Chapter Ten: Unfaithful

Story of my life,

been searching for the right,

but it keeps avoiding me...

It's weird. Nathan thought, as he sat next to Haley on a cold metal chair. How the sound of a respirator could be so deafening. And with each beep from the machine he could feel Haley jump next to him, like each beep was eye opening and threatening.

Haley stared at Faith's still big, yet smaller belly. Where once a six month old baby had been, and now, nothing. Haley's eyes were still hazy from all the tears as she leaned to the side and into Nathan's arms.

Nathan let out a deep sigh. "Why?" He whispered. Haley looked up at him sadly, a little confused. "She was only six months pregnant." He continued. "Why did she go into labor?" He asked, Haley didn't respond, just sadly leaned back into his arm. She wasn't quite sure if he was asking her or himself, or the world for that matter. Nathan watched Faith laying there, and he flinched at the thought that he could do nothing, he couldn't pick her up, he couldn't take care of her. And it made him mad to think that the only people who could help her, knew nothing about her. They didn't know how she hated having her feet covered when she was sleeping, how she always hung her left arm out over the edge of the bed because it had poor circulation and would always fall asleep and send needles up and down her arm.

"I was thinking the same thing." Haley whispered. Nathan crooked an eyebrow at her, he hadn't said anything out loud, how could she possibly be thinking the same thing. "I saw you looking at her feet, and her left arm. I know, she'd always complain about that." Haley started to cry at the thought of her being uncomfortable. And Nathan slid his arm out from behind her neck and walked over, lifting the covers to expose her still feet. And then moving her arm out from the covers, letting it hang over the edge a little, but not too much. He looked across the room and smirked at Haley and her stomach tossed.

"We should go home." Nathan smiled as he whispered. It was funny how they whispered back and forth in the hospital room, as if, while Faith looked to be sleeping so peacefully, they could wake her by speaking any louder. Nathan walked over and picked up Haley's coat, lacing it over her soft shoulders. His hands lingered there for too long, as Haley shrugged them off, afraid to get too lost in his touch.

"Yea let's go." She said quickly, stepping out of his embrace. She kissed Faith's forehead. "Ill be here first thing tomorrow morning." She whispered to her best friend.

Sorrow in my soul

cause it seems that wrong

really loves my company

Lucas pulled Brooke into his arms as he slid her into the back seat of his car after a long desperate drive to a deserted road where there was no way they could be interrupted. She could feel his hands trailing up her legs as she fell back into the seat and he landed right on top of her. His lips moved rapidly along her jaw line and down her neck, causing her to lose her breath beneath him.

It wasn't long ago, that Brooke had confessed everything to Lucas on that bus stop bench. And if she had only known that it would lead her here, she would have done it long ago. They were both breathing heavily as Lucas felt Brooke playing with the buckle on his belt. It was taking so long for her to get it lose, so he pulled himself up off of her for a brief second and pulled the belt off himself. Her hair was twisted around her neck as he tried to kiss her, using one hand he pushed it away, feeling it twirl beneath his fingers. He stopped what he was doing and looked down at her. And she just stared up at him a little annoyed that he would stop at such a climax. But then her annoyance faded as she saw the way he was looking at her. And her heart pounded louder and louder with each progressing second.

He pushed a lone hair from her face and smiled down at her, his other hand rested underneath her on the small of her back. "You're beautiful." He gasped. She smiled at him and teased a little.

"Just figuring that out now?" She said in an arrogant, yet kidding voice. Lucas laughed a little but then gave her a serious, loving, and his chin quivered as he spoke softly to her.

"No, really, you are... you're beautiful." They just stared at each other for a moment, eyes sparkling, before temptation completely took over their bodies once more and they found themselves lost in each other's kiss.

He's more than a man

and this is more than love

the reason that this guy is blue

Haley and Nathan were also facing a temptation of their own, as they sat on the floor, leaning against Nathan's bed, just like they always used to when they were best friends.

"What if she's not okay?" Haley asked in a shaky voice, she placed her hands over her mouth and cried into them.

Nathan had the worst feeling in the pit of his stomach as he heard her speak there fragile words. But, with her sitting so close to him, all he wanted to do was comfort her. "She'll be fine." He whispered, he slid his hand behind her to rest on the small of her back. This send shivers through her spine as she turned her eyes from him, feeling his stare through her face, and feeling his fingers dance circles on the little bit of exposed skin on her back between her shirt and her low rise jeans.

Haley shut her eyes tightly as she reached behind her back to connect her fingers with his. Don't Haley. She thought to herself. But still, she slid her fingers further into his, clasping them tight. Nathan's breath became heavy as he leaned into her neck. She could feel it, warm against her skin, causing her breath to grow as heavy as his. She felt his lips move closer and closer to her skin, up her jaw line and to the corner of her mouth, close enough to make her crave him, but not enough to actually touch. And with her eyes closed, she thought of how close he was, and how, with any slight movement, their lips would collide. She could feel him finally trying to make contact, with their fingers still entangled together behind her. And as his lips finally made contact with the side of her mouth, she pulled away vigorously. She got to her feet, leaving him dangling in the air, in the sweet scent she tended to leave behind wherever she went. She shook as she looked down at him, so confused and hurt from all the previous events that day.

"Im sorry." He whispered, standing also. He reached out for her hand, and she met his in return. Their hands just dangled in the space between them as Haley began to speak again

"All my life I've avoided those girls. The one's that cheat on their boyfriends. The last thing I need is to be those girls." Haley smiled down at their hands, then let her's fall to her side. "Lucas has been good to me. And I really care about him... he wouldn't do this to me... so I have to do the right thing and not even think of doing it to him." She smiled, leaned in and kissed Nathan's cheek, before disappearing out the door for the last time. He smiled at how faithful she was, wishing with everything in him that he could be Lucas, and she'd be staying true to him.

cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful

and it kills him inside

to know that I am happy with some other guy

I can see him dying

There ya go... Laleyers... please don't bash me...review please...lol...:)
