Brooke was at home watching the News when she heard about the shootings at Riverside. As soon as she heard about it she called Haley and Nathan into the living room with her and Lucas. The four of them sat there in complete silence as they watched the helicopter fly over the basketball courts. Nathan was so nervous, he was praying to god that Heather and Seth, mainly Heather, were alright. He got up and grabbed his cell to call Heather but she didn't pick up. He heard the blood curdling scream from Haley, and turned to look at the T.V. and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Run Heather, don't stop now just keep running come on we're gonna be alright don't give up please don't give up." Seth was scared to death, he had never been so worried in his life. When he heard the first gun shot go off he felt his hear sink as he turned to see Heather, with blood pouring down her left arm. They kept running with Seth pulling Heather, he didn't know exactly where to take her. He was headed West which was the way home... if he could get Heather home soon he could drop her off and then come back here. He had a feeling he knew who the shooter was. Finally he got to the main road and they kept running, five more minutes they were sprinting up Heathers drive way. Seth didn't knock before busting through the door. He set Heather down on the couch beside Haley, turned and ran off shouting back, "I have to try to stop him."When Seth got back to the Riverside courts, he heard men shouting and ran through the woods to find them. When he came to an opening he saw 5 police officers surrounding a young man with a gun in his hand. It wasn't who Seth had thought it was going to be. Which was a good thing. Finally after 10 minutes of talking calmly to the boy one of the police officers was able to get his gun off him. He was then cuffed and taken to jail. Seth ran to his car in a hurry to get back to Heathers house and se if she was going to be alright. When he arrived there, he saw a familiar truck in the driveway. He couldn't remember who's it was. He walked to the front door and knocked, when Peyton answered and saw who it was, she backed up and let him inside he went straight to Heathers side, Kneeling down beside her on the couch. She looked a lot better. There was a big bandage on her arm. "I'm so sorry." He didn't know why he said it, he knew it wasn't his fault that this happened but he felt responsible for her. When he heard a door open behind him and saw Dan Scott. He had to hold himself down, he always disliked that man. But then again he was never one to get along with betrayers. Seth sat down beside Heather on the couch and wraped his arms around her. Nathan came into the room 10 seconds later and was shocked to find that he didn't feel like he needed to pummel Seth's head into the ground. Haley was in the kitchen crying to Brooke and Lucas. The poor girl had been so scared.
When Dan saw Seth sitting beside heather he tensed just a bit. The boy had never seemed to like him and he wasn't sure why. What was he doing here with his arms around Heather? Dan came as soon as he heard Heather was at Riverside, by the time he had gotten to there house. She was unconscious, when she woke up he was the one standing over her. Asking if she was alright, or if she needed anything. All she had wanted to know was where the hell was Seth and why could she not feel her left arm. Dan had a hard time explaining things considering he dindt know all the answers himself. After all that comforting all Heather wanted was this boy. She looked so comfortable in his arms.
Heather was scared out of her mind when she woke up and no one knew where Seth was. She had never felt like that for anyone and it scared her that she now did. When he sat beside her on the couch and wrapped his arms around her she couldn't have been more happier.
Brooke didn't know what it was about Seth, but there was just something she didn't like. He reminded her of someone. She was shocked to hear the doorbell ring but got up and answered it anyways. Knowing no one else wanted to.When she saw the doorbell left on the porch had her name on it she went still. Who would send her something at 11:00 at night?? She picked it up and nearly fainted when she read the note inside the envelope.
10:00, tomorrow night. Riverside courts
CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU. COME PREPARED.
