Chapter 3
Haley walked back to her seat in a daze, fighting the urge to cry. Karen saw the pitiful look on Haley's face and without any question just reached over and wrapped her in a hug. Mentally reminding herself to knock some sense into her son. As the second half began it was the Nathan Scott show. Nathan was on top of his game and leading his team to a victory while Lucas just didn't seem to have his head in the game.
With 2 minutes to play Lucas scrambled for a loose ball and was plowed into by a member of the other team. Lucas tried to stand up to take his free throws only to fall down wincing in pain. The referee motioned for Whitey and the trainer to come onto the court. They helped Lucas off the court and Lucas headed to the locker room with the trainer. Karen stood to go check on Luke but Keith stopped her. "Let me go check on him Karen."
Keith headed down to the locker room only to pass his brother with a smug look of satisfaction on his face. "You know what Dan if I didn't know any better I would say you are happy to see Lucas hurt."
"Well now the spotlight will be back on Nathan the only true Scott out on that court."
"You are not worth my time. You disgust me. How I am related to you is beyond me. Deb my condolence on being married to such an uncaring bastard."
Deb looked at her husband in disgust as she walked Keith walk away, and decided to go keep Karen and Haley company while they wait to hear about Lucas.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I am going over to keep Karen company until she finds out how her son is. You know Dan sometimes I wonder if you have a heart at all. Or better yet how I ever fell in love with someone like you."
"You know what Deb I didn't have to marry you."
"Oh that's right you could have taken the same route you did with Karen. But you know what Dan she is the lucky one. She got away from you. Now her and Lucas are just fine but as for me and Nathan well we pay for how you act. And I will be damned if I let you turn my son into you."
Deb headed over to Karen and hugged her. "I hope he is okay Karen. I know you must be going crazy."
Down in the locker room the trainer had decided Lucas needed to head to the hospital for X-Rays. Keith headed over there to find out the verdict on the injuries.
"Hey Lucas you alright?"
"Lucas needs X-Rays can you take him?"
"Sure can. We will go right now. Can you tell his mother we're headed to the hospital."
"Sure Mr. Scott. I hope it's not broken Lucas."
"Thanks come on Keith, let's get this over with."
Lucas and Keith piled into the truck and headed to the emergency room. Lucky for them they were helped right away. Meanwhile back at the game Karen was going crazy. "What is Keith doing? That's it let's go Haley. Thanks for sitting with us Deb it meant a lot."
"No problem I hope he's alright. I'll see you tonight."
Haley grabbed Karen's arm. "Isn't that the trainer with Whitey but where's Luke?" The trainer looked up in the stands and motioned for them to come down in the hallway.
"Karen he left with Keith to go to the emergency room to get X-Rays. Keith said to call his cell. He wanted to hurry and leave cause Luke was in pain."
"Thanks Mike. Well Haley I will call you and let you know how he is. Go home and get ready for your date."
"No way Karen. I'm going with you. Luke's my best friend and I want to see how he is doing."
