AN: scottjames23, i was thinking about changing the point of view. i just dont know when i'll do it.
thanks for the reviews. this is my first fanfic ever and i really appreciate the reviews. so let me know it you like it or not.
Thud, thud, thud that's what I heard when I woke up the next morning. I walked to my window and saw that Nathan was outside playing basketball by himself. I decided to wait until he came inside to talk to talk to him. I knew that he just wanted to be alone and I definitely understood the feeling.
I got up and took a nice long relaxing shower and got ready. An hour later I was downstairs and Nathan was still playing, so I got out some eggs and made us both breakfast. Mrs. Scott left a note on the table for Nathan saying that she had a business meeting out of town and wouldn't be back till next week. Although I understood why she left, I don't think she should had left Nathan.
Nathan came in soon after I started making breakfast he got a glass of water and I gave him a smile showing that I was here for him no matter what. He just shook his head. Then it was quiet. That's basically how breakfast was quiet. I knew Nathan better than anyone in my life and I knew that if I tried to talk to him before he was ready to talk he would shut me out.
"I'm going to go take a shower" he quietly said while putting his dishes in the sink. I nodded and went to the sink and cleaned the dishes.
He came back downstairs about thirty minutes later and sat down in the family room on the couch and turned the TV on to a basketball game. I sat on the other side of the couch and relaxed and closed my eyes.
"I'm glad you're here Haley"
His voice made me jump and my eyes quickly opened. "Me too."
"You know my dad's always been an ass, whether it's been yelling at my mom or pushing me to hard. But I never expected him to leave us. I mean Haley he left us. I have no idea where he is."
"Have you tried calling him?"
"That's the thing Haley; I don't care where he is."
"Are you sure Nathan I mean he is still your dad."
"But he left me what kind of father leaves their child. I mean I know the sad thing is it happens every day to kids all over the world. But I never expected mine to leave. As of now I want nothing to do with him"
"If that what your really want then I'll be there for you one hundred percent."
He smiled, "so about that movie night… does it still work at noon?"
"I totally forgot!" I ran upstairs and grabbed two blankets. While he went into the kitchen and made popcorn.
I had just gotten back to the family room when he came in with popcorn. He sat down first and then motioned for me to sit next to him and I laid my head on his shoulder. It was definitely a good part of having Nathan Scott as a best friend. I always had a pillow.
Nathan was looking through movies on on demand and I must have fallen asleep. I woke up and Nathan was asleep too. The clock read 4:30. I felt energized so I decided to call my mom.
"Hey mom its Haley…"
"Haley you know the daughter you left in tree hill…"
"So I've been thinking about this whole arranged marriage thing."
"Yeah and I was wondering if I got a say in this?"
"You know cause it's my life, you don't just get to auction it off."
"So what happens when I'm eighteen? I could just leave."
"Oh yeah I could."
"What happened if I wanted to fall in love?"
"What makes you think I'm going to fall in love with this complete stranger?"
"Mom it's my life I just want to live it how I want to. Why can't you just respect that?"
"Fine I'll call you some other time." I said and slammed my phone shut.
I went inside and turned off the TV, and put the popcorn bowl in the sink. I covered Nathan up more with his blanket while. I began folding my blanket when Nathans eyes opened.
"Are you still tired?"he questioned
"Kinda"
"Then lay back down."
"Nathan I still have to do all my homework and Brookes probably going to call later to go over some cheers and--"
"Reality can wait, please Haley right now I just need my best friend."
"Well when you put it that way…" I said while laying back down on the couch his arm draped over me and my head rested on his shoulder. We stayed like that until the next morning.
