Even though I got into trouble ... or almost did because of this. There's a trend. And I'm not really one who likes feeling left out. So, I'm doing my list. Haley knows where she stands. And to be honest, I've never sat down and tried to count it out.

A list of people who I've loved

- Haley James Scott

Lets101 - free dating

You know, without the quiet part.

She used to be hooked on pain pills. She used to date one of my good friends. She makes a great grandmother and nanny. I've underestimated her on more than one occasion. She tried to kill my father. At first, she was against Haley and me marrying but eventually, she warmed up to it and now she loves Haley. Apparently, she trolls the internet. I guess you could call her a cougar. She really could get her own reality show.

What else.

Her name's Deb. Sometimes I call her Deb, other times Mom. It's just how our relationship is. She's really proud of me and even now, she encourages me.

I think she screwed a clown at Jamie's birthday party this year.

She's not your average mother or for that matter grandmother.

She's Deb. She's marches the beat of her own plastic surgery enhanced drummer. Right, right. She sort of got a, a thing done. Her boobs. Them, I guess. Not a thing. They just showed up one day along with her.

- Haley going on tour again

As Nate spits coffee onto the counter, Haley can't help but laugh. It was a pretty absurd idea and far from anything Luke had written before. But weren't writers supposed to evolve? Maybe this was Luke channeling Darwin ... or Bram Stoker.

"Let me get this straight," Nathan said, coughing from the hot coffee that had probably burned his tongue. He was otherwise engaged, however, and this was much more important. Haley took it upon herself to grab a paper towel. "Luke is writing a book about vampires?"

"Apparently," Haley answered, smiling as she handed a paper towel to her husband.

"What about them?"

"I don't know. He changed the subject. I think he was embarrassed."

"Well, why wouldn't he be?" Nate asked, barely able to hold his amusement in. "He's writing a book about vampires. Are these vampires in Tree Hill?" he asked.

"I don't know."

"Is Peyton a vampire bride?"

"I don't know," she answered again.

"When has Luke ever been interested in vampires?" Haley shrugged as her husband wiped the mess he had made up.

"He read the Twilight series," Haley said before deciding that might not have been the best plan of action. Thankfully, Nathan had not taken another sip as he doubled over on the counter laughing. "Jamie's trying to sleep..." Nathan tried in vain to quiet himself down as he grasped the edge of the counter. "He was curious..."

Nothing she did helped the situation.

"Well, I think we should be supportive."

This shut Nathan up and rightfully so. Nodding, he sat back, and took a moment to pull himself together. "You're right," he said. "But, we can secretly find it funny, right?"

Before she could take a sip, Haley answered. "Oh yeah."

- Haley
- Jamie
- Luke
- Brooke
- Dean
- Sam

"Don't you dare move," he heard Haley say from under him as soon as his leg brushed against hers. This was the third time in his life that he had slept on the floor with his wife and it still hadn't gotten old. Then again, Haley was there and she never got old to him. She never would.

"Too late," he replied, yawning and stretching out his legs, completely.

"No," she grumbled, holding him in place.

"I have practice today." Looking down at his wife, he kissed the top of her head before pulling himself up to a sitting position.

Listening to Haley's frustrated sigh, Nate smiled, getting a good look at the empty house they had spent the night in. The harsh light of day came to mind as he came to a standing position not worrying about the blanket that was clearly around his wife. He was never afraid of standing tall in the buff. He was proud of his body. And he just wanted one more look at his wife before digging into his bag by the fireplace.

"Stay," Haley purred, doe-eyed in Nate's direction.

"I can't stay, Hales." Nate sighed again before pulling on a clean pair of boxers. "I'll use the showers there." His hands found a grey and white sock that would have to do as he sat on the chair in the corner. The back of the chair felt cold against his skin.

"Were you serious about what you said last night?"

"I don't know," he responded, pulling out a folded pair of jeans. "I'm not as spry as I used to be-"

But Haley interrupted him. "I mean about me going on tour."

