Nathan sat inside the room, looking down at his brother. Lucas. He didn't feel right that Lucas was always in this position, he was either in the hospital or heart broken. The door opened, he looked up and saw Haley with Peyton behind her. Peyton smirked a little, giving Nathan a warm welcome. He didn't show a reaction, he didn't think. All he could think about is that it was his fault that Lucas was in the hospital. He looked back at Lucas and started to leave the room. Haley let out a deep breath, Nathan didn't even look at her. She shook her head, disgusted with herself and him. They weren't talking, not even looking at each other.
"Ouch," Peyton walked into the room, sitting next to Lucas as she laid her hand on his. She couldn't stop thinking about him, he was all that she thought about. She thought about their past lives and how they always found each other. She thought about the life they were going to have when he wakes up, she was excited. Her heart fluttered just the thought about it.
"It's not his fault, he's...a little broken right now." Haley said to her, walking on the other side of the bed. She looked down at her best friend, his entire face was pale and he dark circles under his eyes. It seemed like he was already dead, wanting for them to give up on him. Nathan looked the same, dark circles and a restless face.
"Is he alright? He doesn't look so good." Peyton said to her, still looking down at Lucas. Haley turned around, looking outside the glass door to the hallway everyone was. Iris walked past, she looked the same as Nathan. Broken and tired.
"I don't know and I don't think Iris is okay either." Haley let out a deep breath, Peyton didn't want to hear about Iris and her troubles. She felt like she deserved whatever was coming to her. "They're both beating each other up. Iris-" Haley tried to say but Peyton started to speak.
"Iris deserves whatever gets handed to her." Peyton said quickly, Haley narrowed her eyebrows and looked down at her friend. She couldn't believe with a hard cold soul would say something like that.
"What?" Haley said completely shocked.
"Don't look at me like that," Peyton looked up at her. Haley stared, wondering what cruel thing she would say next. Neither the less, Haley would put Peyton in her place. "Iris butted into my relationship with Lucas-"
"You mean the game that you were playing with Lucas. Skills butted in and so did I. Iris was only helping her friend, doing what was right. You can't judge her for that." Haley frowned at Peyton, raising her voice a little.
"Well, I do." Peyton turned away, having enough of the conversation with Haley. She didn't want this friendship ruined either.
"Don't!" Haley yelled at her. Peyton slowly looked up at Haley, wondering why Haley was taking her side. "We should have never done anything. I should have stayed out of it. Iris should have too and now we all learned our lessons. Leave her alone." Haley stood her ground, Peyton stood up and walked over to Haley.
"Why are you on her side?" Peyton asked her. Haley swallowed, she didn't want to say it but she had to.
"Before I thought you were meant for Lucas-"
"And now you think I'm not." Peyton already knew what she was going to say. Peyton shook her head. "So, now your on the bitches side. Iris- Iris..." Peyton tried to explain, trying to say something.
"Iris is innocent. Her friend hates her, her best friend is in a coma and the love of her life is gone. She doesn't need this right now and she doesn't need to know that Mouth and Millicent are leaving or that their engaged." Haley warned Peyton, not knowing that she had already said something when she heard of the news.
"To late." Peyton smirked a little, looking down at Haley. Haley took in a step back, wondering what Iris was feeling right now. "I thought she should know." Peyton shrugged her shoulders. Haley quickly slapped Peyton, as hard as she could.
"I think Iris would have punched you but I did it for her." Haley swallowed. "You are a heartless, selfish, childish bitch Peyton and you don't deserve anything and you don't deserve Lucas." Haley sharply turned around and started to leave the room.
"Lucas already chose me!" Peyton yelled, Haley turned around and watched Peyton smiled at her with a distressed look on her face.
"I doubt it." Haley turned back around and left Peyton with the words that she had left.
Iris sat on the floor, looking across from the room. Brooke laid peacefully in her bed, not wondering about the outside world. Iris didn't know what she would do, she just wanted to sit here and feel nothing. She needed someone that she could talk to, say something to. The only person that she would even open her mouth for is Mouth, she wished that she would just cry in his shoulders and for him to tell her what to do. Iris looked down at her phone, she had three missed calls from Mouth and a few texts. She didn't have a smile on her face, she didn't even feel nothing. She looked through her call log, wondering who she could talk to. She pressed the bottom and put the phone to her ears. She waited until the phone went to the voicemail. She cleared her throat and thought about what came into his mind.
"I need you right now," Iris swallowed. "I know that you don't want me to talk to you and I know that your with her but I need you. I need you by my side because I miss you and I'm going through a really hard time right now." Iris took in a deep breath, she couldn't cry. "Please, come home. You told me if I really needed you, you'd be there, always. So, I need you. Right now. I can't take it anymore, I feel like I'm in a nightmare and bad things just keep happening and I have nowhere else to go or anyone to talk to. Please, just..." Iris let out a deep breath, she couldn't explain anymore. She looked down at her phone and at the caller I.D. She stared for a moment and then hug up the phone. It was his choice now.
