Three days later:

It was the day Brooke and Haley were going to the police. Haley looked terrible because she hadn't gotten much sleep because she was too worried her father would come back…but he never did. When they got to the police station they were introduced to Detective Sheraton.

"Now which one of you is Haley James?"

Haley timidly raised her hand.

"I'll need to speak to you alone. You're friend can wait out here."

"Um…detective...would you mind if she came with us?"

The detective was hesitant at first but once he saw how worried the girl looked when he said she was going to have to leave Brooke, he figured she could come.

"Now Haley, can you please tell me everything that has happened. Including how and when this all started."

"Um..okay…sure. Well I guess it started about three years ago. At first he was verbally abusive, you know, calling me mean names and saying I was worthless, stuff like that."

Brooke could tell this was really hard for Haley and she put a comforting hand on her back as the tears welled in both of their eyes.

"Then he started hitting me when I got him really annoyed. I always thought I was just being really bad and that it was my own fault. But once he started hitting me for no reason was when I realized he had a real problem. But I didn't dare say anything, because he would kill me, no doubt. Here's the hard part. Um…about two months ago, before he left for his business trip he um..well..he..raped me. I tried to stop him but he was just so strong and I couldn't do anything. That's the only time he did it. He tried again the other night but I attempted to fight back and it seemed to scare him off a little bit. I haven't seen him since then and I don't want to. I'm just so worried he'll find me."

By the time she was down, both Brooke and Haley had tears streaming down their cheeks.

"Thank you, Ms. James. We will make sure he never lays a finger on you again. You did the right thing, coming here. Now, you have a place to stay?"

"Yes, with me, detective. Brooke chimed in. But he knows where I live."

"No problem. We'll give you a restraining order. And we'll have a cop outside your house 24/7. Are you a good friend of Haley's?"

"I guess you could say that…I'm her girlfriend."

Brooke and Haley inwardly grinned at the chocked look on the detective's face.

"Okay then…that's all for right now. You need your rest. We'll call you if we need anything else."

"Thank you detective." Haley said.

Brooke and Haley headed home. When they got there they laid down on Brooke's bed and stared at the ceiling.

"You wanna know something, Hales?"

"Sure."

"I'm so proud of you."

"Really, why?"

"Because of how you dealt with everything and how brave you were. I admire that and that's one of the many reasons why I love you."

Haley smiled.

"Thanks Brooke. And I wanted to say thank you for everything. I know your home situation wasn't easy and I appreciate that you were always there for me, even when you were in pain. I love you."

"I love you too, always and forever."

That's it guys. It's over. But I would LOVE to write another. Leave me ideas about Baley or anyone else you wanna see. I'll be more than happy to do it. Review!
