First Time

Haley was looking through a box of pictures from her past. She saw a picture of herself with Brooke and Lucas at the county fair from a few years back.

She smiled as she remembered that day….

"Haley come on they're just clowns!!" Brooke laughed at her best friend.

"No they are not just clowns they are creepy people dressed in creepy costumes!!" Haley said.

Lucas pulled Brooke aside… " Brooke didn't I tell you that Haley hates clowns?"

"No I am afraid you left that out Broody." Brooke slapped him beside the head.

That was a fun day minus the clowns.

Haley then stumbled upon a picture of Nathan. It brought a smile to her face when she remembered the day when she first met Nathan….

" Mom…I'm hanging out with Lucas today!" Haley yelled from the front door.

"Okay Haley-bob see you later"

Haley met Lucas at the River court.

"Hey buddy…" Haley said as she gave Lucas a big bear hug.

" So what are we do…Nathan?" Haley said surprised she knew Lucas and Nathan were brothers and hung out sometimes and she knew Nathan was known as the jack ass Scott brother yet she never really met him.

" Oh Haley is that okay if Nathan hangs out with us tonight?" Lucas asked.

"Sure" Haley said.

A few hours later

Lucas and Nathan were laughing as Haley threw the basketball.

"Guyssss come on that is not fair I told you I couldn't play!!!" Haley exclaimed.

Nathan laughed, "Wow Hales I knew you weren't the best at basketball but come on I thought you were better than that."

Haley slighty blushed as he used her nickname. Then she came back to reality and smack Nathan on the shoulder.

"Ha Ha funny" Haley said sarcastically.

Lucas' cell rang

"Yeah?...okay…I'll be there.."

"Hey Guys I got to go I have to meet my mom at the Café." Lucas said.

"Oh do you want us to come with you?" Haley asked gently kind of hoping that Lucas would say yes.

"No you guys hang out."

"o okay" Nathan and Haley said at the same time.

Haley and Nathan talked for a few hours.

"Wow it's getting late…I didn't realize the time." Nathan said as he looked at his watch it was quarter to 10:00.

"Yeah I should be getting home" Haley said.

"Okay come on…" Nathan said as he got up.

"Wait what.."Haley said.

"I am giving you a ride home." Nathan said.

"I can walk I only live a few blocks away…" Haley said.

"Don't worry about it it's getting kind of chilly anyways…" Nathan said.

"Fine…" Haley gave in …this boy had some affect on her.

8 months ago( this is 8 months from the present time)

There was a big party at Tim's house. Haley was going out with this guy named Chris Keller. He was a musician with charming ways. Nathan was going out with Rachel Gatina Miss. Captain of the Tree Hill Ravens. Haley and Nathan were pretty good friends.

Haley was walking into the kitchen when she saw her two favorite brothers."Lucas…Nathan!!!" Haley shouted.

"Hey Hales" Nathan said.

"Well do you have a drink for me or are you just going to stand there?" Haley smirked.

"Of Course…" Nathan smiled.

Chris walked over to Haley. "Do you want to dance?" Chris said in her ear.

"Um not right now is that okay?" Haley asked.

"Yeah whatever" Chris said as he walked away.

A few hours later

"Hey Luke have you seen Chris?" Haley asked.

"No sorry" Lucas said.

Haley walked around the house. She decided to give up. She had a lot to drink and didn't feel like looking every where for her boyfriend so she decided to go upstairs to lay down and get some rest. She walked up the stairs and opened the nearest bedroom door.

What was happening right in front of her brought tears to her eyes. Chris, her boyfriend, having sex with some girl.

"Oh my god I …I …" Haley was gasping for air.

"Oh … Haley…um…yeah well you didn't want to dance so I found myself someone to do a little more than dancing with.." Chris smirked.

Haley had tears in her eyes, "How could you do this? Is it because I haven't slept with you yet?"

"Pretty much and you are not that pretty" Chris said with his evil smirk.

Haley cried.. "Well I'm done with this we are over!"

Haley turned around and ran down stairs crying. She couldn't believe this actually happened. She had to get away.

Nathan saw her, "Hales! Wait" He ran after her.

When he reached her he grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.

"Nathan not right now I have to go" Haley cried.

