A/n: All questions will be answered! -This is a song chapter…("Whatsername") By: Green Day…I am still having trouble fitting it all…so this is not the last chapter…
Chapter 25,
Whatsername
Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
Lucas forced his eyes open and reached for his ringing phone. He didn't know what time it was and really didn't care. He felt aimlessly around for his cell phone, when he finally had it he answered with a groggy "Yeah,"
"Lucas, its Deb," A voice said softly, "Haley's parents just called me…Haley's in the hospital. They wanted me to get in touch with you…because she was calling for you." Lucas rubbed his eyes and tried to become more alert.
Now I wonder how whatsername has been
Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she marry old what's his face?
It had been days since he had talked to anyone…even his own mother. Lucas had spent two days cooped up in his room listening to music. He hadn't thought about Haley in days. He felt guilty now; his head was throbbing and he felt sick. He finally forced words out of his chapped lips, "Is she…okay Deb?"
"Well they haven't given her parents any information about her condition. She's still in Paris though."
"Thank you…I'll book a flight right now."
"Call me back, and I'll tell her parents to meet you at the airport." Lucas heard the small click of the phone. He rubbed his eyes and looked around his room. It took him a second to fully realize this; Haley was in the hospital? He hurried out of bed and called for his mom.
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face. But I can't recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been
Haley-
Nathan. Where was he…what was he doing? Haley felt tears sliding down her cheeks, her face puddle water.
"Halz, are you awake?" A voice said next to her.
She tried forcing her eye lids open but the light was too bright. "Yeah," She spoke finally. She felt a hand close around hers, and squeeze tightly. She didn't recognize the voice, but it soothed her.
"I thought you were-"
"Dead?" She said letting a giggle escape her lips. She placed a hand over her eyes and slowly started adjusting to the rooms bright light.
"No...I thought you had forgotten about me."
Haley tried to focus in on the face next to her. And blur by blur she finally made since of it all. It was Lucas! "LUKE!" She said pulling him close.
"You parents got Deb to get in touch with me. They stepped out for some lunch…but I wanted to be here when you woke up." He said with a smile.
"What am I doing here in the hospital?" She said with a worried expression.
"The doctors haven't said anything yet…but they have been asking your parents if you've been really stressed out lately…"
"Oh, what could that mean?" She said her eyes widening.
"Nothing too serious…they're just keeping you in the hospital for observation. Until they can pin-point what's wrong."
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
"How long have I been in here?"
"Well right now it's pretty late; but your parents have been here sine yesterday. The doctors said a man with black hair rode in the ambulance with you."
Marks's face suddenly flashed in Haley's mind…, "That's Mark." Haley said looking to the floor.
She looked around the small room, the walls were painted a dull white, and everything was quiet. That's what she hated most…she had been sleeping for almost a day and she didn't remember how she had even gotten to the hospital.
She wondered what Mark thought, where he was and if he was close by. Even more so, Haley could still feel Nathan's presence. Where was he? Was it true? Nathan was in Paris….to see her? She closed her eyes, and tried to block the picture out of her mind. But all she could see was Nathan; touching her body.
"Hey, Haley are you okay?" He said running his hands through her hair.
"Where is Nathan?"
"I don't know Halz, no one has heard from him in days." He said leaning closer to her, "But you don't have to worry about him, I'm here now." He placed a kiss on her forehead and continued to rub her head. "But what's this about Mark? Who is this guy?"
The regrets are useless, in my head
I must confess, the regrets are useless
she's in my head
"Someone I met here in Paris." She said under her breath.
"So are you and Mark…together?" He said with a puzzled look on his face.
"No, we went out to dinner as friends. Nothing to worry about Lucas." She suddenly stopped and looked at him, "Why haven't you called me?"
"How was I supposed to Haley? You left without even telling me where I could reach you."
"Luke, I called you and left a message on your cell phone. What didn't you get it?"
"Yeah, but by that time it was too late."
"I cried all the way to Paris because I thought you hated me."
"Hate you? Haley I didn't hate you. I thought you were going here to get away from me…I thought you hated me!"
"So it's just a big misunderstanding?"
"I guess." He said shaking his head.
"Okay…so how's your mom?" She asks touching his hand.
"I haven't really been talking to her lately. I haven't been doing much at all."
I must confess
the regrets are useless
She's in my head
from so long ago
(Go; Go, Go, Go...)
"Me either, school's not what I thought it was going to be." Haley said with a sigh.
"Do you-"Lucas was suddenly interrupted by a nock on the door. Haley and Lucas turned to see the eyes of Nathan.
"What aren't you guys happy to see me?" Nathan said with a wink.
"Were have you been?" Lucas asks walking closer. He placed a hand on Nathan's shoulder as to say, 'don't com any closer'.
"I've been around. What's with all the hostility?" He said with a cocky smile. He pushed Lucas off and walked towards Haley.
"Nathan…" She said with an emotionless expression.
"Haley if you don't want him to be here, I'll make him go away." Lucas said sternly.
Nathan gave Lucas a quick look and with a mocking tone quickly repeated what Lucas had just said. "Isn't that always like him Halz? Jumping to your rescue and deciding for his own what is right for you."
"Nathan, I'm just tired of this…can't we talk about something else?" She asks rubbing her head.
"All you ever do is talk Haley." He said smiling widely.
"Nathan, if you just came here to start a fight then leave." Lucas said angrily.
"I haven't listened to you for years…so just save your breath." Nathan said glaring at Lucas.
"Guys…can't you see why I left Tree Hill? I'm tired of this…you two act like your in fourth grade fighting over girl friends."
"That subject was over a long time ago Haley." Nathan said.
From so long ago and in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time
"Excuse me…" A voice called from behind Lucas. "Haley, the doctor is ready to see you. I'm going to have to tell you two to leave." The nurse said pointing to Lucas and Nathan.
"I guess I will see you when the doctor is done." Nathan said with a small smile. He moved his hand to Haley's cheek and leaned down close, "I've missed you Haley." He said softly. Nathan moved away and walked out of the room.
"I'll see you in a little bit Halz." Lucas said.
"Okay, bye." She said watching him go out the door.
