I didn't get as much feedback as I was hoping to get. I understand it was just a prologue and it was extremely short but I was hoping I'd get a little more than two. Thank you to the people who did review I'm glad to see you're interested. I am ALWAYS open to constructive criticism and hearing people's ideas. Of course if you make a suggestion I like and use in the story I will always give credit to where it came from. (:

On another side note, I am EXTREMELY aware of how serious rape is, and how damaging it can be to a person. I am in no way trying to offend anyone by the topic since it will clearly come up a lot in this story.

The last thing everybody in this story is either 25 or 26. (I will specify in farther chapters)

Also I forgot to include this in the prologue so here it is

Haley sat in a quiet room. A long plastic beige table and two chairs on each side of the table was all that filled the room. The walls and floor matched each other, and gloomy gray color. Like a rainy day. Haley supposed it was appropriate for what she was feeling. The last think she took notice of was the long mirror that stretched across the wall on one side. She didn't know too much but she'd watched enough CSI and Law and Order to know that it was a two way mirror. Suddenly with the thought she got self-conscious and looked back down at the table.

It wasn't more than a minute later when an officer had entered the tiny room. He was tall, tan, her eyes followed up to where his face was. He had a bit of stubble but it suited him, his eyes were a deep blue and his hair was black. He looked exhausted like he'd been working for quite some time. He walked over taking to the opposite side of the table and spoke.

"Miss James my name's Nathan Scott. Before I proceed I want to say I know you must be going through a lot and if it would make you feel more comfortable I could a female officer to come in an interview you if you'd like."

"Um no. It…It's okay."

Hearing her response he pulled the seat out from the table and sat across from her.

"Miss James.."

"Haley."

"Haley, I know this is difficult for you so if you need to stop you just tell me."

After seeing her nod in understanding Nathan continued on with his questioning.

"Did you know the attacker or was it random?"

"He uh I work with him."

"Where is it that you work?"

"Tree Hill High School"

Sadness washed over Nathan's face which didn't go unnoticed by Haley. Not only did this guy attack and rape her but he was around high school aged all the time.

"Okay why don't you explain as much as you can remember about the attack?"

Haley nodded her head but remained quiet for a minute before speaking again. "He kept asking me to go out with him. I didn't really know him to well but I thought he was cute, and I've worked with him the past three years I thought he was a good guy. We were having a good night; laughing and he was such a gentlemen. But then he when he dropped me off he came in and we were kissing but he wouldn't stop. He got violent….He uhh..I'm sorry."

Nathan grabbed a tiny pack of tissues from his pocket passing it to Haley while he spoke. "There's no need to be sorry. Would you like some water or something?"

"Yeah thank you."

"No problem I'll be back in a few."

Nathan stood up walking to the door and looking back toward Haley before leaving. He stood with his back against the door for a few minutes before heading over to the break room and grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. When he reentered the room he found Haley staring down at the phone in her lap. He walked back over handing her the water and taking a seat again.

"I'm sorry again for that."

"Hey you don't have to be sorry. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah it's okay."

"Good. That's good. There's no rush whenever you're ready you can go on."

"After I asked him to leave he uh hit me, he grabbed me around the neck and through me down."

A mixture of anger and sadness began to form on Nathan's face as Haley told him the story.

"I begged him to let me go. I told him I wouldn't tell anyone that he hit me if he would just go. But he just hit me again." Haley began to feel nauseous replaying the events.

"He said that if I didn't do what he said he would kill me. He forced himself in my mouth, and he hit me. He ripped my shirt and my pants off and threw me on the couch. He..he forced himself inside me and started hitting me and biting my neck and he my chest. I tried to scream for help but he said if I yelled he would make it worse on me and he started punching my stomach…"

By now Haley was sobbing uncontrollably, Nathan stood up walking to the other side of the table and wrapped his arms around her letting her sob into his chest. Her tears seeping through his uniform and soaking the wife beater that he wore under it.

"Haley if this guy knows where you live you shouldn't be home tonight. Is there someone that could pick you up?"

She nodded her head than spoke through her tears; "I called my friend. I'm going to spend the night at her house for a few days."

"Okay. Do you two need someone to escort you two to your house to grab a few things?"

"No after he left I packed a bag and came here."

"Hey."

