Chapter Eleven

We stopped at a gas station to get some wine, sort of as a gift for allowing us to intrude on their thanksgiving. We arrived there 10 minutes later and walked right in. Larry stood, confusion written on his face. "What are you two doing here? Weren't you at the Scott's?" he asked.

I sighed and took off my jacket. "Don't even ask, it was horrible!" I exclaimed. "All I want is a normal thanksgiving with people who actually care about me."

Jenny jumped up and gave me a hug. "I care about you, Aunt Haley!" she exclaimed.

I smiled and hugged her closer. "Thank you, sweetheart," I replied.

Larry got 2 more chairs, plates and silverware sets as we said hello to Jake and Peyton. Then we all sat down. Larry told us to grab each others hands and bow our heads for grace.

"Oh, do you mind if I say grace?" I asked. He smiled and nodded. I took a deep breath. "Dear lord, thank you for this wonderful food we are about to receive. Thank you for the wonderful people around this table. Thank you for allowing me to get out of that house without killing anybody. And most of all, thank you for Brooke because I just dragged her along without really caring if she wanted to stay. She's the best! Amen."

Everyone laughed a little but said amen as well. "Let's eat!" Larry exclaimed and everyone began digging in.

I had all this food on my plate and I don't even think I came up for air.

"Whoa, Haley, slow down!" Brooke exclaimed. "I don't think I've ever seen you eat that fast!"

I shrugged. "What's the point anymore?" I muttered. "What am I trying to look good for? Nathan wants me to be fat and pregnant by the time we're married so why not start now?"

I looked up and everyone was staring at me. I set down my fork, a sudden wave of nausea hit me. I covered my mouth as I stood up. "Excuse me," I said and ran to the bathroom. I sobbed as I threw up. I was miserable because I knew she had won. She was probably making fun of me right now and all of them were laughing. I flushed the toilet and sat with my back against the tub.

There was a knock at the door. "Please go away," I said softly and then went to throw up again. I heard the door open and felt a hand on my back, rubbing it softly. The other hand held back my hair. I flushed the toilet and sat back finally seeing the man. "Nathan?"

He gave me a small smile. "So you really were sick?" he joked.

I sighed. "Not really. I just forced myself to eat almost the whole turkey," I explained. He raised an eyebrow but I just lifted a hand. "Don't ask. I've just been really stupid."

He shook his head. "You're not stupid, I'm stupid," he replied.

I crossed my arms. "Wait a second, why aren't you at your monster, I mean mother's house?"

He laughed. "She is a monster, huh? She said something's and I couldn't take it anymore so we left, Luke and I. I wanted to bring my dad too, poor guy."

I gave him a smile. "What did she say?" I asked softly.

He opened his arms and I went into them. "You don't need to hear that," he replied, "and I definitely don't want to hear that again."

He stood up and helped me to my feet. "I'm sorry we got into that argument. It was really stupid! I just… I don't know," I said.

He put a stray hair behind my ear. "Let's not talk about it tonight. Let's go back out there and enjoy an actual family thanksgiving, okay?"

I groaned. "As long as I don't have to eat anymore," I replied and he laughed.

We walked out, hand in hand. Larry smiled. "Ready to eat more?" he joked.

I held out a hand. "Please, no. I might get sick again," I replied. I looked to Nathan. "You can take my seat, Nate; I obviously won't need it."

He smiled but took me with him, sitting me on his lap. I looked at him curiously. "You're sitting with us anyways. This way we don't need another chair," he explained and everyone laughed.

"So, Haley, you so should've stayed! Nathan went off on mom! It was great," Lucas exclaimed, a grin on his face.

We all looked at Nathan. "You didn't tell me that part, Nate."

He shrugged. "It was no big deal."

I smiled at him. "It is to me," I replied and kissed him lightly.

"So, let's talk about the wedding," Larry said, trying to get us to stop kissing.

I groaned. "Doesn't anyone want to talk about something else?" I asked, looking around.

Brooke laughed. "You're not getting out of this, Haley! So, who has seen Haley in her dress?" she asked. Everyone but Nathan raised their hands.

"Well that's not fair!" Nathan pouted.

I kissed his cheek. "It's bad luck if you see me in it before the wedding, Natey," I whispered in his ear.

He glared at the nickname but I smiled at him. "Aunt Haley looks beautiful in her dressey, Uncle Nate!" Jenny exclaimed. "She looks like a princess!"

I smiled at her. "Thank you, Jen!"

She grinned. "I hope I look as pretty as you in my wedding dressey!"

We all laughed. "You won't be getting married for a very, VERY long time," Jake said.

"Aw, but daddy!"

"No 'but daddy', Jen!" he replied, trying to be stern.

I scoffed. "Jenny, you want to date a boy before you rush him to the alter, okay?" I said.

She looked at Jake. "When can I date, daddy?" she asked sweetly.

He smiled back at her. "You can date when you're 35, sweetheart, not a day before!" he replied and went back to eating.

"Now that's my kind of guy!" Larry exclaimed. "I tried that with Peyton, but it didn't work."

There was a knock at the door. Peyton rose to answer it. "Who could that be?" Larry asked.

I groaned. "Nate, did you tell them where you were going?" I asked.

He shook his head. "No, but I bet they found out," he muttered. I rested my head on his shoulder as he rubbed my back.

Sure enough Deb and Dan walked in. Dan smiling and Deb crying.
