Chapter Two: Nathan and his disfunctional family
Nathan was about two hours from his hometown. He really didn't want to go back, going back meant he had to see his dad, and that spelt disaster. It wasn't that he didn't love his father, he did. It was just that his father was, well an ass. His father of course was known by everyone in Tree Hill, Dan Scott owned and managed, Dan Scott Motors. Being one of the only car lots in Tree Hill, anyone who had a car in Tree Hill, bought it at Dan Scott Motors. His father could bullshit, anyone, in fact he was pretty sure he could sale a book to a blind man. This of course not being the reason why he didn't want to see his father. He had left Tree Hill right after graduation, of course he didn't get to go to Tree Hill high. No he had to go to a private school. God forbid he actually comminacate with people who lived in Tree Hill. He figured his father did this because he didn't want him talking or making friends with his brother, Lucas Scott. Even though he had never met his brother, that was one of his only reasons for returning to Tree Hill.
He was about thirty miles away from Tree Hill now, and he remembered all to clearly what happened the day he had left, to join the army.
Beginning of Flashback
"Son, you've got every college in North Carolina wanting you to join there basketball team," Dan had told his son.
"Dad, I told you, I want to join the army, I don't want to play basketball anymore," Nathan said, it wasn't entirely true.
Nathan loved the game, he enjoyed playing basketball, but he also knew that if he went to college to play it would be exactly the same as playing in high school. His father had controled him with that sport, and joining the army was the only way he could think of to get out from under his father completely.
"I will not have that, you will not join the army," his father demanded.
"You know what dad, I'm eighteen years old, and it's my damn choice, and I am joining the army," Nathan said.
"If you do, you will not longer be welcome in my house," Dan said.
"Oh, so if I go off and become a war hero, and save a bunch of people, you wouldn't be proud of me," Nathan said.
"Your damn straight I won't," Dan said with a deadpan look on his face.
"Well fine dad, I don't wanna be your no more anyways," Nathan said as he walked out the door.\
End of Flashback
It wasn't that he didn't wanna be his son anymore, he loved his father. He didn't know why, hell he didn't know why his mom still loved him, but he did. It was just that he was sick and tired of being his father's slave. Doing everything daddy ever told him. That's why he never knew his brother, because daddy wouldn't have it. The thought of having to see his father again, well it made him cringe. He knew they would fight, and they would bicker, and it was all his father's fault. Unfornately for him, his parents lived right on the outskirts of Tree Hill, and he had pulled onto they're street. He wasn't even sure what made him think that they still lived here, but he knew his father, and how damn vindictive his was. Of course they still lived here, he had everyone in this town, pretty much tied around his finger. He saw his childhood home, and pulled into the driveway. The only reason he went to his parents, was to see his mother. He knew she was heartbroken when he left, but she also knew that it was good for him. He got out of his car, and looked around a little bit.
He walked up to the door, and knocked. He prayed his father didn't answer, which this being a weekday, and it only being two, he was sure his father was at work. After the second knock, his mother answered the door. She pulled the door opened, and her jaw dropped when she saw her little boy standing there in front of her.
"Hi, mom," He said hugging her tightly.
"What are you doing here, my boy," she asked, refusing to let go of him.
"I'm on a leave of abscene, I get sometime off every year, and well I haven't used any of it," Nathan said, letting go of her.
"How long are you in town for," she asked him.
"Well, I have almost a year's worth of time, I'm not sure how much I will use," Nathan said.
"I'm just glad your here," she said.
"Where's Dan at," Nathan said, refusing to call him father.
"He's at the dealership, but he will be here in about ten minutes for his lunch break," his mother said.
They heard a key in the door, and knew who it was. Nathan prepared himself for his father screaming at him. The door opened and there stood Dan Scott.
"Oh, well look, if it isn't my other bastard child," Dan said harshly, as he brushed past Nathan and went into the kitchen.
Nathan wasn't going to take his shit not anymore. He walked into the kitchen, even though his mother's eyes pleaded for him not to.
"You know what Dan, if you weren't such an ass, maybe I would have went to college," Nathan said.
"What did you say to me," Dan said, he didn't like it when people went against him.
"You heard me, if you weren't such an ass," Nathan said.
Dan refused to take shit from a little shit like Nathan. He pulled his hand back, and was willing and able to hit him, when his wife came in.
"I swear to god, Dan if you lay one finger on our son, I will kill you, I swear," Deb said.
Dan immedately dropped his hand, he knew his wife had been a bit unstable since Nathan had left, blaming him for her son leaving. He completely believed that she would kill him.
"I'm sorry mom, but I can't stand looking at this joke of a man anymore," Nathan said, as he stormed out of the house.
He couldn't believe that his father, was going to hit him. Did his father have no heart. It was at that time that he knew that Lucas had, had the better life. Nathan wished he could have never knew his father.
