With Tragedy Comes Grief, Depression, and Love

Secret Body Guard

Haley slowly walked down the hall clenching her white board in one hand and a pile of books, notebooks, folders, and homework in the other. She loved school and was so glad to be able to do her homework in peace. Back in L.A. Mike worked her to the bone forcing her to clean house, make dinner, and wait on him hand and foot, only leaving her to do her homework late at night. Late at night was never silent either that is when Mike would force himself on one of the girls or his date and screaming and crying normally clouded Haley's concentration. As she slowly walked down the hall to her locker someone caught her arm. She turned to be met with a pair of crystal green eyes and brown shaggy hair.

"Haley right?"

"Hello? Are you going to talk at all? Ignoring people is rude you know..." He said tightening his grip on her arm.

Haley shoved her board in his face squirming to get away from his grip.

I'm not interested.

"Uh I'm Jason. So I say we go get lunch sound good?" Josh groaned as he began to lightly pull on her arm

I'm not interested now let go!

"Look Haley you are going to lunch with me and you are going to have a good time. Now give me that stupid board and let's go." A devious smile spread across his face as he yanked away her board.

What the hell does no one come down this hallway after school or even care that he is dragging me by the arm. I thought I escaped all this when I came here. Haley thought to herself small tears visible in her eyes.

Nathan had been secretly watching the whole interaction and was just about to make his presence known when Lucas appeared.

"Hey man, what's up?" Luc questioned.

"Luc, go over there and get Haley away from him. Drive her home there is something I have to do. Don't tell her I told you to do this I got to go man." Nathan said walking the other direction

"Nathan wait, why don't you get her yourself. She looks intent on going with him anyways they are holding hands I don't want to break that up."

"He is dragging her along Luc. He took her board away and is hurting her. Now go get her! Don't you dare tell her I told you to either."

"I'm going to break his nose."

"No Luc just get Haley and get her home leave him alone, just get her away from him." Nathan shouted rounding the corner."

Lucas gave up on speaking to Nathan. He noticed Jason was making it further down the hallway dragging and shy Haley along behind him. He quickly ran to catch up and grabbed Haley's arm forcing her to stop both her and Jason.

"What the hell? Haley get going!" Josh yelled tugging on her arm.

"I suggest you stop yanking her right now!" Luc spat back angry.

"Lucas let go of her. We are going out to lunch you have nothing to worry about right Haley?" Jason squeezed and twisted her arm forcing her to nod.

"Do you think I'm stupid? You have her white board that she never puts down. She has tears in her eyes, and if you don't stop twisting and tightening your grip on her arm your going to have them in yours as well."

Jason knew he wasn't getting away with Haley this time so he dropped her arm. He pushed her white board rough against her chest and leaned into whisper in her ear.

"This isn't over baby don't worry." He whispered while smashing a light kiss on her cheek. Then he turned and walked down the corridor and around the corner.

Haley collapsed into Lucas's arms with tears visible in her eyes. Lucas held her tight and motioned for her to walk with him. He lightly grabbed her arm which made her shake a little. Noticing how scared she was he dropped her arm and pulled her close telling her everything was okay, after a brief moment Haley and him made their way to the parking lot.

Jason rounded another corner headed for the back doors only to run straight into a rough hard chest.

"What the hell man?" Jason questioned gazing up.

"Oh hey Nathan, what's up man?"

"Not much I saw you with the new girl." Nathan pretended to friendly state.

"Girlfriend material?" Nathan questioned with raised eyebrows.

"No, but she is definitely fuckable. Lucas screwed up the whole thing though. No worries here though I will get her in my bed I can guarantee it."

"Like hell you will!" Nathan shouted.

"What man is she yours or something? Last I checked you were with Allyson and Haley is fair game."

"Not for you she isn't. I saw you grab her, take her board away, and drag her along. Don't talk to her, stare at her, or touch her ever again got it?"

"Nathan Haley will ride me and there is nothing you can do to stop it." He said with a smirk.

Nathan sent his hands to Jason's chest shoving him into the locker and getting right in his face. He then pulled back and began to walk away. Half way down the hallway he turned around and shouted back.

"You touch her ever again and it will be a lot worse then a little locker shove got it?"

Jason nodded but he had other plans in mind. He was almost certain Haley would be at the party this Friday and that is when he would make his move. Whether Nathan wanted it to happen or not Haley would be riding him. Hell whether Haley wanted it or not she would be. Turning around he smiled to himself a smile so evil that it scared himself.
