Chapter 4~Telling Nathan

Haley stepped inside and heard the bell ring behind her. She looked over to the counter and saw Nathan sitting there with his back towards her. When Nathan heard the bell ring he turned around. When he saw Haley's face his face lit up. But would that smile remain on his face when Haley tells him what happened to her?

"Hey Haley!" Nathan said getting off the stool.

"Hey Nathan" Haley said with a weak smile.

Nathan walked over to Haley and gave her a kiss and a big hug. Haley wanted to stay in his arms forever. She felt safe and protected. Just as they relased from the hug Lucas walked in. Nathan was a bit confused because he thought that this was going to be a date.

"Hales, what's Lucas doing here?" Nathan asked dumbfounded

"I...uh...asked him to come." Haley said getting tense.

"Why?" Nathan asked still confused

No repsonse came from Haley. She just stood there thinking about how she was going to tell Nathan. Lucas realized that she had tensed up and he began to walk over to Haley. He put his arm around her and Haley began to sob into his chest. Nathan was getting worried because he had never seen Haley like this before.

"Lucas whats wrong with Haley?" Nathan asked very concerned

"Haley needs to tell you something but I don't know if she can" Lucas said rubbing her back.

"What...what happened to her?" Nathan said getting worried.

Lucas lifted Haley off his chest and looked at her. Her eyes were read and her mascara was on her face. He took his sleeve and wiped her face. Then he sat her down at the nearest table. Nathan also sat.

"Haley are you sure you can tell Nathan?" Lucas said holding Haley's hand.

There was a moment of silence while Haley thought. She knew she had to tell him and she had to tell him tonight. It was now or never.

"I can do it" Haley repsonded.

Haley turned around and faced Nathan. When she saw the look on his face she wanted to just embrace him in a hug. But she couldn't. She had to tell him.

"Nathan....something happened t-t-o me last n-night" Haley stuttered out

"Haley, what, what happened to you?" Nathan said taking Haley's hand into his

"I was....." Haley stopped for a moment and closed her eyes.

Lucas looked at Haley and didn't think she could get it out. Just as he was about to tell Nathan himself Haley said it.

"I was....raped" Haley managed to say.

The look on Nathan's face would stay with Haley forever. He looked so scared but he also looked so angry. She didn't know what to do so she just cried. Nathan took Haley into his arms and embraced her in a long hug. Lucas just sat there as a tear rolled down his cheek. He hated seeing his friend like this. Nathan then finally said something.

"How....How did this happen?" Nathan said chokin back his salty tears

"It just...happened...i said no...and he..he..." Haley couldn't even say the rest. She just fell into Nathans arms. Nathan felt for Haley but he could never imagine how she must feel right now. She must feel used. When he finds out who did this they're going to pay.

"Who did this haley? Do you know?" Nathan asked rubbing her back.

There was a long period of silence.
