Chapter 12

The game had just finished. The girls were in the changing rooms getting there bags, Brooke was grabbing her bag when she heard Rachel and Theresa having a conversation from the other side of the lockers.

''..I don't think I have a shot with Nathan.. I mean he's not that hot.'' Rachel explained.

''Um.'' Theresa agreed, while in her head she was screaming what? he's so hot!. She just had to agree with Rachel, she couldn't get on her bad side.

''I'm really stupid! I've missed it this whole time. The real 'Hot Scott' is Lucas. I mean did you see him in that game?''

''Lucas? Isn't he like a nerd?''

''Yeah but a hot nerd. I can totally get him to stop hanging round with those losers, I can make him popular.''

Brooke felt sick to her stomach, how dare she talk about Lucas like that? How could she even say that about anyone? It's just wrong. She wasn't going to let her talk about the guy she loved like that. She stormed round to the other side of the lockers where Rachel and Theresa were.

''Stay. Away. Bitch.'' Brooke was definitely angry. You could almost see the smoke coming out of her ears.

''Excuse me?'' Rachel said innocently.

''You heard me. Stay away from Lucas, don't you dare go near him.'' she warned.

''You can't stop me.''

Rachel was right, Brooke couldn't stop her. She hated that, she hated how she couldn't tell him how she felt, she hated that he'd find someone one day. She hated that she'd never be his. Brooke sighed and turned round to walk away.

''I can't wait to sleep with him!'' Rachel squealed to Theresa.

That's when Brooke cracked. She ran up to Rachel and started pulling her hair. ''You're not going near him!'' she shouted. Rachel tried to get her off but she couldn't reach as Brooke was behind her pulling her hair from behind her. Theresa just stood there in shock not knowing what to do.

''Brooke stop!'' Bevin ran over and pulled Brooke off Bevin.

Rachel went to slap her back but Peyton grabbed her hand. ''I don't think so.'' Peyton said.

''Brooke, calm down.'' Bevin told her.

''OK, calm.'' Brooke took deep breaths then it finally sunk in what happened. She released herself out of Bevin's grasp and ran to the bathroom to cry.

Haley was walking down the street. She was about to ask Brooke for a ride but as she was walking in the changing rooms she heard screaming and shouting, so she decided to walk. She just wanted to get out of there. So many thoughts were racing in her mind.

The hug she shared with Nathan at the end of the game, it felt so... right. Nathan had this strange abilitly to make her feel so safe but so free at the same time. She was fasinated by him, which was wrong.

Jake and her still arn't talking, she needs to sort it out with him. She shouldn't be going mad at Jake when her feelings for Nathan are growing, that wasn't fair.

She also was thinking about Brooke, what was that screaming about? She's noticed Brooke getting sadder, especially since her and Jake started dating. And now Bevin and Skills, she must feel lonely because she doesn't want to be with anyone else but Lucas. Haley knows that. Brooke was only with Lee to try and get over Lucas, which didn't work. She just hoped Brooke would be happy.

Haley tugged her cardigan around her body, she wished she would have got changed now. She was still wearing her cheer leaders uniform and only had a thin blue cardigan on. She walked around another corner a few blocks away from her street when she heard a familiar voice.

''You look good in blue, it suits you.''

Nathan Scott was walking home after the game, Lucas was waiting for Brooke who was taking a very long time so he decided to walk. He loved the streets of Tree Hill, they were so peaceful. You could just be alone, but you shouldn't do it when it's as cold as it is now. Nathan walked past a shop when someone walked out and bumped into him.

''Sorry dude'' they guy said he glanced at Nathan then did a double take. ''Wait. You're Nathan Scott right?''

''Yeah.'' he answered confused, how did this guy know him?

''I just saw the game, you were really great.'' the guy looked older than him, early twenties. He had dark bushy eyebrows and a crooked smile. He stuck his hand out. ''I'm Clay Evans.''

Nathan shook his hand. Still confused to why this guy was talking to him.

''I've just got out of college so I've moved back home, I always listened to RavensHoops and I heard about you. I want to be a sports agent, if you were older I'd definatly sign you. Didn't you play for Oak Lake?''

''Yeah. This was my first game playin' for the Ravens.'' They both started walking down the street continuing there conversation.

''So you wanna be in the NBA or something?''

''Yeah, it's always been my dream.'' he confessed.

''Well, when you get out of college you should give me a call. I could be you're agent, on the house.'' he offered.

Nathan was abit taken back by his offer, but pleased. This was just another step to achieving his dream, he definetly wanted to take him up on his offer. ''Sure.'' Clay handed him his card and they continued walking and talking about Nathan's future. They stopped when they heard a scream in the distance.

''What was that?'' Clay asked.

''I don't know but I'm gonna find out.'' Nathan took off running to where it came from.

''Wait! I'm coming with you.'' Clay ran up to Nathan and they ran round another corner towards where the scream came from.

Haley turned around and saw Damien West, the guy who flirted with her this morning. What was he doing here? He started walking towards her slowly. Haley just stood there frozen.

