One Tree Hill

I learn from the best

"Ug! I hate being helpless! This completely blows!"

I screamed trying to get down the stairs with my crutches. It's been three days since I was released from the hospital and so far life sucks.

"Didn't I tell you to just go down on your butt and drag your crutches down?" Nate asked helping me down.

"Yes, but I didn't listen."

"Obviously, mom's coming home today."

"Really?" I don't know exactly what I was feeling when he told me but I know it wasn't happiness.

"Yeah, actually she should be here any minute."

"Nate…"

"Yeah?"

"What if she agrees with dad about the boarding school?"

"She won't."

"How do you know?"

"When has mom ever agreed with dad?" Nate said smirking.

"Good point."

He set me down on the couch then sat next to me and flipped on ESPN. We were watching it for about an hour when Dad and Mom came home from the airport. Nate helped me up so we could hug mom not that I was in a big rush to hug the women who was never there for me.

"Hi mom…" I said as she squeezed me into a hug.

"Sweet heart I'm so sorry I wasn't here. Don't worry you wont have to lift a finger for the next month!" She said placing me back down on the couch.

"Well this is as best a time as any to tell you that Dad plans on shipping me off to a boarding school in Philadelphia actually I was supposed to leave next week but now he wants to wait till I'm on my ankle again to send me." I said smirking at my dad. Take that, I thought.

"What?" My mom yelled at my dad, "You're not sending her to a boarding school. You must be losing your mind!"

"Well, we have to be getting to my basketball game. See you later."

Nate helped me up and got us out of there as quickly as possible. When we got to the gym I sat with Uncle Keith, Karen, and Haley. About 30 minutes into the first half Dan showed up and sat in front of us. He turned towards us and looked at Uncle Keith.

"Well big brother did you know that the young girl you love so much has become the town slut. We should start calling her the Mary Magdalene of Tree Hill."

He smiled evilly at me because he knew I hated to disappoint Uncle Keith. But he just wrapped his arm around and smiled at Dan.

"Yeah Danny I knew and I must say I'm very proud of her."

"Besides dad I learn from the best. I do believe you have two sons on that court." I waved to Nate and Lucas while Dad just glared at me.

"You better hope your mother doesn't go on any more business trips because the second she does you're on a plane to Pennsylvania."

I smiled happily knowing my mother told him he wasn't shipping me off. I grabbed my crutches and with some trouble, climbed down the bleachers to the bench. I went over to Lucas, Nate, Jake, and Whitey.

"Mom told him I'm not going anywhere!" I yelled.

Nate grabbed me into a hug causing me to drop my crutches. Then Lucas and Jake did the same. Whitey patted my shoulder proudly then told me to get off the court. But I don't care because for once I figured everything's going to be alright…Right?
