Chapter 10 – Why Can't Forever Start Today?
"What do you want Keller?"
'I want you to listen to me for once and keep your mouth shut. Haley loves you man. Don't you get that? Even that night when she got on the bus, she looked at me and told me what you said and then she said our love is strong, we will make it through this. I laughed at her. You guys are 16 years old. I thought you two were crazy. Then everyday on the tour when I would go to get her for rehearsal I could tell she had been up all night crying. When you had your accident do you know why Haley didn't come immediately? It was because she fell apart. She literally couldn't take care of herself. She couldn't come to you Nate. Now give it up man. She loves you, she came back for you. She gave up her music for you. Not because she had to, because she wanted to. Now suck it up and get over it all ready." Chris walked out the door and Nathan turned to look at Haley.
"Nathan, if I had ever thought the tour would have torn us apart I wouldn't have went."
Nathan looked down at the floor. He didn't want Haley to see the tears swelling up in his eyes.
Haley continued. "You are the love of my life. I had and still have every intention of waking up with your arms around me every morning for the rest of my life. Nathan, the other stuff doesn't work without you. I can't breathe without you and I don't want to. No matter how far away I was from you my heart was always right beside you. I know what I did was wrong. I will never do that to you again. But you have to trust me. I gave you my heart, and if that's not enough for you then I'm not enough for you. But I need to know. Do you still love me?"
Nathan looked up at Haley. He couldn't believe that she was asking him this question.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you still love me Nathan? If you love me and I love you the rest of it just doesn't matter."
Nathan looked up at Haley. "Always and Forever, right Hales?"
Nathan quickly walked behind the counter and wrapped his arms around his wife's waist pulling her into a strong embrace.
"I can't do this without you anymore Hales. I need you."
"Oh Nathan, I need you too. I wake up every morning praying that this would be the day you would let me back in."
"Well it looks like your prayers have been answered." Nathan gently placed his hand on Haley's chin and lifted it up until his lips met hers. He had never had anything feel so right. They stayed wrapped in an embrace for a long time then Haley gently pulled away and looked in Nathan's eyes.
"So what does this mean Nathan?"
"I will love you forever Haley, and it looks like forever starts today.
