I really liked this chapter, and I hope you guys do to cause I worked so hard on it between my other stories and my busy schedule and my bad case of writer's block... but I think it came out good.

Chapter 9- Leaving Never Felt So Good
He looked at the plane, it was a private jet, a rather comfortable plane. "Well, what are you waiting for? The pilot is good, I haven't died yet, or crashed, and you've flown before," she said, ushering him on the plane, "We need to get to Boston, it's so pretty there, you should see it. If I wasn't staying with you in Tree Hill after my tour, I would so go live in Boston."
"You think I'd like it?"
"Okay, well, you're still coming, you said so," she said running to the plane, "Come on," she said laughing.
"You know I can't run, I've got a bad knee."
"You know you could run if you wanted to, excuses, excuses, excuses, trust me, I know an excuse when I hear one, and that is so an excuse."
"Is not, you know my knee has been bugging me."
"Nathan Scott, when have you ever listened to doctor's orders not to do something? All Scott men are stubborn and you are no exception," she said, waiting for him to catch up with her.
"I am not."
"And there is another trait of Scott men, lying to women."
He smiled at her, trying to hold in a laugh, "Are there anymore traits I should worry about?"
"Yeah, you just did number three, charm, all Scott men charm the ladies."
"So I'm charming you now?"
"And four, humor, all of you have a sense of humor, and in Dan's case, a twisted sense of humor, but a sense of humor nonetheless. I can't exclude any Scotts in my evaluation."
"Really? So you've been watching us?"
"Well, no, I read a book."
"Really, someone wrote a book about me?"
"No, about your family, I got a free copy, being the author's best friend and all."
"Lucas wrote a book?"
"Yeah, and I was interviewed for it, its called 'Inside the Scotts: The One and Only Look Inside Tree Hill's Most Prominent Family.' It wasn't half bad."
"And people actually bought this book?"
"Well, duh, it mentions a lot of famous people, so of course, I'll let you borrow my copy after the tour, if you feel like reading, even though he is a children's writer, he still does like writing information books, gives a nice portfolio."
They got onto the plane, and it was a rather nice plane, "Wow, this is yours?" he asked, looking around.
"For now, I'm thinking of going back to a bus, but I do like the plane, its classy."
"Yeah," he said, looking around.
"So, Nate, how has life been treating you, are you really happy, being a coach, teaching kids?"
"Yeah, I mean, me and Allisha get into these fights, but they're fun, I sort of live for the petty arguments."
"But are you happy?"
"To be honest, I've always wanted you, but then, there was this time that I knew you weren't coming back, and I moved on, it was after my knee thing, all that time in a hospital bed, or on the couch in front of the T.V., and one day I decided I had enough and went out and did something and I've been pretty happy, how about you? Are you happy?"
"Some days I am, and some days I wonder what if. What if I had chosen something else? What if I stayed in Tree Hill? What if I didn't let you talk me into going? Little things. But I am happy right now. Being on tour can be so lonely sometimes."
"Well, I'm glad I can make you happy."
"Nathan, you always make me happy," she smiled.
