Haley sat in the corner of the room with her hand on her side, while Brooke, Skills, Mouth, Mike and Rachel were trying to figure out how to get out of here before someone figured out where they were and started shooting the tutor center up.
"Guys…why don't two of you go out and check the hall and if it is clear we should just make a run for it. We could do the buddy system at a time go" Haley said grabbing her side while standing up. "We cannot just stay here until the cops get here because someone is going to come in here and will do god knows what" she tried to explain.
"She is right, Mouth and I will go check the hall and make sure nobody is out there and then if it is ok we all pair up and try and get to the auditorium because it's the closet and has an exit to get out of the school in the back of it." Skills explained
"NO Way Man! I am not going anywhere those guys are going to kill us" Mike said freaked out
"Mike if we don't leave here soon they are going to find us, there are only a number of places students are going to go and hide, and the Tutor Center is one of them, so we can either sit here and wait for them to find us or we can try and get out of here." Rachel explained. Haley and Brooke walked over to Skills and Mouth and looked at them "Guys please be careful" Brooke said sincerely giving Mouth a hug "No matter what has happened or been said between us lately I am your friend and I want you to promise me that you will be ok?" Brooke said to mouth tearing up
"I promise Brooke, and take care of her" he said pointing to Haley
"See yah on the outside Mouth" Haley said smiling trying to hide the fatigue and pain that she was in
"Ok Guys we are going to go we should each go 5 minutes apart, if everything is clear we are going to go and then 5 minutes later two more of you go and so on" Skills explained. Skills nodded and Mouth and him walked out the door into the hallway. As soon as they left Rachel looked at her watch to time it
Everything was clear in the hallway as Skills and Mouth walked quietly through it towards the auditorium. They went around the bend and saw the entrance for the auditorium as they were walking towards it they saw 2 guys walking out.
"Down Down" Skills whispered pushing Mouth into the closet classroom.
Haley and Brooke were waiting for 5 minutes to pass since Rachel and Mike left. Brooke looked over at Haley who was nodding off. She was so pale, she needed to stay awake.
"Hales, Hales you need to stay awake" Brooke said shaking her
"I know I know I am just so tired Brooke. I need Nathan where is he?" she asked getting choked up
"He is on his way Hales, you know he will always come for you. Tell me something about him, or you happiest memory." Brooke asked thinking that would keep her awake and going. She had no idea how her and Haley were going to get out of there. She couldn't even stand up.
"I don't know Brooke I have so many happy memories with Nathan. Lately I didn't think he would even care about me anymore. But if I had to describe my happiest memory with Nathan it would have to be about 2 weeks after we got married. It was one morning he woke me up and made me breakfast. It was my favorite pancakes with fresh blueberries on them, we ate breakfast in bed and then we got up and went jogging together. He always goes jogging on the beach in the mornings and he wanted me to come. Which was kind of weird because he never asks me to go workout with him because I always slow him down. When we got back to the apartment there was purple everywhere and in the corner was a brand-new guitar for me with a bow on it, it was a classic. I couldn't believe he remembered to get me that I had told him one day in passing when we were shopping one day before we even got married. I was so shocked and then we laid on the couch for hours because it started raining and I sang to him and I remember like it was yesterday he told me when my first hit come out I need to name it after him. We spent the whole day like that and then we made love outside in the rain on the patio. It was such a good day. No one interfering, no Dan, no music or Chris, no nothing it was so nice. Then I ruined everything and went on tour." Haley said drifting in and out of it now.
"Haley stay with me hunny. Nathan loves you more than you know he is probably somewhere in this school looking for you. So you need to stay with me. You need to get up and walk out of here to the auditorium so you can get back to your husband." Brooke said standing up holding her hand out to Haley. "I want to get out of here and get to Lucas and make sure that he is ok too and I am not doing that without you so get up!" Brooke said more sternly. Haley reached up and grabbed her hand and Brooke linked her arm under Haley to help her walk. Haley winced in pain as she got up and tried to walk she knew this was going to harder than she thought.
