Chapter 1...
Haley and Peyton ran into the apartment and quickly closed the door. Their hair was a mess and their clothes torn.
"Haley! What are we gonna do?!" Peyton paced around the living room, her tear stained face now visable in the light.
Haley leaned up against the door, her voice was soft "I don't know...I don't know.." Haley looked down at her clothes her once beautiful red dress was now ripped up the side and until that moment she hadn't noticed she was missing a shoe.
"Haley!..." Peyton looked to Haley for answers...answers she didn't have.
"Look...we did what we had to do...it was self defense."
"Then lets go to the police station!" Peyton began walking towards the door, Haley blocked her.
"No! If THEY find out what we did...theres nothing the police can do to stop them..."
Nathan sat behind a large desk. The tips of his fingers together taking in the news he was just told. The room was dark, the only light coming from the small lamp across the room. He slowly rose from his chair and walked over to pore himself a drink.
"Nathan?" A woman in her mid-forties walked into the room, "Who was on the phone?"
Nathan poured the liquor down his throat, his face cringing at the taste. "Call a meeting...we have a problem."
