Lucas and Nathan now knew for sure that Tim's brother Zack had raped
Peyton, so they figured they'd go kick Tim and Zack's ass before the cops
took Zack into custody. They drove to Tim's house in Nathan's Black
Explorer, once they got there they found Tim and Zack sitting outside, with
the cocky looks still on there faces.
"We've been waiting for the wonderful Scott brothers to grace us with their
presence," Zack chuckled.
"This isn't a social call," Lucas said angrily, pulling Zack off the steps
and throwing him against the house.
"Awe, is your big bastard brother mad?" Tim asked Nathan, Nathan didn't
respond with words, he just hit him and then all 4 boys just went at it.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?" Tim's Stepmother screamed at the boys, "I just called
the police, so I suggest you Scott boys get out of here NOW!"
Before Nathan and Lucas could get away they heard the sirens, before they
knew it, they were all in cuffs.

"Haley, I can't believe this." Peyton said with tears running down her
face.
"I know Peyton, but you have to believe everything is going to be okay, I
am here for you, and so is Lucas." Haley said, taking Peyton's hand, trying
to comfort her.
"I know but, Haley I haven't talked to Lucas since the night it happened, I
am honestly scared." Peyton told her friend.
Haley looked at Peyton, confused she asked, "Why would you be scared of
him, you don't think he would hurt you, do you?"
Peyton shook her head, "no, no not at all, I'm scared that he isn't going
to love me anymore because, well I was with another person."
"Peyton, it wasn't by choice, you were raped, and Lucas loves you more then
anything in the world. Trust me, and by the way he's looking for Zack as we
speak." Haley reassured her friend.
"Oh my god, Lucas is going to kill him isn't he?" Peyton asked, with worry
in her voice
"You could say that." Haley laughed, noticing Peyton was closing her eyes.
"Peyton your tired, go to sleep, I will be back later okay?"
"Okay," Peyton answered and then began to talk again, "Haley, tell Lucas I
said I love him."
Haley shook her head, "I will."
Haley walked out of the hospital room, she couldn't stand seeing her friend
like that, but yet she was worried about what kind of trouble Lucas and
Nathan were getting into.

"Lucas and Nathan Scott, your father is here." The police officer told
them, as he opened the door to their cell.
"Boys, what do you have to say for yourselves?" Dan asked.
"Dad, he raped Peyton to get back at me and Luke, we couldn't let him get
away with it." Nathan pleaded with his father.
"Boys, we said no trouble!" Dan paused for a second; taking in what his son
had said,
"Wait a second, who raped Peyton?"
"Zack Smith raped her, the night you and uncle Keith got into the fight
with Mr. Smith and his brother." Lucas told his dad, during the past few
days Dan and Lucas were trying to work out their issues, on occasions Luke
even called Dan dad.
"Oh, I didn't know it was him, I'm sorry boys." He sighed, running his
fingers through his hair. "I will let this go because of that, but I do not
want anymore trouble from either of you. My sons will not stoop to the
Smiths level, do you understand?" Dan said pointing at both of his sons.
"Yes dad." Both boys said at the same time.
With that all three Scott's walked out of the police station. Lucas
couldn't help but think how weird this all was, he called Dan dad now, well
not all the time but, a lot. He couldn't help but think how his mom was
going to feel when she came home.

"How is she?" Lucas asked, coming to sit beside Haley.
Haley smiled, "she's fine." She stole a glance at Nathan who quickly broke
the connection. "What took you guys so long?"
They both looked at her, avoiding the question.
Haley shook her head, shock coming over her expression. "Don't even tell
me."
They both gave a nod.
"This is the second time you've been in prison since you've started hanging
out!" She threw her hands up in the air, "When's the third going to be, on
my birthday?"
Lucas sighed, "Sorry."
"They deserved it," Nathan added quietly.
Haley's expression softened, it was good to hear Nathans voice. "At least
you had a reason."
"Can I go see her?"
"Of course," She responded to Lucas with a smile, "She's expecting you"
He turned to go into the room, she held up a finger and said, "Luke.she
wanted me to tell you she loves you."
Lucas smiled before entering the hospital room.
Silence.
Nathan sat down beside Haley, bringing his finger to touch a stain of blood
on his forehead. He winched and it didn't go unnoticed by Haley.
She furrowed her eyebrows, concern sweeping over her face. "Here," She
grabbed his arm, leading him to another room. "Let me fix that."
She took out a medicated alcohol cotton swab and dabbed it on his cut.
He winced.
"Awe, is big bad Nathan actually admitting to pain?"
"Maybe," He shrugged, compressing a small laugh.
Silence.
She put down the cotton swab; tracing her fingers over his skin and feeling
him relax into the touch. She coughed, removing her fingers and realizing
exactly what she was doing. She leaned over the counter, got a bandage and
applied it to Nathan's cut.
"Thanks," He muttered, turning around to face her.
"So." she said, looking away. "I miss you," she mumbled quietly.
"Huh?" He arched his eyebrow, "say that again, your talking to low."
"I said," she paused, catching his eyes with hers. "I said that I miss
you." She looked at a sign of change in his features and when she found
none she sighed. "But I guess you don't feel the same way and I don't blame
you."
"Did I ever say that I didn't?"
"Do you?" Her eyes lit up with hope and she swallowed the lump forming in
her throat.
"I--," Nathan started.
Peyton, so they figured they'd go kick Tim and Zack's ass before the cops
took Zack into custody. They drove to Tim's house in Nathan's Black
