Hey guys so I just watched these fast forward clips on the CW about OTH and it got me all excited :D But In a clip on You tube Nathan's hair is … oh god it made me laugh, he has a beard and his hairs longer than in S4. If you haven't already you should go and look on Youtube just type in-OTH season 5 and it should come up with new naley clips or something. And go to the CW for the fastforward things. But Haley's hair is so nice, and little Jamie is such a cutie! Seriously! I didn't get time to spell check sorry.

Every now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right up on the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

It's hard lovin' a man that's got a gypsy soul
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself
You're the angel that believes in me like nobody else
And I thank God you do

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

I know I don't tell you nearly enough
That I couldn't live one day without your love

When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby you, baby you save me

When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

Chapter Fourteen: Baby You Save Me

…

"… and Karen came round and she left you some lilies." It's been a couple days since Brooke's break down and she still isn't doing any better. She hasn't been home and hasn't left Haley's side. The nurses bring in cups of coffee and food but she hardly touches it. just sits, waiting and talking to her best friend, wanting, no needing her to wake up. Jake and Chris are scared if Haley doesn't wake up soon Brooke's going to just go into a shell and block everyone out.

"Jake hasn't been around but he has Connor to look after and Chris hasn't been round since… well… I'll tell you when you wake u. god I have lots to tell you…" Brooke was on such a roll that she didn't hear the scratchy little voice.

"Brooke"

"… And Nathan hasn't been round either but I think he's still blaming himself like most of us our, but-" Brooke's eyes widen and she slowly lifts her head to look at her friends face. And for the first time in five days a grin breaks out across the brunettes tired face. What she's been waiting for five days for has finally happened. Haley's awake.

"Hales." Brooke voice comes out in an emotional whisper. "Am I dreaming?"

Haley attempts a smile, "if you were dreaming we'd be in Barbados surrounded by hot life guards."

Brooke's eyes begin to water and she jumps from her seat and grabs her friend in a bone crushing hug. "Oww."

Quickly pulling back, "oh god Hales, I'm so sorry. Are you okay? I cant believe it, you're really awake. You're really here." Brooke's voice is soft.

Haley tries to sit up but a shooting pain stops her, for the first time since opening her eyes she looks down at her body. She has a cast on her leg and one on her wrist, there are bandages round her middle and she has cuts and bruises on her arms. She moves her gaze to Brooke, who still seems to be trying to believe this is really happening. "Brooke, what happened?" Haley asks, her voice still scratchy and throat sore.

'What happened?' The one question Brooke's been dreading. She knew when Haley woke up she'd have to answer it but no matter how many times she practiced what she was going to say. Nothing could prepare her for having to say it out loud. "Brooke?"

Brooke's jolted from her thoughts and sits down beside Haley's bed. She clears her throat. Still trying to get her head around Haley been awake she starts, "okay so what's the last thing you remember?"

"Emm… Playing Jenga with Nathan and telling him about Connor then everything's blank." Haley says, her head sore.

"Okay, so I'm just gonna say this real fast. After we fought ands you went to Nathan Chris came upstairs and he kissed me. then I ran out not talking about it like I should have and I drove over to Nathan cos I was gonna apologise to you but I ended up knocking you down. And you have no idea how sorry I am I didn't mean to, no matter how mad I get at you I would never want to hit you with my car. And everyone's been blaming themselves and I also have a lot to tell you." Brooke finished not stopping for a breath.

Haley sits wide-eyed taking in all this new information. "Whoa." She says slowly and quietly.

Brooke nods slowly, waiting for Haley to say something. "Are you mad at me?" She asks just wanting to get it over with.

An adoring smile breaks over Haley's face and she reaches out for Brooke's hand, "I could never be mad you Brooke. You're my cookie." Brooke smiles and a single tear runs down her cheek and squeezes Haley's hand affectionately. "Chris kissed you?" she asks after a minute.

Brooke nods and purses her lips. "Yup. I'll tell you more later I have to go phone Jake, Hales you have no idea how happy everyone's going to be." With one last teary smile to her best friend, for the first time in days Brooke Davis finds the strength to walk out the Hospital room door.

…

Jake shut his phone with a snap and dropped it to the floor. She's awake. He said to himself and it took a minute to sink in. "She's awake." He whispers softly as if he says it louder it might be a dream and he'll wake up. "Haley's awake." A smile breaks out on his face as he says it this time a bit louder. He looks over at Connor and grins, he picks the little boy up and holds him at arms length in front of him. "Mummies awake! She's awake!" he says loudly, his voice laced with excitement.

Jake does a happy dance with Connor in his arms and the little boy giggles. Picking his car keys from the coffee table Jake walks out his front door with Connor in his arms. He puts Connor in his car seat before getting in the drives seat and drives to the hospital. The smile never leaving his face.

