Hey everyone- Please review this one, I want to see how you like it. I worked really hard on it, so it means a lot.

Chapter 34

"Kahil Gibran once wrote, "You're reason and your passion are the rudder..and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burn to it's own destruction."

(She Has No Time by Keane playing-)

Haley stared out the window, her mind so far off from everyone else.

You think your days are uneventful,

The sun was shining so beautifully. But no one was thinking that.. No one cared about that. How could they? Today was supposed to be the best day of two people's lives. But, no.

It wasn't.

How could it turn out so horrible? How could this day, where everyone was supposed to be so joyful, excited, and loving, become so bereaved and miserable?

And no one ever thinks about you.

How?

No one could answer that question. It didn't seem possible.

Nothing could make anyone feel happy. Nothing would bring just the slightest bit of joy in their lives.

Not today. Not now.

She goes her own way. She goes her own way.

One of their best friends was losing their life today. Two people actually.

And all they could do was just wait, anxiousness inside them, along with sadness, anger, and grief, wondering about what's ahead of them.

You think your days are ordinary.

And no one ever thinks about you,

But we're all the same.

And she can hardly breath without you.


Chase longed to do something. He couldn't just stand there, watching his fiance die. He wouldn't do that. She was too important to him.

But what could he do?

He needed for her to be okay. He couldn't go on without her.

He missed seeing that smile, it brightening everything with it's delicateness. Chase needed to see that, it was the only thing going to ever give him hope.

She says, "She has no time for you now"

Chase bolted from where he was standing, not knowing where he was going, but just knowing that he couldn't stand there, he couldn't bare to watch lose her, but at the same time he didn't want to just let it happen. But he couldn't do anything about it.

He ran out of the hospital doors, and onto the sidewalk, his body shivering, tears rolling down his cheeks.

She says, "She has no time"

A car door was slammed, and Chase heard footsteps toward him. He looked up, not anymore tears in his eyes, but anger. He couldn't stand to look into those eyes. It made him fill up with rage so quickly, so quickly he didn't even know he could handle it.

"What are you doing here?" He said, a look of disgust on his face.

"Chase.."

Well think about the lonely people,

"No." He said, his face so angry it was almost scary.

"Don't you dare.. don't you dare ever think that you actually care about Brooke.. or about me."

Then think about the day she found you,

"Chase, let me explain."

"No. You don't even have the right to. You and me are not friends anymore. You blew it." Chase said coldly, looking straight into his eyes, wanting to make it hurt so bad.

Or lie to yourself,

"If Brooke isn't okay.." He said, shaking his head, "Well, you just better pray." Chase added, looking into his eyes one last time before turning towards the hospital.

And see it all dissolve around you.

She says, "She has no time for you now"

She says, "She has no time for you now"

She says, "She has no time"


Rachel paced back and forth in the waiting room, her stomach queasy. She inhaled and exhaled, trying not to cry, her breathing unsteady. She closed her eyes for a long time, her hands still shaking. If that doctor didn't come soon she didn't know how she could survive like this.

Peyton looked outside, watching Chase come in, and seeing Lucas standing there, hopelessly, so disappointed in himself.

She was so hurt from him, confused, and she couldn't take it.

Peyton got up, wiping her tears once again, and opened the door, as she then walked over to Lucas.

"Peyton.."

Lonely people tumble downwards,

She stared at him, right into his eyes, cold, as he looked down at his shoes. Her eyes started to water.

"Wha-" Peyton said, her jawed dropped, not knowing at all what to say.

"When you said you missed me was that just a lie?" She said sadly, tears falling from her eyes.

And my heart opens up to you,

"Do you see Peyton?" He said. "You hurt me so bad. I don't think you realize it. I am so confused, and realized that the only way to hurt you... was to stand up.. because I know that nothing could be worse to you than me having feelings for Brooke again." He said rudely, as he walked back to his car and drove.

Peyton took a few steps back, falling onto the bench, her hand on her mouth as she sobbed.

"When she says, "She has no time for you now"


"Brooke Davis?" The doctor asked.

"She says, "She has no time for you now"

Chase got up so quickly, and Haley squeezed Peyton's hand so tightly, Peyton couldn't feel it.

Everyone felt sick as they waited, just waited to hear the news.

She says, "She has no time"
