Chapter 2: She Saw It Happen

"Lucas, what is your problem?" I can't believe he's acting so childish.

"My problem is that my girlfriend, or whatever she's supposed to be, just told a total stranger that she was Haley's girlfriend." He said it with a hint of disgust.

"You have to be the only guy I know that doesn't think that would be hot." Is he really that grossed out by the idea of two girls together?

"Whatever. I mean…it's just that she doesn't even really know Hales." He took a deep breath. "I just don't understand what made her say that."

"Damn you're insecure."

"Whatever…. Anna, I'm gonna go and see if it's okay to see Hales."

"Alright….Hey do you know where Peyton is?"

"She should be here any minute."

Lucas had just walked into the waiting room when….

"Brooke Davis?" A nurse entered the room searching the crowd of people.

"I'm right here." Brooke shot up out of her seat. Her tear stained cheeks shocked just about everyone there…except for one person at least.

"Come with me please." Brooke followed the nurse down the hallway and into the elevator. "We don't usually do this but she really wanted to see you."

"Thank God. Is she okay?" Brooke looked relieved…yet worried.

The older woman hesitated. "She's…stable. She lost a lot of blood and she's a little weak. She's very tough."

The elevator came to a stop and they started walking down the hallway. "She was afraid that you wouldn't be here." The nurse smiled. "She said you would be too impatient to wait…" She checked her watch. "Seven and a half hours. And that if you weren't already trying to burst down the doors, you were probably hatching some elaborate plane to break into the hospital records to find out what room she was in."

That had to be the first time I've smiled since this happened.

"Well here we are." The nurse opened the door and motioned for Brooke to walk in. "I'll be back later."

"Oh My God…. Peyton are you okay?" Anna ran up to her as soon as she saw the girl.

"I'm fine." She started crying; you could tell it hadn't been the first time that night.

"Come here." Anna pulled her into a tight embrace. "It'll be okay." She pulled away even though everyone could tell she didn't want to. "Brooke just went in to see her."

"So she's okay?" She looked to everyone in the room.

Karen stood up and walked over to her. "I'm sure she is." She flashed her motherly smile.

"Can I go see her?"

Anna spoke up, "I don't think so. The nurse came out and specifically asked for Brooke. Haley probably asked for her." She wrapped an arm around Peyton's waist. "We'll just have to wait and see."

"Tim…I can't believe she said that."

"Dude…she wanted to ride in the ambulance. She had to top best friend with something…and everyone knows that Brooke Davis is an only child."

"All I'm saying is she could have just let me go."

"Believe me…she couldn't have left Haley even if she wanted to."

"What do you mean?"

Tim got a very serious look in his eyes.

"She saw it happen. She held her in her arms." He looked Lucas dead in his eyes. "The nurses took Brooke back to the employee showers because she was covered in her blood….And I don't know if you've noticed, but Brooke does care for Haley….She wouldn't just abandon her to be with the brother of the person who stabbed her."

"WHAT!" Lucas rose up from his seat. "NATHAN DID WHAT TO HALEY!"

"Look, I'm sorry. I-I thought you knew."

"If I had already known Nathan would be here too." And with those last words Lucas ran out of the hospital.

How could he do that? How could he do that to Hales?

Brooke stepped into the room. After noticing the girl was asleep she decided to wait it out. Haley needed her rest.

After about an hour Haley began to stir. "Brooke…is that you?" She couldn't quite focus because of the dried tears that had built up in the corners of her eyes. She wiped at her eyes to get rid of it.

"Yea…it's me Hales." Brooke grabbed her hand and smiled at Haley to let her know she was happy that she wanted her there. "And just so you know…I never left the hospital." She looked down at the scrubs she was wearing. "As I'm sure you can tell."

"Thanks for being here…even if you weren't with me the whole time." Brooke just smiled at her.

Haley looked down before she started speaking again. "Brooke...how much did you hear?"

She sighed. "Enough."

Haley smiled a sarcastic smile. "Great…just what I needed."

"Haley, it's okay."

"What?" She looked confused.

"I mean…I'm not like freaked out by it."

"Did you hear the whole thing or just fragments?" Haley wanted to know how much the cheerleader had really heard.

"The entire second half," She smiled at her. "Tim said I heard most of the important things."

"Tim heard too?"

"Yea but it's okay…he won't say a word."

"So now that you know…."

"Now that I know... I have a lot of thinking to do"

"Well at least you didn't just shun me completely."

"Whatever conclusion I come to…promise me we'll always be friends?"

"Promise."

……

"I'm sleepy."

"Well…I don't see anywhere you could sleep." Haley looked back to Brooke. "You can go home. I'll be fine."

"No…I see somewhere I could sleep." She looked at the tutor. "Scoochums."

After Brooke settled in she started talking again. "This isn't like wearing you out is it?"

"Only emotionally."

"If you want me to get up I can."

"That's just it Brooke. I don't want you to get up. Hell I would be happy as can be if I was here with you, like this, for the rest of my life. You don't have to move. I don't want you to move….Just please stop breathing on my neck like that." Brooke let out a giggle.

"Sorry."

She kissed Haley on the cheek and went to sleep.
