Chapter 2: It can't be true
Haley was crying in the embrace of her best friend. They went back to Lucas' house and it was silent the whole trip.
"Lucas. How should I tell Nathan?" she asked
"Well first go and see him. Tell him you made a mistake and you love him. Start asking him how he's been? And stuff like that. Then say you need to talk to him about something important and tell him. He'll be supportive. I'm sure of it. I mean he never wanted to be like Dan, so he should be okay. Good luck. Here take my car." He finished he opened the door for her to leave.
"Thank you, Lucas." she said just above a whisper.
When Haley turned on to Oakmont Terrace she felt her stomach turn into a knot. She was thinking of the night she left and then turned into the parking lot of the apartment. Inside the apartment was Nathan sitting in front of the TV watching the news with his best friend, Tim who came over to help him. The headline tonight was Haley James leaves Wreakers tour. Nathan was shocked to hear this. He looked at Tim who was confused by Nathan's expression.
"What?" Tim asked
"Look Tim. Look at the headline. Haley left the tour. Where could she be? But why would she leave?" He replied and began talking to himself.
He sat on the couch and was thinking about his beautiful wife. Where she is? Just the he hears a light tap at the door. Lately he has been dreading opening that door because every time he does someone is there reminding him of Haley and what has happened to him. He got up slowly and swung open the door. Seeing Haley there surprised him a bit.
"Haley, what are you doing here?" He asked concerned.
"I need to talk to you." she replied.
"Yeah. Come in." he opened the door widely and let her in. Tim leave. He stated.
"Oh, come on I want to see the fight." he sounded disappointed
Tim left slowly and Nathan turned around and saw Haley's mouth gape open at the mess that has formed just from the two weeks she had been gone.
"So what's up? I heard you left the tour. But, why?" Nathan asked confused.
"Because of something that happened. It's just… I can't live there. With those people because none of them are you." She said.
Nathan smiled slightly and then brought himself back to the present.
"Wait. What happened?" he asked.
"Okay, Nathan listen. Wow, this is harder than I thought it would be. Nathan I came back because I found out that we're… I…us are going to be… parents." She stated afraid of the outcome.
"What? What are you talking about?" He stood there confused still.
"I mean. I'm…. I'm …pregnant. And I want to come home". she said right above a whisper.
"And what you're here to tell me I'm the father. Or saying Chris didn't want to take care of his kid after he got you pregnant so your just saying that I'm the father. I don't buy that crap." he yelled.
"What are you talking about? I never slept with Chris and you know it. You just angry." she defended herself.
"Yeah, right. Get out Haley. You left, you ruined it. I would've given you the world. But now just leave there's nothing here for you. I bet you're not even pregnant. You're just a liar. Get out. Out of my apartment. Out of this town. And out of my life." he spoke harshly.
Haley just stood there with tears flowing down her face and ran out. This was a depressing day. She went back to Luke's stuck his keys in an envelope, slipped it under the door and took a cab to the airport. She left a not for Lucas telling him she had to leave. She was going to LA. Her sister Vivian lived there and maybe she could get a place near there. That was the last time Haley saw Tree Hill.
