A/N: Thank you, to all my reviewers, again! You guys are what made me get this far. I'm thinking that this chapter is going to be the chapter that turns everything around. Chris will be gone next chapter! Yay!This chapter is deticated to hilaryhilary, who gave me inspiration and an amazing idea for my new story. Thank you so much!
There are flashbacks at the end,there is a break seperating each flashback.
As usual, these wonderful characters of One Tree Hill aren't owned by me. If I did own them, Haley would've came back a lot sooner, and Nathan and her would be very happy right about now.
It's been two months since Peyton and Jake left to get Jenny. They've heard from them on and off, but nothing major. Brooke and Lucas have been friends with each other, trying to put off their feelings until Peyton, Jake, and little Jenny return. But….it's harder then they expected. Haley has been dating Chris Keller, and Nathan has gone back to his player status. Nathan and Haley are back to hating each other.
"It's been two months since they've left, Hales. I'm starting to get nervous," Brooke stated walking over to Haley.
"Me, too," Haley agreed.
"Well, hate to be the bearer of good news," Luke said walking over, "but Jake called this morning, girls. They're on their way home. They got Jenny."
"What!" Brooke screamed, "They're coming back!"
"Oh man this is great!" Haley agreed.
"What's going on?" Nathan said walking over.
"Nothing," Brooke said, "Peyt and Jake are coming back!"
"Awesome." Nathan stated.
"Haley?" Brooke questioned, "Why are you wearing a sweater? It's like 75 degrees out."
"I'm cold," Haley said quickly.
"Haley, Haley, Haley," Nathan said, "We always knew you were a cold bitch…but what does that have to do with you and your sweater?"
"Your such an ass, Nathan." Haley said getting offended.
"You what? You like my ass? Haley, I knew that." Nathan said smirking.
"You know what Nathan, stop talking to me and go screw some sluts." Haley said about to get up.
"Go away Haley," Nathan said acting childish.
"This is my locker!" Haley argued.
"You know what Haley. You make fun of me for screwing sluts? I never screwed you and from what I know, you're the biggest slut of the school. We all know that your little, "Poor me, I was raped," scene was an act! Well Bravo Haley! You should take on acting. And now you're here with your little punk boyfriend, and you're probably screwing him any chance you got. No wonder why you've been missing first period a lot. I'm sure that's not the only period you're missing though." Nathan said with all the rage in the world.
Lucas and Brooke looked at Nathan with a mixture of shock and disgust.
"Nathan," Lucas started.
Haley stared at Nathan with tears filling up in her eyes.
"You know what Nathan, I don't have a come back. Congratulations. You've won." Haley whispered. She choked back a sob, held her head up high and walked away.
"You're the biggest ass I've ever met Nathan." Brooke said running after Haley.
"Nathan? What the hell is wrong with you, man?" Lucas said.
"What? She pisses me off," Nathan said feeling extremely guilty.
Haley reached the bathroom sobbing. Brooke ran in after her.
"Hales, Nathan's an ass." Brooke said hugging Haley.
"I know, but who does that? Who brings something as bad as a rape to bring someone down?" Haley asked wiping away her tears, taking some make-up with her.
"He didn't mean it Hale-," Brooke paused. "What is that?"
"What?" Haley asked, suddenly feeling nervous.
"Your eye. It's black and blue." Brooke said getting suspicious.
"Oh…Tigger, you know I'm a klutz." Haley stated, trying to laugh.
"Yeah. I guess." Brooke stated, not really sure.
"We're home Daddy!" Peyton yelled walking into her house.
"There's my beautiful daughter and granddaughter!" Larry came out from the kitchen.
"Hey Mr. Sawyer." Jake nodded.
"Jake, Jake, Jake…you're family. It's Larry!" Larry said laughing.
"Okay, okay. Larry." Jake said with a little discomfort.
"Well, you two should get to school! I'll watch Jenny for today," Larry said taking Jenny from Peyton.
"You sure, Mr. Saw…Larry?" Jake asked.
"Of course I'm sure!" Larry exclaimed, "Go. Go. GO!"
"Thanks Daddy," Peyton said walking out, laughing.
After they reached enough distance away from their house, Jake leaned in and asked Peyton,
"When are we going to tell him you're pregnant?"
"Not sure. Probably around the same time we tell him we're married." Peyton replied, also whispering.
"Lucas she's been wearing sweaters, and she has a black eye. Don't you find anything strange with that?" Brooke asked Lucas.
"What do you think it is?" Lucas asked, equally concerned for his friend.
