Happy Pi Day everyone!!

Miniscule Rant: I think Nathan should sing Halo in the next episode….remind Haley of everything they've been through and that neither of them are perfect; also to remind Haley that Nathan has changed a heck of a lot.

Anyway, please Read and Review! Naley19, I about had a party when I saw your review, #100! Thank you to everyone who had reviewed, allowing me to get 100 of them! It really does me a lot to me and I don't know any other way to express my gratitude to everyone than to say: Seriously, thank you.

Just out of curiosity have Nathan and/or Haley said "Always and forever" this season?

Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill or any of the characters and such.

Bold face is reality with Haley in a coma, Normal is the dream world, and Italics are the thoughts and memories.

The next installment of the story shall now begin at a cash register with one unhappy teenage rockstar….

To Wish Possible Things #2: Confessions

"I'm here to pick up my boytoy," Haley said in a flat tone to Mouth.

"You sound pretty excited after paying that much money for him," Mouth said as he took Haley's money.

"I don't know what happened. I just had this insane urge to buy him and waste all that money…"

"Sorry Haley, but hey at least it goes to charity. Nathan should be out in a minute."

Just a few seconds later Nathan walked out from the back in khakis and a black polo.

"Where to?" He asked Haley after an uncomfortable silence.

Haley just turned around and waved her hand motioning for him to follow her. Nathan sighed, great she's pissed at me, this is not going to be a good night.

What Nathan couldn't see was the slight smile on Haley's face. She had realized right then that she could get some revenge for his recent behavior towards her.

What neither of them saw though, could completely ruin both of their nights, Red was leering at them evily. Nathan had already taken his money back from her and after being humiliated by Brooke, Peyton, and Haley, she had her own mind set on revenge. She had heard the story of Nathan and Haley enough times to know who exactly to call to get the perfect revenge. She pulled her cell phone out and called the operator to ask for his number.

"Lucas is up next, are you gonna buy him?" Peyton asked her best friend.

"I don't know. I was supposed to spend the whole night with him anyway, but—"

"Wait you had it planned for Haley to end up with Nathan the whole time?"

"Of course I did P. Sawyer, you really think I would buy Nathan Scott and then kiss him at midnight?"

Peyton rolled her eyes, "B. Davis I don't know any decent looking guy you wouldn't kiss."

"That's easy, I wouldn't kiss Jake."

"Smart idea."

Lucas came out on the runway and the bidding began. He was more into it than the year before, but he wasn't as excited as Jake, Nathan, and definitely not Tim.

Brooke smiled slightly as he gave her a small wave. She and Lucas really had grown to be great friends, even though he hurt her twice.

She made up her mind, she was going to buy him.

Dream World Flashback Time!

"Brooke…I can't do this anymore..."

"Lucas, don't—don't you dare!" Brooke heard her voice crack with anguish. "I put so much trust into you, please Luke...don't throw that away."

"This doesn't feel right Brooke…My best friend is across the country, my brother is a wreck, Peyton is still depressed about Jake taking off to find Jenny, my mom is heartbroken by Keith's disappearance, and only God knows where he, the uncle who has always been there for me, is. I just don't feel right concentrating on us right now, I need to be there for Haley, Nathan, Peyton, and for my mom. I'm sorry Brooke."

"What about me Luke? Why is it okay to hurt me, to leave me hanging out to dry?" Brooke was trying her best to hold back the tears, but she was beginning to fail.

"Brooke this is hard enough, you've got to understand."

"You don't have to be a tragic hero Lucas! Haley, Keith, Karen—none of them would want you to sacrifice your happiness." Brooke said. As the tears began to spill out, she ran out of Lucas' room.

Brooke and Lucas had both been single ever since. The next day Brooke had apologized to Lucas saying she understood and he had just stood there wanting to take it all back, but he couldn't. The two had managed to become best friends after that.

"Broody they're making me take you to bed." Brooke called as she walked into Haley's room at the end of visiting hours.

"Oh I think I love this hospital." Lucas said tilting his head back towards the doorway.

"Broody!"

"I'm just kidding Brooke." Lucas brought his head back down, looking over at Nathan, "Take care Nate, get some sleep. I know it's hard, but Haley won't appreciate it when she wakes up to find you dead from exhaustion."

"Yeah, whatever man. Night."

"Night Nate."

Brooke wheeled Lucas towards the elevator, his room had been moved down 2 flights because he was awake and able to move without passing out. While on the elevator Brooke walked in front of his chair and kneeled down.

