Walking out into the school yard, Peyton was still pissed as hell. Sure, she had been gone for a year, but that didn't give them the right to criticize her and her marriage to Chris. And even though Haley and Peyton weren't on good terms right now, she still had a ton of respect for her and would never sleep with Nate.
Turning to Haley, she said.. "So I guess you want to know my story now, huh? Well, pull up a bench."
The three sat outside and Peyton began her story starting from the night she left, to today. She told about her marriage to Chris, and being a proud teenage mother.
There were tears and laughter as Peyton told stories about Chris and Haley in turn told Peyton some of her own. And even though at the beginning of the day Haley didn't think she would ever be able to forgive Peyton, she did, because once upon a time - Haley was the girl who left - and no matter how ignorant Peyton may have seemed at her arrival back home, she knew it was for Nathan's sake and that's what mattered, that she knew Nate had a good friend in her - and now Nate was on her side, but it looked like she needed another friend, and Haley wanted to be that friend. She knew Brooke and Lucas were going to be alot harder on Peyton which meant she would need good friends to rely on - and that was going to be her and Nate, and of course at the end of the day it would always be her husband - which was still hard to believe.
At the end of the talk - which Nate was pretty quiet through, he turned to Haley and asked - "Are you jealous?"
Peyton and Haley were both curious to where that came from and even told him so.
"I saw the look in your eyes when you were watching Peyton and her family. Don't deny it."
"Nathan, you have it all wrong. That wasn't jealousy. That was me looking deeply at them, and hoping that one day, you and I will be parents. I want nothing more than to grow old with you and have your children, not Chris Keller's, you fool!"
"Hey, I take offense to that!" Peyt said with a giggle.
"Well no offense Peyt, but you were smacking him a little over a year ago, and now you are married to him!" Haley replied with a laugh.
Nate just smiled at his two best girls now that he knew the truth.
