"What is he doing here, Luke?"
With those words, Nathan's world came crashing down. She doesn't want you here…..Oh God, this is worse than her being out on tour. At least than, I knew she still love me because her daily phone calls…which I normally ignored. I'm such as ass. I should have listened to her. I shouldn't have given her the ultimatum. I need to get out of here. He quickly ran out of the room.
"Nate!" Lucas yelled after him. He sighed and slowly turned to take Haley's hand, lean forward to kiss her forehead. "Hales, I'm going to get the doctor. Will you be ok for a few minutes?"
Her big brown eyes stared blankly back at him. She slowly nodded, wanting some answers herself.
She came running in as she could in four inch heels. She would have been there earlier but she was on a stupid family cruise out in the middle of the ocean with no cell reception. When she had gotten on land of the living, she immediately turn on her cell expecting calls from her best friend. But it wasn't her best friend's voice that stopped her dead in her track. It was her cheating ex bf, explaining that her best friend was in a freak accident and now was in the hospital. He had explained what he could and updated her on the girl's progress. She quickly dash up to her room in sunny Cali and packed few mementos, hoping it would help. She called the airlines and was on her to Tree Hill. That was twelve hours ago.
She made it to the elevator and was nearly run over. "Nate! Whoa! How is she?" She asked. From the look on his face, it made her wonder what was going on, if something worse had happened.
He was shaken out of his haze when he heard his name, turned to see who he nearly knocked over and was surprised to see who it was. "I gotta get some air." He stuttered.
"How is she?" She asked again.
"She's awake." And with that, he ran out of the hospital.
He was pacing back and forth in front of her door. It was about twenty minutes since the doctor went in. He was getting impatient and part of him wanted to go find Nathan. He had taken the first five minutes to call his mom and Keith, left a voice mail for her parents, and called Peyton. He would have called Brooke but she hadn't been answering her cell, he figured that he could call her when he knew more.
"LUCAS"
He stopped mid pace and turned to see her, running full speed to him. Brooke.
"How is she, Luke? Nate had said that she was awake but then ran out to get air? What are you doing out here? Why aren't you with her?" She said in one quick breath.
"The doctor is in there with her, have been for the past twenty minutes."
"So how is she?"
"I don't know. The first thing she said was 'What is he doing here, Luke?' and Nathan bolted. So I don't know." He sighed, looking at her. He could see that she was extremely worried but she was still beautiful.
"I think you should find Nathan. I'll wait here for the doctor to finish then go in to see her. Go find Nathan, he's going to want to know what is going on."
"Ok, we'll be back. I'll get him back here. Thanks Brooke. I'm glad you're here. I'm sure Hales will be happy to see you." He squeezed her hand and walked away.
When she got the call from Lucas saying that Haley was awake, she was confused on how she felt. She didn't know what was going on with her but it didn't matter her friends needed her and she was going to be there for them.
He didn't make it far from the hospital entrance, sitting on the bench in the small garden. It was far enough away to not be in the way and close enough to see how went in and out of the hospital. He couldn't believe she was awake. His Haley was awake. It had his heart soar then her sweet voice cut him deep. She didn't want him there, not that he blame her. If the situation had been reversed, he wouldn't want to see her either he guessed. But that didn't help the hurt at all. He thought of their relationship and how quickly things changed in the last couple of months. If he could change things he would have. He would have listened. He would have followed her. He would have answered the phone. He wouldn't have lost of her.
He closed his eyes and different memories flashed before him. Their bench. Their first kiss. Their first fight. Their first time making up. Their first 'I love yous'. He quickly opened his eyes, he couldn't let this be the end of them. He just couldn't. He would do anything to get her back. To get her to smile at him like she used to. To get her love back. He was going to fight for their love, even if he had to fight her to do it. He vowed to himself. I'm going to get you back Haley. Always and Forever.
He stood up and made his way back to the entrance.
"Hey I was just going to look for you."
"No need, I'm here."
"Hey, how are you guys?" Both boys turned to see who the voice belong to.
Peyton went to hug Nathan as Lucas looked suspiciously at her.
"She's awake. I'm going to get her back Peyton." Nathan said and turned to the elevator, waiting to have it take him to the love of his life.
Peyton's smile faltered for a quick moment then the smile returned. Nathan had not noticed but Lucas did. He was more suspicious of her now; he would have to talk to Brooke.
The doctor had taken another five minutes with Haley, so Brooke slowly made her way into the room. She noticed the small girl lying on her side staring out the window. "Hales" She softly called out.
Haley turned her head to the sound. When she saw her best friend standing here, she let out a sob. Brooke quickly rushed up to the small girl and hugged her fiercely, gently rubbing her back. She kissed her forehead and whispered that everything was going to be ok and that she was here for her.
After about ten minutes, Brooke slowly let her go. She needed Haley to talk to her. She made a quick inspection of her friend's body, looking for bruises or other injuries. "Hales, I need you to talk to me. I'm here for you." She squeezed her hand.
Haley took a deep breath and sent Brooke a small smile. "I came back because I found out I was pregnant."
A loud gasp from the doorway was heard. The two girls turned to see Lucas, Peyton and Nathan at the door.
Nathan stared at Haley as Haley stared at him. He opened his mouth and asked, "Is it mine?"
