I am so sorry that I haven't updated in forever! But I brought in my laptop to Bestbuy to get fixed and it took the, forever to get it back to me. In fact I should be studying for finals right now, but I felt guilty about not updating in a while so I hopped on the computer and wrote this chapter. I don't know if it came out as well as I wanted to but oh welll. I hope you guys don't hate me for this chapter. But just remember that I am a die hard Naley fan, btu drama is always good for the storyline. hahaha. Enjoy!

Chapter 26

"Hey Baby James." I looked up from my book that I was reading at the Cafe and saw Chase pulling out a seat at the table I was at to sit across from me.

"Oh hey Chase, I didn't hear you come in." I said while closing my book.

"Obviously." Chase said while smiling and gesturing toward the book that now lay across from me.

"So what's up?" I asked while facing him.

"What do you mean what's up? Can't a guy just stop by to see how one of his best friends is doing?" Chase asked innocently.

"Sure," I said as Chase put on a victorious smile. "But not you Adams." I finished with a smirk as Chase's smile fell.

"That hurt James." He mocked pain while putting one of his hands over his heart.

"Chase." I urged while laughing.

"Okay, you got me." He said while smiling.

"What is it Adams?" I said while smirking and shaking my head.

Boys are so easy.

"So you know that party we went to a couple of nights ago?" He started.

"Oh you mean the one we got busted for? How could I forget?" I said sarcasm dripping from my voice.

"Anyway," Chase continued while giving me a pointed look.

"I was talking to this cheerleader on your team --"

"Bevin, yeah I remember." I interrupted.

"Well, I wanna ask her out." Chase finished with a weary look on his face.

"So what's the problem?" I questioned confused. Chase has never hesitated on asking out girls before.

"I need you to find out if she is into me." Chase said while a hopeful smile.

"Chase." I groaned while throwing my head back against my seat. "Why can't you just ask her out?" I asked.

"Because I don't want to be rejected and what's the point of having a best friend as a cheerleader if she can't hook me up with one of her fellow cheerleaders?" Chase questioned with an innocent smile.

"I feel so used." I scoffed.

"Come on Hales." Chase whined while giving me his puppy dog eyes that I could never say no to.

"Fine." I relented while throwing my arms up in the air. "The things I do for you Adams." I said while pointing a finger at him.

"And I love you for it!" He exclaimed. He got up and moved closer and pulled me into a tight hug. "Thanks James." He whispered into my ear.

"Hey guys." I pulled away from our embrace and saw Nathan standing by the table.

"Hey babe." I stood up and pressed my lips against Nathan's as he pulled me tighter to his body. I pulled away with a slightly disgusted face as I felt his damp shirt come in contact with one of my arms.

"Ewe, you're all sweaty." I said while wiping my arm.

"You have never complained before." He answered back in a husky voice.

"Nathan!" I scolded while hitting him on the arm.

"And that's my cue to go." I heard Chase from behind us and saw him get up from the table.

"Hales, don't forget." He said while giving me a pointed look.

"Yeah, yeah. Go before I change my mind." I said while smiling.

"Bye Nate." Chase patted Nathan on the back and walked out of the Café while Nathan and I took the seats Chase and I were just in at the table.

"What was that about?" Nathan asked with a curious stare.

"Nothing." I said while laughing. "I'm just doing Chase a favor."

"Is that why you guys were hugging when I came in?" Nathan asked.

"Oh no, we were hugging because Chase can't resist me. I'll have you know Scott; I am just simply irresistible to guys." I said with a smirk.

"You're funny." Nathan replied sarcastically.

"I like to think so." I quipped.

"So stop by my dorm later tonight. Lucas and Brooke are going out tonight. Chances are he'll be staying the night at the apartment." Nathan said while moving closer to me.

"And what exactly do you have in mind Scott?" I asked with a kinked eyebrow.

"We could watch a movie." Nathan answered innocently.

"Or I could kick your butt in NBA Live again." I said teasingly. "That was so much fun the last time." I answered while trying to contain my laughter at the look on Nathan's face.

"You did not win. You cheated." Nathan answered back simply.

