Flushing the toilet, Haley sighed deeply as she shivered and opened the faucet to wash her face. She looked at the mirror and saw her messy hair and puffy eyes. The night had been long and she barely had any good quality sleep. Scratching her arm she dragged herself back to the bedroom but found it empty. Walking in the kitchen she saw Nathan by the stove very much into the cooking which she found amusing.

"What are you doing?" she asked stopping next to him and leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Pancakes" he said showing her and then nodded towards the table, "And the scrambled eggs are done just like you like it."

As much as the pancakes seemed tempting to her, the simple glance at the scrambled eggs made her stomach turn upside down inside of her. She put one hand over her mouth and nose not to feel the smell of them.

"Are you ok?" Nathan asked noticing her stepping back.

"Yeah" she nodded, "I guess I ate something bad last night."

"At the dinner party? I told you not to eat those crabs, they weren't looking very good."

"We were at the Carl's Crab Shack, what else was I supposed to eat?" she complained taking a sit by the couch at the living room.

Nathan finished the pancakes and put them on a plate on the table, next to the eggs and walked after his wife.

"I told you I didn't wanna go anyway" he took a sit next to her and sighed, "I'm telling you I was sensing it."

She chuckled and gave a half smile, "It was Lucas' birthday. We couldn't miss that."

"Yeah, if you say so" he stared at her for a moment and glanced at the table, "Aren't you eating?"

She shook her head, "Thanks. I'll pass. I have to go get changed."

"Where are you going?"

"Practice. You know, the championship's coming and Brooke's turned into the cheer nazi again, so she scheduled an extra practice for today after lunch. And since we overslept..."

"But today's Sunday!"

"I know, but" she said getting up, "What can I do?" smiling, she kissed him on the forehead, "I'm gonna take a shower."

Watching her leave the room, Nathan leaned on the couch and yelled towards the hallway, "Wait for me!"

"I have to be quick!" she yelled back entering the bedroom to pick up a towel.

He smirked and as she walked to the bathroom he shouted again, "I can do that!"

"Shut up!" she shut the door behind her.

After Nathan dropped her in front of the school, Haley rushed her way to the basketball court where the cheerleading practice would take place. As she got closer, holding her pompons on her hands, she could hear Brooke's voice, yelling at some girl.

"I told you to take a step back!"

"But there's gonna be this huge space between me and Bevin for nothing?"

"How dumb or blind are you! We're one girl short. Do the math!" she snapped and turned around in time to see Haley sneaking in,

"About freaking time, Tutor Girl! Where were you?"

"Uh... home?" she said a little unsure and glancing around to see everyone was already there.

"Well, you are, now, late!" Brooke said putting both hands on her hips and walking to Haley, which made her a little nervous.

"But you said right after lunch! I'm not that late."

"I said 'brunch'!"

"Who takes brunch on a Sunday?"

"I do!" she said putting one hand over her chest and then pointing around, "And you all should too when we're just a few days away from the championship!"

Rolling her eyes, Peyton walked to Brooke and put one hand on her shoulder to make her stop for a moment, "Alright, Brooke. We got your point. Let's just go back to the dance" she glanced at Haley who nodded and mouthed a 'thank you'.

"Okay!" Brooke shouted clapping her hands together, "Let's try once without the pompons cause they're seeming to get on the way of your brain functions lately."

They all went next to the benches and put their pompons there. Haley did the same and got down to put her pompons on the floor, but once she got back up she felt the room spin around her and took one step back, losing her balance a little.

Peyton put one hand on her back to support her, "Are you ok?"

"Yeah" she said getting herself together again, "It's just... head rush."

Seeing how the girls weren't coming back from the benches, Brooke marched there somewhat without patience.

"What's this? What's going on?" she asked glancing around.

"Nothing" Haley shook her head with one hand over her stomach, "I think I ate something bad last night and I'm not feeling very well."

"You think it's food poison?" Peyton asked serious.

Brooke scoffed, "After working there and seeing how that place works on the inside, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

"You guys, I'm sure it's nothing..." Haley said going back to where they were, but Peyton followed her around.

"But it could be something. Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

"What? No! C'mon, it's nothing. Okay? Let's rehearsal" she turned to Brooke, "Right?"

"Yes!" Brooke said hyper, "Let's go, bitches!"

