My name is Nathan Scott.
They say that you can sum up your life in one sentence. That not every moment, not every song nor every walk you took under the stars that mattered so much at the time, counts in the end. That maybe the biggest part of your life becomes your life as you lie there breathing in your last.
But I would not know. I have never died. At least not in the original sense of the word. My body has been replaced and I may have been lost for years at a time but my heart and soul were always intact. My heart might have broke and my soul ripped but they survived the years like my love.
I believe that the little bumps in your life and the bruises you get are just part of your destiny…that they hurt you for a reason…because they bring you to the moment you've been waiting for all your life. I've suffered more than anyone would think possible for my suffering came from within and lasted more than several lifetimes. But I would not exchange my life for any other. I would not have preferred to live with millions or be famous or any other human fantasy than have seduced mankind from the dawn of time.
They say that your life can be summed up in one sentence. That nothing matters in the end expect the one thing you've always loved, the one thing that has always been in your mind. That the little playground you used to play in as a child, that the school bully you used to be terrified of, that the stupid promotion you got and the friends you had…all fade into the background as the one thing shines like a light as you're filled with darkness.
And even I, who have lived longer than anyone else, even I can sum up my life in one sentence.
My name is Nathan Scott, and I'm in love with Haley James.
