Chapter 14- Awaken From the Past

"holy crap" Haley said running into the house slamming the door in Nathan's face then not even looking up she turned around on her heals and opened the door

"Thank you" he said carrying al of the luggage

"Yep" she said walking into the kitchen opening the letter from her parents. She sat down on the counter stool and read it.

Dear Haley bob

Love mom

Haley quietly put the letter back into the envelope and set it aside she looked at the address once more tracing it over with her fingers all the pain and all of the torture came running back to her at that moment she read the address over a couple times In her head

Rachel Margaret & Michael Margaret

1203 western road

Daemons MI

53403

The address scared her a bit she thought about not opening the letter and just putting it into a drawer and never think about it again but part of her wanted to know what they would have to write about what they would have to say after what happened to her. So she took a deep breathe and made a decision.

Dear Haley

Hi darling it's me Rachel I just thought id write you a small letter letting you know what's happening here well Jonathan is home now we're terribly sorry for what all happened but we have a small surprise for you in the mail coming soon and this .

Love

Rachel and Michael Margaret

p.s. we will still be sending you your $10.00 allowance a week we love you and are blessed to have had you in our family at Margaret foster homes.

Haley sat there in silence for a while thinking about what happened when she was at the club she didn't have one drink but he had already had three

Flashback

"guys it's getting late and we should get heading back" Haley said trying to convince Jonathan Fredrickson and Kimberly Cox to go back to there foster home after they had both became drunk, Haley only had one drink knowing one of them couldn't get stone cold drunk like they normally did. Besides the fact that they were only 15 years old this was their normal weekend routine they would get into a club with there fake I.D.s and would get drunk but one was only allowed to have a couple of drinks because they were in charge of taking the rest back to the place they called home.

"Hahaha" laughed Kimberly "we can't you don't have your drivers license and were both drunk were stuck here unless we can find a good man to take us home" Kim said walking up to a total stranger sliding her arm around him.

"Kim come on don't do this please, remember last time, come on" she said grabbing Kimberly's arm pulling her

"Let go of me" she yelled "fine I'll go home but you have to let me drive" Kim said stumbling on her words

"What no you're drunk I'll drive"

"Well you don't have a license and you don't know how to drive" she said taking another drink of her tequila

"Yes I do I was taught when I was in the eighth grade" Haley said putting a hand on her hip

"Jon come on Haley party pooper is making us go home" Kim said walking towards the door

"You'll thank me in the morning" Haley said walking after them

"Whatever" Jon said not caring

"God how did I get here what did I do wrong" Haley thought out loud

"You were born" Kim said angry

'Your right I shouldn't have been born I'm a mistake' Haley thought starting the car.

"I have to sit in the front" Jon said pushing Kim out of the way

'God I wish I weren't here'

Haley looked at the clock and saw the time 3:48 in the morning they are so getting grounded tonight Haley wanted to get home as fast as she could so she stepped on the gas and then she heard a sound she looked back without lifting her foot and Kim had vomited all over the back seat "Kim" Haley whined and then was interrupted

"Haley look out" Jon said she had just ran a red light and hit not just one car but two she drove the car into another car one car hit the front of Jon's car the other hit the passengers side they were all knocked on conscious the next thing Haley remembers is sitting in a hospital room with doctors saying it was attempted suicide from the compact of the cars

"Rachel" Haley managed to whisper out

"oh Haley dear how do you feel" said a women who went by the name of Rachel she was their foster mom she had blonde straight hair that was cut a little blow the shoulder Rachel was a business woman and had just gotten home from a business trip when she got the phone

"I'm fine, how are they" Haley said meaning Kim and Jon

"Oh honey Kim is just fine just a couple bumps and broses like you"

"What about Jon"

"Oh honey they say the car hit him at the nearest point of impact he's umm he's in a coma"

"What" Haley said tears swelling up in her eyes

"The doctor said that the way you hit the car it was an attempt of suicide"

"Dear" all Haley could do was look away out the window tears now streaming down her face "ok I understand I'll come to talk to you later I'll call your parents"

Haley looked down and saw all of the needles that were in her hands she followed the cord and saw they went to an IV. bag she looked down and pulled the needles out of her hand. She let out a cry and got out from under her covers stepped down on the cold hospital floor she walked down the hall and looked through each window at the end of the hall she stopped dead in her tracks and she slowly opened the door and went up to the sleeping figure he looked so peaceful and in so much pain at the same time. she walked over to him and sat down she put his hand in hers and started talking "hey Jon I'm so sorry I should have been watching I know I haven't been happy but I didn't do this on purpose I'm so sorry your like this now it's all my fault I'll never forgive myself if you don't wake up" tears streamed down her face she couldn't stop them. It was her fault they were in the accident if she wasn't so worried that she would get into trouble she never would have gone so fast and she never would have crashed. He (Jon) never woke up until now I guess.

End flashback

Haley was now on the verge of tears Nathan had just walked into the kitchen to find Haley sitting their still in total silence until he went to the fridge to get something to eat she took and grabbed the envelope to put the letter in it until she realized it was a little heavier than it would normally be she cupped her hand at the top of the envelope and tipped it upside down out can a ring and a key the key was to her bed room and the ring was a ring that each of the foster children got when they were excepted into the Margaret family with a small letter attached to them both the key and the ring that said you left these here before you left have a good life Haley at that moment there was nothing Haley could do other than cry.
