In the streets of New York, the rain was pouring hard without mercy. It seems that the skies are falling down. Each ice cold drop comes down hard onto the earth surface. The darkness made it even harder for a person to travel, whether on foot or commute. No one in their right mind would want to be out in that kind of weather. No one except for one. A honey coloured head girl was standing by the bus station, seemingly waiting for someone. Her hair was damp and she had a worn look on her face. Her hands clamped together for warmth while her legs shifts from one to the other to make sure she could feel them. The only thing that looks remotely alive is her eyes. They seem dangerously alert, as if she is expecting of a mishap to go wrong.
Not a moment too soon, an old truck came in. A man and a boy of 17 came rushing out towards the girl.
"Haley!" They both yelled. One of which had the look of worry and the other had the look of fear.
"Lucas! Keith!" The girl ran towards them. Flinging herself at them embracing them for dear life. "I'm so sorry for troubling you guys" She cried out. "I'm so sorry:"
"There is nothing to be sorry about, Hales" The man known to be Keith hushed out. "It's okay, we're gonna bring you home where it's safe"
"It's my entire fault" She whispered, "I should have known, it's all my fault"
The boy's hold on her tightens. His heart beat raced without any intension of slowing down. When he got her phone call that night nothing made him angrier or more scared then what she told him. He could not believe that it actually happened to her. Off all people it happened to his Haley. His dear sweet Haley. The one person who was the second person to his mother that he loved with all his heart.
"Shhh, no it's not" Walking her towards the truck without loosening his grip on her. "Let's not talk about it now, let's just get you into the truck and get you warm"
"Yea, I'll get your things" Keith agreeing while hauling her only luggage in the truck. "You just rest in there okay?"

The room was dark as the door of the hotel room opened. He was expecting the girl to be in bed sound asleep just like every other night. Face streaked with tears as she hugged onto a framed picture. A picture of herself and a boy, smiling at one another. Oh how he hated seeing her so depressed. Though no matter what the beauty within her would shine bright.
As he turned on the lights no one was to be seen. Everything there was spotless and clean. Shock was the first emotion he felt and then the anger boiled through his vein as the situation finally came crashing into his system. She left him. That was the only thing that was imprinted into his head when he slammed the door shut as he rushed out of the room. She actually dared to leave him.
ooOOooOOoo
The ride back was quiet for the most part. Lucas had his arms around her the whole way while she slept. Her gentle breathing was the only sound he wanted to hear. It was the only thing that gave him comfort in the whole mess of emotions he felt. He never once heard the rain falling outside the truck. He didn't feel the bumps on the road nor did he even care. All that he cares about was that Haley is with him and that she was safe with him.
'I won't let anything happen to you hales' He thought angrily, 'No one will ever harm you again sweetie'
"How is she?" A whispered broke the silence in the car and Lucas's thoughts.
"She's sound asleep" Lucas answered quietly as not to wake her. She had a peaceful look on her face and he would hate to see it be wiped off by the fear that she felt. He was sure that since the incident, there has been a lot of sleepless night.
"How bout you?" Keith took a glance at Lucas before looking back towards the road. "How are you holding up?"
"Honestly?" Lucas asked, never taking his eyes away from the girl in his arms. "I am much more of a wreck now then I was before I saw her, damn it Keith!"
"I know what you mean" Keith sighed. "Have you called your mother? It's close to sunrise and I'm sure she's sick worried back home"
"Yea, she must be" Lucas finally let at least one of his arms go of Haley to fish out his cell phone. Dialling his house number, he gave a kiss on to Haley's forehead before proceeding to the coming conversation he will have with his mother.
"Hello?" That was all Lucas could say before he was bombarded with questions by a loud hysteric voice vibrated out the phone, making Haley stir a little bit.
"Mom calm down, everything is fine" Was Lucas's attempt to calm down his frantic mother. "Haley is fine; she's fast asleep right now. Yea, we're on our way home, so I just want to tell you that everything is fine now"
A silence pause was present. "Okay mom, I'll call you if there is anything. Bye"
With that, the rest of the ride back was quiet as no one wanted to disturb the sleeping beauty. The peaceful atmosphere was only the calm before the storm. There would be conflicts once they got back to Tree Hill, due to heartbreaks, misunderstanding and distrust.
