Up Against The Wall

Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill. I just alter it a little for pure enjoyment.

Thanks for the fantastic reviews guys! I loved waking up to reads them lol. Here's the next chapter, and I Wish To Remember should be updated after this for all of those readers as well. Enjoy!! Oh, and to Anna Banana, unfortunately for you this isn't a Laley story. Haha. But there will be a lot of Laley friendship. :)

Spanish. It was one of her most hated subjects, but she didn't hate many. Just Spanish, because it didn't very much effect her lifestyle like Maths or English. So why did the upcoming Spanish exam count for ten percent of her final grade? It was also one of the many subjects she shared with her best-friend's hated half-brother, Nathan Scott. Haley looked over her shoulder to Nathan who was staring at the back of her head. He quickly turned his gaze into a different direction and pursed his lips together. Haley rolled her eyes and turned around, writing down the notes that were on the board.

Nathan smiled once she turned around. This plan might turn out easier than I thought. Nathan's plan was to steal Haley away from Kaylob, so that he and Lucas can share their pain. Then, when he gets tired of her, he'll break her heart and make her regret pushing her friends away. It was the perfect plan, but where to start? He can't just walk up to her and suggest a twosome.

"Miss James, Mr. Scott see me after class." Much easier. Nathan smiled, but Haley's jaw dropped. Had she done something wrong? She must of to be called after class with Nathan Scott.

The bell rang suddenly and while everyone packed up to leave for lunch, Nathan and Haley stayed at their desks, slowly putting their books away. Their teacher, Mr. Rodrigues didn't look up from his desk.

"Who knew Haley James was a rebel?" Nathan smirked. Haley turned her her head to face him.

"I did nothing, Scott. This is your doing." She said back in a hushed whisper.

Nathan shook his head. "I don't think so, James. I haven't done anything wrong." He paused. "Lately, anyway."

Haley huffed. "Listen here Scott-"

"Miss James, Mr. Scott." Mr. Rodrigues said to get their attention. They both quickly turned to him. "Thank you."

"What's up, teach?" Nathan smiled.

"Well, I can tell you what's not up Mr. Scott. Your grades."

"Si." Haley sighed in frustration at Nathan's arrogance. She knew what was coming, and so did he. Only he was happy about it.

"Miss James, I discussed this with the principal and he suggested that you tutor Nathan until the upcoming exam in three weeks. Is that alright with you?"

"Actually not-"

"Perfect." The teacher smiled showing off his white teeth. Haley's jaw dropped for the second time in the span of ten minutes. He sat up from his chair and began to collect his books. "I expect a progress report now and then. Thank you for accepting this, Haley. I would of done it myself, but I seem to be busy this next few weeks." Mr. Rodrigues nodded and exited the room.

"Looks like we can get to know each other James." Nathan smirked as he collected his books from his desk. He and Haley stood at the same time and faced each other.

"Listen very carefully, alright? River walk, seven am tomorrow morning. If your late, I can assign you another tutor. But I am not putting up with Nathan Scott's bullshit."

Nathan pouted a little. "But I thought that was your favorite kind?"

Haley rolled her eyes and pick her bag, throwing it around her shoulder. She winced a little when it hit a bruise. "Just be there. And Lucas and Kaylob don't find out, got it?" She couldn't imagine the kind of beating Kaylob could give her if he found out she was having early morning sessions with one of their enemies, not to mention Boytoy. She couldn't imagine Lucas' reaction, either.

"Where's the fun in that?" Nathan teased. "I can imagine Lucas and Kaylob now," Nathan smiled and breathed in a batch of air. "can you smell the jealousy yet, James?"

"All I smell is cockiness." Haley replied coldly, exiting the room, leaving Nathan shocked. Not many people had dared to backchat Nathan Scott. And when they did, they didn't get away on two legs. Nathan smiled. This would be his best plan yet.

Kaylob sat impatiently at the lunch table he and his friend's sat at constantly. His knee rocked up and down and his fingers drummed against the table beneath him. Where was she? They would meet at the canteen, but she wasn't there. What was more important them himself, that she wasn't there? Lucas wasn't there either, and he grew easily suspicious. He tried not to let his temper get a hold of him and continued to look around for his girlfriend.

He bit on his bottom lip as he saw Haley and Lucas enter the outside area of the school with their lunch trays in hand. He tried his hardest not to take everything on her right here, in plain site. His eyes never left the two as he opened his can of coke and took a large sip. What was Lucas playing at? Trying to steal his girl?

"Hey, man." Lucas said bumping fists with Kaylob. Kaylob just nodded and took Haley's hand as she sat down next to him. Once the pair of hands were safetly hidden under the table, he squeezed it painfully tight. Haley winced at his actions but continued to eat normally with her free hand, trying not to show pain.

"What kept you guys?" Kaylob asked, trying to keep his voice to a minimum.

Lucas took a large bite and swallowed it quickly to answer his question. "Our little angel Haley James got kept behind in class." He smirked.

"Mr. Rodrigues wanted me to tutor a student." Haley said before Kaylob could ask more questions.

"Really? Who's failing Spanish this time?" Haley froze at Kaylob's question. She couldn't say Nathan Scott, so who would she say? She quickly looked around the grounds at the bystanders, and quickly found one she recognised.

"Brooke Davis."

The car ride was full of silence instead of the usual shouting and arguing. Haley tensed, she knew what was coming next. Kaylob would drive to his apartment and force Haley into it. Then, she would take out whatever pain he was feeling on her, and increase her pain times a million.

Kaylob turned off the ignition and turned his head to Haley. "Get out." He simply said, unbuckling his seat belt and also exiting the vechile. Haley took a deep breath to prepare herself for her next beating, and shakily exited the car. Kaylob was already by her side, and pulled on her arm and dragged her up the stairs. She didn't bother screaming for help, because she's done that once before. It only doubled the beatings, and no one came to help her.

Once entered the torn down apartment, he threw her against the nearby wall. Haley closed her eyes and tried to block out the intense amount of pain each punch gave her. Eye, jaw, leg, arm, stomach. It was all there. He didn't seem to miss a single part of her body. She sunk down the the floor and he started to kick her. Back, chest, knees. He then stomped down on her hard, leaving bruises the size of bootprints along her stomach and chest. She had to admit, it was one of the worse beating he had given her, and they only seemed to get worse.

Kaylob stopped and panted for breath. Haley opened one of her eyes to see if he had stopped yet, but he hadn't. He repeated the beating over and over again, until he got bored and all his stress was gone. Haley sat up on her knees, placing a hand on her split lip. She could smell the smoke build up in the room from Kaylob's cigarette. He chucked her one of his flanno shirts.

"You know what to do. Cover the bruises, don't let anyone see you on your way out." He put the cigarette to his mouth, inhaled and took it away. He then let out a puff of tabacco smoke. "If anyone asks, you fell down the stairs." He paused. "Again."

Haley quickly wiped her tears away from her face and buttoned up the shirt around her. She held her arms tightly around herself to stop her heart from breaking. She quickly took her bag and left, and began her long walk home.

Love it? Hate it? Doesn't matter – just press the blue purple button, cause that would really make my day :)
