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.
