PART THREE!

Haley's POV

I had heard a gun go off. Why wasn't anyone dead? Or bleeding? I looked around and all I could see was a whole in a nearby locker. Oh Thank God. No PERSON was shot. I mean, some minor niner may be pissed about a bullet in his locker, but rather a large metal thing then a person. I looked at Jimmy and I saw tears filling his eyes along with a lot more anger.

"Don't make me fire the gun again. I missed on PURPOSE once. I WONT do it again. "Jimmy said so chillingly, he sounded like someone from the movies. Actually, this whole DAY seemed to be something from a movie...

ALL AROUND POV

The tension was thick in the Tree Hill High school hallway. There was no way to deny it. Nathan stood firm in front of Haley and in front of the gun in Jimmy's hand. As the clock ticked, emotions ran higher. Fear. Anger. Anticipation. What was going to happen? Every move Jimmy made, Nathan mirrored it in front of Haley.

"Haley, don't make a liar of yourself. Come on and let's just get this done." Jimmy said, beckoning her with his pointed gun. Haley let out a couple of stiffened sobs but started to walk towards him. That is, until Nathan grabbed Haley by the arm and pulled her back to him. Haley just buried her face in his chest, afraid for what Jimmy would do. She knew ALL too well that Jimmy kept his promises.

"Go to Hell Edwards." Nathan spat as he held Haley in his arms. He would die before Jimmy killed Haley. What happened next was a surprise to both Nathan and Haley. Instead of shouts of anger or the sound of bullets flying through the air, the young couple heard whimpers, which turned into crying which turned into almost silent sobbing. Haley turned from Nathan to see Jimmy sitting on the floor, gun still in hand, with tears running down his face.

"I'm…sorry. For all of this" Jimmy cried. Haley pushed free from Nathan quickly and started to slowly walk towards Jimmy. She was almost to him when he started to raise the gun for a final time. Nathan went pale, Haley stopped, frozen in her tracks. Not in fear this time though, but in horror and in fear. The gun was not pointed at her though, it was pointed at Jimmy's heart.

"NO! JIMMY." Haley screamed. "DON'T DO IT… I LOVE YOU!"

Jimmy looked at Haley. "No you don't." He still had the gun pointed towards him.

"Yes. Jim, I do. I love you. Besides Luc, you're my oldest friend." By this time, Haley was close enough to Jimmy that she slowly bent down to look Jimmy straight in the eyes. "Please Jim, just give me the gun. "

"Oo..okay." Jimmy silently gave Haley the gun and Haley walked to the garbage and tossed the gun inside. Then Haley took Jimmy by the hand and helped him up. Keith Scott was suddenly in front of the teens, looking rather surprised.

"What…?" Keith looked from Nathan to Haley to Jimmy and back to Nathan.

"I'll tell you later." Nathan said.

Haley didn't let go of Jimmy's hand as they walked slowly down the hall. Haley walked out of the school first and then Jimmy. Police officers handcuffed Jimmy and lead him away. Haley stood watching as they took Jimmy away. Nathan came over to Haley and held her in his arms.

"You saved the day Haley." Nathan whispered.

"No I didn't. I knew Jimmy wouldn't have shot anyone."

"Then why on earth did you say you'd go and get yourself shot for someone else when you knew he wouldn't do it?"

"Because he needed someone to remind him that he wouldn't really shoot anyone."

"Haley James, your amazing."

"Haley James Scott?" She asked, hoping that Nathan would be okay with it and finally accept that Haley was truly back.

"Always and Forever."
