Chapter 12.

Always...

I finally decided to leave. Obviously, it wasn't my place, even if I wanted so much to be there. Seeing the fathers with their sons, playing, laughing around me gave me a heavy heart. I left, going to my car, without looking behind me. I heard my own voice echoed in my head repeating "jerk". Yes I was a jerk, a stupid guy who wasn't able to keep a promise. I opened my car door when I heard my name.
"Nate!" I turned. Haley was standing not far away from me.
"I better go." She nodded.
"You know... let him a little time... I'll be okay."
"Yeah... I hope." Haley moved to me and took my hand. I shivered when her skin touched mine. I couldn't help to look at her chocolate eyes.
"Nate... He's your son. It's gonna be okay."
Automatically, I bent over her and put a kiss on her forehead. "Thanks." I whispered before get into the car.

I didn't want to go home but I've to. I've to tell everything right now. I couldn't keep it longer for me. My cell phone had already rung five times. I knew it was Sarah. I parked the car. Everything was off. I came in and went to the bedroom, silently. Sarah was lying in the bed, turning her back to the door. I closed the door, lit on.Sarah turned surprised. She sat up. "Nathan? Where the hell were you?"
"I've something to tell you." I paused. "I've a son."
"What?"
"You heard me. I've a son. His name is Tyler and he's ten."
"When did you learn it?"
"3 weeks ago. Since I began to work at the primary school."
"You lied me?" Shes stood up.
"Yes." No lies anymore. All the truth even if it can hurt her. "And..."
"And?"
"I see my ex-wife again." Ex-wife... it also was a thing I hadn't controlled. I lost the control of my life... of my acts... for ten years... I had the impression to just wake up from a nightmare and to be lost, controlling nothing... at all... anymore.
"The woman on the picture..."
"Haley." Yes.. Haley...
"It's the reason why we don't talk about marriage?"
"No. I don't talk about marriage because I don't want to marry again. At least for the moment." The silence settled. Sarah moved to me and hugged me.
"I love you Nathan... Never mind if you lied me. I forgive you." Inside of me, I hoped she would be mad to me, it would be easier...
I parted. "Sorry." I opened the door and left. I felt she was looking at me but I didn't make a U-turn. For the first time, I knew what I wanted to do.

I knocked at the door. I waited for the door opened. I leant against the doorway. It opened few seconds later.
Flashback.
I was lying down on my bed. Haley was standing near. I could hear her breathe.
"...Always and forever." I heard her whispering.
"What?"
"Nothing..." She turned to go out. I didn't want her to go out even if at the same time I wanted to.
"Hales..."
She turned. "Nathan... Just... I'm so... so ... so sorry..." She came to the bed and laid down on me. My arms surrounded her waist, caressing her back. She began to kiss me. I loved her kisses. I love all of her but could I do as nothing happened? Could I?
"Haley... I can't do this. Sorry. I need you to go, right.." She sat up. Sadness was on her face.
"Please." I continued.
The silence settled for a while then she said.
"I understand... if you don't love me anymore..." I knew she wanted to cry. She prevented herself and I could feel it. I sat up.
Flashback.

"Always and foverer."