"I don't know," Brooke said trailing off, "Do you think-"
"Lookie here, Jake," Peyton said, seeing Brooke and Lucas talking, "We've been gone for two months and these two are on each other like peanut butter or jelly!"
"P. Sawyer!" Brooke screamed when she saw Peyton and jumped on her.
"Hey, man…How's it going?" Luke said hugging Jake.
"It's good. Nikki's gone for good," Jake said extremely happy.
"Yeah. How did that go?" Brooke asked tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"We drove to Florida, 'cause Jake thought she was going to be down there," Peyton said.
"Was she?" Brooke asked.
"Hell yeah," Peyton started, "We get to the hotel, and it happens to be that our Jenny and Nikki are in that very hotel. We didn't realize it until like 2 weeks in, though. Then, the police had to come, and we had to have another court case. But in this one, they gave us restraining orders against Nikki. For all three of us. She has to stay in Florida for at least 2 more years and has to do community service and stuff. Then, we just stood there for a while-"
"PEYTON!" Brooke interrupted her.
"What?" Peyton said startled by Brooke's outburst.
"What is on your finger?" Brooke said grabbing Peyton's hand.
"Shit," Jake mumbled.
"A ring? A ring P. Sawyer? Did the two of you get like married or something!" Brooke said.
"Kinda," Peyton said scared of her friend's reaction.
"OH MY GOD!" Brooke screamed, "I'm totally happy for the two of you! This is perfect. I mean, I have to admit P. Sawyer-Jagielski, I'm a little insulted I wasn't there, but, we can do all that stuff now!" Brooke continued linking arms with Peyton.
"We'll see you guys later!" Brooke called, but turning around to say, "Luke. They're back," she said winking.
Lucas smiled, "You want to come over tonight?"
Brooke winked, "You betcha."
"So Tigger, what happened since I've been gone," Peyton said walking with Brooke.
"Nothing much. Lucas explained who that girl was, who totally happened to be his sister. Yeah, sister. And we decided that we'd wait until the two of you came back to be all coupley," Brooke said excitedly.
"How's Haley?" Peyton asked.
"I don't know, Peyt," Brooke started, "Her and Nate had this blowout this morning. The two of them have been hating each other as usual. She started dating this dude, Chris. He's a complete ass. Nathan and him absolutely hate each other, which makes Haley enjoy it more. Today he made some comment about how the rape was an act. She burst into tears, and ran to the bathroom. She's been wearing sweaters and has like black eyes. She said she's just a klutz. I mean Ha-"
They walked into someone, and the person crouched over moaning in pain.
"Oh My God!" Brooke started, "I'm so sorry. We weren't looking where we wer-"
"Hales?" Peyton cut her off.
"Peyton?" Haley said painfully, "When did you get back?"
"This morning…what's going on Hales?" Peyton asked.
"The two of you were frigging speed walking, what do you expect it to tickle?" Haley snapped.
"Tutorgirl…" Brooke said shocked.
"I'm sorry. I'm just. I'm not really in a good mood right now," Haley said coming up. Peyton then took in her appearance. She look like she'd been crying. She was wearing a loose sweater, and had a black eye.
"Peyton got married!" Brooke said, eager to change the subject.
"What!" Haley screeched.
"Yeah," Peyton said, wrapping her arms around her two best friends necks, "And another secret…I'm pregnant."
"What?" Haley and Brooke screamed.
"Shhhhh!" Peyton said, motioning with her hands to quiet down, "Only Jake and I know, and well, now the two of you, but you guys better not say anything!"
"Oh P. Sawyer-Jagielski," Brooke said, "Are you sure you can do this?"
"I already have one daughter," Peyton said happily, "Now this time…I just have to go through the labor."
The girls laughed.
"Listen," Peyton started, "I hear you have a lovelife, missy," directed towards Haley, "and I know, you have plans tonight," towards Brooke. "But can you guys do that tomorrow?" Peyton said whining. "I haven't seen you guys in two months. I want the six of us to go out," she said.
"Peyt, I don't—" Haley said, "Nathan is going to be there. We got worse, I'm not sure."
"Haley please! I promise Nathan won't pick on you. I'll make sure of it," Brooke said.
"Okay, okay." Haley said reluctantly.
Haley was on her way to Chris' to tell him that she was going out with her friends later on.
"Hey Chris," Haley said.
"Hey Haley. What's up, baby?" Chris said sweetly.
"Umm...Remember how I told you about Peyton and Jake?" Haley said.
"Yeah. The one's with the baby," Chris said.
"Well, they're back!" Haley said excitedly.
