It was 4 am. Nathan had just finished taking his "shower" and was lying in bed trying to get back to sleep, trying to get back to the dream. Once realizing he couldn't fall asleep again Nathan decided he had to go for a walk. He just had to get out and clear his head. Nathan pulled on a sweatshirt and went outside. Then he began to walk, not quiet sure, where he was headed, he just had a feeling in his gut to walk and he was gonna follow it.

-------------------------------------------

Haley couldn't sleep. She'd been tossing and turning all night. Ever since she had left on the tour it had been hard to fall asleep, because she didn't have Nathan sleeping beside her. Tonight it just seem particularly hard and she was too lonely to sleep. Finally Haley got up out of bed and slipped on her shoes.

Haley walked outside in her pajama pants and a tank top. She was gonna go to the beach. Maybe being out there would calm her. Out there where the ocean was. Out there were she married Nathan. Out there where her heart was.

--------------------------------------------

Some how Nathan ended up at the beach. He looked out at the ocean. The waves were tumbling, the sky was gray and it was kinda windy. It looks as though it might rain, or at least get chillier. Then Nathan turned. Off in the distance he saw someone sitting out on the beach. He couldn't quiet make out who it was, but his curiosity got the better of him and he began walking in their direction.

---------------------------------------

Haley saw someone walking toward her. She couldn't quiet tell who it was. That's odd she thought, who'd be out here this early. Strangely she wasn't afraid that someone was walking towards her out on the beach at 4:30 in the morning.

Brrrr...it was cold. Haley rubbed her arms with her hands. She stupidly had forgotten to take a sweatshirt.

-------------------------------------

As Nathan got closer he could begin to make out the features of the person sitting on the beach. They had obviously noticed him coming towards them. Also they looked like they were cold.

Was that Haley? What would she be doing out on the beach this early? Nathan began to walk faster. Now he could tell, yes it was Haley.

--------------------------------------

Haley could now see the person coming towards her clearly. They were only about 20 feet away now. Oh my god, Haley thought to herself. It's Nathan. What's he doing her?

Haley didn't move. Partly out of fear, partly out of cold, but mostly out of love. Instead Haley just sat there and waited.

-----------------------------------

Nathan had to control himself from running over to Haley. By now he was already walking quickly towards her. He was sure she had seen him by now. He could tell by the expression read on her face. It was an expression of hope and angst, it was a Haley expression. It was an expression that he'd seen every time he'd see Haley recently. The expression that showed how much she missed him. The expression that melt and hardened his heart all at once.

Nathan was now standing about a foot away from Haley. Neither of them said anything, but Nathan came closer to Haley and then sat down right next to her. They just sat there in silence for a minute, both gazing out into the ocean, both almost longing to be out there. Haley broke the silence.

Haley: Hi (It was so quiet that Nathan almost didn't hear her)

Nathan: Hey.

Haley shivered a little. Nathan looked at her worriedly.

Nathan: Are you cold?

Haley: Just a little. I stupidly decided to go out to the beach at dawn and I'm wearing pajama pants and a tank top (Haley laughs at herself a little)

Nathan takes of his sweatshirt and hands it too Haley.

Nathan: Here

Haley: Thanks(softly)

Haley pulls on Nathan sweatshirt and breathes in his smell. How she had missed that smell. Nathan looked at her slightly funny.

Nathan: Breathing in the salty ocean air?

Haley: No ( Blunt and truthfully)

They sat there in silence for another few minutes. Nathan glances over at Haley and Haley turns and stares back. Haley gets lost in those ice blue eyes. Wow, she never thought she'd get that look from Nathan again. That look that made her feel so warm and safe inside. That look of love and care. Suddenly, with saying anything Nathan reached his hand over and enveloped his fingers with Haley's. Haley looked down at their hands and then looked up at Nathan and smiled a little.

Then Haley got up pulling Nathan up with her. Nathan looked at Haley slightly puzzled.

Haley: Trust me.

Nathan looked into Haley's eyes. Was it possible for him to trust her? The Nathan looked deeper into her eyes and there he found his answer. Yes.

Haley began running towards the ocean, pulling Nathan with her. They ran towards the ocean until waves were toppling over them. In that moment they both felt at peace, they both felt safe, they both felt love.

Hope you guys liked that UD. It was kinda like a poetic sort of fan fic update. Please comment.
