Chapter 16.
Go and take care. These words echoed in his head. He walked up and down outside. He realized he was still in Haley's garden. Haley opened the picture window and walked to him. She put her hands on his arms to make him stop walking. "Nate..."
He looked at her.
"I'm afraid... and at the same time... I don't understand what's happening."
"I know... I felt the same thing when I found out I was pregnant." She paused and led Nathan to the bench. She still kept his hand in hers.
"I think... you don't have to leave her... I mean... I would like any women live what I lived... I was alone all my pregnancy. There were my parents and Lucas. But it was the same thing. You weren't there. Sarah loves you... maybe you don't anymore but... she is expecting your baby... and... you've to live this too. You've the right and the duty to live this."
Her words stabbed him. "All I want is..."
"I know..." She knew it was her he wanted but... did she have the right to take him and let him leave Sarah and his baby? No. She didn't have the right. Even if she wanted to be with him. Even if she loved him. "I know... I think you should talk to her... and think about all of these."
He bent over to kiss her, but Haley turned her head. It hurt her, but she couldn't interfere in his life again and break his relationship with Sarah.
"Go away... Nate... Please..."
Nathan put his forehead on her shoulder. She felt his breathe on her skin.
"I don't want to leave you again..."
Haley felt a tear increased in her eye. "Please... Do it for me..."
Nathan raised up. "You want I to be with Sarah... for you.."
"I don't want you to give up your baby... I want you to know your son. You didn't have the chance to know Tyler... To see him grow up... Don't miss it again." Haley did her best to not cry and to convince her. "Now.. go." He didn't move. "Go away, Nate." She said again, loudly. He stood up. Haley didn't move.
"Always and forever... does it still mean something... if when we found out each other again we've to quit... again...?"
Haley took a deep breathe. He sighed seeing she didn't answer. He left. Haley began to cry.
Sarah was walking up and down next to her car on the parking waiting for someone. Another car parked and Dan went out of it.
"Good night, Sarah."
"I told me."
"How did he react?"
"He left." She stared at him. "It was a great idea, Dan."
"He went to see her..."
"Of course."
"I'll come back. I went to talk to her." Dan smiled mischievously. "You know... I've a power on my ex daughter in law... it worked ten years ago... It'll work again..."
"You seem to be convinced."
"I am. Haley is a nice person... a very nice person. She hates when the others suffer because of her... you're suffering because of her... as Nathan is leaving you..."
A smile appeared on Sarah's face. "Great."
"Go home... I'm going to Tree Hill... We'll see each other at the Baby's party." He said laughing.
"Yeah. I think so."
Nathan went out of Haley's house, when he saw Tyler crossing the street. Tyler stopped in front of Nathan. "You're leaving?"
"Yeah..."
Nathan opened his car door. "I'm sorry." Nathan looked at Tyler in eyes. He had the impression to look at himself in a mirror.
"It's my fault... All my fault..." Nathan closed the door and knelt in front of Tyler.
"You know... What happened before don't have to be an importance. We've to think about the future."
"I agree."
"Fine. I want to spend more time with you..."
Tyler nodded. "Me too."
Nathan hugged Tyler. "See you."
Nathan got into his car. "See you Daddy." Nathan smiled and started.
He drove, he didn't know where he went. He just need to drive. Haley? Sarah? He loved Haley. He knew... but he didn't want to miss this again...
Flashback
Nathan went out of the taxi. He looked at the Scott manor. He sighed. He was back in real life. With his problems and his family. Family? He wondered if Haley was still here... Haley? He came in the house.
"Mom!? I'm here!"
Deb appeared smiling.
"Nate!" They hugged. "I'm so happy you here again, buddy!"
"Me too." He paused. "What happened since my departure?"
Deb lowered her head. Nathan guessed.
"I'm sorry, Nathan..."
She was left again. "Don't worry mom."
"You know... She was very... sad... She left three weeks ago."
"Mom. I said. Don't worry." He didn't want to know. Nothing. He grabbed his bag and went to his bedroom.
Flashback
Leave Haley again? He couldn't. It was impossible. He couldn't leave her. In another hand, he couldn't leave Sarah... he didn't want to do like Dan did with Karen when she was pregnant. He took a deep breathe and went home.
Nathan came in the house. He noticed a light in the bedroom. He went there and saw Sarah sitting on the bed.
"You were with her..."
"It's not your business."
She stood up. "Not my business?"
"Sarah don't begin this conversation."
"Why did you stay with me... all these years... whereas... you knew it was her you loved?"
"I didn't know anymore."
"Your father told everything. She left you.." Nathan raised his hand. "She didn't leave me! She came back and I left her. And don't listen to my father!"
Sarah laughed, nervously. "I love you... and it hurts so much."
Nathan lowered his head. "You can stay here... I want to raise this child. I want to live this pregnancy with you. But not as a pairing. "
"What?"
"You can sleep in the guest room, but not here."
She nodded. "Okay..."
"You agree?"
"I am... I understand you need time."
She smiled and went out. Now she was smiling proudly. Little by little she would do everything to make Nathan back. And she would succeed.
Nathan sighed. He put a cd on and stretched out on his bed, looking at the ceiling.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Haley looked into Tyler's bedroom. He was sleeping, peacefully. She smiled. She closed the door and went to her bedroom. She opened her locker and took the box, opened it and took the velvet box. She caressed the ring which was inside. She took it and put it on her finger. She smiled and put it into the box again. She put away the box and put on a cd. She went to stretch out on her bed, looking at the ceiling.
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
Then she closed her eyes.
