AN/ SURPRISE SURPRISE. First of all NO you're eyes are not deceiving you. Second, I hate unfinished fan fiction and I am totally sorry that I have let this story lie dormant for 2 years. There have been numerous changes in my personal life and I lost my way. But in honor of the ending of OTH and a very heartfelt series finale, my motivation seems to have returned. If you can bare with me and help encourage that motivation with reviews I'm sure we can get this completed. Thank you all for the previous review's, PM's etc.

This chapter will be a little short, but it's a start. I'm totally out of the swing with writing but I just had to come back and finish this.

I love One Tree Hill and what it's stood for over the years so coming back to finish this fiction is my way of giving something back. Plus any of you that know me, know that I think Mark has missed a lot of opportunities in the NH storyline because of unfocused attention and while that surely got better after Season 7 with some awesome NH moments and storylines, we should have been getting those types of stories all along and not the 3rd party crap we repeatedly saw.

With out further ado… I give you Chapter 30 of Bleeding Love

Chapter 30

Jack was at a total loss as to what he needed to do about Peridox. He had been trying to figure a way out of the problem for a week now. He could always talk to Nathan but he knew the man would blow a gasket. He had never seen some one so protective over his family as Nathan Scott. No, Jack had to try a different way. The first thing he had to do was get Haley out of that school. Peridox would eventually take matters into his own hands, Jack knew that and Tree Hill High would be the first place he'd go to find her. Jack suddenly had an idea….

3 weeks later

"Principle Rimkiss, you wanted to see me?" Haley asked.

"Yes Mrs. Scott. You know in our profession we are looked high upon and held to a higher standard. I can't say I've ever been more disappointed in an educator as I am you at this moment."

"Ok. Do I get to know what's disappointed you so?"

"Oh certainly. You are hear by suspended from Tree Hill indefinitely. I must say that sexually harassing a student is something I never thought I'd hear about you but you've left me no choice. You are relieved of your duties and pending the outcome of the investigation, you will be notified of the next step"

"WHAT?"Haley stood up and slammed her hand on the edge of the desk. "And who did I supposedly sexually harass?"

"Jack Daniels. Oh and by the way Mrs. Scott since he's living with you, Child Protective Services has now been involved. Don't expect that Jack will be sleeping under your roof tonight" she said with a smug smile. "Too bad you won't get to continue in your quest to get him into bed"

Later that afternoon, Jack made his way into the Scott house and began packing his clothes. He didn't know where he was going at the moment but he sure couldn't stay here. Social Services would come for him once they found out that the allegations had been made. He didn't plan on being around when that happened.

Haley walked in to the kitchen and began pulling the drawers out. She had to do something to keep her mind from racing. She was furious that all of this had gone down the way it had and she had to do something to keep her stress levels at bay. That couldn't be good for her pregnancy at this point.

"Nathan"

"Hey Luke. How's Lindsay?"

"She's out of surgery. The police said the car just came out of no where and hit her in the side. Nate, she lost the baby"

"Lucas I'm so sorry man. I know what you're going through. I wish there was something I could do for you"

"There is and your doing it. Just take care of the team and Peyton until I get back. I'll know more about when I'll be returning tomorrow or Wednesday ok?"

"Sure thing big brother"

Nathan sighed. He couldn't believe the mess things were in for everyone. Luke, Haley, Jack, Brooke, Peyton and even Quentin. It's like a dark cloud had settled over Tree Hill and it was raining on them all. He found himself staring off in space as he thought about the other night. He and Haley were lying in bed and she was folded in his arms. Quentin had been by that night and Haley was trying to help him catch up on the school work he'd missed. During the school shooting Quentin had gotten behind in all of his classes. He was on the injured list for the remainder of the season and he was really worried that no college would take him. It was after all his senior year.

"Mrs JS. All of this is for nothing you know"

"Quentin, how can you say that?" Haley asked.

"I'm not going to get into college. The scouts haven't been able to watch me play much this season and they won't come to see an injured player holding down the bench"

"Quentin, you still have to keep your grades up."

Quentin quickly stood up sending papers flying everywhere. "For what huh? I won't get into college on my grades Ms. JS. Without basketball, I have no hope of getting into a good school"

Haley just looked at her student. This was the guy that saved her and the baby's life. He had been out of school for 8 weeks due to a gun shot wound that was meant for her. Surely there was something that she could do to help him.

Jamie suddenly came running into the living room. "Q check this out". He hit the play button on the CD player and began doing the soldier boy dance that Q had taught him a few weeks ago. Jamie and Quentin had been spending a lot of time together. He knew Quentin would be going back to school tomorrow if the Doctor released him and he was going to miss his friend.

As Quentin watched Jamie he couldn't help but smile. "J-Luke you've got it going on man. It's a good thing you can dance better than your dad."

Nathan walked in suddenly hearing the remark. "Hey watch it!" he smiled. "I have coordination on the court. I don't need it on a dance floor"

Haley smiled. It had never made any sense to her that Nathan was so graceful on a basketball court and swore he couldn't dance. She knew that he didn't like to but he had gotten better over the years. As she watched Jamie and now Q had also joined in, she couldn't help but stare in awe at her son. He definitely enjoyed music like she did and for that she was thankful.

Later that night after Quentin left she and Nathan were sitting on the couch. "Baby, I have something to tell you" Nathan said. "Luke called today after lunch. Lindsay lost the baby, Hales"

He watched as Haley's eyes filled with tears. "Oh no!" she cried. Nathan held her to him. He knew that she would be upset, expected it even, but he didn't expect the next words he heard.

"Why is everything falling apart?" Haley whimpered.

Nathan searched her eyes. He had known all night something was wrong but now he was certain of it.

"Nathan I have something to tell you too" she said breathlessly.
