Chapter 15

To say Nathan Scott was mad would be an understatement. He was furious. His ex had just shown up who stole his money and cheated on him. And did the same with 3 other guys! She also disturbed a moment between him and the girl of his dreams, it's true. He has been dreaming about her. So Nikki has to show up and spoil it.

Nathan stormed over to where Clay was sat and sat on the stool next to him. He grabbed Clays shot and drank it.

''Woah Nate. Who's got you all mad?'' Clay asked.

''Nikki.'' he mumbled.

''Who?''

''Nikki. She's my bitch ex.'' he grumbled.

''Well we've all had one of those.'' Clay laughed.


Peyton had just finished listening to Haley sing, she went back onto the stage to announce the next person. Knowing they wouldn't be as good.

''Next up is Mouth Mcfadden singing Grease Lightning!'' Peyton laughed and turned to walk of the stage. As she was walking she saw Nikki. The girl that used Nathan. She stormed off the stage where Nikki, Haley and Junk were stood in an awkward silence.

''GET OUT BITCH!'' she shouted.

''No.'' she answered calmly, she knew that would just piss her off even more. Nikki wanted to look like Miss. Innocent

''I said get out. You've cause enough trouble for me and Nate.'' Peyton started to square upto Nikki, clearly if she pissed Peyton of again she'd hit her.

''Oh, sticking up for stupid little Nathan once again.'' she whispered. So she could still keep up her innocent role.

Peyton was just about to punch her square in the face when she felt a hand stopping her. Peyton turned back and saw Haley.

''Peyton don't. You'll get fired. She's not worth it.'' she explained. Haley didn't like fights, she doesn't want Peyton to get in trouble. She doesn't know what Nikki's done. All she knows is she's clearly not worth the trouble.

''Yeah. Listen to the short ass.'' Nikki snickered.

Haley heard that and no one calls Haley James. She walked up to her and punch her in the nose. ''What was that?'' she shouted.

Nikki screamed and started pulling Haley's hair. Peyton jumped on Nikki's back trying to get her off Haley. Haley just kept slapping Nikki. None of it was working, no one was stopping.

Nathan, Jake and Clay ran over to the girls. Jake pulled Peyton of Nikki, Clay pulled Nikki off Haley, Nathan just grabbed Haley to hold her back. Junk just stood there looking completely confused, he never knew his cousin was such a bitch.

"You're out of here.'' Clay dragged Nikki by her arm out of the club, no one was going to get into a fight with Little James and expect him not to get involved. He was going to protect Haley from people like that. He wasn't doing it because of what happened with Damien. It's because he cares about Haley like a sister, and you don't mess with his sister.

Nathan just hugged Haley calming her down, ''I'm sorry.'' she mumbled. Nathan leaned back and lifted her chin up with his finger so she was looking at him.

''What for?''

''For that.''

''I should be thanking you,'' he laughed. ''I hate her, so thank you.'' he pulled her into a hug again.

Haley didn't want to know what happened between Nikki and Nathan. She didn't want to know if they dated, she didn't want to get that picture in her head. Haley thought about what just happened and laughed, that so wasn't like her.

''How did that just happen anyway?'' he asked, still holding Haley.

''Peyton stormed over and shouted, she was about to hit her but I stopped her. Then she called me a short ass so I punched her. Only Skills gets to call me a short ass.'' she explained.

''Well I think you have a very nice ass Haley James.'' he flirted.

Haley should of backed away, but she didn't. She still wanted to be in his arms, it felt so safe. ''Perv.'' she mumbled. Nathan just laughed and closed his eyes. Taking in this moment with Haley in his arms, he doubted this would ever happen again.


Peyton was pacing up and down backstage. After the fight she just ran there, she knew she'd do something she'd regret if she would have stayed. She was thankful Nathan's friend got her out of here.

When she ran out Jake followed her, he knew he had to stay with her until she was okay. He couldn't leave her like that.

''You okay Peyt?'' Jake asked concerned.

''Yeah,'' she breathed, she'd calmed down abit more now. ''She just get's me so mad.'' she continued taking deep breaths until she was calm. Jake didn't say anything else. He wanted to wait untill she'd calmed down abit more. Angry Peyton was scary.

''Who is she?''

''Her names Nikki. She dated Nathan last year. She's a liar, she dated 3 other rich guys from other schools. She just wanted there money. She didn't even need it for anything important, she just liked it.'' she was starting to get mad agian, she took more and more deep breaths to calm herself down.

''Ouch. Was Nate okay?'' this past month Nathan and Jake have gotten pretty close, know Jake's not with Haley he's got no reason not to like Nathan.

''Yeah, he got her back.'' she laughed at the memory.

''How?''

''He told those 3 other guys about her and they all dumped her. Then I beat her up.'' she said proudly.

''Nice Peyt.'' Jake highfived Peyton, proud of her to.


Brooke and Lucas were on the dancefloor. Brooke sure liked to dance. They only stopped dancing twice, the first time was to talk to Haley and Clay and the second was to see what the fight was about. Lots of people were crowding round where it was, by the time they got there all they saw was Peyton storming off and Jake running after her. They saw Nathan hugging Haley. And Clay dragging a girl out by the arm, both of them looking very angry.

This was a night for Brooke and Lucas, they didn't want to get involved. Brooke was sick of all the drama, she was just glad she had Lucas. He's the best thing that's ever happened to her.

