AN: See previous disclaimer...First of all many thanks to the alerts, reviews, and anyone who favorite this story. I appreciate it to so much. I know some of you are getting anxious with Haley's big secret so thank you for sticking with me. This chapter was somewhat difficult to write so I hope you end up liking it.
Apologies for the long gap between my updates, on a personal note I've recently accepted a promotion at work which has been demanding most of my free time. Hopefully it will get better soon! Hopefully the longer chapter will make up for the drought.
Enjoy! As always let me know what you think...
~~~ "I'm Never Alone, I'm Alone All the Time" ~~~
* Chapter Twenty-Seven*
He stood completely shocked as he looked at his girlfriend standing in front of him looking in rough shape. Her hair was sopping wet as if she'd just stepped out of a swimming pool. Judging from her hair, he assumed her clothing was totally drenched as well. What he found odd was she had yet to even meet her eyes to his.
"Holy shit….Hales…what are…." Nathan started but couldn't seem to form a complete sentence. He couldn't even think. "Come on get inside." He finally finished as he moved to the side to allow space for her small body to pass by his. He was taken aback when she remained motionless on his front step as the cold rain continued to pound against her body.
He found it hard to keep his eyes open as the wind kept gusting and spraying his eyes with a steady mist.
"Haley? Baby, come in the house!" He called to her more forcefully this time. Again she stayed frozen in place with her eyes on the ground in front of her. Nathan decided to take matters into his own hands and reached out physically guide her into the house. Maybe the storm was so loud she hadn't heard him the first two times he invited her in? Her body jumped back when she felt his fingertips grasp her upper arm and her head shot up. Just then a bolt of lightning illuminated the night sky and Nathan finally saw her face clearly. Nathan stepped out the front door, put his arm around Haley's back and physically ushered her into the house refusing to wait any longer for her to move on her own.
Haley wrapped her arms around her body as she stood in his entry way no doubt dripping on his tile floor. The cold rain water hadn't really registered to her body as indeed cold until she entered Nathan's house which was cool from the central air that had been running. Goosebumps now covered her bare arms as she tried to stop her teeth from chattering. Nathan hadn't removed his hand from her back and now realized the sensation he was feeling was her body shivering.
"God, Hales you're shaking!" he declared in shock as then took off towards the guest bathroom right off the entry way. He returned not even 10 seconds later with two large bath towels and tried to hand her one but she just stood there completely dazed.
Nathan not knowing what else to do opened the towel and wrapped her around her body. He stood in front of her and rubbed her arms up and down trying to warm her up.
"What the hell is going on Hales?" He asked with great concern hoping she'd answer. She had yet to utter a single word to him since she showed up on his door step. She looked up at him again her eyes catching his. His face softened even more when he saw her puffy bloodshot eyes giving him a look he'd never seen from her before.
"Nathan?" She managed to get out in a hoarse whisper.
"I'm right here."
Haley wiped away the tears or rain drops dripping down her cheeks she wasn't even sure if there was a difference anymore before she finally spoke again.
"I…uh…..I… just needed to see you." She finally stuttered and then tried to break his gaze.
His hand found her cheek immediately and kept her from looking away.
"You look like you've been crying. Please tell me what's going on." Nathan pleaded hoping he'd be able to reason with her. He'd never seen her in this state beforehand and couldn't help but feel a bit frightened. Everything seemed normal with her from her text messages earlier.
"Nathan, I needed to see you and I didn't really feel saf…I mean I didn't want to be home alone tonight. You know with the storm and all. Could I stay with you tonight?" She asked hoping he hadn't caught her near slip up.
He looked her over once more and decided to let it go for now. He pulled her shaking body into a hug and replied, "You don't even have to ask. Come on, so you can change into something dry."
Haley managed to find her feet on her own and followed Nathan towards his bedroom. She walked into the bathroom and right over to the sink. She managed to gather all her hair to one side and started to ring the excess water out into the sink. Nathan grabbed a few things from her drawer in his dresser having to substitute one of his t-shirts figuring it'd be warmer than the tank tops she'd left in the drawer.
"Here you go." He announced as he set the pile on the bathroom counter.
