When Haley pulled up she was more than a little bit surprised to see the exact person that she had been thinking about and the same person whom Karen had told her she was in love with. Chris Keller stood at the door about to knock when he heard her close her door to the car. He turned around and gave her the same smile that made her heart skip.

"Haley, I've missed you." He said and Haley almost passed out right there.

"Chris." She whispered. Haley knew that her phone call had made him come all the way here. She also knew it was now or never she had to tell him the truth.

"There's something I really need to talk to you about." She said only hoping he wouldn't take off and abandon her and their son.

"Okay what do you want to talk about?" He asked. He could tell she was nervous. She always held her hands like she was now when she was nervous. Haley always did that before going on stage. Chris had always thought it was cute.

Haley looked down and tried not to lose her nerve.

"Um you're probably going to hate me, because I lied and the way we left things that night." She whispered the last part. She wasn't even looking at him.

"Haley what's going on? I'm worried about you." He said honestly walking towards her. Her eyes welled up again with tears as she looked up at him.

"I have a son." She said waiting for his reaction. He looked surprised for a second then completely calm.

"I already knew you were going to have a baby. Do you not remember your car breaking down and us all ending up in Honey grove Texas to get your friend Face?" He asked feeling sad because he had to watch her with Nathan. Haley laughed at the mistaken nickname for Mouth. No matter what he always made her laugh. She also remembered it being too difficult to try to keep her composure around him. As soon as he saw her bump she saw how much it hurt him. Little did he know.

"His name is Mouth." She said looking at him smiling weakly. He laughed.

"Right Mouth." He nodded. "Haley you know I couldn't hate you just because you have a son. As soon as I saw you guys I figured you hadn't just gained a bunch of weight." He tried to joke. Something told him that Haley wasn't all right and that feeling didn't sit well with him at all.

"He's about a month old and he's beautiful." She said keeping eye contact with him.

"Good Hales congratulations." Chris said trying his hardest to show her he was happy for her.

"He has big blue eyes and a full head of blonde hair." She choked out finally losing it. Chris' first instinct was to go to her and hold her in his arms, but he stopped. She's married with a new baby boy. His feelings for her needed to end.

"Haley what's wrong? That's great he sounds amazing." He said walking slowly until he was right in front of her. He didn't understand why she was crying. She looked up at hoping he would just know so she didn't have to say it. She wanted him to read her mind and immediately figure it out. Chris looked down at her and saw her sadness and her regret. What could she be regretting? She was dying to tell him something he could tell. He noticed her voice crack as she said full head of blonde hair. Haley has blonde hair. Why would that be bad? Nathan has blue eyes it sounds like a perfect combination between them.

"My natural hair color is brown." She said almost reading his mind like she knew he was trying to figure this out. So their kid got a random recessive gene by getting blonde hair instead of brown why was she so upset telling him this? Then like clockwork Haley pulled out her wallet and showed Chris a picture of James Lucas Scott.

"Haley he's beautiful you should be so happy." He said barely glancing at the picture. This was getting to be too hard for him to be here with her while she was upset.

"Chris look at him closely." She said fighting back another sob. He took a closer look to really analyze the picture. He was an adorable little boy. He did have a full head of blonde hair. It was the exact same shade of blonde as Chris's but he ignored that. His eyes were lighter than Nathan's but that always happened with kids didn't it? Haley's eyes were brown. Chris's eyes were a lighter blue.

He tore his eyes from the picture to look at Haley. Her expression was begging him to tell her he knew why she called. She was trying to stop crying and failing at that. Then something clicked. Chris's eyes widened as he looked at the picture again then back to Haley and he understood. She wasn't just upset about telling him she had a son. She was upset because she was telling him she had his son.

Lucas and Peyton had decided to head to the river court to calm the fort down there and explain to everyone what has really been going on with Nathan and Brooke. Leaving out all of Brooke's personal secrets. Neither of them liked that rumors were going to be started about Brooke and Nathan so they needed to set the record straight. Nathan had objected at first saying that it wasn't their problem to correct people or defend them against rumors. Instantly Lucas told him that they were brothers and he had his back. As usual Brooke and Peyton shared a long hug goodbye like they would never see each other again. They had grown a lot closer since the prom and after all Peyton's learned about Brooke she was going to be there for her throughout this whole mess.

