Author's Note: Hi Everyone! I sort of wrote a short scene for what I thought The Season Finale of OTH Season 7 didn't air. Please review :)
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the show.
Haley was, aside from Jamie, the most important thing in his life. Without her, there was nothing.
How would he ever wake up in the morning and not see her lying next to him, her face serene and peaceful as she slept. He would he ever live without the way her hair smelled after a shower or the way just one of her smiles made his day…everything about her was his drug. He needed it. He needed her.
All this was racing quickly through his head as he leaned against his balcony, staring in horror at the pool.
Run! Was all he could think as he took off into a dead sprint down the stairs.
His heart was beating so fast it was nearly thumping out of his chest. "HALEY! OH GOD! HALEY!" he was screaming as he ran out the back door and did a running start before he dove in after her.
His fingers found her arm and he yanked as hard as he could, tugging at her waist to bring her up. "Haley? Baby?" he asked frantically, feeling the tears sting his eyes.
Not her! He kept thinking. Not her!
She coughed once, and it was the most relieving sound he had ever heard. "Just breathe, baby."
He couldn't help but throw his arms around her.
She stared bewildered into space, not realizing what she had just done.
"Why did you do that Haley?" he gasped, coming down from the adrenaline rush he had just experienced. "How could you do that?"
"I…I…" her voice came out soft and weak. "I just wanted to feel again."
She started to shiver, her lower jaw clattering against the top one as she coughed again, getting the water out of her lungs.
He jumped up on the side of the pool and grabbed her waist, yanking her out as well.
She laid on the cement, too cold to move. "I-I'm s-sorry."
"Shh…Shh…" he soothed, grabbing her and holding her in his arms. "We need to get inside. You're freezing."
"I'm sorry!" she sobbed again, realizing what she had almost done to herself. "I-I just miss her."
"I know…I know...We need to get inside. Come on."
He stood her up and walked her inside, knowing that it was past time to call the therapist.
