Back In Your Life

"Haley Mark is here." Brooke shouted to her friend. "She'll be out in a minute." Brooke said giving Mark a dirty look. She didn't really like this guy. He didn't seem right.

"Thanks." Mark replied back.'whats wrong with her'

"Hey Mark." Haley said coming out of her room. She was dressed in a red knee length, strapless dress.

"Wow Haley you look beautiful." Mark knew he didn't plan on dating this girl, but he couldn't deny the fact that she looked good.

"Thanks. You don't look to bad yourself." Haley said giving him a warm smile.

"Well you ready to go."

"Yeah let me just grab my purse." When Haley went into the other room to get her purse she caught Brooke mouthing 'be careful' to her. She just nodded and went back to Mark. "Okay lets go."

Mark took Haley's hand and walked her out to his car. He opened the door for her and then went around to get in on the driver side. "Now there are some rules. I'm pretty strict about people touching the radio, but since your good looking I can make an exception." Mark joked.

"Thanks now I don't have to listen to your shity music." Haley teased. "So where are you taking me?" Haley asked.

"Well I thought, if you don't mind, that I could take you back to my place and I would cook you dinner." Mark suggested.

"Oh Alright, but don't try anything." Haley pointed at him, trying to keep a serious face, but failed miserably when she started laughing at his fake hurt expression.

"I would never dream of it. What kind of man do you take me for Miss. James." Mark teased earning another laugh from Haley.

The rest of the ride was left in a peaceful silence.

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

"Nate you need to relax."

"Luke you don't understand. This Mark guy is a creep thats's trying to use Haley, and I was to stupid to say anything." Nathan was pacing back and forth in his house. He was going crazy so he called Luke and Jake to come over so he would have someone to distract him, but they weren't doing a very good job.

"Yeah Nate you got that right, you are stupid." Jake commented. Lucas nodded his head laughing.

"You guys this is not funny. I heard him talking about her. All he wants to do is sleep with her. Haley is mine, he can't sleep with her." Nathan blurted out.

"Wow Nate you're a little possessive don't you think. Haley isn't exactly yours. Also its your fault, you should of said something to Haley but you two are so blind and stupid around each other that you don't even notice the others feelings, and then you two play these stupid mind games. Not to mention you are both scared." Lucas said more seriously.

"She's the one that's scared not me." Nathan defended himself.

"Okay if your not scared then why are you freaking out about what she might be doing with this Mark guy?" Lucas challenged. "If your not scared then you shouldn't worry about who she goes out with, you know since your so confident that you too will be together. But wait she just wants to be friends."

" Shut up Luke, you're suppose to be helping, not make it worse." Nathan said getting angry.

"Admit your scared little brother. You're scared that she may never want you again. Sure you may think Haley is playing games, but you could be wrong." Lucas continued.

"Okay Luke, I'm scared shitless. Is that what you wanted to hear. I fucking moved out to L.A. to be closer to her and she keeps pushing me away." Nathan admitted not only to Luke and Jake, but also to himself. This was the first time he has ever admitted that he was scared about the whole situation.

"Nate I was in your same position when I came back to Peyton. It takes time." Jake offered his help.

"Well what did you do?"

"I waited it out. I asked myself if Peyton was the one I really wanted to be with, and I knew she was so I waited for her to figure things out. Now look we're together again. Haley is just confused. I've known her for along time and she has always been this way, and if you want me to talk to her for you I will." Jake answered.

"No you don't have to do that, your right I'll just have to wait. She'll figure it out, hopefully soon." Nathan started to relax a little now. "Hey how about we go out or something, it would really help me to get my mind off things." Nathan suggested.

"I'm in." Jake agreed that Nathan could use a distraction.

"I don't know guys." Lucas said being the mature one. "it's starting to rain pretty hard out there."

"Who cares we will be inside. Come on Luke." Nathan begged. "Please do it for me. You can be designated driver if you want." Nathan said with a smirk.

"Oh thanks little brother." Luke replied sarcastically. "Alright I'm in, but you better not do anything stupid Nate."

"I won't I promise."

"Alright its settled, lets go."

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

"Mark that was great. I never pictured you to be a good cook." Haley said.

"Yeah well there's a lot about me that you don't know." Mark countered.

"Well so far everything I know seems to be good." Haley flirted. "So what's next on this date?"

"I was thinking that maybe we could watch a movie. Your pick." Mark suggested.

