Author's note: Today, I'm pretty bored and I have another amazing story planned out for Nathan and Haley so I'm going to get as many chapters of this story published as possible! Wish me luck:)
Chapter 10: Pictures
"Lucas, what the hell took you so long?" Haley asked as she and Peyton stood up from the floor of the nursery.
"Mac called…" Lucas replied as he set the buckets of paint down on the plastic Haley spread out.
"And?" Peyton urged him to continue.
"And, she had a miscarriage, so I guess we'll never know," Lucas answered.
"I'm sorry, Luke." Haley hugged him.
"If you're not up to painting… we'll understand. Rachel and Mouth are on their way here, so they can help," Peyton spoke as she opened a bucket of paint.
"Are you kidding, of course, I'll help. This is my niece or nephew we're talking about," Lucas smiled.
"Hello all!" Brooke grinned as she walked into the room.
"Hey Brooke, wanna help paint?" Peyton asked.
"Um, you guys go ahead. I have a few phone calls I have to make. I'll just be in the living room if you need me. Lucas, can we talk for a second?" Brooke asked. He nodded and followed her out of the room.
"What are we doing?" Brooke asked as she sat on the couch.
"Honestly, I'm not sure… Does it have to be labeled right now?" Lucas asked.
"Geez, what's gotten into you?" Brooked asked.
"Mac called. She had a miscarriage…"
"I'm so sorry, babe."
"It's okay… but then I saw Nathan eating lunch with some woman and he told me to leave it alone because Haley would choose his side again so I don't know what to do."
"Are you sure? And it wasn't Aubrey this time?" Brooke asked.
"I'm positive. Nathan said that her name was Madison Kennedy and it was her father who got Haley's song sold to Carrie Underwood."
"In exchange for sleeping with his daughter?" Brooke spat.
"I don't know. He just left." Lucas answered. Rachel and Mouth walked in. Rachel threw a magazine in Brooke's lap.
"Look at this!" Rachel demanded. Brooke flipped it over and saw a picture of Nathan with some mystery woman.
"Oh my god!" Brooke cried.
"That's her. That's the woman I saw him with. Madison," Lucas studied the picture carefully.
"As in Madison who calls his phone 50 million times a day? So much for trusting Nathan, right?" Rachel shook her head angrily.
"Nathan Scott, star of the L.A. Lakers, has been seen multiple times out and about with Madison Kennedy, the daughter of music legend Bruce Kennedy. Normally, we would speculate that marriage is in their future, however Nathan already has a wife…" Brooke read.
Haley and Peyton walked into the room. She noticed Brooke hide something behind her back and everyone had a guilty look on their face.
"What are you hiding, Brooke?" Haley asked as she reached around her friend's back to grab the magazine. She looked at the cover and saw the picture. Tears started coming down her cheeks, so she turned around and walked to her bedroom, locking the door behind her.
"This is awful!" Brooke whispered as she walked out of the room to try and talk to Haley.
"Nathan told me about her," Peyton spoke up. Rachel, Mouth and Lucas looked at her.
"He told you he cheated on Haley and you didn't tell her?" Lucas asked.
"He said that Madison chick kissed him once, but he pulled away. He said he would tell Haley about it and that it wasn't a big deal. They heard the door slam and saw Nathan walk past the living room. He saw Brooke knocking on his bedroom door, trying to get Haley to open up.
"What's going on?" Nathan asked her.
"You're an ass!" Brooke yelled and walked back down the hall. Nathan started pounding on Haley's door.
"Haley, let me in. What's going on?" Nathan asked as the others stood back and listened. Haley opened the door. Her face was red and tear stained.
"This, you bastard! How could you?" Haley screamed as she threw the magazine at him. He picked it up and looked at it.
"Hales, I am so sorry," Nathan shook his head.
"Sorry that you did it or sorry that you got caught?" Haley demanded as she threw clothing into a bag.
"It's not what you think… If you would just listen to me," Nathan tried to reason.
"No! I'm tired of listening. I'm tired of letting you explain yourself! I'm tired of you, Nathan Scott!"
"Fine. Just run away, that's what you do best! You know what, don't leave. I'm sure Madison will let me stay at her place!" Nathan yelled as he backed down the hallway.
"Don't you dare!" Haley screamed. "Don't walk away from this Mr. Big Shot!"
"I can't talk to you when you're like this," Nathan shook his head.
"You're an ass! I hope Madison makes you very happy, you son of a bitch!" Haley grabbed a vase from her nightstand and threw it down the hall towards Nathan. He looked at his friends watching intensely.
"Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid," Nathan said as he walked out the front door. Lucas followed him and jumped in the passenger seat of his SUV before he pulled away. Nathan had tears coming down his face as he punched the steering wheel.
"Nathan…" Lucas started.
"Please don't. Just don't say anything," Nathan cried.
Haley had made her way down the hall and was trying to pick up the broken glass from the vase as she cried hysterically. Peyton, Brooke and Rachel ran to help her. Haley didn't even realize it when she cut her hand. Blood started gushing out everywhere. Peyton ran to get a first aid kit as Brooke just wrapped her arms around Haley and let her cry. Rachel picked up the glass.
"It wasn't supposed to be like this," Haley cried.
"Shh. Maybe it's not. Maybe you should let him explain," Brooke whispered.
"Pictures are worth a million words, right?" Haley asked as she sobbed into her friend's shoulder. Peyton began trying to clean the cut but it was really bad.
"I think you're going to need stitches for this one, sweetie," Peyton whispered.
"It doesn't even hurt," Haley cried.
"That's because your heart hurts too much to think about the other pain," Brooke whispered.
"Come on, I'll drive us to the hospital," Rachel helped Haley up.
"Mouth, stay here in case Nathan and Lucas come back and tell them we're at the hospital," Rachel spoke as she kissed her boyfriend. He nodded. The girls helped Haley into Rachel's rental car and they drove to the hospital.
