One Tree Hill.


Here is the 7th chapter... Tell me what you think about it. ;) Thanks for you reviews.


Nathan was on the highway going back to Stanley. He looked straight in front of him, so many thoughts travelling in his mind.

Flashback

Nathan was sitting at the table. Karen was in the kitchen, with Lucas preparing lunch. Keith came and sat in front of him.
"So... Why are you here, Nate?"
"About things... of the past..."
"About Haley?"
Nathan rolled his eyes. "You also know?"
Keith nodded. "Haley is as Lucas for me... as my niece... And Lucas can't lie me."
"Does Karen know?"
He nodded. "I was the only one don't know I've a son!"
"Nate. You've to understand. You've to remind the situation."
"You even was there, Keith."
Keith lowered his head. "Nate, don't forget you loved Haley. Your love was the strongest love I've never seen. You married her even if your parents weren't agree. You believed in her like she believed in you."
"Dad has the letters."
Keith shook his head. "Dan... It's not Haley you hurt the most... It's your father. And according me, he kept the letters away from you to keep Haley away from you."

Flashback

Nathan arrived near to Charlotte. A sign on the left shew the direction to Belmont, another on the right to Stanley. He went on the right lane.Haley went down the stairs, Mike was in the living-room. She came in the living-room.
"I can't believe yet you've been married with Nathan Scott."
She shrugged. "I was wrong..."
"What about?"
She sat on the other armchair, curling up.
"To lie to him..."
"Is it your fault if he didn't respond to you?"
"No... but..."
Mike sighed. "Maybe you were too young to marry."
"I loved him. Really loved him."
"And do you love him? I mean... still love him..."
"Probably... But it doesn't matter anymore... for him and for me."
Knock-Knock.
Haley shrugged and stood up, she went to open the door. She froze.
"Hi..."
"What are you doing here?"
Nathan lowered his head. "I would like to talk to you..."
"Talk or fight? Because if it's for fighting, you can make an U-turn."
"Hales... Just talk." She nodded. "Kay... wait for me here." She closed the door. She went to the living-room. "Can you stay with Tyler?"
"Of course, what's going on?"
"He wanna talk..." She grabbed her jacket and put it on. She opened the door but nobody. She rolled her eyes. "Unb..." She made a step then she jumped seeing Nathan sitting on the bench.
"You thought I'd left."
She nodded. "Wanna walk?" She finally asked.
He nodded and stood up. They began to walk along the street of the neighbourhood.
"Haley... I'm sorry about yesterday... I didn't know how react..."
"It's normal..." She didn't dare to look at him and she prefered looking at the road.
"It's all you wanted to say?"
"No... Haley... Lucas told me about letters..."
"Oh! Let it be. These letters were so stupid." She looked at him. He hadn't changed. His face was the same.
"I don't even know if they were stupid... I never received them."
Haley stopped, staring at him. He stopped too to look at them.
"What?"
"I think my father intercepted them."
"And my phone calls?"
He lowered his head, like a child you had just made a mistake. "It's my fault... I was scared... angry... disappointed."
"Why did we never tell him each other what we thought?"
He shrugged. They went on their walk. They remained silent walking all around the neighbourhood, then they went near to the Lake. They sat on the bench.
"Maybe we should talk... you can ask me if you have questions..." Haley said, slowly.
"When did you find out you were pregnant?"
"One or two weeks later your departure." She paused. "I didn't know what to do... so I decided to visit my parents. Then later, I decided to stay there."
The silent settled again, to break it Haley asked.
"So... you fulfiled your dream... Bobcats!"
"Yeah..."
"And... your parents? How are they?"
"My dad... still psycho-sociopath." Haley laughed. "And my mother lives in New York... in a center for alcoholists."
Haley was speechless. "Oh god.. Nathan I'm so sorry..."
"Never mind."
Haley wondered what they could talk about, after so many years... so many things happened...
"How did Tyler reacted... about this?"
"He found out ... searching in my closet. He found a box where I had put pictures of us and my ring inside." She paused. "He got angry with me... during two days...""He really looks like me..."
Haley laughed. "Oh yeah! His eyes, his faces, his way of talking, the fact he spent all his free time in front of his video games."
He smirked. "Finally... it's good he looks like me... as I'm so..."
"Not bad." She said, imitating the first time she had said to him. He smiled.
"I should go home... It's late..."
Nathan nodded. They returned to Haley's house. They arrived. Haley noticed Nathan's car.
"Very nice..."
He smirked. "Yeah..." Now, all their differences had been washed away, at least Haley hoped. Nathan went to get into his car. She went up the steps to come in the house. Then she turned, wrapping herself up in her jacket.
"Nate?"
He turned to look at her.
