One Tree Hill

I have a plan

After dad and Nathan had World War III over this whole boarding school thing I just really needed to get out of the house. I grabbed my ball and headed to the River Court, it was empty thank god. I just really wanted to be alone. I was playing for a good hour before I heard someone behind me.

"Well if it isn't the youngest Scott."

I turned around and saw one of Nathan's friends. I always liked this one because he was always nice to me and Luke.

"Hey Jake, what's happening?"

"Well from what I hear you're heading off to boarding school?"

He asked coming onto the court. I continued to play to blow off some steam as he watched me make shot after shot.

"Yep, for all I know Nate and dad are still fighting over it."

"How's Luke taking it?"

"He's trying to convince Uncle Keith to adopt me." I said laughing.

"You know this could be a good thing for you."

I spun around and gave him a look of disbelieve.

"You're joking? Please tell me you're joking."

"Well, think of it this way you'll be playing on a team which will help you get into the WNBA that's what you always wanted right?"

I continued to play,"Yeah it is but I want to do on my own. Show the world that this Scott doesn't need scholarships or organized teams. I want to prove that I'm good enough to make it without all that crap."

"You want to be separate from your brothers." He said knowingly.

"Yep, besides I have a plan to get me out of the city of brotherly love before you know it."

"And that would be?"

"I'm going to stay there and play on the team for a week, after one week I'll quit. No more scholarship it's great!"

"Can't your dad afford to send you there without the scholarship?"

"Yeah, of course but I did some research this place is very well known for their academics."

"So?"

"Jake, with my grades they won't even let me walk by the school."

He laughed as I went to the hoop for a dunk. I swung from the hop and dropped. I knew the second I hit the ground something was wrong. My ankle went the wrong way. I screamed in pain.

"Memphis!" Jake yelled coming over to me.

I grabbed my ankle then blacked out from the pain of it all. I awoke and immediately tried to jump up.

"Whoa, calm down Memphis, you're all right."

I looked around and saw Nathan and Lucas on either side of me, Brooke, Peyton, Haley, and Jake sitting around playing cards, and Uncle Keith pacing.

"What the hell happened?"

I asked laying back down in what looked to be a hospital bed. Oh this is freaking fantastic.

"Your plan backfired Memphis." Jake said laughing lightly at me.

"Great!" I said sarcastically.

"Okay Memphis, I have to tell you something and you're going to be really mad but you have to let me finish." Nate said slowly.

"Oh Christ this can't be good." I said rolling my eyes.

"You busted your ankle pretty good."

"No!" I yelled. Of all my damn body parts the one that has to break is the one I need to play basketball. Shit!

"It gets worse…You can't play basketball for a month."

"A month, no this is bull shit!"

"Mem, I'm so sorry…"

"It's not your fault. It's mine I shouldn't have landed like that I know better."

"Don't blame your self, Memphis." Jake said coming over to the bed.

"Oh god Jake thanks so much for getting me here. If it wasn't for you I'd probably still be on the Court."

"No problem Mem." He smiled and winked, "Well I better take off. Anyone need a lift?"

"Well, now that you're awake I guess we should head back." Peyton said signaling to her and Brooke, "Do you mind Jake?"

"Not at all, what about you Haley?"

"Yeah, Sure. I'll see you later guys."

They all gave me hugs before leaving. Now it was just Uncle Keith, Luke, and Nate in the room.

"Where's dad?" I asked Nate.

"He's trying to get in touch with mom."

"You think she'll actually come home?"

"Maybe…"

"Hey you know you guys there is an upside to this!" Uncle Keith said.

"What's that?" Luke asked.

"Now you can't go to the boarding school because you can't play. This buys you about a month of time to convince your mom to get you out of it."

"Oh my god, Nate! He's right! All we have to do is talk mom into letting me stay!" I said excitedly.

"Memphis!" My dad yelled coming into the room looking completely pissed.

"Hi dad, yeah I'm fine thanks for asking." I said sarcastically.

"Cute. What the hell where you thinking jumping off the hoop like you did. I can actually see you swinging form it wrong causing this whole thing to occur. God can't you ever think for once."

"Danny lay off her man she just found out she can't play basketball for a month." Uncle Keith said.

"You know what Keith? When you have your own kids you can say and do whatever you want to them so back off mine."

"He does have a kid, me. He's more my father then you'll ever be." Lucas said standing up next to Keith.

"He's been more of a father to all of us then you have." Nate piped up.

"Nate you shut up. Keith, please escort my mistake from the room. He has no reason to be here." Dan said smirking at Luke.

"He's my brother and I want him here. I do not however, want you here. Please leave dad."

"If you think for a second this will get you out of going to Philadelphia you're dead wrong, young lady!" He yelled then stormed out the door.

"So, is anyone up for a game of virtual basketball?" Nate said pulling out his portable game from his pocket.

"Give it! If I'm going to be off the court for a month this game is now mine." I yelled grabbing it from him.
