~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!

[*SuN*kiSseD*]

[Hilarie Burton]

Aww! Thanks, guys!

[Hilarie Burton]

Here's more!


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.

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.


Tell me what you think!!

[*SuN*kiSseD*]

[Hilarie Burton]

Thanks! More....

Peyton was lying in her bed drawing. It was of Brooke, pointing to her door with the Fantasy Boy Draft picks on it. The words written across it were 'Not just any boy...My boy!'. Brooke had just stormed out of her room. She was thinking about how things got screwed up so badly last time with the whole Lucas/Brooke/Peyton love triange, and how they were now. She was disconnected from Brooke for a long time last time. It was horrible, and there was no was she was going to let that happen again. She HAD to fix this. She jumped out of her bed, and stormed down the steps. "I have to find her." She thought. She jumped in her car, and started driving. She had an idea where she might be. She figured she would be at the mall...Shopping her pain away...It was one of the things Brooke did best.

As she drove, memories flashed through her mind. They were of Brooke and Peyton, as little kids. The first one was when Peytons mom died. All she could think of was how Brooke was always there for her.
"It's okay Peyton, I will always be here." A younger Brooke said while hugging Peyton in her room. Peyton was crying. Not sobbing hysterically, but she was crying rather badly.
"How could she leave me?!" Peyton said through her tears.
"Oh, PSawyer, I don't know." Brooke didn't really know what to say. At these words, though, Peyton looked at Brooke. This was the first time Brooke called her that. She liked it though. For a moment it even took her mind off of her mothers death. {Older Peyton now} Peyton smiled at this. It was the start of BDavis and PSawyer. She wasn't sure about Brooke, but Peyton looked when Brooke called her this. It gave her a sense of security....

The next memory was a funnier one. They were at the mall, shopping. The could only have been 9 or 10. Peyton was looking through the new cds.
"Peyton, come oooooon!" Brooke groaned. "You've looked through there a million times! There is nothing good!"
"God! All this stuff sucks! You know, I'm gonna get a record player!"
"For what?! All your music is CDs!" Brooke said annoyed.
"Well, all the good music is the old stuff, so I'm gonna get records and a record player!" Peyton said, quite excitedly.
"Whatever....Can we please go to the make-up now?!" Brooke said anxiosly while grabbing Peyton's hand and dragging her to the next store over.
"Why do you buy this stuff? Your parents won't let you wear it anyway!" Peyton said.
"Well, because, you see that cute guys over there? Well, I read in my moms magazine that this color really turns guys on." Brooke explained, holding up a tube of red lipstick.
Peyton rolled her eyes. Brooke got all these sayings like 'turns them on' and 'gets them hott for you' from her mom's magazines. Brooke read them constantly.
Brooke payed for the lipstick and walked out of the store. She hurridly put it across her lips a blotted a few times. For being so young, Brooke new how to put her make-up on.
"Look good?" Brooke said.
"Oh yeah, great!" Peyton said, knowing there was only one right answer.
Brooke walked about as sexy as she could past the boy. Peyton noticed he didn't even turn his head. Brooke obviously saw something else.
"He looked at me! Did you see?!"
"Ummm...Yeah!" Peyton lied through her teeth. {Older Peyton now} Peyton smiled at this memory....She wondered if Brooke ever knew the guy didn't look at her. "When we are on better terms I
m gonna have to tell her." Peyton though, knowing Brooke would just laugh. A minute later, Peyton pulled into the parking lot and saw Brooke walking into the mall. Her instincts were right. She pulled up right next to her.
"Hey, BDavis!"
