Matters Of The Heart

Chapter 39

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said I'll never let you go

Hold onto this lullaby even when the music's gone.

you and I'll be safe and sound

Haley James couldn't stop the tears from falling as she got an awaited update from Lucas regarding Brooke. Last she heard from him. They were on the way to the delivery room.

The hurt pain and shock that Haley heard in her best friend's voice. Was so hard to hear. No one saw this coming and Lucas didn't know what to do. What to tell people.

"Don't worry about that. I've got it. What can i do?" Haley asked.

"Consider it done. I love you too." Haley replied.

Turning off her cellphone as she wiped her eyes.

"It's bad. Really bad." Haley said softly.

Antwon Taylor pulled her into a hug.

"We're get them through it." He replied.

He took her hand as they started to make their way out of the cafe.

Rachel purposely bumping into her.

"Watch where you're going Hannah Montana." Rachel replied.

"Get over yourself." Haley replied.

"What's her problem?" Peyton said. Loud enough for Haley to hear.

"We don't have time for this." Antwon insisted. Looking to Haley.

But Haley couldn't rise above it. She had reached her limit with all involved.

"You have alot of nerve and lack of self awareness to realize no one in this town gives a damn about either of you!"

"Brooke was supposed to be you're best friend and the both of you believe that thing. Instead of her!"

"Brooke deserved better then the both of you. And i hope the two of you realize what you lost in her."

"In case anyone needs clarity. Nathan Scott is a predator.!"

"He stalked and almost assualted Brooke in her own home."

"You can keep that on the record!" Haley exclaimed. Before leaving the cafe with Antwon beside her.

...

Haley then went to Karen and Keith to inform them what had gone on with Brooke. Then her and Antwon made their way to the hospital.

...

Lucas had been by his wife's bedside. Not sure what to feel or say.

He was so angry and upset. Tegan was in the hospital nursery.

With a knock at the hospital room door. Lucas made his way over.

Opening it slowly. Haley was there. Antwon.

They both hugged him tightly.

"Daddy!" The boys exclaimed.

Lucas scooped them into his arms. Breathing a sigh of relief.

"The two of you are officially big brothers. You have a little sister."

"Her name is Tegan." Lucas explained.
