A/N : I want to thank everyone for reviewing and I hope you'll do the same for this chapter, it's a little shorter than the other and doesn't contain much Baley, but the next chapter will be filled with Baley. Hope you enjoy!

No More Lies

Principal Turner was shocked as he looked at Haley, he had never seen someone so badly hurt as she. He sighed as he looked around him at Lucas, Brooke, Nathan and Peyton. Finally, he was able to speak.

"Miss James, please come with me. You four need to come too." He said as he looked at Lucas, Brooke, Nathan and Peyton.

Haley was about to take another step when her leg suddenly caved in. She had forgotten how much it hurt. She would've fallen to the ground, but Nathan had cought her. He was holding onto her pretty tightly, as if he were determaned not to let her go, let her fall. Haley was gratefull for that. She didn't know why, but Nathan seemed to be the only person she couldn't get mad at.

"Principal Turner, is it okay if I take her to the nurses station first ?" Nathan asked, not loosening his grip on Haley, so she wouldn't fall. Principal Turner looked at Haley and Nathan, the nodded.

"Off course, you can take her. Mister Scott, Miss. Davis and Miss. Sawyer, come with me please." Turner said, Lucas gave one last look at Haley before following Brooke and Peyton to the principal's office.

"Do you think you can walk ?" Nathan asked Haley, who he was still holding onto.

"I'll try. I succeeded before." Haley said in a small tone of voice. She tried to walk, but again, her leg wouldn't support the weight of her body anymore. If it weren't for Nathan, she would've fallen to the ground for sure this time.

It was strange, when she was determined to keep this secret, she had been able to walk through the pain. But now her secret was out, and with that all the determination to forget the pain was gone.

"Here, I'll help." Nathan said and without any warning, he lifted her up and started walking to the nurses station. When he got there, he didn't even bother to knock on the door, he just went straight in, carrying Haley in his arms.

"What happened ?" The nurse asked right away when she saw Haley. Nathan gently placed her on the bed and stepped away a little. Haley closed her eyes, she just wanted to shut herself of from everything.

"Euh, she was beaten. I have to take her to the principal, he's expecting us. But I thought it'd be better if you checked her out first." Nathan said, telling the truth, but not ellaberating on who beat her, Haley was gratefull for that.

"Miss. James, are you awake ?" The female school nurse asked, Haley opened her eyes.

"Good, can you tell me where it hurts the most ?" The nurse asked after she checked to see if Haley's vitals were all okay.

"My left leg and my right arm." Haley said, the nurse nodded. She looked at Haley's leg first.

"Well, it's certainly badly bruised. You seem to have old as well as new bruises. I don't think it's broken, but you'd have to take X-rays to make sure." She said as she moved on to Haley's arm.

"Oh, this is definitely broken. You'll need a cast for that. I can't do that here, the best I can do is put your arm in a sling and give you some pain medication. You will have to go to the hospital, to prevent any infections." The nurse said, Haley sighed.

The nurse put Haley's arms in a sling and gave her a few pills she needed to take right away. After that, she told Nathan and Haley they were free to go.

Nathan had offered to carry Haley again, but the medication she had gotten seemed to do it's job and even though she could still feel much pain, she at least was able to walk again. As long as she held on to Nathan.

"You will go to the hospital ? Won't you ?" Nathan asked, he seemed to be truly concerned about her. Haley sighed.

"I don't think so, not unless I want my dad to kill me." Haley said, she wanted it to come out as a joke, but the truth was it wasn't one to her.

"Dad's are just dickheads." Nathan said, suprising Haley, she had heard about Dan Scott, Nathan and Lucas's father, but she never knew Nathan disliked him as much as Lucas did.

"Yeah, they are." Haley said, sillently.

"Look, I know why you won't tell anyone about the abuse." Nathan said as he stopped just a few feet from the principal's office. Haley looked at him, questioning him.

