If He said it, it's already done. "It's good to see you playing well with others." (Commissioner Gordon v.)
As Luke walked off, Haley ascended the bleachers to sit next to Nate.
"Satisfied?" she taunted.
"You have to drive the knife deeper, don't you?"
"Do I? I just risked my friendship, Nathan Scott."
"Did you? I think you came here holding all the cards, which is unfair. He risked his friendship with you. He has something to lose."
"What's that?"
"You."
"Me? You two hate each other, and you are too blind to see that I need you both in my life! You need him too, whether you deny it or not!" Haley snapped, her full
fury turning on him.
Nate laughed.
"You are definitely my alarm clock."
"Stop hitting the snooze button."
"All I can do is try." Nate gave Haley a serious somber look.
"That's all I'm asking. Who knows? Maybe you two may actually like it…"
"Then let us be us."
"What?"
"You heard me. We need time, patience, and understanding from you."
"Fine," Haley sighed. "I need time too."
"You had time!"
"Let me be me."
"Fine…"
"I forgive you Nate, but we can't be together right now. I need to know that you want to be with me for me, not for your vendetta against Luke. Sorry." She kissed
him on the cheek and descended down the bleachers.
Nate laughed. He promised to try to get along with Luke based on the possibility of him and Haley getting back together. She pressed, and would not let up. He
buckled in hopes of being with her again. Yes, she definitely held all the cards when it came to him…
