It was a few since Nathan and Haley came back from Connecticut, Haley's dad was still up in Connecticut until he became stronger. Nathan and Haley were stronger then ever and everything was wonderful. They were happier then ever and the fact that Nathan was staying Tree Hill made it even better. They didn't tell anyone that he was staying but since school was starting in less than a month it was a topic of many discussions.
"Can you believe we are going to be seniors!" Brooke said excitedly as Lucas Haley and Nathan sat in the café.
"Nope, high school went by so fast, but this year is gonna rock." Haley said smiling at the fact that Nathan would be there with her.
"Yes it will." Nathan whispered hissing her temple.
"So what about you Nate? How's your year gonna be without Hales?" Brooke asked.
"Well it'll be hard at first but we'll make it." Nathan lied.
"Yea well at least you wont her dad pushing you with basketball." Lucas said.
"Yea well that's the only good thing about it. Well Hales and I are gonna go hang out."
"Yep, I'm gonna go kick his $$ in mini golf." Haley laughed.
"Or so she thinks."
:"so when are you gonna tell everyone that you aren't going back to Connecticut?" Haley asked as they played mini golf.
"Well tonight my mom is having this dinner thing. I think she wants to have something before I leave, but I'm gonna tell them there and I want you there when I tell them.
"Nate I'd love to." Haley smiled.
"Good. Oh and don't worry my mom wants you to come."
"I know she said something to me earlier this week."
"So you knew all this time and you didn't tell me?"
"I was waiting for you to ask me." Haley smiled.
later that day after going home, getting ready and helping his mom, Nathan went to go get Haley.
"Hey Hales." Nathan said coming into her house.
"Hey Nate. You ready to tell everyone that you're staying?" Haley asked as she grabbed her purse.
"Yep they'll be glad to hear that I'm finally home for good."
"Well then why keep them waiting?"
"Lets go." Nathan laughed.
"Haley how is your dad?" Karen asked as they all sat down to a delicious dinner.
"He is getting better. He is still up in Connecticut, the doctors wanted to keep him up there until he becomes stronger."
"That's good. Speaking of Connecticut, did you know that Nathan goes to school up there?"
"Yea I told here when we were up there, but I'm not going to school there this year, I want to go to Tree Hill High." Nathan said.
"You mean you're staying here?" Karen asked near tears.
"Yep. I want to spend my senior year at home with my family. Well except dad, I could live without him." Nathan laughed as his mom pulled him into a hug.
"Both my boys home where they belong."
