AIM RP//Nathan&Haley; The moments that change your entire lives.
hotterscottbro: Not even ah hour ago, the Ravens had won the State Championship game. After celebrating their big victory, Nathan Scott and his wife, Haley James Scott, had started to walk home when it seemed as though Nathan's worst nightmare had become a reality. In one split second, everything had changed. Haley had been purposely hit by Daunte, Nathan killed Daunte in a fit of rage and his father came to his rescue, only for Nathan to find his life was just about to get even worse. Now, not only was he praying for his wife and son to be all right, but he was hoping that his brother, Lucas Scott, would be all right. Now in the hospital, Nathan Scott was sitting on the floor, tears flowing freely, waiting for any news whatsoever. Despite feeling totally and utterl alone, Nathan wasn't the only one in the hospital waiting for news, although Nathan had distanced himself from them. Karen Roe, Peyton Sawyer, Brooke Davis, Whitey Durham, and many more of the Tree Hill Ravens cheerleaders and basketball players were there, waiting and hoping for the best. But none felt as horrible as Nathan. He couldn't get out of his mind that everything that had happened, to both Haley and Lucas, was his fault. After what seemed like an eternity of waiting, a doctor came out to see Nathan. He told him Haley was all right but unconscious. Not caring to hear anymore, Nathan immediately blurted out, tears still streaming down his cheeks, "Can I see her?" The doctor agreed and took Nathan to Haley's room. Nathan surveyed the damage, all the tubes and monitors, and Haley lying, almost lifeless, on the hospital bed. Numbly he walked over to her and pulled a chair up to her bed. His hands shaking, he took her hand in his own and whispered, "Haley? It's me, Nathan, can you hear me?"
just haley 23: It was as if everything was taken out of her, her breath, her blood, her life as she layed there, hooked up to machines just to keep her alive. Haley couldn't move, couldn't speak and her mind was almost completely shut down. Her breathing was very weak and blood still left on her bruised head was now starting to dry. As Nathan took her hand, it didn't move, it was motionless. At this moment, nothing could bring her back to squeeze his hand.
hotterscottbro: Nathan bent over her and hugged her as lightly as he could, afraid he would hurt her. "I never meant for this to happen," he whispered. "I didn't know, I didn't know this would happen, Haley. I wish we'd lost that stupid game, I need you in my life, Haley. I can't lose you. I need you to get better, I need you and our son to be okay. I can't imagine my life without you, because without you, my life has no meaning."
just haley 23: Still, there was no movement. Devestating enough, when breathing, her breath caught in her throat, causing her to slightly gasp for air. Her body was so fragile at this point that anything could just make her crumble. Yes, the doctors said she was fine, but they had yet to find out what was wrong, if the baby was all right and if she was truely out of the woods yet. Her head and face was starting to bruise fast, along with her arms that were laying beside her. It looked like she had been beaten, and left for dead.
hotterscottbro: Nathan pulled back, crying into his hands as he remembered her shouting his name and pushing him out of the way. It should have been him on the hospital bed, not her. His back was wracked with sobs but all he could do was cry, he couldn't even hold his wife's hand for fear of hurting her more.
just haley 23: As he let go of her hand, it dropped motionlessly and lifelessly on the bed. The machines were making their sounds to let Nathan and anyone else know that she was still alive. The room was completely silent now, all except for Nathan's quiet sobs. If Haley was awake to see this, it would of been the first time she has ever seen him this upset, crying like this. Over her. She would do anything to hold him and make sure he was all right. I mean, in reality, she did save his life from Daunte's rage.
hotterscottbro: "You can't die, Haley, you just can't," Nathan whispered, lifiting his head from his hands ever so slightly to look at her, the same girl who not long before had told him they were having a son and convinced him to give the State Championship game his all no matter what.
just haley 23: Haley continued to lay there, still motionless. The only movement was the small amount of blood that had started to trickle once again down her soft but cut lips.
hotterscottbro: Nathan moved closer to her, wiping th blood from her lips, remembering him sort of twirling her in the streets as they celebrated the Ravens' victory, just seconds before everything was ruined, just as he was finally about to tell her the truth. "Please be okay, Haley," he whispered.
"Nathan Scott, a disgrace to the state champion game? Hm..I find that hard to believe." Haley smirked leaning against wall near the locker opening. This was the start of a flashback of that very moment, in the gym. How pain it was to bring it all back.
"I was worried about you," he smiled as she walked over to him.
"And worrying about me made you lose focus on your game? Now, that is definitely the Nathan Scott I don't know." She smiled as she pushed some hair from her eyes as she stood infront of him.
"Yeah, I know, but at least you're here now," he said, wrapping his arms around her, pulling her close.
"Of course I'm here and that means you need to stop worrying and give this game you're all tonight" She spoke softly, hugging into him.
"Would you be okay with it if I didn't go to Duke and this was it, this was my best game, and there were no more after it?" he asked her softly.
Haley smiled up at him. " Yes, as long as you were a good husband and were there for me....and for your son" She smiled wider, her brown eyes sparkling.