"Whatever you have to tell yourself." I said while laughing.

"Fine, we'll have a rematch tonight."

"Okay, if it'll make you happy." I said teasingly.

"No cheating." He said while pointing a finger at me.

"Who me?" I answered back innocently.

"It's on James." Nathan replied while displaying one of his infamous signature smirks.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the campus slut." I turned around and openly rolled my eyes at the sight of Stacie standing in front of me.

"Oh no, I'm pretty sure you're the Campus slut." I answered back. I stopped by the gym on my way back to the apartment to see if I left my sweatshirt here during practice. Of course with my luck I ran into Stacie.

"Have you thought about what I told you a few nights ago?" She asked while walking closer to where I was standing by the bleachers.

"I don't care what you know Stacie." I said exasperatedly.

"So you don't mind if I tell Nathan that you and your really close friend Chase used to date?" She asked with a smirk.

I scoffed while shaking my head. "Honestly no. Go right ahead, Chase and I dated when we were 16. Nathan won't even care." I said while walking towards the gym door.

"Oh I beg to differ. You see Holly the thing is I've known Nathan a lot longer than you have and while he might not care that you and Chase dated when you were 16, he will care that you deliberately kept it from him." Stacie said.

"Whatever."

"You know I'm right Holly." Stacie laughed as I let out a deep breath and walked out of the gym.

I had to talk to Nathan. And I had to talk to him now.

The walk to Nathan's apartment was one of the longest walks ever. I kept thinking about what Stacie said and I realized I just needed to tell Nathan the truth. I was currently pacing outside of his dorm room. It took at of convincing from Peyton, Brooke and Rachel to get me over here. I don't even know why I am so scared, but something deep inside of me just tells me that Nathan won't take this well.

I put my fist against his door and knocked softly three times. Nathan opened the door and pulled me inside giving me a quick kiss on the forehead.

"Ready to get your ass kicked James?" Nathan questions while laughing.

"Before the game of NBA Live." I started while putting my hand over Nathan's stopping his actions of putting the video game into his PS2. "We need to talk." I finished while sitting on his bed.

"Why do I not like the sound of this?" Nathan questioned wearily while taking a seat next to me on his bed.

"I haven't been completely honest with you." I started. "I think you should know that Chase and I used to date." I said while looking at Nathan.

"Like recently?" Nathan questioned and I could see his eyes getting a shade darker.

"No!" I exclaimed. "We were 16; it was a few months before I got together with Chris." I said quickly.

"I can't believe this." Nathan mumbled while getting up from the bed.

"Nathan it's not that big of a deal." I said while standing up as well. "It was a long time ago."

"Are you still into him?" He asked edgily.

"What?! No!" I responded. "How could you even ask me that?" I questioned.

"I don't know you guys were hugging his morning. Are you sure he still doesn't have feelings for you?" Nathan questioned.

"Nathan, you're acting ridiculous. There is nothing going on between me and Chase, I just thought I would be honest with you."

"But you kept it from me all this time?"

"Nathan you're overreacting, it was years ago."

"No, Haley. I don't think that I'm overreacting. Honestly yeah I'm pissed that you and Chase used to date because let's face it, I'm a jealous boyfriend. What I really care about is the fact that you lied to me about it." Nathan said while shaking his head.

It's official. I have no idea what to say. I never thought Nathan would react like this.

"I need some space." Nathan said while grabbing a sweatshirt and walking toward the door.

"Nathan!" I yelled after him. "Don't walk away, you always do that!" Nathan turned around from his place at the door to turn and look at me.

"That's because it keeps me from saying things that you don't want to hear." He head while shaking his head and walking out shutting the door behind him.

I looked at the door in shock and took a step back my hands finding the ground below his bed as I sunk down pulling my knees to my chest.

I can't believe Stacie was right.

So there it was. I know that some of you don't feel like it was a big deal that Haley and Chase used to date in High School, but remember that she did keep it from Nathan and Nathan is a very jealous guy. lol. maybe I just suck at the whole drama thing. hahahha. I hoped you liked it! Please review!
