Although the clouded world around Haley moved in an utmost slow she new time had began ticking. Sitting on the floor of the hospital corridor she laid her head back against the wall as more tears drifted down her cheekbones. Biting her lip and bringing her eyes to that of an open she scanned the area in which she found herself. Many people were waiting patiently. Some with magazines in their hold, some flocking to their children, and some chatting it up with others. How on earth could they be acting so civil? How were they acting as if nothing seemed to be wrong? Laughing bitterly she spoke out in a whisper in which not many could hear.
"It's because nothing is wrong." As she began chuckling once again she felt arms reach for her. Her mind state she knew was not in normal capacity but come now why must they always flee to her like a damn baby. Pushing Lucas from her she gave him a look that could kill and found her voice screeching out.
"Stop touching me dammit! I'm not a freaking baby Luke. I can take care of myself!" As those words left her a new state of worry hit her. She would in fact need that statement to be true. She knew whether it was or not that is what she would find herself to be doing for the days to come. She would be alone from here on out. She was now certain more than ever. It had been a good hour since Haley and Nathan entered the hospital walls and since then several doctors had been approaching. They all looked terribly saddened and that's when they knew for sure. Joey would in fact not make it out of this place alive. The amount of blood, the force of impact, the broken bones. It was all working against him and causing his body to slowly lose the life within. Tightening her hands she quickly shook her head at Lucas feeling disgusted with him at the moment. Of course she would be. Here he was trying to make her feel better when the world around her was trying everything to see her fall. And who was he to go against the world around? Who was he to give her hope and love? Pushing him once more away from her she looked to the people in the waiting room and didn't give it a single more thought before bursting words from her lungs.
"What the hell are all of you doing here anyway? Waiting? It's funny huh? We all just sit here, wait to see if our loved ones are going to make it out of here all right." Stepping around the center of the room she looked to everyone's sorrowful faces. Clenching her teeth and stepping over to one of the saddened woman she ripped the magazine from her grasp. Smirking a bit Haley then threw the paper reading to the floor and questioned.
"What are you wasting your time here for? He's not gonna make it out alive you know." Spinning herself around she shrugged her shoulders at all the watching eyes. "No one is. Think about it. These doctors are nothing but people. They surely aren't god. Only god can truly cure our loved ones. So why put faith in these sorry bastards? Huh? Why? Why would you trust these people to keep your loved ones breathing? To make them better? To keep them alive? It's stupid really. The fate of our friends and family lie in the hands of these ... schooled people. Ones that don't have any power what so ever. Ones who just moments ago told me they were giving up. That there was nothing that they could do! You know that? They said they were done trying! They stopped! He could make it! I know he can! But its their fault! Their sorry asses should be Fired! they know nothing!" As her screams continued to fill through the room many started tearing as well. They all could see the hurt of this poor young child. The hurt she was going through at this very moment. Screaming louder and louder more sobs bounded from Haley's body. As Lucas gently grabbed for her she jumped in pure pain.
"Don't touch me! You're just like them! You want me to be okay? You think you can make it all better! Make him live Luke! Make him better! Dammit Lucas keep Joey alive for me!" Pushing him repeatedly she lifted her hand in a raise. Swiftly and with much force she found her hand connecting with his cheekbone. Slapping the face of her best friend and causing a mark to reside there. Lucas just continued gazing through her as the sting came across his face. Her mind had drifted and he knew not to fight back. Nor would he ever consider it. As he went to reach out for her again she repeated her actions and a second sting was made known to him. People around them were all silently looking on in horror and sympathy. They did not know of what to do in a situation of this kind. As he held her arms upright keeping her from swinging again her voice became panicked.
"Stop it you're hurting me! Let me go! Please ouch! It hurts! Stop it! Help! Help me please!" As she tried fighting his hold Lucas felt an ache deep within him. Never had Haley turned from him in time of need. He was always there for her to help her through tough times and usually she let him. Tonight was something he had yet to ever witness. As she continued her hollers of pain a soft hand slowly rested against his shoulder. Turning his head to the side his brother stood present. Knowing what Nathan had wanted from him he slowly released the arms of his best friend and backed away. Moving to the wall he watched as Nathan slowly slid his arms around his Haley and scooped her up gently. As she cried into the depths of his neck Lucas could not bare to witness. She was far to broken. This was utterly killing her inside and he knew for certain a great change would come from this dreadful night. Nothing of goodness he was certain. Leaning his forehead against the wall he gently punched the white plaster and broke along with her. Sobbing like a baby and not giving a care in the world Lucas released everything he had in him. This moment was something he never wished to experience again. And yet the night was still far from over.