"Oh my god Haley what happened?" Nathan asked. He looked at Haley she looked sad and broken.

"I…I …I …just want to go home…" Haley barely got out as tears were still streaming down her face.

"Hales you've been drinking and are very emotional right now come on let me take you to my house for the night okay?" Nathan said gently.

"Ok…" Haley whispered.

They drove up the Scott driveway. Nathan looked at Haley. She was staring out the window.

"Hales are you ready to go inside?"

"Um sure…will your parents mind?"

"No they are gone for the weekend come on I'll set you up in a guest room ok?"

"Okay"

Haley and Nathan walked upstairs. He opened his bedroom door.

"You can actually have my bedroom tonight so make yourself comfortable." Nathan said as he rubbed Haley's back.

He got out some clothes for Haley to change into. He handed them to her. "Why don't you go into the bathroom and change okay?"

"Yeah…" Haley said as she took the clothes from him and went to the bathroom to change.

Nathan was sitting on his bed wondering what had happened to Haley. Haley had become one of his best friends over the past few months. He cared deeply about her and hated to see her cry.

Haley walked out of the bathroom with red puffy eyes.

"So are you ready to talk about it yet?" Nathan asked with a concerned look in his eyes.

"Not really"

"Hales" He rubbed her thigh "you are going to have to talk about it sometime…"

"I was looking for Chris and I …I couldn't find him so I decided to just go lay down cuz I had been drinking and was tired so I went upstairs and opened the door to the first room and I …I saw..um…" Haley started to choke up tears falling from her eyes. "Chris..he..he was having se…sex with some girl…" The tears started to flow.

"I was so shocked and he said that because I said no to him earlier about dancing with him that he found someone else. I screamed at him. I asked if it had anything to do with me not sleeping with him yet and said yes and he called me ugly…" Haley gasped.

"Oh…Haley come here…" Nathan said as he pulled her into his arms.

"Haley don't cry. You shouldn't blame yourself over something you had no control over. Obviously this jackass didn't appreciate the greatness that came into his life..." Nathan said. He lightly touched Haley's chin and turned it toward him. "And about you being ugly Chris must have been blind cuz you are not ugly you are beautiful." Nathan's lips grazed Haley's forehead.

Haley looked directly into Nathan's blue eyes. "Do you really mean that?" she choked out.

"Every word…" Nathan said.

Nathan started to get up.

"Nathan..?"

"Yeah..?"

"Can you stay with me tonight?"

"Sure" Nathan said.

Nathan took off his shoes and slipped off his shirt and pants. He sat on the bed and lay right next to Haley.

"Maybe I'm just the girl guys use…or the girl that guys don't find attractive and never want to have sex with." Haley said barely above a whisper.

Nathan brought Haley closer to him and wrapped his arms around her.

"Hales don't say that…It's not true."

"Is it?"

"No it isn't you are beautiful Haley. You are an amazing person and have a wonderful heart. And believe me you turn guys on…" Nathan laughed the last part.

That brought a small and frail smile to Haley's face.

"Maybe if I just slept with him then I wouldn't be here crying and looking like a baby…"

"Hales you always said how important sex is to you. So no if you are going to blame this on anyone blame it on Chris because he obviously didn't care enough about you." Nathan said with a little edge to his voice.

"Do you care about me?" Haley asked weakly.

"…of course" Nathan said seriously.

Haley leaned in and tenderly kissed him on the lips. "Thank you" she whispered. She then kissed him again.

Nathan pulled a way, "Hales I've been drinking and so have you…"

"Nathan I know…this means nothing but it's what I need right now!" Haley pleaded.

Nathan gave in and kissed Haley back. They were kissing and before you knew it they were stripping off their clothes.

A tear escaped Haley's eye as she remembered their first time. Even though it was such a heartbreaking moment for her, she wouldn't take back any of it because that was the moment that brought her and Nathan together.

Nathan walked into the bedroom, "Hey Hales ….what's wrong?"

"Oh nothing…just remembering our first time." She smiled and rubbed her stomach that had a very little bump.

"Yeah that was a great night wasn't it?" Nathan said as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck.

"I wouldn't take that night back for anything." Nathan said. "Even though we were both a little drunk, you were heartbroken, and we were just friends."

"Me either." Haley looked at Nathan and smiled.
