"Well, what about you, Jo?" "Me? I'm not playing this stupid game." "Oh, come on, Jo. Be a good sport."

nathan  knew  the  they  had  been  best  friends  since,  well,  forever.  so  the  last  thing  he  wanted  to  do  was  to  cause  any  unwanted  or  unneeded  tension  between  them.  he  knew  better  than  to  go  ahead  and  do  something  like  that.  he'd  like  to  think  he  was  good  at  keeping  a  secret  or  two  if  he  needed  to.  ❝  sorry,  sorry.  yeah.  i'm  alone.  there's  no  one  here,  why?  ❞  he  then  gave  brooke  a  look  when  she  stated  that  they  needed  to  talk.  it  was  quite  obvious  he  knew  what  it  would've  been  about.  he  then  let  the  door  shut  once  brooke  walked  into  his  place  and  he  listened.    ❝  okay.  done  and  done.  it  won't  be  repeated.  who  would  i  even  begin  to  tell  that  to?  i  didn't  plan  on  even  saying  a  word  anyway.  there's  no  way  i  would  tell  peyton.  our  fights  were  enough  when  we  were  together.  i  don't  think  i  need  to  witness  that  happening  again  now  even  when  we're  not.  ❞  their  secret  was  safe  with  him.  it  wouldn't  get  out.  no  one  would  be  hearing  it  from  him.    nathan  never  really  thought  about  brooke  much  until  what  happened  between  them.  now  that  he  thinks  about  it  .  .  .  brooke  is  pretty  hard  to  forget  about. there's no denying it.

brooke didn't even want to imagine what peyton was going to think. especially since the two were always fighting lately. whether it be about peyton's feelings for lucas or just her random mood swings. brooke couldn't handle another fight and that was why she was going to make sure nathan kept his mouth shut. not that it would matter anyway because they were broken up. and neither time were lucas and brooke broken up when peyton hooked up with him. and it's not like nathan and brooke even liked each other. they were both really drunk one night and it happened. finally he decided to open the door and it felt forever since brooke had been knocking. she was in no mood to deal with his jokes right now especially since they weren't even funny. ❝ nathan, that isn't funny. we need to talk. you're alone, right? ❞ brooke quickly made her way inside without waiting for nathan to invite her in. she turned around to look at him, waiting for him to close the door. ❝ you know that thing that happened between the two of us, it didn't. you can't repeat it. and you can't tell peyton. especially not peyton because she would freak out and i don't want to deal with another pmsing episode. ❞ if she was being honest, she was happy that it had happened. she always liked nathan but never thought anything of it because he was either with peyton or with other random cheerleaders.

blair  felt  as  though  nate  had  entirely  caught  her  off  guard  with  this.  there  was  no  doubt  in  her  mind  that  she  still  had  feelings  for  him.  how  could  she  not?  on  the  other  hand  he  left  her  to  go  and  deal  with  his  family  things  and  then  there  was  the  whole  thing  with  serena  too.  how  could  she  know  that  he  meant  it  this  time?  would  it  be  any  different  than  their  past?  those  were  the  thoughts  going  through  blair's  mind  right  about  now.  she  could  hope  that  he  meant  what  he  was  saying;  that  he  truly  wanted  to  be  with  her  and  wouldn't  just  up  and  leave  her  alone  again.   ❛❛  seems  urgent  then  for  you  to  make  your  way  here  ...  i  suppose  i'll  hear  you  out.  make  it  quick, nate. ❜❜  the  brunette  wasn't  quite  sure  that  she  could  deal  with  the  hurt  he  caused  her.  not  yet.  not  ever  again.   ❛❛  you  ....❜❜  she  paused  and  was  full  of  questions.  maybe  she  was  really  bad  at  putting  on  a  front  in  front  of  him.  she  wouldn't  be  the  queen  bee  for  nothing,  after  all.  blair  really  wanted  to  understand  what  it  took  to  get  him  to  finally  realize  how  he  felt.  was  it  time  that  he  needed  or  what?  she  wanted  to  kick  him  out.  to  tell  him  to  get  lost  and  just  to  forget  whatever  he  had  to  tell  her  because  she  didn't  want  to  hear  it.  but, she didn't do that. at one point in time blair  was  willing  to  do  anything  for  him  and  then  he  was  gone.  and  it  stung.  soon  enough  she  muttered  the  only  question  she  wanted  a  true  and  real  answer  to.   ❛❛   you  realized  that  you  love  me  now?  ❜❜    blair  stared  down  at  their  hands  before  her  gaze  met  nate's  once  more  when  she  heard  him  say  that  he  loved  her  ;  she  was  stunned. confused. conflicted.  so many emotions running through her all at one time. blair  loved  him.  there  was  a  soft  spot  in  her  heart  for  him  still  even  if  she  pretended  like  it  wasn't  there  to  mask  her  hurt.  even with that, she didn't want to rule it out entirely.   ❛❛  then,  i  need  to  know.  before  i  consider  giving  us  another  chance.  if  we  even  have  one.  how  would  i  know  this  would  be  the  real  deal?  ❜❜

