So. This chapter is short. But it gets the point across.Hann andNicky are the girls nicknames.I don't know where i got Hann, but its like notall of Hannah? Iguess. Whatever.Iris is the title of this chapter, and also the song in italics throughout the chapter. I thought It fit. I absolutely love that song. It is by Goo Goo Dolls for those of you who lived under a rock during I think it was 1998. WAY OFF TOPIC, sorry. I didn't think I'd Update today, since i did like yesterday, but here it is anyways.

Chapter 11: Iris

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming

Or the moment of truth in your lies

Guests filed into the church, all awaiting what was to be the 'Wedding of the Summer' in faithful Tree Hill. Paparazzi had found the little church when Kristin's mother 'accidentally' slipped to a few reporters where the wedding of Nathan Scott and his fiancé was to be. And then when Haley was walking into the Café one spotted her and bombarded her with questions. She was pulled into the Café by Lucas, who had gotten the police to keep them out.

"It's crazy out there. If another person asks me how I feel about Nathan getting married, I may just jump off a bridge." He grumbles.

"Don't do that. I need you to take care of Hannah when I jump off first." She chuckles.

"Are you going to the wedding?"

"No. Hello? The ex-wife going to the wedding? A little too weird for me thanks."

"Yeah. I guess. I kinda have to go, wether I like her or not. I'm best man now."

"Since when?" She exclaimed.

"Like 6am this morning. Apparently he 'forgot.'"

"You don't like her either?"She asked.

"Nope. Total golddigger, but I'm not going to be the one to say something. I told Nicole and Hannah that they had the right to though."

"What did they say to that?"

"Hannah laughed, and Nicole told me 'If I have to, I would do a lot more than say something. I wonder if she's wearing white...' And then ran to her room, and Hannah followed."

"That worries me a little."

"Yeah. Me too." He laughed.

"I need to go though, brave the streets of the mean, mean paparazzi, and get my butt over to the church."

"Okay, I'll run the Café then."

"Thanks."

When everything feels like the movies

"Is Nathan here yet?" Deb asked Lucas.

"I'm not sure, I just got here. But I doubt it, his car wasn't here yet."

"I swear, late for his own wedding!" She exasperated.

"Deb, he'll be here."

"I hope not. I REALLY don't like her. Or her parents." She whispered to him

He laughed. "Join the club, Deb. Join the club."

Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

Nathan was speeding down the street, he couldn't be late to his own wedding. He looked down at the clock. 12:56pm. It started at one. He reached down for his coffee, but his cell phone rang. He reached out to grab it, but it slid out of his hands and onto the floor. He bent down farther to reach it, driving right through the intersection. A truck plowed into his side of the car.

And I don't want the world to see me

Cause I don't think that they'd understand

--

Lucas's phone rang, attracting the attention of most of the people in the room. He looked down at the caller, hoping it was Nathan explaining why he was an hour and a half late. The hospital.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Is this Lucas Scott, brother of Nathan Scott?"

"Um. Yes, it is."

"Mr. Scott is at the hospital in Intensive Care. He was involved in a car accident at approximately one o'clock this afternoon." She sounded like a voice recording.

"Oh my god. Um, thank you."

"No problem, sir."

Everyone stared at Lucas. The look on his face was disturbing.

"Luke. What's wrong?" Keith asked.

"Nnnathan.. Was in a car accident."

"OH MY GOD!" Deb exclaimed, running full speed toward her car, followed closely by Dan.

"He better not die, we haven't gotten married yet! I wouldn't get anything..." Kristin shouts, before being elbowed by her mother. "...Out of life, I can't live without him!" She completed, starting to do a horrible fake cry, and running out of the room.

"Hey! Are we doing this or not? I mean, I'd rather not, but I have better... things..to be doing... Why is everyone looking like that?" Nicole sounded as she and Hannah walked into the room.

"Girls. Your father was in a car accident, we need to go to the hospital." Lucas says.

"What! What the hell are we waiting for then! Let's go!" Nicole shouts. She starts to run toward the car. Hannah just stands there.

"Hannah, honey, we need to go." Lucas encouraged. She nods, but doesn't move.

"Lucas drapes her over his shoulder and runs toward the car, fumbling in his pocket for the keys.

"Here. Nicole. Call your mother. Tell her to close the Café and come to the hospital."

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am...

--

"Hello?"

"MOM!"

"Nicole, what's wrong?"

Nicole smiled at the fact that she knew it was her. "Dad was in a car accident. Uncle Lucas says to close the Café and come to the hospital."

"Alright. Thanks honey. I'll be there soon." She said, panickly trying to rush out the customers, and close it. She ran out to her car, being bombarded by paparazzi and reporters asking why the wedding wasn't taking place. She ignored them and pulled out of the parking spot, almost hitting one or two of them.

She drove quickly to the hospital, getting out and sprinting into the ICU.

"Hey, how is he doing?" She asked the room full of her friends and family.

"We haven't been told anything yet." Just as the words came out of Deb's mouth, a nurse appeared.

"Family of Nathan Scott?"