They all went back to their positions and Brooke pressed the button to play the music. She wasn't dancing, she was just standing in front of them, making sure they were doing it right. Every now and then she would walk to one of the girls and bitch about something and then go back to her front position. Just when they were about to finish the first set of the routine, the girls spun around at the same time, but by doing this Haley lost her balance when everything around her spun on a faster rhythm making her fell down on the floor. Standing right behind her, Peyton saw when she fell and ran to her.

"Haley!"

Brooke stopped the music and rushed next to the girls, "Are you ok?"

With a painful look on her face, Haley nodded, "Yeah I'm fine."

"You don't look so good", Rachel said standing next to Peyton and making a face.

Peyton shook her head trying to ignore her, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah, totally" Haley said while trying to stand up but the pain on her ankle made her fall on her butt again, "Ouch!" she rubbed her ankle, "Ok maybe not."

"You twisted your ankle" Brooke said sighing and thinking, Great!.

"C'mon" Peyton put one of Haley's arm around her neck, "Help me get her up."

"Ok, I got her" Brooke did the same with the other arm and together they helped Haley to get up on her feet and walked her to the nearest bench.

Peyton took her cell phone from her bag and started to dial, "We gotta take you to the hospital."

"Who're you calling?" Haley asked putting her foot up on the bench.

"Nathan, so he can meet us there."

"Oh, you don't have to worry him with..." Haley was going to finish but Peyton waved for her to stop talking.

"Hey, Nathan. It's Peyton. Listen, uh, Haley fell during practice and kinda twisted her ankle so we're taking her to the hospital. Yeah. Ok, so we'll be there in 5 minutes. Alright, bye." She hung up and look at both Haley and Brooke, "He'll meet us there. Shall we?"

Leaning on both girls, Haley stood up and they walked off to Peyton's car.

Sitting on the hospital's stretcher Haley had her arms crossed and was shaking one of her legs, the one who hadn't the twisted ankle. She sighed bored and glanced at Brooke and Peyton who were standing next to her, just as bored.

"This is taking forever..."

"Yeah" Brooke said walking towards the door, "Are we waiting for the doctor to graduate to come and see her or what? I have other things to do!"

"It's Sunday, there're probably less doctors working on today's shift. We just have to wait a little longer" Peyton said shrugging.

Just as she finished saying that the door was opened and the doctor walked in. He was quite young and not bad looking either, which made Brooke suddenly change her mood. As he saw the girls he gave a warm smile and walked towards Haley on the stretcher.

"Hi, ladies, I'm Dr. Barnett" he stopped next to Haley while reading off the chart on his hands, "I'm guessing you're Mrs... Miss Scott?"

"It's Mrs." She said grinning.

"Really?" he glanced at her cheerleader outfit, "So you're either the oldest and yet more conserved cheerleader ever or you're in high school?"

"The last one."

He tilted his head to the side while reading his chart again, "Okay... so. What did you do to that ankle of yours?"

"I fell during a twist" she said staring at her own ankle.

"Practicing?" he asked already nodding. She nodded too and Brooke stepped in.

"You know, just for the record, she's the only one married" she grinned widely, "Or taken in any way for what it matters."

Peyton pulled her by the arm and forced a laugh, "I think we'll wait outside if that's ok."

The doctor nodded again, "Sure."

Haley put one hand on her face and shook her head to Brooke as she left with Peyton.

Entering the waiting room, Brooke was winning while Peyton rolled her eyes walking behind her.

"That was very rude of you, Peyton! I was having a conversation."

"You were flirting with the doctor! I thought you were with Lucas" she said eyeing her friend.

"And I am!" Brooke took a sit and crossed her legs, "But that doesn't mean I can't do some innocent flirting every now and then."

"You were heavily throwing yourself at him!"

Brooke rolled her eyes, "Whatever."

After the brief discussion between them, Nathan arrived and walked towards the balcony but once he glanced around he saw the girls and went to them.

"How's Haley?"

"She's with the doctor" Peyton said pointing to inside.

"And I'd be right there with them if I were you" Brooke said sounding innocent, "And Peyton can't say I was the only one who felt the tension in the air."

"Oh my God..." Peyton looked at her with a disgusted look.

"What?" Nathan sounded confused.

Peyton stood up and waited for Brooke to do the same, "I think it's ok for you to go in. Just ask to one of the nurses or something. And if you don't need us anymore, we're going. Ok?"

He nodded, "Yeah sure. Thanks for bringing her."

"Not to mention" Peyton smiled and give her hand to Brooke to hold, "C'mon, friend."

"Take my advice, Nate" Brooke patted him on the back and grabbed Peyton's hand, "Sure, friend!"
