Chapter 7 Confusion

Haley walks into the room where Peyton is and there is a stool in a corner. Haley sees one nurse and tons and tons of equipment. She sees Peyton in a bed with bruises all over face and a leg cast. Peyton's eyes open for a smile and then they close.
" So you probably want to know who I'm pregnant with." Said Peyton with a weak voice
" Yeah, the doctors need to know because it is some law before they do anything to the baby to have the Father's signature. So, Peyton who is he?" asked Haley.
" If I tell you, don't tell anyone" said Peyton.
" I won't just the doctor then I'll swear the doctor to secrecy."
" Okay, good enough. You see I went with that gothic girl at school to a party with her boyfriend. I was just there for the band (death dolls). When her boyfriend started to hit the Goth girl (Brett.) I was scared for her so I took a swing then I went blank. I must of called Brooke for help because her and Lucas were standing over me telling me I was knocked out. Then after two weeks I took a pregnancy test and here I Am." Explained Peyton
" Oh my gosh, why didn't you tell anyone?" asked Haley
" I was scared, Haley, I didn't want anybody to find out." Peyton says this trying not to break out into tears.
" Peyton, I want you to know that whatever happens we are here for you and that you shouldn't be embarrassed because it is not something you did but it is something he did." Said Haley.
" I know I screwed up."
" No you did not." Haley said. Then Peyton and her looked at each other and cried until the doctor interrupted them. Peyton told the doctor. The three of them talked and decided it was best for nature to run it's course on the baby. Peyton would have the baby premature and they would take it into ICU and try to make it live. While Haley and Peyton were talking Lucas and Brooke talked.

" Brooke look, I know you probably don't want to talk about last night but I need to get this off of my chest." Lucas said to Brooke. They were in the hallway waiting for Haley to get out.
" Your right I don't want to talk but get whatever off your chest." Snapped Brooke
" Brooke, I liked you a lot as a friend. Then we started to have romantic feelings after me and Peyton broke up. You knew how much that hurt me and I felt alone more then ever. Then I saw you and I had a rebound. Next Peyton shows up and......"
" Lucas, it was my fault I knew how much you still liked Peyton and it was my fault to even think of doing anything. I take full blame." interrupted Brooke.
" I take blame and I'm sorry." Said Lucas
" I'm sorry too," replied Brooke
" Friends," Lucas said holding his hand for a handshake.
" Just friends," said Brooke with her baby smile. Lucas smiled back then Haley came out of the room,
" So who is the father?" asked Brooke
" I am not allowed to tell," Replied, Haley.
" What I'm going to kill whoever did this to her," says Lucas with fist in his hand.
" No, you won't. She will tell you when she's ready too," said Haley
" Hey, have you called Nathan?" asked Lucas
" No, I forgot," replied Haley, " I'm going to go do that, bye."
Haley reached for her cell phone and walked outside to call her secret lover. Haley knows that Lucas her best friend would never agree in her dating his half bother. They absolutely hated each other and she did not want to ruin her friendship between her and Lucas. She sent a text to Nathan saying what happened. He sent one back saying he was coming right down.
Haley had to go home and freshen up for Nathan. So she told the others she was going to the Library to study. What a dork, she thought to herself, I'm already lying to Lucas about Nathan. Idiot!
