Chapter 12: You did What?
"You were what?" Haley asked her son.
"Arrested."
"Both of you?"
"No, mom. Just me. I...um...snuck out. And Dad found out I guess. And tried to protect you from worrying and try to keep me out of trouble. But it didn't work because...I screwed up on my own."
"What did you do?"
"Um..." Nathan said as he looked at his father.
" Tell her,Nate."
" I can't." Nathan said and ran upstairs.
" Fine Nathan then you explain it to me before I ground him for life." Haley said to Nathan.
" Okay. Look Haley, before I tell you I want you to know I had no idea where he was, Okay?"
" Okay. Now where was he, Nate?"
" At the beach."
" Okay. That doesn't sound to bad yet. Continue."
" At a party. And I think if you can remember correctly you can see how those parties used to be like."
" Yeah."
" Well, he was arrested for...underaged drinking."
" He really is like you."
" Will everyone please stop saying that. I was only arrested once for that and I was almost 17."
" Well, thank you Nathan. For going after him. And you probably saved me a lot of worrying."
"No Problem."
" Well, I better go and talk to him. I'll see you tomorrow maybe."
"Yeah. Absolutely. Bye." He said and walked over to her and gave her a hug and a light kiss on her forehead. Then he left.
"Bye." Haley whispered.
All the feelings that she once...and still had till that day for him came rushing back the moment he hugged her and she felt the warmth of his arms. You think he...no...she said to herself quietly.
In his car
As Nathan started to drive down the street he thought of how great it felt to have Haley in his arms like he did. "You think she...no he said to himself.
