Chapter 4

Haley decided to head down Riverside court, when she arrive Haley saw Nathan already there shooting baskets. Haley wasn't surprised Nathan always played basketball when he had something on his mind. Nathan questioned, "What are you doing here?"

Haley answered, "Thought I would play a little B-ball." Taking the ball and trying to make a shot.

Nathan smiled and responded, "I see you still can't play and I know you're not a true basketball fan if you are referring it to B-ball." Haley was like not funny. "So you got plans tonight?"

Haley answered, "Actually I do how about lunch?" Nathan nodded yes so they went down get a bite of pizza.

Once they arrived there Nathan said, "So tell me about Europe."

Haley replied, "It's beautiful and the people are wonderful. I miss it so much all I want to do is go back."

Nathan smiled and stated, "You will you always return to the things you love." Haley looked up at him "Who knows maybe next time you I might tag along."

Haley started to blush and spoke, "Yeah that would be nice." Haley and Nathan held each other's gaze for the longest second of Haley's life. Haley peered out the window and saw… "Unbelievable!"

Nathan puzzled, "What?"

Haley got up and stated, "I'll be right back." Haley walked outside to this black SUV "Kim and Tony I can't believe you are still around! Can't you just leave me alone?" Haley went to turn around to go back inside the restaurant when she saw Collin. "No! I made it clear for you to stay away."

Nathan noticed Haley seemed really distressed. It wasn't like Haley to make a scene in the middle of town or anywhere for a matter of fact. Tony and Kim got out of the car. Tony spoke, "Haley there is no reason to cause a scene."

Haley exclaimed, "Yes there is I told you to stop following! Just go away." Haley couldn't handle anymore she walked back into the restaurant. Collin went to follow Haley, but Nathan stopped him.

Nathan stated, "I don't know who you are or what you want with Haley, but I do know she doesn't want you around she made that pretty clear, and in case it wasn't clear enough for you let me make it clear stay the hell away from Haley!" Nathan held a heavy gaze upon Collin then back to Tony. Nathan turned and walked back inside. Nathan came over to me and looked confused.

Haley spoke, "Please don't ask just take me back to my house." Nathan nodded it killed him to see his Hales really upset with nothing he can do about it. So Nathan dropped me off and I walked inside.

Ryan could tell Haley was pissed off he knew that look all too well with playing so many pranks on the tour. Ryan smirk thinking about them, but regained his focus and questioned, "What's wrong?"

Haley announced, "I have a date with Lucas."

Ashlee asked, "Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Haley answered, "It would be if I wasn't being followed around by agents. How am I suppose to explain the gain of agents tailing us on our date."

Tyler questioned, "So what are you going to do?"

Taylor smirked, "We're going to mess with their heads." Haley looked at Taylor to see her wheels in her head turning. Haley finally caught on and smiled right along with Taylor.

Meanwhile Nathan went back to his house and saw Lucas getting ready. Nathan asked, "Well what are you all dressed up for?"

Lucas answered, "Got a date."

Nathan questioned, "Its not Peyton is it?"

Lucas responded, "No and by the way we're not talking."

Nathan puzzled, "You're not?"

Lucas replied, "No way not after what she did to you. You're my brother; Nate blood is thicker than water."

Nathan couldn't believe Lucas had just said that Peyton and Lucas were linked together by the hip and now Lucas would take his side over Peyton's side. Nathan questioned, "Did you ever think we would be like this."

Lucas remarked, "No way had I always thought I would be getting ready in my house for a date but you have better hair products." Nathan shot him a look like I was being serious. Nathan shoved Lucas. "Hey watch the hair buddy" Lucas paused "No I never thought you and I would be this close." Nathan nodded and turned to walk way.

Back at Jake's house Jake questioned, "How about eating out for dinner?"

Haley answered, "Okay but I get to pick Karen's café" Jake nodded in agreement.

Taylor walked outside in a baggy sweatshirt and a hat on her head and got into the cab. Kim stated, "Haley up to her old tricks again. Trying to put on layers of clothing thinking we won't think it's her alright boys follow that cab."

