Chapter 8

Haley walked straight over to Karen and hugged her. They headed outside to talk privately. Keith looked at Haley with a concerned look on his face. "Haley what happened to your arm."

Karen looked down at the red mark on Haley's arm where Nathan had been gripping her arm to keep her from leaving. "Nathan had ahold of her arm. Are you alright Haley?"

"Yeah Karen I'm fine. Where's Luke? He said he'd talk to me here. That's the only reason that I let you drop me off."

"Sweetie he didn't want to be on his ankle."

"Well I drove here. I'm going to head over there to check on him."

"Haley that isn't a very good idea."

"Oh, I get it he didn't want to see me. So he just didn't come."

"Sorry Haley, you know how stubborn he can be. He just couldn't handle seeing you with Nathan."

"Well he is my best friend and this is ridiculous. I'm going there and he will just have to deal with it.t"

"Okay, do you have your key to our house?"

"Yeah. Bye guys wish me luck."

Haley jumped into the car and headed to Luke's. Karen looked at Keith and hoped for some reassurance that everything would be okay. "So do you think it's okay to leave them alone."

"They have to work it out sooner or later. And for our sanity I hope it is sooner. Let's go enjoy the party all we can do now is wait and see."

**Okay I will try my hardest to make longer chapters. I should have at least one more chapter up tonight. I write them at work and then type them when I get home. I hope to have a chapter up by 7:00.