''You know, you shouldn't walk home alone, in the dark. You never know what could happen.''

Haley didn't know what to say. What was he implying?

He walked closer to her and placed his hand on her cheek. Her senses kicked in and she slapped his hand right off.

''You know that wasn't very nice Haley.'' he was getting angry, she could tell.

Haley turned to walk away but he grabbed her arm holding her in place, he still had the same angry look on his face. ''Get the hell off me!'' she seethed, she tried to move her arm but his grip was to tight he was squeezing his hand into her arm. ''You're hurting me!''

''Good.'' his grip continued to get tight and Haley winced in pain. ''You should know little whores don't always get what they want.'' he started walking and Haley couldn't see where through the tears. They turned around a corner and pushed her onto the floor. Haley looked around and realised they were in an alleyway. ''Please stop.'' she said, tears running down her face.

He grabbed her arm again and pulled her up. He pulled her towards him and kissed her roughly on the lips, she shut her mouth titely praying it would soon be over. Damien pulled back and gave her a hurt look. He took his other hand and slapped her roughly in the face, she screamed in pain and fell back on the floor. She put her hand on her face and started to cry even harder, why was he doing this to her?

Damien laughed bitterly and walked over to her, he bent down and touched her cheeks again. ''You're not going to do that agian. Is that understood?'' Haley just nodded her head, too scared to say no. ''Good, now you're going to give me what I want. You're not going to get away like Peyton did.'' Haley gasped, he did this to Peyton?

''P-Peyton?''

''Not me. Martin. You're mine. Now shut up and give me what I want.'' He kissed her roughly again, this time she kissed him back. She felt sick to her stomach, she just wanted this to be over. She wanted to be saved.

Haley got what she wanted when she felt Damien get off her. When she opened her eyes she realised he'd been pulled off.

''Haley!'' she saw those gorgeous blue eyes looking at her in worry, he ran over to her and hugged her. She just lay there in his arms letting all the tears fall.

Nathan watched as Clay beat Damien up. Nathan wished it was him, but Haley needed him right now. He wanted more than anything to beat the shit out of Damien, but he wanted to support Haley more. He rubbed Haleys back soothingly hoping it would make her feel atleast a little bit better.

''Sssh it's OK. I'm here, I'm not going to let anything happen to you.'' Nathan promised.

Peyton and Jake were on the way back from the game. Peyton had givin Jake a ride to the game so she was dropping him back home. She knew it was wrong but she just felt so bad about what happened between Haley and Jake. Peyton had just finished telling Jake about what happened in the locker room.

''Wow. Rach-ho's sure a bitch.'' Jake said shocked, using Rachel's improved nickname.

''I know. You think Lucas will fall for it?''

''Nah, he's to in love with Brooke.'' Jake was 100 percent sure, he knew Lucas wouldn't believe her.

''Good.''

They pulled up outside Jakes house, he unbuckled his seatbelt and looked back at Peyton. ''Thanks Peyt.'' he climbed out the car and walked towards the door.

Peyton sighed. She needed to stop hanging around Jake, it was only a matter of time before she fell for him. And that was a bad thing.

Haley, Nathan and Clay were now walking down her street. Clay finally stopped beating up Damien and he ran off. Haley had finally calmed down and they didn't have a car so they were walking her home. Nathan was going to do more than that, he couldn't leave her.

''Thank you.'' Haley said to both of them, looking in the distance. Haley was still clung onto Nathan, she was to scared to let go. Her arms were wrapped round his torso and he was still rubbing his hand soothingly along her back.

''You're welcome. I'm Clay by the way.'' he laughed, still over welmed by what had just happened. Nathan didn't say anything, he was still so angry. He couldn't believe that happened. He couldn't believe anyone could do that, not even Damien West.

They walked towards the front door. Haley let go of Nathan and hugged Clay. ''Thanks again.''

''No problem, I should get going. Call me if you need anything Nate.'' Clay turned round and walked out of the driveway, heading straight to a bar. He just wanted to forget about what that disgusting kid from Oak Lake just did.

Nathan finally spoke, ''Is you're Dad home?''

''No, he's visiting my Mom for a few days.'' Haley sighed, she didn't want to be alone. But she couldn't call Brooke, she didn't want her to know.

''That's it then, I'm staying with you then.'' Nathan stated.

Haley just shook her head. She would love for him to do that, but she just couldn't let him. He's done to much already. ''No it's OK.''

''Haley I'm not leaving you alone.''

''Fine.'' she get her key and opened the door. They walked in and headed upstairs. Haley walked to the guest bedroom and walked inside, Nathan following behind.

''You can stay here.'' Nathan walked further into the room and sat on the bed.

''Thanks. Shout me if you need anything.''

''Arn't I supposed to say that?'' she laughed.

Haley walked out of the room and headed towards the bathroom towards the shower. She just needed to feel clean, she needed to get him off her.

I hope you liked it.
