As It Comes
Chapter Twelve
The Anger
"What happened," Peyton said impatiently as the doctor did a quick examine. Peyton looked around, Lucas and Brooke were here now and they were all dressed up too. "What is going on, you guys," Peyton said. They all looked at the doctor.
"Peyton, this may be hard to take, but two months ago you were hit by a drunk driver. Do you remember any of that?"
"I remember being at Tim's party and Kady was there and she was mad about me and Nathan and that's about where it ends," Peyton said slowly.
"From what I have been told that's pretty much what happened earlier that night," the doctor said.
"So what do I do?" Peyton said as she played with ends of her hair, "I have been sleeping for two months!" Peyton was starting to get angry. She began to look around the room at her friends. "Where you guys at a dance?"
"Yeah," Brooke said softly. "It's nice to see you."
"Brooke!" Peyton said excitedly, "I haven't seen you in two months." Peyton joked.
"Well I guess I am just going have to catch you up on all of the gossip then," Brooke said with a great smile on her face.
Peyton let her eyes wander the room, her eyes settled on Nathan and Haley. Haley was leaning in towards Nathan and he had his hand on the small of her back. The pair was looking at each with a look in their eyes. "Brooke," Peyton whispered, tapping her friend lightly on the forearm.
"Nate, Hales," Lucas said quickly noticing Peyton's watchful eyes. The separated and looked at Lucas then to Peyton.
"It wasn't a dream," Peyton whispered to herself.
"What wasn't a dream?" Brooke said looking up at Nathan and raising her eyebrow.
"Nathan and Haley kissing in that chair over there," Peyton said pointing to the chair in the corner. It was when she was waking up. She saw them in the chair talking but she couldn't hear them and then they kissed.
"Peyton, we didn't mean for anything to happen but it just did and we didn't know when you would wake up and…" Haley said walking towards Peyton's bed.
"No!" Peyton said beginning to cry lightly, "you are one of my best friends and he was my boyfriend, you can't do this to me."
"Peyton there is no way to explain it," Nathan said grabbing her hand. She pulled it away quickly.
"Leave," Peyton yelled and pointed her hand towards the door, "Both of you."
"Peyton," Haley said.
"Leave," Peyton said giving Haley a look daring her to try to stay.
"Okay," Haley said, "Just so you know, I didn't want to hurt you and we all were told to move on with our lives."
"It doesn't matter to me, please leave."
"See you guys," Nathan said as he and Haley left the room. Nathan and Haley walked quietly to the door and then to their cars.
"Nate, I told you this would happen," Haley said angrily.
"Haley, you know that Peyton and I wouldn't have lasted anyways," Nathan said.
"Still, she is one of my best friends and I betrayed her like no other," Haley said crying.
"Come here," Nathan said pulling her into a hug. They just stood there for a few minutes. "Hales, can we still have us?"
"Not right now," Haley said letting some tears fall from her eyes.
"Okay," Nathan said allowing Haley to have her space.
"My parent's aren't home want to come over for a little, just to hang out," Haley said.
"Sure, but you do realize it is like one in the morning," Nathan said.
"Yeah but after the night we have had I don't know if I can sleep," Haley retorted with a half-smile.
"I'll call my parents and say I am spending the night at a friend's and we can stay up all night talking, okay." Nathan flipped open his cell phone and dialed his own house number.
"Hello," mumbled Dan into the phone.
"Hey, it's Nate. I am going to stay at a friend's tonight."
"Where are you?" Dan said slowly waking from his sleep.
"At the hospital, Peyton woke up."
"Okay, where were you before that?"
"The dance, you know all of this," Nathan said annoyed.
"I remember," Dan said, "be home tomorrow by nine so we can train for a bit."
"Whatever," Nathan said flipping his phone shut. "Let's go, Hales."
"Did you guys know about Haley and Nathan?" Peyton asked.
"They just happened tonight, but they have had a thing lately, but yes we did know," Brooke said.
"Really?" asked Peyton. She was truly surprised that their relationship.
"Peyton, you have to admit even you thought those two would get back together eventually," Lucas said; when the pair had broken up the first time they all had thought they would eventually get back together. It seemed to be in the stars.
"That was before he was my boyfriend."
"Peyton, you were asleep, we didn't know when you would wake up," Lucas said, "you can't be mad at him for moving on when his girlfriend was in a coma, it's not fair."
"So you are going to side with them, thanks a lot," Peyton said angrily, "who are you going to side with Brooke?"
"There is no reason we have to choose sides, we have always had a messed up group, and we have always dated each other, why should it matter now?" Brooke said.
"I can't believe it, you guys are siding with him," Peyton exclaimed. "He started dating another girl while I was in a coma, not just another girl, one of my best friends."
"Peyton, we can't explain it, but did you really expect your relationship to last with Nathan, he is known for his two second relationships," Brooke tried to reason.
"You guys have to leave now too," Peyton demanded, "I can't be around any of you. By the way where is my dad?"
"Out to sea, I guess you are pushing away the only people here for you," Brooke said bitterly.
"Come on, Brooke," Lucas said grabbing her hand, "let's leave her alone."
Peyton lay back on her hospital bed. She was wearing one of those ugly hospital gowns, her hair was a disaster and she had no one. She had pushed everyone away and she was all alone.
