I made a mistake at the first of this story, I wrote that Deb didn't get out. Deb did infact get out, and that is where Nathan went this morning up he also went somewhere else... Thanks soooo much for the reviews! This update is for the few that reviewed so quickly! Keep R&Ring! :)


Nathan had never felt so horrible. Not when him and Peyton broke up, not when Dan used to presure him about basketball, not when he found out about Lucas, not ever. He would never be able to forgive himself if anything happend to her. He should have never of left her. It was his fault.

He'd been sitting there for about 15 minutes in that same position when it finally came to him that all of Haley's world had no idea what was going on. He took out his cell phone and began dialing. His first call went to Lucas.

"Hello"

"Hey Luke, it's Nathan"

"Ahh, Nate? Are you okay? This is Brooke, not Lucas"

"Ohh, okay, is Lucas there?" He wanted Lucas to be the first to know, plus he would know how to get a hold of Haley's parents.

"No actually, he's not, he just stepped into the shower, but is everything okay?" Brooke always had an incredable talent of reading people, wether she could actually see them or not.

"Brooke, somethings happend with Haley"

"Great, you got her pregnant, didn't you?"

"What? No. Brooke, listen to me. I umm.. well I.. I don't really know what's wrong with her but were at the hospital and the doctors took her away and I just thought you'd like to know" He breathed out, that was harder then he thought.

"Omg, Nate, are you okay?" Brooke said, starting to freak out abit.

"Yeah, I'm fine but I don't know if she's going to make it. She looked really bad Brooke"

"Okay Nate, here's what i'm going to do. I'm going to get Luke and we're going to come okay?"

"Okay, and Brooke?" He said with a sigh "Would you be able to call the others, I don't think I can tell anyone else"


30 Minutes later Brooke, Luke, Peyton and Jake were all in the waiting room with Nathan. There wasn't much conversation going on between the 5 of them simply because there wasn't really much to say. Everyone was trying there best to comfort eachother, especially Nathan who was nothing but a mess. He couldn't stop thinking that it was his fault that Haley was in there. There was nothing left to do but wait.

"Does it usually take this long?" Lucas asked impationtly as he paced around the room. This was about the 15th time that he was after asking this so they all knew that there was no point in telling him once again that the doctors would tell them as soon as they knew something.

Peyton was the next to speak.

"Haley's strong. She's a fighter."

"You know what? Peyton's right" Brooke piped in. "She would never let any of us quit at anything. She always stood by us."

"And we have to stand by her" Jake added.

The next few seconds were quiet. Everyone was thinking about what had just been said, especially Nathan. He wanted so badly to stand by her but he just kept thinking about how badly he had screwed up. If he just had to stay with her then would they still be in this situation?
Suddenly everything just clouded over him. He just knew he couldn't stand waiting here for one more second, he had to get some air.

"Excuse me" He said absentmindedly and quickly walked outside before anyone else could stop him.

Inside, Luke got up to go after him but Peyton grabbed his arm, "Let me?" she asked.

"Umm, sure" He said, not sure why she wanted to go. Her and Nathan hadn't really been close in awhile.

Outside Peyton found Nathan sat down on a bench in the same position they found him in when they first arrived, head in hands.

"I ment what I said you know." She said, sitting down next to him.

"I know, and I know your right, it's just, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything ever happend to her. Especially since we just patched things up."

"Nate, she loves you dude." Peyton sympathized "She always did, even when she was on tour"

"I know that now, but it still doesn't help what I did"

"What do you mean 'what you did'?" She asked, confused "You said you don't know whats wrong with her.. Nathan you didn't..?"

"Wait, what? No. That's not what I ment" He quickly replied.

"Then what did you mean?"

"Peyton when I left her this morning I left to go get an appartment i'd been looking at, we were going to move out on our own again. And I didn't get it but thats not the point. The point is that I left her. She was fine when I left, at least I thought she was. But when I got back..."

"Nathan Scott, this is NOT your fault."

"Then why does it feel like it is?" He said, starting to get mad.

Peyton went to reply but as she opened her mouth the door swung open and Brooke walked out. "Nate, the doctors are asking for you."

Nathan shot up and ran inside, searching for the doctor. The moment he saw him he ran to him as fast as he could.

"How is she?"

"Mr. Scott, how long has your wife been abusing perscription drugs?"
