Nathan Scott looks through the pictures in the family album, smiling at how goofy his wife and kids are; his son Adam looks like the spitting image of his mother while Becca looks like a mixture of both. It still amazes him how after all that has happened that he has managed to keep his family intact. Nathan looks up as his two children come into the house home from school, Adam wearing his football jersey and Megan wearing her volleyball gear.

"Hey dad we have a question for you?" Adam asked jumping in the chair across from Nathan while Becca sits next to Nathan.

"What's on your mind?" Nathan tossed the album on the coffee table.

"Well we just wanted to know how you and mom met ya know? You keep promising to tell us but you never do." Becca replied turning so she looking at Nathan.

"Alright, how much time do you to have?"
"We have enough time." Both replied getting ready for the story of their parents. Nathan looked at this kid and saw the excitement in their eye making him laugh.

"Well it all started during a game at Tree Hill High School….." He began.

Flashback

Nathan Scott was sprawled out on the court unconscious after taking steroids and Peyton and Lucas stood off to the side holding onto each other. Brooke was disgusted and turned to look for Nathan's parents; Brooke was shocked that Dan wasn't there because he never missed a game in Nathan's entire career.

"We have to get him out the ambulance. Please move." Some paramedic tried pushing Brooke out of the way.

"Can I come? I don't want him waking up alone." The paramedic nodded and she followed trying to calm her nerves. This was the first time she was actually going to alone with Nathan since the party where she screwed up everything but surprisingly he was the only one not mad at her. Haley had moved on to Mouth of all people and Lucas and Peyton were now attached to the hip leaving Nathan and Brooke alone.

When they got to the hospital Brooke was in the waiting room pacing silently praying to god that Nathan was okay not because she had feelings for him. When the doctor told her that she could go see him she ran into the room. At first he looked somewhat normal but when she got closer she could see how tired he was, probably because Dan pushes him too hard. She thought to herself as she sat next to his bed waiting for him to wake. She was determined to fix things between them because she felt just down right horrible about being that big a bitch towards him. He had done nothing to her except treat her best friend like shit and then move on to Hailey which shocked everyone.

2 hours later Nathan woke up and felt someone's hand on his and hair next to the hand like someone had put their head on the bed. He opened his eyes and got the shock of his life. Brooke Davis was sleeping in his hospital room, holding his hand. He knew that he should be really pissed but she was the only one in the room with him. He gently stroked her hair before the nurse came in with food.

"Good morning Mr. Scott its time for breakfast." He looked at the tray and nearly vomited.

"I can't eat anything." He pushed the tray back towards her.

"Just try and eat the Jell-O so you can take your medication." Brooke's head shot up and she looked around trying to remember where she was. Her eyes locked with Nathan's and she smiled which he returned.

"May I ask what you're doing here?"

"Well a) I didn't want you to wake up alone and b) I wanted to fix what I did."

"Don't worry about that, you were drunk and pissed at Lucas. I'm not mad at you."

"How are you feeling?"

"Like shit."

"You had everybody scared, Whitey's eyes were bulging out of his head."

"Ha ha I would pay to see that."

"Why'd you do it?" She asked softly as Nathan took a bite of his Jell-O.

"To show my dad that I could be better than him, but of course he wasn't there because of some stupid business dinner."

"I was surprised that he wasn't there, do you want me to call them?"

"You mean the hospital didn't?"

"No I told them not to, I didn't think you'd want to see Dan so I just called your mom and told her. She said not to worry that she wouldn't tell Dan and that she would see you tomorrow."

"Thanks Brooke."

"Its No problem. I mean after everything I did to you it's the least I could do."

"Yet again you couldn't have known what was going to happen that night. I was just has hurt as you were."

"I still feel bad."

"Well you shouldn't." He squeezed her hand before finishing his Jell-O. "Ya know this stuff isn't that bad." Brooke looked at him and burst out laughing.

"Mr. Scott, how are you feeling?"

"Well I was feeling like shit but then I had some Jell-O and feel a little better."

"Well you can go home this afternoon if you promise to not end up here again under these circumstances."

"I promise oh boy do I promise." The doctor nodded before turning to Brooke.

"Will you be paying for this?"

"Yes, my father's insurance will pay here's the card." The doctor nodded before leaving.

"Brooke you can't pay for all of this." Nathan felt bad for her paying for his mistake.

"Don't worry about, you can pay me back if you want."

"I might just do that." They laughed and got Nathan ready to go home.

"So do you want me to drive you home?"

"I don't want to go home, I can't go home."

"Alright we'll go to my house." She turned so Nathan got change into the clothes that Brooke had brought him last night. They left the hospital and drove around Tree Hill for awhile neither wanted to face reality that they would face the next day at school.

"So Brooke how did you get out of school?"

"Called my father told him that my boyfriend was in the hospital and he said that I should be there for him."

"You lied?"

"Yet again I didn't want you alone."

"We should go to school so I can get my work." She nodded and pulled into the Tree Hill High parking lot. It was lunch time and everyone was starring at them as they walked into the building. Nathan put his arm around her trying to make her feel better.

"Nathan man how are you?" Tim asked looking up from the girl he was trying to charm.

"Fine Tim I'm just fine." Nathan turned back towards the office but ran into Lucas and Peyton.

"Nathan what are you doing here?"

"I'm getting my homework, jeez Luke relax." They pounded fists and Nathan ran to catch up with Brooke.

"Nathan! Nathan!" Hailey called down the hallway trying to get his attention he turned towards her and his smile faded.

"What?"

"What are you doing with her?" Hailey stated pointed towards Brooke whose hand was on the door handle waiting for Nathan to join her in the office.

"What do you mean?"

"After everything that she did to us why are you with her?"

"She didn't mean to do anything, your best friend caused her to do it when he hooked up with my ex-girlfriend and you have no right to say shit like that to her and I'm with her because she was the only one in the hospital with me."

"Nathan come on." Brooke pleaded with him her eyes a little watery.

"Bye Hailey tell Mouth I said hi." He turned and joined Brooke in the office. "You okay?" She sniffed and nodded as the secretary gave them their homework and they left the building ignoring all the stares and gossip that filled the air after Nathan and Hailey's very public fight. Tomorrow they would face the world of Tree Hill High but today they were just going to go to Brooke's house and figure out what was going on between them and relax.
