Thanks for all the reviews I love getting them. I will try to update sooner but I can't make any promises with school. The more reviews I get may convince me to make time to update.
It has been two days since the accident and Haley was finally being released from the hospital. True to their word the whole gang came to visit the day before, now Haley sat with Nathan in her room waiting for the doctor to release her. The couple jumped in surprise as the door flew open reveling the doctor studying a chart.
"Okay, Mrs. Scott you are free to go, but you will need to return next week to get the stitches removed. While you are here we will also check on that leg of yours to make sure it is healing properly and possibly put on a walking cast," he doctor in formed her.
"Sam here will wheel you out to the car in a wheelchair, hospital policy," he quickly replied after seeing the look Haley was giving him. "Here is a prescription for the pain and some crutches to help you get around. I will see you next week," he replied walking out of the room.
Nathan went to bring the car to the front as the nurse pushed Haley to the front of the building. Once she was placed in the car Nathan began the drive back to their apartment. The ride was a silent one with Nathan looking over to check on his wife every few minutes. Nathan pulled to the front of the apartment building and looked over at Haley to see she was still off in her own world.
"Hales we're home," Nathan called to his wife while placing his hand on her arm.
Haley seemed to come out of her trance and look around at her surroundings. Nathan got out of the car and walked over to Haley's side of the car from the backseat he pulled out the crutches, then opened her door helping her out of the car. It took her a minute to steady herself as Nathan grabbed the bag out of the car. Slowly they began the walk to the apartment.
"Damn crutches," Haley grumbled as she almost fell. Nathan looked on concerned as he saw his wife almost fall.
"Obvious they don't know me, or they would not have given me crutches if they knew how clumsily I am," Haley told him with a smile.
Nathan chuckled as he opened the door to their apartment to find Brooke, Lucas, Payton, and Jake cleaning.
"Welcome home," Brooke called as she saw Nathan and Haley at the door. Haley hobbled over the to the couch and sat down and watched as the gang cleaned their apartment.
"What are you guys doing here?" Nathan asked his friends wondering how they got in.
"We knew what a pig sty this places was and thought it would be nice to have it nice and clean for when Haley came home. We got the spare key from hiding spot," Peyton explained to him as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"How are you doing tutor girl," Brooke asked sitting next to her on the couch.
"I'm doing all right," Haley replied leaning back into the couch.
"Guess it is a good thing school is still a few weeks away, right buddy, that way you will be pretty much healed for when we start," Lucas joined the conversation while plopping down on the floor in front of the couch.
"I didn't even think of that," Haley told them groaning at the thought.
"Did someone get that on tape?" Brooke questioned as everyone turned to look at her funny. At there weird looks she exclaimed, "What tutor girl admitted that she didn't think of something that has got to be a first."
With that everyone cracked up even Haley. Once the laughing had died down Haley looked over at Nathan and said, "I better have that walking cast on by the time we start school, I don't think I can handle hobbling around on these things."
"They better have you off those things otherwise you will putting everyone else in danger, you are clumsy enough on your own two feet I would hate to see you on those things." Luke laughed ducking as he dodged the pillow Haley had thrown at him.
"I'm not that bad," Haley argued.
"Really, what about the time you were not watching where you were walking and walked right into a open locker, and almost knocked yourself out. Or there was the time you tripped over your own feet in the hallway and sent your books flying everywhere which caused that poor freshmen Jenna something to fall?" Lucas laughed trying to prove his point, "Or what about…."
He was caught off by Haley laughing, "Ok, Luke I get it I am clumsy and I put everyone else at risk, But we do not need to relive anymore of my embarrassing stories."
The rest of the group was laughing at the stories of Haley falling. Brooke was laughing so hard she was crying, and Jake was almost rolling on the floor.
"How about we order us a couple of pizzas and get some movies and you guys can keep Haley and me company for a bit," Nathan suggested.
They all quickly agreed and ordered pizza and popped in the Notebook while snuggling with there partner for the night.
