A/N: THANK YOU! Sooo very much for your wonderful replies. To answer a question, or rather confirm a statement, yes I have a few chapters written.I have up to chapter 13 done andI plan on most likely posting 3 a day, cept' for today asI just got in...and if I'm feeling really goodI may just keep posting to my own contentas I'm not going to be around this weekend.(roadtripping to Montreal!..I residein Toronto)...Anyhow, depends on how I'm feeling and maybe a lil on how you are all feeling. Also there was a request for longer chapters. That last one is the longestI have to date. Since up to 13 is done there's no changing them butI do try for length as much as quality. So again thank you so very much for the replies!

Much Love

Debbie


"Alright, we're just waiting for Nate and then we can go." Peyton informed Haley and Brooke. The nurses and doctors were finished running their tests on Haley and were now only waiting for the Haley's clothes that were worn at the time of the crime.

"Why?" Haley asked quickly, Nathan's name catching her attention.

"He's bringing your uniform."

"Oh, okay, well I'm just going to go wait in the car." Haley rushed.

"I'll come with you." Brooke agreed as Peyton watched the two go out the doors.

xoxoxox

"Where is she? Is she okay?" Nathan asked worriedly, giving the clothes to Peyton.

"She's in the car and doing about as well as anyone would be doing in her situation."

"You parked out front?"

"Yeah but-" Peyton was about to tell him to let her come to him but he was already out the doors.

xoxoxox

"Nate's here." Brooke announced seeing Nathan jogging towards the car. Brooke unlocked the doors just in time for Nathan to open Haley's side. No words were said. Nathan pulled Haley from her seat and brought her into a massive loving hug. Haley, who thought she'd feel uncomfortable around Nathan let alone touching him, let herself sink into his embrace.

"I'm sorry." Haley sobbed, falling more into her husband's arms.

"It's not your fault Hales." He told her, rubbing her back comfortingly.

"We can all go now." Peyton spoke as she reached the car.

"You want to come with me?" Nathan asked Haley as she pulled back from his embrace.

"I, uh-" She stuttered as she looked towards Peyton for help.

"Nathan, why don't you meet us back at the apartment. We need some girl time." Brooke suddenly spoke from her seat in the car. Nathan looked from Peyton to Haley, his face showing hurt and confusion.

"Yea, okay. I'll see you guys there." He agreed before turning to walk to his own vehicle.

"You want us to hang around the apartment while he's there?" Peyton asked after the three had settled in the car and were well on their way home.

"Yeah, if you guys don't mind."

"No problem at all room mate." Brooke smiled.

"What's goin on up there Haley?" Peyton asked softly from the back of the car, placing her head on the side of Haley's seat.

"Lots."

"Care to elaborate?"

"I just want to wake up and for everything to be how it was two days ago. Before all this happened, before I knew what it felt like to be forced to have sex, and before Nathan pitied me." Haley replied simply as they pulled into the apartment's parking lot.
