AIM RP Thread// Haley & Nathan; Nathan Knows
HotterScottBro: Nathan walked towards Haley's room as he saw Peyton angrily leave it. Confused, he walked in to find a pillow lying on the ground. He picked it up and walked over to Haley. "Everything okay?" he asked softly.
JustHaley23: Haley's head lifted up and her eyes were puffy and red from crying. No, not now.. please She said in her mind. She was upset enough. She couldn't be upset anymore after she told him about Chris. Thinking about it made her cry more. She just shook her head in repsonse to his question.
HotterScottBro: Nathan put the pillow down on the chair next to Haley's bedside and sat beside her, holding her close and stroking her hair as she cried.
JustHaley23: "Nathan.... you're going to hate me...and him.." She started to say, crying harder and holding on to dear life afraid he was going to stop loving her after what she had to tell him.
HotterScottBro: "Him?" he asked, even more confused than before. "What are you talking about? Who him?"
JustHaley23: Haley lifted her head and found it hard to look into his eyes. "I have to tell you something, Nathan....but you have to promise me you won't take it out on him.." She said. "Take it out on me...okay?" She cried, feeling her heart crack.
HotterScottBro: "Take what out on you?" he whispered softly, his brow furrowed.
JustHaley23: "Nathan... Chris has been coming to see me here.. in the hospital.." She started out watching his expression.
HotterScottBro: Nathan bit the inside of his cheek but didn't say anything, waiting for her to continue.
JustHaley23: "The first time, he came to see me, I was put on so much medication, I didn't know what was going on, but I remembered....he kissed me.." She teared up again. "Last night, he came to see me again...and I asked him about it...at first.. he said he didn't..that he wouldn't do that again...but I could tell..he wasn't being honest..then he told me the truth...and... I think...I think he has feelings for me, Nathan.." She broke it to him slowly. She saw the look he was getting and immediatly got scared. "Nathan, please don't take it out on him. Take it out on me. I promised him I would keep the conversation between us.. but.. I knew I had to tell you..but I was so scared .." She said quickly.
HotterScottBro: Nathan stood up and walked over to the wall, placing his hand on it and resting his forehead against his hand, trying to get a clear grip on everything Haley was telling him.
JustHaley23: Haley watched him and bit her quivering lip as tears were flowing down her slendor cheeks. "Nathan, I'm sorry..." is all she could manage to say through her tears.
HotterScottBro: Nathan took a deep breath before turning to look at her again. "You know, I was finally getting used to him being around, I was going to pay him with what little money we had to have him help you with your music since now you're going to have a lot of free time from cheerleading and he goes and pulls this crap? Kissing you and-and making you think he has feelings for you and then forcing you to keep it a secret from me?"
JustHaley23: "What?" She asked, not knowing about him hiring Chris again. "Nathan, I told you, I was done with music..." She couldn't believe that he was the reason why Chris came back. "He didn't force me to do anything... I told him I would keep it a secret....but in my heart I couldn't keep it from you...anyone else, sure, but you.. I couldn't..." She shook her head. "He confided in me Nathan, just like you did.. when we first met. He opens up to me more than he does to anybody else and I don't want to lose his trust. He is a friend, Nathan..... so please... take this out on me. Yell at me, tell me you hate me.. hit me.. I don't care...just take it out on me because I'm the reason he did it.." SHe cried begging Nathan to take it out on her. Sure she'd hate the consequences but she didn't want to get Chris in trouble. They were just starting to become friends.
HotterScottBro: He shook his head. "No, I can't take it out on you. Do you know why? Because it would hurt me more than it would hurt you," he told her quietly. "If I even just looked at you with the intention of physically hurting you, I would hurt myself, I would feel worse than I've ever felt in my entire life, even compared to when you went on tour with him. I just... I just can't believe you're letting him do this, you're letting him worm his way into your personal life, I can't, Haley. After everything he's done, everything he's said, you're still willing to let him in. And I can't allow that to happen, Haley. I can't. Because even though yeah, you had to give me a second chance, this would be more than just his second chance and its one he doesn't deserve, one he hasn't earned, it's one he's forcing upon you by kissing you and making you think this way. So if you choose to be his friend, I can't just look the other way, Haley, but I'm not going to hurt you physically either and I'm not going to yell at you. The only one who I'll be hurting is him."
JustHaley23: Haley lowered her head and cried. She didn't know what else to say to him. She put her hand on her forehead and let it out. SHe was all sorts of scared and confused and broken. She was going to lose a good friend of hers and it hurt her a little bit. "Don't hurt him...please.." SHe managed to whisper, not looking at him.
