Chapter 17

The unsurpassed and most misfortunate night…

Haley eased through the crowd of dancing couples as she entered the club with Maria, Peyton, Rosa, Brooke, and Lupita.

Friday night Haley knew she overreacted. She shouldn't have freaked out as much as she did when she found out about Lucas and Peyton getting together and when she saw Nathan with another girl.

"It's just when you have so many things in your head and going on, you are bound to explode sometime," Maria told her that night.

Pedro at last found Haley outside, but thankfully she had already calmed herself down and wasn't so distraught. She convinced him to take her home early and she explained to him that she wasn't interested in him, in the way he was with her. He left her house, sad by the news and disappointed. She sauntered to her room and was surprised to find Maria sitting on her bed, already home. Haley finally told Maria everything as fresh tears fell from her eyes. Maria comforted her for the rest of the night till she fell asleep.

The next morning she went over to Lucas' house and rang the doorbell. Luckily, Lucas answered the door instead of Mario and right when she noticed him, she hugged him. Lucas happy by her gesture, hugged her back with as much love and care that there was in their friendship before the misfortune. There they stood, in front of the door, embracing each other until Haley lastly spoke up.

"Lucas I'm sorry," she finally voiced.

"Shhh…it's all right," he responded as he brought her to another hug.

And with those simple words, everything in their friendship was mended.

Peyton presented herself in Lucas' house when Haley was still there and she was unsure in what to do.

"Um…I don't know what to say or do…" she verbalized. "It's just that with Brooke, I never really had to deal with these kinds of things…" she explained as she remained, uneasy by them.

And with an effortless smile from Haley, Peyton knew that everything between them was all right again.

"But we are sorry from keeping it a secret from you," Peyton said.

"Just never keep anything away from me," she answered. "Let me be the judge of what is wrong and right, okay?" she continued.

And with a couple more exchanging hugs and smiles, Haley left the happy couple and went back home. To her dismay, Maria's idea of 'making her feel better' was to go clubbing that night. With much protest of Haley she couldn't convince her out of it, so here she was now, in the club with all her friends; at least all the girls.

"You are so lucky that I screwed up," Peyton voiced. "I would never be in this type of place," she persisted as she looked at the atmosphere of the club.

"Your fault," Haley retorted. "Besides, remember that I am not so thrilled of this idea also. I'm not a big fan of having guys come from behind me, unexpectedly I might add, and start grinding with me. I would much rather be home, watch T.V., or read a book," she finished as she kept a hold of Maria's hand so she wouldn't get lost.

"Oh you guys stop complaining," Maria interrupted. "You both are going to be thanking me when the night is over…"

Peyton and Haley rolled their eyes in response.

"Let's go get something to drink," Maria commented as she led them to the bar.

"Oh my God there are so many fine guys here," Brooke sporadically said, emphasizing the word 'fine'.

All the girls laughed in reply.

"Yeah there are," agreed Lupita. "So many…"

Brooke looked at her, annoyed, while Peyton, Maria, and Haley chuckled by Lupita's tendency to concur with everything Brooke says.

"Qué vamos a tomar muchachas?" asked the bartender behind the counter as he eyed each girl.

"Huh?" Brooke said in confusion.

"What are we drinking girls?" Maria translated. "So what do you guys want?"

"Hum…I'll take a margarita," Lupita verbalized.

"A beer," Peyton answered.

"A coke," Haley answered.

Maria glared at her in response.

"Haley we are here to get you more uplifted so don't give me any of this crap that you are getting a coke," Maria lectured her. "Podemos garrar dos Doble X's, una margarita, y una Piña Colada," she told the bartender.

"Claro," he said as he started gathering the drinks.

"Oh, Brooke what did you want?" Maria asked her.

"I'll get my own drink," she responded as she eyed the bartender in determination.

"Always count on Brooke," Peyton voiced with a laugh as she saw her talking with the bartender.

Minutes passed and the girls continued to stand without drinks.

"Ahha, we would really want our drinks now," Maria declared as she walked up to Brooke. "Stop distracting him from his job," she persisted as she set down 200 pesos.

"Drinks are on the house," the bartender announced as he handed them their drinks.