"Of course." Nate laughed and stood up, pulling on his pants before buttoning them. Kneeling down, he gave Haley a peck on the lips before standing up. "I was serious. It makes you happy and I believe that we can get through anything. Really." He gave Haley his signature encouraging smile before pulling on a grey hoodie.

"Stay."

He heard her again as he made his way to the front door and as he closed it, he caught a glimpse of his wife's form sitting up. He really did want to stay.

The rules are: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given:

From Dean [dude_imbatman]

Basketball - Yeah. My life. Besides Jamie and Haley and Luke and Skills and my Mom and ... Tree Hill, it's my life. And in high school before Haley it was my life. I obsessed, mostly because of my dad. But, I love it.

Haley - The one. My true love. Soul mate. I love every side to her. She has a wonderful voice, a great heart, and a badass streak. Nobody should underestimate her. She makes a great mom and wife. I love her to death.

Jamie - The other part of my life. The best thing I ever did was make Jamie. That -- sounds wrong but I don't know where we'd be without Jamie. I really don't.

Humor - People say I'm not funny. I like to think I am. But, if in fact I'm not I do appreciate humor. And I like to laugh. Anything Jamie does is sure to get me laughing.

Cool - Am I? Thanks, Dean. I don't know. I'm -- cold right now. I should turn up the heat.

[Jamie is wears_aredcape and is used with love.]

Something had gone wrong the week before. The Chiefs had won, with Nate point guard of course but something -- hadn't gone right. Something had been screwed up. Despite the fact that Nate had passed the ball and Jermaine had made that last basket something felt -- off. His team's movements weren't fluid enough or -- something. Without being able to put his finger on it, Nathan found himself awake on weeknights even, in the living room with the latest game tape in and if not his latest game tape, the opposing team's.

Leaning forward, his rubbed his face, a yawn escaping as he turned the volume down a bit, trying not to wake Jamie or Haley.

"Daddy?" he heard from behind him. Too late.

"Jimmy-Jam," he said, turning around. "You're still up?" he asked, his eyebrow raising.

"Aren't you?" Jamie asked right back, crossing his arms. Nathan laughed, shaking his head as Jamie scurried over and climbed onto the couch. "Watcha' watching?"

"These are game tapes, buddy," Nate replied, looking down at his son. "Something felt...weird in Friday's game and I'm just trying to figure out what it was." Even out loud it sounded strange and yet Nathan still sat on his couch, pulling apart his team's tactics, movements, and plays.

"But you won!" Jamie exclaimed, smiling and then looking at the screen.

"Yeah, I know," Nate replied, unable to come back with anything else. "You should be asleep."

"So should you," Jamie snarked back, the face Nate could never get angry at beaming up at him. Instead he laughed before picking up the remote and turning off the television, the game tape still playing.

"Then let's go to sleep," Nate said, standing up, looking down at his son.

"But your game is off!"

Nate laughed again and shook his head once again, thinking back to Jamie's ploys when trying to go to bed from a drink of water to going to the bathroom. He even faux-flushed the toilet. It was cute when it wasn't slightly annoying.

"But we won," Nate shot back.

"Yeah, and I got to be there!" Jamie cried as Nate scooped him up, the two of them laughing.

"That's right," Nathan replied, yawning. "And now, you're going to be in bed. And so am I." Taking one last look back down at the television, Nathan stepped out from behind the couch and set Jamie down. "Now go on upstairs."

"Can I get a drink first, daddy?" he asked, angelic in his ways.

"Quickly," Nate replied, smiling but stern.

[People should really watch out. Nathan Scott is on the rise and when he's through his name will be on everybody's lips. By people, I mean other basketball players. Who knows. I could just come from right up behind and steal their women their ball.

Some people call me unpredictable. Other people call me exceptional. I'm just Nathan Scott.

And that's should be enough awesome to go around.
