Chapter 9: I'm Gonna Take You For A Ride, And I'll Let You Know..

"What do you feel?" Lucas asked.

"Like," Haley said.

Haley's face all of a sudden got extremely pale, and her eyes started closing. Then Haley fell to the floor, unconscious.


Brooke stood with Haley in the ambulance as Lucas made sure everyone left the reception, explaining what had happened. They had been waiting in the hospital for about 2 hours.

"We need to make calls," Lucas told Brooke.

"Who are we going to call? Taylor?" Brooke asked Lucas.

"Her parents, Jake and Peyton, maybe Nathan, her best friend?" Lucas replied.

"Call her parents, I'll go get Nate," Brooke told Lucas getting up.

"What about Jake and Peyton?" Lucas asked.

"No. They're on their honeymoon. Let them be all honeymoon-ish," Brooke responded, and left to go to her brother's apartment.


Brooke knocked on her brother's door, waiting for him to answer it.

"What happened?" Nathan asked Brooke as he saw her on the other side.

"It's Haley, Nate…" Brooke started.

Nathan rolled his eyes, "Don't start, she's become a drunk and I don't take back anything I said to her, she needs to learn her lesson."

"And what exactly did you tell her, Nate?" Brooke asked.

"That I was tired of looking out for her," Nathan answered.

Brooke put her lips together, and got up, "Well, Nate, Hales is in the hospital right now. She passed out at the reception. So, I guess she learned her lesson."

"What?" Nathan whispered.

"And you listen to me, Nathan Scott. Haley has been through a really rough time right now, so I suggest you get your ass down to the hospital now. You might be a few minutes older then me, but you know I will still kick your ass. Haley is your best friend, and if anyone should be down there, it should be you."


Nathan ran into the hospital, finding Lydia, Jimmy, and Lucas sitting in the waiting room.

"What happened? How is she?" Nathan said coming in.

"We don't know, they haven't told us anything yet," Lydia told Nathan.

Nathan took a seat next to Lucas as the doctors, along with Brooke walked into the waiting room.

"Haley James?" the doctor asked.

"Yes," they all got up and answered.

"Haley has suffered alcohol poisoning. Luckily, you two got her in here just in time. If she were to come in at even 5 minutes later, she breathing might have stopped. She will be fine as soon as she wakes up. Yet, that is what we don't know…when she'll wake up," the doctor finished and walked away.

Everyone was quiet when Dan and Deb Scott walked in.

"Nate? Brooke?" Dan said.

Nathan and Brooke spun around at the sound of their father.

"We're going into see her," Lydia told the kids.

"What happened?" Deb asked.

"She has alcohol poisoning," Brooke answered.

"How are you doing, son?" Dan asked Nathan who seemed quiet.

"It's my fault," Nathan whispered.

"Sure is," Brooke answered.

"What happened?" Deb asked again.

"Brother, dear decided to tell Haley she wasn't his problem anymore and that he was sick of looking out for her," Brooke spat.

"She needs help, Brooke. I'm just trying to help her. I thought maybe, if she realized that I wasn't gonna help her anymore, she'd stop!" Nathan screamed, as Lydia and Jimmy walked back out to find out what the noise was for.

"What? Cause last time wasn't enough, when you two got married!"

Silence fell upon the room.

Deb looked from Lydia and Jimmy to her two children.

"Somebody better start explaining, now," Deb demanded.


After explaining the story to the James and the Scotts, Nathan asked to go see Haley.

"She's up," Lucas told Nathan as he and Brooke returned from seeing Haley.

"Thanks," Nathan replied.

Nathan walked into his best friend's room, sighing at the look of her.

Haley turned her head and smiled sadly at Nathan.

"So, my parents and your parents found out we got married," Nathan told Haley as he sat down on the side of her bed.

Haley widened her eyes and laughed at the thought of the Scotts and James reactions, "They were happy, right?"

"Yeah," Nathan smiled at Haley, "Then I told them about the annulment."

Both laughed at the thought of their parents.

"What are you doing to me, Haley?" Nathan questioned his best friend.

Haley paused before looking up at her best friend, "Do you know when you do something that you just wish you can take back?"

Nathan just watched Haley.

"I've done a lot of that, Nate. And I just…I guess that I thought that drinking would solve all my problems," Haley confessed

"Hales," Nathan said grabbing Haley's hand. "You need to stop. I don't care if I have to stay with you 24 hours 7 days a week, you can't drink anymore."

Haley nodded, "I'm gonna stop. I promise. And I want to meet Monica."

"Okay. You really are scaring me, Hales," Nathan confessed, "Do you know what alcohol poisoning can do to you?"

"I know, Nate. And I'm sorry, okay?" Haley said.

"No, it's not okay, Hales. I never meant it when I said I wasn't gonna look out for you anymore. Just, please…" Nathan trailed off.

"Nate-I'm done okay?" Haley said cutting off Nathan and getting aggravated.

"You bet you are," Nathan said.

Haley looked at her best friend and rolled her eyes.
