Chapter 16

After leaving Haley didn't really know where to go, Amanda's back in LA and she couldn't go and see Brooke, so she headed to Tric writing songs has always helped her in the past. As she walked through the door she saw Amanda with Chase not expecting them to be there.

"Hi Hales what's wrong" Amanda asked as she saw her best friend had been crying.

"I got into a fight with Nathan, what are you doing in Tree Hill I thought you was in LA" Haley asked as she sat down.

"I was supposed to be in LA I'm leaving tomorrow, Chase I'll come and see you later Haley needs me right now" Amanda said as she sat down she knew Haley needed someone to talk to.

"You don't have to I'll be fine, I really want to be on my own right now" Haley said she had too much to think about.

"Hales it's fine I'm not leaving you like this, what happened with Nathan" Amanda asked.

"I just can't believe it, I feel like our whole relationship has been a lie, how could he have not told me about this" Haley said she couldn't believe this was happening of all the people.

"What are you talking about Hales what did Nathan do" Amanda asked she was confused they were so happy.

"He slept with my sister, how could he do that, he had to have known this would hurt me" Haley cried she didn't know how she was going to get over this.

"What, when this makes no sense are you saying he's having an affair with your sister, I find that hard to believe, Nathan loves you" Amanda said there's just no way Nathan would cheat she knew he couldn't live without Haley again.

"He didn't exactly cheat we weren't together at the time, he told me this evening before we got together he slept around alot and then he told me he lost his virginity to my sister. He should have told me, he should have told me this years ago how could he keep this from me" Haley cried.

"I agree he should have told you sooner, but he probably didn't want to hurt you, also would you have been ok with it if he did tell you that years ago. You probably would never have given him a chance and you wouldn't be married now and you wouldn't have Angel" Amanda said hoping to get through her.

"You probably right, but my sister, I could live with the fact he slept with most of the female population of school including Brooke, but my sister that's too far. I knew since we were kids Nathan had feelings for me and yes for a long time I was scared of pursuing those feelings I felt for him too. I always regretted not saying yes sooner, he became my world so fast. From our first date I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. To find out, even though he claimed to love me all those years he could sleep with my sister, he couldn't have loved me as much as he claimed back then or he wouldn't have been able to do that he must have known that, that would hurt me, how could he have wanted to cause me that kind of pain" Haley cried she was still in shock this has happened.

"Haley he was a teenage boy who had a rough childhood, I'm not defending what he's done, but maybe he filled the void of not having you, and from what I've seen he loved you even when you were gone he could have divorced you years ago but he didn't, when you was in the hospital after the accident I got to know Nathan and he told me he could never divorce you because then it would really be over and he couldn't live without you, when you left him he accepted it as his punishment for the stuff he'd done. All he wanted all these years was for you to come home and even though he was hard on you when you first came home he knew eventually he would you let back into his life. When he found out that you left to keep him and Angel safe he felt relieved that he hadn't drove you away all those years ago. You are the only woman he's ever loved and yes I'm sure it hurts that you weren't his first but that doesn't really matter you're going to be his last. You need to go home and talk things out with your husband he's probably feeling like you're going to leave him again and I know you Haley, you can't live without him just as much as he can't live without you" Amanda said as she hugged her best friend.

"Oh god what have I done I have to go home" Haley said as she got up she felt dizzy and collapsed on the floor.

"Hales oh god are you ok" Amanda said as she rushed to her side.

After Haley left Nathan didn't really know what to do he couldn't believe the way things went this evening he felt awful for the pain he's caused his wife.

"Dad I'm sorry, I won't go out with him I don't want you and mom fighting" Angel said as she sat next to him she felt bad like it was her fault they were arguing.

"Angel it's not your fault I'm sorry about earlier sometimes I forget you're not a little girl anymore. Your mom got angry at me about something's in my past, I'm going to make things right don't worry" Nathan said as he hugged his daughter.

"That's ok dad, so what was it in your past that made mom walk out" Angel asked maybe if he talked about it she could help.

"Before I was with your mom I'd slept around a lot, it didn't mean anything, I was young and stupid. I've always loved your mom from the moment I saw her I knew she was it for me, but I was just a boy I didn't handle things well. I never thought she'd ever give me a chance and the day I realized it was never going to happen I got really drunk and I slept with Taylor. I knew I couldn't be with your mom after that so I gave up, but I couldn't live without your mom and finally she agreed to go out with me she changed me. I am who I am today because of her and I've hurt her so bad I don't know how she's ever going to forgive me. I should have told her this years ago I should never have kept my past a secret she didn't deserve that and now I think I've lost her and I don't know how I'm ever going to fix this" Nathan cried.

"Wow I don't know what to say, wow you slept with Aunt Taylor, that explains why you always snipe at each other. Poor mom, wow" Angel gasped in shock she never expected to hear that.

"I don't know what I'm going to do, I love your mom I can't live without her again, I just hope she can forgive me" Nathan cried all he wanted in this world was his wife and daughter.

"Dad, mom will be hurt, but she'll forgive you, she can't live without you either, what you have is a once in a lifetime kind of love, it may take a while but she will come back to you, you just have to make her see how much you love her and how sorry you are and everything will be perfect again" Angel said as she hugged her dad.

"I hope your right" Nathan said as he hugged her he really did have the best daughter.

"Dad I'm going to go and get some sleep, I have to meet Lilly in the morning" Angel said as she got up.

"Ok goodnight princess sleep well, I'm going to go for a walk to try and clear my head" Nathan said as he kissed his daughter on the forehead.

While Nathan was walking by the docks he heard his phone ring "Hello" Nathan said wondering who it could be at this time of night.

"Nathan it's Amanda, I'm at the hospital, it's Haley, I, we were just talking then nothing, you have to come, we're at Tree Hill Memorial please hurry they won't tell me anything" Amanda cried she needed her best friend to be ok.

"I'm on my way" Nathan said as he ran he had to stupidly leave his car at home. She had to be ok, he felt this was all his fault if his past hadn't come back to hurt her she wouldn't be in the hospital right now.
