A/N: Sorry for my lack of posting. Hopefully this chapter makes up for it. I already know where this story is going so I may be posting on it more often. I just tend to forget about it since it doesn't get much feedback.
She had an unbearable pain in her head. She clutched her head trying to make the pain stop. After awhile the pain eased up and she was able to open her eyes. She was still lying on the cold tiled floor. A hand instantly went to the back of her head. When she pulled it back to look at her fingers were covered in a red sticky substance. Blood. She thought silently to herself as she remembered how she had gotten here. She pulled herself up into a sitting position. The pain in her head flared up but she ignored it. She had to find Peyton. She picked herself up from the floor, biting back on the urge to scream. She could deal with the pain as long as it insured her girlfriend's safety. She just hoped she could get to her before he did.

Rachel pulled Peyton to the side once she entered the waiting room with Anna. She made sure no one was around who could hear them. "I can't find Haley. I haven't told anyone else. I thought you might be able to find her." Peyton didn't hear what else Rachel said. She took of running towards Haley's room. She stopped at the entrance and looked around the hallway. She spotted a dark hallway and saw something on the ground. She cautiously walked towards it.
"Don't the nurses check the hallways?" She muttered to her self. She knelt down to the dried substance and gasped. It was blood. It scared her. Haley wasn't in her room and given the current events this couldn't be bad. "Haley where are you?" Peyton stood up and looked over at the deserted nurses station. She turned pale and felt the bile rise up in her throat. She got a hold of herself before she became sick and rushed over to the body. She cautiously stepped in front of her girlfriends' body praying that she was alive.
Haley retracted instantly, thinking it was one of the nurses. She looked up and her breath caught in her throat. "Peyton…" It came out barely above a whisper. "I can't walk on my own. I'm too weak."
"I'll call a nurse…"
"No!" Peyton looked at Haley. Haley's eyes were wide and she was shaking. "Get me some clothes and get me out of here. I have a lot to tell you."
"I'll call Anna and have her bring the clothes."
"Anna's here?" Peyton nodded as she was pulling out her cell phone. "Good. She can help us."
A few minutes later the three girls were locked in one of the bathrooms. It was taking both Peyton and Anna to help Haley change and get cleaned up. She took a pretty nasty hit to the head and cleaning all the blood was becoming a problem. It was matted in her hair and didn't want to come out. "Do you know who did this to you?" Anna asked gently. She was asking the questions she knew Peyton wanted to ask but was too scared too.
"Ian." Haley winced as Anna ran a brush through her hair. She was being as gentle as possible but it still hurt. She watched Peyton stiffen up. She looked up at Anna and mouthed 'give us a minute.' Anna nodded and stepped out of the room, leaving Peyton to brush Haley's hair. "It isn't your fault babe."
"I'm the one who brought him into our lives."
Haley stood up slowly turned to face Peyton. "Hey, it isn't your fault. He was a stalker who tried to earn your trust. This would have happened no matter what." She reached up and wiped away Peyton's tears with the pad of her thumbs. She brushed her lips against her girlfriends. "Come on. We need to get somewhere safe and find a way to stop him." Peyton merely nodded and helped Haley to the car with Anna assisting them.