Haley looked up at Nathan, his eyes staring right through her.

"You need to know what you did, reporting this it was an extremely courageous thing to do. It's going to stop him from hurting anyone else."

Haley was able to get through explaining the events of the night after a while and now it was toward the end of everything. He hated having to ask the next question, but it had to be done. He had already gotten the name of her attacker, Damian West, he wrote down the description and asked what position he held at work. It was all that was left to ask.

"I'm so sorry but I have to ask you this next question. Was there and ejaculation?"

Haley nodded her head slowly the tears forming in her eyes again.

"Are you using any form of contraception?"

"No…There hasn't been a need for it.."

Before Nathan could speak again there was a knock on the door.

"Yeah?"

"Officer Scott there's a Brooke Davis here for Miss James."

"Okay."

Haley stood up when she heard this. She just wanted to be around people she knew and trusted.

Nathan walked her out and when Brooke saw Haley she immediately ran up to her pulling her into a hug. "Oh my god Hales are you okay what happened."

"Can um can we just go home."

Brooke looked up at Nathan. "Is she done officer?"

"Yeah I would like to speak with you privately though. I can um walk you to the car."

"Okay."

The three turned to leave out the front door. Snow had started to fall on the ground and the air was chilly. Haley looked up at Brooke before speaking. "I'm really sorry I ruined your night Brooke."

"Hales stop it. You did no such thing." After they go to the car Brook helped Haley into the passenger side and shut the door once she was fully in. Brooke turned back towards Nathan allowing him to speak.

"She said this happened at her place; so I'd like to give you my card and take down your number. I don't think it's smart if she's home before we find this guy."

"Okay."

Nathan passed Brooke the car and took out a pen to write both her number and Haley's cell numbers on. She silently read the card to herself before speaking. "Scott? Any relation to a Lucas?"

"Yeah, He's my brother actually you know him?"

"Sort of, small world I guess. But back to Hales."

"Right she um said she's not on birth control but an ejaculation did occur. So It's best if you take her to her obgyn tomorrow and just get the plan B."

"Right, I will. Thank you for taking care of her til I go here. You um look exhausted."

Nathan looked at his watch before speaking, "No thank you necessary. I am however headed home now."

"Shift over?"

"About nine hours ago actually."

"Oh wow, go home go to sleep."

"She's probably going to have trouble sleeping tonight so if that's the case you call me I know someone who might be able to talk to her if she should need it."

"Thanks."

Brooke got in her car and pulled away, looking over at a sleeping Haley.

Nathan pulled into his driveway; looking over at the time before shutting the engine off. 3:47 in the morning where the time had gone he had no idea. He locked the door and opened up the back seat to where his six month old son was sleeping soundly in his car seat. Careful not to wake him he grabbed the diaper bag, and his unlatched the car seat from its base. He walking in the front door turning on the all light and dropping the bags before heading down the hall to the sleeping baby's room.

Lifting the baby from the car seat and removing the tiny hat and coat he placed him in his crib. The baby began to whine but quickly fell back asleep after Nathan had turned on the mobile above his crib. "Shh, Daddy's here."

He walked back into the living room and took a seat on the couch. He looked around the oversized home and threw his head back in frustration and exhaustion. How was it that the world had no problem punishing people like Haley and himself? Nathan believe he was a good guy sure he made mistakes but everybody did. He genuinely tried to do right by everyone and he got the impression from Haley and by the amount of love Brook had for her friend that she was a good person too. But here she was reporting a rape and here he was coming home to an empty house, one he'd brought for his girlfriend who abandoned him and their son two weeks after he was born. The world wasn't fair.

Nathan got up taking his everything off but his boxers and wife beater than turn on the baby monitor like every night, lay down in his bed and tried to find sleep. But thoughts of Haley kept running through his mind. What was wrong with him? This was a rape victim. Yet he couldn't get her off his mind. He knew the last thing she would want was a relationship. That's if she even trusted men anymore. He tried reasoning with himself he had always gotten sad when victims of abuse or rape had come in. After all he believed that there was only one way to treat a lady and it was with love and gentleness. But never had they consumed his thoughts at night so why was Haley so different? Why did he find himself wishing he were there to have protected her?

This chapter was a bit longer. As the story moves along the chapters will get longer. Let me know what you all think(:
