Lost in the Past
Chapter 10
A/N - Wow that was an amazing response from you guys for Chapter 9. I'm really glad you guys liked it because I really enjoyed writing it after it got deleted like 3 times from my computer. But anyway I hope you all like this chapter. In the next few chapters it will be jumping a little between years and things but here it is...
We last left off as Haley fell off a boat in Venice. She was knocked off by none other than Chris. He will be a major bad guy in this story so be sure to hate him. Here it goes:
Everyone in the boats near by came to a halt. They were all unsure of what to do for the young girl. Only a small amount of time later the EMT's came floating up with a drowned looking Haley. They were frantic to get her breathing again. CPR was being done and an ambulance on a boat was just arriving. The people were all looking at Chris who had pulled off a fake crying act. With the way Chris looked holding Will none of the people had the heart to put the blame on him. So he climbed into the ambulance holding Will and they were off to the hospital.
Nathan was wandering around the house waiting for Luke to get back with the kids. He walked in the door with the two of them and Nathan put a smile on his face. "Hey you two!" Nathan said trying to get his mind off of not hearing from Haley for a while. "Uncle Nathan!" they both screamed running into his arms. Luke stood near the door watching the scene. He wished it was Peyton standing there greeting the kids. They'd gotten in another fight right before he took the kids.
FLASHBACK
"They're ready and just have them back by like 8. Ok?" she asked trying to avoid too much conversation.
"Peyton, we can have a god damn conversation. I won't cheat on you while I'm talking," he said angrily.
"You know what Lucas don't start this shit here. I don't want to hear it. You know what you did and I don't want to have to deal with it anymore. We're over! Here are the kids," she responded. "You guys be good with your daddy," she said near their ears.
He opened the door and put them in the car. "Shit," he mumbled under his breath.
END OF FLASHBACK
The hospital was just outside the town and they were there in a matter of minutes.
"Ok sir you'll just have to wait here," the EMT said politely. He was worried about the girl's condition but didn't want to let on that she might not be ok. Chris nodded. He saw that his plan was working, now all he'd have to do was figure out how to get rid of Will. He didn't want the kid all he wanted was Haley. He wanted a wife who would let him do what he wanted and still loved him. He wanted a push over wife and if Haley was gonna do that then he was going to have her. The doctor came back out only a few minutes later.
Nathan was out in the backyard with the kids while Luke was trying to wash clothes. "This sucks," he said aloud.
"Yea, now you know what I went through all those times you were off in 'college'" she said giving him quote fingers.
"Peyton," he said not looking at her.
"Look, I know we fight a lot now but if you wouldn't mind maybe tomorrow you could do something for me?" she asked her ex husband reluctantly.
"I would do anything for you," he replied putting back the boyish charm in his sentence, "but I don't want you to like leave me here with the kids while you go get married or something," he said with a smirk. She couldn't help, but laugh. She almost had a few tears when she saw how easy this used to be. They were talking like normal and making each other laugh. "Well, I wanted you to go to dinner with me tomorrow night just so we could sort a few things out. I don't' want to hurt the kids with this fighting and we just need to talk," she replied very reluctantly. His mouth was slightly open. He hadn't expected this.
The doctor came back out and looked at Chris. He'd never been fond of telling any news to his patients family. He didn't want to hurt the young kid or his son. "Well, sir. Haley seems to have suffered no major injuries, but one. She lost a lot of her long term memory. It's a very slim chance that she'll get it back. Now, if you would like we can arrange something for your son and you to be able to help her," the doctor said looking at Chris. Now Chris had it all coming together. Haley losing her memory was even better than he expected.
"Well, actually I'm not his father. His father lives in the United States. I was hoping since she lost her memory that we could send him back with his father and let him live there until I can get my wife readjusted. If that's in any way possible I would appreciate it," Chris said putting up his fake niceness act. The doctor couldn't see through it. All he saw was a struggling young kid wanting to help his wife readjust to normal life before getting her son back.
"I think that can be arranged," the doctor said a smiling that Chris wanted to help Haley so much. Chris had some evil plans and he was ready to unleash them to the world.
Luke looked straight into Peyton's eyes and was unprepared to see what was staring back at him. There was friendly look and an almost liking. He hadn't seen that in nearly 2 ½ years. "Sure, I'd love to go. It's pretty funny that we're almost right back where we started," he said through a smile. She smiled back and said she'd be there around 6. She grabbed the kids and walked out the door.
Chris walked through the door of Haley's hospital room. He was ready to finally act like her boyfriend and was gonna do it his way. "Hey babe," he said quietly as she opened her eyes. "Who are you?" she asked curiously. "Well, we're engaged. You lost the ring when you fell in the water. I'm Chris," he said sitting next to the bed. "Oh...wow I'm engaged! I...thought you were different looking. I kinda pictured you with dark hair and I thought you were taller," she said shyly. Immediately Chris thought of the pictures of Nathan. He was gonna work harder to get her. Suddenly her cell phone rang which he picked up and pretended was his.
"Hello," he said.
"Uh...is Haley there? I wanted to talk to her if this is the right number," the man said on the other line.
"Actually no, she is in bed right now," Chris said hearing Nathan's voice.
"Who are you?" Nathan asked feeling anger that another man knew Haley was in bed.
"I'm her boyfriend and if you don't mind I'd like to go back to bed," he said with an evil smile.
Nathan hung the phone up as fast as he could. His head was spinning that she would date another guy when she seemed so happy with him.
"How could she do this to me?" he said loudly as his words rang throughout the house.
Will was being shipped off today. It was the day after Haley's accident. He hadn't even seen his mom but Chris said he was gonna go visit his daddy for a while. He was so excited. He always wanted to meet his basketball star dad. The stewardess on the plane was watching him as they were getting ready to land. "Are you excited about being here?" she asked nicely to the two year old.
"My daddy!" he said as she giggled at him. They had just landed and the stewardess was going to take a cab and drop him off at the given address.
They were at the house about 20 minutes later and she knocked at the door. Nathan was sitting on the couch thinking back to the events of the night before. He'd hung up the phone and run up the stairs as tears clouded his vision. He flung the medicine cabinet open and found the shiny metal razor blade. He was putting it dangerously close to his wrist when Lucas walked upstairs looking for his little brother.
"Nathan, no!!" Luke shouted in horror as Nathan stood there. Lucas wrestled with Nathan and grabbed the razor. Luke's heart was pounding out of his chest and he was standing above Nathan.
"We worked too hard for you to just give up because a guy answered Haley's phone. She'll be coming home soon anyway so don't go hurting yourself without knowing the facts," Luke said feeling sad for his brother.
The knocking at the door threw him out of his thoughts. He opened the door to find a scared looking little boy beneath him. The stewardess looked at him and handed him the birth certificate and a note. Nathan had no idea who the kid was or anything about the situation.
"Mr. Nathan Scott?" she asked unsure.
"Yea, that's me," he said trying to figure out what in the hell was going on.
"Well sir this is your son William," she said looking at him like he should've known.
"What?!"
