CHAPTER 1

I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

He dropped the phone, no this wasn't happening, the words, "I'm sorry your wife didn't make it." Echoed in his head, wife? What were they, he didn't know.

"I want this to work out Nathan, don't u think I'm sorry, you will never know how sorry I am, I came back, I came back for us Nathan." She said, her voice breaking, he closed his eyes, he couldn't let her get to him, she had hurt him enough, he couldn't find the words to say, as much as he tried he couldn't let her go, he was still in love with her no matter how she shattered his heart.

She looked over at him, he was silent and for once she couldn't read his expression, it was distant and cold and it was all her doing. Without warning his lips were against hers and he closed the door shut.

The next morning she was gone and he was left empty once again.

Someone put a hand on his shoulder, it was Peyton, she looked like she hadn't slept, "Nathan come on." She whispered gently, he shook his head stubbornly, refusing to believe this was happening, it hadn't hit him yet.

"No, no Peyt, she's fine, she's not gone, we just had a fight that's all." He exclaimed not willing to believe any other way.

Someone walked in the room, it was Taylor, her mascara was smeared and she looked lost, he looked into her eyes and knew it was true, Haley James Scott was gone, an accident and nothing would bring her back.
