Okay, on with the story

Chapter two-The beginning to a new year

Nathan's Room-Nathan's point of view

I might as well put some music on to drown out the sound of my parents yelling at each other. I swear it the same old same fight, my mom's always off on business trips and my dad pressuring me. I hear my dad say, "Deb, you're an awful mother. You don't even know your own son, you would if you hadn't cheated on me with that pancy Lawyer." Then my mom says, "Your calling me an awful mother, you pressured your own son to take drugs last year, do you remember that? Huh, because I do! I cant take anymore of this crap from you, I'm leaving." With that I can hear her pick up her purse and grab her keys and walks out the door. I'm not sure if I will ever see my own mother again.

I go back to my bed and lay down but as I'm doing so, I see the picture of Haley and Me on the night stand. I have my arms around her, and she is giving me a kiss on my cheek. Our friend Peyton had taken the picture with out us knowing one day on the beach. That very day my feelings for her started to grow from just best friends to so much more. I don't even know if she feels the same way towards me, I just hope she does because its starting to hurt not being able to tell her the truth. I think I'm going to have to tell her the truth soon, very soon. What the heck is that, theirs a loud noise down stairs and I think my dad is yelling my name.

"Nathan! Get Down Here!" is exactly what I hear. what does he want now, to yell at me some more for not training enough.

"Coming Dad" I say as I'm making my way down the stars. As I enter the kitchen, I see my dad sitting down on the kitchen counter and boy he didn't look happy. "What dad?" I say to him as if I don't really care. I just don't have time for this. "Your mother just left for good this time, and…." I interrupt him, "And what dad? What are you going to do? I can hear everything you two said. These walls aren't as thick as you think." "If I were you I would change that attitude right now mister. Cause you're the reason she left." I looked at him like he had grown another head, "What? How am I the reason she left? She left because she couldn't handle living in the same house as you. Personally I don't blame her; I can't wait till graduation rolls around and get out of this house this place. I'm going to Haley's, and don't try and stop me."

Haley's House-in Haley's POV

Haley's downstairs talking to her parents when the phone starts to ring. Haley's father is the first to get the phone, "James Pizzeria, How may I help you?" Haley just laughs at her father sense of humor. "Um, yeah can I get the Haley special?" Her father shakes his head and says, "Yep, one Haley special coming up!" "Thanks, Mr. James." Mr. James hands the phone to Haley, "Phones for you, it's Nathan." "Thanks, Daddy."

"Hey Nate, What's up?" "Hales, is it all right if I come over?" Haley thought for a few seconds before answering, "Of course you can!" She asked with a grin on her face, she really missed him today. "Thanks, Hales. See you in a few." With a goodbye, she hung up the phone.

About ten minutes later there was a knock at the door. Haley runs downstairs to get the door thinking that it would be Nathan at the door. "Chris?! What the Hell are you doing here?" That's when Haley sees Nathan approaching behind him, "Yeah, Chris. You better have a good reason for being here? Don't make me hurt you!" Haley lets out a sigh, thinking this is going to be a long night. "Dude, Chris Keller doesn't do threats." Oh gosh he's talking in third person again, why did I ever go out with this loser. Oh I know why, I was trying to make Nate jealous. That sure worked, NOT! Snap out of it Haley, they probably think your nuts. "Were waiting! You know what just get out of my face. I HATE YOU! YOU WERE THE WORST BOYFRIEND, so do me a favor and leave." Wow! Were did that come from. "OKAY, Chris Keller is leaving."

Back to Nathan's point of view

Walking up to her, "Are you okay?" I asked but she just stayed quiet, "Hales, answer me. What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" well that seemed to get her attention. Am I flirting with her, maybe she wont think anything of it."What? Oh, I'm fine. I mean, now that you're here." I grin at her and say, "I'm always going to be here for you, I'm your best friend. Now come on lets go inside. I need to talk to you." With that I lead her into her house and up the stairs to her bedroom. "So what on your mind? Does it have to do with what you and Luke were talking about today?" I turn towards her, "Um, actually no it's not about that. I had a fight with my dad tonight." She looks at me like what I said was no big news. "Nate, you always fight with your dad. What was this fight about?" If I hadn't have met Haley, I don't know if I would have turned into the same person I am today. I think I would be more like my dad, and the world doesn't need another Dan Scott. A selfish, spoiled, rotten person who likes to make other peoples lifes miserable.

"Actually this was about my mother leaving again, and then he blamed her leaving on me." It has always been easy for me to open up to Haley, "I don't know if I can live in that house with him. I don't know what to do?" I could feel the tears coming, I had held in so much emotion in the past year. "Nate, its going to be okay. I'm going to help you. I think I have an idea to get you out of the house.

Okay, how do you feel about emancipation?" I just looked at her, I had never thought of that. "I don't know Hales, I would love that but he would never sign the papers." I sighed, and then she said. "Sure, you might be right but isn't worth the try." I just love this girl; she is always looking at the bright side of the problem at hand. "Okay, but maybe we should do some research first?" and she nodded.
