Chapter 5 b

What who died?"

"Mark and Zoë…her husband and daughter!"

Nathan didn't know how to react to that. Haley must have been devastated; she was always one to dream about a family, it was all she had ever wanted, ever since they were kids.

Flashback

"Haaaaley…" A 8 year old Nathan whined, as Haley took the last chocolate brownie on the plate.

"What?" An 8 year old Haley giggled, "I got it first, so HA!" She said in her usual chirpy voice.

But Nathan wasn't going to let her have it on that excuse.

"Na ah, I got to have it for my muscles, my dad always says 'if I want to be a basketball player I have to eat a lot of healthy foods', and since chocolate is like the healthiest food ever, I have to have it, if not u have ruined my future of a basketball player Haley, and I will tell my dad." Nathan smiled thinking he had won, because the mention of his dad usually scared anyone….obviously not Haley though, as she stuffed the whole remaining piece if brownie in her mouth.

Haley giggled by the look on Nathan's face, and decided to tease him "Ooh sooo yummy, the chocolate is…" however was cut of by the pillow he had thrown hitting her in the head.

"OH your soooo going to get it now mister!" She declared as her and Nathan began to have a pillow fight.

After a while once the two had got knackered out, they both collapsed on Haley's sofa.

"Nathan why do you want to be a basket ball player anyways?" Haley asked, full of interest.

"Umm, I don't know, because I'm good at it I guess, and my dad says I'm good enough to play pro, oh and also it's because I would be able to be rich." He joked. "But why the question?"

"Oh um, I don't know, I guess I was just thinking of what I want to do when I'm older"

"And that is…?" Nathan asked, realising he actually had no idea.

"A mum!"

End of flashback

It broke his heart to think of how much Haley wanted to be a mum, even when they were 8 years old that was her main ambition. She must have been so happy when she finally did. She would have been an amazing mum too, Nathan sighed. She would have been so broken when her husband and daughter died. He just wished he would have been there for her.

"Really?" He asked, just to make sure.

"Yeah, didn't you know?" Luke said, beginning to get worried, maybe it wasn't his place to tell Nathan.

……………

Meanwhile Haley walked up the steps to Nathan's house, Chloe had dropped her Barbie doll back at the mall, and she wanted to give her back, however was surprised to see the door open slightly.

Walking up to the door she heard Luke's voice, wondering what Luke was doing there she walked through the door, with Chloe's 'Haley' doll in her hands. However, knowing it was a bad thing to do she decided to listen in on their conversation….after all she heard her name being mentioned.

"Haley and Brooke." Lucas informed.

"What? You know Haley?" Nathan asked surprised.

"Well yeah, I'm only dating her best friend," Lucas laughed. "Try to keep up man." He joked.

"Haha, very funny Luke! I've only been here what 3 days, I don't exactly know all the family affairs…Oh" He emphasized remembering Brooke saying something "You're her Luke the one whose having the party tonight?" Nathan asked, which Luke agreed too.

"Wow man, so how did you and Brooke happen?"

"Well, after I graduated college I moved here to be closer to my mum, and obviously meet Brooke, we got together, feel in love, moved in with each other, happy life's….but then she moved out when Haley needed her last year, which I completely understand why, Haley meant a lot to me too she needed her best friend at a time like that."

"Wh..what? What happened to Haley?" Nathan asked urgently, this must have been the thing she was getting at before.

"Well when they died!" Lucas said not realising Nathan didn't know, for all knew Haley and Nathan were good friends, well that's how Brooke and Haley where gossiping about anyways.

"What who died?"

"Mark and Zoë…her husband and daughter!"

Haley felt the tears form in her eyes as Luke told Nathan. She wanted to be the on to do it. However it didn't matter how mad she was at Luke she couldn't really blame him….he didn't know,

Curiosity over took her as she listened in on the rest of the conversation.

"You didn't know did you?" Lucas asked, hoping to god he hadn't put is foot in it.

"Ummm no, but I guess that explains a lot to what has happened to her." Nathan said, still in utter shock.

"What? What do you mean what has happened to her?"

"Well she just isn't the same Haley, I mean you must have realised it, she isn't the same Christmas Haley I used to know, and I just wondered what had happened to her over the years, but now I think its pretty obvious, its just a shame you know, Haley truly was a great person before."

As Nathan said those words Haley found herself not being able to stand there any longer. He was right, she wasn't the same, but that didn't give him the right to go and say it as if what had happened was no big deal.

She had to get out of there, she had to get away from Brooke and her stupid party, she just had to go to the one place she felt like she was at home.

Putting the Barbie doll on the side she quietly sneaked out of the door.

…………….

"Chloe, come on we need to get there by 6" Nathan said to his daughter who was too busy playing with her Barbie doll she had got from the store that day.

"Okay daddy, but do I get to bring Haley?" She asked skipping out of the living room to meet Nathan at the doorway holding her coat ready ton put it on her.

"Yes baby you can bring Haley, now come on" He laughed, not wanting to waste time, he had to talk to Haley, tell her that he knew what had happened, and that he wanted to help her, he wanted so bad the old Haley James, the Haley James he had grown up loving as a best friend, and maybe if he were being honest more.

After Luke left he made a promise with himself that he was going to do everything in his power to help Haley get over her lose.
