Hey sorry for the long wait! but the next few chapters will hopefully make up for it! i duno! i'll leave it fir you to let me know through the good old method of reviewing!

this chapter is named after the song 'indiscriminate act of kindness' by Foy Vance! I saw him recently at a gig and figured the title of this song sort of fit! If you are interested in some new music he is awesome! apparently 'indescriminate' means random so he is a chapter about a bit of a 'random act of kindness!

happy reading!

Indescriminate Act Of Kindness

It was a few weeks into the gang's first week at uni and the new freshmen had settled in well! All apart from the fights between Nathan and the rest of the basketball team for the ball while hardly saying 2 words to anybody, Haley was still having the reoccurring nightmare about her parents death and things were getting worse since their wedding anniversary was coming up, they would have been 26 years married. She also hadnt told her roommates about why she screamed in the middle of the night or woke up in a cold sweat.

In fact Haley hadn't told them much about herself, but knew she was going to have to soon! She hated telling people because they always had the same reaction, PITY! One thing Haley James couldn't stand was people feeling sorry for her! In the end those friendships were ruined.

Lucas and Brooke were getting closer by the day-almost by the hour! Peyton and Jake had also become good friends although denied that there was anything going on! Mouth had met a girl called Lucy and Skills, well Skills had met most of the girls! Everybody seemed to find somebody to be with or potentially to be with! Well, all apart from Haley, and this frustrated her

Then there was Nathan, every time he saw Haley he just ignored her, she tried to speak to him, be nice because it was Lucas and Jakes roommate but it was only left ignored.

Although what nobody knew was that everytime Nathan saw Haley, he was taken aback by her beauty! He found her beautiful but this only confused him because 'Nathan Scott never found a girl pretty or beautiful! No never, it was always, hot or fit'
It annoyed him because even though he felt that way towards her he knew nothing would ever happen because of his reputation/the wall he put up!

Brooke was getting comfortable and settling in with her new roommate, they had become quite close although she was knew her and peyton were keeping something from Haley and she knew Haley was keeping something from them! She just hoped that it would all work out soon!

Peyton was taking everything as it came, or was trying to! She niticed too that Haley was keeping something from them but didnt want to ask about it!

One night Haley's nightmares had gotten worse and the flashbacks had become so real it felt as if she was re-living everything she went through in one dream! All of the emoticons, everything

Flash back/the dream

Karen - ''Lucas, Haley go up stairs!''

knock on the door, police men enter

her and Lucas on the stairs, then in his room crying into Karen

the policeman's voice, ''fatal car accident, one is in the hospital with little hope of recovery and I'm sorry to say the other died at the scene!''

''there was nothing we could do!''

the footage of the car accident, watching the tv clip of the wreckage over and over

seeing one of them them in the hospital

hearing the sound of the heart moniter go flat

''there was nothing we could do''

the funeral, Lucas taking her hand while Karen hugged her

packing up the house, putting pictures of their wedding etc in a box

the minister - ''the lives of the two young parents taken too early, a daughter left wrongfully alone! Lord be with her and those who love her and who loved her parents''

lowering them into the graves

''nothing we could do-- two young parent, taken too early--alone-alone-alone''

their wedding photo

end of flashback

She abruptly woke up and needed to escape. She needed someone to run into them for a hug, someone who understood the pain and suffering! Someone who was there for her and would tell her all was going to be ok! She couldnt be in this dorm any longer, Brooke and Peyton idnt understand, they didnt know! She needed Karen, She needed Lucas!

She got out of bed, it was about 4.30, sun was rising and she raced out of the apartment without noticing the papers she sent flying as she bumped into the coffee table. She never bothered to pick them up or even close the door! She left so fast and the tears were falling so hard she couldnt figure out the way to Lucas's dorm.

First she was able to find her way to the river, hoping she would then find her way to lucas'. This river ran throught the campus and you were able to get to it if you came out of haleys apartement building and kept going right!

By the time she arrived she needed Lucas even more than before, she had to make her way to him - but how? She had no idea were abouts on the river she was! how close she was to Lucas or anything of the sort!

She turned and started to run! Fresh new tears had started and she was really disorientated. At one point she just collapsed onto the ground! she was tired of running, and was weak from crying! She was scared and upset and all she could do was to cry! To put it easily, she was a mess! She needed a comforting arm of someone who cared for her around her! She needed someone to tell her it was ok and to let it out!

A good while later she thought she heard someone call her name but wasnt completely sure until the voice said again, but closer this time! It was a male voice but couldnt place it! She slowly raised her head and to her suprise Nathan Scott was standing over her with a suprising look of worry on his face!

''Haley, you need to get up!'' he realised she had no power to move by herself so did what he had to! ''come on, lets get you up!'' he gently placed one arm under her arm and took her other hand and coaxed her to her feet! 'what on earth is he doing, he doesnt like me, he doesnt like anyone! why is he helping me?' she thought

'would you like a tissue?'' he offered kindly. She nodded yes through the tears.He handed her one and lead her over to a seat near by! Haley then noticed he was in his running gear! When they sat down he let her cry into his should her a while and gently rubbed her back! She still couldnt figure out why he was being so nice!
She started to calm down a bit and Nathan decided to try and find out what she was doing out all by her self!

''Haley'' he said softly ''do you think you could settle for just a bit so we could talk?'' she nodded while still leaning into his strong yet surprisingly comfortable muscular body

''can you remember why you were out her? Who were you looking for?'' he said softly! you could hear the care in his voice

''lu-l-lucas! I need Lucas'' she stumbled out!

he then understood that she needed her friend and that he was not going to get much more out of her!
He looked down at her fragile body and knew she was in no fit state to walk! he had no idea how he was going to get her to Lucas. He didnt even have his phone because he always left it alone when he came on his runs!

''ok Haley, your going to have to trust me! i will get you to Lucas! I wont leave you!'' and with that he gently scooped her up into his arms and carried her all the way to his apartment to get Lucas!

'a tear came to her eye she thought how could he be so kind.
how could he be so kind-how could he be so kind
...
she started to cry singing why why why
consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness
consider it an indiscriminate act of kindness'
