"ugh I hate these crutches!" Haley grunted as she sat down beside Nathan on the couch.
"C'mon Hales. You get waited on hand and foot by the people you love. I bet it's not that bad."
"Nathan I can barely get dressed on my own. It just sucks."
"Well I could help you with the dressing part." He threw he the infamous Nathan Scott smirk. She pushed him then put her broken leg on his lap. He took he boot off and rubbed her foot gently Making sure he didn't cause her any pain.
"So Hales how long do you think your parents are gonna be here?"
flashback
"Haley James why didnt You tell your own parents you had a boyfriend?"
"Because mom. Mine and Nathan's relationship can't exactly become public. Maybe we do need to tell people though. People probably have their suspicions. We have been caught talking in public. Luckily nothing to affectionate."
"Well me and your mother are supporting you 100 and 10%. We love you and I can see the way Nathan looks at you that he does too. With all his heart. And no matter what people think he will love you." Her dad spoke up smiling over at Nathan who had his arm around her shoulders.
"Thanks daddy. And I love him too." He smiled at her dad then kissed Nathan's cheek.
"Thank your Mr. and Mrs. James. I'm so happy to have your approval. I love your daughter and I'm going to love her for the rest of time. I don't care what anyone thinks about our relationship either. We are 2 years apart and it's not like I'm a teacher. I'm a coach who was in their shoes only 2 short years ago."
End of flash back
"Hales. Haley. Earth to Haley." Nathan said a little bit laughing while waving his hand in front of her face.
"Sorry I was just think back a week ago when my parents told us they supported our relationship. Nathan it makes me so happy to be with you. But I hate hiding it. Yeah it's fun sometimes. But it's hard. You have no idea how much I just wanna stop cheering during the middle of practice and come over and kiss you. It's hard."
"Hales I know it's hard and I do have an idea of how hard it is becuase the same thing happens to me. The guys sometimes catch my staring but don't know who or what at. God why is this so hard. I mean I'm not officially a teacher and we are only 2 years apart. What's the big deal?"
Haley just shrugged her shoulders and laid down with her feet still in Nathan's lap. He always treated her good. Plus her parents were letting her stay at Nathan's till she got better so someone would always be able to help her. She loved her parents for being supportive.
"So I have to go get something from my office. You could come. We will just say you left your purse at practice and when I was putting the bleachers up I found it."
"Alright. But I haven't been to practice. I will say I just got ahold of you because none of your friends would give it to me. This will work Hales."
"Alright. What time do we have to leave? Cause I was gonna get a shower."
"Um well we can leave whenever your ready. I don't have to get the book at and specific time."
"Alright. Well I'm going to get a shower."
They smiled at each other and Haley slowly made her way up the stairs. Nathan watched her to make sure she got up the stairs okay. He would always help her or make sure she got up and down the stairs okay. Sometimes he would wake up in the middle of the night and go check on her. They didn't sleep in the same bed yet so she took the closest guest room.
Haley got upstairs fine. She hobbled into the bathroom on her crutches and had to sit on the toilet to take a brake. She finally got enough strength to start the water. Just as she was about to step in and remembered that she took a shower this morning. So she shut the water off and put her clothes back on. She walked downstairs and Nathan was sitting at the island in the kitched drinking a water and looking at a sports magazine.
"Babe why are you down here? I thought you were gonna take a shower? We don't have to leave right now."
"I remembered that I took one this morning. So I don't need one. So lets go now and get it over with."
Nathan nodded in agreement. He closed the magazine and threw his water bottle away. He smiled at Haley them kisse her head before walking behind her out of the house. It was only about a 10 minute drive from Nathan's house to the school. Luckily no one was outside when they pulled in to see Haley get out of Nathan's car.
They walked in the school and as they were walking down the Hall the bell rang and te students attending school were switching class. No one noticed the 2 walking together and they both thought that was a good thing. They were almost to the locker room door when they heard someone scream, a gun shot. Then complete chaos.
