"Brooke where's Haley?" Lucas asked as the Raven's congregated in the gym before retreating to the change room showers.
"She went to the bathroom." Brooke answered as Peyton and Bevin stood beside her.
"That was awhile ago." Bevin spoke up.
"Well she wasn't feeling well when we left the apartment." Brooke shrugged.
"Haley?" Nathan exclaimed as Haley entered the gym. Her uniform was crooked, her hair was a mess and her face was tear stained as she continued to sob and showed difficulty walking.
Haley tried to say something but this only led to her crumbling to the floor. Or she would have made it to the floor if Nathan hadn't cradled her in his arms and carried her out the doors of the gym and away from the crowds.
"Haley what happened?" Nathan asked as he placed her on the ground, only to have them both to sink to the floor. Haley said nothing but let out another heart wrenching sob as she clung to Nathan. They continued to sit on the floor as Nathan rubbed her back comfortingly and Haley's cried slowly subsided, but this was only because she was slowly crying herself to sleep.
"Hales?" Nathan whispered when Haley's breathing began to regulate and her body had stopped shaking. Confident that she was asleep Nathan again picked her up in his arms and carried her into the school's foyer where Brooke was pacing frantically.
"What the hell?" Brooke shouted before noticing that Haley was asleep on his arms.
"Brooke, can I take your car?"
"What? Why?"
"Cause I don't know what happened and I'm starting to freak out and I want to get her home." Nathan rambled.
"Nathan! I'll drive, you can sit in the back with her." Brooke compromised.
"Yea, uh okay. Let's go."
The three arrived at the apartment and Nathan carried Haley to her bed. Placing her gently under her blankets before pulling them over her body.
"Nathan what happened?" Brooke asked quietly as she watched how caringly Nathan had been with her roommate.
"I don't know. She came into the gym looking a mess and before she could collapse I brought her away from attention and she cried herself to sleep." Nathan explained as he and Brooke sat on the floor, resting against Haley's bed.
"I don't get it. She went to the bathroom like 5 minutes before the game ended and never came back… But I'll let you take care of her, I'm gonna head over to Peyton's. Call if you need us." Brooke told him softly, resting her head comfortingly on his shoulder before retreating out of the apartment.
