1ThNalEy23: Yeah, but Estes is in the mountains. It's like home of the avalanche. It's totally possible and probably has happened up there more than once. I live in Boulder, Colorado and it's even happened down here so…
ON WITH THE STORY!
"Did you get him?" Ashley asked. She was sitting across from Nikki at the table in their small motel room.
"Yeah, your scream was great," Nikki complimented. Ashley flipped her fire red hair behind her and shrugged.
"It's weird, I can do a perfect imitation of this girl and I've never even met her." Ashley pointed out.
"Well, Nathan fell in love with her and he even thought it was Haley so I think you did fine. You got him to crash, just like we planned."
"So what are we going to do now?"
"Just keep killing them off until Jake has no one to run to." Nikki explained.
"But you can't keep making them crash by telling them you have their loved one. I can only do so many voices!" Ashley protested.
"We'll figure something out; at least I know I will." Nikki snickered and pulled out her phone. She had plans to make.
"God, where is he?" Haley asked for the third time that night. Nathan had left three hours ago and it was starting to get dark.
"Hales, I'm sure he's fine. He probably is just taking a long time to find someone to help." Peyton reassured her even though she was starting to worry herself. This wasn't like Nathan; usually he would have called already. Lucas heard the phone ring and got up to get it.
"Hello…yes…why…Oh my god…thank you." Lucas hung up and ran back into the room.
"It's Nathan, he's in the hospital." Lucas said grabbing his coat and keys. Haley gasped and burst into tears. Some how they managed to get everyone to the hospital, including Jenny. Haley had stopped crying long enough to ask what happened and once Lucas finished his story, she burst back into fits of bawling.
"Hales, Nathan's strong. He'll pull through this; he wouldn't leave you even if he was a second from death." Jake assured her. Haley flew out of the car before Lucas had even thought of stopping. Brooke and Peyton sped out after her as soon as Lucas had slowed down enough.
"I'm looking for Nathan Scott." Haley cried to the receptionist.
"He's in room 204 but he's not out of surgery yet. You may go up and wait in that waiting room if you like." She said. Haley ran to the elevators just as the rest of the group came running in.
"Haley! Haley wait up!" Peyton yelled after her. There was no one in the waiting room when they arrived. They chose the furthest corner and all sat down. No one spoke, all in their own thoughts. They heard footsteps and six very anxious heads snapped up. It was a doctor.
"Are you here for Molly Shepard's?" the doctor asked. Haley started to cry harder and while everyone else shook their heads no.
"What if he's not okay?" Haley whimpered.
"He will be, Hales. I promise." Brooke reached over and squeezed her knee. Finally, another doctor came down the hall from what looked like the direction of 204.
"Are you here for Nath…" the doctor started but couldn't finish before six 'yes's' interrupted him. They all rushed over, crowding him with questions of concern. Haley was too broken to say or do anything other then wait. She couldn't even get up and walk over to them.
"Okay, Nathan's going to be fine. He'll need time to recover but he's going to be okay. Thankfully he was on the opposite side of the car when the other car hit him so there is minimal damage in this kind of situation. He broke both of his legs and got a minor concussion. He'll need a few days to recover enough to get home but he is awake and ready for visitors." Dr. Phillips said. Brooke squealed and ran over to Haley.
"I told you, I told you! He only has a minor concussion and broke both his legs!" Brooke was crying with joy.
"Really, really!" Haley screamed.
"You may go see him now, just a few at a time." Dr. Phillips received six very relieved thank you's and walked off.
"Haley, you should go see him first." Peyton pushed her into the room.
"Haley," Nathan said with as much strength as he could muster.
"Nathan!" Haley practically screamed. She ran over to him and jumped on the bed. It didn't matter that Nathan was in pain at the sudden movement he was just so happy to have her in his arms again.
"How did you get away from Nikki?" Nathan asked.
"What are you talking about? I was never with that bitch." Haley replied.
"What!" Nathan practically yelled.
"Nathan, what are you talking about?" Haley jumped off at the sudden change of emotion.
"She called me and said that you were with her. I heard you screaming! And that's when I crashed." Nathan explained.
