Chapter 10
July had come upon the gang quickly. Brooke and Peyton decided to have Haley's party on the 2nd so that Nathan could do something for her on her actual birthday. It was the day of the party and everything was all set up at Brooke's house. All the people were having a good time waiting for Haley to arrive. Nathan was going to get Haley and bring her over to Brooke's. When Nathan got to Haley's house the phone was ringing so Haley let him in then ran to answer the phone.
"Hello?" she said once she got to the phone.
"Hi is Haley James there?" a male voice said.
"I'm Haley."
"Hello, I'm calling to let you know that your father was in an accident and he fell into a coma." the voice said.
"What? No!" Haley said tears starting to fall. "Where is he?"
"Connecticut national hospital."
After Haley hung up she fell to the floor luckily to be caught by Nathan.
"What's wrong Hales?" he asked as she cried in his arms.
"My dad's in a coma." Haley cried as Nathan pulled her tighter into his arms.
"Where's Nathan and Haley? They should have been here half an hour ago." Brooke said.
"They are probably just doing stuff." Peyton replied.
"No somethings wrong, I can tell." Brooke replied.
"Are you sure Brooke?" Jake asked.
"Yea somethings wrong."
"Come on babe, I'll take you over there." Lucas said getting his car keys.
"What if he's not ok? What will I do Nate?" Haley cried.
"Don't worry Hales, he'll be ok." Nate said comfortingly.
"How do you know that?" she cried.
"You just have to believe."
"I...I have to go see him." Haley cried.
"I'll come with you." no Nate you...you don't have to."
"Yes I do. You're my girlfriend and you need someone with you right now. I'm, not letting you go through this alone. I'm coming with you."
"Thanks Nate." Haley said hugging him.
"Hales, you here?" Brooke called walking into Haley's house.
"Hales what's wrong?" she asked when she found Haley in the living room crying in Nathan's arms.
"My...my dad." Haley started before breaking down.
"Hales, what's wrong with your dad?" Brooke asked worried.
"He's in a coma." she cried.
"Oh my god Hales!" Brooke cried.
"Sh Brooke its ok." Lucas said pulling her into his arms.
For the rest of the night the four of them stayed at Haley's house both Brooke and Haley ended up crying themselves to sleep. The next day Nathan woke up with Haley in his arms. Today was the day they were going up to Connecticut so Haley could go see her dad. While in Connecticut Nathan planned on going to get his crap from his school that just so happened to be up in Connecticut. He hadn't told anyone yet but he planned on spending his senior year at Tree Hill High and not some dumb ass school his dad made him got to. He wanted to spend his last year of high school with his brother, friends, and his girlfriend. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Haley.
"Morning." she said quietly.
"Hey, you ready to go see your dad?"
"Not really. God I wish he wasn't in a coma."
"I know Hales." Nathan said pulling her into his arms and kissing her lightly on the forehead.
"God Nate what would I do without you?" Haley asked.
