After Haley had calmed down a little, Brooke carried her to her car and out her in. She wanted to get her out of there as fast as possible just in case. She drove them back to her house so she could take care of Haley. In less then five minutes they were at Brooke's house.

"Ow!" Haley whimpered as she tried to get out of the car.

"Baby? What's wrong?"

"I can't sit up."

"Here, let me help you."

"Thanks Tigger." Brooke put her arm gently around Haley's waist, careful not to hurt her ribs, and helped her inside. They made it up to Brooke's room and Haley laid down on her bed. Brooke lied down next to her. There's so much I want to ask her, but I think that's the last thing she wants to talk about.

"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner, baby."

Maybe not.

"No Haley, don't be sorry. You did nothing wrong."

"Thanks."

"So Hales, when did all of this start?"

"About three months ago. He started off just saying really mean things to me, like I was fat, that no one loved me, and I was worthless, and all kinds of stuff." Brooke saw the tears threatening to fall in Haley's eyes and she saw how hard this was for her. Brooke had tears in her eyes also.

"Haley, don't ever let anything he says get to you. You are by no means fat. You are beautiful and I'm so lucky to have you. I love you Haley James. Don't ever forget that."

"I love you too Brooke, I really do."

Haley sat up in Brooke's bed. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much as she thought it would. Brooke sat up with her. Brooke noticed a single tear rolling down Haley's face.

"Hey hey, whats wrong?"

"I just feel so gross and so used."

"From him hitting you?"

Haley just shook her head.

"All the mean stuff he said right?"

She shook her head again.

"Then what is it baby?"

At Brooke's words Haley broke down sobbing. She couldn't stop herself. It hurt to cry so forcefully but there was nothing she could do. I can' t tell Brooke was HE did to me before he left. I can't…

"Haley?" She can't possibly mean what I think she means can she?

Haley didn't say anything. She just sobbed harder and harder. Brooke took her in her arms and let her cry. She hated seeing anyone in this much pain, let alone the love of her life. She sobbed into Brooke's shirt as Brooke stroked her hair. She had to know.

"Haley, you're really scaring me. What happened?"

"Brooke I can't."

" Sure you can. It's me. You can always tell me anything and everything. I want to know what's got my baby so upset."

"My dad--- he's done more than hit me, Brooke."

"You mean.." Brooke said with tears welling in her eyes. She pulled out of the embrace to look at Haley.

"He raped me before he left." She choked out before a whole new round of tears came and they racked her body.

"Oh my god Hales. We're gonna get though this. Okay? Me and you." Haley could only nod as she couldn't find her voice through he tears.
