"Just Be Your Tear"
Don't know why he says all those things
Always shootin' down all your dreams
He ought to know better than that
He ought to be watching his back
'cause you know you know
[Chorus:
Girl I'd love to shine in your eyes
If only for just a moment
Girl I'd be satisfied
If I could only touch your cheek
Baby that's all I'd need
To make my life complete
Girl I know I can make you smile
If you knew that I was here
Wishing that I could just be your tear
I don't know why he cant find the words
Saying all those things you deserve
Girl if it was me there I swear
You know you wouldn't have to feel so unsure
About what tomorrow would bring
Don't you know I'd give everything
If I could just hold you like him
If I could be more than just friends
'Cause you know you know
Girl I'd love to shine in your eyes
If only for just a moment
Girl I'd be satisfied
If I could only touch your cheek
Baby that's all I'd need
To make my life complete
Girl I know I can make you smile
If you knew that I was here
Wishing that I could just be your tear

"But mom I don't want to play with her. All she does is play with dolls. I don't like dolls." nine year old Nathan complained.
"Nathan It will only be for a few hours while your Dad and I go out to dinner with the James's. Plus her older brother Matt is watching you two so it won't be too bad honey." Deb told her son.
"Fine, but I'm not playing with her, and if she cries I don't care." Nathan folded his arms across his little chest and informed his mom.
"Just be nice sweetie, and we will be home before you know it." Deb took her sons hand a walked him next door where the James's lived. They knocked on the front door and waited for someone to answer.
"Oh its you." Haley said with a disgusted face when she opened the front door.
"Haley Anne James that is not nice." Her mother Lydia scolded. "Deb, Nathan come on in."
"Well actually I have some touching up to do before we leave. I just came to drop Nathan off. You and Jimmy can come over to the house whenever you are ready." Deb told Lydia and bent over to give Nathan a kiss on the cheek and gently pushed him into the house. "We won't be to late sweetie. Also be good for Matt." Deb gave Nathan another kiss on the cheek, but this time he made a disgusted face and wiped his cheek with the back of his hand.
"Mom I hate when you do that."
"I know I can't help it. Bye sweetie be good." With that Deb walked out the door.
"Hey Nathan do you want to watch a movie?" Haley sweetly asked.
"I'm not watching a Disney princess movie if that's what your asking." Nathan answered stubbornly. Haley always made him watch those movies when he was over.
"No I was going to say we could watch Space Jam. It has basketball in it, and I love basketball." Haley replied.
"You like basketball?" Nathan asked in disbelief.
"I love it. I bet I could even beat you in a game of one on one. I win against my brother all the time." Haley said confidently.
"You could not beat me. I'm the best there is, and I bet your brother lets you win."
"no he doesn't."
"Yeah he does."
"nope."
"Yep."
"Whatever. Do you want to watch the movie or not?" Haley asked again.
"Sure." Haley and Nathan sat down in Haley's living room and watched Space Jam. Her brother Matt, who was 18 and the oldest of the James's was upstairs with his girlfriend.
After the movie was over Nathan and Haley were both in wide smiles.
"That movie was awesome." Nathan told Haley turning to look at her.
"I know I love that movie." Haley replied.
"So what do you want to do now?" Nathan asked.
"Well we can play video games. I just got this new basketball game its really fun." Haley suggested.
"Or we could go outside to my house a play for real."
"I don't know Nathan its getting dark outside, and Matt probably wouldn't let us."
"Oh come on Hales I'll protect you. Its just darkness, there is nothing to be scared of. Plus we have a light out back so it wont be too dark."
"But what about Matt?" Haley was still unsure about the plan.
"Come with me." Nathan took Haley's little hand and dragged her up the stairs to Matt's room. They both peaked through the crack in the door and noticed Matt kissing his girlfriend. When Haley started to giggle Nathan dragged her down the stairs. Once the reached the bottom they were both laughing hysterically at what the saw.
"Eww Nathan I didn't want to see that." Haley said grossed out.
"Its just a kiss Haley. Its not that big of deal. Now come on he won't even notice we are gone."
"Okay, but just for a little bit."
Nathan and Haley snuck out the back of her house and climbed the fence to get into Nathan's backyard.
"Okay lets play one on one." Nathan suggested.
"Alright, but you're going to lose." Haley teased.
After playing for awhile, Nathan won 10-8. However, he was surprised at how good Haley was. He has never seen a girl play that good before. She was different from the other girls they went to school with."
"Hey Haley"
"Yeah."
"Do you want to be my best friend." Nathan asked shyly.
"I would love to." Haley replied with a smile.