"Thanks, I'll just be a minute." She said and was surprised when he pulled the door closed behind him as he left the bathroom.
She peeled off her soaking wet shirt and hung it up on the shower. She did the same with the rest of her wet garments before she tried her best to dry off her body before dressing again. She breathed in Nathan's scent as the shirt passed over her head and eventually hung loosely on her tiny frame. She combed through her hair and separated it with her fingers hoping it would dry fairly quickly. She tried to look at her reflection in the mirror only to turn away feeling dirty and disgusted with herself. Haley took one last deep breath and then opened the bathroom door to find Nathan sitting on the edge of his bed.
It felt like eternity until she reappeared from the bathroom where she'd changed into dry clothes. He glanced at the clock by his bedside as he tried to piece together the evidence to figure what in the hell was going on. It was 3:37 a.m. and in the middle of a severe thunderstorm. What would bring Haley out in the middle of the night to his house without calling him first? Nathan promptly got to his feet the moment she came into view. She showed up in a frantic state and could barely put together a sentence. He was nearly beside himself with worry as he thought back to how lost and scared she looked on his doorstep completely drowning from the storm. Nathan couldn't believe she'd managed to drive herself to his house through the storm in her condition.
They stood in the middle of his room as he waited briefly to see if and what she'd say but Haley offered him nothing. She only offered him a weak smile and looked down at the worn Clippers t-shirt and then back at him.
Making a split minute gut decision, Nathan reached out for her hand and simply said, "Let's go to bed."
Haley slowly placed her hand in his and allowed him to lead her over to his bed. She climbed into bed after him and instantly felt the warmth of the sheet and light blanket as it covered her freezing body. Nathan reached over and clicked off the bedside table lap and laid back down next to her.
"Come snuggle and I'll warm you up." Nathan offered in a tone barely above a whisper. Haley immediately rolled closer and laid her head on his chest just as he brought his arm around her body. He felt the cold skin against his already warm skin and couldn't believe she was still this cold.
After a few moments of silence Nathan kissed the top of her head and quietly asked, "Is that better?"
Haley quickly blinked back the tears she'd been fighting off from the moment she saw his crystal blue eyes showing such love and concern for her wellbeing. She knew he was worried about her especially after she showed up in the manner she had. He had presumably a long list of questions for her and she was surprised he hadn't asked any yet.
"Almost too good to be true." was all she could get out safely.
Due to a sudden crash in the adrenaline that had been running through her body, Haley crashed quickly and managed to drift off to sleep in his arms. Nathan on the other hand couldn't seem to turn his brain off and he kept going through different scenarios as his love slept next to him.
Nathan woke before Haley in the morning as he was generally used to waking up early for work outs or practice. He barely slept the last few hours after Haley had woken suddenly from what he assumed was a bad dream. Of course she offered no explanation for her odd behavior and went back to sleep which only made his mind race even more trying to reason out what was going on. Nathan managed to slip out of bed and headed towards the kitchen. He started a pot of coffee knowing he would need some to get him through his practice in a few hours. While he waited for the coffee, he quickly glanced over his calendar and emails. He then poured two cups of coffee and prepped Haley's just the way she liked it after he double checked what time it indeed was. He knew she had a rehearsal and a recording session in the morning. He glanced around the cupboards for something else to eat when he heard her small voice nearly startle him.
"Hey"
He spun around and saw Haley standing before him still dressed in the clothing she'd worn to bed. The only difference was her hair was combed back and in a neat bun on top of her head. The bloodshot eyes he'd seen the night before were long gone but her eyes were still slightly puffy. Overall she looked put together all things considered for the day.
"Morning, I was just about to bring you some coffee to get your day started." He declared and then held a mug out for her.
She took the mug in her hand while simultaneously placing a kiss on his cheek.
"Thanks, I'm going to need a little coffee to get through the day I've got ahead of me." She said as she brought the coffee to her lips. In spite of it being hot, she managed to take several large gulps in a row. She could feel his eyes on her and the looming feeling of what was to come next. She'd given herself a pep talk while she freshened up after she woke up hoping it would settle her nerves and give her the courage she'd need.
"I figured you'd probably be tired after such a late night." He started and paused somewhat testing the waters to feel Haley out.