nate had hurt blair in more ways than one and now he wanted to make it up to her. he had left her on her own birthday which was a tough pill to swallow. but he didn't know where his head was at then. and he didn't want a relationship with someone based on what his family wanted for him and that was probably why he had left her to begin with. but now he realized that he truly did love blair. that was probably why he couldn't be with serena even after telling blair the truth about them. he had every opportunity to leave. he didn't have to stay with blair but it was more than that. he realized that he did love her. that he was in love with her after all that time. the question was now - would she take him back and believe him? after dorota informed him that he could go upstairs, he felt nervous. more nervous than he had ever been in his life. she probably would kick him out before he even got the chance to tell her what was on his mind. he saw her for the first time since their break up and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. he knew blair better than anyone else and he knew when she was putting up a front and when she wanted to get rid of someone. in this case, it had been him because he knew she couldn't be busy. ❝ i'm sorry for bothering you, blair. but what i have to tell you couldn't wait. i couldn't wait. ❞ he sat at the edge of the bed, reaching out for her hand. ❝ i made a mistake, blair. when i broke up with you, i made a mistake. i was dealing with my family and it had nothing to do with you. i wanted to finish dealing with that before i gave us a proper chance. a chance that you deserve and through all of that, i realized that i love you. and i always will. do you think you could give me another chance? ❞

kelly  knew  that  what  the  two  did  to  brenda  was  wrong.  she  hated  knowing  that  brenda  would  be  hurt.  at  the  same  time  she  couldn't  help  her  feelings  for  dylan.   that  didn't  mean  that  it  made  it  right.  in anyway. it  wasn't  right.  it  wasn't  something  you  do  to  a  friend. kelly  should've  known  better.  dylan  should  also  have  known  better.  since  the  chance  presented  itself  for  the  two  to  possibly  work  through  their  friendship  she  wanted  to  do  her  best  to  make  sure  that  they  tried.  if  nothing  else,  that  was  all  that  mattered  most.  that  maybe  their  friendship  could  get  back  to  some  kind  of  normalcy in someway; especially if  it  wasn't  entirely  the  same  again.  the  blonde  hated  that  she  let  a  boy  come  between  them.  no  matter  what  her  feelings  were  for  dylan  she  never  should  have  let  them  overpower  her  friendship  with  brenda.  she  actually  valued  her  friendship  since  the  beginning.  then  she  went  and  ruined  it all so quickly. it's  been  one  of  her  biggest  regrets  since  it  had  happened.    ❛❛  oh no,  it  hasn't  been  too  long.  i  just  got  here  like  not  even  five  minutes  before  you  did.  i'm  glad  you  came,  though.  how  is  everything?   ❜❜  it  felt  weird  to  be  asking  these  questions.  what  felt  even  weirder  now  was  the  fact  that  the  two  haven't  talked  much  or  seen  eachother  since  the  whole  dylan  thing  went  down.

