If Only You Knew
She stared at the picture in her hand, not knowing what to do with it, the memories from it made her smile but also remember that things weren't like they had been anymore. The boy looking back at her from the picture had changed, and so had she. That picture had been taken a year and a half or so ago and things had changed so much since then.
Sitting up she put the picture back on the little table that had always been by her bed since she was a child.
She sighed and shook her head, grabbing the brush that had been beside her picture and ran it through her hair quickly before placing it back next to her picture, getting ready to go out. She was meeting her boyfriend for dinner and then they would just come back to her house and hang out for a while.
As she got up and was walking towards her door her cell phone rang and she went back by her bedside table and grabbed it, looking at the caller ID before closing her eyes. She opened them quickly making up her mind what she would do and hit the silent button, letting it continue to ring until the person hung up. She grabbed her hoodie that was draped over the chair at her desk and quickly put it on and she slipped her phone into the front pocket. She would check her voicemail later, already knowing what the person would be asking her.
She went over to the large mirror that hung above another large desk in her room and looked at herself, she was a mess, well you couldn't tell from the outside, but if anyone would ever bother to look inside they could tell. She ran one of her hands through her hair and then picked up some lip-gloss. It wasn't all that pretty colored stuff all the other girls would wear it was actually just beeswax lip-gloss she liked.
Not bothering to put any other makeup on, she left her room making sure to flip the light switch off as she left. She walked downstairs and went into her kitchen. She hadn't heard any noises for a while so she assumed her parents weren't home. She glanced at the clock and then quickly got herself some water.
She went over to the table and grabbed her keys checking the clock one last time before going into the living room and sitting on the couch.
The room looked so empty as she looked around it, even though it was filled with décor from around the world. Of course she'd not been there when it had been bought, it was all from when her parents traveled on their so called 'business trips'.
Snapping out of her thoughts she grabbed the remote and pushed the power button, turning on the large flat screen TV right in front of her. She flipped through the channels for a few minutes but nothing was on she wanted to watch. It didn't seem like anything was these days. She quickly turned the TV off and just sat there as the darkness surrounded her.
Drops of rain could soon be heard from outside, it was starting to rain harder and harder and now she didn't really feel like going out. She stood up and walked over to the large window and moved the drapes to the side to look out.
Lights were everywhere outside, from her neighbors and even street lights that were on the sidewalk in the front of her house that went through her whole neighborhood. A few cars passed by every now and then and the Christmas lights that practically covered every house down her street made the rain seem kind of pretty.
A few minutes passed before she decided to just go back upstairs into her room. She thought about calling one of her friends but figured they were probably out. She thought about calling her boyfriend who was supposed to be here by now but figured if he didn't show then she could just stay home and sleep, and not bother with dinner. She wasn't really hungry anyways.
She reached into the pocket where she had put her cell phone and laid onto her bed. She pulled her phone out and called her voicemail, knowing the person who had called earlier would have left her one. She smiled for the briefest moment when she heard his voice, one that had brought her so many good times, yet also a lot of bad.
Hitting the delete button was getting easier by the day for her, it would never be completely easy but she knew now she could get over it. She looked at the clock on her dresser just as her phone rang. She looked to see who it was. Her boyfriend.
Within a few minutes she was wiping tears from her eyes as she reached for the keys in her pocket and ran downstairs and out into the garage. She wasn't mad at him for not being there but now she had a terrible feeling and she didn't know if she should drive or not. But she had to.
She hit the remote in her car that would open the garage door and sat in her car and waited, wiping away tears so she could see too drive, she backed out slowly, not leaving until the garage door was shut again and she quickly was on her way to the hospital.
She called her boyfriend back but he didn't answer, she parked her car and ran into the emergency room, immediately running to the front desk when she did not see her boyfriend in the room.
"Can I help you?" A nurse looked up at her, she didn't look too friendly and had a blank look on her face.
"I'm looking for Nathan Scott, he was brought in by his brother Lucas."
The older looking lady typed a few words quickly into the computer that was in front of her and looked back up.
"He's in surgery, it will be a few hours before he gets out you can wait in the waiting room."
Haley nodded. "Thank you."
The lady didn't reply she just looked back at her computer; Haley rolled her eyes and followed the signs pointing to the waiting room.
TBC
Next up: Haley finds Luke and talks to him, will Nate be ok?