…

"… I swear I'm taking in something else for you to wear, I mean have they never heard of colour?" Brooke scrunches her face up in disgust as she fingers Haley's hospital gown.

Haley giggles, "what colour would you make them? Pink?" Haley asks a cheeky smile on her face. Both girls turn their heads as the door opens and two people they haven't seen in days walk threw the door.

"Hales." Jake's voice comes out in a sob as he see's his friend awake for the first time in five days.

"Hey JJ, long time no see." Haley tries to joke and Jake rushes over to her, Connor still in his arms.

"God Hales. I was so worried, you have no idea." He says, his voice muffled into her neck as he hugs her.

Haley lets out a laugh, "hey I'm stubborn, you really think I was gonna give up without a fight?" she asks, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Jake pulls back, "not for a second." He says and places a kiss on her forehead.

"Mama!" The three teenagers turn their heads to the sound of the excited voice and smile as Connor bounces excitedly in Jake's arms.

"Baby" Haley smiles and takes Connor from Jake. She scrunches her face in pain as he wriggles atop her ribs but doesn't let Jake take him away. "I missed you." she smiles while placing noisy kisses on his cheeks.

None of the teenagers hear the door open. "Haley, glad to see you're awake." They all turn their heads and see Dr Jenkins walking in, chart in hand.

"Glad to finally be awake." Haley smiles and Brooke takes Connor from her.

Dr Jenkins tells Haley what fractures and broken bones (not good with medical stuff lol) and he runs some tests to make sure everything's okay. "So I want to keep you in for a few more days just to be safe, but of everything's in order you can go home. But you're on strict bed rest. No heavy lifting, don't strain yourself. But I'll explain more nearer the time. Yous two don't be in here too long Haley needs her rest." Dr Jenkins tells them but knows they wont leave their friend, and to be honest he doesn't blame them. He closes the door softly as he walks out of the room.

"Brooke?" The brunette turns her head to face her friend.

"Yeah?"

"I'm holding you to pushing me in my wheelchair." Haley smiles.

Brooke looks confused for a second, "you heard that?" Haley nods. "Wow, so you were like here but you weren't here. That is so weird." Brooke laughs, "so what else did you hear?"

"Well-" Haley's cut of as two figures enter her room. A smile graces her cut lips as she see's Chris and Nathan. "Hey rock star, I was wondering when you'd show." Chris smiles before rushing over and hugging Haley, not so much as to hurt her.

"God Hales." Chris wipes his eyes as he pulls back. "Never do that to us again." He smiles and she shakes her head. He takes a seat beside Brooke.

"So you just gonna stand there Scott or an I gonna get a hug?" Haley smirks and Nathan smiles shyly before walking towards her and gives her a hug.

"I haven't had anything to drink in days, come on Jake, Chris." Brooke's not so subtle hint for them to leave Nathan and Haley alone. Chris nods his head and stands up. "Come on Jake."

"I'm not so thirsty actually Brooke, and Haley's just woken up-Oww! What the hell you'd kick me for?" Brooke glares at him before grabbing his ear and dragging him out of the room.'

"We'll be back" Brooke smiles and closes the door softly behind them.

Haley laughs softly, "that was smooth." Nathan nods his head and chuckles whilst taking the seat Jake had just occupied.

"So… hi." Haley smiles.

"Hi." Nathan breathes out. "How are you?"

Haley laughs a little, "as good as someone who just got hit by a car." She tries to joke but when he doesn't laugh she nods her head slowly. "So..?"

"I'm sorry." Nathan blurts out and Haley looks confused. "I should have said something when you told me about Connor. Then you wouldn't have ran out and wouldn't have gotten hit. I'm so sorry Hales."

Haley heart swells, "Nathan it's not your fault. It's no ones fault. If you want to blame someone blame me, I mean who runs out in the middle of the road without looking both ways first?" She's rewarded with a small smile from Nathan. She's relieved that he isn't mad with her for keeping Connor a secret.

"I also wanted to tell you that, I'd love for you to be there for me and Connor." She smiles and when he looks confused she continues, "I was in a coma not deaf."

Nathan smiles but wonders what else she heard. Did she hear him say he liked her? Should he say something? He decided to just stay quiet and if Haley heard him then he'd wait for her to say something.

Haley smiled, not exactly saying everything she wanted to. That wasn't all she heard. Nathan likes me! she squealed in her head. When he didn't say anything about it Haley began to get worried. Does he not feel the same way anymore? Deciding to save herself embarrassment, she'd keep it to herself and if Nathan still liked her then he'd tell her in his own time. If only the both knew what mistakes they were making.
