Clay went on to explain what he did for ten years. He moved to Tree Hill, started middle school, met Quinn along the way, and is now a senior in high school. Quinn and him were engaged and then he started talking about our father. He was arrested and mom took off. So I was a child of the state, but our aunt and uncle would take custody of me for a little bit while Clay went back to school and took a leave of absence.

I was moving to Tree Hill with Lydia and James Davis. I would be living with them and my two cousins until Clay came back to get me. I would then move in with him and Quinn to their apartment in Tree Hill. I was nervous but excited, I was getting my family back, we were talking about lives when a man about fifty came in and told me that when it came time for my fathers trial I was to go on stand and discuss what he put me through.

Hailey's point of view~

I woke up this morning alone. Taylor had stayed at her boyfriends apartment, and my parents where in MIA. I got up and went to school, I was distracted when I got to school.

I kept zoning out while my teacher was talking, I got called on but before I could make up an answer the bell rang. When I got out of class my best friend Lucas was waiting outside.

Lucas Scott and I had been best friends since we were four years old. Since we were kids we've been inseparable so naturally in high school we had the exact same schedule. So I question why didn't he shake me out of it while I was mumbling in class?

He started to ask why I didn't pay attention at all during Mrs. Kingston's class. I fill him in quickly about how my parents ditched me and I had no idea why. I was exhausted and was in a really bad mood, I didn't want to deal with any one today. Lucas wouldn't stop questioning my every move I knew I was going to snap very soon. There goes Lucas with yet another question.

"Lucas, what is with the questions today? I DON'T KNOW WHATS GOING! STOP ASKING BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA! THEY HAVENT CALLED, TAYLOR IS GONE, CLAY AND QUINN ARENT ANSWERING THEIR PHONES EITHER! WHEN I FIND OUT YOU CAN BE THE FIRST ONE OKAY?"

I see him slink down averting my eyes. I know he's only worried about me but I told him what I knew and he wanted more than I could answer. At that time I noticed our friend Nathan.

"Did you guys here about the problem in New York?" Nathan asks. That boy is amazing he might not be the brightest guy but he makes up in being a total sweetheart. My best friend Peyton Sawyer was right behind him nagging him about how he was interrupting what looked like an important conversation.

"Shut-up Sawyer, apparently A.J. Davis was arrested"

HOLD-UP! Uncle Andrew was arrested? It couldn't be! My parents would have told me. But then again I would think my parents would bring me with them to see Brooke but I was wrong. After talking about this, Jake Jagelski showed up. He was another best friend who is dating Peyton.

Jake started asking how Brooke was doing but I didn't know. Out of my friends Jake and Peyton were the only ones who knew Brooke. Jake knew her because when we were little kids Brooke used to come to Tree Hill and hang out with Jake and me. Peyton knew her because she and Brooke had grown up in New York together. We ended up going to Karen's Diner. After arriving at the diner, we ordered our usual meals and then Jake and Peyton left because they had to pick up Jake's six month old daughter Jenny. And then Nathan and Lucas had to go back to their house because they had to practice for the game on Friday.

Brookes POV-

I am turning seventeen in a week. I'm a junior in high school, my dad has been arrested for child abuse and attempted murder on yours truly. My brother finally came back into my life, My mother left the day of said attempted murder and I'm moving to the middle of nowhere to live with my Uncle James and my Aunt Lydia and my cousins Taylor and Haley .

The last time I had been to Tree Hill was when I was six. That was the year my dad started hitting me. Boy, have things changed since then. Back then I was a happy go lucky kid, well that's what my friends parents said about me. God I haven't really had a real friend in forever. My last best friend was Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer, she was like family to me. Her and I, well let's just say we could tell each other everything. She moved when we were eleven and kept in contact for two years after that but only by video chat and phone calls. She was actually the only friend I had that slightly knew that my bruises might not be from my sports.

The first two years of my dad abusing me, I couldn't always cover the bruises. So some people saw them but never asked because back then I was in Cheerleading, Ballet, and gymnastics so everyone assumed it was from falling. It's crazy how much things change, because back then I lived for those three things. I still practice Ballet privately because as much at tights, tutus, leotards and make up cover you, you can still see all my scars.

Last night James and Lydia had me released from the hospital and took me to the hotel room. From the room I was staying I could hear James talking to Lydia about me. But just now it got eerily quite like right before dad would walk in the house.