"And I care why?" Chris asked.
"Tonight, I'm going out with the group. It's been two months, so. I figured, one night. Sure." Haley said, trying to explain.
"No." Chris stated.
"Chris, please. I haven't seen them in the longest," Haley begged.
"Haley. Why do you always do everything wrong?" Chris asked inching closer to Haley.
"What do you mean?" Haley asked, backing away.
"You never do what I tell you to. You do the opposite. Don't you remember?" Chris asked, touching Haley's bruised stomach.
Haley visibly flinched.
"Does that hurt, Haley?" Chris asked.
Haley nodded, "Chris, please."
"Please what?" Chris asked, "Please don't what Haley. Because I'm asking you to not go out tonight, please." Chris yelled.
"You can't tell me what to do!" Haley yelled.
"Did you just yell at me?" Chris asked.
"No shit Sherlock," Haley said with more confidence.
"Apologize." Chris stated.
"No." Haley stated.
Chris pushed Haley to the ground, and started hitting her. He started kicking her, and as she was whimpering out, "Please. Stop," everything went black.
"Nathan, I'm going to pick up Brooke," Luke said, "And don't—"
"And don't forget to be nice to Haley," Nathan said mockingly, "Yes mother, I've heard the speech."
Lucas nodded and walked out of the door.
Nathan was sitting there thinking about what he said to Haley earlier. I can't believe I told her the rape was an act. Why do I do that? Damnit. Way to win a girl's heart, Nate. I mean, you love her. I love her? I love her. I'm in love with her. Nathan Scott, in love with Haley James. Nathan smiled, then frowned. She hates me. I don't blame her, I'd hate me, too.
Peyton and Jake were extremely excited about being out with their friends and about their baby on the way.
"Do you think it's a boy or girl?" Jake said to Peyton.
"I don't know. I don't care. As long as it's healthy," Peyton said.
Lucas and Brooke were in his car, laughing and talking when Lucas' cell phone rang.
Haley Cell went flashing across the screen. Haley and Lucas had grown up together, along with Nathan, since diapers. They were the first 3 in the group. And ever since her and Nathan stopped talking, they grew even closer.
"What's up Hales?" Lucas said into the cell.
There was silence.
"Haley?" Lucas said, suddenly panicking. Brooke turned her head quickly to see what was going on.
"Is this Lucas?" the voice asked.
"Who the hell is this?" Lucas asked.
"Is this Lucas?" the voice repeated.
"Considering whoever the shit you are clicked Lucas, and called, obviously, this is Lucas. Now who is this?" Lucas asked extremely angry.
"It's Chris." Chris said.
"What happened?" Lucas said.
"Haley…she fell down the stairs. We're on our way to the hospital now." Chris said hanging up.
Lucas stopped the car short and made a U-Turn going to the other side of the town.
"Lucas!" Brooke said, "The restaurant is tha-"
"Call Peyton." Lucas said.
"What?" Brooke asked, "Why?"
"Call Peyton, Brooke. Haley's in the hospital," Lucas said, his eyes filling up with tears.
"Why?" Brooke asked.
"Just. Call. Peyton." Lucas whispered.
"Hello. Peyton Sawyer Jagielski," Peyton said answering her cell phone.
"Peyton…Haley's in the hospital. Call Nathan. He should be there," Brooke said and then hung up.
Peyton grabbed her keys and yelled to Jake to follow. When they hit the car, Peyton sat in the driver's seat and started racing down the street, tears flowing down her cheeks.
"Peyton. What happened?" Jake said scared of what was going on.
"Call Nathan. Haley's in the hospital." Peyton stated.
Nathan's cell was ringing. Probably another one of his friends calling to tell him to be nice to Haley. Peyton's Cell
"I know Peyton," Nathan said picking up his cell. "Be nice to Haley."
"Man, it's Jake," Jake said.
"Well then Jake, I know to be nice to—" Nathan was repeating.
"Man it's Haley," Jake rushed out.
"I know. I have to be nice to Haley," Nathan said wondering what the hell Jake was on.
"No, man. Haley. She's in the hospital." Jake said.
Nathan grabbed his keys and his phone, jumped in the car and rushed to the hospital. All memories of himself and Haley popped into his head.
"You STUPID BITCH!" Nathan yelled to Haley.
"You look beautiful."
"Oh, please."
"No, I'm serious. You really do look beautiful."
"Nathan? Wow. Thought you'd be inside screwing some slut right about now."
"Yeah. Thought you'd be in there bitching at random people."
By this point, Haley was in tears, and Nathan got up, and awkwardly took Haley into his arms, trying to console her.
