Finding Our Future Chapter 27
"I don't understand Hales,"
"Don't play dumb Nathan, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's Haley, you can't call me Hales when I'm mad at you,"
"Haley, come on I did a lot of stupid things in my past."
"Well think a little bit harder Nathan. What's one thing you possible could have done that's going to make me feel this vulnerable around you?." She spoke finally looking over at him.
"Haley the things we did in the past don't matter. It's about now and our future together. That's what matters to me", he spoke trying to walk closer to her.
"That's all very sweet of you Nathan, but coming from my past with hardly any previous relationships, this matters to me. Can't you understand that?"
"I'm sorry", he spoke looking back at a very broken and vulnerable version of his girlfriend.
"You need to go,"
"Why? We need to talk and get this sorted out between us. I love you and I'm not going anywhere right now."
"Nathan if you don't even know what you're saying sorry for, then I don't want you here." She spoke lifting his gym bag and handing it to him.
"Haley, please don't do this," he spoke taking his bag from her.
"Look, I'm not breaking up with you or anything. I just think it's better if we put a little space between us right now,"
"Okay," he spoke softly before leaving her standing in the bedroom alone.

Once Haley heard him closing the front door; she got herself changed into some comfy PJ's, and got back into bed.
She tried drifting off to sleep but every time she tried, she had visions of Brooke and Nathan together.
"Hey sis", Quinn spoke picking up her phone.
"Quinn," she whispered softly holding back the tears.
"Haley Bob, what's wrong?" She asked hearing the sadness in her sister's voice.
"Brooke...and...um...Nathan made a sex tape,"
"What again?" She questioned nearly shouting down the phone.
"No Quinn, 7 years maybe 8 years ago now. Back when we were in high school. You knew about that?"
"Well yes, come on everyone knew about that Haley Bob. It's nothing to be upset about."
"Seriously Quinn. I think I have every right to be upset about this and why didn't you ever tell me? No I didn't know anything about it."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. How did you find out about it anyways? Since you said you didn't know about it or remember it being talked about."
"Brooke accidentally let it slip when I was talking with her earlier."
"What did she say on the matter?"
"I didn't really give her a chance to explain. I had so many emotions hit me at once. I just needed to take myself away from the conversation."
"What about Nathan?"
"I told him to come here after his practice, which he did and I was in the shower. So he thought it would be a good idea to surprise me and join in. If Brooke hadn't of let it slip, we probably would have went further with things. I put a stop to it and then said I knew what had happened between him and Brooke."
"What did he have to say to that?"
"First he said that he didn't know what I was talking about. Then he went on to say that things that happened in the past don't matter now, and it's about what happens in the future, and that he loves me."
"In a way he does have a point Haley Bob," she commented trying to reason with her.
"I really want to agree with you on that Quinn. I want Nathan to be a guy that will own up to his mistakes and take responsibility for his actions."
"Okay well then he is the person you need to say all that to, not me Haley Bob."
"Thanks, would you mind not talking to clay about this please,"
"Sure thing, good luck."

Having not actually left Haley's, Nathan paced up and down the kitchen trying to figure out what had made Haley react the way she did. So he decided to call the one person who could maybe shed some light on the situation.
"Nathan, I'm so sorry." Brooke spoke when she saw that Nathan was calling her.
"It's okay, Brooke. I just need you to tell me what happened."
"Okay, well Haley called to tell me about your date, and she explained how you explored certain parts of her body sexually. Then I..."
"What did you say Brooke?"
"Um I may have brought up the championship night."
"What does that have to do with my relationship with Haley? We weren't together back then."
"You may not have been together back then, but you are very much now, and she has very little sexual experience to go along with that."
"I still don't understand Brooke,"
"Nathan, come on. What did we do that night as two very drunk teenagers that might cause Haley to feel insecure about being sexually intimate with you?"
"Shit..the fucking sex tape. Brooke how could you that one slip?" He asked feeling the rage run through his body.
"Nathan it was an accident. The same way what we did was a mistake."
"Brooke, we haven't even had a chance to have that talk yet."
"Well I think it's something you need to do if you want to keep Haley and protect her heart in all of this."
"Okay, thank you for talking to me."
"No problem. I'm really sorry that I said anything at all in the first place,"
"That's not your fault. I should have brought up the talk before letting my sexual desires rule my mind."
"Nathan, Haley is the one that needs to hear this not me. Go fix your mistake before it's too late," she spoke before hanging up.
"I thought I told you to leave?" Haley spoke from the hallway looking at him.
"You did"
"Why haven't you then?" She spoke folding her arms over herself.
"We need to talk and sort this out. Please Haley I'm really sorry," he replied literally pleading with her.
"Yeah I heard you talking to Brooke." She spoke finally making eye contact with him.
"Oh, well can we please talk?"
"Nathan, do you even know what you're saying sorry for or did Brooke have to tell you?"
"No I worked it out for myself. She just pointed me in the right direction. I truly am sorry Haley," he spoke walking a little closer to her.
"Okay let's talk then."
