I'm so glad to know people are still reading this story! I had started this chapter a couple weeks ago, but I didn't really have the inspiration on how to finish it. Somewhere and somehow I got inspiration to work on this story. I'm sry these chapters have been short, but for some reason I have always had trouble writing a lot. Anyway, here is the next chapter and I hope everybody loves it. And please don't forget to review, u'll make my day.

It had been a couple weeks since Haley was subjected to bed rest. The doctor had okayed her to go to school, and resume her normal activities. Although she had been warned that if she felt tired she needed to rest.

Nathan had been rather distant with Haley. Even though they lived in the same house, he did his best to keep conversations minimal. Haley had no clue why he was being like that.

Right now Haley was sitting at lunch away from her friends. She just wanted to sit alone for a while, and didn't needed the constant questions as to why she wasn't engaging in conversation.

"ya know Haley J-Scott, it's not good for you to be over here all alone," skills said to Haley.

"It's not good to be scaring a pregnant women when she's reading a very good book. It might cause her to pop the child out." Haley responded. Skills just smirked at Haley, and then offered her a hug, in which she greatly excepted.

"So why are you over here all alone? I'm surprised Nathan or Lucas haven't sent a search party out for you yet?" Skills enquired.

"I just needed some time to think."

"'bout what? Talk to me girl, you and I have been dogs since we were tiny."

"I don't know. Everything just feels so weird right now." Haley told skills. "Nathan has been really distant with me lately, and I have no clue why."

"Distant how?" Skills enquired.

"He barely talks to me, and when he does talk to me it's kind of awkward."

"Have you to really talked since he came back? Like a serious talk?"

"Yes, of course we have." Haley lied. Skills knew she was lying and just sent her a glare.

"Okay, no we haven't. We've talked a little, like how he wants to be in the babies life, but that's it."

"Well, maybe you just need to talk to him. I mean really talk to him." Skills said. "Besides that, how is everything else?"

"Great, the baby is really starting to move, and I've started to pick out colors for the nursery, even though I have no clue where its going to be," Haley said rather quickly.

"There you are baby!" Bevin screamed bouncing in and giving Skills a kiss on the cheek. "Hi Haley!" Bevin said turning her attention to Haley. "Oh Haley, Lucas is practically having a heart attack trying to find you."

"Well Skills, that's your answer. They are looking for me." Haley said with a chuckle in her voice. "Well, I better head where I'm in sight, before they call the police."

Haley said good-bye to Skills and Bevin and started towards her calculus class, since it would be starting in a 10 minutes, and it took her a while to walk to each class.

Apparently no body had thought to look for her at her next class because only the teacher and a few students were in the classroom.

As the bell rang, she noticed students slowly start to fill their seats. Nathan normally sat next to her during this class, and she was hoping he was going to show.

Students had 5 minutes after the bell rang to get to their class, and Nathan was running rather late since he had one minute to get to class. It was making Haley a little nervous, so she decided to look over her homework again to make sure she had everything right on it.

"There you are!" Haley heard Nathan exclaim. "Where were you during lunch?"

"I went a sat outside by one of the trees," Haley responded.

"Haley it's not safe to be by your self." Nathan tried to push.

Before Haley could protest that she was fine, her class has started.

23

Later that night Haley was preparing dinner. Deb had called in to say that she would be working late at the café. Haley thought it would be nice to cook for Nathan, and hopefully she would get the chance to talk to him.

Minutes before Haley's dinner was ready, she heard the front door open and close. She also heard feet walking up the stairs and the shower turn on. She knew when he got home he would want to take a shower.

Haley had finished making dinner, set the table and checked her self in the mirror. Minutes later she heard Nathan walk downstairs.

"Nathan, I made dinner," Haley told him.

"No, thanks I'm not really that hungry." Nathan responded.

"Nathan can we talk?" Haley asked him.

"Not now." was all Nathan responded.

"Nathan, please." Haley begged.

"Not now!" Nathan enforced. Nathan walked passed the dining room and right passed Haley. Instead of letting it go, Haley needed to talk to Nathan and decided to follow him into the kitchen.

"Nathan come one. I made dinner and we really need to talk."

"Haley, what part of not now don't you get!"

"Maybe the part, when for the past couple weeks you've barely said 2 words to me, and we really need to talk!"

"Fine, talk!" Nathan relented, but still kept the tension in his voice.

"Nathan you've been ignoring me, and I need to know why? You haven't even felt the baby kick."

"I've been busy."

"That's all you have to say?" Haley scoffed. "You've been busy. Well what about me, Nathan? What about when you asked me to move back in with you so that you could take care of me?"

"Haley, I've been taking care of you," Nathan responded trying to defend himself.

"No you haven't. Ever since that one night several weeks ago, you have ignored me! And I can't take it anymore." Haley willed the tears that were forming not to fall, but some how her will was not enough."

"Haley, I've been busy. I've had basketball and school and…"

"You've had basketball!!!" Haley was furious now. "What about me? Basketball is more important than me?"

"Haley.." Nathan knew this stress was not good on the baby and thought it would be best to try and calm her down.

"You know, when you came back I thought maybe just maybe, I should give you a second chance. That maybe you had just made a mistake, and that you really were the guy I fell in love with. But I can see I was wrong," Haley responded while crying.

"Haley.."

"No Nathan, you've said enough, hell you've done enough," with that Haley walked past Nathan. Out the front door away from the one person that could make her world cave in. Again.

Nathan was frozen. His mind told him to run after her, but his feet just wouldn't listen. By the time his feet started moving, and he swung open the door, she was gone. The love of his life was gone.

"Haley!" He yelled hoping that she was still close enough that she could hear him. No luck.

Haley was gone.

Please tell me what you think and review!
