Read on! Review! Love ya :)
Chapter 2: 4 Years, 5 Months, 2 Weeks, 4 Days, and 6 Hours.
"Jamie! Come on we gotta go!" Haley said in her new apartment, she was on her way to teach at the high school having finally gotten her degree, but she needed to drop off Jamie at his uncle Lucas.
"I'm here momma!" Jamie said running up to her with his sweater half on half off. Haley laughed and put down her suitcase helping her son with his sweater.
"You're wearing the sweater again?" Haley said, annoyed.
"Yes! Nathan Scott is the most awesomest basketball player!"
"It's he is an awesome player." Haley said while zipping up the sweater.
"Jamie! Be careful!" Haley said running out after him.
"Nathan! Can you give me a hand here?" Nathan's wife yelled.
Nathan walked to her and saw her tattoo on her back, "23" he smirked at the petty arguments they had about it and how she would never let him get one.
"Nathan, if you would stop looking at my ass for a second can you please come here? I'm too short." His wife said pouting.
"Well Mrs. Scott it is not my fault you got the tattoo."
"Why yes it is Mr. Scott, I wanted to keep you so I had to keep you on your toes." She said turning around and wrapping her arms around him.
"Nathan Royal Scott, we are very busy right now." She said smiling.
"Haley Bob Scott you should've known this would happen." He said leaning down to kiss her softly.
"Okay let's go." She said dragging Nathan to the stairs until he picked her up and practically sped up the stairs closing the door.
"Nathan!" Haley said giggling.
"Nathan! Nathan!" A little girl said, poking his nose.
"What?" He said groaning.
"For a cousin you're not doing very well babysitting me." Lily said plopping down beside him on the bed.
"And for a cousin you're not doing very well in your bedtime. Its 10 PM why are you up?"
"You gave me coffee remember?" Lily said looking at him.
"A little bit!"
"Enough to keep this girl awake!" Lily said. "Can we please go downstairs to get ice cream? Jack said he's delivering them."
"Delivering what? Gelato Ices?" Nathan said chuckling.
"Maybe. . . ."
"Lily!"
"What? Jack loves me!" Lily said with her puppy dog eyes.
Jack was the doorman and the receptionist downstairs in Nathan's apartment.
"So would I with those eyes!"
"So you don't love me?" Lily looked down sadly.
"Let's go Lily Roe." Nathan said taking her hand and walking to the door.
"Uncle Lucas! I wanna watch the game!" Jamie said running past him and into the room.
"Good morning Aunt Peyton!" Jamie said smiling.
"Hi bud! You wanna watch the game right?" Jamie nodded. "All set up in there, all you have to do is press play." Peyton said smiling and adjusting her wedding ring.
Yes she is married to Lucas, Jake left him and Jenny on their own to fend for themselves after admitting he cheated on her and broke off the engagement leaving her heartbroken, Lucas and Brooke were having their own problems and broke off for good, Lucas and Peyton realizing they loved each other more than they had their previous lovers, got married.
Brooke, sad at how fast Lucas moved on fell into the hands of a guy she'd met at a coffee shop one day, Julian Baker.
"So, when are you gonna tell him?"
"What are you talking about?" Haley said grabbing the coffee from Lucas.
"Piranhas!" Lucas said, Haley laughing, "About his father." Haley's smile soon faded.
"What's there to know?" Haley said shrugging.
"That the reason he's so connected to him is because it's his dad, his famous smirk, and why you have pictures in your album under your bed of him." Haley choked on her coffee.
"How do you know that?"
"A little birdy told me." He said chuckling, Haley glaring at him. "You just did!" Lucas said laughing at Haley's face now beet red.
"Maybe I miss him." Lucas looked at her. "Okay A LOT. Not like he misses me. Goodness Luke it's been 4 years! Imagine how pathetic I am and 10 times worse for him! He's got the single life he wanted. Me, I'd just rather stay this way."
"Yeah, 24 and a single mom." Lucas said shaking his head. "Hales you've got to move on."
"I know!" Haley said groaning.
"I see we're talking about Nathan again?" Peyton said smiling and kissing Lucas as she walked to the coffee maker.
"Ughh." Haley said putting her head down on the table. "Can we just please go to work now?" Lucas and Peyton laughed.
"Always and forever!" Lucas and Peyton said laughing at Haley's now furious face.
"You happy now?" Nathan said looking at his 5 year old cousin.
They were on their way to the apartment form the park.
"Mhm." She said happily holding Nathan's hand and walking into the building.
"Scott! A hot number's up there for ya!" Jack said winking.
"Nathan?"
"Hm?" Nathan said looking down at Lily.
"What's a hot number?"
"You'll learn when you're older Lily, but if a man besides your husband calls you that, smack him." Lily nodded and kept eating her gelato. Nathan opened the door into his apartment and he saw Brooke and Julian there cuddling.
"Umm lovebirds? What are you doing here?" Nathan said closing the door. Lily running to the kitchen, "Don't spill anything Lil!"
"I won't! At least," She yelled back. Brooke and Julian laughed.
