Help! Ya Know I Need Somebody!

Chapter Six

Pictures Of You

Brooke understood that Haley didn't want to be around any guys right now. "I know Haley I felt the same way."

Haley looked up into Brooke's Hazel eyes, and all she could see was pain and understanding. It was at that moment that she realized that Brooke was familiar with Haley's feelings. Brooke had been raped too.

"I'm going to go talk to Lucas and tell him to go get Peyton. Ok? Ok." She answered herself when Haley nodded. She left Haley on the pavement, and dashed to Lucas' car where he was waiting for them. "Ok broody new plan. I'm going to go over to the hospital with Haley. You are going to go tell Peyton about every thing, have her meet us at the hospital. Lucas, you also need to go tell Nathan." She gave him a kiss on the cheek, and in a flash they were gone.

"Tell them what!" Lucas yelled in an very frustrated tone. All he could do was go to Peyton's as he was told. 'Maybe she knows what's going on.' He thought.

Brooke walked Haley through the mechanical door to the emergency room, and sat her down in one of the waiting chairs.

"I'll be right back." Was all Brooke could muster. She was about to break down herself, she didn't know how long she would be able to stay strong for Haley. Brooke went to the front desk to tell them about the situation that she was in.

"Excuse me, I need to talk to someone." Brooke asked in a meek voice.

"I'll be able to help you. Hi my names Irene." She answered in a cheery voice, as walked around the desk and over to Haley along side Brooke. Irene was a short and stout woman, with fair skin and jet black hair

"My friend over here, um, she was on a date. She, she, she said, she said no." Brooke stuttered as she began to cry.

"Ok, Hi honey, my name is Irene. And you are?"

"Haley, Haley Ja- Scott, my name Haley Scott." She said through her cries.

"All right Haley, we need to get you to the Women's Health Ward.

Lucas walked into Peyton's house, He could here her and Jake talking and laughing in the kitchen with Jenny. Fussing over her like a real family. And for a moment Lucas wondered what Jenny would call Peyton when she could talk, mom, Aunt Peyton, or just Peyton? Then he snapped back to reality.

"Peyton! Pey!" He yelled the sound echoed through the house.

"Were in the kitchen!" Peyton yelled back, she had a giggle in her voice. Lucas knew how happy she was now that Jake was back. He felt almost guilty for ruining their night, ruining their happiness. Lucas walked in to the kitchen to find Peyton sitting on the counter with Jenny in her lap. Jake was under the sink, trying to fix something, although from what he gathered he wasn't doing well because Peyton was almost falling over with laughter.

"Peyton its Haley." Her face dropped and turned stark white.

"What? Tell me exactly what happened. Now Scott!" She screamed when her hesitated.

"I wanted to talk to her, tell her about Nathan and how much he loved her. So I had Brooke call her to tell her she needed to come home. We were waiting there for her, we were worried about her cause she never picked up the phone. We heard the car door slam and a car speed off. Haley was sitting on the ground crying." Lucas said in a shaky voice, he still didn't know what was happening though. He looked down at Jake who was now looking up at him,

"Oh god, oh god! Damn, that basted! Where are they are they? The apartment? The Hospital?" She yelled as she go her keys and black leather jacket.

"There at the hospital, but Peyton?" He asked still with a shaky voice. About to cry, Haley was his best friend, like his sister. He didn't know what he would do if something happened to her.

"She said no, and he didn't stop." She said now crying herself. "Jake, Luke go talk to Nathan. There's really no use in you running to the hospital, she's not going to be around any guys, Brooke didn't." She said as she walked out the door, Peyton didn't think that they heard her but she was wrong.

A hundred things were going through Lucas's mind. Then Jake punching him in the arm brought him back from his thoughts.

"C'mon man, we gotta go." On the way to Nathan's house no one spoke, the silence was almost constricting. They both knew the other was trying to think up ways to tell Nathan, both wondering if he would be sober enough to care. Both wondering if he cared at all.

Peyton got to the hospital and ran to the main desk as fast as her Chuck Taylor clad feet would let her. She finally made it to the desk after what felt like a century. "Hi, my friend Haley James was brought in here a little while ago. Could tell me were to go to see her, wait for her?" She asked desperate and out of breath. The small sized women directed her to Haley's room; she got up there to see what looked like Haley holding on to Brooke for dear life. So Peyton did the only thing that she knew to do. She didn't speak, didn't ask, and just went. She crawled into bed with them, and held on to Haley. Peyton knew that for a while it was just going to be them, those three girls.

Lucas and Jake were sitting in the car in front of Nathan's house. They parked there about twenty minutes ago and were still in total and complete silence. Especially since there was a one and a half year old in the car. Just then Nathan walked out of the house, a very angry Nathan. Jake turned to Lucas and told him the same thing that he was thinking.

"I guess it's now or never." Both could see the worry and fear in each other's eyes.

"What the hell are you guys doing? You have been sitting out here for hours!" Nathan said loudly. The guys did the only thing they could, they were like robots, they didn't talk just move. Nathan knew something was wrong, he could tell by the way his brother was acting.

"Nathan is you mom home?" Jake asked, so that he could be with Nathan and Luke and not have to worry about Jenny.

"Um, yea dude. She's in the living room." But before her could say anything else, he was cut off by Lucas.

"We'll wait for you here Jake." Lucas said. 'there is no way in hell I'm doing this alone." He thought. In a few minutes and after some convincing Deb was watching Jenny and the three guys were on their way to Nathan's room. Nathan first and Jake and Lucas strangling behind, just then Lucas put his fist out.

"Best out of three." He whispered.

"Luke do you realize that your asking me to play rock paper scissors with you to see who tells him his wife was raped?" Jake asked obviously not agreeing with Lucas' form of settlement. They were now in Nathan's room, and Jake was going to be the one breaking the bad news to Nathan, but he didn't know how to go about it. How do you tell someone that?

"Nathan you might want to sit down. Lucas and I, we need to tell you something." It only took Nathan a second co cut him off with a nasty comeback.

"What happened to the whore now?" He yelled in a frustrated tone as he flopped on the bed stomach up. But something in Lucas snapped, he jumped on top of his brother and punched him twice square in the jaw each time. "What the fuck was that for?" Nathan questioned again, this time yelling even louder than before.

"Because that 'whore' is my best friend, and your wife if I remember correctly." He want to get off of Nathan but then lowered his head down to his ear and added in a soft whisper- "oh and also because your wife was raped."
