With Tragedy Comes Grief, Depression, and Love

The After Party Payback

Haley opened her eyes and searched the small room. She didn't recognize anything in it. The walls were a dull white and the floor was off white tile with black specks. She looked on the wall where a small t.v. was hanging from the ceiling. She saw a bathroom to her right and turned to her left. There were machines with wires and it was beeping. Then she saw it an IV bag and it hit her she was in a hospital.

"Haley is that you? Are you awake?"

"Nate?" Haley asked she hadn't even noticed him in the corner until he spoke.

"Hales are you alright? Do you feel okay? Do you need a doctor or nurse? Are you hungry? Do you need to use the restroom? Are you hur…"

"Nathan take a breather I'm fine. I'm a little sore. He got me didn't he Nathan. I knew he would but he told me you weren't coming back."

"Haley I came back and what I saw tore me apart."

"Nathan what did you see?"

Flashback

Nathan and Lucas pushed their way through the crowd and up the stairs. When they reached the top they both sighed heading for the back room. They shoved the door open and their faces fell…

"What the fuck man? What the hell are you doing to her?"

"This stupid bitch bit me and she is going to pay."

"Lucas get him the fuck off her so I can remove that needle."

"Haley? Haley can you hear me?"

Peyton and Jake were heading upstairs when they heard Nathan and Luke's voice at the end of the hall. Just as the boys faces had fallen so did there's when they entered the room. Lucas was beating Jason and cussing him out while Nathan was carefully removing an injection needle from Haley's arm.

"Peyton? Jake? Call the fucking cops! He he he injected her with something get an ambulance here now Haley is unconscious!! I'm going to kill him!"

End Flashback

"Nathan what did he put in me?"

"I don't think I can tell you Hales. He's sick and don't worry he is going to jail for a very long time. After he recovers from the beating Lucas issued him. I wanted to beat him to but I couldn't leave you. I just couldn't get up and leave you on that bed. Hales I was so scared."

"Nathan you have to tell me what he put in my body…please I'm begging you I need to know?"

"It was it was…it was heroin Haley. He was injecting you with heroin."

"Oh my god…" Haley began to shake and cry uncontrollably

"Haley haley it's going to be okay alright? I'm here now and I will never let anyone hurt you like that again. Just don't ever run off again like that okay?" Nathan lye his hand on Haley's stomach and lightly rubbed it trying to soothe her.

"I'm sorry Mr. Scott but we have to run some tests on Haley to make sure we got it out of her system so we can start medicating her for her pain." Dr. Johnson stated

"Can I come in when she is done?"

"Depending on how late yes."

"Nathan?"

"Yeah Haley?"

"Go home and shower you smell bad." She joked

"It's because you Haley James have spent the last 3 days sleeping and I haven't left your side."

"Nathan?"

"Yeah Haley?"

"Thank you. It means everything that you were there for me. You saved my life and I owe you everything."

"Haley you don't owe me anything. All you owed me was to wake up and you already did that."

"Nathan"

"Yeah Haley?"

"Okay Mr. Scott you really need to leave. I'm sorry Miss James I know you must have a lot to say to him but he can come back later now we need to run tests."

"Alright bye Nathan and really thank you."

"Haley just don't ever die on me. Otherwise it meant nothing. Oh and your welcome I'll see you later okay?" Before she could answer he shut the door.

It had been three days since Nathan had been outside the hospital parking lot. Lucas and everyone else had begged him to go home for sleep or to clean up or even go to school but he had refused. He was not leaving Haley's side until her big brown eyes met his own. And if those eyes never opened again he would kill Jason. Nathan stepped through his front door and headed to his room. He decided to check his messages before cleaning up. Haley was right he did reek.

"Nathan it's Ally, you haven't been to school in 2 days so I was just calling to check on you. I stopped by your house but no one has been home either. Oh and that rag doll that lives in your house had been absent too so what the hell is going on? Call me when you get this Nathan Scott!"