"Holy shit, I knew it. Do you see what she did? She pretended to have me so that you would freak out and crash! She's trying to kill all of us so that Jake has to give up and give her Jenny." Haley cried.
"Haley you're over reacting again. Nikki hasn't done anything life threatening yet." Nathan mumbled. Haley noticed that he was drifting back into sleep.
"No, you're not in the hospital because Nikki just didn't trick you into crashing the car because she didn't pretend to be holding me hostage because she really doesn't want Jenny for herself." Haley argued.
"Right," Nathan said. He was barely audible by now. Haley sighed and lay down next to him resting her head on his chest, letting herself fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat. Everyone decided to wait before going in to see Nathan. Lucas poked his head in just to make sure that he was really okay. Nurses rolled up cots for them to sleep on in the waiting room far in the corner, out of everyone's way.
"You stay in the car. I'll call you if I need back up." Nikki said before she slammed the door in Ashley's face. They had just gotten to the hospital and Nikki was ready to kick someone's ass.
"Hello, I'm looking for Nathan Scott." She said to the receptionist.
"Yes, room 204. You're just in time. I just got word that he was awake. But, you might want to wait until tomorrow to see him; he'll be sleeping like a rock tonight." The woman said.
"Of course, thank you." Nikki said sweetly. She checked behind her to make sure Ashley had followed orders. She had. Nikki took her time getting up to the second floor and then over to 204. She opened the door to see Nathan sleeping and Haley, awake, drawing circles on his chest. Nikki closed the door carefully and crept over to the others. She was closest to Brooke Davis, The Preppy Princess of Tree Hill High. I might as well get her over with first. She won't put up a fight. Nikki thought. She pressed her hand over Brooke's mouth right under her nose so that she couldn't breathe. Brooke's brow furrowed before she started slashing around. Her eyes flew open and she tried to push Nikki off. She watched as the weak girl thrashed at a decreasing pace. Nikki let a little laugh escape her lips before she could stop it. Peyton woke up and looked over at Brooke.
"No!" she screamed. Nikki looked up and let go of Brooke ready to run. Haley came out of Nathan's room to see what had caused Peyton's scream. She grabbed Nikki's arms and spun her around.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Haley yelled.
"Nothing, I just want my daughter back." Nikki smiled.
"Nikki?" Jake asked. He saw Brooke gasping for air and connected the loose ends. Peyton got up and slapped Nikki with all of the strength in her body.
"Get away from here! You are never getting Jenny! You don't deserve her you slut." Peyton spat.
"Sticks and stones, bitch." Nikki retorted. Peyton swung at her, causing Nikki to loose her balance and crash to the ground with blood streaming from her mouth.
"You're disgusting. It will take Jenny her whole life of showers to be clean of you." Peyton kicked her and went back to Brooke.
"Jake, I still love you. We can do this together. No one has to get hurt." Nikki coughed. Jake burst into laughter.
"You think I'm coming back to you after all of this? You're pathetic, you know that? You tried, unsuccessfully, to kill two of my best friends, you tried to get my daughter, you have been stalking us for the last two years, and once we get back to Tree Hill it won't matter how hard you try because there's no way you're breaking out of jail." Jake said still laughing.
"Jake…" Nikki just wasn't giving up.
"No, I'm not done yet. After jail, you're being put into an insane asylum for uncontrollable stalking." Jake informed her.
"How do you know?" Nikki regained her strength.
"Wait, you thought I was just going to sit back and watch you get closer and closer everyday to my baby without doing anything?" Jake laughed again, "You're dumber than even I thought." He turned to Peyton and kissed her passionately right there. Peyton wrapped her arms around Jake's neck and pulled him closer. Nikki screamed and ran out. They all got up and went into Nathan's room to explain why they had woken him up.
"This was such a long night, I'm going to bed." Peyton complained and went back to her cot. Jenny started crying, there was no way anyone was getting sleep tonight.
Yay! I had to get that chapter out. I bet you ALL thought Nikki really did have Haley didn't you!Just admit it,it's okay.I don't think there'll be anymore Nikki but you never know…Let me know if you want spoilers and I'll find a way to get them to you. Keep reviewing!