Haley peered out the window and smiled as they caught the bait and followed Taylor. Haley went to the Café and saw Lucas Haley smirked, "Damn Scott you look sharp."

Lucas smiled and remarked, "You don't look to shabby yourself James. So I figured we could go get some coffee and just talk." Haley smiled and nodded

About ten minutes after they left Taylor arrived at the Café. Karen spoke, "Hey Taylor." Kim, Tony, and Collin stayed outside positioned in the cars. Taylor saw Peyton and Jake come in.

Taylor said, "Peyton Jake hi."

Peyton spoke, "Taylor hi it's great to see you. Please join us."

A couple hours later Lucas and Haley were walking back towards the café. Haley asked, "okay it is my turn Rudolph or Frosty?

Lucas remarked, "Rudolph by a nose." Haley slightly laughed "Okay one last one Tree Hill or Europe?"

Haley answered, "No fair, but if I have to choose it is Tree Hill because it is the only place that I have both Nathan and Lucas Scott. Well hey I am gonna head home I'm still a little jet lag.

Lucas replied, "I can drive you."

Haley spoke, "Its okay I will walk. I had a great time bye Lucas" Lucas hopped in his jeep and left.

Taylor went to get a refill just as Nathan walked into the café Nathan said, "Hey Taylor."

Taylor spoke, "Hey Scott."

Just then Lucas walked in and questioned, "Hey people is this where the party is being held?"

Peyton got up to see what was taking Taylor so long to get a refill and was shocked to see Lucas and Nathan. Lucas looked up and stated, "Get out!"

Jake got up and responded, "Calm down Lucas."

Peyton replied, "We have a right to be here."

Nathan snapped, "This isn't a place that allows backstabbing sluts!"

Peyton felt as if she had been slapped never did she thought Nathan would call her that. Jake remarked, "Now just hold on a minute that is uncalled for Scott!"

Lucas yelled, "Shut up Jake." Nathan and Lucas went back walked back into the kitchen to take a breather before a fight broke out.

Jake notice Peyton breathing heavily, Jake asked, "Peyton you okay?" Peyton felt dizzy and sick the world around her started spinning and her vision went blurry and then she collapsed to the floor. "Peyton"

Taylor screamed, "Peyton!"

Lucas and Nathan ran to the front and saw Peyton lying on the floor. Both Scott boys fell to the floor right next to Jake. Nathan whispered, "Peyton come on pey wake up." Jake called 911 while Kim, Tony, and Collin ran inside. Taylor lowered her head so her face couldn't be seen. Nathan saw them and his blood started boiling "What are you doing here? I guess I didn't make it clear enough earlier."

Lucas looked confused who were these guys and why did it make Nathan so upset? The ambulance came and took Peyton and Jake to the hospital. Lucas said, "I am going down there."

Nathan spoke "Me too but we should call Hales."

Collin shot a look at what Nathan just said and then looked over at Taylor. "Call your sister Taylor tell her to meet us there." Lucas said.

Tony questioned, "Taylor?" Taylor looked him in the eye "Damn it Taylor you did it again do you not know how dangerous this is?"

Nathan asked, "What are you talking about?"

Kim explained, "Haley witness a very serious crime in London while protecting the Queen. The guy that committed the crime is in jail but that doesn't mean he still doesn't have thugs out there. Especially since Haley has been recieveing threats on her life. Tony, Collin, and I were asked to protect Haley until we catch whoever is threatening her, and find out if they're connected to what had happen in London. But no one seems to get the concept of this serious situation."

Taylor got off her cell phone and said, "Haley's not there."

Lucas spoke, "I left Haley about twenty minutes ago she should have been home by now."

Tony said, "We'll get a team all over town." Nathan, Lucas, and Taylor went quite sure what to do. "Go ahead to the hospital we'll call if we find out anything."

Meanwhile Haley decided to take the long way home through the park. Haley used to walk through Hill Park every night when she first moved here. Haley started to hear noised, but shrugged it off until she heard footsteps. Haley turned around but saw no one she picked up her pace and then heard a branch snap and paused. Haley shouldn't have stopped because as soon as she did her world went black….
