A/N: Alright to answer some questions that were left in the amazing replies... Sorry if my last authors note confused anyone with me mentioning a banner and all. I'll admit to it, i c&ped the A/N from my other posts on other boards where this story resides. But the new character will be in this story. I see her as the youngest Soreli(sp?) sister on Related. Google: Laura Breckenridge. Also, in the last chapter, that was Brooke taking Haley to see her regular doctor, the therapist visit is this chapter, which btw I love. I know we all want Haley to be happy and normal again, but that is for sure going to take awhile. First we are going to see strong Haley crack...

So, thank you to everyone who replied! Your comments mean the world to me and you all are doing an amazing job at keeping my world a happy place! lol. So please keep them replies coming!

Much Love

Debbie


"Okay, so I'm really starting to think that Katie Holmes isn't really pregnant." Brooke stated while she remain focused on the gossip magazine in front of her. It was Monday and everyone was back at school. Haley, Brooke and Peyton were currently outside in the quad enjoying the sun and their lunches while making small talk.

"If you say so Brooke, I didn't even know she was pregnant to begin with." Peyton quipped, she appeared to be the only one listening anyway.

"How could you not know? Everyone's heard the 'TomKat' spiel including couch jumping and scientology. Tutorgirl?" Brooke rambled on, asking for her roommates opinion. "Haley?"

"Huh? Oh yea, English was boring." Haley answered quickly knowing she was caught.

"That topic was over awhile ago. Where were you?"

"Um, nowhere. I'll be right back." Haley mumbled, as she spotted Nathan entering the quad. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Yea, what's up?" Nathan asked as Haley pulled him aside.

"Do you think you could take me to my counseling thing tomorrow? You don't have to I ju-"

"Haley, of course I will." Nathan cut her off, chuckling at her ramble.

"Okay. Thank you." Haley sighed and Nathan put his arm around her, guiding her back to her lunch.

"Thanks for asking me." He mumbled into her hair, kissing her head as they arrived at table.

"So you'll be here when I'm done?" Haley asked again once the receptionist called her name.

"I promise. I won't leave this room, even if I have to go to the bathroom." Nathan joked.

"Thank you Nathan." Haley sighed, feeling him give her hand a reassuring squeeze before she let go and followed the receptionist down the hall.

"Olivia? Haley Scott is here." The receptionist announced while lightly knocking on the door.

"Haley, come on in. Thank you Judy." Olivia greeted, motioning Haley to the couch. "Please, take a seat, make yourself comfortable. Would you like anything to drink?"

"Um, no thanks." Haley shifted nervously on the couch looking at the plaques that were displayed behind Olivia's desk.

"Okay, well I'm Dr. Parisa, but please call me Olivia. Now it says here you're married?"

"Yes, I am." Haley answered shortly

"And that you don't live with your parents?"

"No, they're off god knows where in an R.V"

"So they haven't been here for you?"

"I don't even think they know. I think Karen, my best friends mom, tried but couldn't get a hold of them."

"That must be hard."

"Whatever, I don't care." Haley shrugged absently.

"Okay and then how is your husband handling what happened?" Olivia asked, deciding to change the topic.

"He's fine. He was pissed off and beat the crap out of the guy, but what husband or boyfriend wouldn't?"

"And how are you handling what happened?" Olivia asked while jotting down notes on Haley's file.

"I love how you ask that even though you have no idea what happened." Haley commented.

"Well would you like to tell me what happened?" Olivia asked, scribbling furiously on the paper.

"No."

"Haley, the first step to getting help is admitting the truth."

"I'm not some crack addict, I know what happened, my friends know what happened, I'm sorry if I don't feel like re-living it for you." Haley bit back hoping she could just leave soon.

"Oh so you told your friends what happened?" Olivia pressed on, wanting a reaction from the young girl.

"No but they know what happened, unlike you."

"So you haven't described to anyone what exactly happened."

"You know what. I'm done here. Thanks for your time Dr. Parisa." Haley commented quickly as she slipped out the door and bee-lined her way out of the office, past the reception desk and past Nathan.

Not the reaction Olivia was looking for.

"Haley?" Nathan called, chasing after her as they quickly descended the narrow stairs. He was able to catch up to her once they were outside of the building and Haley was leaning against the brick wall, eyes closed and trying to calm down with deep breaths. "Didn't go well?"

"I hate her." Haley mumbled letting her tears fall as Nathan pulled her into his arms. "Nathan, don't make me go back?"

"If you don't want to, then you don't have to Hales. No one is going to force you to go." Nathan promised, kissing her head soothingly.

"Okay. Thank you." Haley replied her voice small and scared.
