Summary Thingy: So I have decided to write this fanfic on episodes 4x09 and 4x10 of One Tree Hill. Those are the episodes where Haley is hit by a car and Lucas has a heart attack and both of them are in a coma. Lucas then walks around Tree Hill with Keith where they discuss the benefits of Lucas being a good person, one of the things that stuck out to me was when they're in the record store and Nathan breaks Haley's vinyl album. While writing my previous fanfic I came up with this idea of what if while Haley was in a coma she had her own dream world, a world where she hasn't come home from the tour since she left during her junior year of her school. What would Lucas' reaction be? What would Brooke and Peyton's be? Most of all what would happen with Haley and Nathan?
Differences: I am making a few things AU. For one thing what happened in my previous fanfic where Nathan was in a coma is what actually happened in this one. So he still remembers his own dream world, and who knows maybe there will be references and some visitations back to it(maybe). After Haley returned he still went to High Flyers so he's an amazing basketball player. The time to now would mostly be the same as season 3 and early 4 would be mostly the same, except Nathan was a bit nicer to Haley and they were kinda back together at the beginning.
-Haley is NOT pregnant in my fanfic, and Nathan did not go and beat Daunte's dead body so Dan isn't in jail for Nathan.
-Also, throughout the story in the hospital scenes I will keep some things as they happened in the show, but I'm also going to add/change some other things…so please don't get mad if I changed 1 word or something :)
I think that covers everything…if this confuses you (and I'm thinking it will) please ask me, I'll try to clear it up.
Side Notes: Please read and review! I don't know how frequent my updates will be, but I'll try to not take too long.
Thanks for those that reviewed last time! I'm sorry that it has been a while since my last update, I just haven't felt very inspired. I know, it's a lame excuse, sorry.
Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill or any of the characters and such, if I did Kevin Federline would not be a guest-star.
Bold face is reality with Haley in a coma, Normal is the dream world, and Italics are the thoughts
Finally the next installment of the story shall begin, in a creepy white room….
Regret, Tears, and Insults
Tears fell from his face, Nathan Scott had never cried like this before, even when Haley had left him, he hadn't cried like this. Nathan was inconsolable as he collapsed next to the nurses' station. He wouldn't have long before everybody, including the press, would arrive, but he didn't care. He only wanted his mistakes to be paid for by him, not Lucas, and definitely not by Haley.
I shouldn't have done this. I should've just come to school in the morning and tried to be invisible. It would've been harder for people to notice me! Why did I have to come to this stupid game, I knew He would be playing. I'm such an idiot! Haley was actually managing to ramble to herself inside her head as everyone in the crowded gym continued to stare at her. There was absolute silence. The other team and its fans at least partially knew who this girl was; she was the high schooler who had gone on tour with Chris Keller and the Wreckers. They were simply shocked to see a semi-popular star show up at their basketball game. Meanwhile everyone from Tree Hill was shocked to see the one who had broken their star player's heart actually dare to return.
Haley decided to take action, she gave a slight wave to everyone, I will not look at Him, that's when the shouting started.
"WHORE!"
"SLUT!"
"BITCH!"
"GO BACK ON TOUR!!!"
Everything Haley heard was an insult, no kind words for the girl who many had loved just a year and a half before. Haley's eyes started to well up with tears right there in front of everyone, she accidentally glanced at Him. The first time in ages, and he was just sitting on the ground his jaw dropped, his expression unreadable. For some reason this made Haley's eyes well up more, but kindness came in the form of Karen Roe. She walked up to Haley and gently turned her around, leading her outside of the gym into the hallway.
Once in the abandoned hallway Haley started to sob.
"Shh, shh," Karen tried to comfort the girl that had been like a daughter to her for so long. She knew they didn't have long before some angry teenagers would come join them out there, "Haley let's go to my café, c'mon." Haley simply nodded and began to follow Karen through the familiar, but at the same time threatening, hallways of Tree Hill High.
"Karen!" Dan ran back into the café after he saw his eldest son and daughter-in-law get loaded into an ambulance. He had also seen an EMT helping Nathan, who obviously was in shock, into the same ambulance.
"What is it Dan?" Karen asked, a little on the frustrated side. It had been a long evening and Lucas had disappeared, before finishing cleaning up.
How am I going to tell her this? A look of actual remorse crossed Dan's face and Karen regretted snapping at him. Ever since Keith's murder in the school Dan had been trying to turn over a new leaf and Karen felt she should be going easier on him, "What's wrong Dan?" she asked more sympathetically.
"There was an accident. Lucas collapsed when he saw…"
"Is he alright?! What happened??" Something clicked in Karen's mind, "What did he see Dan??"
"He saw Haley get hit by a speeding car and he went into cardiac arrest, they had to resuscitate him in the middle of the road. They're both in the hospital along with Nathan."
Karen nodded, she wasn't going to break down, not here, not in front of Dan. She went outside and got into her car, beginning the drive to the hospital, leaving Dan alone in her little café.
Dan walked out into the road and to the police surrounding the damned car that had possibly killed 2 people. "Who was driving?"
"This gambler named Daunté, he's dead, that's all I know about him Mayor Scott." A young officer said causing regret to hit Dan. If I had just lent Nathan some money this wouldn't be happening. Dan ran his hand through his dark hair, he pulled out his cell phone, time to make some phone calls.
