Fearless (One Tree Hill) (S1)

Chapter 7

I woke up the next morning and smiled because Nathan was still there. I snuggled into him more, which made him chuckle, but then he said that he had to go, but if he could that he would stay the way we were all day, which earned him a kiss. I watched as he put on his shoes and kissed him before he left. I knew that my mom wouldn’t care if he was just now leaving because she knew that he was here last night and knew that he wasn’t going anywhere until he was better. I was glad that I had a mom that understood me and that trusted me.

I got up, showered, got dressed, grabbed my phone and my bag, and headed out to my car. I drove to school and met up with Lucas and Haley, who were talking about Brooke and Peyton, I think. I just ignored their whole conversation until Lucas asked, “Kris, are you happy?”

“Yeah Lucas. I’m happy.” I replied with a smile. Lucas and Haley smiled back before we headed off to class.

After school I went to the café with Haley, and was about to leave when Deb stopped me and said that she was glad that I was with Nathan. I smiled at her, thanked her, and left. I was really happy to hear that at least one of Nathan’s parents like me. I think that Dan likes me, but I’m not 100% sure though.

After tutoring Nathan, I went back to the café because Haley needed me. I tried to help her with posters for the open mic night, but we can’t draw to save our lives, so I decided to call Nathan. We talked for a few minutes before he had to go because of his dad.

“You sure you can handle him?” Haley asked, meaning Dan.

“I think so Haley, but then again, I don’t know. I’m worried that he’s going to turn Nathan back into the asshole that he was.” I replied leaning back against the couch.

Before Haley could reply, she ran out of the café with the fliers in her hands. I watched as she ran to catch up with Peyton, which meant that she was going to ask Peyton to do the fliers for us. I was hoping that Peyton would say yes because that would mean a lot.

Later on that night I was lying in bed and decided to call Nathan just to make sure that he was alright. He hung up on me before I could even finish my sentence. That hurt, but I guess that’s to be expected when he’s around Dan. I went to sleep and woke up the next morning with a grin on my face because Lucas and I were hanging out today.

I got up, showered, got dressed, and went to meet Lucas outside of my house. We were walking to the River Court, when Lucas decided to ask some of the team to join him. We went to Jake’s house first, and found out that he had a daughter. After a few minutes, Jake let me hold her, he told us her name was Jenny, and I couldn’t keep the huge smile that came on my face.

After visiting Jake’s, I didn’t have time to change, so I just wore the outfit that I had on, and went to open mic night. It was pretty cool to hear different people sing. When Jake came in and started to sing, I went into the kitchen and tried to call Nathan. I hung up when Nathan said something from behind me. I hugged him and kissed him. I was happy that he was here.

After a while, Lucas came by, and with the help of me, convinced Nathan to come to the River Court. I went with them, and watched as the team played against each other. It was fun to watch the guys play each other and not have to worry about any of them getting hurt. I know anyone can get hurt, but what I mean is purposely getting hurt. Like the other team elbowing one of them in the nose on purpose.

I went home tonight with a huge smile on my face, and was glad that Lucas and Nathan were finally getting along better. I just hope that it lasts for a lifetime. Well, I’m extremely tired, so goodnight.