HotterScottBro: Nathan dropped his hand from the wall, his jaw dropping in disbelief. "What exactly are you saying, Haley? Do you want to be with him or something? Is that it?"
JustHaley23: Haley looked up at him in disbelief. "What? Nathan, No! How could you ask me something like that.. again? It really hurts ti know you think that.." She cried some more. "I just want this to be forgotten, Nathan. It's not worth jumping down Chris' throat about it... that's all" She tried to reason with him, knowing she'd lose.
HotterScottBro: "So... you're telling me that if I went home and Rachel came by, asked me how you were, kissed me, and then gave me the impression that she's in love with me and I told you, you'd want it all dropped?" Nathan asked in angry disbelief.
JustHaley23: "I'd be angry.. yes.. I would be so angry at her but I would know.. as long as I know.. that you didn't have the same feelings towards her.. and that you'd stay with me.. that's all that would matter to me. As long as I had you, I wouldn't care about anything else" SHe said meaning ful, tears twinkling her eyes.
HotterScottBro: Nathan rolled his eyes at the ceiling. "You know what, Haley, what gets me is that... I don't even know how you could have let him kiss you. Hell, if it were me, the only way I would ever let Rachel come that close to me would be if I for some reason was hallucinating and thought it was you. That is the only reason I would let any girl kiss me."
JustHaley23: "Nathan! I was drugged up! I didn't know what was happening!" She rose her voice, pleadingly. "You know that if I wasn't, I would even had let him come that close to me! You know that!" She said, watching him. She felt defeated.
HotterScottBro: "How can I know that, Haley?" he practically shouted. "You couldn't even tell me right away! What, did talking to Peyton and having some sort of fight with her based on the way I saw her walking down the hall force you into telling me? Were you planning on keeping this a secret from me for years to come?"
JustHaley23: "NO! I wasn't! I was going to tell you! I was going to tell you soon! I asked Peyton because I confided in her....She basically bitched me out that I should tell you and I already knew I should.. god.. Nathan.." SHe lowered her head in definite defeat. " I had to know for sure.. if CHris did kiss me.. and I found out.. last night and I told you now...what else do you want from me, Nathan?" She asked quietly.
HotterScottBro: "I want you be able to tell me things as soon as they happen, to tell me things as soon as you find them out, I just want you to tell me things as soon as you next see me without fear that I'm going to hurt you!" Nathan said, tears in his own eyes now, feeling as though his wife couldn't trust him.
JustHaley23: " I didn't...know for sure..." She broke down quietly. She could feel his vibe of her not trusting him. The fact was, she trusted him with her life. With everything she had. She looked up at him to find him slightly crying. SHe hated seeing him this way. "Nathan, you acting like I don't trust you, but the truth is, I trust you with my life, my soul... our baby... and if it takes me getting out of this hospital bed to show you, I will." She said, her eyes stinging frmo her tears. She brought her hand over the blanket and pulled it off. She then moved her painful legs to the side of the bed and lifted up so that she was standing. She looked at him and tried her best to walk over to him and comfort him.
HotterScottBro: "Don't," Nathan choked out, walking over to her and holding her so he was her support and didn't have to rely soley on herself and lack of complete strength.
JustHaley23: "No, Nathan. I meant every word.." She said, slightly pushing him away until she had her balance. She looked up into his teary blue eyes and she placed a hand on his cheek. " I love you, I do" She whispered, finishing tears rolling down her cheek. "And I will do everything I can to prove to you that I do." She sighed and thought for a moment before saying, "I'll-I'll stop being friends with Chris. If that is what you want. I'll stop all ties with him."
HotterScottBro: Wrapping his arms tightly around her he whispered, "Just... tell me next time, okay? I can't stand the idea of you two sneaking around even just as friends, not after last year."
JustHaley23: Haley felt so relieved that he was holding her. She closed her eyes as she held him tighter. " I promise you, Nathan. I will" She responded.
HotterScottBro: "And letting me punch him once or twice wouldn't hurt either," he murmured lightly, trying to grin for her sake.
JustHaley23: Haley managed to smile a little as she pulled back to look at him. "I think you had enough of that after the whole gambling issue" She smirked slightly.
HotterScottBro: "Yeah but one more punch wouldn't hurt. Well, it wouldn't hurt me at least."
JustHaley23: Haley laughed a little. "Of course it wouldn't hurt you. You wouldn't be the one recieving it"
HotterScottBro: He nodded, breathing in the scent of her hair, not caring that it smelled like a hospital instead of how it usually did. "You should really get back into bed before the doctor kills us both," he whispered.
