A/N- So, like oh my god. I have not updated in forever, seriously like two months. I am so sorry. I haven't had much time for anything because my marks were super bad from when my grandma was sick so I really had to work on them and I have been spending lots of time with my best friend because she is leaving on Sunday and it's very sad. Thanks for the reviews from like two months ago. This story is the sequel to a story about my life so sometimes I'm not in the mood to write about because it brings up old memories and stuff. I finished my second story like a month ago and that's another reason I haven't updated here, I just wanted to get Turn Around finished. Okay here's the next chapter. Please review because I am getting to a point where if I don't get reviews I don't really have the heart to keep writing.
As It Comes
Chapter Thirteen
Moving On
Haley walked up the front steps of her house to a large green door. She opened her small silver clutch and began looking for her keys. Her hand touched many objects and finally settled on the cool metals that were her keys. She slid the keys into the slot and the door opened. "Nate, c'mon," Haley said impatiently as Nathan lingered at his SUV for some reason or another.
"Coming," Nathan yelled back as he finally found what he was looking for, his cell phone. Nathan ran up to the front of the house and into the door that Haley had left open. "Hales?" Nathan called lightly into the house forgetting that her parents weren't home.
"In the kitchen," Haley's light voice replied. Nathan walked into the kitchen to find Haley pouring a cup of coke for her and root beer for him. "Here you go," Haley said pushing the cool cup towards Nathan who had sat down at the end of the counter.
"Tonight has been strange, eh?" Nathan said as he took a drink of is root beer.
"Very much so," Haley replied. Nathan had been hoping for a more of an answer.
"Yeah," Nathan said. "So do you want to do anything?"
"We can play video games; my dad has a lot of them. He is kind of obsessed and apparently he has a pretty fancy game system, I don't really know," Haley said. "It's in the family room downstairs."
"Okay," Nathan said popping out of his seat. Haley led him towards the stairs that lead to the basement. Once they reached the basement Haley settled in one of the bean bag chairs sitting up close to the TV and let Nathan deal with video games. "So what do you want to play?" Nathan asked casually.
"Um, I really suck but I am the best at the race car games," Haley said.
"Okay then," Nathan said as he slid a disk into the game console and handed Haley a controller and took his place beside her. "You're going down, Haley James," Nathan joked.
"Not really going to argue with that one," Haley said laughing. Nathan watched Haley as she played. She moved with the car and moved her hands as if that was helping. She looked just so cute and young. "What are looking at?" Haley said breaking Nathan's trace.
"Just you," Nathan said quietly.
"Stop," Haley said raising her eyebrows and giving Nathan punch in the shoulder.
"Okay," Nathan replied giving his attention to the game again. Haley and Nathan continued to play over and over again. Nathan was not really paying attention and Haley was trying to hardest and she finally beat him.
"I won! I won!" Haley taunted Nathan as she drove across the finish line with her car and Nathan was far back.
"It only took you like fifty tries," Nathan said smirking.
"Shut up," Haley squealed. She jumped on to him and began to punch him, forgetting all of the tension between them. Her fake anger finally finished and she was left sitting on top of Nathan with nowhere to go.
"Hales," Nathan said in an almost whisper.
"Don't," Haley said.
"Too late," Nathan said smirking and reached up towards her and kissed her. "Sorry, couldn't help myself," Nathan said as the pair broke apart.
"You shouldn't have done that," Haley whispered.
"But I wanted to," replied Nathan. Haley reached towards him and kissed him.
The next morning, Peyton lied by herself in the room, the white blank walls looking back at her. Her boyfriend was going out with one of her best friends, and her other best friend was siding with Haley. She was alone. Her own father wasn't even here when she woke up. Of course he was on another one of his jobs. As always she was alone. Peyton was completely sure why she was so mad about Nathan and Haley she could see where they were coming from and like Lucas said she had seen Nathan and Haley getting back together since the day they broke up. Peyton turned onto her side and began to cry.
Jake sat on his couch in his living room, Nikki had left. She was pregnant with his child and she left. Jake casually flipped through the channels in the TV. Finally something caught his eye. A picture of Peyton Sawyer in the top of the screen as the TV reporter spoke, "A few months ago, we reported a car accident involving two teenagers, boyfriend and girlfriend Nathan Scott and Peyton Sawyer. Mr. Scott escaped the accident without injury while Miss. Sawyer was left in a coma in the hospital, we are happy to report to you today that Peyton Sawyer has awoken from her two month sleep. Doctors say she is doing well and has minimal memory loss." Jake looked at the screen for a few seconds while the weather for the day was presented, Jake was in shock. He and Peyton hadn't really been close but everyone was impatiently waiting for to awake. Jake grabbed his coat and keys and went to the hospital.
Lydia and Jimmy James slowly opened the door to their house. The lights were on. Haley was a freak about saving money by not leaving lights on. "Haley?" Lydia called into the house.
"Maybe she is still asleep," Jimmy told his wife seeing the worry on her face.
"Hopefully," Lydia replied as she walked up the stairs towards Haley's room.
"Wait!" Jimmy called to his wife, "I hear noise coming from the basement." The pair made their way to the basement to find their daughter wrapped in the arms of Nathan Scott as the TV spoke of the awakening of seventeen year old, Peyton Sawyer.
"Haley James!" Lydia yelled. Haley opened her eyes slowly to see her parents staring at her and Nathan on the floor. Haley immediately stood up pushing Nathan away from and waking him up in the process.
"Hi Mom and Dad," Haley said slowly. "I can explain."
"Sure," Lydia said rolling her eyes.
A/N- So there it is. I know it's kinda short and sorry for no Brucas. I didn't know how to fit them into this chapter. Please review!
