Chapter 11
It was a month later and Brooke had finally persuaded Haley to go out with her...well she threatened her. So there they were...at a club, dancing their way through the crowd. Brooke and Peyton were dancing while Haley sat in the corner, drinking her tenth drink. Brooke and Peyton moved to her and sat across from Haley.
"Tutorgirl...come dance with us!" Brooke said as she took another sip from her drink.
"I don't wants to dansse...I wants to go homess." Haley pouted and Brooke and Peyton shared a look. Haley was clearly wasted.
"Come on Haley...I think it's time we take you home." Peyton said and stood up but Haley fell through the crowd making her way to the dance floor.
"No...I wants to dansse!" Haley yelled as she started dancing wildly with the first person she could find.
After an hour of trying to get Haley out of the club, Brooke and Peyton finally gave up. While Peyton watched Haley closely, Brooke made her way outside and plucked out her cell phone.
"This is Nathan Scott. I'm clearly not available at the moment but leave your name and message and I'll get back to you." echoed Nathan's voice before the beep in Brooke's phone.
"Nathan...I don't know if you're checking your messages but...I need your help. Actually it's Haley...Nate she's in trouble and I don't know what to do. Please help...We're at club Nine30...you know where it is...we came here for fun and she just lost it...and I can't call Luke or Jake 'cause they're busy. Nate...just...if you love Haley as much as you do...then please come...for her and for me." Brooke's voice broke as she started crying...she was helpless.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Thirty minutes later Brooke watched as Haley danced on the table. Peyton had, on order of Brooke, gone home to Jenny. Brooke was losing hope...she didn't know what to do...how to help Haley.
Suddenly Brooke felt two strong hands take her by the shoulders and turn her around. Brooke let out a breath of relief. In front of her stood Nathan with a worried look on his face.
"Nate! You came!" Brooke said in amazement and Nathan gave her a faint smile before his gaze fell on Haley. He quickly mad his way to Haley and picked her up from the table and carried her out of the club, ignoring the shouts of disgust and the evil glares. He made his way to Brooke's car and slowly put, the now sleeping Haley in the car. Nathan gave her a small kiss on the forehead before he turned back to Brooke.
"Thanks...I wasn't sure if you got my message." Brooke said softly.
"Yeah well...listen Brooke...I'm not going to be checking my phone a lot...because I know that there is going to be calls from everyone. I want you to have this number...I'll always answer it. But...just don't tell anyone okay?" Nathan said as he gave her the card and Brooke nodded. Nathan pushed his hands into his pockets and walked away.
"Nathan!" Brooke yelled and Nathan turned his head towards her.
"She loves you enough to wait an eternity for you." Brooke continued and Nathan smiled and left.
The nest morning Haley woke up with a hangover and no memory of the previous night and Nathan's help was kept a secret.
