"A Fever You Can't Sweat Out"
Chapter Three
-Cadium Kaye Walker
It ended up that Haley's condition was worse that every one had thought. Her last 'attack' had really done damage to her system. She weak and sickly feeling. Haley was disgustingly pale, and all in all just felt like she had the flu times ten. Then after carefully assessing the situation at hand, the doctor thought that it was necessary for some one to stay with Haley. She had a young daughter and claimed to be a single mother, so naturally Dr. Whitman thought that it would be dangerous to leave them alone in New York (he also though that Haley was not up to making the trip back to her LA home. Obviously when he told Nathan all of this he was implying that her should be the one taking care of Haley, and Charlotte.
"Yes! I understand she needs help. But I don't think that, that is the best idea. I want to help but I can't. I just can't. And I know that you don't understand, but-" Nathan was cut off by the doctor once again trying to persuade him into watching after Haley for the next couple of weeks he although was very persistent. Nathan was getting so irritated he had himself convinced that Dr. W. was going to go to the press and say that 'he had gotten the famous Haley James and Nathan Scott back together after a messy break up so many years ago.' He could just see it now, and it was a sight for soar eyes.
"I don't mean to barge into your personal life."
"Well you've already done a pretty damn good job." As Nathan said this he furrowed his brow, and buried his head into his large hands. This was all too much for him to be handling right now.
"Anyways," The doctor continued, completely disregarding Nathan's remark. "I honestly think that it would be best and most logical if you, being her husband took care of her. But also there was something I wanted to bring up if you wouldn't mind?" Nathan didn't bother to answer being that the doctor was going to end up saying it anyways. "You asked me before how old she was. Which gave me the impression that you didn't have a, a um…good relation ship with her if one at all. And I thought that If you did want to get to know her, one might consider this and opportunity." Nathan had decided that this asshole had overstepped his boundaries about five minutes ago.
"For the last god damned time she has other family, she is really close with her sister Brooke. I'm sure she could go there. You know what you're really starting to piss me off (!) so I'll make the god for saken arrangements myself!" as he left the little room he had brought Nathan into he cursed him under his breath. Knowing himself an out burst like this was normal. He always had, had a short temper, although the doctor on the other hand was shocked. Nathan just walked out to his car. He drove home, to his penthouse apartment over looking the river. He never thought he remembered being so confused in his life. Aside from the mind boggling, brain racking confusion he had endured for years when he tried to figure out why the love of his life had left him.
It was at that point that Nathan could bear to see her anymore. He had tried so hard to forget about her; although he was unsuccessful being that she was always on TV or the radio. But he had though he had done a good job, until now. So he decided that he needed to do the right thing, or at least his own version of it. He knew it would be best for Haley and Charlotte. He figured if he had kept her from Nathan for so long she obviously had her reasons so he decided to respect her, even though he resented her for it. Nathan was going to find Brooke.
