A/N: WOW, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED BOTH STORIES. SORRY ABOUT THAT-MY BIRTHDAY JUST PASSED AND I'M PLANNING MY PARTY, AND IT'S BEEN TAKING A LOT OF TIME. BESIDES THE FACT THAT I'M EXTREMELY SAD TO SEE ME FINALIZE AND PUBLISH THIS LAST CHAPTER OF DAMAGED.

BESIDES THAT, DUE TO THE WONDERFUL NATHAN AND HALEY EPISODES, AND THE TRAGIC EPISODE THAT JUST PASSED- I FIGURED I'D UPDATE NOW, CONSIDERING I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF HOMEWORK, AND I HAD SOME EXTRA TIME. AND HOW WAS EVERYONE DURING THE LAST EPISODE. ONLY ONE TREE HILL CAN TAKE THE LAST, WHAT? MINUTE-AND MAKE IT THE MOST HEART-WRENCHING, TRAGIC EXPERIENCE. WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS HYSTERICAL CRYING!

THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL OF MY REVIEWERS, AND HERE IS THE EPILOGUE TO "DAMAGED"


EPILOGUE: DAMAGED

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged…

"Beautiful wedding," Haley said to Nathan.

Nathan turned to her and smiled, "Yeah. Bride was beautiful."

"Brooke's never been happier," Haley told Nathan.

"Don't I know it. I just don't get why she waited so long to get married. I mean, we even beat them, and they've been engaged longer then us," Nathan said turning to his wife.

"She wanted it to be perfect, and I just wanted it," Haley said.

"How are you feeling?" Nathan asked concerned about his pregnant wife.

"This one's a kicker," Haley said rubbing her stomach.

"So was the last one," Nathan replied.


Exactly a year after Nathan and Haley became a couple, Nathan proposed, telling her he couldn't live with out her.

Flashback

"Happy anniversary," Nathan said to Haley who was emerging from her room.

"Happy anniversary," Haley replied looking towards the kitchen where Nathan had obviously made dinner.

"Nathan," Haley gasped. "You did this?"

"Yep," Nathan said proud of himself.

Some time after their desert, Nathan became extremely quiet and nervous and Haley looked towards her boyfriend asking him what was wrong.

"I can't hold it in!" Nathan exclaimed.

"Then don't?" Haley said.

"I love you, Haley. I love you so, so much. And…I don't want to live with out you. I want to wake up with you, have kids with you," he paused apologizing, "And I just…I want you to me mine, forever. Will you marry me?" Nathan paused, "Again?"

Haley looked towards Nathan, "Yes!"

End Flashback

They were married a year later, having their first child, Natalie Scott around 8 months after their wedding. Two years later, Haley was pregnant again, to a boy this time, who they were going to name Daniel James, after both of their fathers.

Brooke and Lucas took 5 whole years to officially tie the knot. Brooke wanted a fairytale wedding, and Lucas was the one to give it to her. They were so in love, and were planning on having children quickly after the wedding.

Peyton and Jake's first born, Jake Jr. was born a little after Haley and Nathan's decision to become a couple. Peyton and Jake decided to have one more, and little Andrea was born 2 very short months after Natalie.

Chris and Taylor were married, with Katie, their only child. The two of them were very much in love, and decided that the two of them were the ones who helped Nathan and Haley become "Naley" as Brooke called them.

Chris once said, "Tay, if we'd never slept together, and you gotten pregnant, Haley would've never ended up with Nathan!"

Nathan replied, "I still don't like you-so shut your mouth."

Nathan and Chris, now family, had to end up working through their Haley issues. Even though the two of them still have some problems, they deal with each other.


"Hey, wife," Nathan told his wife.

"You wanna dance?" she asked him. "And don't call me wife."

Nathan pulled Haley up off her chair, and said, "Okay, what should I call you?"

"Um, my dearest love, the love of my life, sweetheart," Haley rambled.

"I love you," Nathan caught her off.

Haley smiled, "I love you, too."

THAT'S IT! I'M DONE! THIS IS DAMAGED…

SO I HAVE A FEW THINGS TO SAY.

THESE ARE THE LYRICS TO DAMAGED, AND I'M GOING TO DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHY I PICKED THIS SONG.

