Baley: Destined to be together Part 1
Chapter 5:
The Moment That Changed Us All
It had been a normal day in Tree Hill so far; the birds were singing, couples were having fun, and kids were playing in the park. There was one slight difference however, Sawyer Scott, the daughter of Lucas and Peyton Scott, was currently sitting in her room with Karen, Lucas' mother. Sawyer had been sent home from her Aunt Brooke's house. Brooke called Peyton earlier and explained that she needed to pick Sawyer up. Brooke told Peyton that she needed to take care of a 'fashion emergency' at Clothes over Bro's. Nobody expected what happened after that.
It was two p.m. and Peyton, being the speed demon she is, she was speeding down the road on her way to get her baby. She wasn't thinking of anything else, so she didn't see the car heading straight for her until it slammed into her in a head on collision. The shock was enough to make Peyton slow down, but as she was getting out of her car, someone else slammed into the other side of her and the impact struck Peyton leaving her unconscious.
Peyton Sawyer Scott was laying on the ground covered in She awoke about twenty minutes later after a bystander performed CPR on her. Peyton wished she were able to reach her cell phone before she was struck, but she didn't really have any time before she hit the ground and then she was out. Peyton sawyer Scott was laying on the ground covered in blood, weather it was hers or the other driver's she didn't have a clue; she hoped for a miracle to be granted but with her luck so far, she didn't think she would get very far. She knew she should be thinking about other things, such as surviving, but the only thing she had on her mind was her husband and her daughter. The paramedics rushed Peyton to the hospital and it was there where she fully passed out again. Lucas was notified and you could sense the fear in his voice.
"Why her, Why now, and finally what happened? Please tell me, I have to know" Lucas was shaking as he asked.
Lucas knew something was wrong, but he didn't want his wife in any sort of pain. She had already suffered enough.
The whole gang arrived about twenty minutes after Lucas notified them. Lucas was freaking out because every time he asked a question, the doctors would tell him to calm down and relax. Karen was watching Sawyer and Lucas was calling her every half hour to check on them. Nobody knew the pain he was feeling; well maybe Nathan felt like this when Haley was hurt. The doctor appeared after they managed to calm Lucas down, but he didn't have any news to share with the waiting friends, just some paperwork for Lucas to sign.
"Family for Peyton Scott?" the doctor walked into the room holding a clipboard and looking around as he asked.
"I'm her husband, Lucas, please… what's going on?" he asked with fear and uncertainty in his voice.
"She's in surgery, but it doesn't look good since she has lost so much blood. She needs a donation quickly." The doctor replied with a solemn look on his face.
Lucas paled at hearing this and looked around, his eyes landing on someone who was always there for him.
"I know someone who has her blood type, could they donate?" Lucas asked hoping the answer was yes.
"Of course they can but their blood has to be tested and testing takes about ten minutes and we don't have any time to waste. Please go get them and we can start the process." The doctor told him and waited while Lucas went to find Haley.
"Hales please" he was desperate. He couldn't lose Peyton like this.
"Haley, Peyton needs blood or she's going to die." Lucas was trying to remain calm, but he was about to lose it as he asked.
Haley could see the pain he was in; he didn't do a good job at hiding it, and she didn't want him going through anything he didn't have to. Haley watched him, knowing he wouldn't have asked her if he didn't truly need her help.
"Lucas, I'll donate, but I don't know exactly how much help I'll be." Haley was nervous but out of everyone here, she was the only choice.
"Lucas if anything happens to me, please make sure Brooke is taken care of," Haley pleaded with him as she got out of her seat in search of a doctor.
Haley went to find the doctor after that and went to donate the needed blood for one of her best friends. Two long and horrible hours later, the doctor walked back into the room.
"Family for Scott, Peyton?" he asked looking around and walking over to the group. "Peyton has lost a lot of blood, but we expect her to make a full recovery thanks to a much needed blood donation. The donation saved her life."
Haley walked away as the doctor explained everything to Lucas and the remainder of the group. She wasn't surprised where she ended up, in the arms of Brooke Davis, crying her eyes out. She was sad for Peyton and the horrible accident, but she was extremely grateful she was able to help save Peyton's life.