"Do you want to go home and get some clothes or something?" I asked him after we'd been sitting on the couch for a while after the other two left.

"I probably should shouldn't I?" Nathan said. I knew he didn't want to face anyone or anything. I wish we could stay here forever not dealing with the outside world. Unfortunately that wouldn't happen.

"I'm so sorry about everything." I said sincerely. So much has happened and on top of all of my secrets I told him about, Haley has been keeping a huge secret from him too. I'm surprised he even trusts me anymore for lying to him for years.

"It's not your fault." He said looking at me. I still felt horrible.

"I'm sorry I lied to you for all those years." I whispered. He brought my hand up to his lips and kissed it softly and did the same with my scarred wrist.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you." He whispered back. I didn't think we should get into all of that again. The emotions I felt while telling him were more intense than anything I've ever felt.

"It wasn't your fault." I said repeating what he said to me. He leaned down to capture my lips and I smiled into the kiss. Nobody kissed like Nathan Scott. I definitely looked forward to being able to do this for the rest of my life. That thought made my heart skip a beat.

Unfortunately our moment got interrupted when the phone started ringing. "Don't answer it." He said and kissed me again. I didn't want to, but the phone kept ringing. Although Nathan kissing down my neck was a nice distraction I was getting really annoyed and was forced to push him back.

"Let me get rid of the person and I'll come right back and make it worth your while." I said giving him a seductive grin. His smile grew as I got up to answer the phone.

"Hello." I said feeling happy. Being around Nathan just made me feel good all the time.

"Brooklyn long time no talk." The voice of Victoria Davis said sarcastically. My good mood was immediately gone hearing my mother's voice.

"What do you want?" I asked annoyed. I didn't even think she had the apartment phone number.

"Oh is that anyway to talk to your mother?" She asked icily. I rolled my eyes and saw Nathan's worried expression. I mouth mom to him and he understood. He knew me too well.

"Yeah in my opinion it is what can I do for you?" I asked wanting to get off the phone with her.

"Your father and left an important box when we moved to California and one of your father's business associates is coming to get it. You still have it don't you?" She asked.

"Yes I still have it. If it's so important then why did you leave it behind?" I asked getting angry with her. She always made me feel awful about myself.

"Don't get mouthy with me Brooke we left Tree Hill in a hurry and it was in the attic, but he should be there soon to pick it up from your apartment so make sure you're there when he gets there." She demanded.

"I'll be here all night when's he getting here and who is it?" I asked still annoyed. I ran a hand over my face. I hated dealing with my parent's crap. Not like they cared about me anyway.

"Good he should be there within minutes. I had just gotten off the phone with him when I called you. He said he hadn't seen you in so long he was excited. He remembered you from all those Christmas parties we had for your dad's company." She said absentmindedly. My thoughts couldn't help but go to Rick. I couldn't ever enjoy another Christmas after that. It went from being my favorite holiday to most hated. I was immediately in fear that by some horrible chance he still worked with my dad that he was the one coming.

'He got transferred to Florida my parents are in California. It can't be him Brooke relax.' I told myself.

"Brooke are you still there?" Victoria yelled. It snapped me out of my trance. I looked up and Nathan was now standing in front of me. He must have felt my fear.

"I'm still here." I said to her covering up my momentary freak out.

"Okay well I should get going I have a dinner party to go to with your father." She said smugly. She enjoyed being a trophy wife.

"Bye." I said and hung up.

"Baby-." I cut him off before he could ask.

"I'm fine." I said looking at him.

"B don't lie to me." He said stepping even closer and resting his hands on my waist. I took a deep breath.

"I'm not lying Nate I'm really okay." I said convincingly. I was fine I shouldn't have even let my mind go there when it's impossibility.

He stared at me wondering if I really was fine. He could read me pretty well by now.

"My mom said that one of my dad's business associates was coming by to grab a box full of files for my parents then taking it back to California." I said hoping he would drop it and not be so worried.

"Do you have the box?" He asked ignoring the bad feeling he had.

"Yeah my parents left it at our old house when they moved and I always kept it thinking it was probably important." I said grateful he wasn't pressing the issue.

"Who's coming to get it?" He asked. He didn't want to leave her alone with some person she didn't know coming here.

