"Where is she?!" Nathan screamed after jumping out of the elevator looking at his older brother Lucas.

"Nathan calm down" Lucas said

"Just tell me what happened Lucas?"

"All I know is that Haley was driving after she and Rachel had taken Jade and Jamie to FunZone and it started raining really hard and she hit a slick spot and lost control and the flipped down the hill."

"Is Jamie okay?"

"Yeah, Jamie just had some minor cuts and bruises"

"What about Haley?"

"They've been working on her for awhile, they're not really sure."

Just then Brooke and Peyton rushed in heading straight for Nathan and Lucas who was standing in the middle of the waiting room.

"Hey, what happened?" Brooke asked

Lucas filled Peyton and Brooke in on what happened. Nathan had taken a seat on one of the waiting room chairs with his hands folded in front of his face.

"Is Rachel okay?" Brooke asked

"I don't know, they won't tell me anything because I'm not family" Lucas replied.

Brooke rushed to one of the nurses standing around and started to take out her frustration with that particular nurse, insisting on knowing the condition on Rachel and Jade.

The elevator doors suddenly opened revealing a man in his 20's wearing an expensive black suit who casually walked to the desk and said, "I'm looking for my wife, Rachel Gattina" Lucas, Brooke, Peyton head turned to look at this man who was approximately 6'2, with dark brown hair and green eyes. The nurse took the man back to the room that Rachel was in passing by Lucas, Nathan, Brooke, and Peyton. The man reentered the waiting room about ten minutes later filling out some papers.

Brooke walked up to Rachel's husband and said, "I'm Brooke, friends with Rachel."

He looked up at her with a smirk on his face while looking at her from head to toe. "Harold, husband to Rachel"

"Is she okay?" Brooke asked sounding sincerely concerned while not trying to show her total disgust at the man standing in front of her. He is actually checking me out while his wife and child are in the hospital. Jackass.

"Yeah she should be fine" he said and then he casually walked to the elevator and left with Brooke looking completely stunned at his whole nonchalant demeanor toward his wife and child just being in a car accident that could have killed them.

"What was that?" Peyton asked catching all the conversation between Harold and Brooke.

"That is a first class ass." Brooke replied just looking at the elevator door he left, just thinking about everything Rachel had told her about him. She already didn't like him for how he had treated Rachel, but now she hated him. What kind of man just leaves their child behind? I mean I can understand why Rach isn't his favorite person, but what about his own flesh and blood? He better be going out to get a stuffed animal or something.

Peyton knew that there was something wrong when she noticed how intently Brooke was staring at the elevator doors that Rachel's mystery husband had left in. There is more going on than what Brooke has told me. The only person that wasn't shocked about the whole Rachel having a husband thing was Brooke. We need to have a little conversation about Rachel. Snapping out of her thoughts she just looked at Brooke, who was still looking at those doors. "Brooke? Are you okay?" Peyton asked a little worried about her trance like stance in the middle of the waiting room.

Brooke instantly turned to look at Peyton and was about to say something when a nurse with Jamie and Jade came out. Harold had left Jade with Brooke's responsibility. Brooke picked up Jade who was visibly shaken by everything that happened. Nathan rushed to his son and picked him up and hugged him saying everything was going to be okay. Nathan gave Jamie to Brooke to take him home with her because he wanted to stay at the hospital to wait on news about Haley.

Four hours later Dr. Washington walked out and headed for Nathan. Dr. Jacob Washington had just moved from Chicago to Tree Hill about six months ago. He was looking for a lot less hectic atmosphere which had absolutely nothing to do with his job, but all to do with his soon to be ex-wife.

Jacob really hated this part of his job. Talking to the family was the hardest part, especially if it was bad news. "Mr. Scott?" he asked even though he knew exactly who he was. He could always tell who the spouses were, they were the most distraught and everyone one else there was surrounding them trying to reassure them that everything was going to be okay.

"Yeah, how's my wife?"

"She had some head trauma and as of right know she is in a coma"

"A coma?" Nathan asked barely able to get the words out.

"Yes, she's stable right now, but we don't think…."

"You don't think what?!" Nathan asked angrily

"That she's going to wake up, the machines are the only thing keeping her alive" Dr. Washington said noticing for the first time how young he was. He felt sorry for him to be that young and to deal with this whole situation. It was heartbreaking.

Lucas put his hand on his brother's shoulder as Nathan just sat there not knowing what to do, just looking out into space. The doctor had still been talking, but he couldn't hear him. All he could hear over and over again was the doctor saying that they didn't think she was going to wake up again. What the hell am I supposed to do now?, Nathan thought