Brooke shot Maria a 'told you so' look as she smiled in triumph.

"You can thank me later," she told her as she grabbed her drink.

"What are you drinking?" Maria asked her.

"Sex on the Beach," she answered wickedly.

"Now we know why…" Peyton voiced as she grabbed her beer; a Doble X's.

"Bye handsome," declared Brooke as she leaned over the bar table and gave the bartender a kiss on the cheek.

"Definitely see you later…" he told her. "Anything else you need to drink girls, just come over to me," he told everyone as he brought his attention back to another customer.

"He speaks English?" Haley asked, confused. "I thought he only spoke Spanish…"

"Most of the people who work here are bilingual," Maria explained as she handed her the Piña Colada.

"So when are the guys getting here?" asked Peyton.

"Mario is bringing them," Maria informed them. "Mario also knows the bouncer so he shouldn't have a problem getting in…"

As if by cue, the three males approached the group of girls in the bar. Mario led Lucas and Nathan through the crowd until they reached their friends.

"Hey," greeted Maria. "We were just talking about you guys…"

"About good things I hope," responded Mario as he kissed Maria on the cheek. "Already drinking without us," he declared once he noticed the drinks in everyone's hands.

"Your fault for being late," she teased as she took a drink of her Doble X's in front of him.

"Thanks for the offer," Mario answered as he obtained her drink and took a sip of it with a grin.

"Hey you guys," interrupted Peyton as she walked towards Lucas and gave him a light kiss on the lips, causing most of the group to look at them in question. "We got together a couple of days ago," she explained to everyone.

"It was bound to happen sometime you guys…" voiced Maria.

Peyton looked at Brooke, uncertain of what her answer might be because of her awestruck face.

"Once you guys break up, he is fair game," Brooke replied with a smile.

Everyone laughed at Brooke's remark and knew that there wasn't going to be any fighting during the night. The guys went to go grab something to drink as the girls went to find somewhere to sit before they started dancing.

Haley stared at Nathan since she spotted him inside the club. She immediately noticed his dark brown hair from the immense mass on the dance floor. She didn't hold anything against Nathan for what he did the night before. She was out with another guy while he was at the party trying to have a good time, even though it still bothered her to see him with another girl.

She took a sip of her drink and immediately tasted the alcohol.

The guys approached the girls again all holding beers.

"So any of you wonderful ladies want to dance?" Mario asked. "How about you, Haley, want to join me in a salsa?"

She glanced at him and gave him a slight smile.

"I'm not really in the mood yet, sorry…" she replied as she took another swallow of her drink.

Mario looked away disappointed.

"I'll dance with you," Maria volunteered. "Let's go," she said as she set her drink down, grabbed his hand, and took him onto the dance floor, joining the massive multitude.

"I'm going to get me another drink," announced Brooke as she was already on her way to the hot bartender.

"Hey get me one too," yelled Haley. "The same thing."

Brooke nodded in recognition and began to talk or rather flirt with the bartender.

'I turned around and glanced at the group that was before me. Lucas and Peyton disappeared and it seemed that Lupita went to the bathroom or whatever. Now, here I stood by myself with Nathan, hesitant in what to say,' Haley thought as she took another mouthful of her drink. 'Just great…'

"So how was your date with Pedro?" asked Nathan, curious since last night. "He came home pretty early…"

"It was good…" she replied.

"I see…" he answered as he looked around the room.

"Where is he tonight, anyway?" she asked, trying to make conversation.

"Working…" he countered.

"I see…" she responded as she glanced at her empty drink.

"Here you go," interrupted Brooke as she handed Haley another Piña Colada. "Now I am going to go dance with the cute bartender," she said as he made his way towards them. "I convinced him to take a break," she explained with a wink as they left to the dance floor.

"Only Brooke," Haley voiced with a chuckle towards her new friend as she set her drink down onto the table, unsupervised and crossed her bare legs.

Immediately, Nathan's eye sight shifted to Haley's bare legs. She wore a jean skirt with a red top and some tennis shoes. He suddenly began to smirk at her appearance and exposed skin.

'Even if she was going to a club, she still dresses like her normal self instead of wearing something slutty like the rest of the girls here,' he told himself as he let out a laugh.

Haley gave him a bewildered look.

