Chapter Three: Why Are You Reacting This Way?

Later that night

Nathan's POV

I left the house at 8:15, thinking about the song the girl had left me. It made me feel special, like I was the only guy in her world. But sadly, she isn't the only girl in my world. I have a girlfriend, well, two actually. And, a friend with benefits.

I have Rachel, my Rachel Gattina, the clingy girl who would jump through a hoop if I asked her to nicely. She's always walking around in skimpy clothes, dancing on my lap, but trust me, she's amazing in bed.

Then, Brooke Davis, known as girlfriend number two. I would so get with her, if she wasn't already my brother Lucas's fiancee. She's easy to talk to, she makes me laugh, and she has a kick ass body. The only thing is, she isn't the girl from the beach.

My friend with benefits, Peyton Sawyer, is a girl like no other. She's moody and dark, an excellent cheerleader, and my best friend since second grade. I remember she'd always say, "I would never date you, your like my brother. But I don't mind having sex with you." I'd ask, "So you'd have sex with you brother." She answered, "I already did."

Now, as I'm walking, reflecting on the three girls in my life, I'm saddened. How can I be so immature, so insensitive that I need three girls to make me happy, when one girl I haven't even met yet, already makes me jump for joy?

Haley's POV

I started walking along the docks with my cousin, Tim. He was horrible with the ladies, but he finally got a date and he asked me to come along. I don't know why though, he'll just screw it up anyways.

"Why am I coming again Tim?"

"Because, my lady is bringing a fella along and I thought you two could hang out."

"Well thanks for thinking about me Tim, but there's only guy I want to be with tonight."

Tim put his arm around my shoulder, "I know baby, but I have a date."

I threw his arm off and gave him a disgusted face, "Ewe, Tim, you're my cousin."

"So?"

"So, I'm not a hillbilly. I don't marry my cousin."

"You want to get married."

I hit him upside the head and soon we arrived at the dock.

"There she is." Tim stated, pointing his pointer finger. She was tall, skinny, with red hair and boobs that looked completely fake. She looked like a skank, but that's usually the kind of girls Tim goes for anyway.

"That's her?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, why do you think she's too good for the Tim man?"

"No, actually, I think you're too good for her."

"Excellent." he said, trying to sound like a surfer, "I'll catch ya later Hales."

With that, he left, and I was officially alone on the docks. No guy was in sight, so I figured I'd go down to the beach, maybe sit under my oak tree, and catch a glimpse of my guy. As I was walking, I realized how cold it was at the beach at night. I used my hands to cover my arms, but I kept walking, because I loved the feeling of the wind on my face, blowing my hair, and walking slowly through the sand, the feeling of it between your toes.

I kept walking, looking up occasionally, and stopped dead at what I saw.

Nathan's POV

I continued to walk down the beach, feeling really bad about what I was doing to the girls, and that's when I saw her. I thought, maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me. Maybe that I wanted her so badly, I'd give anything to see her, to have her. I rubbed my eyes, she was still there. She was staring at me, her hair blowing around her head and the sun setting behind her. She looked like an angel and I thought, 'God must love me.'

As I approached her, she started to move backwards, my heart sinking with every step she took. I wanted to talk to her, to at least know her name. As I took another step closer to broke into a run. I laughed, she couldn't run that fast, but still, she look beautiful trying to do so. I knew I would be able to catch up with her in a heartbeat so I let her get a head start, as I thought about what I was going to say to her.

'Thanks for the song, it was beautiful.' I thought out loud.

"Thanks." I heard a girl say behind me. I turned around, it was her, or so she said. She was standing there, talking to me, I could have swore that the girl I saw running was her.

"Weren't you just running away from me a second ago?"

"No, why would I run away?"the girl paused, "We're you going to try and kill me?"

I laughed, "No, I just wanted to find out your name."

"Taylor, Taylor James"

"Nathan, Nathan Scott."

Haley's POV

I knew I shouldn't be running away from him, but I knew talking to him, I would make a fool of myself. As I walked, I realized that I shouldn't be running from him. The guy was trying to talk to me, the guy of my dreams wanted to get to know me. So as I headed back in his direction I noticed something. He was there, and that put a smile on my face. But as I got closer I noticed a girl, a girl who looked strangely like me, approach him. They were laughing, she was flirting, and my heart was breaking. It reached the point of a million pieces when I saw them kissing. My face fell and my heart sunk down to stomach.

How could he do this? Just a second ago he was screaming at me to wait and now all of a sudden he had some other hussy attached to his lips. My, he was fast. I didn't know what came over me. I started running over there and noticed who the girl was.

"Taylor?" I asked shocked

"Haley?" She asked me just as shocked

"Who's Haley?" the boy asked

"My sister." Taylor answered

"The girl who also wrote you the song."I added

"I don't believe you, she did." the boy said, he seemed angry.

"Did she sing some of it to you?" I asked, my eyes welling with tears.

"No." the boy looked at my sister, "Can you?" now he seemed excited.

"I don't think I can, I don't have my guitar."

"Just sing, I know you can do it." I said, I knew Taylor could sing, just not the song, no one knew the song but me and the boy. Just as I expected, she sang a few bars of a song I was singing earlier. His face dropped and he looked saddened. I stroked his arm.

"Can you sing it?"

"Yeah, I can." I took a deep breathe and started to sing, "The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes and the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave to the dark and the end of the skies... should I sing more?"

"No, no, it's fine." A smile brightened "It is you."

"The one and only."

Before I could say anything else, he kissed me, and it felt so good.
