EPILOGUE : DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
2 YEARS LATER…
"When you were getting married, Peyt, were you this nervous?"
"Hales, you're going to be fine," Peyton coaxed.
It was finally here. After over 10 years of heartache, the wedding day of the infamous Naley was here. Brooke was Haley's maid of honor, Lucas was the best man, Peyton, Nicole and Taylor were bridesmaids and Keith, Jake and Chris were groomsmen.
"I'm so nervous," Haley told her friends, "What if he runs out?"
"Haley," Brooke started, "Nicole is in there right now with Nathan, and so is Lucas, Jake and Chris, I don't think Nathan is going anywhere."
"You nervous?"
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"So you are nervous."
Nathan sighed irritated and turned to his daughter, "Nicole. I'm sure that I'm not nervous."
Nicole reflected the same look, "But you're getting married."
"To your mother," Nathan said.
Nathan and Lucas stood at the altar waiting for the ceremony to begin. When the music began, Nathan smiled and Lucas looked towards his brother and smiled, too.
First, Taylor walked down with Chris and the match looked almost amusing, with Taylor winking and Chris fixing his hair. Following them, Peyton and Jake came down the aisle looking obviously in love, and that showed with Peyton's baby bump. Finally, Nathan smiled as he saw his daughter coming down the aisle with Keith leading her. Nicole smirked at Nathan which caused a chuckle from the Scott brothers. Brooke came down the aisle just as they assumed. She looked beautiful in her hand-made Maid of Honor Dress, and smiled gigantically, which was contagious. At making the altar, Brooke smiled at the men and took her place. When the doors opened, and Haley walked out arm in arm with her father, Nathan's breath caught in his throat. At reaching the altar, Nathan raised her veil and they looked at each other and whispered, "Finally."
"Ladies and gentlemen, may everyone please take their seats at this time," a friend of the couple's from highschool, Mouth McFadden said during the reception.
"First off, I just want to take the moment to thank everyone for coming to celebrate this precious event," Mouth continued as a beat began to play in the background.
"At this time I want to announce the bridal party, so let's start off with the parents' of the groom, give it up for Dan and Karen Scott!" Mouth said.
Dan and Karen came out smiling and of course Dan had to wave at the people applauding him.
"And here are the parents' of the bride: Jimmy and Lydia James!"
Jimmy and Lydia came out similarly to the Scotts, and took their place next to them.
"Now on with the bridal party: First couple of the night: Let's give it up for: Chris Keller and Taylor James!"
"Continuing on: Jake and Peyton Jagielski!"
"And finally, I hear this one is extremely important: Keith Scott and daughter of the couple: Nicole Scott!"
Nicole came out led by her uncle, smiling gigantically at the people applauding for her, and Nicole, being herself, bowed, which earned more laughter from the crowd.
"Here are the best man, and maid of honor, give it up for: Lucas Scott and Brooke Davis!"
Brooke and Lucas came out standing along side with the rest of the bridal party as Mouth began to announce Nathan and Haley.
"And now for the first time seen in public, I'm proud to announce, Mr. & Mrs. Nathan and Haley Scott. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Scotts!"
Nathan and Haley entered smiling and circled the dance floor once, while Mouth said, "Everyone can be seated now, as Nathan and Haley share their first dance as husband and wife, which was chosen by Nathan himself, to Haley."
Haley closed her eyes and smiled as the song began to play and they began to dance.
Well, here we are again I still remember when After all the stops and starts
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
Your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, after all
"Will the bridal party please join the couple on the dancefloor."
After all the stops and starts Always just beyond my touch After all the stops and starts After all the stops and starts
When love is truly right
(this time it's truly right)
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
And on the way it grows
But it never disappears
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, after all
You know I needed you so much
After all, what else is living for?
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me,
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, after all
"Ladies and gentlemen, please turn your attention to the best man and maid of honor for their speeches."