ever since brenda found out what kelly and dylan did to her, she wasn't the same person anymore. it took her months to get over the hurt and despair and it still wasn't completely gone. her feelings for dylan weren't completely gone and they probaly would never be. he was the true love of brenda's life and she would always feel that way. but this wasn't about dylan. this was about the friendship that brenda and kelly were trying to fix. would they ever be the best friends that they used to be? the ones that would talk on the phone for hours, go shopping together and even hang out on the weekends at each other houses. brenda honestly didn't know but she was going to try. kelly had apologized for what she had done and neither one of them were with dylan now. there could have been a chance where the two could bring back the friendship that they used to have. brenda walked in the peach pit and smiled when she heard her friend call her and she quickly walked over to the table. ❝ hey kel! have you been waiting here long? ❞ she sat down in the booth across from where her friend was sitting.

he  had  a  good  point  there.  she  was  sure  that  he  would've  been  able  to  give  a  good  opinion.  but  then  again?  when  did  nathan  scott  become  an  expert  on  fashion?  brooke  took  this  seriously  as  it  was  about  to  be  her  lifelong  business  that  she  would  have  to  maintain  here.  especially  something  that  she  was  quite  passionate  about.  as  he  was  when  it  came  to  basketball.  ❛❛  i'm  not  denying  that  your  company  is  great.  you  are  one  of  my  good  friends,  after  all.  so  it  looks  like  you're  stuck  with  me  now.  ❜❜ brooke  shrugged  when  nathan  said  that  he  didn't  know  when  haley  would  be  returning.  she  then  plopped  onto  the  couch  and  laughed  a  little  at  his  comment.  ❛❛  water  would  be  perfect,  actually. . .  just  trying  to  figure  out  what  i  should  add  next  or  keep  out.  who  knew  that  running  a  business  or  trying  to  get  one  off  the  ground  would  be  this  hard.  so, i don't think that having an outside opinion would be so bad, after all. ❜❜

they were friends, good friends even. and brooke was one of the few people that could relate to some of the things he had gone through. “my company is great,” he replied, grabbing a bottle of water, looking over at brooke. “but no, i’m not sure on when she’s gonna be back,” he replied, taking a drink of the water. “you can wait, and see that i’m great company,” he said, “i can offer you some water.” a laugh left his lips, “you do know you can ask me, i might not be the best at fashion but i can tell you if something looks good or not. at least i think i can.”

haley  couldn't  help  but  be  insanely  proud  of  nathan  whenever  he  was  playing  a  game.  it  was  extremely  important  to  her  to  try  and  be  as  supportive  of  him  and  his  own  dreams  as  much  as  she  could.  she  could  see  how  much  he  loved  the  game  and  how  good  he  was  at  it.  and  so  could  everyone  else.  it's  hard  to  not  be  able  to  see  it  when  it  comes  to  the  star  player  of  the  ravens  team.  in  her  eyes  he  could  never  do  any  wrong.  whether  he  won  or  he  lost  the  plus  side  to  all  of  that  was  the  fact  that  he  would  at  least  have  haley  at  his  side  whenever  he  needed  her.   ❛❛   now  you  can  absolutely  consider  that  someone  quite  impressed.  how  could  she  not  be?  i  was  rooting  for  number  23  as  it  is,  you  know.  ❜❜ all  of  nathan's  hardwork  was  finally  starting  to  pay  off  now  and  it  was  nice  to  see  that  happening.  he  was  good  at  what  he  did  and  he  always  gave  it  his  all.  no  matter  what.  and  especially  under  all  of  the  pressure  he  was  put  under  to  make  sure  he  succeeded.  and  to  her?  he  was  able  to  do  just  that.  ❛❛   oh,  i  figured  you'd  be  hungry  afterwards!  ❜❜  haley  responded  knowingly.  ❛❛ yeah,  you've  got  a  good  point.  you  don't  need  any  extra  energy.  but  hmm..  what  about  pizza?  burgers?  ❜❜  she  suggested.  ❛❛   karen's  cafe  is  probably  still  open.  we  can  try  to  swing  by  there  if  you  want?  ❜❜  she  figured  going  there  may  have  been  slightly  more  ideal  than  going  further  out  to  try  and  find  an  open  restaurant  at  this  time  of  the  day.

