Chapter 3- Stranger in my house

In the hospital

Haley and the rest of the group were still following the nurse to Nathan's room. Haley didn't even know why she was still there. She didn't want to see Nathan, well, not like that. Him lying on a hospital bed was just going to kill her. It did when she saw Lucas one year ago. So, suddenly she stopped.

''Umm…hey guys I…need to go to the bathroom.'' lied Haley.

''It can't wait? We are near of his room Ms. Scott.'' retort the nurse.

''No! I'm…you know…I, I, I…have a leak in my wedding dress!'' blurted out Haley.

''Okay, it is fine you…can go do whatever you need to do Ms. Scott'' said the nurse embarrassed.

''Thank you.'' faked smiled Haley.

''Do you want me to go take you're your clothes? I know you like this dress but…it's kind of…big.'' tried to explain Peyton. ''Also the leak thing just happen so, well, do you want me to go take them?''

''Uh…yes.'' Even if she didn't really have a leak, Peyton was right. The wedding dress was kind of taking a lot of place and was getting heavier at the minute.

''Okay so I'll go now!''

''Thank you Peyton.''

''No problem!''. Actually, Peyton really can't see Nathan right now. It's not that she didn't want to but, it was hard seeing someone she loves being sick…again.

In the hospital corridors

Peyton was walking in the corridors depressed and while she was trying to contain her tears. She accidentally hit someone.

''Hey are you okay?''. ask Peyton to the person.

''Yeah,yeah''. Said the stranger hiding his face with his big yellow dotted coat.

''I'm sorry!''

''I'm fine.'' And with that said, he left. Peyton didn't see his face but could see that this person was trying hide something. She start walking again still staring behind her where the stranger left. Again she hit somebody.

''I'm sorry."

''No it's okay Peyton!'' laughed Lucas.

''Oh it's you.'' realized Peyton.

''Ah, so much love!''. joked Lucas

''Ha ha…'' tried to laugh Peyton.

''Peyt, have you been crying?'' ask Lucas

''Lucas, Nathan is in coma and Cooper died! Don't you think that I have the right to cry?''

''I know, sorry, I just kind of forgot…''

''Forgot? How could you forget? It's your brother and your uncle!''

''There's also Rachel.''

''Okay, plus Rachel!''

''It's just that Brooke called and...Whatever, I should just concentrate on my brother and my friends.''

''Oh, Brooke called?

''Yeah…Apparently she is not in town for a couple of months.'' said Lucas kind of still angry about her decision. He was right tough. A couple of hours ago, they were dancing and kissing…Yes, she did discover about the kiss him and Peyton shared but, they dance and kissed after the fight. She made a big twist by going out of town.

''Couple of months?'' ask Peyton not believing that Brooke would really do that.

''Yup.'' said Lucas getting even more pissed. ''She said a month or two actually.''

''Does that make it more acceptable?''

''No, you're right'' Lucas sight.

''Well, maybe she needs time. Maybe she'll come back and…''

''She broke up with me.'' interrupt Lucas.

''Oh, I'm sorry Luke.'' said Peyton.

''Nah, don't. I agreed to do so. It's my fault.''

''Don't say that! It's her fault! She paranoids and you're always the one getting hurt in the end. Sometimes I think that, she doesn't deserve a guy like you.'' said Peyton taking his hand.

''Yes, she deserves better'' said Lucas dropping his head.

''Maybe she does…or maybe you deserve better.'' said Peyton getting closer to Lucas.

Lucas did notice that she was getting closer. He felt bad to tell her to back off a little so, he pulled her into a hug.

Peyton broke the hug and said ''Luke, I need to go take Haley's clothes but, we can talk about this after.''

''Yeah, maybe.''

''Okay bye'' said Peyton hurrying to the door. She could not believe herself. She tried to kiss her best friend boyfriend again. Well, technically, Brooke wasn't her best friend anymore and Lucas was single. Would it be that bad flirting with him? She thought about it during her way to Haley and Nathan's place.

In the hospital bathroom

Haley was still crying. People looked at her like she was crazy but, she kept crying.

''Haley?'' ask Karen entering the was bathroom.

''What?'' said Haley sniffing.

''Umm…it's Karen. Do you need help?''