"Oh my mom didn't say who it was but he should be here soon." I said thinking it was weird even after I asked she didn't give me a name.

"I'm not going back to my house to get my stuff until after this guy leaves." He said determined. I smiled at his protectiveness.

"Baby I'm fine if you want to hurry up and go now you'll probably make it back before whoever it is even gets here then you can stay after he leaves." I said looking forward to our alone time once he got back.

"I don't think I should leave you here. It's no problem I can wait a few minutes." He said shrugging.

"But the sooner you leave the sooner you come back and we can get back to what we started." I said throwing my arms around his neck and kissing him.

"Are you sure?" He asked against my lips. I smiled and nodded as my amazing mood was coming back once again because of him.

"And I promise to keep my promise." I whispered before crashing our lips together in a heated kiss. He picked me up and set me on the counter kissing me harder. My hands went for the bottom of his shirt and I slipped it off him as he trailed kisses down my neck I bit back a moan as our lips met again. His hands grabbed the bottom of my shirt when I pulled away suddenly and jumped off the counter before he could say anything at all. I opened the door for him with a huge teasing smile.

"That was a little preview for when you get your hot ass back here Scott." I said happily smiling the whole time knowing I had him.

He didn't look pleased for a second because he didn't like to be teased. But he smirked and nodded before picking up his shirt and putting it back on and walking over to the door with his keys in his hand. He leaned in and sucked the spot right behind her ear and felt her shudder. Nathan saw her hand rise to pull him down by his neck to bring him closer to her when he pulled away smiling in triumph.

"Two can play that game baby girl." He said and leaned in to give me a quick peck and walked away smiling at me.

"That wasn't very nice Nate." I said still in awe of how good that really felt. I couldn't wait for him to get back.

"Don't dish it if you can't take it B." He said smirking before turning around to go to his car feeling overjoyed about him and Brooke. This was the way they had always been with each other and he really missed it. I grinned and closed the door after he got into his car and drove off. I went into the utility closet to get that box of files they needed.

I hoped Nathan wouldn't be too long. Out of boredom I turned on the TV and watched the newest episode of the Hills while I waited. After 10 minutes there was a knock on the door and I jumped up with the box and walked over to it. As soon as I opened it my entire world came crashing down on me. Rick was standing on the other side with that exact same smile he always wore. My heart stopped entirely I couldn't breathe.

"Brookie Davis I sure missed you." He said pervertedly checking me out up and down. As soon as I heard him talk I was able to function again and I grabbed the door and tried to close it, but he stuck his hand out and came inside closing it behind him. I was absolutely fear struck I didn't know what to do.

"Nice place you've got here now point in the direction of the bedroom we've got unfinished business." He said taking off his jacket. I felt like I was in some sick dream and no matter what I did I couldn't wake up. But thankfully my brain started working again. I dropped the box and opened up the door to run outside. He was fast and he pulled me back before I could get out. I opened my mouth to scream and he covered it like he did the first time when I was 9.

"Now Brookie you don't want to spoil the fun do you?" He asked pulling me back. I started crying instantly and I tried to get away but he was way stronger. I continued to struggle as he dragged me into my and Peyton's bedroom and threw me on the bed.

"I'm not going to let you do this to me anymore!" I yelled and raised my hand to punch him, but he grabbed me and ripped open my shirt and forced me down.

"Shut up! I've been waiting 4 god damn years for this you slut!" He yelled and hit me in the face. He undid his pants as I tried to kick him away, but nothing I did was working. I was scared out of my mind and I was so mad at myself for making Nathan leave. I needed him here I needed him to protect me.

"Stop it! Please don't do this to me again." I begged through all my tears. He started taking my shorts off and I tried my best to close my legs so he couldn't. He forced them off of me as I continued to fight him and cry begging and pleading for him to stop.

"If you don't stop complaining I will kill you!" He yelled as he put his hands around my throat and entered me way to hard. I tried to scream out in pain but I was losing all my air. Rick was thrusting harder and my tears kept pouring out. I had stopped breathing entirely while he was still raping me. The last thing I remember saying was "Help me Nate, please come back and save me." In the weakest voice possible. The last image I saw was Nathan kissing me goodbye before going home to get his stuff.

Ahhh so I'm stopping it there and don't worry I really hope to get another chance to update this again. Please review it means a lot. Thank you so much for reading!!