there was something about playing when he knew that haley was watching. he couldn’t put his finger on what it was, he wasn’t just showing off, he was actually playing a good game. it had been a long time coming, and he knew that people counted on him, and with haley’s support it was a lot easier to live up to those expectations, it wasn’t like having dan breathing down his neck, telling him every single thing he did wrong. “i had someone i needed to impress,” he replied with a smile. 

the court was always home, a place he knew what he was supposed to do, and when he could play, and have fun, it was easy to see how good of a player he was. he smiled at her. “you should know by now that I’m always hungry after a game or practice,” he replied, “I think we should skip the coffee I don’t need that kind of extra energy right now, but something to eat. any suggestions?”

there  was  a  lot  that  happened  between  the  two.  there  was  no  denying  the  fact  that  their  relationship  was  going  down  a  rocky  path  right  now.  but  there  was  one  thing  that  nathan  did  know.  in  spite  of  everything  that  happened  and  ended  up  transpiring;  he  truly  did  love  her.  even  if  he  was  upset  or  angry  with  her  in  that  specific  moment  that  didn't  mean  that  there  wasn't  apart  of  him  that  still  deeply  loved  her.  they  have  been  through  stuff  before  and  it  genuinely  made  him  hesitate  again  when  it  had  came  to  his  feelings.  he  knew  that  if  they  really  tried  that  their  marriage  still  stood  a  chance.  they  didn't  go  through  everything  they  had  up  to  this  point  for  no  reason,  right?  there  had  to  be  something  that  was  worth  fighting  for  here.  he  wanted  to  believe  in  that.  he  had  to. always  and  forever  couldn't  just  mean  nothing  all  of  a  sudden.  could  it?  he  heard  footsteps  approaching  the  gym  while  he  was  finishing  practice  and  assumed  that  it  was  probably  one  of  his  teammates.  nathan  then  picked  up  his  gym  bag  to  exit  and  head  home  for  the  evening.  he  needed  to  think  and  get  some  much  needed  rest  for  the  next  day  after  all  of  the  practice  he  was  made  to  do  today.  it  came  as  a  surprise  to  him  when  it  wasn't  actually  one  of  his  teammates  and  it  was  haley  who  was  now  in  front  of  him.  ❛❛   haley.   ❜❜  he  spoke  in  a  soft  tone  of  voice.  he  wasn't  actually  sure  how  he  should  react  or  what  should've  been  said  first.

it felt like a nightmare that haley couldn't wake up from no matter what she did. she was back in tree hill but she felt like she was miles away from home. talking to nathan the night before, before he left for high flyers, she had told him how she felt. hoping that somehow she would be able to stop him but she couldn't. there wasn't a day where my heart wasn't with you in tree hill. there was never a moment where i loved singing or performing more than i loved you. haley couldn't blame nathan for taking off and going after his dream especially since she had taken off with chris and went on tour for months leaving him alone and possibly almost getting himself killed because of her. could she really be selfish now? i'm leaving in the morning and unlike you, i'm taking my heart with me. those words had cut her like a knife. she didn't blame him for being mad at her. but did his words really have to hurt her this much? after a few months that passed, haley was living in the apartment with brooke, their old apartment. but she didn't know nathan was back not until lucas mentioned it on his way over to seeing brooke. she knew he was probably still mad and didn't want to see her. but they needed to fix their marriage. at least she needed to know where they stood. she made her way over to the school gym and hoped that he at least would talk to her.

" i can handle things on my own . " conrad makes no movements , body still as he stares over at his ex - girlfriend from his spot . his expression could easily read as cold but he was heartbroken through and through . even seeing her right now was killing him . what was he supposed to do ? tell her that so she'll just up and leave ? no , he'd continue to suffer through it in silence . " everybody would have been much better off if you and jere just stayed where you were . i was handling this . "

jeremiah would call him out on his martyr complex and maybe he'd be right . but isn't that what everyone made him ? for so long he'd been told by susannah and adam — laurel , that he was the oldest and was to take care of everyone else . this was what was expected of him , wasn't it ? the weight of the world resting heavy on his shoulders with no room to lift it off and relax . he was the one who had to fix this for everyone and he had to do it on his own . he had to save the last piece of his mom that he and jeremiah had left . he had to make her proud . " i take it that means you're staying ? "

