Intro
I'm Nathan Scott. I'm 22 years old and I live in Tree Hill, North Carolina. Right now, I'm not doing much of anything except helping out my half-brother Lucas coach the local high school basketball team. That's not exactly what I figured I'd be doing at this point in my life. I should've been in Seattle, playing for the Sonics. Would've been too if I wouldn't have screwed it all up. Some guy decided to run his mouth, giving me shit and I let him get to me which ended up with me getting thrown out a window and I spent the next 4 months in a wheelchair. Yeah, pretty messed up huh?
Well, that's not even the beginning of it. My whole life's pretty much been one screw up after another. I did one good thing in my life and that was my son Jamie. Me and his mom Haley, we got married in high school. Six years, man. Hard to believe. Things have been kinda rough lately and for awhile I wondered if we were gonna make it. I really screwed some stuff up. But I really think we're gonna be okay. We both wanna try and that's what's important.
I miss basketball. For a long time, it was my whole life. Everything I'd ever dreamed of. Something I'd sacrifice pretty much anything for, and trust me, I did. Including borrowing money from some loan shark, shaving points and getting busted, and almost getting Haley killed. I sound like a real great guy don't I? I'm really not that bad, I've just made some real bad choices in my life. But I'm trying. That's all I can do.
It's hard, seeing everyone you hung out with in High School get everything they ever dreamed of while you lose your own dream. But, I'm happy for them. Lucas, that's my brother, he published a book, Brooke, she's got her clothing line, Peyton finally got her record label and even Haley, she's making a CD with Peyton right now. But you know what? I'm happy for them. They all deserve it.
I guess I really didn't lose my dreams, they just turned into something else. My only focus now is to be the best dad I can be, 'cause I never want to turn out to be like my dad. I don't ever want Jamie to look at me like I look at Dan.
