"Haley James!" a 30 some year old woman yelled into the hospital waiting
room. I stood up and pulled my jacket tighter over my body. Peyton stood up
beside me and put a comforting hand on my back. I followed the nurse into a
curtain area where she told us a doctor would soon come.
"Haley I need to make a phone call. I'll be right back ok?" I nodded numbly
even though all I wanted at that moment was for someone to be by my side.
"Haley James?" a nice looking doctor came in and picked up my chart. "Hi
I'm Dr. Angela Kovac. So you were raped?"
"Yeah I was raped," I replied. I was so lost in my own thoughts. I didn't
want to say anything against Tim because I was worried about what he might
do.
"Ok well I'm going to get one of the nurses to come in and help me do a
rape exam on you. Is there anyone with you here?" the doctor asked me.
"Yes. My friend Peyton Sawyer is here," I told the doctor. I really wished
Peyton would get back.
"Ok I promise I'll be right back," the doctor gave me a sympathetic look
and then left the room. I sat in shocked silence holding my knees and
rocking back and forth for a few minutes until Peyton came back in.
"Look Hales I know you didn't want me to call Karen or anything but I
called Lucas's cell phone and he and Nathan are coming down. They told your
mom but made her promise not to tell anyone," Peyton told me. At that
moment I really didn't care. It made me feel better to have someone with me
and I know Lucas and Nathan would help a lot.
"Thanks Peyton. Thanks for everything," I told her as I started to cry.
Peyton just nodded and came over and started to rub my back comfortingly.
"Hey Haley. This is Ashleigh Lockhart, she's a nurse and we're going to get
some samples and test for STD's and pregnancy. I'm also having a
psychologist come down and talk to you," the doctor said to me. I nodded
and they took a few minutes to do the rape kit. The whole time I just kept
squeezing Peyton's hand. About 15 minutes later Nathan and Lucas came
running into my little room.
"Oh my god Hales!" they both said at the same time.
"I swear Haley when I get my hands on Tim he's gonna be dead," Lucas said
to me. Nathan nodded in agreement. Nathan kissed me and grabbed my hand
before taking over for Peyton and rubbing my back some more.
"Haley I have some news do you want these guys to leave the room?" the
doctor asked me when she came back in.
"No Nathan's my boyfriend and Lucas is my best friend," I said to the
doctor. I needed all the support I could get right about then.
"Ok then, Haley I'm very sorry but you're pregnant."
