Peyton had been acting different and everyone seemed too noticed then for 3 days straight she didn't come to school and she didn't answer her door when people came to talk. A teacher asks Rachel to stop by over to Peyton Sawyer's house and drop her work off to her and Rachel agreed to. When the bell rang Rachel got into her Denali and drove over to Peyton's house knowing that she wouldn't let her in she decides to break into her house. She went to the back Peyton's house and went to her window and lifted it and then climbed in she looked around and ran in she knew that Peyton was there because she heard the loud music from down the block. She ran into Peyton's room and the sight of a pale Peyton scared the crap out of her.
She ran over to Peyton and checked for a pulse and fortunately there was one it was weak but it was there. She ran to the bathroom and grabbed a towel and soaked it and then she ran back to Peyton and lifted Peyton up and rubbed the towel over Peyton's forehead. Peyton started to stir that's when Rachel noticed the little capsules filled with a white substance in it she got up and grabbed it she threw 3 of them away but kept one to keep as proof.
She laid down beside her in the bed and watched as Peyton slept and she didn't notice that she was also dozing off. She fell asleep and after being sleep for 3 hours she finally woke up looking at Peyton who seemed to be coming through. When she noticed Peyton in her bed she freaked she jumped up screaming "What the hell are you doing in here?" Rachel jumped and trying to calm Peyton down "Our 8th period teacher sent us here okay? She wanted me to drop this off to you alright? I knocked but you didn't answer and nobody has seen you in over 3 days and I wanted to make sure you weren't dead or something and thankfully you weren't you were just high what are you doing Peyton? Don't you know that crap can kill you?" she just looked at me with confusion and said "I don't know what you're talking about?" I showed her the capsule and she look ashamed and I felt guilty for making her feel that way "Peyton you cant keep risking your life this crap isn't worth it I swear I know exactly what I am talking about." She said and Peyton looked at her in disbelief and said "Nobody knows what goes through a person's mind when they use."
Rachel sat back down and said "I've been sober for 16 months addicted little over 3 years I was able to hide the fact that I was using then one day I overdosed and after overdosing like 2 more times I sobered up and been sober ever since nobody knows except me and you never told anyone else so trust me your little white friend will quickly turn against you just because you hung out once or twice doesn't mean the third time he wont stab you in the back." Peyton laughed and said "It sounds like your describing Brooke" Rachel looked at Peyton and cracked a smile.
Peyton looked at Rachel and had a tear strolling down her eyes "I can't stop Rach" and Rachel walked over to Peyton and laid her hand on her shoulder "why not? You know this wont end good so why not stop while people are still oblivious to it?" Peyton looked at Rachel and rubbed her hand down Rachel's face "I'm scared to do the whole rehab thing." Rachel smiled and said "Peyton I didn't do the whole going to rehab and AA meetings I just let the drugs leave my systems like that process it hurts the crave oh my god the crave is the worst but after…the crave is over it doesn't hurt as much it get's easy…it becomes necessary and much needed. I can help you with that but if you decide to do this only you can help you to stay sober." And Peyton gently kisses Rachel on the lips and Rachel kisses her back.
