A.N: Hey guys! Ok I just want to clarify a couple of things. First this is not actually a SPN/OTH cross over at all. But as I "pictured" the story in my head I couldn't help to see Jared Padalecki as this character and I decided to use the name "Sam Winchester" in order for you to see him as I do J It was maybe a mistake and I'm sorry. In fact Sam is my "Jacob black" in this story. If you know what I'm talking about then it's a big spoiler if you don't well….It's much better lol.

Anyways thanks for the reviews. I hope you're going to like this chapter. You get some Nathan in it.

A special smile for my little Spider Monkey.

Chapter 23: All hail the heartbreaker

Haley was limp on Chris' sofa with a big bucket of cookie dough flavoured ice cream. She was wearing some oversize shirt and deformed sweat pants.

She put a full tablespoon of ice cream in her mouth while rolling her eyes at the ads on TV. She was really depressed today because it was the day of the Prom in Tree Hill. She pretended to be fine to not remember for as long as Chris was home, but now he was gone and he had a gig tonight. She could let her pain and frustration show freely.

She looked at the clock, which was saying 6pm which meant 10 pm in Tree Hill. She grimaced. Nathan was probably prom king by now and dancing with his hot date. She shook her head.

Stop it you sick masochistic girl! Why don't you imagine him having sex with another girl while you're at it! She added to herself sarcastically trying to concentrate her attention on the TV again where a new razor was presented. "I'm going to reveal the goddess in me!" She shouted sarcastically to the TV. "I'll be the goddess of my foot in your ass!"

"I'd like to see that," said a deep voice behind her making her jump from the sofa defensively.

"Sam what the fuck?!" Shouted Haley with anger and surprise. "How did you come in?" She asked suddenly, embarrassed by how she was standing in her horrible sweat pants and shirt full of holes, her hair like a witch and probably dry ice cream on the face. She looked at him up and down he was wearing a black tuxedo.

"Sorry…" Said Sam moving uncomfortably on his spot. "The door was open and Chris…."

"What's that for?" Asked Haley cutting him off while pointing to his tuxedo. "You're going to a tight ass party?" She asked the eyes lit with amusement. She knew Sam for a little more then a week but she felt really comfortable with him, comfortable enough to be scared by it, this closeness scared her She didn't want to hurt or get hurt.

"Dude, it's prom!!" He said with a wide smile flashing his white teeth.

"Prom?" Asked Haley really surprised by this comment. "You're 23!" She added laughing. "Are you a pervert or something?" She asked jokingly.

"You know I am!" Said Sam pretending to be serious. "No seriously…" He adjusted his tuxedo Jacket and winked. "I'm here to take you to prom."

"You're here to - What?" Asked Haley sitting on the armchair facing Sam and the door. "It ain't funny and let me tell you why. I've got no prom to go to, no dress and defiantly not the desire so…." She shook her head.

"That's where you're wrong lullaby!" Said Sam proudly. "Chris is helping out a friend by playing with his band at a prom so we can totally and lawfully crash it then. As for the outfit…" Said Sam mysteriously opening the door and bringing in a wonderful red dress. "I think I've got the solution." He added seeing both the surprise and admiration in her eyes. "As for desire to go we'll just try a bit. I'm sure you'll have fun and Chris will be happy."

Haley look at Sam with incredulity.

"I…no." she said stubbornly crossing her arms on her chest looking down.

"Come on Haley," said Sam walking to her sitting on the sofa in front of her. "You don't want to miss prom. I know I did and I regret it!" He said sincerely. "It's not your real prom so the memories won't be there and I promise, as soon as you want to leave I'll take you home…no questions asked." He added bending his head trying to meet her eyes.

Haley finally looked up again, looking as the dress while twitching her mouth with reflection. She finally looked up and looked deep into Sam's eyes. "I don't date Sam." She said seriously. "If…and I say IF I come don't expect anything of it."

Sam laughed but he couldn't help the little flash of deception to show in his eyes. "Wow, we can say you're pretty straight forward! And allow me to be honest too. There is no way that I consider a date a night with horny 18 years old teenagers while Chris is watching us!" He said seeing her blushing. "It's a friendly thing Hales. You've got nothing to lose. I always keep my promises. You just say the word and I'll bring you home I swear!" He added sincerely keeping his eyes on hers so show that he wasn't lying.

Haley sighted and looked at the dress again. It was so beautiful! She would look like a princess in this dress and Nathan was probably having fun! She was the dumped one! She had the right to have fun!. "Okay Sammy boy!" Said Haley standing up. "Gimme that dress," she said while he stood up. "I'll be ready soon," she added seriously walking head high to the bathroom.

Sam had a small laugh and sat on the sofa watching TV while waiting for Haley.

Meanwhile in Tree Hill:

Nathan looked around the room again. The evening was almost over and he thanked God for that. He didn't want to go to prom. All of this was pointless without Haley to share it with. She took his heart to Palo Alto with her and she didn't even know that.

