Okay I had originally planned to go into why Nathan and Haley broke up, but "One Tree Hill" was new this week and will continue to be so you guys have to wait for the past part. Right now the story's going to focus on Haley and Nathan trying to figure everything out. But there will also be Jeyton goodness and don't worry, we haven't heard the last from Brooke, and Lucas is still single...

"Why do you make me hurt you?"

Nathan opened his eyes. Standing by the bed with her hands on her hips was Haley. Her sunglasses were off and she had toned down her outfit, wearing jeans and a t-shirt instead. Nathan groaned and pushed himself up on his forearms.

"I'm in the middle of something," he said.

"That 'something' walked out ten minuets ago," Haley snapped, "now get up."

"Why?" Nathan asked.

"Because you have to take those divorce papers to your lawyers," Haley said, "now!"

"Haley, Woods will still be there in two days when Monday comes around and my lawyer's back in his office."

"I don't have until Monday!" Haley shrieked. Nathan scrutinized Haley. She took her hands off her waist and was twisting her engagement ring around her finger as if to assure herself it was still there.

"Does he know?" Nathan asked suddenly.

"What?" Haley gasped, caught off guard.

"I asked, 'does he know'?"

"Yes of course," Haley said dismissively. Nathan laughed out of bitter delight. This day was just getting better and better, "alright fine!" Haley threw up her hands, "I was hoping to take care of this problem before he found out."

"You shouldn't start a marriage with a lie Haley," Nathan said as if he were the tutor and she were the student, "it only ends badly."

"You would know," Haley snapped back.

"As would you," Nathan shot back. Haley's eyes lit up with dangerous fire. Sensing he was about to witness a huge explosion, Nathan decided to change the subject, "how did you get in?"

"Your 'something' let me in," she said dismissively.

"Ah," Nathan said, "would you mind leaving the room?"

"Not until you sign the papers," Haley said crossing her arms.

"Have it your way," Nathan shrugged and stood up.

Haley felt her face get hot. She turned away quickly, cursing herself and him. Herself for being stupid enough to believe Nathan had cloths on under those sheets and cursing him for still being able to make her blush.

Taking his time to spite her, Nathan pulled on nothing more than a pair of shorts before walking out of the room. Haley was still in there, her back to the bed, lost in thought with her face bright red. Nathan couldn't help but smile at her face with her eyes closed as she muttered, probably against him.

'God she's beautiful,' Nathan thought and froze, 'where did that come from?'.

"The view's better out here," Nathan offered with a grin. Haley's face flew up and she shot him a dirty look before walking past him.

"Where are those papers?" she demanded.

"In one of those drawers," Nathan said waving his hand in the direction of the chest that stood next to the wall of one of the rooms, "want some breakfast?" Nathan asked.

"No I want a divorce," Haley said.

"Well in the meantime?"

Looking up from her search, Haley shot him a look he hadn't seen since that first date when they were force to go shopping together. That don't-mess-with-me-right-now-look that he loved.

"Yes or no?" he asked.

"Fine," she relented, turning back to her search. The first drawer she found had a plain white wedding album. Peaking inside, Haley saw a picture of Peyton in a white gown, her arms around Jenny who was wearing a pink dress. Behind them Jake grinned happily. Closing the drawer, Haley looked in another. This one was filled with basketball trophies and such. Pulling on another, Haley almost stopped in shock.

It was full of letters.

"Didn't peg you for someone this sentimental," Haley commented dryly.

Nathan glanced over and his eyes widened.

"Haley—" he began.

"B. Davis?" she asked peering at the address, "I thought you and Lucas were all brotherly. Guess I was wrong."

Nathan rolled his eyes.

"Come sit and I'll explain," he said placing two plates of steaming scrambled eggs in front of them. Haley sat down at the counter that separated his kitchen from the rest of the room.

"I got the first letter a few years ago because I crashed next door to Lucas and there was a mix up. Then she kept writing to me, maybe she just wanted someone to talk to."

Haley gave him a skeptical look.

"What?" Nathan asked, "I can be fun to talk too. Anyway, she's living in New Orleans and she's—" he trailed off with a laugh.

"What?" Haley said.

"You wouldn't believe me," he said shaking his head.

"Try me," Haley said with a smirk.

"She's a doctor."

Haley laughed. Her shoulders shook as she just laughed. After all that had happened over the past day, the fact that Brooke-I'm-more-popular-than-you-so-nananana-Davis was a Doctor living in New Orleans while everyone thought she was living on daddy's dime in New York was so unbelievable that Haley actually believed it.

"I know, ridiculous huh?" Nathan shrugged.

"No, leave it to Brooke to prove everyone wrong," Haley smiled when she had herself under control, "these are good, where did you learn to cook?"

"When you become friend when your brother, his mom is very willing to teach you," he said with a wink. Haley nodded.

"So what else do you have in this dresser?" she asked when they were finished, sitting on the floor in front of it. Nathan shrugged and turned back to cleaning the dishes. Haley flicked through the drawers finding nothing that interesting until her hand contacted soft black material.

Stuffing the socks back into the drawer before Nathan noticed she picked them up, Haley stood up and dusted herself off.

"Well," she said, "I'll leave you to square things out with your lawyers before mine have to get involved."

Nathan looked as she walked out. Frowning, he dried off his hands and approached the chest. One of the drawers was open slightly. Nathan opened it more and hung his head. What Lucas had jokingly labeled "the forbidden drawer", was filled with everything from his tumultuous relationship with Haley.

Mentally cursing, Nathan turned and slammed his fist into the wall, cursing whatever twisted God had made his life so complicated.