"Are you alright?" she asked him.

"I'm going to grab something to drink, I'll be back," declared Nathan as he went to the bar with a grin.

'Shit it's only Nathan and me now…' Haley reflected to herself. 'Now what the hell am I going to do?' she asked herself, confused on how she should act.

A light touch brought her back to reality. She turned around and noticed a suspicious guy behind her.

"Quierés a bailar?" the guy asked her.

Want to dance?

"No graciás," she replied as she picked up her drink, bringing it back to her attention.

"Is there a problem here?" Nathan abruptly asked as he showed up beside Haley, glaring at the guy.

"No, the guy was just leaving," she answered as she stared at the wary guy.

The guy left, but for some strange reason he was smiling like mad when he departed the duo.

"Some guys are just freaks," she said as she took another mouthful of her drink, but tasted something unusual in it.

"Is something wrong?" he asked her, noting her odd facial expression.

"Yeah everything's fine, I think that he put in more alcohol in this time," she said, believing that was why her drink tasted a little different.

"You sure your fine?" he asked her again, concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine," she replied as she gave him a smile.

Swiftly, she started feeling a little cheerful, like all her problems were lifted off her shoulders. She continued to down her drink; till it was all gone and she felt like she was in ecstasy. She was now beaming like crazy.

"Haley are you alright?" he asked her as he noticed her sudden joyful attitude.

"I'm fine. Actually more then fine, I feel great!" she said as she started moving up and down from her seat.

She looked at the crowd of people in the club and instantaneously wanted to join them.

"Come on, lets dance!" she said as she grabbed Nathan's arm without him answering.

"Shit Haley," he replied, almost dropping his drink that was in his hand, but set it before he left with her.

She guided him into the group of dancing people. Finally, she found a content spot on the floor, where less people were around and started dancing.

"Haley I don't dance," he told her.

Ignoring his complaints, she persisted on dancing, until she got close to Nathan and began dancing with him. Nathan stood behind Haley as she rubbed up and down against him, letting the rhythm of the song take control of her. Haley held onto Nathan from behind while he set his hands on her stomach. Soon, Nathan's hands started to lift up her shirt, allowing him to touch her exposing skin. Haley tightened her hold on Nathan, not wanting to let go of him; desiring to clutch him without end. Within minutes, both of the figures started to get hot from all the body heat radiating from them, but they continued dancing. Breathing hard, Haley held onto Nathan, bring her cheek against his while they kept moving as one. Suddenly, Haley lifted her mouth towards his and Nathan in recognition met her demands.

Their lips crashed into a passionate, burning, and electrifying kiss.

All the want, need, and lust emitted from the song, dancing, and from the kiss...

The kiss became deeper and deeper as they continued to dance and make out at the same time.

"Come on," commanded Nathan as broke away from Haley and led her to one corner, where it was deserted.

Nathan pressed Haley against the wall and within moments; Haley smashed her lips onto his, impatient and wanting more of him. They both couldn't get enough of each other. Nathan moved his lips from her mouth to her cheek till he finally reached her neck. Haley closed her eyes in thrill, enjoying the touch of his lips on her bare skin. In a flash, she grabbed his face and brought his lips against hers once again.

There the couple stood, hands roaming, kissing with desire, craving more, and getting turned on by each other.

At least until, Haley started to feel uneasy. Her head initiated to pound, producing a massive headache and her eye sight beginning to blur. The kisses ceased and so did their touches.

"I'm not feeling too good," Haley confessed as she held onto her head.

"Do you want me to get you home? Or I mean to get Mario or Maria to takes us?" he asked her, worried.

"No I'm fine," she said, almost losing her balance, but Nathan grabbed a hold of her before she collapsed.

"I'm getting Maria," he replied as he tried to find her through the considerable mass on the floor.

"I don't think…" Haley began, before she couldn't feel her legs anymore and gave out.

Nathan caught her before she crashed onto the floor and picked her up.

"Haley?" he asked her. "Haley?" he questioned again, panicking.

He glanced down to her quiet form in his arms and comprehended that she was unconscious. Terror overtook him and he knew that he needed to find someone he recognized, so they could take her home or to the hospital. He glanced around the club, looking for a familiar face, but couldn't locate one. More fear filled him.

