Chapter Six: The Weirdest Break Up.
Nathan replayed the events of the day before over and over again in his head too many times to count. He kept thinking about what happened, the yelling, the blood, the razor, the Ikiss/I. It was way to much to handle for him. But something would make it all better, just one thing.
"What are you thinking about?" Rachel whispered in his ear, twirling her hair, in the most girlish way possible.
Not you. Nathan thought, feeling sorry for himself that he was so absorbed with Haley that he went out wit Rachel.
"Rachel, we have to talk." Nathan said, trying to sound like this was killing him, when instead he couldn't wait to get her out of his life.
"Sure. What about? Basketball? Christmas plans? Christmas presents? Oh! I absolutely love presents." Rachel cooed with excitement having no sense at all about what was just about to happen.
First of all, you don't know anything about basketball. Second, I'm not spending Christmas with you . Third, for the hundredth time, yes I know about you loving presents. You probably love them more than you love twirling that god-damned piece of hair. Fourth, you're a bimbo.He stopped thinking for a moment. Bimbo, that's a Haley word. Shoot! Stop thinking about her, man. Get her out of your mind!
"No." Nathan said shortly. " Let's talk about us."
"Alright." Rachel said, still beaming with excitement.
"I don't know how to say this but, I think." He paused. "Wait, you want me to be honest right?" He asked her.
"Yeah, totally honest." She smiled.
He returned the smile with the trademark grin and started, "Okay, well, if we're being totally honest, I want to break up with you. I really can't stand you, and I know nothing about you. And, I wasn't planning on spending Christmas with you."
Nathan did not care what she was feeling or going to do. He just wanted her out of his life.
Rachel's face flushed and fell and tears formed around her eyes.
"What?" Rachel said, "How can you say that?"
"Well, my mouths opens and it just comes out."
"But I thought we were good together." Rachel said quietly.
"Yeah about that. We're not."
"Well, if that's what you want." Rachel said hoping he would change his mind.
"Yeah, it is."
Rachel suddenly looked like she did five minutes ago. Perky, happy , oblivious to everything around her. "I guess I'll leave then."
"Yeah, you should."
After about five minutes Rachel was still there, looking into space, like Nathan wasn't even there.
"Rachel, the door is that way."
"Oh gosh, yeah, sorry. I was just thinking about which guy to go out with tonight." Rachel answered.
"Oh good luck with that." He called after her, and with the slam of the door he called even louder. "And tell the guy that you go out with good luck!"
I know short, but the next chapter is a two parter and something unexpected is going to happen. It's mainly about Brooke, Lucas and Peyton and you could throw in someone else. Drama!