"Hey everyone, before I start, I just want to thank you all for coming tonight to my brother and best friend's wedding," Lucas started, "As I think everyone remembers, when we were younger, Nathan, Haley and I were all really good friends even before we met Brooke, Peyton and Jake. And I always used to tease them that they were going to get married one day, because Nathan used to pull Haley's hair," Lucas paused as he along with everyone else chuckled, "But I remember as teenagers, we all used to bet on when Nathan and Haley would go out because as much as you don't wanna believe it, Nathan was one of those sick-love puppies who would like follow Haley and then whine to me about how he was basically in love with her," Lucas looked at his brother and Haley, "But let me tell you, if 9 years ago, after the fight that went on between the six of us, you would tell me I'd be here giving a speech at Nathan and Haley's wedding….I'd still believe it. Nate and Hales, if anyone deserves this beautiful wedding, with a perfect life, it's the two of you. I once heard, "Some of us don't have time to regret, because we're too busy looking forward to the future." And that quote is for the two of you. You guys deserve all the happiness in the world, I love you guys."
Brooke smiled at her boyfriend and stood up to the microphone, "Well, I don't think I'm as good as Lucas over here, but I'm definitely going to try," Brooke said, "For 9 years now, Haley and I became the best of friends. After high-school graduation, we left Tree Hill and moved up to New York to start fresh. 2 years ago, Haley and I ran into what we thought we were escaping. The heartache, betrayal, and drama basically came back to us in one night. And a few weeks ago, Haley told me that as hard as she tried to get away from it, she was so happy it found us again. Nathan, Haley…the two of you are ideal. I love you guys so much and Nate, she was happy to find you again. Cheers," Brooke said as she raised her glass.
Nathan stood up and walked to the microphone, "Sorry guys, but you know I couldn't just not give a speech. First off, thank you all for coming. It means the world to me and Haley that you are all here with us to share our special day. Second of all, I think as everyone knows, that Haley and I have a daughter, Nicole," Nathan laughed as Nicole got up and waved, "Nicole, Haley and I just recently became a family 2 years ago. And as much as anyone would think that I was horrified to learn I had a daughter and was angry at Haley….all of that disappeared when I realized that it was Haley that I had a daughter with. The girl of my dreams for my whole life and the one I had been missing for 7 years. The girl that I was always in love with and never fell out. And then I realized that Nicole's my daughter. And I thought, Hales, you did a wonderful job raising her, but she's exactly like me; perfect," Nathan stopped as everyone laughed, "That's actually something that Nicole told me 2 years ago…she said to me, "Are you perfect? Cause Mommy says I'm just like my Daddy and well, I'm perfect." And you know what Nic, you are perfect. I just want to tell you Haley, finding you again made my life complete, and learning we have a daughter made it more complete that I even thought possible. I love you so much and I hope you are ready for the rest of lives, because that is what I promise you, always and forever."
Nathan walked over to Haley and kissed her as everyone awed. Nicole, needing to add something, like always ran to the mike,
"Mommy's having a baby!" Nicole yelled.
Everyone gasped and Nathan and Haley both gave Nicole stern looks as Brooke screamed and ran to hug Haley.
"Oh, and Uncle Lucas and Aunt Brooke are getting married!" With that, Nicole ran to her grandparents as everyone clapped for both the Naley and Brucas announcements as the six friends looked to each other.
"Okay, I thought we were done with those dirty little secrets."
Tell me all that you've thrown away I'll keep you my dirty little secret Who has to know Tell me all that you've thrown away I'll keep you my dirty little secret Who has to know I'll keep you my dirty little secret I'll keep you my dirty little secret Who has to know
Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Who has to know
THE END!
Well, that's it! That's the end of DIRTY LITTLE SECRET. I hope that everyone enjoyed my fourth fic, which was definitely one that I loved the minute I started writing it. I hope that fans stick with me throughout my fifth fic, which I hope to start in the next month or two, "EVERYTIME WE TOUCH".
