Chapter 9
Setting the rooftop.
Everyone looked at Nathan and Brooke. Kissing not knowing there were
other people watching the scene. They all saw it coming. Peyton smiled
but yelled.
P-"Yo Brooke." Brooke broke away from Nathan a little. pissed. She was
pulled out of that moment with Nathan.
B-"What do you want Peyton?"
P-"Just wanted to break up that moment. before it got out of hand."
Brooke blushed.
Nathan pulled himself up. Then held out his hand for Brooke. And pulled
her up. But laced his fingers with hers. And they walked towards the
others.
N-"Haley can I talk to you?"
H-"Sure." Nathan looked over at Brooke.
Brooke had a worried look on her face. maybe he changed his mind.
Nathan leaned down to whisper in her ear.
N-"Hey I love you. I meant it. I just need to talk to her."
B-"How did you know?"
N-"Because I know you."
B-"To well I'm afraid."
N-"I'll come find you later."
B-"Take your time. I think I need some time alone to talk to Peyton."
Nathan cupped her cheek. Then leaned down to kiss her. He pulled back
and winked at her.
He turned to Haley.
N-"Can we talk alone?"
H-"Sure." They walked back inside. Both said nothing. They walked
back into Nathan's room. They both stood in silence.
N-"Haley I'm sorry for what I said to you earlier. I was scared. And
took it out on you."
H-"Nathan it's OK."
N-"No it's not. But I do have to be honest with you. I don't know when
it happened. But I fell in love with Brooke. And maybe a part of me has always been for all of these years, But that doesn't mean I didn't love you. Or care about you. The thought I could lose Brooke scares me to death.
But someone said you can't help who you fall in love with. But you know it in your heart when you do. But I can't lie about it anymore."
H-"Lie about what?"
N-"That for the first time in my life. I found someone I love heart and
soul. The thing that comes to mind. When I felt something change. last
night I felt something was wrong in the pit of my stomach. I may have
found my soul mate. the other half of me."
H-"Nathan I saw it happening last night. That is what scared me the
most. Was losing you to her. But I do know what it's like to have
someone as your best friend, And would do anything for them. cause I
would do the same if it were Lucas. Just like you and Brooke. Lucas and
I know each other. Inside and out know what the other is thinking or
feeling."
N-"Haley that is telling you something. That a person you love could be.
Right under your nose."
H-"What are you saying?"
N-"That the person you are meant to be with. Could be your best
friend."
H-"You are on crack."
N-"No but you have to look at it from every angle. Who is the person
that really knows me. You may have been blind like me."
H-"Well I'm happy for you Nathan I am."
N-"Haley you will find that someone. And you will know. And you may
not have to look far."
Haley turned to Nathan.
H-"Nathan be happy."
N-"At the moment I am happy. And the next I'm angry, scared. I can't
fall apart Brooke needs me."
H-"Nathan It's ok to be scared. Right now everyone is dealing with
what they found out. And we are all scared. But Nathan if things get
rough. lean on your friends. We are all going to help her anyway we
can. She is not going to go threw this alone."
N-"Thanks Haley I needed to hear that."
H-"Now go find Brooke." he leaned down to kiss her cheek.
N-"Thanks Haley." Nathan opened the door to go find Brooke.