"I miss you Luke, I miss you a lot."

Lucas was a little shocked at Brooke's sudden confession, but he took it in stride. Lucas decided it was time he did some confessing himself, "I'm sorry for hurting you Brooke. I wish I could take every wrong thing I've ever done to you back."

"Even though we don't have the love Camilla and Whitey had?"

"There is more than just one type of love Brooke. This whole experience has reminded me of that."

"Third time's the charm?" Brooke cautiously asked.

"The third time is definitely the charm."

With that Brooke Davis leaned in and kissed Lucas Scott. They stayed like that until the elevator doors open and she continued to wheel him happily towards his room.

"Where have you taken me?" Nathan asked Haley after staring stupidly at a club with neon lights flashing over its entrance.

"I planned this night for Lucas, you have to remember we do incredibly idiotic things together."

"Like going to a gay strip club?"

"No, like going to karaoke bars with fake IDs," Haley said as she crossed the street. She hadn't so much as looked at Nathan since he had come out of the locker room at the school.

"But you don't drink and Lucas only does occasionally, never with you."

"Yeah, the club only lets in those over 21 so they don't have to card at the bar or censor the song choices. Lucas and I like to make fun of all the drunken people showing off their singing 'talent'."

Once they were in line to get in Nathan asked, "But you never sang here?"

Haley finally made eye contact with Nathan, "Of course not, I had way too many stage fright issues back then."

After a moment's silence Haley asked, "You have your fake ID right?"

"I was at the Boy Toy auction, I had no idea what was in for me tonight. Obviously I brought it."

"Good. Now, I know this is hard for you, but Nathan look tough."

"It's not hard for me to look tough!"

"That's what you think," Haley mumbled when they got to the bouncer.

"Well Miss Trudy, it's been awhile since I've seen you around here," The big bouncer with a goofy grin said to Haley.

"Only a year Mack!"

"Hey, I've only been working here a year and a half!" Mack glanced around her, "Where's you brother anyway? He hasn't come by in a long time either."

"He's had a lot of work recently, so I decided to bring his best friend with me." Haley gestured towards Nathan who was standing behind her protectively.

"Be careful with her, she's feisty!" Mack said to Nathan with a smile still on his face.

Nathan decided Mack wasn't that bad. He smiled in a knowing way, "Oh trust me, I know. You should see her late at night after Dawson's Creek reruns when Joey and—"

"Don't even finish that!" Haley said menacingly.

Mack eyed the pair suspiciously, but with a knowing smile. "Go on inside, Mr.—"

"Simon," Nathan said with a warm smile.

"I need to talk to Miss Gill, but she'll join you in a minute I promise."

Nathan nodded and walked just inside the club to wait.

Mack lowered his voice a little, "So Miss Trudy why didn't you tell me your husband looked like that? Had you told me that I would've known I was just wasting my time, I had no chance."

Haley blinked. "What makes you think he's my husband?"

"Some things are just obvious Miss Trudy," Mack said with a wink as he gestured for Haley to go ahead inside.

Haley slowly walked in and over to Nathan who was now sitting at the bar, a drink already in his hand.

"Do you have to drink something?"

"Why not? I don't have a championship or school tomorrow and I don't have anyone to come home to but my lame ass Dad, I think that's enough reason to have a few drinks."

Haley shook her head, "Why don't you go sing so I can have more reason to make fun of you, Boozy?"

Nathan gave Haley a sarcastic smile, "No." Nathan took a sip from his drink and then asked, "Hey how long have you been coming here?"

"Why do you care?"

"Your ID. It said Trudy Gill, Brooke made that at your bachelorette party."

Haley rolled her eyes. She already knew Nathan's reasoning for asking, "Yes Nathan, I came here after we were married, it was a special place for best friends."

Nathan jumped at a chance to remind Haley that she was the bad one in their marriage. In an accusing tone he stated, "I guess a husband doesn't deserve to know where his wife goes with his brother."

"It was a secret I had with Lucas, okay? It made it seem like how it was before, when it was just us against the world."

Nathan shook his head and took another drink.

"Whatever Nathan, I'm going to dance."

"Go ahead, I don't care," Nathan said. He thought Haley was just going to dance by herself, he should've known better.

Haley walked up to a good looking brown haired guy. "You taken?" She asked seductively.

"Nope," he said with his own sexy grin. Haley swiftly pushed the thought that this guy's grin was no where near as sexy as Nathan's out of her mind.

Nathan wasn't even watching Haley. He was staring at the bar's menu, he was still thinking Haley just went to dance by herself. After all, she wasn't one to dance with someone she didn't know, he was sure.

