I know that this is like the cheesiest thing I've ever written...and God please kill me if I do it again, but I thought they deserved a little cheesy romance after all the hell they've been through in this fic. LoL. This kind of just sums everything up and makes me feel better because this is finally done and off my chest. And I know, Nathan and country music really doesn't go...but what the hell, I love this song.

Thanks for everyone who has read and reviewed this fic, it meant so much to me. It kept me writing. I have like two new OTH fics in the brew, but I'll finish Just One Shot probably before I post both new ones. You have all been really great to me and thanx for reading!

Sorry, I didn't get to spell check!


The Wrong Kind of Wrong

Epilogue

One Month Later

"...You may kiss the bride."

The minister announced before Nathan swooped Haley in his arms and kissed the life out of her. This day had been on his mind for a month and it was finally here--finally happening. He wanted nothing more than to kiss her forever. He pulled away reluctantly while everyone cheered for them and felt his heart beat harder in his chest when he looked down at her flush face and kiss marked lips. She was so beautiful.

"I love you." She promised silently.

He quickly kissed her forehead before pulling her in another hug. "I love you more."

"...Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Scott." The minister announced.

Haley grabbed her husband's hand and walked back down the aisle with him as everyone cheered them on. Haley blushed slightly and hugged up next to him as everyone began filing out behind them, on their way to the reception. Nathan bent his head so his lips were next to her ear. "Are you happy?" He whispered.

Haley smiled up at him. "More than ever." She looked back and saw Brooke and Peyton walking behind them.

Brooke and Lucas were an exclusive item, though their physical activities had slowed down, surprisingly at the request of Brooke when she discovered that Lucas had HCM. He had told his mom, his girlfriend, the rest of his friends and Whitey, which forced him to quit the team. Whitey was trying to work out a plan that if Lucas kept up with his medicine, he might be able to play fifteen minutes of every game. It was better than nothing--right? Brooke had been scared, lost and Lucas had to struggle for her to understand that he was on his medication and that he was going to be fine. He'd started writing a book and basketball was slowly moving to the back burner of his career plan.

And Brooke had started getting her clothing line noticed. Clothes Over Bro's was rapidly becoming a popular name in Tree Hill and surrounding areas. She was beginning to think that maybe she could possibly go world-wide with it when she got out of high school.

Jake had gotten custody--full custody of Jenny. The judge caught Nikki in a series of lies and the case was easily closed. She still got visitation, but hadn't lived up to coming to any of them. Peyton had been there though, supporting him--physically and mentally, and they had embarked on a new relationship together. He was moving back to Tree Hill in a matter of days and they'd never seemed happier.

Nathan and Haley were doing great. She'd been seeing a psychiatrist every now and then though. Random nightmares of Chris Keller would haunt her, but rapidly, she'd been coping with the fact of knowing that he was gone and he would never get to hurt her--and that as sad as it was, she was lucky that he hadn't got to complete his goal of totally violating her. Some women weren't as lucky. The rumors at school still hadn't completely died, but she was going to be okay. Because she had Nathan, her rock. Her golden shoulder.

She squeezed his hand at the thought, always and forever fit them quite nicely, she decided.


Brooke smiled at Haley and Nathan from across the room before turning to Peyton, Jake and Lucas. "I think they're so perfect."

"Yeah, they're a pretty cute couple." Peyton added with a wide grin. "Who woulda thought they'd end up this in love?"

"Yeah, it was like Lucas was meant to crash into the popular world, dragging Haley along with him." Brooke stated jokingly, smirking at the glare Lucas offered her. "I never thought for a second he'd go for Tutor Girl though." She frowned at the thought. "She's just so...not slutty."

"What? Like I was?" Peyton asked, slightly offended.

"Oh, I take that back." Brooke chuckled, mentally searching for a better word. "I...she's just not that...glammy." She chose with a shrug.

"Hey, hey. Cut Haley a little slack." Lucas interfered, putting a hand up. "I never thought she'd go for Nate, either. He was a little out of her league."

"You mean, he'd had a little taste of every league at Tree Hill High." Peyton corrected with a giggle and looked to Brooke who nodded in confirmation.

"Yeah, he was pretty...promiscuous back in his day." Jake added carefully, watching the couple of topic talking with Karen.

Lucas momentarily glared until he remembered just how much his brother had changed. "Just don't tell Haley." He decided quickly. "She's got a pretty mean left hook and we'll pretty much all be on the recieving end of it if we tell her that."

Brooke rolled her eyes playfully. "She already knows. Or at least I would after I found out he boned my sister." They all laughed until they saw Haley and Nathan making their way towards them. Brooke moved up to meet them. "So, when do I get to hear this mysterious country song you've dedicated to Tutor Wife, Boy Toy?"

Nathan rolled his eyes at the recurring question--Brooke was always nosy. "Just prepare to be surprised, Brooke."

"Trust me, I already am." She reassured before looking to Haley.

"Really, man. Country?" Jake questioned his friend as the girls talked. "That's kind of..."

"You won't be saying that when you hear it." He declared self-assuredly. "Hey, I heard about the hearing. Congratulations." He shook his hand and gave him a quick hug.

"Thanks." Jake said genuinely.

"Yeah, congratulations, Jake." Haley added, hearing Nathan's words. "I'm happy Jenny's with you and not psycho-mom." She told him graciously. "You're a really great father, Jake."

Jake laughed softly. "Thanks. I'm happy, too." He told her. "And congrats to you guys, too. I got here a little late, but I got to see you two swap I do's." He told them.

"Yeah, and we got to see that tongue filled kiss too." Peyton added with a playful roll of her eyes.

"Yeah Hales, I thought I was about to have to run up there and pull you away before you choked to death." Lucas told her playfully, dodging a movement similiar to that said left hook he'd been warning them about. "Kidding, kidding." He threw his hands up in surrender.

