Chapter 11,

Haley choked back tears as she watched the screaming ambulance trail off into the distance. Knowing that it held Nathan her sweet Nathan. Police started redirecting traffic; Lucas walked up behind Haley and pulled her close. He pressed his forehead to hers and inhaled deeply.

"I hate seeing you like this." Lucas said, his hands rubbing her back softly.

"I will be fine, Nathan will be fine." Haley said trying to smile. But as soon as she thought she had gotten the hang of it, the smile turned into a frown. And she looked like she had before. Red eyed and wet.

Lucas walked Haley to his car. He pressed her body into his comforting her. He opened the passenger door and helped her into the seat. He turned to take a look at the accident sight. They had cleaned up most of the blood; there were a few shards of glass still spread out about the road. With a sigh he got into his car and turned up the heat. Haley sat quiet; shaking from the cold temperature. He tried to smile one of those smiles that are supposed to be encouraging, but knew that he couldn't look at Haley and say everything was going to be okay. For the biggest part, he wished things would be okay.

Lucas stared at the red light, waiting for the green. Not a car was in sight. He ran a hand across his forehead and tried to wake himself up.

"Haley do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Lucas said leaning back into the seat.

Haley lifted her head up from her hand. "Lucas can you just take me to your house? I really don't want to see Nathan he looks so helpless Lucas. Like he had nothing to live for. I was crying and he was trying to calm me. He was sitting there on the road and all he could think about was me." Haley said fresh tears sprung to her eyes.

"Okay Haley, but what about your parents? Do they even know where you were last night?" Lucas said watching the light turn green. He stepped on the gas and went on down the road.

"I can just tell them I was staying the night with Payten." Haley said as if she had lied many times.

"Okay but if your dad comes over my house with a baseball bat I am going to blame you!" Lucas said trying to make Haley smile. But it only made her cry more. "That was supposed to be funny." Lucas said stopping the car as he reached his house.

"I guess I'm not in the best mood." Haley wiped away the tears from her eyes and stepped out onto the sidewalk.

Lucas walked around the car and placed a hand around Haley's waist. They both made their way to Lucas's door. Keith opened the door just as Lucas had placed his hand on the doorknob.

"Okay before you both enter this house I need some answers okay? For one where is Nathan?" Keith said stepping out onto the porch.

"He was in an accident." Haley said looking to the floor.

"When now when he left our house?" Keith said his facial expressions twisted.

"He was speeding. I didn't want Haley to be alone so I wanted her to come home with me. Keith I'm sorry about this morning. We kind of left in a hurry."

"So now Nathan is in the hospital?" Keith said grabbing his coat.

"Yeah he should be there right now." Haley said.

"I still have my questions but I am going to take a ride down there. I bet Dan is freaking out right?"

"He actually wasn't there." Haley and Lucas said in unison.

"Well Lucas your mother called she is supposed to be home tomorrow. You two make sure that nothing else goes wrong. Okay and if anyone else calls hang up." Keith walked down the step of the porch and got into his car.

Lucas and Haley watch as he goes down the road. A familiar black car pulled up beside the sidewalk and Dan Scott stepped out. He walked half way up to the porch, not saying a word. He laughed suddenly. Seeing the shocked look in Lucas's eye he walked up the stairs and next to Lucas.

"You think by killing my boy you are going to reserve a place in my heart?"

"Hey I didn't kill Nathan he was speeding." Lucas said angrily.

"Lucas is dead?" Haley mumbled under her breath.

"That would make your day wouldn't it? To see Nathan dead, so that you and Lucas could carry out your fantasies. Well he isn't dead yet."

Lucas opened the door and walked Haley inside. "I think you need to go now. You should be with your son then standing here lecturing us." Lucas said slamming the door in Dan's face. Haley jumped as she heard the hard pound on the door. The screaming curses and pounds continued for a few more seconds. Lucas held Haley close and didn't move an inch until he heard Dan's car speed off into the distance.
"I can't believe he had the nerve to come here and say those things Luke." Haley said in a whisper.

"Could this day get any worse?" Lucas said letting go of Haley. Haley took off her wet jacket and laid it on the couch. "Your freezing Halz." He said watching her bare arms shiver.

"It is kind of cold." Haley said slowly.

Lucas got up from the couch and walked into his mother's room. Haley followed him slowly. Lucas opened Karen's closet door and pulled out a shirt. He turned around to hand it to Haley. But suddenly he dropped it as he eyed Haley. She already had her cloths off. All of them. He moved closer to him and traced her fingers up the line in his chest. Lucas took a deep breath and looked into her brown eyes.

"Lucas make love to me now." Haley said rising on her tiptoes to kiss him. Lucas moaned softly at the feel of her soft skin on his. With in seconds his shirt was off and they were tearing the covers off of the bed.

"Haley I want you so bad." Lucas said feeling her kiss her way down his chest. He leaned back onto the bed pulled her up to him.
