Smith

"Hey stranger I haven't seen you since you and Peyton rushed me here. Where have you been?" Haley asked Smith who was standing in her doorway.

"Oh………yeah I know I was just a little scared about coming back up here because your husband was here. I didn't want to make things weird by me being here!" Smith said with a sad look on his face.

"Hey your one of my friends and your welcome here at anytime. I mean you and Peyton have been getting along pretty well lately!" Haley said to Smith with a twinkle in her eye.

"Yeah I guess you could say that…I mean I like her and all but it's like she doesn't want to get to close to me. Is it me…. I mean did I do something wrong?" Smith asked a little scared.

"No she's had a really rough life……and every time she lets someone in they always get taken away from her. So if she seems a little distant with you it's probably because she's afraid of losing you." Haley said trying to calm Smith down. "Hey come here you look like you need a hug!" Haley said as she pulled Smith to her. Just then they heard someone open the door. Haley turned to find no other than her oh so loving father-in-law.

"Well, well, well what is this…..my daughter-in-law getting close to a guy who isn't my son!" Dan said with his evil laugh.

"DAN……..what are you doing here?" Haley asked with a shocked look on her face.

"And miss an opportunity to see my son and his wife in misery…..I wouldn't miss is for the world. But I can see that your not hurting Haley. What would Nathan do if he walked in and saw you hugging him?" Dan said trying to scare Haley.

"Dan why don't you just get the hell out of here before I have you thrown out………because neither me nor Nathan want you here!" Haley said matter of factly

"Dad Haley's right get out of here because this is no matter that you need to be a part of." Nathan said in a pissed off voice.

"Well son I'm hurt I'm really hurt. You don't even want me here when my grandchildren could've died!" Dan said with his same shit face smile that he always gets. Dan left right after Haley picked up the phone and had security to come up to her room to scare him away.

"Hey Hales I'm sorry he was up here bugging you. Hey Smith I haven't seen you in awhile……how have you been?"

"Hey I've been good……I've been really busy lately so I haven't been able to make it up here a whole lot!" Smith exclaimed

"Yeah man I understand. Ummmm……..Haley do you want to go and see Brielle now?" Nathan asked Haley.

"Yeah let's go…….hey Smith you can come too I mean don't fell like you can't." Haley said to Smith

"No I think I'm gonna get out of here and go and check on Peyton…..umm talk to you all later." Smith said to Nathan and Haley. As Haley and Nathan walked to see their daughter and Smith walked out to go see Peyton.
