How to save a life.

Summary: AU. NH Nathan is a star but he's life is a wreck. Haley is a down-to-earth senior. Some things are just meant to be that way.

Chapter 1: The floor can be a pretty dark place

It was all coming back now. The chills down his spine, the people screaming out the locker room, his hands shaking, the knees going weak. Being the Lakers shooter wasn't the easiest thing in the world, but it all went away when he stepped into that court. He left everything there, the game was his life. He looked the red-haired staring back at him from the picture on his locker. Rachel. Rachel. Her name was as sweet as her skin, as dangerous as her. Everyone had told him to move on, to start over, but Rachel wasn't a person you could move on from after a one-night stand, she was so much more. He had been in love with her, at least he thought and he had used him, for fame.

'And now your shooter and star Mr. Nathan Scott!' The speaker shouted.

Nathan ran into the court, a bunch of groupies started screaming and shouting, histerically waving their hands at him. He gave them the classic Scott smirk, he loved his fans, they were so supportive, so easy and so damn hot. He felt the dizzyness as he walked inside the court. He shaked it out of his head, the game was about to begin.

'Please, Please Luke, don't make me' The little brunnette begged

'C'mon Hales, it's just a game and it's the finale, the last game of this season, don't be mean I want to watch it with my best friend' The blonde guy answered

'Okay, but I warned you I might fall asleep' she sitted on the dark leather couch

'You won't' he answered as he searched for the channel

'What on earth makes you think that?'

'You love me, and you want to spend time with me' he laughed

'Sure, keep dreaming Scott' she smiled back, Lucas was such a tease

'Okay here' he stopped 'It's starting Hales, there it's your secret crush'

'Don't be stupid asshat' she answered as she hitted him on the head

'Ow, okay no violence little woman, I know you love Nathan Scott, you love him' Lucas smiled

'He's an ass that thinks that he owns the world because he gets laid every night, I hate him with burning passion Eugene'

'Aw that was low James, but it doesn't convince me, you have a big crush on him' Lucas laughed

'You pissed me Scott, enough is enough' she said as she jumped to tickle him

'Oh Hales please don't' Lucas begged as he laughed

You totally deserved this Luke' She continued laughing.

They were winning, and it wasn't because of him. He felt dizzy and like he was going to pass out any minute. The court started to became blurry, and the girls screaming seemed to be so far away. He blinked, one of he's teamates was calling him. He blinked again, everything was turning so dark and distant. He closed his eyes this time. The lights, the noise everything was vanishing, he felt his knees going weak, and then his whole body hit the hard floor. He felt everything black, darkness and he passed out.

'Someone please' he's team mate screamed as he approched him.

For Nathan Scott it was all dark for now. Maybe he could've tried to open he's eyes. But it was not about that. It was that he didn't want to.
