Part 3: Chapter 1
Note: This is a four-part story and this is the beginning of the third part.
Nathan woke up in the hotel suite. He immediately looked at the clock, which read "11:30". Jamie was still sound asleep. Nathan gently pressed his hand on his son's shoulder to wake him up.
"Jamie," Nathan said softly. "We have to get up now son."
"Five more minutes Mommy," Jamie said groggily. "I promise I won't be late for school."
"Jamie," Nathan said. "Wake up."
Jamie woke up and looked at Nathan.
"Oh Dad," Jamie said. "Good morning."
"It's 11:30," Nathan said. "We need to get up. Checkout is at noon."
"Okay," Jamie said as he got out of bed. "I'm so ready to go home."
"We're not going home just yet," Nathan said. "We need to stop by the school gym, clear out your locker, get your phone and then I'll give that coach a piece of my mind."
After checking out, Nathan and Jamie drove back to Tree Hill and went to the high school. When they entered the gym, they saw Coach Spencer sitting on the bleachers and walked over to him.
"Coach Spencer," Jamie said. "I quit!"
"In all my 10 years of coaching at high schools all over North Carolina, I've never had a whole team and cheerleaders quit," Coach Spencer said. "That is until last night. It's all your fault Scott."
"What are you talking about?" Jamie asked.
The previous night, the bus arrived back at Tree Hill High School. As everyone got out, Coach Spencer gave a speech.
"I want to congratulate each and every one of you for playing your hardest and winning the game," Coach Spencer said. "And props to the cheerleaders for showing team spirit."
"Thank you," Sophia said. "We quit!"
"Excuse me?" Coach Spencer asked.
"You are an abusive asshole!" Sophia shouted. "You've been abusing Jamie physically and emotionally! We all talked it over during and took a vote. It's unanimous, as of now the Tree Hill Ravens have no cheerleaders."
"Or players!" Chuck shouted. "We also took a vote during half time. It was also unanimous. We quit!"
"Now come on guys," Sophia said. "Let's go out and celebrate winning the game and standing up to this jackass!"
Everyone walked off leaving Coach Spencer in shock.
In the present, Jamie and Nathan stood and listened while Coach Spencer finished his story.
"10 years of coaching down the drain," Coach Spencer said. "I'm sure to be fired."
"Yeah," Jamie said. "Well you deserve it."
Nathan sucker punched Coach Spencer in the face as hard as he could.
"Dad!" Jamie shouted. "You promised you wouldn't do that!"
"That's for being abusive to my son!" Nathan shouted before sucker punching Coach Spencer a second time. "And that is for leaving my son over 2 hours from home."
"Daddy," Jamie said. "Let's just clean out my locker and get my phone and go home."
"Okay," Nathan said right before punching Coach Spencer a third time. "And that's just because I felt like it!"
"You'll be sorry Scott!" Coach Spencer shouted.
"Listen to me," Nathan said in a scary tone. "My father was a cold blooded murderer. Just remember that next time you see me or my son."
"Come on Dad!" Jamie said grabbing Nathan by the arm.
Nathan and Jamie walked towards the locker rooms.
"Oh my god," Jamie said. "That was awesome, but punching a school employee and giving him a death threat isn't the best idea."
"It's only because I love you son," Nathan said.
"I love you too Daddy," Jamie said before giving his father a hug.
