Chapter 4

Haley was the first to wake up the next morning. She tried to sit up but felt something was holding her down. Haley turned and found herself face to face with a sleeping Nathan. Suddenly her body tensed and relaxed at the same time and she could feel the weirdest sensation go through her whole body. She tried moving but that only caused Nathan to hug her closer to him, his touch sending million shivers thorough her body. She laid back down and knew it was useless to fight him...she would just have to wait for him to wake up.

Haley's thoughts went to her dream that she had that night. She had dreamed that they were all 16 and one night, after a basketball game, she and Nathan had gotten married. Then they shared a passionate kiss in his apartment that shook her straight out of her dream...only to wake her up and see Nathan standing near her. Haley gently shook her head. He had asked her who she had dreamt of. She could have told him the truth...told him that for the past few weeks all she wanted to do was to kiss him. Tell him that she might be falling in love with him. But she didn't...she lied to him and she hated it. It wasn't that she didn't want to tell him, she was dying to, but she had seen his wedding ring right before she was about to say...and then she knew it wasn't the right time.

"Nate...Nate...you have to wake up now." Haley whispered and Nathan frowned.

"No, me sleepy...go wake up Luke." Nathan muttered and turned around.

"Luke?" Haley asked confused.

"He has to fetch Brooke and get ready before we come. It's our wedding not his." Nathan went on, confusing Haley even more. Then he turned back around and kissed her hard and long. At first Haley didn't know how to react but she soon returned the kiss with even more passion. Nathan, who was now fully awake, realised what was going on and pulled away abruptly.

"Sorry...I must have...been dreaming..." he began.

"It's okay...don't stress about it." Haley interrupted and quickly made her way to the bathroom where she could cry.

Nathan slammed his hand, in frustration, through the glass table next to his bed. The table shattered into millions of pieces and he brought his hand up to his face. The blood smeared on his face as he cried into his hands. He took his hand away and stared at it...it was cut very badly and it was bleeding uncontrollably.

"Shit." he breathed out as he finally felt the pain coarse through his body.

Haley wiped away her final tears and stood to check her image in the mirror. Her eyes weren't that red and she decided it was time to go out. Then she heard a loud crash and her heart stopped.

"Nathan?"

No response.

"Nate!" she screamed and ran to his room.

Nathan's face was covered with blood and his hand was still bleeding all over his wife beater and blankets. Haley rushed to his side and tried to touch his hand but he pulled away...scared.

"Nate...we're going to have to get you to the hospital...it won't stop bleeding." Haley pleaded and Nathan could hear her fearful tone of voice. Nathan relaxed a little and let Haley take his hand, blood smearing over her clothes as well, and Haley looked at it carefully.

"There seems to be a huge piece of glass in there...what did you do?" Haley asked scared but Nathan couldn't answer as pain overtook him.

"Well mister Scott...your hand will be fine. I've made another appointment when I'll take out the stitches. Remember to take the pain killers." the doctor said as he finished bandaging Nathan's left hand.

"Thanks." Nathan said and the doctor left, leaving Nathan and Haley alone in the room. Nathan quickly gulped two pills and turned to Haley.

"I'm sorry that I kissed you." Nathan finally said.

"I told you it's okay." Haley answered, never admitting that all she wanted was a repeat of that morning's kisses. Haley wiped at her blood stained clothes.

"I ruined your clothes." Nathan said almost to himself.

"It's okay...I only brought this shirt cause I thought it would make me look more beautiful." Haley smiled.

"You don't need clothes to look beautiful." Nathan commented and Haley blushed. The pain killers were already taking its toll on him.

"And who would ever think that blood stained clothes could make you even more handsome." she said and Nathan lifted his eyebrow at her.

"You flirting with me?" Nathan asked a little unbelieving.

"You on pain killers?" Haley replied almost immediately and Nathan couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly Haley's face went blank as memories flooded her.

Nathan giving her the bracelet at a tutoring session.

Her parents leaving her alone in Tree Hill.

Lucas telling her something in the graveyard.

Nathan falling to the ground.

Lucas asking her if she was okay.

Making love to a man whose face she couldn't see but somehow knew it was the man she was in love with.

Haley's body crumbled to the ground and Nathan jumped off the chair and grabbed her before her head could hit the floor.

"Haley?" Nathan asked panicked.

No response.

"Somebody help me! Haley!" he yelled as tears started flowing and tears landed on her lips, sliding off one by one.
