A/N: Hi guys. This is my first fanfic so please bear with me! Haley has been tutoring Nathan for a little while now and they haven't kissed yet. Sorry it's short, the chapters will get longer. ;)
Deep in Thought
He stood perfectly still at the water's edge, his arms crossed over his chest as his mind relayed the events of the previous morning.
"Why do you enjoy hurting him so much Nathan?" Her soft voice broke through the silence that reigned through the school gym. His back was turned to her and he was about to shoot the ball in his hands effortlessly through the hoop when he felt the sudden urge to explain his actions, to finally let his emotions out to someone who might possibly care…No! He couldn't; she would only slash through his hopes, she would only break his heart, she would leave him there, standing alone – just like everyone else did. So instead, he flicked his wrists, watched the ball sink through the hoop and replied coolly to her question,
"Because I can." And with that, he walked away leaving the basket ball gently rolling to the corner of the court and Haley standing there battling through her own conflict of emotions.

She lay on her bed, fiddling with the bracelet he had given her that fateful morning of their first tutoring session. Her heart was currently warring with her mind. All the logic in the world wouldn't be able to figure out why she was feeling this way towards him. He treated Lucas so badly, he didn't have any respect for anyone but himself and yet when she was around him, her heart fluttered and her stomach did back flips. He frustrated her, she wanted him to open up to her and he never would, he angered her, he could never stop hurting Lucas even when it was her only condition with him and somehow she couldn't keep away from him. His scent intoxicated her, his crystal blue eyes set her heart on fire, burning with desire, Haley James was falling for Nathan Scott and he was her addiction. There. She admitted it – the first step is admitting you have a problem. The next is to deal with it.
So here she was, mere inches apart from Nathan as he stood on the beach with his back towards her, his arms crossed in front of him. Her head kept telling her to run, run as far as her legs could carry her but it was all in vain, as her heart prevailed and with each step she took, she was surer she was making the right decision. Before she knew it, her hands were around his neck and her head was gently resting on his chest. She could hear his heart beating quicker inside him as he placed his hands around her small waist. No words were spoken, the silence between them was deafening.
Remember: Review!
