Chapter Eight

Nathan sat down beside Haley, and grabbed her hand.

"I can't believe you called my mom, and woke her up," Haley paused and looked at him, "I also can't believe we are on a plane flying to North Carolina," she said, lying her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah, well I told you I was going to fix this," he said.

"Nathan I'm not sure I can face her," she said, squeezing his hand, unknowingly.

He pulled her face up to his, and kiss her lips gently.

"I'm here, she isn't going to do or say anything to you," he said, putting his arm around her.

"I'm so happy you're here with me," she said, snuggling up in the his neck.

"So where in North Carolina are you from?" Nathan asked.

"Oh, just this small little town, why?" Haley asked.

"Because I'm from North Carolina too," Nathan said.

"Oh, well I'm from Tree Hill," she said.

His eyes got wide, and he couldn't believe it.

"Oh, I think I might of heard of it," he said.

"Nathan what's wrong?" Haley asked.

"Oh, nothing, I'm fine," he said.

"No your not," she said.

"No I am, I think I ate something that's not agreeing with me," he said, holding his stomach to make her believe it.

"Oh, well, where in NC are you from?" she asked.

"Tree Hill," he said, looking away.

"How could you be from Tree Hill, I've never met you?" Haley asked.

"My dad sent me and my brother to private school's slightly out of town," Nathan said.

"Oh, well then you probably wouldn't know my best friend then," Haley asked.

"Who is it?" Nathan asked.

"Peyton Sawyer, I told her that we would stay with her," Haley said.

"Oh," he said.

----------------------------------------

They only had an hour left, and Nathan saw that Haley had finally fell asleep.

How could she be best friends with Peyton. Why would she be friends with her. God, why did he have to fall for a girl that happened to live in Tree Hill. He swore he would never go back there. He swore that when he left, he would never return. Everyone there hated him, for good reason's too….

-----------------------------------------

They felt the plane start to descend.

"Hey Hales, where landing," Nathan said, rubbing her shoulder.

"Oh, okay," Haley said, wiping the sleep from her eyes.

"So I'm guessing we're waiting till morning to go see your mom," Nathan asked.

"Yeah, I really need some sleep, so do you, you look about like death," Haley said.

"Gee, thanks," he said.

"Yeah, well I still love ya," Haley said, rolling over and kissing him.

"Good wouldn't have it any other way," he said, kissing her back.
