(Haley's POV)
"Mom? Mom!" I coughed through the smoke. I never would have guessed this would happen to me. Who would have thought I'd wake up to my house on fire?
"Haley! Get out!" My mom yelled from a distance.
"I can't leave you here!"
"You have to! Jump!"
I stood in front of the window in my bedroom. The flames nipped at my shirt and I knew if I was going to see the morning, I had to jump. I closed my eyes and fell out the window. I screamed as my body neared the ground. I opened my eyes for a fleeting second. Nathan and Lucas stood by my house; Keith and Dan holding them back from rushing into the inferno.
"Haley!" Nathan saw my fall and rushed to the area where I was going to hit. He caught me, and I sobbed into his chest. I was alive but my parents weren't. I made it, they didn't. Why?
"Hales!" Lucas came running.
"Haley? Haley, baby, are you all right?" Nathan asked. How ironic. "Its ok, its ok."
"No." I croaked. "I'm not ok."
"Where does it hurt?"
"My back." An EMT gently moved my shirt.
"You received some severe burns on your back. We'll have to take you to the hospital."
"Nathan." I moaned. "Nathan, don't leave me."
"I'm not going to leave you, baby." He carried me to the ambulance and rode with me to Tree Hill General. He held my hand the entire ride. "I won't ever leave you Haley."