Brooke and Julian were the only people he kept in contact with, annoyed with the constant cold replies he got when he tried to call any of his friends in Tree Hill.
Brooke also moved to Los Angeles with Julian, tired of everyone talking about how Lucas and Peyton were the most beautiful couple.
"So what's up?"
"We got some news this morning, and since they don't have your phone number, we came to tell you." Brooke said, looking like she was holding back something.
"What?" Nathan said nervously. "Is it Haley?"
"No." Julian said, seeing as Brooke was starting to cry. "Someone else."
Haley and Lucas walked into the school, seeing all the teachers walking around sad and stressed out, some with tear streaks on their face.
"Lucas, Haley. Come here." Skills said pulling them into the athletic office.
"What's wrong with everyone?"
"We got some bad news."
Skills told them, and through the window you could see Haley instantly break down crying.
"When's the funeral?" Lucas said, holding a now puffy faced Haley.
"8 weeks. But everyone who knew him are supposed to come this week for a dinner for him and stay till the funeral."
"Okay." Lucas said. The bell rang and the students walked in. Haley then stood up and straightened herself up. "You gonna be okay?" Haley nodded and started walking to her class.
"Ms. James?" Haley looked up at her sophomore student. "Are you okay?" She nodded.
"Yeah. Umm today, we're going to talk about legacies or symbols in your life, how much you never know that they might slip away," Haley choked up. "How little time you have with someone, who changed your life and taught you something you could never teach yourself."
"And what's that?" A student asked.
"That's what we have to find out Jennifer." She said sitting down. "Our biggest faults in life, whether it deals with trusting people, loving someone, or even seeing that the past is the past and you can stop it."
"Who are those people we go to?" A student said sitting up.
"Michael! Thanks for putting your iPod down!" She said, the class laughing, Michael rolling his eyes, "Someone who you'd never think would have that much of an impact on your life. Like your parents, your coach, your significant other." The class started to chuckle a little. "What? You want me to say your boyfriend, girlfriend?" The class laughed.
"Have you ever had that?"
"What?"
"A love that you'd know would last forever." Haley looked abruptly at the student who asked her the question.
Nathan, of course, father of my child, famous basketball player, and cheater. Of course, and I still love him.
"Yeah, I would like to think so." She said weakly, "Um anyways, you guys have to write at least a paragraph about who you think would be just that." The class groaned. "Hey, English Regents, lots of writing." She said looking at them.
"Will you tell us about your love?" the same person asked.
"He was a basketball player." The guys hooted and she laughed.
"Can you tell us a story?"
"What?"
"Please?" She saw the class pleading, even the boys.
"Fine, but you have the paragraph now an essay due at the end of the week." The class groaned.
"Well, go on then!" The girl repeated. She laughed.
"Okay, umm let's see. Oh! I had just gotten back from work, my first day."
Flashback
"I hate my boss." Haley muttered slumping on the kitchen chair.
"Bad day?" Nathan asked chuckling as Haley took off her shoes.
"Yes! My boss was down my back as I was serving! Then she made me stay an extra hour." She said groaning.
"Sorry babe, but soon you know you'll be able to teach, then we shall go back to Tree Hill, North Carolina." He said smiling while putting some ingredients in a pot.
"Mm, watcha cookin?" Haley said starting to smell the food Nathan was cooking.
"Surprise," Nathan said walking over to his wife and kissing her. He then sat across from her. "Give me your feet."
"Nathan-"
"Haley Bob James Scott, are you rejecting me?" He said gasping heartbroken. Haley laughed.
"Fine, but just to warn you they're the size of Russia." Nathan chuckled and started to rub her feet.
"Oh Nathan." Haley said moaning.
"You shouldn't do that."
"Why?"
"This." He said moving her feet to his zipper.
"Oh." She said laughing.
"Not funny Scott."
"It always will be to me Scott."
"Lucky I'm in love with you."
"The big Nathan Scott? Professing his love? Oh my goodness!"
"Really?" Nathan said laughing.
"You should've heard those girls in the locker room back in high school; you were in love with nerdy tutor girl Haley." Haley said laughing. "A girl plotted to kill me for you or throw me in a ditch somewhere."
"Wow," He said chuckling. "I'd become a widower like Whitey, your it for me Hales." Haley smiled and sat on his lap.
"Thank you Mr. Scott, always and forever." Nathan leaned up.
"Always and forever." He said smiling and kissed her, her arms wrapping around him and his arms around her waist.
"Nathan. Nathan." Nathan grunted and stopped kissing her neck.
"Haley." Nathan groaned.
"What's that smell?" They both looked at the kitchen then back at each other.
"THE FOOD!" They said, Haley getting off Nathan and running to the kitchen him right behind her.
End of Flashback
"We got Chinese that night. And I was banned from the kitchen whenever I got home from work." She said smiling at the memory.
"You dated Nathan Scott?" A boy asked. Haley bit her tongue.
Damn it.
I actually listened to Fefe Dobson and Duffy while writing this. . . .
But umm, yeah lol, that's it for now.
Love, Cassie :)
