Author's Note: I don't own any of these characters! Please read and review. This is my first story.
Nathan had not seen Haley since that fateful argument 5 years ago. He still clearly remembers the look on her face when he told her that if she left with Chris, they were over. He thought about her often, and it drove him crazy. He was an NBA superstar. Between him and Kobe Bryant the Lakers had clinched two Championship Titles, and Nathan was just getting started.
Nathan was definitely living the average man's dream. He had girls, booze, sports, fame, and money, but Nathan always felt that something was missing, and he knew that something was really someone who went by the name of Haley James. Sure they were legally married, but he had really blown it.
Haley James Scott, or Haley James as she was known by her fans, was a huge star. She had won 3 Grammy's and even had a movie in the works. She had convinced herself that the only way to get over Nathan was to throw herself into her work completely. But she wasn't fooling anyone, Brooke and Lucas knew that she still was totally in love with Nathan.
Brooke Scott was a famous fashion designer who was living with her husband of 1 year Lucas Scott. They got married right out of college and had moved to Beverly Hills. They lived next door to Haley. After Nathan and Haley split up, both Luke and Brooke had sided with her. They knew she was hurting still after all this time, and although they didn't like to admit it, they knew she needed Nathan back. That was why when Haley was invited to host the MTV Movie Awards they urged her to do it, knowing that Nathan would make an appearance with his latest fling, model Robin Banks.
"HALEY! Hurry Up! You know you have to be at the studio at 3 to do hair and makeup," Brooke shouted as she entered Haley's house.
"Coming!" yelled Haley as she grabbed Brooke's arm and pulled her out the door.
"Tutor girl, I never understood why you don't have a limo and chauffeur with all your money," Brooke inquired as Haley drove. Brooke looked at Haley's hand, she wasn't wearing her wedding ring which didn't surprise her, but she knew she always wore it around her neck on a chain. For some reason that Brooke just couldn't understand, Haley refused to let go. Little did either of them know Nathan did the exact same thing.
A couple of hours later, celebrities had begun to arrive on the red carpet and the MTV Movie Awards began. Haley had gotten Brooke and Lucas front row seats, since Brooke was eager to see her favorites like Ryan Gosling and Orlando Bloom.
"Next up is the Favorite Athlete award," announced Haley. "Yeah, yeah we know this isn't a movie, but it was added this year because of the Laker's victory in the championships this year." This comment was met with a huge round of applause.
"This year's nominees areā¦Derek Jeter, Shaquille O'Neal, Tiger Woods, and Nathan Scott," read Haley. "Nathan Scott?" She thought. "There is no way in hell he is here; I can't deal with that right now. Oh I hope he doesn't win."
Nathan looked up in surprise when he heard his name. "Fuck," he muttered, "I should have been paying attention when Tim and I discussed this last week." Nathan had been surprised to learn that Haley was hosting the awards, but he was also pleased. When he saw her walk out onto the stage, she had taken his breath away. She was even more beautiful than he remembered.
Haley slowly opened the envelope and read out the name that appeared, "The award goes to Nathan Scott."
Nathan stood up shocked and slowly walked up to the stage. Haley handed him the award and he mouthed a small hi. As he took the award from her their hands briefly touched sending sparks surging through their bodies. They walked off the stage and Panic! At the Disco took the stage to perform.
"So um, this is a surprise," Haley laughed nervously.
"Yeah."
"I better be going, I have some more awards to hand out." Haley turned to walk away.
"Nathan be a man, ask her to dinner to catch up, you know you missed her," he thought to himself. Quickly he grabbed Haley's arm. "Hey, how about we go out for drinks afterwards, I think we ought to catch up, it's be a long time." He flashed a grin at her.
Haley thought she was going to melt. Damn he was so hot. How he still had this effect on her after he had broken her heart she would never know. "Ok sure, I should be out of here by 11, if you want to meet me back here, I know a place we could go where the paparazzi won't be."
As she hurried away Nathan smiled to himself. He knew he had made some mistakes with her in the past, but he was ready to win her back. He needed her. Just then his cell rang the caller id read Robin Bush. "Shit," he mumbled. Just what he needed, his clingy date.