"I shouldn't have gone to the bathroom by myself.." Haley got out in between sobs.
"Thanks Nathan. You know, you really aren't the person I thought you were."
"Yeah," Nathan said looking intently at her, "same for you."
"Nathan you are like my bestest friend in this whole entire universe."
"Nathan! Why aren't we friends in school!"
"I don't know Haley," Nathan said tucking Haley in.
"But you are like, SO SO sweet! Oh my goodness! I have like SUCH a great idea!"
"And what is that?"
"We should totally be friends!"
"You are super hot Nathan!"
"Thanks Haley."
"Do you think I'm super hot?"
"Yes, I do."
"Really! Then we should get married!"
"You haven't kissed a girl!"
"No. But don't tell anyone."
"I won't but I mean, you Nathan Scott. Oh my goodness!" Haley said laughing.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Nathan said getting mad.
"I mean I've even gotten my first kiss."
"Well that's because you're a dumb slut!"
Haley looked at Nathan shocked. She got up and stormed out of Nathan's room, and life.
"Haley, I'm SORRY!"
"Yeah. I mean on Friday night, we talked. And I mean really talked. No fighting, no arguing. I mean, from what I remember."
"Whatever, Nathan. Just—let's forget that we ever had that talk on Friday. Because to me, you're still the same selfish son of a bitch you always were."
Nathan decided to step in, "Then look again," Nathan said slipping his hand around Haley's shoulder, "But not at her, cause if you do, I'll kick your ass back to whatever hick town you're from."
"Nathan, forget it. Forget everything. I forgive you. Is that what you want to hear? Well, good luck, because even in your dreams you won'-"
Nathan cut Haley off by kissing her. Haley started to respond to the kiss, then abruptly started to push away.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I feel like I lost something I never had."
"You know what Haley. You make fun of me for screwing sluts? I never screwed you and from what I know, you're the biggest slut of the school. We all know that your little, "Poor me, I was raped," scene was an act! Well Bravo Haley! You should take in acting. And now you're here with your little punk boyfriend, and you're probably screwing him any chance you got. No wonder why you've been missing first period a lot. I'm sure that's not the only period you're missing though." Nathan said with all the rage in the world.
Haley stared at Nathan with tears filling up in her eyes.
"You know what Nathan, I don't have a come back. Congratulations. You've won." Haley whispered. She choked back a sob, held her head up high and walked away.
And with that Nathan walked into the hospital, saw his friends, and broke down and started sobbing.
Up Next on Accidentally In Love:
"Nathan.." Brooke called.
"I never got to say I'm sorry, Brooke. I never got to—" Nathan said sobbing.
"Shh…" Brooke said, taking her friend into her arms, crying herself.
What's up with Haley?
"You're all here for Haley James?"
"Yes. I'm her sister," Brooke said stepping up.
"It seems as if Haley was abused. Her left arm is broken, she has a few broken ribs, a concussion and some tearing at the stomach."
"Is she going to be okay?" Peyton managed to ask.
"As of right now, she's in a coma."
Brooke turned around to see Nathan staring at Chris.
"Oh, and Ms. James?" the doctor said towards Brooke.
"Yes," Brooke stated.
"Haley had initials carved in her right leg. We managed to sew them up, but they looked like it was. C.K."
At this point Lucas walked up to Chris,
"I think you should leave," Lucas said forcefully.
Chris looked at Nathan and Lucas and said,
"Eh. Whatever. At least I got to screw that a few times."
And Nathan…
"I'm gonna beat your ass Keller!"
"Bro, Bro…Wait…Not in here. Not in the hospital."
"I love you Haley," Nathan said crying, "I love you…"
And Lucas…
"Hey, buddy," Lucas said tears streaming down his cheeks, "I need you. I…" Lucas started, choking back sobs, "I'm sorry. I should've been there…to…to protect you from him. But I promise you. As soon as you're out of here. He's dead."
Brooke…
"Tutorgirl. Wake up!" Brooke said crying, "She's fine! She's fine…" Brooke trailed of sobbing.
Peyton…
"I can't..I can't see her…when she's like that."
Jake…
"Haley?"
"Hey, Jake."
And for Chris?
"Excuse me," a police officer said, stepping into Haley's hospital room, "Is there a Lucas Scott in this room?"
"That would be me," Lucas said walking up.
"You should come with us," the officer said.
"What? Why?" Lucas questioned.
"You're brother's in jail, right now. He assaulted a man by the name of," the officer paused as he looked through his papers, "A Chris Keller."