''No, I'm fine!'' said Haley sarcastically

''Sweetie, come here'' said Karen pulling Haley into a hug.

''I don't know what to do Ms. Roe'' cried Haley. ''It's too hard seeing him like this!''

''I know, I know, but…he needs you to be here! What will he said when he's going to wake up and see that you never came?''

''This is if he wakes up.'' said Haley saying the ''if'' even louder than the other words.

''I can tell you that he is. Why wouldn't he? There's so many things here that are worth living for. You need to tell him that''

''So, if I listen to what you just said, I should tell him something like 'Nate, don't die now cuz there's no pizza in paradise'. '' said Haley sarcastically.

''Not bad but, if you want an advice, you should tell him 'Nathan, don't die cuz, there's no Haley James Scott in paradise'. ''

''What are you talking about? He won't wake up even if I would promise him an place at the NBA! He's in the coma dying!'' yelled Haley.

''People in the coma hear what you say to them! I'm sure he's wondering why you aren't coming to see him and THAT makes him weaker!'' yelled Karen louder than she expected.

Both of them stand there, calming down. Karen was the first to broke the silence.

''I'm sorry Haley. I didn't mean to yell at you.'' apologized Karen.

''No you were right.'' said Haley. ''He must not be proud of me'' cried Haley.

''No Hal…''

''Hey!'' interrupt Peyton. ''Oh I'm sorry to interrupt.''

''No it's fine. I was actually in my way to see Nathan.'' said Haley looking at Karen.

''Great idea.'' smiled Karen.

''Um…I have your clothes…'' said Peyton showing a bag.

''Thank you Peyton but, what I have to do, really can't wait.''

''Oh, its okay Hales, do your thing.''

''Ok''. Before getting out of the bathroom, Haley thanked Karen and Peyton.

''What happened?'' ask Peyton to Karen.

Karen sight happily. ''Just giving a little hope''

''Yeah…Haley isn't the only one who need some.'' blurted out Peyton.

''What's wrong Peyton?''

''Nothing…well, can I ask you something, it's about…Lucas.'' ask Peyton.

''Of course you can sweetie.''

''Okay, I was wondering if it'll be a good idea if…I started going after Lucas…''

''I'm really sorry to break your dream here but, he is with Brooke.''. clarified Karen..

''Not anymore! She broke up with him!'' said Peyton with a happy voice.

''Oh my god! When?'' ask Karen not so happy.

''Like an hour ago on the phone.''

''Gosh…How is Lucas taking it?''

''I don't know but…do you think I should go after him?''

Obviously, Karen didn't wanted to say 'No! God, Peyton, he just broke up with Brooke! He loved her, you best friend by the way. You can't do that!'. So she said…

''Talk to him.''

''No, but is it a good ide…

''I think he is in the waiting room, downstairs!'' said Karen trying to avoid the conversation. ''I'm going to see what's Deb doing. Bye!''. And she went out of the bathroom. Peyton didn't have a chance to reply back. Anyways, she was going to talk to Lucas.

In the waiting room

Karen was right, Lucas was in the waiting room, sitting on a chair. Peyton couldn't stop thinking how hot he looked when he was worried.

''What's up?'' ask Peyton sitting on chair next to him.

''I'm waiting for the lady right here to tell me where is Rachel room'' said Lucas sighting.

''Oh I see…''

''Yup!''

''It's gonna be long.''

''Yup!''

''Shouldn't you take a nap? It's kind of late and you haven't sleep yet.''

''Nah…But you should rest a little. You look tired.'' noticed Lucas.

''Yeah maybe you right.'' Peyton doesn't want to sleep right now. She wanted to stay with Lucas. Suddenly, a brilliant idea came over her.

''Lucas, would you mind if I rest my head on your shoulder?''

''Of course you can!''

''Well, okay then.'' she said while resting her head on his shoulder. She felt so comfortable but so wrong. It was Lucas! Brooke's boyfriend…ex boyfriend. All of her thoughts went away when Lucas rest his head on hers. Peyton couldn't be happier even if she tried not to show it. They stayed like that for a while.

During that time, Brooke was in front of them, watching in disgust the happy couple. She didn't wanted to stay a minute longer. She took her bag, her magazines and her yellow dotted coat and disappeared.