"Yeah uhh huh." Haley quickly agreed and she took another large swallow of coffee.
There was no denying she seemed nervous around him and out of sorts as they stood in the kitchen drinking their morning coffee.
"Are you feeling better this morning?" Nathan boldly asked out of the blue not wanting to really beat around the bush any longer.
Her eyes darted up and immediately found his eyes which had been on her since she first announced her presence that morning. She tried to hide her surprise as best as she could when she answered his blunt question.
"Yup, I'm good." She muttered before she took one last sip and then moved to place her now empty mug in the sink.
"What else do you have going on today besides practice?" She asked casually while she tried to change the subject.
Nathan looked back at her completely dumbfounded and unsure how to proceed next. Was she really going to play this game?
"Nothing else set in stone today." Was all he managed to say after being caught off guard by her carefree tone. He wrestled inside not sure which approach to take but finally figured something was better than nothing at that point. He wasn't into playing games.
"So are we really not going to about what happened here last night?" He asked hoping she didn't take it as harsh as it happened to come out. He'd wanted to convey his concern for her but not make her angry.
She stared back at him somewhat shocked by his assertiveness and guts. She'd underestimated Nathan Scott and was now left with a choice. Come clean to her boyfriend or run from confrontation?
"There's nothing to talk about Nathan." She shot back almost too quickly and then looked away from his eyes. She decided to run from it again. She felt her heart breaking inside as she flat out lied to the man she loved.
Nathan's eyes widened as he said, "You're kidding right, Hales you show up in the middle of a thunderstorm in a wreck and can barely put together a sentence! Do you really expect me to just sweep this under the rug like it's no big deal?" He hadn't meant to raise his voice but couldn't help his emotional state any longer.
Haley closed her eyes and took a deep breath letting what he said permeate a bit before she replied, "Excuse me from not looking like the picture perfect girlfriend in the middle of a thunderstorm!"
He brought the heels of his hands up to his eyes and rubbed them hard in frustration, "Hey! I never said you had to look.."
Haley cut him off and continued her defensive rant. She knew she sounded like a crazy person and was jumping down his throat but she couldn't stop herself.
"Nathan, trust me on this and just drop it. You don't need to get involved in it. I've got everything under control so don't worry about it." She replied with a sense of finality in her voice.
"Don't worry about it?! You expect me not to worry about my own girlfriend when something is clearly going on with her. I can't do that! Forget the fact that you're refusing to even tell me what the hell it is." Nathan argued.
Haley turned her head and looked directly into his eyes. He was surprised by the fear shining through as she studied his face.
"Nathan, I can't do this right now. I have to go." Haley announced all of the sudden.
"Haley wait," Nathan said as he made his way around the island counter in his kitchen towards her. "Please don't leave like this." He begged while he tried to reach out to grab her arm. Haley swiftly stepped just out of his reach even though she was longing for him to wrap his strong arms around her and just hold her.
"I just need a little time to figure some stuff out in my head first. Just give me some time please"
There was nothing else he could say to convince her to stay and he knew it.
"Ok" escaped his lips as he was watched Haley turn and walk out his front door hoping it wasn't out of his life completely.
Haley was only 10 minutes late to her writing/recording session surprisingly after going home to change her clothes and freshen up first. She was glad they decided to work out of Chris' house instead of down at the studio. Her mind was racing and at times completely overwhelming. Chris could tell something was bothering Haley the moment she walked into the house. He figured she'd be happier with Nathan home. He remained mum on the subject at first hoping she'd come clean.
"I've got so many ideas swarming around in my head this morning I can barely make sense of them." She finally said hinting something was up. He studied her carefully as she sat down with a guitar and a notebook.
"Well, Haley James you've come to the right place. I'm sure in no time we'll have created another masterpiece good enough to satisfy the devil herself." Chris joked back hoping the intentional dig at Peyton would at least break the ice.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly signaling for Chris to continue.
"Well, let's get to work then." He suggested.
The duo immediately got to work testing out different guitar chords and lyrical combinations. Haley was on a roll and the music was just flowing from her freely. It could only mean one thing judging from previous situations. Her heart was aching.
