Introduction
Haley looked at the picture frame beside her bed. It was of her and her boyfriend Chase. They were both smiling and Chase had his arm around her holding her close as if he didn't he would loose her forever. She then remembered the picture that had sat in the very frame less then one year ago. The one of short but beautiful Haley James, and the jet black haired, eerie blue eyed Nathan Scott holding her close and placing a kiss on Haley's cheek. Finally she got up and thought to herself maybe I should try and do something productive. She went into her kitchen and looked through the shelves trying to find just the right book. There it was "Haley's snack book. GET YOUR SNACK ON" She flipped through the pages and found just the recipe. Chex and my mix from my 5th grade year when Lucas yelled at me for loosing his homework. Ahh I was depressed for days and put chex in a bowl with all my favorite foods like chocolate chips and peanut butter and m&ms and brown sugar. My comfort food. She made it all and put it into a bowl. Sat down and started watching some teen soap opera. She heard the door open. There stood Lucas looking at her with curious eyes. She turned away and only let Lucas see her "good eye"
"Hey Hales, what wrong?" Lucas asked genuinely concerned.
"Why would you automatically assume something wrong?" She asked head still tipped to the side.
"Well you're eating you chex and junk and the last time you ate that was when you and Nathan well… You know…" Haley was about to rebuttal and flipped her face to look at him. Lucas gasped and clenched his fist. Looking at the not-so-attractive bruise place directly on Haley's right eye.
"Who did that to you?!" Lucas boomed.
"No one. I... Uh… Fell? Yeah on my way home from the gym. Hit a tree and fell." Haley stuttered trying to keep her cool. This has happen to her before. Just not to this extreme.
"Don't lie to me Haley. Was this him? Did he do this do you?" Lucas's volume increased more with every word.
"No I told you it was no one, now can you leave me alone I think I'm getting sick and I'd rather you not be here right now!"
"To hell I will hales. Tell me right now or god so help me I will get it out of him and not as nice as I am to you right now!" Luke's voice cracked.
"Lucas. Leave. NOW!" Haley gave him a hard shove. That did not do much to him. So since that didn't work she ran into the bathroom and locked the door. Lucas bolted towards it only to get a slam in his face.
"Haley. JUST LET ME IN!" He didn't just mean in the room. He meant in her life.
In the bathroom Haley called her closest friend Brook.
"Hales Bales!" Brook said in a cheery voice
"Brook… Luke…Found…Out…" Haley cried in between sniffles.
"Ill be right over" Haley hung up and heard a pound on door which made her jump. Lucas's was body slamming the door with all his weight. And knowing him, he could break that door down.
