Chapter 4: What's wrong?

After two hours of waiting for Peyton to return Brooke went up to the nurse's station.

"Is there anyway I could go visit Haley James?"

"It says there's only supposed to be one visitor at a time," She saw Brooke glaring at her. "…but since you two are so close to the patient I don't see why not." Brooke smiled.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

Brooke had memorized the way to Haley's room, and begun walking down the hallway towards the elevator before the nurse even came from behind the desk to escort her. They both stopped dead in their tracks when they saw Peyton. Between the tears running down her face and the blank stare on her face they knew something was wrong.

"Peyton, what happened? Is Haley okay? Please tell me she's okay!" Brooke began to cry and the nurse returned to her desk.

"I don't know Brooke. I honestly don't know." Peyton started bawling and grabbed onto Brooke. After a few minutes they both fell to the ground from being too weak to stand up any longer.

"Hey Billy, how's it goin?"

"It's goin." Nathan smiled at him and the man immediately knew he wanted something. "Whatdya need?"

"I guess a fast car that will get me away from here."

"Gimme two hours. You can wait in the house."

"Thanks."

"No problem." He walked over to a closet and opened the door.

"Hey, wasn't that the guy that stabbed that girl." His son recognized him from the news.

"Yea it was. Now grab my pistol. We gonna make ourselves a little citizen's arrest." He walked to the door that connected the garage to the house and opened it. He found Nathan in the living room watching cartoons.

"Hey there… Killa'"

Dan and Lucas walked through the emergency room doors.

"Hey Karen, how's Haley doing? Is she okay?"

"The last we heard she was stable, but that…." She stopped when she saw Brooke and Peyton enter the room.

"Brooke…Peyton?"

"We don't know if she's okay! We don't know how she's doing! We don't even know if she's alive." Brooke walked over to Lucas while Peyton latched onto Karen.

"I'm sure she'll be fine Brooke."

"Don't say what you don't know." With that Brooke walked over to the doctor she knew to be Haley's.

"How is she?"

"She's still in the OR," He looked around nervously. "Let me give it to you strait..."

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't expect you too."

"They were using a cauterizing tool to stop some bleeding and she actually…caught fire."

"WHAT?" Everyone who heard stared at him is disbelief.

"N-Now it's very rare, but it does happen. The bleeding hasn't stopped and I actually came out here to ask if I could get a few donations…we're out of her blood type."

"What type do you need?" About eight people asked at the same time.

"A-B negative."

Tim spoke up. "I'm A-B negative."

"Good. Come with me." Tim followed the doctor.

Karen walked up behind Brooke and put her arm over her shoulder.

"I can't believe this is happening. Tim has the ability to save her life and I don't even have the ability to help her."

"Brooke, what did you tell Haley when you were in the hospital room?"

"Something that makes me desperately want to go back in timeand tell her the truth." Brooke walked over to Lucas and sat down beside him.

"Lucas, I'm sorry… for everything I've put you through."

"Don't worry we'll be fine."

"No we won't be fine Lucas. I don't love you anymore Lucas. It has to end."

"Why?" Lucas started rubbing his head.

"Did you not hear me? I don't love you!"

"So, that doesn't mean we can't still be friends...with benefits of course." Lucas smiled.

"You are such a jackass."

Dan waked over to Peyton. "When are Scarlet, Taylor, and your mom getting here?

"I don't know. I haven't heard from them in a while."

"I'm sure they're fine."

"I'm not worried about whether they're fine wherever they are…I'm worried about how they'll be when the get here."

"I know but you have to be strong for Haley. I mean, Brooke looks like her heart has already shattered, and so does Lucas."

"We all have to be strong for her." Peyton looked around the room and realized just how many people were there. "I didn't realize there were so many people here."

"They're all praying for her…" Brooke heard what Dan said and walked over to him and Peyton.

"If there was a god worth praying to Haley wouldn't even be here! Fuck Him! He obviously doesn't give a damn!" She said it with a voice and a look that conveyed pure hatred for the situation. The look never once left her face…at least not until Karen dragged her out of the hospital.

"Brooke, you need to watch what you say! You're making it worse!"

"I don't care! For the last few hours, in a room full of people, I have never felt so alone! Whether I'm sitting beside Lucas and Peyton or some stranger, I feel as if I am stranded on some deserted island with no way back!" Brooke's voice started to crack. "…and it is the worst feeling in the world." Karen looked at her with a pair of sad eyes as she grabbed Brooke's hands in her own.

"With no way back to what Brooke?"

"Love. Peace. Everything that makes a person complete."

"Okay…now I want you to sum it up all into one word." Brooke started crying.

"Haley." Brooke sobbed into Karen's shoulder, but suddenly stopped after a few minutes when she had a strange feeling…

"Something's wrong. Something's wrong." Brooke and Karen both ran into the hospital and back to the nurse's station. Brooke grabbed the nurse by the collar. "Where is Haley right now?" The nurse looked at her with a blank expression. "I said where is she?"

"Take the elevator that you took to Haley's old room, but get off at the next floor. The hallway on your left; I don't know which one." Brooke and Karen took off towards the elevator and Peyton followed.

"Brooke, what's wrong?"

"I don't know Peyton, but I think something has gone…terribly wrong with Haley."

"What? Why?"

"It's just a feeling." The elevator stopped and they all got off. Brooke heard yelling coming from one of the rooms and ran towards it. What she saw took her to her knees. Peyton just started bawling and Karen held Brooke while they both cried. The nurses and doctors filed out of the room. Dr. Burke was the only one to speak.

"I'm sorry. She's gone."

Peyton was one sister down and Brooke was one true-love short.
