Nathan and Luke just returned from basketball practice and were both really tired. Luke automatically headed for the couch and looked as if he was about to fall asleep. He let him self drop on the couch groaning.
"I'm just going to go toilet man" Nate said to Luke.told Luke.
Luke groaned.
"Go to the one upstairs, downstairs is broken" he muttered rolling over slowly drifting off.
Nate shrugged and headed upstairs. Just as he was about to go into Luke's toilet something caught his eye. Haley's door was wide open and clothes were on her floor leading to her Bed room. He knew it wasn't like Haley because she was kind of a clean freak. Also the water was running, she always shut her door if she was having a shower. Not that he paid attention to things like that…
He thought maybe with their situation maybe it was best to leave it but something in side him was telling him to go and look. He slowly walked in her bedroom heading to her bathroom.
"Hales!" Nathan shouted as he lifted a half naked Haley in to his arms. The water was still running making it harder for Nathan to know what was going on. He lifted her up and carried her to her bed.
"Wake up" she suddenly started coughing up water and looked up to a very worried Nathan
"Nathan" she whimpered. He touched her cheek and held her tight a sudden urge of protectiveness coming over him.
"Shh, it'll all be okay" he soothed kissing her fore head.
"Nathan" she sobbed again.
"What the hell?!" Luke must have barged into the room because Nathan didn't even realise he was standing there.
"Luke I swear it's not how it looks. I came up and she was here…"
"Cover her up man!" he asked covering his eyes.
Nate quickly took his shirt off and put it around Haley's bare chest buttoning it up carefully.
"What happened?" Luke asked coming closer.
"I don't know, she was just here crying, Haley talk to us" Nate urged.
"I'm fine... Can I have a minute?" she asked sitting up. The boys nodded and left her to it.
She stumbled to her closet still feeling a bit drunk and took out some clothes to put on. After 10 minutes of trying to avoid the guys… they weren't having any of it and came in with out even knocking.
"What happened Haley?" Luke asked her sitting next to her followed by Nathan sitting on the other side.
"I'm fine" she mumbled touching her head, her head was really hurting.
"No you're not, we found two vodka bottles. Did you finish them?" Luke asked.
"Luke you're not Mum or Dad in fact! Stop it! I can't take it. If I want to drink I can. Who cares any way? What's the point in all of this?" She snapped getting up walking to the window.
"Haley" he said suddenly his voice softening.
"No Luke! I can do what ever I want now!" Haley screamed, and with that she ran out the room headed downstairs, headed out.
She didn't even know where she was going.
She just needed to get out.
Out of this place.
--
Half an hour later
"Where's she now?"
"She's gone" Luke told Brooke.
"What do you mean she's gone?" Brooke snapped back at him.
"I don't know, she just left" Luke had just told Brooke everything to Nate finding Haley to her running off.
"Why didn't you run after her? Nate? You're fit enough to keep up you would have gotten her in minutes. You boys are so stupid!" she said taking her cell out calling Haley for the 5th time.
For the 5th time she didn't answer.
"We thought she should have space?" Luke asked nervously.
"Luke she's still drunk! Didn't you pay attention to the two freaking bottles here?" Brooke shouted holding both bottles in her hand.
"We just…" Nate began but quickly got cut off by Brooke.
"No you were both plain stupid!" she snapped walking off.
--
Two hours later
"Any luck?" Brooke asked.
"No" Nate and Luke had just checked all the bars in Tree Hill looking for Haley but didn't find anything. Brooke stayed at home just in case Haley decided to come home.
She didn't.
"Well all we can do it wait" Brooke muttered sitting on the couch biting her nails.
Brooke never bit her nails.
Luke sat next to her and put his arm around her trying to sooth her.
FLASH BACK
15 year old Nathan had just come back from basketball practice and decided to head to the river court to shoot some baskets.
As soon as he got there Haley James was sitting in the middle of the court sobbing. He dropped his ball and ran towards her to see what was wrong.
"Haley?" he asked nervously.
"What" she asked wiping her tears. She was trying to hide the fact that she was crying.
But she wasn't fooling any body.
"Haley what's wrong?" he asked gently wiping the one tear that fell down her cheek with his hand.
"Nothing" she mumbled looking to the ground.
"So you're crying for nothing eh?" He asked trying to make her feel better.
And it worked.
She giggled.
"Yes"
"What's happened? Who should I beat up?" He asked this time serious. Who ever made Haley cried deserved the worst.
"No one. You don't have to beat up any body Nathan." She told him getting up.
"Hales" said.
"It's Jack. He broke up with me" She said quickly. Nathan suddenly stiffened up. He never liked that Jack dude any way. Haley deserved so much better.
"What the hell? Why?" He asked.
After a good few minutes Haley didn't reply, Nathan guessed she wasn't ready to talk about it, and the way she went slightly red was probably because she was embarrassed.
"You can tell me?" he said softly.
"He wanted… he just wanted things I didn't" So this guy must have wanted to have sex with her. Nathan couldn't help feel angry. Wait, what if he forced her to do something she didn't want to do?
"Did he pressure you in any thing?" He asked hoping the answer was no.
"NO! Of course not. That's why he broke up with me, now he's with Sheila Rose… apparently she gives him more"
"Haley, you did the right thing trust me. I know what guys think about, about girls like you, and trust me all they want to do is get in your pants" he said honestly.
"Girls like me?" she asked.
"Pretty girls." He blabbed out. Crap did he just say Haley was pretty? Well she was…
"Thanks" she mumbled blushing.
"Come on lets head home" he put his hand out and she took it and they both headed off…
END OF FLASH BACK
The river court
Nathan ran out the room to the river court. Half way there and it started to rain.
As soon as he got there he was right.
Haley sitting in the middle of the river court soaking wet crying her eyes out in the rain.
"Hales!" he shouted walking towards her.
She jerked her head towards Nathan. Her facial expression broke Nathans heart.
"Please go away" she cried.
He ran towards her and took her by both shoulders and pulled her up so she was standing up. They were face to face looking into each others eyes.
"Haley don't do this" he mumbled.
"Do what?" she asked.