their  relationship  may  not  have  been  the  one  that  lasted  for  long.  but  she  did  care  about  nate  for  the  duration  of  the  time  that  they  were  together.  even  if  he  had  thought  she  didn't.   or if she made it difficult for the two to be able to be together. blair didn't  even  understand  herself  how  she  was  so  forgiving  towards  him  in  the  past  when  she  probably  should've  just  ran  and  cut  him  loose  back  then.  would  it  even  be  worth  giving  him  a  shot  now?  after  it  all?  he  left  her  for  his  own  reasons  to  begin  with.  blair  waldorf  was  not  the  type  of  girl  to  sit  around  and  wait  for  a  boy  to  decide  if  and  when  he  wanted  her.  or if they even LOVED her, for that matter. they  either  treated  her  well  or  they  were  gone.  when  it  came  to  nate,  it  was  surely different.  it  was  more  than  too  late.  wasn't it? then  again  ...  as she gave it more thought ... would  she  be  throwing  away  a  good  thing?  were  they  meant  to  be  this  time?  could  it  truly work out for real?  the  brunette  was  entirely  unsure  but  maybe  it  was  actually worth  a  shot.  it  must  be  the  nate  archibald  effect.  she  was  willing  to  give  one  more  chance , if anything.  if  this  was  the  last  one,  then  that  meant  no  more  would  come  after  this.  dorota  had  informed  her  of  a  guest  and  blair  looked  up  from  her  magazine  she  was  reading  and  told  her  to  let  them on up.  unknowingly,  to  her,  that  someone  was  about  to  be  nate.  ❛❛   i'll have you know that i'm very busy. so, whatever it is ... let's just get it over with now. ❜❜

ever since he could remember, nate's family had been controlling him. his every move. especially where it came to relationships and his relationship with blair. they had been together since they were kids and he had come to realize that it had been his parents who had wanted him with blair. so naturally he broke up with her because it didn't see it right that he should stay with her only because of his family. and that was true. but the minute blair stopped showing interest in him and in their relationship, he seemed to be having it for her. he felt like such a jerk for breaking up with her and realized now that he did love her but it was his family's business deals that crowded his judgment. he thought it was time to go to blair's and let her know how he truly felt. he just hoped it wasn't too late that he was confessing his true feelings for the only girl he's ever had them for.

serena  turned  her  head  around  quickly  when  she  heard  someone  call  out  her  name.  when  she  looked  back,  she  then  noticed  that  it  had  been  nate.  nate  archibald  who  was  calling  out  to  her.  it  was  entirely  unexpected.  she  was  just  planning  on  going  home  for  the  evening  and  was  thinking  nothing  of  it.  definitely  wasn't  planning  on  running  into  him  of  all  people  right  this  minute.  the  last  thing  that  should've  happened  between  the  two  of  them  was  any  kind  of  a  fling  at  all  while  he  was  still  with  blair.  that  was  his  girlfriend  and  she  was  her  best  friend.  the  blonde  didn't  want  to  ruin  it  right  now.  it  was  the  way  things  were  just  supposed  to  be.  ❛❛  oh,  nate ...  hi.  i didn't even know you were here. ❜❜ serena  responded  quickly.  almost  as  if  more words  were  caught  in  her  throat  at the moment and  she  was  slightly  nervous  about  it.

he couldn't believe it. after all that time, serena was back. the love of his life was back. what was he supposed to say now? how would he act around blair? did she have any clue? all he knew was that blair could never find out the truth about the way nate lost his virginity. but now all he wanted was to talk to serena. find out if maybe after all the time that had passed that she might have come back for him. maybe it was wishful thinking on his part but at least it was worth a true. leaving the building, he spotted serena outside. this was his chance. he felt like his heart was about to explode and here was the reason why. ❝ serena. ❞ was all nate archibald was able to say and the rest would now be up to her the beautiful blonde standing right infront of him.
