A/N: Thanks for all the amazing reviews. They made me happy really. I hope you guys like this chapter and about all the questions you would find out about them later. I can't tell you because I'll spoil the story. The only one I can answer is that Haley is a school senior. I promise there will be NH interaction in the next chapter. Please show me some love by feedback.

Chapter 2: Say goodbye to the world you though you lived in

"Nate?"

He heard a distant voice getting closer and closer.

"Nate, wake up man."

He opened his eyes. At the begining it was really blurry, he couldn't see straight, until he saw his manager standing in front of him, and the blinding light coming from the table beside him. He looked around, he was in a hospital. He couldn't remember anything actually, but his head really hurted. And then it came. He had passed out in the middle of a game. That was why his head hurted really badly, he had hitted the court with it. He blinked, there was Chris Keller.

"Finally," the skinny guy said " I though you were never gonna wake up."

"Wow, have a lil' faith in me Chris." Nathan answered as he holded his head " What happened exactly?"

"You passed out, in the middle of the game. The doctor said something about stress. Anyway" he sighed and then added "You're out for this season."

"What..? He can't take me out! I'm the freakin' shooter Chris! What the hell did you answered?"

"I couldn't answer. The Doc told the Coach you needed rest so he's shipping you off somewhere… Umm, to a little town lost in nowhere."

"Give me the phone now"

"No way, the Doc said no stress at all, if you get all stressed you'll pass out again and we'll be here forever, just take the trip Nate, It's only 2 weeks."

"TWO WEEKS? You're kidding right?"

"No I'm not. You'll be realesed as soon as the Doc gets here, I guess." Chris said as he walked out the room "Oh, and we're going with Brooke"

"Brooke? Hadn't you broke-up with her? "

"No. I couldn't man, she gave me the eyes"

"The eyes?"

"The 'I'm gonna kick your skinny butt if you dump me ass' eyes. But check this out, maybe she finds a hot guy in that little town and dumps me. "

"God Chris you're so weird. Just walk away." Nathan answered as he laughed.

Haley was pretty messed up. She was all confused and the college stuff were getting her worst. It was not that she didn't want to go to college it was that it was hard to give up everything she knew, to choose something she had to do for the rest of her life. She looked at all the magazines spread over the cafe table biting her lip. It wasn't that that she was worried about really. She didn't want to get all messed up in her thoughts but she didn't have time to decide since Lucas interrupted her.

"Okay so Hales, how about Harvard?"

"No way Scott, I'm not Harvard material."

"Maybe you should try in, just to know, I mean I'm trying in Princeton."

"I don't know, Luke." The blondish girl answered "Oh here comes your father, hide me please."

"God Hales, Dan is not scary; please at least pretend to be nice." Lucas laughed

"He thinks I'm your girlfriend Luke, that's scary."

"Lucas, Haley." Dan said as he entered the cafe

"Dad."

"Mr. Scott." Haley answered as she watched him walk away "Luke how are things between your dad and Karen?"

"I think okay, why?"

"No reason." She said as she continued looking at the magazine

"Oh." a smirk appeared on his face "You got the look."

"What look?" she answered trying to seem distracted.

"The look you have when you want to tell me something but you can't." Lucas smiled "Hales, you can tell me anything."

"Okay, promise not to tell?" Lucas nodded "Today I may have accidently stumbled with some pictures… You know, were your mother keeps that 'Memory Lane' thingy, pictures of a blonde woman with a baby."

"Wait. First of all, what were you doing there?"

"Nothing, looking for some baby you pictures, something I wanted to make for your birthday, Karen told me I could look freely." She answered "Anyway, this woman…"

"Was probably a relative or something, don't get all worried Hales."

"If you say so.."

"I do say so." Lucas cut the conversation and turned his eyes to the magazine again.

It was weird. He never gave up on anything. He should've stayed and waited and pushed; until he got what he wanted to. And he wanted to get into the team again to finish the season, but for some reason he was really tired. Specially to fight with his coach, who was one determined man. He had agreed on taking a little vacation with his manager and his girlfriend.

"OMG, guys you're not gonna believe this!" Brooke yelled "This jet is so cool, it has a room and a bathroom and everything, I love it I wanna move in here!" she continued jumping around.

"You see? She's adorable." Chris smiled ironically

"Whatever, I'm going to listen to something, where are we going anyway?"

"Wait..." Chris said as he entered the pilot cabin "Hey Nate, the guy say it's named 'Tree Hill'."

"Tree Hill? As Tree Hill?" Nathan stumbled "I can't go there Chris, I have to get off of this plane!"

"No way dude, we're leaving now." Chris answered

"This is so not good for me." Nathan whispered under his breath

"Tree Hill here we come." Chris ignored what Nathan had said as he closed his eyes.

Definitely not the holiday he was expecting.
