CHAPTER 35
Taylor walked up to Peyton, pulling Lucas along with her.
"What?" he asked, unaware of where they were going.
She just pointed over at Peyton and he clenched his jaw angrily when he saw that she was crying.
Peyton heard footsteps nearing her so she looked up and smiled weakly. "Hey guys."
Taylor sat down on one side of her and Lucas sat on the other.
"What's wrong?" Taylor asked.
"Nothing," was her quick answer as she wiped her eyes.
"Peyton you're crying," Lucas said like that was enough to prove that there was something wrong.
"It's allergies?" she tried.
"Oh please," Taylor scoffed. "What's really going on?"
Peyton sighed and began to tell Taylor and Lucas about her predicament with Chris and when she was done Lucas stood up angrily.
"He's dead."
---------------
Nathan had consoled Brooke several times and she didn't even know it.
The fact that she was calming down after he spoke was enough proof for him that she did indeed love him.
That didn't mean that he couldn't mess with Lucas a little, but he would save that for another time.
He stood up from the bed, but not before placing a kiss on Brooke's forehead, and walked out of the room quietly.
He was going to go to the kitchen to get some water.
But when he got to the stairs he felt an extreme pain on the back of his head and then…
Everything went black for Nathan Scott.
---------------
Chase walked away from the building he just went to, in disgust.
He couldn't believe he did that.
Chris was his friend.
His best friend.
Planting that clothing was not necessary.
Chase shook his head in frustration.
Stupid Felix…I'm just going to tell him that I don't want to help him with this..
He was just going to tell him when he got to his house, seeing as Felix told him to go after he planted the clothing.
So Chase began to walk in that direction with determination.
---------------
Chris walked sullenly down the street but lifted his head when he heard a shout.
"Hey Keller!"
He turned to see a very angry Lucas Scott headed his way…running his way actually.
Chris' eyes widened.
"Oh shit!" then he bolted with Lucas not so far behind.
---------------
"I'll be right back Hales!" Jake yelled before closing the front door, walking onto the porch, and towards his car.
He needed to buy some more food for Jenny.
But when he neared the car door, a cloth came up to his nose.
Darkness came almost immediately for Jake Jageilski.
---------------
"Nathan?" Brooke called out sleepily.
When she got no answer she sat up and turned on the lamp that was on top of the drawer next to the bed.
There was a note on the drawer and Brooke picked it up.
Just went to hang out with Jake. I don't know when I'll be back.
-Nathan
Brooke scrunched her eyebrows in confusion and reached for her cell phone to call Haley.
---------------
Haley jumped when she felt her phone vibrate in her jeans pocket.
She took out her phone and read the screen.
1 new text message
She saw that it was from Jake.
Decided to hang out Nathan, don't wait up.
Haley wanted to know why he didn't just call her but then her cell phone vibrated again.
She looked at the screen.
Tigger calling.
She smiled before answering. "What's up?"
"Is Jake there?" was her response.
"No, he just texted me saying that he was going to hang out with Nathan," Haley answered confusedly.
"Well I just think it's weird that he decided to just leave when he knows I can't do anything right now, with the bed rest and all."
"Feeling abandoned buddy?" Haley asked with a smile.
"A little."
Haley smirked, knowing that Brooke was pouting. "He'll be back, besides what could you need right now? You're supposed to be sleeping."
"Uh hello! I'm pregnant! It's called hormones and late night cravings."
Haley laughed. "I'm talking to hormonal Brooke aren't I?"
"Hell yeah!" she said like if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Okay then," Haley said with a smile. "So what're you gonna do until Nathan gets home?"
"I don't know," she mumbled sadly.
"Don't get too depressed over this Brooke," she said. "You should just try to go to sleep, you don't need to be worrying over Nathan, it's not good for you."
"You sound like my mother," Brooke said bitterly, then her eyes widened when she realized what she said.
"Oh Brooke," Haley mumbled sympathetically.
"I miss her Haley," she said, her voice cracking.
"I know, I do too," she said as she bit her lip to keep herself from crying.
"It wasn't her time, she wasn't suppose to go so early, I needed her…I needed her so much," Brooke sobbed."Why did it happen Haley? Why?"
"I don't know," she answered honestly. "I was no older than you when it happened Brooke, besides those kind of accidents happen all the time."
"I know, but why did it have to happen to her? She was a good person, she didn't deserve it."
Haley didn't answer.
She didn't know how.