Brooke grabbed her glass from the table and smiled brightly as she grabbed her boyfriend's arm and glanced at his wrist-watch. "It's time for toasts." She said giddily, slightly bouncing on her heels before taking off to the stage. She climbed up the stairs swiftly and stopped in front of the mic, clearing her throat and hitting a fork against her glass for attention.

"Sorry to interrupt, but it's time for a toast." She smiled brightly and let her eyes fall on her friends. "I came up here to speak words of honor for two of the best friends I've ever known," she started, smiling at them. "It's funny, because when I first started high school, Haley was just some nerd I used to see walking around," she laughed lightly as did the guests, "and Nathan was my best friend's boyfriend, the school jock...a jerk." The crowd laughed as did Brooke. "But both of them have changed so much, and not just in my eyes or the eyes of the people around them, but in their own eyes, they've changed. And it takes a lot to do that." Her voice softened with those words.

Slowly, she was growing more and more serious as she watched them in front of her. "And they didn't change to the point where they don't know who they are anymore, but to the point where they don't know how they were ever anything without the other." She smiled softly towards them. "The love they share is...strange. And it's scary because it's so real. I'm around them all the time, I can feel it. It's so scary because, it's what we all dreamed of having when we were younger. You never believe you'll actually get it, or even see it for that matter. Yet," she motioned towards them, "there it is. The love that can get through anything. The love that constantly can stand the tests of time."

She held up her glass. "To a love that will never cease," she tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, "Naley." She said and the crowd softly laughed as they cheered. "Cheers."

Lucas walked on stage and hugged her before stepping in front of the mic himself. Everyone was still clapping for Brooke until he held his glass up and then the clapping slowly died down. "Brooke, that was beautiful." He complimented his girlfriend, watching her standing to the side of him. "You know, I've known Haley my whole life and she's always had this really good judgement. No matter what, she always seemed to know when there was good in people or when there wasn't. And with Nathan, she just knew that there was something there. Something his own girlfriend at the time couldn't even see." He said jokingly, smiling. Earning a few giggles himself.

"But who knew that what she did see was something so pure and innocent--especially coming from Nathan." A low chuckle rumbled over the crowd. "She saw something in him that doesn't really exist in a lot of people. The ability to love completely and utterly--to fall so deep in love that there's never a bottom or an end. She saw the potential in him, he saw that in her and they just...went for it without any regrets. Without ever looking back. Creating this love that seems so surreal. So...fairytale." He paused briefly to smile proudly at the couple. "When it's really just rare." His eyes narrowed thoughtfully at them as he raised his cup. "To a love that we all hope we'll find someday. Cheers." The crowd repeated his last word and then clapped proudly.

Haley swiped a few tears from her face before drinking a bit of her sparkling cider. Then a hand grabbed her cup and she looked up to find that it was Nathan. She eyed him strangely. "Nathan, what's...?"

"We're going to dance." He announced to his wife.

Haley let him grab her hand and lead her to the dance floor. "Nathan," she started.

He pulled her to him and let his mouth fall next to her ear. "Just listen to the words." He smoothly demanded. "You'll see why I think of you when I hear this song."

The music hadn't began yet, but she was already anticipating it. If Nathan was this intent on something, then it must either had been extremely sweet or extremely romantic. It really had never failed...because the fact of the matter was that he wasn't aiming to woo her or impress her, he was seriously just trying to do it for her because he felt that it was right. Unintentional sweetness, now what was cuter than that?

The song started and she realized that she had never heard it before, but the melody was already beautiful and blaring over them. It was country--she confirmed as the man began singing. When the chorus started, she knew she would cry.

She looked up into his eyes, he was already watching her. She smiled softly as her eyes watered and he kissed her forehead softly before looking back at her with those dark blue eyes. She felt herself getting lost in him all over again, like it was the first day she'd even looked into his dreamy blues.

"I love you." She mouthed for probably the hundredth time that day.

"You too, baby." He told her before bringing his face closer to hers, his eyes never leaving her eyes. He was dancing with the woman of his dreams, he loved her and she loved him. He felt like everything was perfect. Staring into the face of the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. His heart swelled at the song that was playing because it was how he felt about her, it applied to her. It was like he was singing it and she was right there listening to him putting himself on the line--though he probably didn't sound that good singing it. He swiped a stray tear from her cheek--yeah, she was the most beautiful woman on earth and he'd never find, want or need another like he found, wanted and needed her.

Then along with the song, he mouthed. "Baby you save me."

Every now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right up on the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

It's hard lovin' a man that's got a gypsy soul
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself
You're the angel that believes in me like nobody else
And I thank God you do

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

I know I don't tell you nearly enough
That I couldn't live one day without your love

When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby you, baby you save me

When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me


Haley's eyes teared up when he removed his hands and revealed the London Bridge only a short distance away from her. "Surprise." He whispered.

She stood there frozen. "Nathan, it's really..."

"I know." She'd never been to London on her tour, never at all. This was one of the most anticipated places of Haley's dreams and he wanted to be there to share this moment with her and he finally was. Of course he wanted to be with her, right here right now. It was the perfect honeymoon, the perfect romantic setting. Everything was perfect. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on her head.

"Gorgeous." She agreed, her hands covering his. Leaning her head back against his chest, she took a deep breath to revel in the moment. "You know, Nathan. We've been through everything together. The good, the bad. The wrong kind of wrongs, the right kind of rights. I don't think anything could ever tear us apart."

He pressed his lips to the side of her head in total agreement. "Nothing can, Hales." He said seriously, turning her so that she was facing him. He peered into her brown eyes. "This is forever." His smile was soft before he kissed her...there had never been a more perfect moment in their lives.
