~To make a Mountain of your life is just a choice~

"Help!! Somone help! Nathan!!! Help!! Oh my God!! Help!!!!!!" That was all Haley could say. She was sobbing hysterically, standing on a bridge, in her wedding gown. She didn't know what to do. She thought about jumping in, but that would have just made the problem worse, knowing she couldn't do anything once in the water. Suddenly, she saw a guy jump into the water. She didn't see who he was, she only saw the splash of his dive. Suddenly, she had a little bit of hope for Nathan. Then she saw bubbles coming from the water.

~You said to me quietly on the stairs, I've been held back by something~

Lucas and Karen were driving to meet Haley and Nathan.
"You know, it's so like Haley to forget these tickets." Lucas said jokingly. He was like her brother, and it showed all the time in how much he loved her. Karen only giggled. Suddenly her face turned serious.
"Lucas, are you scared?"
Lucas was worried now. "Of, umm, what Ma?"
"That you are going to lose Haley, because I am. Haley's like my daughter, always has been, she's like family to you...Well, now technicelly she is your family...but, do you think you are going to lose her?" Karen asked, more sad than worried.
"I don't know, Mom. I think about it sometimes, but Nathan is great, as is Haley, and they deserve eachother. So, no, I won't lose her...Neither will you mom...," Then, as they pulled up on the bridge, he saw Haley. He didn't even stop the car before he jumped out.
"Hales! What's wrong!? Where's Nathan? Is he okay?"
"Take me down there!" Haley spat at Lucas, pointing to the woods next to the water. "Nathan, jumped in--drowing---guy jumped in!" She knew she wasn't forming complete sentences, but who really cared.
"Umm, ok, get in the car!" They get there in about 20 seconds flat, and Haley jumped out of the car.

~Squeeze the air and keep the rest out~

"Well, this is it." Nathan Scott thought. He was drowning, and there was nothing he could do. He wanted to save Rachel and Cooper. He had to jump in after them...Didn't he? Yes...He had to, there was no other choice. Now was was drowing, as were Cooper and Rachel. The only think he could think about now though, was Haley. He had just re-married her. 3 hours ago. He was happily married again, for only 3 hours. That must be a record. Then he blacked out, and the next thing he knew, he was lying on the ground, Lucas giving him mouth-to-mouth. Rachel and Cooper were next to him, sitting up, looking ok.

~I want to know what it'd be like to aim so high above every card that has been dealt~

"Dude, I'm married." Was the first thing Nathan said.
"You know, I'm only saving your life, you might say, Oh! I don't know..Thanks?!" Lucas said lightly.
Just then, Haley jumped to Nathan. She was hysterical. Kissing him like she hasn't seen him in years. Not that he was complaining or anything. She couldn't say anything. She was sobbing to hard. Then he embraced her in a giant hug. It seemed as if no one else was there. He almost died, Haley was sobbing hysterically, but he had her in his arms, so all was right in the world. Then he heard the sirens of an ambulance, and knew he should let go.

~~The Weight is a Gift~~

Tell me what you guys think!! Who saved Nathan, Rachel, and Cooper? Will they all be ok?? Honestly, I'm not really sure! More soon though!

[haley]

Cool. You did the last episode too.

[Hilarie Burton]

Well, yeah. I didn't think anything else was really appropriate to do. Well, should I continue?

[haley]

Yes please.

[Hilarie Burton]

Sorry, I don't have much time, so this will only be one person. I will continue tomorrow.


Rachel was lying in a hospital bed. "This is just lovely." She thought to herself. How could things get screwed up so badly?! She lied to Cooper...but it was just a little white lie. So she lied about her age...Big deal! But then, she found out. She was pregnant. "How could this happen?" She said out loud. Cooper reacted so well when she told him! "He called me a liar!!" She thought angrily. But, she had known for a little while. 2 1/2 weeks actually. She had gotten used to the idea. She knew what she had to do. She had no other choice. She was going to have this baby, with or without Cooper. Then the nurse came in.
"Miss. Gatina? How are you feeling?"
"Tierd."
"Yes, well, that's to be expected. You had a lot of water in your lungs. Had you got here any later, you wouldn't have made it."
"Well, aren't you comforting?"
"Sorry...but, you are okay. You just need to stay over night for observation....Now, to talk about another matter." The nurse obviously didn't like having these conversations. "Do you know you are expecting?" The nurse asked quickly, but quitely.
"Uhhh...huh..."
"Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, Rachel, but the crash was pretty traumatic. Like I said, you were lucky to survive. But, all the water in your lungs, and whole body actually, caused a problem. You...umm...lost the baby." Rachel closed her eyes. She was strong...or so it seemed on the outside. No way was the nurse going to see her tears. She pulled herself together.
"Thank you for telling me. I'm going to need some rest now."
"Oh, of course." And the nurse left. Once Rachel heard the door shut, she broke down.

[Hilarie Burton]

Ok, ok...Here!! Once again, won't be very long...I got ideas about one persons story line...but no other ones...so I figure I should put them down before I forget them.


Nathan was sitting up in his hospital bed. He probably should have been laying down...he knew he should have been...He'd been told about 100 times. Then the doorknob turned, it was Haley. She was still in her wedding dress...her face red from sobbing and her eyes were all puffy.
"Lay-" Haley started.
"-Down." Nathan said completing her thought. "Yes, I know." And he did. He put Haley through enough. He didn't want her to get upset.
"How you are feeling?" Haley asked, stroking Nathans hair.
"I feel ok...Good actually. You're here with me...So everythings ok."
"Well, the doctor said you will be fine. You can come home as soon as he comes back in to check on you again. You know, sign the papers and all."
"Good." Nathan sounded relieved. He didn't want to spend the night in the hospital...Too many race-car incident flashbacks.
"Nathan, you know you really scared me. I thought I was going to lose you!"
"You won't ever lose me."

Then the door opened. It was Lucas.
"Hey! How you feeling, little brother?"
"Fine, fine, fine." Nathan said...Rolling his eyes at the ladder part of his comments.
"Good, good, good." Lucas said, mocking Nate. He looked at Haley, noticing her touching her wrist...as if feeling for something that usually is there, but wasn't. That jogged something in his memory. It was right before he was getting into his car to follow the ambulance. He saw Haleys crackerjack braclet floating to shore. He knew he had to grab it. He wasn't quite sure how it got in the water, since Haley was on the bridge, but, regardless, it was in his pocket.
"Now, I'm not sure how or why this was in the water...but here it is." Lucas said, fishing the bracelet out of his pocket.
"Woah...nice work, dude." Nathan said appreciatly.
"Oh my god!" Haley said, snatching it from Lucas' hands. "That's the last time I ever let you wear my bracelet!" Haley said jokingly.
Nathan only snickered.

What do you think?

[naleylove4ever]

OMG! I love these! You've done an awesome job. Can't wait to read more. You should send these to the writers and maybe they will consider them for next season! That would be awesome. My guess is Dan jumped in after Nathan. Maybe? Could be. Guess we'll find out when you keep writing these awesome fan fics!
