Chapter 3! Playing We Remember!
The three girls stayed by Haley's side all night, as it was obvious Peyton was tired Taylor and Brooke let her sleep in Brooke's hospital bed. Taylor and Brooke sat side by side at Haley's bed. Both thinking about their little sister and why of all people she was the one lying in a hospital bed.
Not that Taylor wished it was either of Peyton or Brooke, she honestly didn't know who she wished it was… herself?
If it meant Haley was ok then she would gladly trade places.
But then who would look after Broke and Haley? Their parents? Taylor could have laughed out loud at that thought. Karen would of course but that wasn't fair. She had Lucas and Megan to look after.
So no even though she'd trade places in a minute she knew that her in Haley's place would just cause her sisters pain… and that was what she didn't want.
"She looks like she's sleeping." Brooke said, breaking the silence. Taylor nodded.
"She does. You did too." She said. Brooke thought for a moment. If it was this hard for her seeing Haley like this how the hell had Taylor coped with the two of them?
Brooke looked at her baby sister, even though they were twins Brooke always felt older. Instead of three minutes she felt as though it should be three years.
"Do you remember that one time when mum and dad brought back those fancy clothes for us to wear?" Brooke asked.
"Which time?" Taylor asked.
"That one time when they were all ruffley, even the underpants… and they were all pink." Brooke explained.
"O yeah… they kept making us wear them but they Haley cut hers up so she didn't have to wear it anymore." Taylor said smiling.
"She said a wild bear did it." Brooke smiled.
"How about the time when she was like 3 and she drew on the walls?" Taylor said.
"I don't remember that." Brooke said.
"Brookie Boo you were three as well." Taylor pointed out.
"Go on with the story." Brooke said.
"Well she drew all over the wall and mum and dad, well mainly mum, was convinced she was going to be an artist because they swore her scribbling on the wall was amazing." Taylor said. Brooke burst out laughing.
"I can imagine mum doing that." She said. Taylor grinned.
"Yeah." She said. "Anyway for a week any drawing Haley did they kept and thought one day it would be worth a lot. It was so funny."
"Oh my God!" Brooke exclaimed.
"What?" Taylor asked a bit panicked.
"Haley still has the scar along her hairline." Brooke exclaimed brushing back Haley's hair to show Taylor a thin white scar just along her hairline.
"What's that from?" Taylor asked.
"Do you remember when we were getting extensions and we always played in there?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah." Taylor said.
"And there was that time when someone had broken a window so there was glass everywhere and for some reason Haley was climbing through the window and she stuck her head up and got cut on some glass still in the window frame." Brooke explained.
"Oh yeah." Taylor said remembering that day. "What about the time she went trick-or-treating as Glenda the Good Witch?"
"Yeah, I was Dorothy." Brooke smiled. "Do you remember when mum and dad let her take singing lessons?"
"Yeah." Taylor smiled. "She loved to sing, she'd sing any chance she could."
"No. She loves to sing." Brooke said. "After all she's just sleeping." Taylor smiled and nodded.
"I remember when we went to the lake and Haley couldn't swim, neither could you but you weren't afraid. Dad taught you and you were splashing around happily but Haley was too scared to jump in. so I asked her did she trust me and she said yes, so I told her to jump in and she did." Taylor smiled sadly.
"Do you remember when you taught us the Thriller dance?" Brooke smiled.
"Do you remember the costume party you two had? You both dressed as mermaids." Taylor said.
"I remember when Haley first started school; she was scared everyone would be mean." Taylor said.
"I remember when Theresa picked on her one day; I kicked her in the shins and told her if she was going to be mean to Haley she wasn't going to be my friend." Brooke said.
"I remember Haley used to cry when mum and dad left us alone overnight." Brooke said.
"I remember when she broke her arm." Taylor said. "You had gone over to Peyton's to sleep, Haley was supposed to go to but she had the flu… you and Peyton wanted to stay with her but mum wouldn't let you. I was just starting to get it so I babysat. She wanted to play and was bouncing the basketball when suddenly the noise stopped and I went outside and she's fallen off the porch and broke her arm. She was so scared."
"I remember when the first guy she liked turned her down." Brooke said. "She was so, so, so hurt, shattered."
"I remember when I first saw you two lying here." Taylor said. "I was so scared."
"Taylor I'm so sorry." Brooke said.
"It's not your fault Brooke." Taylor said.
"Yeah it is Tay." Brooke said. "I was driving, I should've stopped, I shouldn't have talked to Theresa or Nathan. I shouldn't have been singing and laughing, I shouldn't have woken up!" Brooke cried.
"Hey, hey, hey Brookie-Boo." Taylor said getting up and coming around to Brook. She hugged her tightly.
"Brooke I don't ever want to here you say that again. Brooke you're awake and that's great." Taylor said.
"No it's not! Haley's still lying there! Why am I awake? Why am I the one who gets to wake up? Why can't she be the one awake?" Brooke cried.
"Because maybe I need you to help me through Haley being the one asleep." Taylor said.
"You know what the worst part is?" Brooke asked.
"What baby girl?" Taylor asked.
"We're sitting here playing 'I Remember' and I remember the crash." Brooke said. "That's what I remember."
