"Haley?" Nathan asked desperately as he ran into the large house she once shared with her parents and six other siblings. But now spent most of her time alone in.
"Baby, where are you?" he continued haunted by the phone call he had received earlier from a distressed Haley.
"Nathan" Haley sobbed. "Come, now- please, I'm afraid he'll come back."
Nathan had no idea what Haley was talking about or who "he" was, but he knew one thing. If someone had hurt Haley, he was going to kick their ass.
"Haley can you hear me?" he called out again.
"Nathan?" a familiar voice called out from the front door.
"Lucas? What the hell are you doing here?" he asked.
"Haley called me, she said she needed help."
"She called me too- but I can't find her."
"What the hell happened?" Lucas asked.
"Dude, I have no idea. What did she say to you?"
"That she was hurt and she needed a ride to the ER. She wasn't making much sense. She was hysterical."
"Oh God" Nathan sighed as tears filled his eyes. "If someone did this to her…"
"Nathan, she probably just hit her head or something. She's a little confused. She'll be okay, we just have to get her some help…"
"Nathan, when she was talking to me, she said she was a afraid that he would come back."
"What?"
"Someone hurt her man. We need to find her, now!"
"Okay" he said breathlessly. "I'll check up in her bedroom. Why don't you check down here."
"Okay" Nathan responded as he ran hurriedly to the other side of the house.
"Hales?" Lucas asked softly as he opened her bedroom door. "Oh God" he gasped as he saw the state the room was in.
"Hales?" he said louder as he walked into the room.
"Oh my God" he shouted. "Haley?" he said as he took a beaten and battered Haley into his arms.
"Hales, sweetie, can you hear me? Talk to me!" he said through tears as he rocked her gently. "Nathan!" Lucas called out. "I found her, she needs help?"
"What's wrong man?" he asked as he ran into the room. "Haley? Haley, baby? Oh, God! What happened?"
"I don't know" Lucas said. "She's unconscious."
"But who would've, why?" Nathan gasped as he knelt next to her.
"Nathan" Lucas said in a hushed tone. "Nathan, look- look at her clothes."
"What?" Nathan responed. "Oh God" he gasped as he figured out what Lucas was referring to. Haley's dress had been torn right down the side. "No!" Nathan yelled. "Who could have done this!?" he said as he started to sob.
"It's going to be okay" Lucas whispered into Haley's ear. "It's all over now Hales, we're going to get you help…"
