Nathan was already two inches away from Chris with his fists clenched, ready to sock him. Chris took a few steps back away from Nathan.

Chris: Woah woah man, chill, I'm not hear for Haley. I'm just here to talk to Peyton.

Peyton looked confused and took a few steps back towards her house.

Chris: Hang on. I guess I owe you guys an explanation.

Haley: You think Chris? (Rolls her eyes)

Chris: Come on Haley, we were friends on the tour, can't we still be?

Haley: You've been following me around and trying to break Nathan and I up and now you wanna know if we can still be friends? (Scoff)

Chris: Okay. (Sigh) Here it is. When Nathan told me that he didn't want me practicing with you anymore I went to his house to beg him to change his mind. I really needed the money that he was paying me.

Haley: (Turns to Nathan) You were paying him?

Nathan grimances and nods. Haley looks a bit upset.

Chris: Don't get angry with him Haley, he was just doing it because he loves you and wanted to have the one thing your heart belongs to, music.

Haley: My heart doesn't belong to music Chris. I mean, yes I love music, but my heart belongs to Nathan, not music. All I need to have what my heart belongs to is Nathan.

Chris: Yes, well as sweet as that is, may I continue?

Haley: (Rolls eyes once more ) Go ahead Chris.

Chris: Ok, so when I got to Nathan's house, Dan was there. He said he'd pay me $500 to break you two up. I really need the money, so I decided to do it. I'm really sorry guys, but I'm telling you that now, I've decided not to go through with it, because I can tell you guys need each other.

Nathan: (Still clenching his fists ) So, Dan's behind this. God, I should have know!

Haley goes over to Nathan and rubs his shoulder. Then she puts her chin on his shoulder in a loving way. Nathan begins to get less tense.

Chris: So, do you guys forgive. ( Grins stupidly at them)

Haley: Well...

Nathan: Yeah we do.

Haley: (Looks at him) We do?

Nathan: Yeah, this isn't a matter of Chris Haley, this is about my..., Dan.

Haley: (Sigh) Yeah, I guess we forgive you Chris. So why are you here to see Peyton anyway?

Chris: Oh, yeah, Peyton your boyfriends going to dump you for another girl. You should beat him up.

Peyton: You mean how Jake already did dump me for another girl?

Chris: Aren't you pissed. Don't you wanna kill him?

Peyton: (Furrows her brow) No, not really. Why do you care? Better yet, how did you know?