"Nathan what happened?" asked a voice from behind him.

He rapidly turned around and noticed his brother's panicked shape.

"I don't know…we were dancing, and she wasn't acting like herself, then she passed out," Nathan informed him.

"What do you mean she just passed out?" he asked him, getting angry at Nathan.

"Man I don't know what happened!" Nathan snapped at him. "All I know is that we have to get her out of the club and to a hospital or something immediately," he told him, frustrated.

Lucas calmed down and now understood that Nathan was right.

"Take her outside. I'll get Maria," Lucas commanded as he left Nathan and went in search of her.

A few, curious partiers gave Nathan looks and a crowd was starting to shape around him.

"Get out of the way!" yelled Nathan as he pushed through the group of nosy onlookers.

Within a few minutes, Nathan stood outside still holding onto Haley in his arms. The moon radiated, allowing Nathan to see Haley's pale and weak form. He started to feel sad and worried of her well being.

"Nathan, what happened?" asked Maria, when she showed up 5 minutes later.

"I don't know…after you left, I went to get something to drink and she just sat on the chair, drinking, then she started acting different…" he said as they walked towards Maria's SUV.

"Acting different?" Maria asked as she opened the one of the side doors.

"Yeah like more uplifting, happier, excited…" he continued, leaving out the details of what they did afterwards.

"Happier?" she questioned, puzzled.

"There was this weird guy trying to convince her to dance when I went to get something to drink before," he remembered as he set Haley's small figure on the seat, getting in beside her. "He must of…"

"Put something in her drink," she finished for him. "Damn!" she said fuming. "You are never suppose to leave your drink unattended. Especially in there, it always happens here," she stated as she opened the driver's door.

"Well it happened," Nathan said. "It's in the past and we can't do anything about it now."

"Look at her!" she exclaimed. "What the hell are we going to do?"

"I don't know!" he snapped again. "I don't know what the bastard put in her drink!" he yelled, confused and angry.

"Look fury isn't going to help out this situation," Maria finally said, calming down.

"What happened?" asked a new tone, beside them.

They both turned to the new arrival, and noticed that it was Peyton.

"Some guy put a drug in Haley's drink," Nathan informed her, exasperated.

"Is she alright?" she dumbly questioned.

"What the hell do you think?" Nathan voiced, irritated.

"That happened to me when Brooke and I went to a Duke party. Some fucker put something in my drink…" she said, recalling.

"What did they do with you?" Maria asked.

"Well Brooke called Lucas and he went in there and got the name of the drug he slipped in my drink. They just took me home and I slept it off…"

"I don't know what to do?" confessed Maria, beginning to cry as she looked at Haley's structure. "Look at her, she's so pale!"

"I know, I know…" Peyton said as she opened the passenger door and held onto Maria. "Look, let's just take her home and hopefully she'll be able to sleep it off."

"Hopefully? We aren't guaranteed that she'll wake up!" cried out Nathan.

"Do you have a better plan?" she barked back.

"I think that she needs to see a doctor."

"No, she's underage. She is going to get in trouble with the Police and then she is going to get sent back home. She doesn't need to get into trouble because of some bastard slipped her something!" Peyton yelled back.

"She's right," Maria agreed, cleaning away her tears. "The Police will get called and it'll turn to a big ordeal that I don't think Haley wants to deal with."

"If she wakes up," Nathan injected back. "We aren't assured anything if we don't do something."

"Look at her, she is getting some color in her face back," said Maria as she looked at Haley's figure.

Haley fidgeted.

"She moved!" shouted Maria, happily.

Nathan and Peyton both gazed at Haley and noticed her shift a little.

"Let's take her home," Maria declared as she turned on the car. "The others are going to get a ride from Mario," she announced as she put the car in reverse and backed out.

Nathan gazed at Haley's petite form and sadness soon overtook him.

'She may not remember what happened tonight…' he told himself, disappointed. 'Anything that we did…'

However, one thing that he recalled from holding onto her was that Haley fit perfectly into his arms. He looked down to her and lightly pushed some hair aside from her face. He gazed at her sleeping shape and realized one thing…

He never wanted to let her go, again…