"I can't imagine what you're going through exactly. But, before I got emancepated, I had it kinda rough at home. My mom's a druggy and my dad, well, all he ever did was presure me into basketball, so much so that I even took drugs for him. But I never had the courage to tell anyone about it because I was scared of what could happen next. If I tell a judge or a social worker, what would happen to my dad and mom ? Granted, they're totall jerks, but I still loved them. But I always knew that it had to stop, so, I finally got the courage I was looking for and shut them out of my life." Nathan said, Haley knew it wasn't the same, but she could relate.

"I wish I could just throw him out of my life. But if I send him to jail, I have no one, nothing. I can't stay with my mom, not after what she did. She never did anything to stop him." Haley confessed as Nathan just smiled.

"You could get emmancepated." Nathan said, Haley thought about it and thought it was a rather good idea. She could almost kick herself in the head for not thinking of it herself. But then she thought of her father and her mother. She hated both of them, but at the same time they were all she had, she was too afraid to loose that.

"I'm not turning them in. I can't." Haley said, Nathan sighed.

"No one can make you do anything, even tell the truth, but, think about what I said." Nathan said before they started to walk again and reached the principal's office.

They knocked on the door and went inside, they saw Peyton, Lucas and Brooke sitting there. They looked very sad.

"Take a seat, Mr. Scott, Ms. James." Turned said as he pointed to two extra seats someone had placed in his office.

"What did the nurse say ?" Was his first question, he seemed to be the most concerned about her current state. Haley just shrugged before she replied.

"Nothing. I'm fine." She lied, hoping Nathan wouldn't tell the truth. Nathan looked at Haley telling a lie. It occured to him that she probably told a lot of lies, fooling a lot of people. But he was to concerned about her for some reason to let her lie like that.

"That's a lie, Haley. Her arm is broken and her leg is pretty swollen, she needs to have X-rays in the hospital. And she needs to go to the police, because she won't go on her own." Nathan said, avoiding Haley's hurt look as she probably felt he had betrayed her.

"I'm fine, I don't need the police or anyone. All I need to know is that you didn't call my parents." Haley said, she couldn't leave without asking that. If they had called her father, she could never go home again, he'd definitely beat her to death. But then again, the entire school knew now.

"We haven't called anyone yet, considering the situation. Miss. James, you do know that you are a minor, and that I need to report any suspicion of abuse." Principal Turner said, Haley let out a strange sound that could be interpreted as a laugh or a cough.

"You're kidding me, right ? What about the past 5 years, someone must have suspected something from time to time. No one ever reported me. And if you do, I'll die." Haley said, she avoided everyone's stares as she looked at the ground.

"I've only been the principal here for a few months. I don't know about before, but I know that what I see now is a child in pain, a child in danger. It's my job to protect you from that." Turner said, Haley didn't know what to do now, her life was over.

"You've just signed my death sentence. If I go home, I'm dead." Haley confessed, she knew that it was no use to deceive anyone anymore. They knew, the secrets were out and the lies had been stopped.

"You're not going home. I suggest you go to the hospital first and stay with one of your friends for a few days untill Child Services are here. The police will have to question you first before anything can be done." Principal Turner said.

Haley had her hands in her pockets when she felt the palm of her hand brush against something. It was a piece of paper, she took it out and looked at it. It was the number of that police officer, Ryan Carter. She layed the paper on Turner's desk.

"Could you call this police officer. I only want to talk to him, no other cops." Haley said, Turner nodded.

"We should probably get you to the hospital." Lucas said, it was the first time he had spoken since she had entered the room.

"I'll take her. Haley and I have some things we need to clear up anyways. She can also stay with me, if she wants." Brooke offered, Haley thought about it and sighed. She was still mad at her for telling, but she didn't know where else to go. And even though she needed Lucas, she couldn't stay with him, she couldn't face him. And she knew even less about Peyton than she did Brooke and Nathan made her feel nervous, so that didn't leave her with many options.

"Okay." Haley said, she didn't know what else to say next. She looked around her, they were all looking at her with pitty and sympathy, even Turner. He was on the phone with Ryan Carter, Haley had heard.

It was all set in motion now, there was no turning back. There were no more lies she could tell. She would never be able to go home again. She felt so many things at once, that she didn't really know what to feel. The only thing she was sure of was that things would never be the same again.
