A/N: I know it has been awhile since my last update. I wasn't completely sure where to go from this point on. I was at work the other day and a couple of ideas popped into my head. So hopefully you will like them. Here is your next chapter.
Haley followed Nathan into the house with Liz right behind her.
"You don't need to be here for this." Haley snapped at Liz
"I'm just here to get my daughter so she doesn't hear everything that is being said." Liz walked into the kitchen to get Jaiden.
"Nathan let's talk about this." Haley tried to reason with Nathan
"Haley why is it that we always have to figure things out. All our relationship has been based on is lies and secrets, then trying to figure it out. Maybe we should have gotten the annulment when we had the chance."
"You don't mean that."
"Yeah I think that I do."
The couple looked at each other for a moment.
"Sorry to interrupted but were leaving." Liz said
"I will come get to tomorrow for the game. Just have her ready." Nathan said to Liz. She nodded and left the house.
"Haley why didn't you tell me."
"I didn't want to risk our marriage."
"That sounds familiar."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just loved you too much to say anything to you. I thought by hiding it I could come home and things would go back to normal with us."
"Things were never normal between us Hales. Maybe we aren't suppose to be together."
"Don't say that!" Haley almost yelled. "We are suppose to be together."
"Haley we both cheated on each other. I got a kid out of the deal and you had a pregnancy scare with a guy that has always gotten in the way of us. If those aren't signs then I don't know what is."
"Fine Nathan, if you don't want to be with me anymore then just walk out that door. Your good at that."
"I want to be with you but you make it difficult."
"I make it difficult, you lied to me about your past."
"SO DID YOU!"
"I wanted to…I…" Haley's voiced cracked as tears ran down her face. She composed herself then continued.
"We got married to young. That was a mistake. I wont lie to you anymore. I had feelings for Chris when I was on tour. Being with him made me feel good. He understood me in a way that you didn't." Haley tried to explain. Nathan was hurt. He tried not to believe what he just heard.
"I gave up everything for you. I put my dreams on hold so you could have yours. I'm sorry that I didn't understand when you left but I never stopped loving you. I never have. My relationship with Liz was to try and hide my pain from you. When I was with her all I thought about was you." Nathan went to walk out of the house but stopped.
"I don't want to walk out on you again Haley. I want to make this work if you want too." Haley looked Nathan in the eyes and hesitated answering.
Liz walked in the café to get coffee. She wasn't sure how Nathan and Haley were going to work this out but she knew that in the end they would. Jaiden saw Peyton and Brooke at a booth and ran over to them.
"hey Liz a letter came for you today." Karen said while handing Liz a letter
"For me here?" Liz asked confused.
"Yeah I found it funny too."
Liz shrugged and opened the envelope. She read the letter and almost choked on her coffee.
"What's the matter."
"It's a letter from Andy."
"Andy?" Karen grabbed the letter from Liz
"With a check for $5000."
"What!"
"I can't believe this. It's so random. I knew that Andy liked me but not this much. Good thing you're kept it contact with him."
"I haven't." Karen said still reading the letter.
"Excuse me."
"I haven't talk to Andy since the day we broke up."
"Well somebody has been talking to him."
She walked over to the booth with Peyton and Brooke and sat down.
"Jake move in with you yet." Liz asked Peyton
"No he bought his own house."
"Well if you guys need a date night I would watch Jenny. I'm sure Jaiden would love somebody her own age to play with."
"Thanks that sounds great. I will let Jake know." They continued to talk until the café closed.
A/n: Short chapter. It's not my best work. I just needed something to get me to the next chapter. A preview: It's the big game of the year. The Ravens play their rival. Nathan is under a lot of stress with his relationship and the game. The person that ripped NALEY apart will be the person to bring them closer together. Brooke convinces Liz to go on a blind date. I promise you the next chapter will be longer and better written. Be nice with your reviews. If you have any questions just ask. Liz
