Nathan threw the door open to the apartment going through the mail. He sighed when he saw a letter from Haley. He didn't know why she wasn't letting it go because from what he saw Haley had moved on. He tore the envelope open and pulled the letter out.

Nathan,

I know that what happened between us was horrible but I'm hoping that we can put our past behind us and start over fresh. I love you Nathan and want to be with you. I've had some time to think about what I did to you and I'll admit it wasn't the best but I had to follow my dream and now my dream is to be with you.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you and I'm hoping that you'll come home and start over with me. Please Nathan give us another shot. I know that you're with Brooke but you can't really love her can you? I mean do you love her like you love(d) me? She can't really be the one you need.

Nathan all I want is you to say that you love me and want to give us another shot. There's not a whole lot more I can say to make you come back except I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for hurting you and throwing what we had away for some music tour. Come home Nathan so we can be together.

Haley

Nathan was beyond pissed at Haley. How dare she say that Brooke wasn't the one he needed! How dare she apologize then want him to come home! Boston was his home now and he was going to live with Brooke. Brooke was more than Nathan could ask for right now while he was dealing with the divorce and his parents divorce that all he wanted was someone to be there for him. He didn't know exactly how far his feelings for Brooke went but he knew that he still wanted to be with her and together they can make it through it anything. He decided against answering Haley's letter but decided to call her. She needed to hear from his mouth that they were over. He sat on the couch and dialed her number.

"Hello?"

"Haley it's Nathan."

"Oh Hi!" She answered her voice perkier then when she first answered. "What's up?"

"First off how dare you say that Brooke's not right for me because you don't know anything about her, second I'm not coming back my life is here not in Tree Hill, third saying sorry won't fix what you did and didn't do, and fourth it's over Haley you need to grasp that fact. Had you written that letter 3 months ago then I would have been happy to give things another shot but it's too late what happened between us is over."

"Nathan please." She pleaded and he sighed.

"No Haley you need to stop dragging this on and on. Please sign the papers so we can move on with our lives."

"No Nathan we still have a chance."

"No Haley we don't! You have your music and I have my life with Brooke so there's not a chance for us."

"Nathan you can't really say that you actually love her?"

"Why is it so hard for you to believe that I might actually love her and want to be with her?"

"She's Brooke Davis, she breaks guy's hearts like no tomorrow and she sleeps with anything that moves. Look at what she did to Luke."

"I can't believe that you just said that! News flash Hales Luke broke Brooke's heart by sleeping with Peyton not the other way around and so what she's Brooke Davis? She's not the same girl she was in Tree Hill. You don't know her and that's because you don't want to get to know her. It's people like you that made her leave."

"Why'd you go with her?" Nathan ran his hand through his hair as Brooke walked in with groceries.

"I went with her because she was just like me. She needed an escape from all the pain and damn drama. She offered me a fresh start away from everything and I agreed. I went with her because for once she was being the real Brooke Davis that actually has feelings."

"Nathan just think about coming back."

"No Haley my mind's made up. You and I are through and you need to realize that." He hung up and put his head in his hands sighing. Brooke sat next to him and put a hand around his shoulders.

"Hey you look like you're having a bad day."

"Yeah my mom called and said that you and I have to come home for Christmas and then the whole Haley drama."

"What'd she do this time?"

"She wants to start over and be together and I can't do that. I loved her but then fell out of love with her and then she started attacking you and I got pissed."

"You didn't have to stick up for me."

"Yes I do, if they would only see you for who you are they wouldn't talk about you."

"That was sweet."

"I know I'm buttering you up so you say that you'll go home with me for Christmas."

"I guess since your mom wants you home we can go for Christmas."

"You're the best."

"Now what are we doing for Thanksgiving?"

"I wanna hang out here with you and do absolutely nothing." She smiled and put her head on Nathan's shoulder.

"What are we gonna eat?"

"Do you really want to try and make a real Thanksgiving dinner?" She shook her head no laughing at the thought of them actually trying to make something.

"No we would burn the whole apartment down."

"So we have something we know we can make."

"Breakfast?"

"I don't know yet I have 2 days to figure it out." She yawned and laid her head in Nathan's lap. "Rough day at work?"

"Yes Heather didn't come into work so I was alone for 4 hours and like 3 people came in."

"I'm sorry."

"It was so horrible." She yawned again and Nathan pulled a blanket over and turned on a movie.

"So just relax and take a nap." She soon drifted off to sleep and Nathan thought about what to make them for Thanksgiving. It was going to be a nice relaxing drama free Thanksgiving just what Nathan wanted.
