I thought it was time for some action. It isn't the best. I may return to the beginning of this chapter later on. I might flashback it for one of the characters so we can see how they felt during this time.

In The Streets At Midnight

Haley turned in a circle around the middle of the road. She didn't know how she got here. She looked up and saw Lucas walking towards her. Even from there she could see the concern etched on his face. She opened her mouth to speak but headlights shinning on her cut her off. She tried to move but she wasn't fast enough. The car struck her then took off. They never saw Lucas.

Lucas ran over to her. He got to his knees beside her and checked for her pulse. He found it. She would be okay if she got help soon. He reached for his cell phone but froze up. It became hard for him to breath. He fell over to the ground.

Both of them needed medical attention but no one was around to get them help. Their lives hung in the balance. It would be a miracle if someone found them. No one in their right mind would be out in the cold weather at midnight.

Peyton reached on the nightstand for her phone. The annoying ringing at her woke up her up. She opened it and put it up to her ear without checking caller id. She was just too tired. "Hello?" She barely got the word out as she started to yawn.

"Where's your girlfriend Peyton?" A voice she didn't recognize asked.

She looked at the bed beside her. It was empty. She threw the covers off of her body and was quickly standing on the ground. "Who is this?" She ran to the bathroom. No Haley. She ran to the kitchen, No Haley. She wasn't in the living room either. That's when she noticed the front door wasn't locked.

"Have you found her yet?" The voice had amusement in it. Like the person on the other end was enjoying this.

"Where the hell is Haley?!" She took a cautious step towards the door. It was cracked slightly.

"You'll have to find her." The caller hung up.

Peyton checked her caller id but the number was anonymous. The call probably came from a pay phone or a disposable cell phone. She looked around the living room and noticed that Lucas was missing too. She ran out the front door. She ignored the fact that she was in short cheer shorts and a tank top.

Peyton rubbed her arms up and down. It was cold outside. She was not dressed to be walking the streets of Tree Hill. The cold, harsh wind was causing her exposed skin to turn pink. She had called Nathan and told him what had happened. She had told him to stay with the girls and make sure they were safe.

She stopped walking. Her heart fell. Lying on the cold pavement was Haley and Lucas. Haley was covered in cuts and bruises. There were tire marks on the pavement around her. A car had hit her. Peyton pushed past the lump and ran over to her girlfriend. Lucas wasn't in much better shape. At least he hadn't been hit. She quickly called 911.

DS

Brooke held Peyton close to her. Everyone was in the waiting room of the hospital. The lives of their friends hung in the balance and no one could tell them if they would make it or not.

"Lucas Scott and Haley James?" A tall blonde doctor walked into the waiting room.

"That's us." Nathan stood up, pulling Rachel with him. Brooke helped Peyton to stand up. Larry Sawyer was there as well. Karen was unable to come. She was out of town but rushing to get back.

"Lucas had a mild heart attack. He seems to be stable now but we need to run some more test. He hasn't woken up yet. We won't know if he'll be alright until he wakes up."

"And Haley?" That was the first Peyton had spoke since arriving at the hospital three hours ago.

"It isn't looking good." He gave the blonde a sympathetic look. "She has some internal bleeding, several broken bones, and head trauma. We won't know if she'll be alright until she wakes up." He paused. "That is if she wakes up."

Peyton fell into her father's arms. She broke down crying. She couldn't lose Haley.

"Peyton, sweetie, maybe you should go home and get some rest." Larry Sawyer placed a gentle hand on his daughter's shoulder. He knew she was hurting. He was hurting for his daughter's girlfriend as well. He could only imagine the pain she was going through.

"I can't leave her alone dad." She looked up at her dad sadly. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy from crying.

"I'll stay here and call you if anything changes. I promise." Her brushed a strand of her hair out of her face.

"Okay." She didn't want to leave but she figured she could grab some things for Haley. She didn't want to leave Haley in a dark, depressing looking hospital room. If she could help it she would dress it up a little.

She left to go to her house. She hoped with all of her heart that this nightmare would be over soon. She prayed that the phone calls would end. She prayed that Haley would be okay. She prayed that Lucas would wake up. She prayed that no one else would get hurt. She wasn't a religious person but praying helped.


A/N: I know that this chapter is short but I needed to get some action going. Peyton is going home and someone is waiting at her house for her. Drama is in the next chapter and she might get another a phone call.

Leave a review and let me know if there is any certain death or anything you would like to see.

I have a promo video for this on YouTube. The link is in my profile.
