Jamie voice over :

When I was five my friend Quentin died. I remember the scary feeling of no longer having him around. Dad helped me a lot. He explained to me that Quentin is in heaven. Now I'm eleven and my dad is missing. My mom is scared, and so am I. I'm flying back home with Uncle Lucas because mom has some news for me and him. I always loved Tree Hill but I have a feeling that would soon change. I can see it in Uncle Lucas's face. Something is wrong. I just want dad to be ok.

It's raining when the plane lands. Lucas and Jamie get off the plane and get their luggage. At the front off the airport, they see Haley. Jamie runs and hugs her. Lucas looks at her with worry.

" We'll talk at home. Let's go."

Lucas nods and they follow her to her car. They get in, and Lucas holds Haley's hand knowing it's not good. She drives to her and Jamie's house and parks the car. Getting out, Haley helps take the luggage inside.

" Alright Hales, quit stalling. What's wrong ?"

" Have a seat on the couch guys."

" Mom, is dad ok ?"

Haley wants to say yes, but knowing she can't. Jamie's eyes are full of hope and her heart sinks with despair.

" No, sweetie. Your dad has gotten badly hurt. He's in the hospital."

Lucas almost gasp in horror of the news and Jamie sits in shock. Lucas speaks up.

" What do you mean injured ? How ?"

" His kidnapper's had guns. One of them shot him Lucas."

Suddenly Jamie jumps up in anger and starts shouting.

" No ! Not dad ! He has to be ok ! He's my dad !"

Haley immediately pulls Jamie into an embrace. She looks up and sees Lucas with tears rolling down his face.

" Let's go see him. Haley is it ok if I drive ?"

" Yeah Lucas it's fine. Here's the keys."

They go back to the car and Lucas drives them to the hospital. They go into Nathan's room. Lucas and Jamie see him hooked up to tubes and heart monitor.

Jamie walks over slowly and takes Nathan's hand.

" Dad, come on. Please wake up. It's me Jamie. Me and mom need you dad."

Lucas swallows the urge to cry, seeing his nephew beg Nathan like that. Lucas could feel his heart breaking with each sound of the machines. Haley begins speaking.

" I'm sorry Lucas. They found him last night. They had to remove a bullet from his heart."

" Will he be ok ? What did the doctors say ?"

Haley could hear the fear and sadness in her best friend's voice.

" There's a 50/50 chance he will wake up. He may die Lucas."

Lucas shakes his head and begins quietly crying with Haley. Then he decides to go call Peyton.

" Hello ?"

" Peyton, you need to come to Tree Hill."

" Why Lucas ?"

" There's a good chance Nathan could die. He got shot Peyton."

" Oh God Lucas, I'm so sorry baby. I'll try to catch the soonest flight out there."

" Thank you. I love you, bye."

" I love you too. Bye."

Lucas goes back in the room and finds Haley holding a crying Jamie. He stands at the door and looks on.

Lucas voice over :

Sometimes things happen we don't understand. Things that make us angry and sad at the same time. Feeling so helpless,

because deep inside you know it's in God's hands. Out of your control. Trouble seems to find everyone eventually maybe this

time a miracle while happen.