"Hey man it's Luke I will most likely see you at the hospital but I was just calling to check on you. Oh and I hate to say it but I told you so. You Nathan Scott finally grew a pair and did the right thing I'm proud of you buddy."

"Nathan it's dad, your mom called from her business trip and informed me of what happened to the girl. She also informed me you haven't left the hospital. Nathan Scott if your ass is skipping training to sit in some scum bags hospital room you will regret it when I get back from my convention. Your mother is coming home today to see the girl! I expect you to get your scrawny ass back on that court. You better be in shape and training Nathan I am serious!!!"

"Nathan it's mom, I'm coming home early I'm worried about Haley. Please go to school though Nathan please just go home shower and go to school. Haley wouldn't want you to suffer yourself or your grades. She is going to be okay all right? Just go to school Nate."

"NATHAN ROYAL SCOTT, yes I middle named you. Now this is your girlfriend Allyson. Yeah you do remember I am your girlfriend. Haley is NOT your girlfriend. I swear Nathan you better call me soon or things are going to get ugly. And you WILL be coming back to school. Yes, I heard what happened to ole' rag doll, but honestly Nathan why do you care? We had this conversation remember? She doesn't matter she is nothing to you. She is poor and a slut I mean she gave it up to Jason I highly doubt he raped her and then she probably asked him to put those drugs in her and passed out during. I mean honestly Nathan she is scum and was skanky before she got here. What makes you think she didn't ask for it all? Well whatever Nathan call me back I mean it!"

"What the fuck?!" Nathan screamed as she chucked his phone at the wall and headed for the shower.

After taking a long shower and letting the hot water sting his tired body Nathan got dressed. He then lye down for a while and tried to rest. Doc had told him it would be a few hours before Haley was done so he decided to rest. Ally's words kept ringing through his head though and with every breath of air he sucked in he became more and more pissed.

"That's it!" Nathan grabbed his keys and headed for his car.

"Nathan? Oh my Nathan I missed you I have been so worried about you? I guess you got my messages and came to your senses about that little slut?" She threw her arms around and went to kiss his face when he pushed her off. "What the hell Nathan?"

"Yeah I came to my senses alright. Man Allyson I never thought you would call yourself a slut though…this is new."

"I didn't call myself a slut."

"Yeah you said I came to my senses about that little slut and the only thing I came to my senses about is you!"

"No, Nathan Haley is the slut not me. Geez sometimes you just aren't that smart. I mean she practically threw herself at Jason. And come on Nathan she slept with her mom's boyfriend after her mom was hit by a car. I mean open your eyes Nate."

"Are you fucking kidding me?! She was RAPED you idiot!"

"Yeah, I'm not buying that. Now come on baby lets go catch up for lost time, I mean it's been two days I need me some Nathan. Come on boyfriend I'll lead the way." She said seductively with a smirk.

"You really are clueless aren't you? One you're an idiot Haley was raped. Two yeah right, like I'm going to sleep with you ever again. Three I don't see a boyfriend around here anywhere. You are a bitch Allyson and we are done. Stay away from Haley and me. We don't want or need you around! Oh and don't you dare try to tell anyone any of your accusations. That guy killed Haley's mom and beat her and her sister then he killed her sister. Jason raped her and tried to drug her with heroin so she wouldn't remember. Luke and me saw it and saved her. Keep your mouth shut and realize the truth. If I hear you spreading lies about this I will make sure I have you shut up. Goodbye Allyson."

"Nathan don't you dare walk away from me. I mean it Nathan. I'm a I'm pregnant Nathan and the baby is yours!"

"You're your what?"

"Were going to have a baby Nathan. Just like we always planned only this isn't as soon as we planned. So you can't leave me Nathan you can't leave us. Me and the baby need you, we are going to be a family."

Nathan couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had come to break up with Allyson and now she was telling him she was pregnant no this couldn't be true. He hung his head low thinking and blood rushed to it fast. In a sudden shock Nathan fell to the ground. He had passed out at Allyson's news.