Haley and the good looking guy started dancing. He rested his hands carefully on her hips as the two began to move to the beat.

Nathan ordered another drink from the bartender and then began to scan the crowd for the single dancers so he could find Haley easily. The problem was he didn't see any single dancers. Nathan's face changed into an expression of confusion.

Haley saw Nathan looking for her and grinned. She got more into the music and the dance.

Nathan saw Haley with the guy and glared. He noticed where the guy's hands were and jealousy started to flow through him. He fought against himself to not automatically clench his fists.

Haley knew the expression Nathan was making; it was his "I'm completely jealous, but I'm trying to hide it and don't think you know that" face. She felt a feeling of satisfaction pass through her, nowhe can know how it feels to know that I don't care anymore.

Haley glanced away from Nathan. Her gaze happened to land on the club's door where she saw two people entering. She realized she knew those people, they were Red and…Chris Keller.

"You need to go Mr. Scott," A nurse told Nathan after Brooke and Lucas had left.

Nathan kept his eyes on the floor. There was no way he was leaving Haley's side, it was his fault she was here, he couldn't abandon her, "No."

"You have been here for days, that's already against hospital policy. You need to go now."

Nathan looked at Haley's face and felt his resolve to stay strengthen. "No."

The nurse walked over to Nathan sitting on the chair. What Nathan didn't know was that this nurse already felt guilty, it was the same nurse Haley had gone to before her accident when she was very sick. She gently, but forcefully, pulled on Nathan's arm.

"Mr. Scott, don't make me call security."

Nathan made eye contact with the woman, his blue eyes burning into her. She could see why another nurse had traded bedpan duty with her instead of doing this.

"That's my wife in this bed. I'm only 17, but I know what love is. I know better than my father, I know better than my mother, I know better than my brother. Love is Haley; life is Haley. Without her I havenothing that matters. How can I leave the most important person in my life in the hands of strangers? How can I be anywhere else knowing she's in the hospital fighting for her life?"

The nurse released Nathan's arm. She realized why all the other nurses who had tried to get Nathan to leave had failed. He was very convincing and very heartbroken, a persuasive combination.

The nurse walked to the doorway and turned around to face Nathan. She said, "I'm turning the lights off. Don't make a noise and you shouldn't get caught."

Nathan nodded at her. The nurse turned the lights off and shut Haley's door. Nathan let the darkness swallow him up, he deserved the dark anyway.

The song ended at the second Haley noticed Chris and Red, so she was able to run away without looking too suspicious.

"Hey, what was your name?" She heard the guy she had been dancing with call after her, but she kept on her path towards Nathan.

"Nathan! Do you want to go somewhere else?" Haley asked tentatively.

With an annoyed tone, Nathan replied, "But we just got here. You looked like you were enjoying yourself just now, why don't you keep enjoying yourself? I bet that guy really appreciated it."

"Haley James!" Haley turned her head, "I'm like your biggest fan!" A girl who looked about 14 said to her.

"Aw thanks, but how did you get in here?"

"Oh, I'm the owner's daughter. I'll keep your secret that you're only 17 if you sing a new song!"

"You're kidding right?" Nathan asked the girl.

"Um, who are you?"

Nathan's expression went flat along with his voice, "Yeah Haley, give the girl what she wants. Go sing a song, that's your whole life right?"

Haley's expression was hard, but her eyes were apologetic to Nathan. She really did love him more than anything while on the tour, she still didn't know why she never talked about him to the press. She nodded and walked to the karaoke stage and announced into the microphone that she was going to do an original song.

"Hi." She said uneasily into the microphone. She had no problem with crowds now, just Nathan. "I'm Haley. I was on tour recently and a fan asked me to sing a new song I've written. I wrote this song late one night on the tour to kind of explain why I left, it's called Leaving Town Alive and I hope you like it."

Haley sat at the bar's piano and took a deep breath. She started to sing as Nathan kept his piercing blue eyes on her.

"Whisper in the waysWatching days and moving on
You wake up every Monday then suddenly it's Sunday and the week is gone."

Nathan listened to the lyrics and kept his eyes on Haley. He wondered if these lyrics represented her thoughts on life in Tree Hill, before she left. If they are, I'm glad she left. She deserves more than a life where she wishes for more.

"So till the morning breaks go and make your mistakes
Don't be surprised at the sunrise
Life is for the living, the forgiven and for leaving town alive."

