"I can't believe we're married," Haley said as she left hand in hand with Nathan. "Lucas took it really well. I'm surprised."

"Who cares what anyone thinks. You don't."

"You're right. Oh, I forgot my purse. I'll be right back."

"No, let your husband get it. Where is it?"

"Look in the secret back room. I'll meet you at the car."

"I love you wife."

"I love you too husband." Haley said as she walked into the street.

"Haley watch out!"

BOOM!

"Things that take fourteen minutes … boiling an ostrich egg, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video, it also takes fourteen minutes to get from TRIC (Molina Bridge) to Tree Hill hospital. In those fourteen minutes, one live are in the balance. For the rest of us there was nothing to do but wait … I guess that's why they call it the waiting room." -Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray).

Haley was currently lying in a hospital bed in a coma. She was hit by a car.

My name is Lucas Scott. I'm a junior at Tree Hill high school. Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world, maybe it's a lot like your world, maybe it's nothing like it,

but if you look closer, you might see someone like you, or someone like my brother, Nathan. If you're married, a junior in high school, and not sure if your wife will wake up then I'd say your world is a lot like Nathan's. Today was suppose to be the best day of his. life … but it's amazing how things can change in the blink of an eye. Or in this case … in about 29 minutes.

29 MINUTES AGO.

Nathan was currently watching his wife dance. He couldn't believe that he was married. And to the most sexy, beautiful woman. He couldn't wait to take her home. And he wanted to take her home now.

He then saw Haley slow dancing with Lucas and decided to wait. He went up to the bar. He ordered a soda. And he saw Rachel Gatina coming towards him. He sighed when he saw her. He didn't want to talk to her.

"Hey Nate." Rachel said flirtatiously.

"Rachel. Do you mind?"

"Not at all." Rachel sits down next to him. "So, I'm so excited that we won the championship. You did really good."

"Thanks."

"So, I'm just gonna say it, come home with me tonight."

"I can't."

"Why? It's not like you're gonna get any other action besides me."

"That's not…" He stopped when he felt a pair of hands on his shoulder. "Hey."

Haley rested her head on his shoulder. "Hey, husband. You ready to go."

"Sure. Let's go." Nathan grabbed Haley's hand and they walked our hand in hand.

"I can't believe we're married," Haley said as she left hand in hand with Nathan. "Lucas took it really well. I'm surprised."

"Who cares what anyone thinks. You don't."

"You're right. Oh, I forgot my purse. I'll be right back."

"No, let your husband get it. Where is it?"

"Look in the secret back room. I'll meet you at the car."

"I love you wife."

"I love you too husband." Haley said as she walked into the street.

"Haley watch out!"

BOOM! She was hit.

"Haley!" Nathan yelled. He immediately

Lucas came into the waiting room. "Here. I bought you a coffee."

"No thanks. I just need Haley to wake up."

"Do you know how she is?"

"They just took her back to surgery."

"Why?"

"Her spleen ruptured. They needed to take it out. It's my fault."

"How it is your fault? What happened was an accident."

"If Haley had gone to get her own purse, it would be me in there."

"Then I would be here with Haley and she would say it was her fault." Lucas put his hand on his brother's shoulder. "Haley is going to be just fine. I know it."

"I don't think I can do this. I can't deal with this." With that Nathan left.