I know I'm kinda strange, to you sometimes
Don't always say, what's on my mind

You know that I've been hurt, by some guy
But I don't wanna mess up this time

And I really really really care
And I really really really want you
And I think I'm kinda scared
'cause I don't want to lose you
If you really really really there
Then maybe you can hang through
I hope you understand
It's nothing to you

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged

I might look through your stuff, for what I don't wanna find
Or I might just set you up, to see if you're all mine
I'm a little paranoid, from what I've been through
Don't know what you got yourself into

And I really really really care (And I care about you so much)
And I really really really want you (I really do want you)
And I think I'm kinda scared (But I'm scared with every touch)
'cause I don't want to lose you ('cause I don't want to lose you)
If you really really really there (If you care for me like you say)
Then maybe you can hang through (Then maybe you can hang through)
I hope you understand (I hope you understand)
It's nothing to you (It's nothing to you, you)
My heart's at a low (low)
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that (I think you should know)
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love (I'm falling in love)
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged (I think you should know that)

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage (I'm so much to manage)
I think you should know that (I think you should know that)
I've been damaged (I've been damaged)
I'm falling in love (I love you so)
There's one disadvantage (I love you so)
I think you should know that I've been damaged

And I really really really want you
And I think I'm kinda scared
'cause I don't want to lose you
If you really really really there
Then maybe you can hang through
I hope you understand
It's nothing to you (It's nothing to you)

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that (Ooh I think you should know I've been damaged)
I've been damaged (I've been damaged baby)
I'm falling in love (Falling in love with you baby, yeah)
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged

"Damaged" by TLC is beautifully written and sung, (D/L it, if you hadn't already) and when you read the lyrics, you can understand how I intertwined both the song and the story.

One summer day, I was watching a "E True Hollywood Story: TLC" I heard "Damaged" and immediately fell in love with it, and downloaded it. I then listened to the song over and over again on my vacation, finally deciding on a fanfic. Never did I imagine the fanfic would end up with the amount of reviews I've received and the best response to any of my fics, so far. But believe me, I only plan to go up!

Damaged to me, is a song about a girl who has been hurt by a guy extremely horribly. And now, she's falling in love with someone else, who she had already known, and scared to loose. She's scared to mess up something that is already strong. What better than have a Naley fic, and who better to be that one she's scared to loose than Nathan?

When I started fanfiction, I thought it would be fun, just to throw my ideas around. My ideas have become stories that I will never forget, due to my readers. Each story shows a different side of my writing Nathan/Haley fic. And the next fic out, "Everytime We Touch" shows yet one more.


Lets go through what I've done so far: Hate, Futurefic, Best friends…ahh...What's next on my list?

Well, for "Every time We Touch," I'll tell ya

Haley James, Lucas Roe, Peyton Sawyer and Tim Smith are all best friends, and the kings and queens of Tree Hill High. When Haley James' archenemy, also known as her cousin, Brooke Davis moves to Tree Hill with her three sidekicks due to business deals of her parents, how will Haley and Brooke clash? How about when all eight are practically forced, to get along? Relationships will be broken, formed and friendships will renew. AU: Naley, Brucas, Jeyton—along with other couples.

Summary: 'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling….

Song: Everytime We Touch, Cascada…ANOTHER AMAZING SONG!

NEXT I WANT TO THANK ALL OF MY REVIEWERS, THIS STORY HAS TAKEN ME SOMEWHERE I'VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE, AND THAT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU.

SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN!

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

BESIDES ALL THIS, I WANTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT IN MY LAST CHAPTER, PREVIOUS TO THE EPILOGUE--I DIDN'T LEAVE A CLIFFHANGER, WHICH WAS WHY THIS CHAPTER WAS SHORT COMPARED TO MY OTHER TWO EPILOGUES. IF YOU DID READ, YOU CAN REMEMBER THAT ACCIDENTALLY IN LOVE'S LAST CHAPTER HAD NATHAN ASKING HALEY IF THEY COULD GIVE EACH OTHER A SHOT TO BE TOGETHER-AND IN AND IF I HAD TO DO IT ALL AGAIN, THE LAST CHAPTER HAD BROOKE LEAVING HER FIANCE, FELIX, AT THE ALTAR, AND LUCAS WALKING IN AFTER HER SAYING JUST "HI". THE EPILOGUES OF BOTH STORIES WAS MY WAY OF MAKING REVIEWERS ACTUALLY WONDER HOW THINGS WERE GOING TO END UP, WHEN THIS ONE JUST TIED UP SOME EXTRA LOOSE ENDS.

WHO KNOWS WHAT I'LL DO FOR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET?

ONLY ME...
