AN: Hey guys so I know it's been a while. I have some bad news though. I'm starting another job (job #2) and I probably won't have too much time to be updating often. Sorry. I'm also going on vacation for 2 weeks in September. I'm going to bring my notebook with me on vacation (I'm slow and still don't have a laptop) so when I get back I'll try to type everything up and hopefully be able to post. Can't make any promises though. Hope you guys enjoy the chapter and as usual send me feedback. Thanks.

Sinfully Soulful

Haley entered her apartment later on that night. Nathan was watching a basketball game on the television. Once he heard her enter he shut off the t.v. and turned to face her.

"You okay?" He asked.

Haley only nodded. "Yeah."

"Join me?" He asked, patting the seat next to him.

Haley shook her head. "I'm just going to take a shower and then head to bed. I'm kind of tired."

Nathan nodded. "Okay."

Haley gave him a weak smile and headed to the shower.

Ten minutes later Nathan heard a loud crash come from the bathroom and the sounds of Haley crying. He was up and off the couch in a flash. "Haley!" He yelled banging on the door. When he didn't get an answer he broke the door down. "Haley!" He yelled in fear when he saw her on the floor of the bathroom, crying, the water pounding on her back.

Nathan jumped into the shower and kneeled down next to her. "Haley baby. You okay? What happened?" He asked as he pulled her into his arms.

Haley didn't answer, she just kept crying into Nathan's shirt.

Nathan grabbed her up and carried her out of the shower and into the bedroom. He dried her off with a towel then put her into her pajamas. The whole time Haley just stood their and stared off into space. He laid her down on her side of the bed and pulled the covers over her. She immediately curled up and placed her head on Nathan's pillow inhaling his lingering scent.

Nathan sighed and went to the bathroom to clean up the mess. There was water everywhere and while he was moping it up he noticed something shiny on the tile floor. Bending over and picking it up he realized it was her wedding ring. "Haley baby." He said kissing the ring and putting it in his pocket while he mopped up the rest of the bathroom.

Once he was done Nathan went into the kitchenette and called Lucas. "Luke, sorry if I woke you. I just…I don't think we should continue with the plan, she can't handle." He told his brother.

"What happened Nate? Is she okay?" Lucas asked worriedly.

"She's okay. I just…Luke call everyone and let them know to back off the plan. I'll handle this."

"You sure man?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah. I'll let you guys know if I need any help." He said before hanging up the phone.

Nathan turned to shut the tv off when he noticed the picture on the table. Their wedding picture. Nathan picked up the picture and grazed his hand over Haley's face. "I'm going to help you. I promise you." He said before placing the frame on the table and shutting the tv.

When he entered the bedroom, Haley was already asleep, half on his side and half on her own. He quickly changed clothes and placed Haley's wedding ring on his nightstand. He crawled into bed and Haley immediately clung to him. He kissed her head softly. "I love you Haley Scott." He said before falling asleep.
