A/N: I figured since I had some time to kill I would update some of my stories... I hope you guys like the chapter! Please review!!
It was now Friday and school was already over. I had to meet the squad in the gym, so I started making my way there. My bruises had finally minimized to the point that they were hardly noticeable. I had been practicing with Brooke and Peyton everyday for the past couple of days, and I finally got the routine down. We just had to put up some signs and stuff before the game tonight.
I walked in the gym and saw some of the guys leaving the locker room. I then noticed Nathan who was walking my way. "Hey Hales, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Oh I had to come help Brooke and the squad hang up some signs for tonight. Are you ready for tonight's game?" I replied.
"As long as you are on the sidelines cheering me on," he said smiling.
"You bet," I answered.
"I also was wondering if you were going to the party tonight?" he blurted out.
"Brooke mentioned it, but I don't know if I'm going yet. Why are you asking me to come?" I wondered.
"I was actually going to ask if you wanted to come with me," he confessed.
I smiled before saying, "Well since you asked, I would love to."
"Great well I'll see you after the game then," he stated before heading out.
I stood there for a few minutes before I heard, "Peyt, did you hear what I just heard?"
"Brooke, I believe our little Haley is going to her first party with none other than Nathan Scott," Peyton joked.
"Guys, were you listening in the whole time?" I asked.
"Maybe," Brooke grinned before adding, "but now we'll have to find you something hot to wear for tonight."
"I guess we should hurry up with the signs then," Peyton piped in before I could say anything. They both dragged me off and we hung up the rest of the signs. We then headed over to Brooke's where she and Peyton picked me out an outfit.
The game was now under way with a few seconds left on the clock. The Ravens were leading by six points and Luke currently had the ball. He threw it to Jake who tossed it to Nathan as soon as he was open, and Nathan threw it in for a three pointer just as the buzzer sounded. The Ravens had won the game!
I ran over to Nathan and threw my arms around him in a hug. I didn't even realize what I was doing because I was so excited. He simply wrapped his arms around me and spun me around. "We won!" he celebrated.
He finally let me go and I said, "Congrats on the game. I'm going to go change and will meet you out front."
"Alright, but just so you know I couldn't have won without my number one cheerleader," he smirked.
I just laughed before running off to the locker rooms. Brooke and Peyton were waiting on me when I got there. "Where did you go?" Brooke asked.
"Oh I went to go congratulate Nate," I simply remarked.
Brooke and Peyton looked at each other and smiled. "Well we need to get you ready girlie," Peyton stated.
The girls helped me get ready for the next ten or so minutes. When I was finally finished, I couldn't help but smile. They both had done a really good job and I was quite impressed. I was wearing black v-neck dress that came down to my knees but showed off all my curves and some black heels. I hugged them bye and told them I would see them at the party. I went in search of Nathan as soon as I got outside and spotted him with a couple of the guys from the team.
One of his teammates whistled and Nathan turned around and smiled. He excused himself before walking over to me. "You look amazing, Hales," he whispered.
"Thank you Nate. You don't look that bad yourself," I joked.
He led me over to his car and opened the door for me. Then we headed to the party with very little conversation. I just simply looked out the window and thought about the sensations I felt when he held me in his arms earlier. Before I knew it, we were at the party.
I had now been at the party for over an hour. Nathan had went and got a couple of drinks and had been stopped by some of the guys from the team. Brooke and Peyton hadn't made it yet because they got dressed over at Brooke's. I was just standing out on the balcony when a guy came up to me and whispered, "What is a pretty girl like you doing out here by yourself?"
I turned around wondering who it was, but I was surprised that I didn't know him. He started moving closer to me and put his hand on my waist. I tried to pull it off but he pulled me into him instead. "Now don't fight me. I just want to have a little fun," he grinned.
"Let go of me," I said, but he didn't budge.
I tried again, but he just pulled tighter. I all of a sudden started having flashbacks of my dad beating me and I just started crying. Then I felt him release me, but when I looked up I knew why. Nathan had noticed the whole thing and came over and punched the guy in the face. "I believe she said to let her go. Don't ever come near her again or I won't be so nice next time," Nathan stated.
I just ran off towards the beach because I didn't want to face them. I ran as far as I could go before I fell down into the sand and continued sobbing.
A/N: Sorry for the cliffhanger... depending on the number of reviews will determine when I post the next chapter...