She couldn't tell Brooke that 'things happen for a reason' because she knew she would just flip out. And she couldn't tell her that her mother deserved it, because that was completely untrue.
So Haley just stayed silent and Brooke welcomed the silence, as her tears flowed freely down her cheeks.
Brooke didn't even hang up the phone because she knew Haley wasn't going to either, and that comforted her.
So she just continued to cry silently while listening to Haley's breathing.
---------------
"Where do you think Lucas went?" Peyton asked as she lifted her head off of Taylor's shoulder.
Lucas just said 'he's dead' and left, leaving Peyton confused as to where he went.
"Probably off to kick your boyfriend's...or uh...ex-boyfriend's ass," Taylor answered.
"What?!" she exclaimed, she was about to say more but was cut off by someone yelling.
"Ahh!" Chris yelled as he ran passed Peyton and Taylor. He looked back to see Lucas getting closer. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit."
Peyton stood up. "Lucas!"
He didn't listen and kept running.
So Peyton started running as well, trying to stop him from beating the crap out of Chris.
"Peyton!" Taylor yelled. She looked around and realized she was alone so she shrugged and started running. "Hey wait up!"
---------------
Chase walked up to Felix's door and knocked.
He waited a moment before a girl opened the door.
"Can I help you?" she asked politely.
"Uh...I'm Chase...is Felix home?" he asked nervously.
She nodded. "Yeah."
"Can you call him?" he asked hopefully.
"Sure," she smiled before yelling, "Felix!"
"Que?!" came his muffled response.
"Chase is here to see you!" she yelled, while still smiling at Chase.
"Hold on!" Felix yelled, his voice still muffled from wherever he was.
"I'm Anna," she smiled.
"Hi," Chase smiled back.
"Hey," Felix said out of breath as he stood next to his sister. "Come on in."
Chase nodded as he followed Felix.
---------------
Nathan eyes slowly opened and he groaned.
All he saw was darkness but he knew he was tied to a chair and he could make out a figure next to him.
He stared closer at it and his eyes widened.
"Jake," he whispered.
He didn't budge so he kicked his leg causing Jake to jump.
"Huh, what?" he mumbled as he opened his eyes. "Haley?"
"No dude, it's me," he whispered.
"What's going on?" Jake whispered back. "And why are we whispering?"
"I just think it's best that we whisper," he explained.
"Where are we?" Jake asked.
"I don't know."
Nathan was about to say more but he made a 'shushing' sound when he heard a muffled voice nearing them.
---------------
Taylor caught up to Peyton and laughed, while still running. "This reminds me…of when…I used…to date…Nathan."
"What?!" Peyton breathed out, trying to keep up with Lucas.
"I would…always chase…him when…he got jealous…and tried to…kick some guys…ass," Taylor explained, as she looked up to see how far ahead Lucas was.
"You guys…used to…date?!" Peyton exclaimed, out of breath but still pumping her legs as fast as she could.
"Yeah…but it was…before Haley and Brooke…I promise," she laughed.
Peyton shook her head with amusement, then she looked up and saw that Lucas was really close to grabbing Chris so she ran faster.
"Oh hell," Taylor mumbled a she started running faster too.
Chris could feel the air whooshing past his ears, and he knew that Lucas was right behind him.
"Crap," he said under his breath.
He spotted the first house on the block they were at and ran faster in that direction.
---------------
"What?!" Chase yelled once in Felix's room.
Felix shrugged. "Yeah."
"You're an idiot Felix," Chase replied as he sat down on his bed.
"I thought it was a pretty good plan," he said as he sat down next to Chase.
"You know what? I'm out," Chase said as he remembered what he came to do. "I don't want any part in what you're doing."
"Oh, come on," Felix said. "It's not even that bad."
"Whatever," he said as he walked out of the room and down the stairs.
"Chase come back, man," Felix yelled from the top of the stairs.
"No," Chase answered as he opened the door.
His eyes widened.
Four people were running towards him with full speed.
The next thing he knew he was on the floor with those four people on top of him.
---------------
Nathan let out a breath, he didn't know he was holding when the voices just went right passed the door.
"Who the hell would do this?" Nathan said looking around the darkness.
"Look we just need to stay calm," Jake said while nodding. "If we do that everything will be fine."
"The hell with that," Nathan replied. "We need to do something and get out of here."
"Yeah but-"
A light turned on and they heard a voice.
"What the hell?"