It was the day after Dan Scott's funeral, and Nathan was no where to be found. His father had suffered and died from a heart attack, which was caused by HCM, a heart disease that Dan didn't know he had.
"Nathan has been missing all day. Have you seen him anywhere?" Deb asked Lydia over the phone.
"No Deb, I'm sorry, but I haven't seen him. I'll ask Haley maybe she knows where he is."
"Okay just call me back if you hear anything." Deb replied before hanging up.
"Is everything okay mom." Haley asked.
"No sweetie. Have you seen Nathan?"
"No I haven't. Usually we go to the river court today, but he never showed." Haley answered, and then a thought popped up. "Wait I know where he might be. I'll go see." Haley said gathering her coat and heading for the door.
"Haley you are not going out there it is pouring rain." Her mother stopped her.
"I have to do this mom." With that Haley waked out the front door and headed for her and Nathan's secret hide out.
Once she arrived at the river court she looked around to make no one was around. After seeing the coast was clear Haley headed toward the old bathrooms that were near the court, they were the ones no one used anymore. Her and Nathan spent a whole summer cleaning it and fixing it up to be their fort.
Once she arrived she walked in and noticed Nathan sitting in there soaked with water. He looked so broken and lost.
"Nathan?" Haley whispered.
"I was hoping you would find me here." Nathan said after a few minuets.
"I knew you would be here."
"You didn't tell anyone did you?" Nathan asked looking up and noticed that Haley was soaking.
"No, no one knows where I went. Are you okay?"
"No I'm not okay Haley. I just lost my dad. I'm only 14 and I have no dad." Nathan snapped. This caused Haley to flinch, which didn't go unnoticed by Nathan.
"Sorry I didn't mean to snap at you." Nathan apologized. "I just don't know what I'm going to do." After saying those words Nathan allowed himself to break down for the first time. He hasn't cried this whole time, but he couldn't keep it any longer.
"It's gonna be okay Nate. I'm here for you. You can always count on me okay, and I Promise things will get better." Haley said as she felt tears streaming down her cheek as well. She got up from where she was sitting and went over to Nathan and pulled him into a tight, comforting hug. Nathan hid his face in the crook of her neck until his tears subsided. "Shh its okay Nate. Everything is going to get better I promise. I help you make it better."
"Thanks Hales." Nathan said sincerely after they ended their hug. "I don't know what I would do with out you."
"Hey that what best friends are for." Haley smiled. "Now we should head back. Your mom is really worried about you."
"Alright. Lets go." Nathan and Haley walked back the their houses hand in hand at a slow pace. The rain never did bother them. Rain was always there thing.
Once they were standing in front of Haley's house Nathan suddenly moved his face toward Haley's a gave her a peck on the lips.
"Thanks for everything best bud." Nathan smiled and walked to his house.
Haley brought her hand up to her lips and smiled. That was her first kiss, and Nathan was the one that gave it to her.

"Hales you cheated." Nathan told his best friend of 9 years.
"I did not. I stole the ball from you and went in for the lay-up and won fair and square. How is that cheating?" Haley laughed. Nathan always was a sore loser.
"You fouled me. When you stole the ball you smacked my hand in the process." Nathan lied.
"I did not. I won, why don't you just admit it."
"Fine you won, but you only did because you cheated." Nathan said and noticed the look in Haley's eye and started running.
"You get over here right now Nathan Royal Scott. I won and you know it." Haley yelled chasing after him. Finally when she caught up to him she lunged at him knocking them both on the ground.
They laid there for a few minuets. Haley on top of Nathan. Both looking into the others eyes.
"Oh god I'm sorry I didn't mean to knock you over." Haley said once it became awkward. She stood up and held out her hand for Nathan to take, helping him up.
"It's okay muscles, just take it easy next time." Nathan joked which caused both of them to laugh. "hey are we having movie night tonight?" Nathan asked after their laughter died down.
"I can't. I'm going out with Damien tonight." Haley replied feeling guilty.
"Ugh Hales just ditch him."
"I can't Nathan he's my boyfriend. I'm not just going to ditch him, and plus he's your friend too."
"I know. I guess we can have movie night another time."
"Sounds good. Well I have to go get ready, you going to walk me home?"
"Nah I'm going to stay here a little while longer."
"Alright. Well I'll call you when I get home later."
"Sounds good. Bye Hales, Love ya."
"Love ya too."
Nathan sat there watching her walk away. He always told her he loved her when they left each other, and she always said it back. However, it meant more then friendship for Nathan, and it killed him that Haley didn't feel the same way.
