Haley James sat in her room, crying, hours after it happened. She finally
reached over and picked up her phone.
"Brooke? It's Haley. I need you to come over," she cried.
"Haley? What's wrong? Never mind I'll be right over. Tell me when I get
there," Brooke said and hung up. Haley figured she should get dressed but
she didn't want to risk anyone seeing her in her current state, so she just
pulled the blanket tighter around herself in the dark.
"Hales? Haley? Where you at?" Brooke called gently into the empty, dark
house. Brooke walked upstairs and entered Haley's bedroom. She gasped when
she saw Haley's bruise ridden body.
"Oh my god! Haley what happened?!" Brooke screamed. "Did Nathan do this?! I
swear if he did I'll kill the bastard!"
"No, Brooke, it was Dan. It was awful. The whole time he was raping me he
kept something about making me hurt like I hurt him for taking his son,"
Haley continued crying. Brooke leaned down and picked Haley up.
"We're calling Nathan and Lucas and taking you to the hospital," Brooke
said as she carried Haley downstairs.
"No don't! It's too late to bother them," Haley said as Brooke put her in
the car. Brooke just nodded and took out her cell phone.
"Lucas? Oh hi Karen. Yes I know I've missed you too. Is Lucas there?"
Brooke said over the phone. "Lucas, it's Brooke. Dan beat and raped Haley.
Meet us at the hospital," Brooke hung up the phone and dialed Nathan's cell
phone number.
"Nathan, it's Brooke. Dan raped and beat Haley. She's really shaken. Meet
us at the hospital," Brooke said as she drove down the empty road.
"That bastard! He's going to pay! I'll kill him!" Nathan screamed. Brooke
calmed him down and hung up. She debated whether or not to call Peyton and
finally decided that she deserved to know, all issues between them aside.
"Peyton. It's Brooke. Dan raped and beat Haley. Meet us at the hospital,"
Brooke said and hung up. She arrived at the hospital and carried Haley into
the Emergency Room.
"I need some help! My friend was beaten and raped!" Brooke called into the
fairly empty waiting room.
"Right this way ma'am," a nurse said and led them to a small room. "We're
going to have to ask you to wait outside." Brooke kissed Haley on the
forehead.
"Hang in there, Tutor Girl," Brooke said and left. She sat in the waiting
room for a few minutes before Peyton arrived.
"Hey, Brooke. How is she?" Peyton greeted the brunette.
"I don't know," Brooke said barely hiding her disgust with Peyton.
"Look, I'm sorry ok. I have to tell you something. I'm pregnant. I just
found out," Peyton said. It sounded as though she was still struggling with
what she was going to do.
"And what Peyton? Why do you have to tell me now?! When we're waiting to
find out if Haley lives or dies?! How could you be so cold?! Actually I
should've known! Shouldn't have expected anything less from you. And I take
it it's Luke's? Actually wait I don't want to know!" Brooke yelled at
Peyton before storming across the room. Peyton stood, shocked before
heading to where Brooke was. Brooke got up and started walking around with
Peyton following her.
"No it's not his! Actually I don't know! It could be his, Jake's, or
Nathan's. I only slept with Lucas once. I slept with Jake like 5 times.
Plus I think the conception date is wrong to be Nathan's," Peyton said.
Brooke stopped dead in her tracks and turned around.
"Wow nothing like to have your ex-best friend's boyfriend's kid to show her
how much you love her hmm?" Brooke said and left Peyton standing by the
entrance.
"Brooke?" Nathan called into the waiting room as he ran in. Nathan looked
close to tears and to see Nathan Scott almost crying looked so funny that
Brooke let out a small laugh.
"Hey Nathan," Brooke greeted him.
"How is she?" Nathan asked as he glanced around the room.
"I don't know. Is Luke here yet?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah I saw him over with Peyton," Nathan responded and sat down with
Brooke.
"You mean with the little slut/whore/backstabber?" Brooke said with pure
hatred.
"I know what you mean. As soon as Lucas came in she immediately asked to
talked to him. By any off chance do you know why?" Nathan said to her
trying to distract himself.
"Yeah she's pregnant and she says it could be Lucas's or Jake's," Brooke
said, happy to divulge any gossip about Peyton but careful not to say that
it could be his.
"What the -? Are you sure?" Nathan spewed.
"Is anyone here for Ms. James?" a nurse called into the waiting room.
Lucas, Nathan, Brooke, and Peyton all walked over to where the nurse was
standing.
"We're her friends and she's my sister," Lucas said, lying to get
information about her.
"Well your sister has a few broken ribs, a broken wrist, and she's
pregnant. We're waiting for test results to see about STD's," the nurse
said.
"Fucking bastard! I'll kill him!" Nathan growled. He spun on his heel and
bolted to his car. Lucas chased after his brother.
"Nathan! Wait!" Lucas grabbed Nathan and forced him to turn around. "It
won't do any good to have you sitting in jail because you killed our
father. Even though he does deserve it."
"Look Haley and I fooled around before so as far as this baby's concerned
I'm acting like it's mine even if it may not be mine! But he does NOT
deserve to get away with this! I love Haley! And damn it I'm going to love
this kid too!" Nathan yelled at Lucas. After that he sank down on the curb
and started crying, all strength gone from him. "Hell froze over. Pigs
flew. Fat kids got popular. And Tim got a date."* Lucas could not believe
his brother was crying. He would not cry if his own father died. Of course
that's understandable. In fact, he'd probably throw a party.
"Nate it's ok. Haley and you will survive it. Look as far as I'm concerned
that kid is my nephew or niece. Now I know it's going to be hard but you
guys can do it. I'll be here for whatever you guys need," Lucas said as he
sat down next to his brother. "Oh and not that you need anymore news but
Peyton's pregnant."
"Yeah Brooke told me. Is it yours?" Nathan asked.
"She doesn't know it might be Jake's. I'm going with her to take a
paternity test."
"Man! What is that kid a baby machine?" Nathan joked trying to take his
mind off of Haley and everything.
"Yeah really! You ready to go back inside. We'll let you talk to Hales
alone," Lucas said as he stood up and offered his hand to Nathan. Nathan
took his hand and stood up. The two walked back inside. Nathan went into
Haley's room and sat on the bed.
"Baby I just want you to know as far as I'm concerned that baby of yours is
mine and I'll always be there for the two of you," Nathan said and kissed
Haley. "I talked to my mom and Karen and Karen said all three of us were
welcome to live with her and Lucas, even though it will be kind of cramped.
So what do you say?"
"Thanks Nathan. That sounds great. I love you Nate," Haley replied. Nathan
smiled and took Haley's hand. "I just have to talk to my parents.
* * *
the next day at the hospital...
"Haley your parents are here," Lucas said when he came for visiting hours
the next day.
"Oh the loving parents finally decided to show," Haley said sarcastically.
Lucas smiled and just nodded his head. Haley's parents walked in and stood
by her bed. They didn't talk for awhile and just sat in awkward silence.
"How could you let someone do this to you Haley James?" her mother asked.
"I didn't LET someone do this to me mother. And by the way I'm not fine
thanks for asking. I broke my wrist and 3 ribs and I'm pregnant," Haley
said angrily.
"You're pregnant?! That is not acceptable Haley! When you're discharged
don't even think about coming home!" her mother yelled at Haley. Haley
stayed quiet but silent tears rolled down her cheeks. Her parents stalked
out of the room and Lucas came back in.
"Hey Hales don't forget mom said you and Nathan and the baby could come
stay with us," Lucas said as he sat down quietly on her bed.
"Thanks Lucas," Haley said.
