I do not own anything but the story

Chapter 2 Perfect Life Crashing

Haley was caving fast. Nathan tried to stand but landed on his knees. There was only one thing running through his head I'm going to lose her. At that moment the doctor and about half the nursing staff rushed into the room. They pushed Nathan against the wall in the rush to get to Haley. They tried to save her from the cave but were having no luck. Nathan watched the monitor for change but nothing.

"Ok last time," said the doc, "last try for her."

"Come one Hales." Nathan whispered to his wife. Just then as he continued to watch the monitor a peak came to sight. Haley was going to recover. The nurses started to leave while Nathan stood there in shock.

The nurses were about half way out when she caved again. The nurses turned around and swarmed her. They got her back a lot faster this time. Nathan sat back down in his chair saying that he would never forgive him self if she died, if she lost the baby, if she could not forgive him.

Nathan pulled out his phone and dialed his brother, Luke's, number.

"Hey, Nathan how is Haley? Listen I'm sorry I haven't came yet, but Brooke and I are on our way now. Peyton couldn't come, but she sends her sympathies."

"It's ok and you better hurry she isn't doing good. We just lost her twice, but they said that she should be fine. It will just take awhile, but what if she don't forgive me Luke?"

"For what Nate?"

"I walked away when she told me she was pregnant. I left her alone. I should have stayed. I should have been there for her. Then this wouldn't have happen. It's all my fault."

"Haley's pregnant? Well congrats little brother, but then what about the baby?"

"Haven't herd. They never said a word about it."

As Lucas and Brooke pulls in the parking lot Nathan walks out to them. Brooke ran up to him and gave him a huge hug.

"Nathan I herd what you said and it's not your fault."

"Yes it is." He said as he started to walk towards the picnic table were him and Haley had their first date. Nathan sits down to remember how this whole thing happened.

FLASH BACK

"I can't believe we won that game! We only have two more games until we're champs!" Haley cheered.

"Not so fast Hales tomorrow night's team is pretty good."

"So, everything is going to be ok. I can feel it." With that the power went off. Haley walked over toward the window.

"Are not. Nathan it's just our lights."

"Maybe that was our third notice."

"Nathan you need to see if you can fix this."

Nathan walked out the door as his wife asked of him, he was going to fix this. He went to go see his dad. To ask for money. As Nathan walked into the mayors office he had this unsettling chill go down his spine.

"Dad I need to ask for a lone. I'm having money problems and it's serous."

"Sorry son. When I give out money I always look for the return, and you're not an investment I'm interested in."

As Nathan made his way home he happened to run into a man. This guy seem to know everything about him.

"You're Nathan Scott. Ravens star player, point leader, and a senior. How am I doing?"

"Pretty good."

"Do you know who I am?" Nathan shock his head no, and awaited to hear what this guy had to say to him.

"I'm Daunte and this is Bear." He said as he pointed to the person driving the car. There was a moment of silence.

"If I can help in anyway just tell me. Us Ravens need to stick together."

Nathan just stood there taking it all in. His mind finally got to Haley and an idea popped in his head.

"There is something you could help me with."

"Sure what?"

"I need some money to get my electricity back on. If I have no electricity that means no wins for the Ravens."

"Well we can't have that." Daunte wrestled in the back seat to find a black leather bag. He searched through it. He finally gave the money to Nathan attending to get it back.

THREE DAYS LATER (still in daydream)

"Did I ever tell you how much I love you for taking care of me? I'm glad you talked to your dad." Nathan made a face and turned away for he just had to lie to his own wife bout the money.

"No but you could show me in the bedroom." Nathan persuaded Haley.

"Actually I thought you might need to go for a workout at the river court if you want to win the championship."

On his way to the river court Nathan ran into Daunte.

"Look Daunte I don't have your money right now, but I will pay you back all of the 10,000 I owe you."

"It's 15,000 now. You don't pay me on time your bill just goes up."

"Daunte I will get your money."

"You better, or the ground next to your uncle Keith will get crowded and oh say hi to the wifey for me." Daunte rolled up his window, and drove away leaving Nathan standing in the dust. Watching them drive away Nathan all of a sudden didn't feel like practicing any more. He sets the ball down and then sits on it. He barriers his head in his hands not to cry but to think.

FLASH BACK OVER

Nathan opens his eyes and perks his head up. I must have fallen asleep he thought. He slowly moves his legs out from underneath the table. Nathan opens his hand and his car key fell. He looks around and in the parking lot he sees his car.

"Lucas." Nathan whispered to himself. He walks over to it and gets in. He stares straight a head of him and in that instant he snapped. Nathan started to bang against the steering wheel.

"Damn it!" he sobs as he lowers his head to have it rest on the wheel.
