Haley was currently working with a few students who were in the same class. As they were doing some worksheets, Haley was on her laptop IMing her friend Katrina when another IM popped up. It was from her mom.

LYDIAMOM: HALEY? IS THAT YOU?

Haley typed back. ILOVE23: YEAH MOM IT'S ME. WHAT'S UP?

A few seconds later, Haley gasped at what her mom typed.

LYDIAMOM: YOUR UNCLE IS GETTING OUT OF JAIL.

"Hey Haley." Haley jumped and turned around to see Nathan coming to her.

"Hi. I thought you had basketball practice?"

"I did, but it got cut short. Tim beat up Jake. Why? I have no clue. You seem tense. Anything I can do to help?"

"No." Haley was thinking about telling her boyfriend about her uncle, but decided not to. I mean he wasn't even out yet. She was probably worried for nothing. "It's just been a long day. I'm tired. I think that maybe I can sleep at your place tonight. In your bed. Maybe as little clothing as physically possible."

Nathan was a bit confused. Did she want to sleep naked? "How little are we talking here?"

"Nothing at all." Haley smiled hesitantly. Haley saw his face. She knew he knew something was up. "Nathan, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about. I should get back to tutoring these kids. Go home. I'll just sleep at home."

"Haley I….."

"Nathan." Haley was getting angry. "I am telling you nicely to go. Now I would go before I break up with you." Nathan just put up his hands and left the library.

Haley went back to her computer and wrote her mom back. ILOVE23: IS HE REALLY? PLEASE MOM!

LYDIAMOM: YES, COME HOME ASAP.

Haley nodded and shut it off. She looked at her students. "You three done?" They all nodded. "Okay why don't you guys hold on to those. I'll look them over on Monday. Enjoy your weekend." They left Haley to think about their thoughts. "Haley, what are you going to do?"

"Talking to yourself?" Haley jumped when she heard Lucas. "You really need to stop doing that. People are starting to think your weird."

"They already think that. But I'm more worried about Uncle Bradley." Haley saw Lucas tense up. "He's… he might get out of jail. And I sort of bitched out Nathan because of it."

"Why?"

"Now that I'm older…"

"Haley, he's not gonna come after you."

"What if he does. I'm not sure I can handle this. I have been living with this for such a along time. I've always had this thought that he would come back. But I never thought it would actually come true, you know. I'm not sure I'll be able to handle this. When he gets out."

"Hales, after what he did to you, I highly doubt they're considering letting this freak out."

"What if they do?"

"Then your big strong boyfriend will protect you." Haley nodded.

Later that night, Nathan was in his apartment and he was pacing around. He heard a knock on his door. He ran to open it. "Hey." He saw Haley. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I need to talk to you."

"Come on in." Haley came into the room and sat on the couch. Nathan followed suit. "What's going on?"

Haley looked over at Nathan. "I want to break up with you."
