A.N-Just so everyone knows, Josh is Haley's boyfriend. I had someone ask who he was so I just wanted to make sure everyone knew that's who he is. So anyway here's a new chapter…. enjoy…

"Well he's your ride…."

"WHAT!" I screamed and stood up. My head started spinning because I got up to fast causing me to sit back down but I kept staring at Brooke.

"You heard me. Lucas and me have… umm, things to do. And since you and Peyt, obviously aren't talking…. Nathan's your ride." I looked over at Lucas and he looked down and I sighed.

"I can tell how much you two care about me!" I yelled standing up as Brooke smiled.

"Have fun." She teased as I groaned and walked away trying to find Nathan. God I hope he didn't leave yet.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had been looking for this guy for the past 10 minutes. I was beginning to think he had left. I looked at the bar, the dance floor, EVERYWHERE! He was obviously gone. Next was the bathrooms then I was gonna beg Lucas and Brooke for a ride before I started puking everywhere. I pushed through the crowds and made my way back towards the bathrooms. Nope. No Nathan. Just my luck. GOD! I turned around and was heading back towards Brooke when something caught my eye. A blonde head attached to another. I walked forward a little to get a better look when I realized who it was.

"Josh…" I whispered, causing the two to pull apart. Right there in front of me was my so-called boyfriend and some…. bar slut.

"HALEY! We-what are you doing here?" He asked taking a step closer to me causing me to step back.

"I was just about to ask you the same thing." I said trying my best to keep the tears back as I watched the girl adjust her shirt. "Who are you?"

"The names Brittany." She said extending her hand. I looked at it then glared at her and she quickly put it at her side.

"Well, I'm going to go. I'll see you later." She said squeezing his arm before walking away.

"I'm guessing this isn't the first time." I said as tears finally fell from my eyes and he nodded.

"Its only her." He said thinking that makes it ok. Haha. Yeah, right.

"Why? Why didn't you just break up with me Josh? Huh!" I screamed and backed away as he stepped closer.

"Cause I love you."

"Stop!" I said before turning around and started walking away. He grabbed my arm and turned me around. "Josh, let go! Please that hurts." I said trying to get out of his grip. He looked at me with pleading eyes, as if asking me not to go. "Josh! Please!" I pleaded again as he finally did. I looked down at my arm and knew it would leave a bruise. The sad thing is…I'm used to it.

"I'm sorry Hales. Don't go."

"We can't do this. YOU CHEATED ON ME!" I screamed as tears continued to fall down my cheeks as my arm started throbbing. So was my heart. I had to get out of there. "I'm sorry." I whispered before turning around and running away. I kept running until I collided with something…or someone? And fell flat on my ass.

"Haley?" I heard someone say as I was lifted off the ground. "Are you ok?" Nathan said as he wiped away some of my tears and looked at me.

"I've…. I've been looking for you." I said in a small voice hoping that he would not hate me and take me home.

"Why?" He said as I sniffled and pulled him outside.

"I…I need a ride home. Please." I begged as he just stood there and looked at me.

"What's going on?"

"Brooke and Lucas said they can't give me a ride and I feel sick and I really need to go home." I said as new tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Ok, ok." He said as he led me towards Lucas' car. I gave him a confused look and he said, "Luke gave me a set of keys earlier."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Thanks Nate." I said sending him a smile as I fell on my bed.

"It's not problem. But now that your home safe…I'm gonna go." He said pointing towards the door.

"Aww! Don't go." I said laughing as Nathan gave me a weird look. "Please just stay tonight. I've had a REALLY bad night." I said putting my hand on his arm. He looked down at it and was about to say something about the bruise forming on my forearm but I quickly pulled it away. "Please." I asked again as I collapsed back on the bed and groaned. My head was killing me. It was like the room was spinning.

"You ok?" He asked as I pulled him on the bed. I started laughing as he fell on top of me. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing." I said trying to act innocent as he stared down at me.

"If I stay can I get up?" He said laughing a little as I nodded and removed my arms from around his neck.

"You know your something else Haley. One minute you're running away from me then your running INTO me. Now you're begging me to stay. What's up? Won't your boyfriend be mad?" He said laughing in the beginning then sounding kind of…bitter and angry at the end.

"I had an all around bad night. And I don't have a boyfriend anymore." I said lightly as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Wanna talk about it." He said sitting next to me on the bed. I rolled over and looked up at him and smiled.

"Maybe in the morning when I don't feel like shit." I laughed and closed my eyes again. I heard Nathan sigh and knew that wasn't what he wanted to hear but, whatever.

"Yeah ok." He said and looked over at the sleeping girl next to him. He lightly grabbed her arm as he heard her breathing even out and ran his fingers over the bruises that looked like fingerprints. He took a deep shaky breath thinking about what had happened to Haley after he walked away. It hadn't been that long. Had it? She said she had a bad night…but who would hurt Haley? Nathan looked down at her again and sighed praying she would tell him tomorrow.

God only knows what tomorrow will bring.