''Lucas?''

''Yeah?''

''I love you.'' she told him.

''I love you too Pretty girl.'' he leaned down and kissed her.

Brooke smiled and rested her head on his chest again. That's how they stayed for most of the night.


Fergie was at the bar with Lauren. They've been there for about half a hour joking around and finding stuff out about eachother. Fergie discovered Lauren wants to be a teacher when she's older. And Lauren discovered Fergie really likes basketball.

''Fergie?'' Lauren asked, nervous. She's not had much experience with boys, she goes to a girls school. She doesn't get to see many of them.

''Yeah?''

''Can I have your number?''

''Sure.'' he grinned. Fergie grabbed a napkin and wrote his number on it.

''Thanks, I'll call you tomorrow?''

''Great.'' he beamed. Then mentally slapped himself in the face for getting to excited, she's going to think I'm a loser.

But Lauren just laughed.


Mouth had just finished singing 'Grease Lightning' when his phone rang.

''Hello?'' he asked.

''Hey boyfriend.''

''Hey babe.'' he smiled, he was so happy to here from her.

''Watchaa doin?'' Millie asked. Oddly sounding like Isabella from 'Phineas and Ferb.'

''Just at TRIC.'' Mouth answered.

''Where?'' she asked confused, what's tric?

''It's a club in Tree Hill.'' he laughed.

''Oh.'' she said dissapointidly.

''What's up Millie?'' he asked concerned, he hated that she lived so far and he couldn't comfort her. He's only saw her a few times since the first time they met. They talk everyday on the phone though, and they text all the time.

''It's just... are there girls there?'' she asked embarressed. She didn't want to be one of those over jealous girlfriends.

''Yeah, Peyton and Haley just had a fight with one.'' he snorted. Not sensing that she was jealous of the girls there. He wasn't saying Haley and Peyton wern't girls, he just classed them as friends. He then thought about what she just said, ''I mean, yeah. But they've got nothing on you.'' he told her truthfully.

She grinned on the other side of the line. ''I've got to go, I'll see you later.'' she told him. She really didn't want to go but she was using her house phone and her Mom wanted to use it.

''Bye.'' He said as Millie hung up the phone. He tried not to think about Millie all night because it just made him miss her. He'd been distracting himself all night. But now she rang. He was glad she did, but it just made him miss her even more.


Haley, Nathan and Clay were stood outside TRIC. They needed some fresh air. They were talking about what happened with Nikki. Haley had just finished telling Clay what happened.

''The blonde girl did look mad. No wonder.'' Clay laughed. He'd not met the others yet, except Brooke and Lucas so he just referred to them by there hair colours. Haley and Nathan just knew he'd get confused if they told him there names, so they just went along with it.

''Yeah, she's pretty protective. We've been best friends for ages.'' Nathan said.

''Where did you take her anyway?'' Haley wondered.

''I just dragged her to the door and pushed her out, I told her to stay away from my little sister.'' he grinned. Haley did to, she stood on her tip toes and gave him a high five.

''Little sister?'' Nathan asked.

''Yeah. Some guy way hitting on her before and I called her that to get him away. It works, so I'm just gonna stick with it.'' he explained. Clay noticed the jelous look on Nathan's face when he said someone was hitting on Haley. Unfortunatly Haley didn't.

Haley's phone began to ring, she looked at the number she didn't recognise. She answered it anyway.

''Hello?''

''Is this Haley James?'' the deep voice on the other end asked.

''Yeah?'' she answered, still confused to who this guy was.

''This is The Tree Hill police station. We would like to let you know about the case regarding Damien West.'' Haley felt sick when he said the name. ''He got hit by a bus last week, he was in a coma. During the time he was in a coma a 3 girls reported a rape case in Charlotte regarding Damien West. When he woke up he confessed to you're attempted rape and the actual rape of the others. We now no longer have to take this case to trial. But if you do have anymore information for us please let us now. Thank you.''

''Wow. Thank you.'' she was beyond shocked. She'd been so scared this past month thinking that he'd come back for her. And now he's gone. But she felt so bad for the girls who he did rape. She didn't even want to imagine what would have happened if he got that far.

''Take care.'' the voice on the other end hung up.

Haley just stood that with the phone still in her hand. Nathan saw a tear slide down her cheek and instictively pulled her into a hug. She continued to cry into his shirt. ''He's gone.'' she mumbled.

Nathan started to rub her back to calm her down. ''Who?'' he asked.

Haley pulled back and looked at Nathan and Clay. ''Damien.'' she sniffled. Nathan's fists immediatly clenched as he heard the name. And Clays jaw immediatly tightened. They all hated that guy. ''He confessed. He's gone.'' she beamed. ''He's gone.'' she repeated, not getting tired of how relieved she felt.

Nathan and Clay's faces broke into huges smiles. They all pulled eachother into a huge hug, the three of them. So happy for justice.


Hope you liked it.

I know Haley Elizabeth James wanted Damien to get hit by a bus so I made it happen:). It wasn't Damien calling like Derek did, they actually caught him and he's not coming back.

Sorry Clay fans but he wont be in the next chapters, he will come back in Chapter 22. Sorry if that's to long, but these next chapters are mainly going to be Naley, Jeyton and Brucas. I may add him in a phone conversation with Haley or Nathan and he will be mentioned.
