Her parents despised him. They couldn't even bear to look at him. They hated him more that most people could even dream of hating some one.

The feelings were mutual.

They hated him for taking her away from them and he hated them for hurting her, time and time again. They never cared about her. They were too selfish to think of someone other than themselves. That's part of the reason why they hated him so much. They hated him for tarnishing their image of the perfect family.

They were oblivious to how their actions were affecting her.

They never saw her cry at night. They never even noticed her puffy, red rimmed eyes. They never bothered to notice that their daughter seldom laughed, or even smiled for that matter.

She was sinking, sinking like in quicksand. No matter how she tried, she couldn't stop sinking, and to her dismay, to not a single soul was left to come save her.

One by one, they had all left. First her father, then her mother, next her parents' friends, Dan, Deb and Karen. And finally, her only friend Lucas.One by one, they all deserted her.

Everyone sympathized with her but no one had the courage to come and save her.

Sometimes she cried herself to sleep at night. She just wanted to stop feeling so lonely. She was a good student, she went to church every week, and she always helped others. She was the good girl. The child that would make any parent proud. And yet, no matter how much she tried, she could never please her parents. They always found something to pick apart. Slowly and steadily, over the years the fire in her dwindled until one day, it burned out. At that point, all her hopes, dreams were gone. She was just going through the motions. She has lost her will to fight in life. She only waited for that glorious day when all this would end. The day that she could leave this wretched world and move on to a better, happier place.

Little did she know that one day, heaven would come and grace itself on earth.

Heaven, is another name for Nathan Scott, a boy, or should I say a man, since he has the courage to do what many grown men would never be able to do.

He had the courage to fight for her.

It all started on a day, much like today, or any other day. It was just one more day out of the thousands that one encounters in their lifetime. However, this day was so much more in the life of sweet Haley James. This was the day that brought a new meaning to her formerly futile existence.

Nathan came like a storm and whisked her away to a world she had only dreamt about.

She was sitting on a bench near the docks, watching ships go by. She wanted to be in one of those ships. She wanted to sail away into the unknown. At least, get away from the mundane and utterly meaningless life she was leading. Everyone around her was moving on. Others around her age looked forward to parties, college and a whole new and exciting life that awaited them in the near future.

She envied them oh so much. She felt like she was stuck, enclosed in a tiny box from which she would never be able to escape. This was one of those days when all she wanted was to get away from all of her problems.

Suddenly, she was snapped out of her thoughts. Why? Because Nathan Scott was currently in the process of blatantly staring at her. She didn't know how long he'd been sitting there but she knew that he'd been there long enough to see the tears that were freely flowing from her eyes.