Lucas was the one who convinced Nathan to go. He was the co-captain of the first Tree Hill team who actually won the State championship and it would probably disappoint the whole school if he were not there for the Coronation.

So, Nathan decided to pretend one more night. He was doing it since him and Haley broke up and he got pretty good at it by now. He plastered his fake cocky smile on his face and was now sitting pretending to care about what was going on. He looked at his watch for the thousandth time that night.

Come on Nate! 30 more minutes! Thought Nathan to motivate himself. He hoped that he would not be prom king so he could sneak out as soon as the announcement was made. And if he was well… He grimaced. He would quickly dance with Brooke, who would be the prom queen, before sneaking out.

Nathan instinctively looked at Brooke who was dancing with Jake, but she had her dark eyes locked on Nathan. He could clearly see that she was holding him responsible for Haley's absence and she wasn't completely wrong. Geez she hated him!

If I was prom king it would be interesting to dance with a prom queen who hated you that much! He thought ironically. This will probably be a first for Tree Hill high too! He added to himself with a sarcastic smile.

Nathan knew that Haley was 3000 miles away but he couldn't help to look at the door in the hope to see her walk through the doors with the bright smile she used to have before he pushed her away. One day he will tell her that every minute he spent away from her was like being in Hell and that he never stopped loving her and that his heart was aching with every breath he took. It was hard from him to keep his resolutions when each time he closed his eyes it was her face he was seeing. Each time he was in his bed he could fell her frail body beside his.

Someone sat beside him and looked in the same direction.

"I'm sorry Nate, but even if you want it strongly enough it won't make her walk in." Said the person nicely, but with some coldness in their voice.

"Hey Sawyer," said Nathan trying to sound nonchalant slowly turning his face to look at her. He did it slowly in order to have the time to hide most of the sadness in his eyes. "You sure look nice." He said looking at her dress ignoring her previous affirmation.

"Thank you," she said with a small laugh who was not a happy one. "You don't look that bad yourself."

"Yeah…well…" Said Nathan with a shrug showing that he clearly didn't care if he looked nice or not. "So…Where's your man?" He asked forcing a smile.

Peyton pointed behind her, showing Lucas in a big chat with the literature teacher.

Nathan grimaced.

"I know…" Said Peyton with an honest giggle. "But that's what you get when you date a book geek!" She said with humour.

Nathan nodded.

"You of all people should know." She added without any humour in her voice anymore. "You know what being with a book worm means."

"I do…" Said Nathan with clear nostalgia in the voice. He could clearly remember how Haley was excited when she discovered new books and how he felt almost single when she discovered a book called Twilight.

"You know…." Said Peyton standing up and standing behind the chair. "There are mysteries in life that I can't understand and one of them being why two people who love each other that much and being so miserable when they are not together are so eager to loose it all." She added shaking her head.

Nathan turned his face with a flash of surprise. How much does she know? He thought worried.

"I maybe not the most outgoing or chatty person around here," she said showing him around with her left hand. "But I see things and I'll know one day why you broke her heart and I evidently know it's not a cheating story no…". She shook her head. 'I've go to give you more credit then that Scott." She added keeping her eyes on his.

Nathan was about to say something, but Peyton stopped him raising a finger.

"Don't insult me with a lie Nate." She said seriously, but there where no anger in her voice. "I should go to Lucas now, but…" she squeezed his hand resting on the back of the chair. "Just think that maybe there are too many lies around your love and it risk to really disappear for good now. Please…just think." She added before turning her back going back to Lucas not waiting for his answer.

Nathan kept staring at the door speechless he didn't even see the buzz of the crowed starting to concentrate on the dancing area. He vaguely understood that this year prom king was Lucas James.

Nathan sighed in relief and snuck out of the room. He needed air. He needed space, but he knew that deep down the only thing he really needed was Haley. His soul. His reason of being…The reason why the world was turning.

"I'm going to come clean." He said seriously. Fed up trying to fight so hard and to keep feeling that bad, a bit worse everyday. "She has to know…I can't give up on us." He added finally feeling better knowing that Haley would be back in a few days. Everything will go back the way they should be! He thought with a bright smile walking home. It's not 3000 miles, which will destroy us! He added to himself not even walking anymore. No, he was running so eager to sleep to dream of her, of the way they were going to be reunited.

Palo Alto:

Haley couldn't help, but laugh as Sam made her twirl in his arms to the rock song Chris was playing with the band.

"What was that?" Asked Sam agreeably surprise. "Is that a laugh I just heard? Miss James is having fun after all!" He added with a big smile looking at Haley.

Haley twisted her mouth and shrugged. "I guess …I am… A little…" She said with some guilt in the voice.

"You know…" Started Sam seriously. "You shouldn't feel guilty for having some fun and not hurting for a couple of hours. You're not the one who deserves the pain and…" He took a deep breath. "You need to move on with your life."

