Lucas and Jake ran into the ER looking for Peyton. Lucas just wanted to find her and see what was going on with his brother. They saw Peyton sitting in the corner of the waiting room.

"Peyton any news" Jake asked running over to her

"He just got done with the tests and now we are just waiting for the doctor to come tell us about the results" she explained giving Jake and Luke hugs. She looked over at Lucas "How are you holding up?" she asked. He looked horrible, and truth be told he was about to break. His brother was in bad shape, Haley is still missing, as well as Keith, and the man he despises the most saved his life. He thought it would be a boring regular school day at Tree Hill High. This will be a day nobody in Tree Hill will Ever forget.

"I am trying to hold it together, they need to find Haley soon because if Nathan wakes up and she is still missing he is going to freak out" he said.

"I know, oh guys here comes the doctor" Peyton said rising to her feet. They all stood up and faced the doctor. He came and stood right in front of them. "Ok guys I got the test results, they confirmed what I thought. Nathan has a severe head concussion, there is no bleeding but he is still unconscious. He will be awake soon, he might have some memory loss but it will not be anything permanent. What concerns me is that he does have a collapsed lung, and has some internal bleeding going on. He is going to have to have surgery because he is losing a lot of blood. I would like to wait until he wakes up to operate but if he loses any more blood I will have to operate right away. Is there anyone here that can consent if I need to operate?"

"Yes I can I am Nathan's brother" Lucas said.

"Ok, well I just need you to come and sign some papers for me incase we need to operate if he loses anymore blood. Then if you would like to go and see him, you can one at a time" he explained to all of them. Peyton and Jake both looked at each other and thought the same thing…Lucas should go and see him first.

"Luke you should go see him first, we will go see if anything has happened down by the school. Ill call Brooke" Peyton said giving him a hug and then they walked down the hall to go outside. Lucas signed the papers that he needed too and a nurse then walked him into Nathan's room. His brother had all tubes hooked up to him; he just laid there perfectly still. Lucas just stared at Nathan and couldn't believe everything that happened, he laughed to himself when he thought this morning would just be a normal boring day never in his life would he think what happened today actually happen. He felt like he was living in a nightmare. He looked at his brother and grabbed his hand.

"Listen Nate most of the time we are going at each other. We have been fighting most of our lives, hell half of it we didn't even know one another existed. When I first joined the team we were at each other's throats trying to make both of our lives hell. Then Haley happened, and we became brothers. She made us see past everything and as much as we fought, and as stubborn as you were we became real brothers. I went from hating you to needing you in my life. I found out that I like having a brother. So I need you to be that stubborn ass and wake up and tell me to go to hell. I need you to wake up because I cant do this by myself. They are going to find Haley and she was in bad shape before the explosion happened and she is going to need decisions made and I cant do it Nate…I need you, I need my brother and I need help to handle all of this" Lucas said putting his head on the bed letting out a huge sigh and wiping away the tear that slid down his cheek.

Keith saw a rescue worker in the distance and looked up and said a silent quick prayer to God that someone found them. He looked down at Haley and started to walk quicker and started yelling "Over here buddy! We need some help" he screamed knowing that he needed to get Haley out of there right away.

"We found something" a rescue worker screamed. Brooke and Karen looked at eachother and ran forward so they could see what was going on.

The rescue workers finally got over to where Keith and Haley were

"OK we got her" they said taking Haley out of Keiths arms. "Be careful she had a bullet in her side" he told them. They finally emerged out from the school Keith squinted his eyes at the sunlight after being in the dark dusty school. They ran Haley over to the ambulance, and Keith was looking around for a minute. Karen saw them rush someone over to the ambulance and her stomach fell, then in the distance she saw Keith. She ran under the tape and found herself screaming "Keith!" she ran into his arms. He hugged her as tight as he could. "Oh thank god your ok. I was so scared. I thought I lost you. Where is Haley" she said looking around. She glanced over and saw paramedics working on someone. She quickly ran over there "Oh my god Keith what happened to her?" she exclaimed. In front of her was Haley on a stretcher full of blood, she was bleeding everywhere. "OH MY GOD" Brooke yelled when she ran over there and saw Haley lying there. "We need to get her to the hospital now if she is going to make it" the paramedic said.

"HALEY!" Nathan screamed sitting up in bed making Lucas stand up…
