"What about this one Luke? You know for the nursery?"

"But Peyton, isn't that the same one we've been looking at for an hour," Lucas whined.

"No, the last one was pastel yellow; this one is light yellow. Geez Lucas, you're such a guy…never paying attention to what I've been saying." Peyton said while rolling her eyes at her husband.

"Hey, I saw that Peyton!" Lucas said while mimicking her previous actions. He too rolled his eyes.

"So sorry." Peyton said sarcastically.

"Yeah, yeah." Lucas said dejectedly.

"Come on you big baby. Let's finish this up cuz I'm starving."

"This coming from the girl who ate two bagels with a truckload of cream cheese, a pack of bacon, sausage, and a whole Belgian waffle topped with whip cream and strawberries just an hour ago?"

"You forgot the eggs and the croissants! But, Yeah; I mean I'm eating for two here!" Peyton said defensively,

"I guess what they say it's true." Lucas said shaking his head disbelieving.

"What?"

"Pregnant women are extremely moody," Lucas said. He soon shut up after being smacked on the shoulder by his pregnant, irritated, and hungry wife.

Nathan Scott was dragged into helping Karen and his mom at the café. Honey get this, get that. Could you pick that up? Bring that here! No! Not that, Put that back! These words all rang through his ears all morning. As he was moving the last box, the entrance bell rang.

"Hey, Karen! What does a person gotta do to get some coffee here?"

And there in front of him stood Haley, the girl of his dreams, who left him again after their second wedding to go on tour with Chris. Nathan dropped the box and said,

"Well, well well. How should we know what a person gotta do to get coffee? We're simpletons, right? We're not some rich fancy rock star!" Nathan said sarcastically with a malicious grin on his face.

Haley's mouth dropped open in shock to see Nathan, there right in front of her.

"That's now that I meant," Haley stuttered while cautiously and inconspicuously shuffling closer to the door so she could escape from Nathan's piercing gaze.

"Oh! Well, I'm so sorry. I guess I misunderstood; you know me and my small brain." Nathan still had the malevolent smirk on his face. "I guess you think you're too smart for this small town?"

"Why are you acting like this Nate?" Haley asked with concern evident on her face.

"STOP! Don't call me Nate. Only people I care about can call me that. You know, like my family and my friends. You lost that privilege when you left. However, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and when you came back; I gave it back to you. But then, you left again for the second time. Trying to escape again?" Nathan said seeing Haley's hand on the exit handle.

"Why are you like this?"

"Why am I like what?" he spat out bitterly.

"Harsh, bitter, angry..."

"Oh? Really? Why? Don't like the new me?"

"No, I don't. I miss the man who always had a smile on his face, the man who wrote me those love letters and hid them under my pillow, the man who-"

"You left. You made me this way Haley. I'm cold, harsh, and bitter because of you."

"Nathan, even though I left, you were always on my mind. I never stopped thinking about you or our love, or even our marriage. I never wanted to hurt you; I just wanted-"

"To see the world right? I'm not stupid, Haley. You wanted to see it from Keller's bed, am I right?"

"NO! Of course NOT!" Haley started sobbing.

"Hmm...imagine my surprise, when I come home with a smile on my face because I was so eager to see my wife and what do I get, I find a note that says, I love you, but I left to go on tour again. I'm not happy; I want to see the world." Nathan said with pain evident in his eyes. "Ha! Yeah, right."

"I wanted to make something of myself. I wanted to see if I could be someone other than tutor girl. You made me feel important and special. And because of that, I love you more than life itself. You made me believe in myself; that I was capable of doing something other than study. I wanted to come back home, but I needed to see the life out of Tree Hill. I needed to do that so that I could be at peace with myself. The idea kept wrestling inside my mind. God, I love you so much Nathan. Don't doubt that. It's still me, Nathan. You're Hales, Your Haley. Just because I left doesn't mean we can't be together."

"But it does. You left and you hurt me bad. You should've told me about all these dreams and goals. Even how you were feeling. This is something, I can't just let go and forget. Not a single phone call!"

"What? Just because I went and did something for myself? Just because I wanted to follow my dream?"

"No! Seeing you on TV saying your name was Haley James and not Haley Scott. Hearing that you were living with Chris Keller and that you were even working with him!"

"You saw that?"

"Of course I saw that! When I saw you smiling on national TV without caring about the people you left and hurt, I never thought I was capable of hating someone as much as I hated you. I never thought I could hate someone like that!"

"Nathan…"

"No! I mean it Haley. I never thought a person could have that much anger. I didn't know I had that in me.

By now Haley was sobbing her heart out. Here eyes were red and puffy and she was having a little hard time breathing.

"I'm so sorry Nathan. Please, I wish I could take it back!" she sobbed out.

"I'm sorry too Haley, but I can't forgive you. Good bye." Nathan blinked away the tears forming in his eyes. "You have to go now Haley."

"Please. Give me one more chance"

"I can't. I'm all out of chances."