Nathan started a little at the new line. Maybe part of Haley really did regret leaving and all she wanted was to really live, but still be forgiven. Maybe all Haley wanted was to get out of town with her life still intact, but I couldn't even give her that.

Haley felt Nathan's eyes on her and took a deep breath. The next lyrics were written for him. "Now and then you wonder

Why you're spending all your money
Ain't it funny how she walks on by?
She had you all believing
Now she's leaving for no reason
And you're wondering why"

Nathan blinked. Are those about me? Did she feel bad about me giving everything up for her only for her to leave?

Haley finished the song with the chorus, Nathan barely noticed. His mind was in high-gear, trying to work everything out.

"Thank you!" Haley said into the mic as everyone started to clap for her, she had the best performance ever in the club—granted most performers are drunk.

Nathan waited for Haley to return to him, he was already working out what to say to her. His mind was made up, he was going to finally give her a long overdue apology for his behavior when she left and returned.

Out of nerves Nathan ordered a shot from the bartender and swallowed the burning liquid quickly. He already felt himself loosening up.

Haley slowly made her way to Nathan, afraid of his reaction to her singing. She was concentrating so hard on what she was going to say to him she didn't even see the person in front of her.

"Sorry," She apologized after walking into them.

"Hales—I mean Haley!" Chris Keller greeted excitedly.

"Hey Chris," Haley said nervously. She stood up on her tip toes trying to see Nathan.

"Can we dance? You haven't gotten to hang out with the Keller at all since that day!" Haley was going to turn him down when she looked up into his face and noticed the bruises under his eyes, Nathan had broken his nose.

"Fine," She said shortly. It was a slow song, thankfully, if Nathan saw her grinding with Chris—she didn't want to know what Nathan would break next. "Don't cross any lines though."

"There are no lines for the Keller," Chris smirked as he placed his hands around Haley's waist.

Nathan saw the spiky brown hair and his blood immediately began to boil.It's fine as long as he doesn't see Haley, Nathan kept telling himself, hoping he would calm down. It was actually beginning to work until he saw Haley talking to Chris. She was obviously trying to locate Nathan, but to get to him or to make sure he didn't see their interaction, Nathan didn't know.

Nathan's face sharpened when he saw Chris wrap his hands around Haley.

This time there was no stopping it, his fists clenched. He stood up to interfere, but then he saw a glimpse of Chris' head; a bandage was across the back of his head. He couldn't see it while sitting, but up closer and standing he could see the thin strip of white gauze. Nathan shook his head, if Haley preferred Chris' company so be it.

Nathan returned to the bar and ordered another shot. Despite not wanting to watch, he never took his eyes off Chris and Haley.

"There are now," Haley said as she backed up a little, causing Chris' grip to loosen slightly. She awkwardly placed her hands on Chris' shoulders.

"What, are we in junior high? C'mon Hales, you promised me a dance, not a hobbling practice."

"Chris, these are the terms. I think your last encounter with Nathan would have shown you need to obey them."

Chris visibly paled. He almost asked if Nathan was there, but then he realized Haley wouldn't be stupid enough to go to a Karaoke club with Nathan, a place where live performances were expected Also, the girl who called him, Red or something, hadn't mentioned Nathan at all. He relaxed, "Fine."

As the song from the DJ went on, Nathan grew more and more tense. He had consumed a few more shots when he finally couldn't take it anymore. Nathan glanced up to the empty stage and walked up to the DJ. The DJ nodded and stopped the music when Nathan stepped up to the mic.

"I screw up a lot. This song reminds that even though I screw up, you're the reason I keep on going," Nathan said. He was thankful he had a high tolerance from alcohol or else he could never do this without stumbling off the stage.

"I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you."

Haley's eyes went to the stage to see Nathan staring her down.

"And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you."

Chris' eyes also went to the stage. They grew as wide as saucers. He glanced at Haley and over to Nathan's pleading face. "Oh shit!" He whispered. Immediately, he ran out of the club. Red noticed from the bar and glared at his retreating form.

Haley didn't notice Chris' departure she was concentrating too much on Nathan.

Nathan didn't get to finish the song, the DJ cut the song off half way through the next stanza. Apparently, he wasn't a very good singer.

Haley quickly walked to the bar where she knew Nathan was going as soon as he got off the stage. He wasn't there though. She glanced over to the stairs by the stage to see Red obviously hitting on Nathan.

The (extremely abridged) songs were Leaving Town Alive by Bethany Joy Lenz/Galeotti and The Reason by Hoobastank. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Please Review!
