Haley, lying on her bed watching the ceiling, could not stop thinking about that baby growing up inside. What was she going to do? After a few minutes, she decided to see a doctor. After that, she would make a decision. Having a kid at 17 years old wasn't what she had planned but now it was reality. Rolling on her side, Haley fell into a deep sleep filled with strange dreams about Nathan.
Running to the park, headphones cutting him from the rest of the world, Lucas Scott kept wondering how Haley's pregnancy had ended up in the magazine. Speaking of which, why was it saying Chris was the father? Hadn't Haley said it was Nathan's? Deep inside Lucas wanted to believe his friend but something sounded fishy. If she loved Nathan then why was she staying in New York?
Deb Scott pushed Dan Scott Motors' door open. Holding a folded magazine, she walked straight to Dan's office.
-Deb! What a surprise! Okay, what have I done again?
-Nothing. Look what I just read, she said handing him the magazine open on Haley's page. Dan picked up the magazine wondering what could be so important in it for Deb to come here. His eyes widened and his lips curled into a evil smirk.
-See I told you that girl was only trouble. Does Nathan know about this?
-I don't know. Maybe.
-Then I hope he'll finally see her for the little slut that she is.
Deb decided not to answer to that. Somehow she had the impression that there was much more to that story than the article said. I gotta talk to Nathan.
Nathan Scott still couldn't believe his wife had done such things to him. It wasn't Haley, it didn't look like her but the proof were all there straight in his face: Haley didn't love him anymore. She was with Chris and they were going to be parents. A knock could be heard at the door but he did not bother opening the door. He did not feel like it.
-Nate? Man, are you here?
It was Lucas who entered. He walked up to Nathan's bedroom and found his brother, crying. He had never been exactly the one to wipe someone's tears but he still sat on the bed and put an hand on Nathan's shoulder.
-I'm here Nate. You can talk if you want…
-Why! Why did she do this to me?
-If only I knew. I simply don't understand. Haley's not like that, there must be another explanation.
-No. The magazine said it. And Haley's not coming back, she's not even calling her best friend. She's done with Tree Hill Luke.
-Actually… she did call me…
-WHAT! And you didn't tell me?
-She called two days ago and I flew to New York to see her. She was a mess Nate. She told me she was pregnant.
-You saw her! You should have told me Luke! I thought we were brother! Get out of here!
Nathan stood up, threatening. He slammed the front door open.
-But that's not all!
-I said get out. I don't wanna hear it. I trusted you and you betrayed me.
Lucas left the apartment cause he knew there was no way he would be able to talk to Nathan more today. But he had to tell him that Haley told him Nathan was the father. He had to find a way and for that he needed his mother's advises. She always knew what to do in those kind of situations.
-Hi Luke.
-Hi Mom. I need to talk to you about something.
-Is it about Haley?
-Yeah. How did you know?
-I heard some people talking about that article few hours ago.
-I see… and you think it's true?
-No, I know Haley better than that.
-I thought I knew her too.
-Luke! You can't just give up on her because of that article. You saw her yourself.
-I know that Mom.
-Then what did she say?
-She said the baby was Nathan's.
-That's great. Well at least better than Chris'.
-But she isn't coming back Mom. She said her career was too important. And I don't understand that. She always cared for others before herself. I don't recognise her anymore.
-Haley Scott is a great young woman Luke, she'll realise soon enough that she's lost herself.
-I hope you're right Mom.
Sitting behind his desk, Dan Scott was thinking about his son Nathan. He was deeply mad at Haley for breaking his son's life into pieces. Because of her he had quit basketball, he had stood up to his parents and moved out of the house. He was so angry that his hands were shaking. Suddenly, a sharp pain caught him in the chest. He knew it was another heart attack he already had one before. Before his eyes he could see his life passing like a movie. Basketball games, the day he met Deborah, baby Lucas and Karen, Nathan's birth, his wedding, the day he bought his dealership, Nathan's games… And finally Haley. The one he would hold responsible for his death. His body collapsed to the ground, motionless and lifeless.
-Mr Scott, a call for you on line 3. Mr Scott? Mr Scott! Oh my God! Somebody call an ambulance, his secretary shouted.