Haley looked at him with some incredulity in the eyes.

"You're going to be ok Haley…" He said nicely, but seeing her discomfort he decided to change subject. "Do you want a drink? I'm so thirsty!" He added taking her hand.

She nodded, it felt good to feel someone warm hand in hers. Sam was so nice with her. She followed him to the punch bowl.

She looked around and saw the envious glances of the girls around. She looked down. "You know everybody knows that we're crashing…" She said a bit embarrassed. "I wonder why we're still here."

"Oh Well…" Sam bent down to speak in her ear. Feeling his hot breath on her skin made her shiver.

He is not Nathan… You left your heart in Tree Hill! Don't even think about trying to heal or ease your pain with him! He deserves so much better!! She thought angry against herself.

"We did say a little lie," whispered Sam in her ear. "I'm the band manager and you're Chris little sister." He cleared his throat "But your school in Oregon burnt down and well we didn't want you to miss prom!" He added seriously finally looking at her.

She looked at him frowning thinking it was just a prank, but she burst into laugher. "You two are so coo-coo pants!! And they believed it?"

"Yep!" Said Sam standing straight with pride. "I'm a good liar!" He added before seeing a shadow passing in Haley eyes. Damn idiot! He thought.

"Yeah…you're not the only one." Said Haley in a whisper recalling how Nathan promised her always and forever.

They didn't even realize that the band was taking a break. Sam wanted to go back to the light mood they had just before he played smartass.

"Come on. Let's go back and dance." He said taking her hand again. "Those kids need to see what a non-Californian can do!" He added on a light tone.

They were almost on the dance floor when he felt Haley squeeze his hand harder and she stayed frozen on the spot. He turned around and saw her eyes filled up with tear. She was pale white. "What's going on?" he asked walking back to her putting his hands on her shoulders.

"You said I could go home whenever I want." She said closing her eyes as the tears started to fall quietly on her face. Why this song? Why now! She added to herself as Confession by Josh Groban made the couples dance slowly on the dance floor. It was this song that Nathan declared his love to her.

Sam nodded quietly and sadly, putting a hand on her back while walking her back to the car.

The drive back went in a deadly silence. Sam was giving some quick glance to Haley who was staring at the landscape through the window.

Sam parked in front of the building and slightly turned right to face Haley.

"Chris won't be back for at least two hours and… and you don't seem well," started Sam with worries in his voice. "I can stay a bit if you want."

Haley shook her head negatively. "No, it's ok…" She said, forcing a small smile.

"What…what happened back there?" Asked Sam curiously. He wanted to wait for a while before asking, but his curiosity was too strong.

Haley shrugged bending her head on the right side. "It's silly…" She said slightly embarrassed. "It's a song…He told me he needed me with that song."

Sam nodded looking in front of him. "You're going to be ok Haley." He said seriously. "Right now you think you can't face a day without him or feeling this aching deep in your heart, but it will get better." He turned his attention back on her while she was scrutinizing his face. "One day you'll wake up and your chest won't be hurting anymore or at least not as much and day after day you'll start to forget his voice, his scent, his laugh…" He gave her an awkward smile. "Till the day you'll feel whole again." He shrugged. "It's pretty sad to realize it by ourselves, but time does heal every wound."

"I know you're right, but…but it just doesn't seem close enough." She said finally deciding to confess her true feelings to him. "And I thought I was the strong type you know…" She grimaced. "And I feel a bit ashamed to confess that I would have been ready to forgive far more then I should have." She added, looking down while twisting her hands. "And anyway, I don't feel so good I think I caught some kind of virus," she added in a attempt to change subject.

"Okay…" Said Sam taking her hand. "Well, try to sleep and I'll check on you in the morning." He kissed her forehead. "You've got to trust the future…you're in a pretty dark place but I assure you the light is there...you just can't see it yet."

"Thank you Sam… It's weird, but being around you makes me feel better," she added squeezing his hand going out of the car and walking into the building.

Sam stayed parked for a couple of minutes before driving back to the prom in order to ask Chris to go home as soon as the gig was done. Haley could deny it as much as she wanted, but a broken heart healed a lot better around friends.

After his little chat with Sam, Chris came home as soon as the last song was done.

"Hales?" He asked walking in seeing the TV on. "You there?"

"Yeah…" Said Haley walking outside the bathroom pale white.

Chris quickly walked to her. "What's wrong?" He asked putting his hands on her shoulders while glancing at her slightly panicking.

"I don't think I'll be touring with you this summer." Said Haley like in a dream.

"Oh…" Said Chris wrapping his arms around her. "It's ok you need to spend time with your family and set things right before college start I understand," he said with a soft voice but frowned when he realized that Haley's arms where still hanging and he felt the moist of her tears on his shirt. He broke their hug.

"What is it Haley?" He asked locking eyes.

"I…I'm…I'm pregnant," She said showing him the pregnancy test she was holding in her right hand.