"That sounds good. Point me in the right direction."

Haley and Mark had just finished eating. Throughout the meal they held a steady conversation that was light and friendly. Haley was enjoying herself. She probably wouldn't do this again, but at least she was having a good time. She realized that everyday she spent away from Nathan, the craving to be around him only grew. After being here with Mark, who at first she was very interested in, she realized that he wasn't what she wanted. What was the point of being with someone else if Nathan would always have her heart. So instead of blowing Mark off she thought she would try to be his friend.

"How about this one?" Haley asked holding up A walk to remember. It was the movie that Nathan had take her to see on their first date.

"Aww man and here I thought my sister took all of her chick flicks out of there." Mark laughed.

"Well to bad mister because this is one of my favorites and we are watching it." Haley put the movie in and went to go sit on the couch by Mark. "I was kind of curious why a guy like you would own that movie." Haley smirked.

"Yeah you know me, I watch it all the time." Mark replied sarcastically

As Haley watched the movie she could point out the exact part where Nathan reached his hand over to grab hers, and when he whispered in her ear how beautiful she looked. That is the only reason why she wanted to watch this movie. It brought back all the memories of her and Nathan.

Haley was quickly brought out of her thoughts when she felt Mark's hand graze over her leg and then stop at the top of her thigh. 'okay he's not going to do anything. Just some friendly touching.' Haley thought. Well she thought wrong. Soon Mark's hand went in between her thighs. 'what is he doing.'

"uhhm I have to use the bathroom. I'll be right back." Haley quickly excused herself.

Haley figured that maybe if she leaves he will take the hint to stop. She went into the bathroom and splashed some water on her face. She then looked up into the mirror and was ashamed at what she saw. This use to be Haley's life before Nathan came back into it. She would have been fine with what Mark was doing back there a month ago, and that sickened her. She was such a different person, and the sad thing was thst she was just realizing this now. She has changed so much and she didn't like the person she changed into at all. After tonight she was going to set things straight. She was sick of playing games, especially with Nathan. He was all she ever wanted, and here she was pushing him away.

Haley walked back into the living room and sat back on the couch. She noticed that the movie was already half way over.

"Are you alright?" Mark asked. Haley just nodded and turned her attention back to the T.V. She then felt Mark scoot closer to her. She could feel his hot breath on her neck, and there goes his hand again back in between her legs. When Mark began kissing Haley's neck she couldn't take it anymore.

"You know what I have to go." Haley said standing up from the couch quickly.

"Why? We were just starting to have some fun." Mark said with a smirk on his face.

"If you mean sex, you're wrong. I never had any intention of sleeping with you." Haley said getting angry. "Who do you think I am?"

"Well I think you're hot, and I've heard your pretty good in bed." Mark still had that smirk plastered to his face. Haley was getting ready to slap it right off.

"Well I'm not like that anymore. And I can't believe I actually thought you were a good guy, but I guess you proved me wrong because your just like the rest of them."

"Its not my fault you're a whore." For that comment Mark got slapped across the face.

"Don't you fucking call me a whore. You know nothing about me!" Haley screamed. She then got her things and started walking toward the door.

"Fine be a bitch. Now you get to walk home in the rain." Was the last thing Mark got out before Haley slammed the door closed.

When Haley got outside her tears mixed with the rain. She couldn't believe that this was the life she use to live. She use to be a slut. How could she ever sleep with random guys and be fine with it. She never realized how much she changed, and now she wanted to go back and change it all. She would have never left Nathan in the first place, she would have followed him to Duke. If she did she probably wouldn't have become the person she is now and they would probably still be together. She had to go see him, and she had to tell him how she really feels. Haley turned around and started walking in the direction of Nathan's house.

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

Nathan was at the bar dancing with some girl, he didn't even know her name, but she sure could dance. It was probably almost midnight and both Jake and Lucas had already left and Nathan insisted that he would either hitch a ride with someone or walk home, his house wasn't that far.

Nathan met this girl awhile ago. He could tell she was probably some girl who just slept around. Heck maybe she slept with guys for money, but that didn't stop Nathan because he was way to drunk and having way to much fun. This girl was driving him insane with her dancing. She was so good at. They were practically having sex with clothes on the dance floor.

"Hey you want to get out of here?" Nathan asked

"You think you can handle me." the girl whispered hotly in his ear.

"oh trust me, I will blow your mind." Nathan smirked

"Alright your place it is."
