Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill. Wish I did though; cause then I would be rich, lol.

This story came to be after hearing Daniel Beddingfield's song, "If Your Not the One." and the song makes an appearance, but because new rules on I will not post the lyrics.

I love Haley and Nathan together, and hope they can work things out. They are perfect together, and never thought I would say that, lol. Nathan was a jerk, but now he's cool, and I want to see him happy, so Haley: GO HOME!

A/N: I know on the show the Wreckers were the other act, but has rules about using real people, so I just called them the other act, lol.

This is about how Nathan feels without Haley, and the lengths he will go through to get her back. A few flash backs (in a dream) in the beginning, just to set the mood. Enjoy and review!

Chapter 5: Nightmare Comes True

Flash

"Marry me!" said Nathan as he lay in bed next to Haley.

"What?"

"Marry me, I am serious, Hales. I love you, marry me!"

"Nathan Scott do you take Haley James whom you now hold by the hand to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Do you promise to love and cherish her, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto her, for so long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"Haley James do you take Nathan Scott whom you now hold by the hand to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"Do you promise to love and cherish him, in sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, for better for worse, and forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him, for so long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"With the power invested in me, by the state of North Carolina. I declare you husband and wife. I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Scott."

"Chris said they liked our demo and wants me to join them on tour."

"That's great!"

"I'm supposed to leave tonight."

"Is this about Chris?"

"No. It's about my chance to make my career take off. It's about my music."

"Then why didn't you ask me to come with you?"

Haley falls silent.

"You can go, but if you leave, we're through."

"Nathan!"

"Haley!"

"I'm sorry Nathan, she's gone," says Taylor James, "She's gone."

Flash

(Voice in his head)

She's gone…

She's gone...

She's gone…

Nathan bolts up in his bed. 'That nightmare was so real.'

He glances over to his wife, only for the realization to hit him.

Her side of the bed was empty. He leans back with his hands on his face. 'Oh, it's true, she's gone.'

'Why did I tell her that if she left we were through? I didn't know then, that it would be the last words she would hear me say.'

Right now, she's in New York with Chris, not knowing that I didn't mean it. I still want a future with her.

Please God let Haley call me before she makes a huge mistake.'

Hales, I don't know for sure what you are doing. I don't know if you were telling me the truth when you said you didn't have feeling for Chris.

In addition, what if you took me saying. 'If you leave, we're through' seriously.

Are you with him?

The why this, and what ifs are killing me, it's the not knowing…

Haley

Haley

You're all I think about. You're in my head and in my heart. I'd rather die than let you go, Hales. God, if your listening, please help me get her back. Please let what I'm about to do work.'


Haley walks off the stage after performing her duet with Chris. She was still getting used to performing in front of a huge audience. The fans were all shouting her name, and they loved her. Chris had even complained that they liked her more than him.

She grabbed her bottled water from where she had left it before going onstage. She sat down and from backstage she could hear the next act as they started singing.

Haley was through for the night.

Haley walked around the stagehands and walks toward her dressing room. She now had everything she had always wanted; she was famous!

'But what good is it? It can't give me what I want, or who I want? Why did I throw my marriage away? For this? But, singing was my dream! However, what good is a dream if Nathan isn't here to share it?

Maybe I can still save my marriage. If I leave right now, I can go back to Tree Hill, where I belong.

No, Nathan said I that if I chose to come here, he would be gone when I got home. I left. That means I don't have a home to go back to.

Maybe someday though, maybe someday I can go back home. Maybe someday, Nathan will forgive me…

Yeah right! In my dreams!

He's gone forever, might as well accept it. If he wants me back, he an come here after me.

I'll focus on my music, and everything will work itself out. It has before right?'


Nathan pulled his car up in front of Lucas' house. He gets out and walks the short walkway to the house. He walks up the steps and rings the doorbell. He looked up as Karen opened the door, "Nathan."

"Hey Mrs. Rowe."

"How are you doing?"

"Not good to be honest. Is Lucas home?"

"Yea, he's in the kitchen, come on in."

"Thanks."

"Right through there," she pointed toward a small archway that led to a hallway. "To your left. I'll leave you two boys alone."

"Alright, thanks."

"Hey Luke."

"Nathan! Hey, what's up?"

"I need $95."

"Whoa, nice to see you too. What you need the money for?"

"A bus ticket to New York."

"You going to get Hales?"

"Duh."

"Alright, let's see what I have," he says as he stands up from the table and fumbles through his pockets, "Do you have any money?"

"Yeah $15.00"

"Alright all I have is," still digging in his pockets, finally he pulled out a handful of crumbled up bills. He unfolded and counted; "I have $30." He handed it to Nathan.

"Man, never thought I'd see the day when you had more money than me," he joked. "But I still need $50. Got any ideas?"

"Yeah, let's ask my mom," said Lucas.

"She isn't going to give me money, not after all the crap I did to you."

"Then you come up with something."

"Either Brooke or Peyton?"

"Peyton left with Jake to go get Jenny. Brooke is working at the Crab shack, your ex is more broke then both of us."

"Alright Tim?"

"Dude, he hung out with me cause I had the money!"

"True, alright…Dan?"

"He wouldn't help me, and don't ask, my mom won't even try to help me. She hated Hales."

"Alright, then come with me."

"OK."

They walked back toward the living room. "Hey mom, Nathan needs to ask you something."

"What is it Nathan?"

"Mrs. Rowe, I am trying to get money together to go get my wife, I need Haley. I have $45…."

"How much do you need?"

"$50."

"Alright, let me get my purse."

"Really?"

"Yeah really. Why? Did you think I would say no?"

"To tell you the truth, yeah."

"Why?"

"Because I was real jerk to Luke."

"Yeah you were, but you're not anymore. You've become a fine young man Nate."

"Because of Haley."

"Yeah, now go be with her," she said handing him the money.

He counted and was shocked to find instead of $50, she had given him $200. "Mrs.' Ro.."

"You've been rich to long Nate," she laughed, "I am guessing the $95 was to get there?" Nathan nodded. "The rest of the money will get you something to eat, a card that says, 'I'm sorry.' For Hales, and a way back home."

"Thanks, I'll pay you back."

"Don't worry about it. Haley is like a daughter to me. And she loves you, and you love her, now go!"

"Thanks."

Ok so how am I doing so far? I hope I am doing justice to this great show. I can't wait for it to return to easy view on Sunday, until then, I can't see season 3, cause I go to church on Wednesday.