"M-my son?" he asked, surprised, a huge grin on his face as it sunk in.
She nodded. "The baby... it's a boy.. we're going to have a boy" She was a bit overwhelmed and she almost felt a tear fall form her eye.
He leaned forward, pulling her closer as he kissed her
"Mmm.." She smirked as he kissed her then pulled back. "Okay.. go on..you're wanted out there..it's your night Nathan...just remember... give it your all..no matter what is on the line." She smiled, patting his shoulder.
Nathan nodded, kissing her once more before running back onto the court.
As the memory faded from his mind, Nathan stood up quickly, pushing his chair back from the movement and turning around, going toward the window. "Damn it, Haley," he whispered, "You can't do this to me, you can't die, Haley, you can't leave me alone in this world." He turned back around to look at her and said, "I'd give anything to take your place right now, Haley, anything. I just... I need you to be okay."
just haley 23: "You...can't...do...that.." Haley struggled to say as she slipped out of her unconsciousness for only a few minutes. "...because I ...won't let ...you" Haley's eyes were still closed a bit as she tried to speak.
hotterscottbro: "Haley," he breathed, sitting back down quickly and grabbing her hand.
just haley 23: Haley tried to smile but was too weak to do so. "some night..huh?" she gasped a little bit.
hotterscottbro: He kissed her lightly, tears in his eyes. "You have no idea," he whispered. "It's my fault, Haley, it's my fault..."
just haley 23: She shook her head, but only slightly because any large movement she made caused pain to shoot through her body. "Don't ...say that..." She breathed, seeing the tears in his eyes.
hotterscottbro: "It is, it is," he whispered, cupping both of her hands in his. "Dan... I asked him for the money and he wouldn't help me, and this guy... Daunte, he said he was a friend of my dad's and that he would help and he did, and that's how I got the money and, Haley... I threw the last game because he threatened to take my dream away and then he wanted me to throw the Championship but I didn't and it was him.. it was him..." He broke down, burying his face in her hair.
just haley 23: Haley stayed silent, not from the news but because her breathing was weakening a little bit more. "Shhh...Nathan..." Is all she could struggle ot make out. As much as it hurt her, She moved her severely bruised arm to place her hand on his head.
hotterscottbro: "I'm so sorry, Haley," he whispered, "I never should have gave the game my all, then you wouldn't be here like this. I wouldn't blame you if you never forgave me for this."
just haley 23: "Nathan.. I asked you to give...it your all...you deserved it...that winning...moment..." She gasped. "you...don't...know how...proud.. I am...of you" She tried to smile again.
hotterscottbro: "Yeah, but you don't deserve this," he whispered, looking into her eyes.
just haley 23: "We don't deserve alot of things....Nathan" She looked back into his eyes and saw the tears and hurt. It made her heart and emotions start to come to the surface. "..sometimes....things....they just...happend"
hotterscottbro: He nodded, stroking her cheek lightly. "D-do you think our son's all right?" he asked, almost dreading the answer in case it was a no.
just haley 23: Haley hadn't even thought of the baby. Her eyes fell alittle bit. "I... I...don't.. know.." She whispered sadly.
hotterscottbro: Nathan held her close, his heart sinking. "I'm not leaving your side," he whispered. "I don't care if they tell me visiting hours are over, I'm not leaving."
just haley 23: She winced a little in pain. "Nathan.." she breathed sharply as he held her a bit tight.
hotterscottbro: "Sorry," he whispered, pulling back slightly.
just haley 23: She let out a small and weak smile. "If...something...did happen...do our..son...we could always...try...again.." Haley responded to him, staying strong, but deep inside, it was slower her down, it was giving her the sorrow that a person never needed when fighting for their life. It was something that could bring her down.
hotterscottbro: "Haley, no, don't think like that, he's fine, he'll be fine," Nathan whispered, placing a hand lightly on her stomach.
just haley 23: "..I... love..you.." She breathed, her eyes getting heavy, the feeling of unconciousness coming over her once again.
hotterscottbro: "No, Haley, you have to stay with me, please, Haley," he whispered, holding her hands tightly.
just haley 23: As weak as she was, she tried to hold onto his gently hands with hers. "..I'm ..sorry..Nathan..." It broke her heart even more to speak those words to him. She didn't want to leave him again but the feeling was overpowering.
hotterscottbro: "Haley, don't, please," Nathan whispered, kissing her, hoping it would help her stay with him even just a second longer.
just haley 23: Her eyebrows furrowed as she tried with all her strength to stay with him. She wanted to kiss him. She wanted to hold onto him and never let go. She wanted everything to be all right again, to return to normal. Seeing him happy would make her fight and fight harder. She felt her eyes tear up as she was failing at staying with him.
hotterscottbro: Nathan started crying again when she slipped out of consciousness. He sat there, feeling more helpless than he'd ever felt before. It wasn't fair, he couldn't lose her or their son, he couldn't. But now all he could do was wait, wait for news from the doctors, wait for Haley to wake up, wait to hear about Lucas and wait for what would happen to his father. Helpless and having to wait, the worst combination in the world.
