Thanks to everyone who commented I really appreciate it because I have not written anything in a very long time so I love to heard feedback. Thanks to OTH.daddy'sgurl.06, Natz95 I agree with you about not being to fond of Rachel lol, Lorilozz I promise Haley will enter the picture very soon, and deepdesire23 thanks for the suggestion I'm going to use them from now on I hope that makes it easier to understand.

"Just because we have been dating for the past three years does not mean that when it comes of matters of the heart I can just look past it. I need you to tell me the truth, Nathan do you love me?"

Nathan raises his head and looks at her but just before he begins to answer he takes a second to think how he is going to answer this question that should be so easy. He knows that all she wants to hear is of course I love you but is that how he really feels and is how he truly feels more important than making her happy? Nathan soon returns his gaze to the floor and responds.

"Rachel you know...

"Nathan before you say anything she places her hand under his chin and raises it her meet her face I need you to look at me and don't tell me what I know or what you think I want to hear."

"You know...I mean I know...I mean...yes, I love you."

Tears began to stream down her face but this time a smile comes along with it. She has been waiting for what seems like forever to hear whose three words. At that moment she is filled with joy until all of a sudden she is overwhelmed by the nagging feeling that he is not telling the truth and her smile disappears.

"I love you too and I've told you that many times but are you in love with me?"

"I just told you I loved you."

"I know you love me but are you in love with me?"

To mask his sudden realization that his feelings towards her are not what she wants them to be, he begins to get angry.

"Look I told you how I feel and ifthat's enough for you, then I'm not enough for you."

For the strangest reason the second he finishes that sentence a young girl's tear filled face appears in his head. This was the face of Haley James his ex-girlfriend/wife. All of a sudden the very similar conversation they had comes rushing back to him.

---Flashback---

NATHAN: Hey.

HALEY: You, um, said they weren't real people.

NATHAN: Haley, what are you doing?

HALEY: I'm a real person. I have feelings, I have problems, I feel
vulnerable and self-conscious and I'm just like every other person.

NATHAN: I know that.

HALEY: Well what happened to sex just being magical, and being this
amazing expression of how much you love someone? These cyber girls,
they're just like triple jointed and waxed, and always turned on, and it's just a
lie.

NATHAN: I understand that. It's just a fantasy.

HALEY: Is Peyton a fantasy, too?

NATHAN: You know, it'd be nice if a guy could have a little privacy in his
own apartment.

HALEY: I can't be Peyton for you. I can't be those girls. I just, I won't.

NATHAN: I don't want you to be.

HALEY: Are you sure about that? Because - (She takes his hand and kisses it)
I gave you my heart. That's all that I can give to you. And if that's not
enough for you, then I'm not enough for you.

---End of Flashback---

"Look Rachel we have a good thing going and I really don't want to screw it up but you have to know that in the department of declaring my love for girls I have a really hard time."

Another conversation with Haley rushes back.

---Flashback---

HALEY: Nathan, I know I'm driving you crazy.

NATHAN: No you're not.

HALEY: Do you think that I'm a tease?

NATHAN: Stop it.

HALEY: Well what do you think?

NATHAN: I think that you're my girlfriend, and I like to spend time with you. Look I just don't want to push you.

HALEY: You're not.

NATHAN: But I am. Haley, you got a tattoo for god sakes. It just freaks me out a little bit, because obviously this whole thing with us means a lot to you. I just don't want to do anything to pressure you. Or drive you away. Even though sometimes I can't help it. Just like I can't help that I fell in love with you. Cause I did. I love you, Haley. And it scares me, a little bit, but, there it is.

HALEY: Wow. There it is. (She kisses him) I love you too. (They continue to kiss)