"I think the first verse should really end with that chord. It gives it more power." Haley declared.
Chris nodded in response as he played it back to her again. She bit her lips together after he finished and remained silent while she thought about it some more.
Finally she confirmed her previous statement, "Yeah I think it's better that way. What do you think?"
"I think after what's come out of you so far this morning you need to tell me what the hell is really going on Hales." Chris answered.
Haley looked back at her old friend and knew what was about to come. Chris could get just about anything out of her and she knew he would understand. After all she tried to call him after she found the pictures Damien had left in her home the night before.
"Damien West contacted me last night."
Chris' eyes shot open and the hair on his neck stood on end. "That bastard did what?" Chris questioned immediately feeling anger build. He hated that pompous ass actor who was so arrogant and selfish he couldn't understand what Haley ever saw in him in the first place.
Haley tried to descretly wipe away the tear that had escaped out of the corner of her right eye without Chris noticing.
"How did he get your number again? I thought you blocked his number." Chris said.
"I did." Haley replied and then paused to gain a little more courage before she continued, "He was in my house."
"WHAT?" Chris yelled mostly in shock.
Haley proceeded to recall the events from last night after he'd dropped her off at her house. Chris somehow managed to remain fairly quiet while she spoke. She watched his face fall when she admitted she'd tried calling him and he phone was shut off. Like a dumbass he'd forgotten to charge his phone.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't there when you needed me last night." He said feeling guilty.
"You didn't do anything wrong Chris. This is my problem to fix and I was feeling weak." She started but was interrupted.
"You are anything but weak!"
Haley let out a matter of fact type laugh and shot back, "I was last night and again this morning when I had the opportunity to come clean with Nathan but didn't. I decided to run yet again from it."
"Nathan huh?" He questioned a bit surprised.
She continued to explain how she ended up at Nathan's house and what had occurred between the two of them. Chris listened closely taking in all the information and trying his best to keep his mouth shut. Haley was sharing her emotions freely and he didn't want to stop her until he was sure she was done.
"So let's recap here; you show up at Nathan's house in the middle of the night looking like a hot ass mess from crying and not to mention the downpour you drove through to get there. Then the next morning act like nothing out of the ordinary happened when he asks you what's up. Meanwhile knowing she's scared as hell that Damien is coming around again."
"Yeah and?"
"And you want to know why Nathan was upset and yelling at you this morning? Hales, he's your boyfriend and completely in love with you from what you say." Chris offered to Haley hoping she'd see his point of view more clearly now. Haley ran her fingers through her loose wavy hair in frustration knowing he was right.
"I know you're right and I know what I'm supposed to do. That's the thing; I know I should tell him. I want to tell him everything that happened because I know if I don't eventually it will just come between. I'm just scared everything will change if I do. Chris, I love him but I couldn't bare it to see the look in his eyes change when he finds out. Not to mention what he'll think of me after he knows what Damien did." Haley confessed quietly. Her voice wavered signaling how exhausted she really was.
Chris reached out and put his hand on Haley's shoulder affectionately. How he wished this never would have happened to her.
"It's wasn't your fault Haley. You didn't do anything wrong and Nathan will know that."
"I just feel so broken…" She whispered without looking up at Chris.
"Hey now," He said and then forced her to look at him. "I do too sometimes but you my friend are beautifully broken unlike me."
She smiled through her tears and wrapped her arms around her friend and pulled him into a hug. He squeezed her back and then pulled away promptly.
"OK, now let's use all that emotion and finish this song." He proclaimed.
Nathan found every ounce of energy as he launched himself straight up for the rebound only to miss it yet again. He heard a whistle blow yet again and cursed to himself under his breath.
"Scott, where are you? You're two seconds late every time and you're missing the rebound!" the coach yelled to Nathan.
Nathan only nodded and resumed position yet again to run the play again. He was officially having an off day and he knew exactly why. He was angry with himself for not being able to set his trouble with Haley aside before he stepped out on the court. Dan had drilled into him his entire childhood to leave all emotion off the court and think of nothing else but the ball and stopping anyone who is in the way of the hoop. The argument with Haley was about more than she'd let on and he knew it.
His feet left the court and he jumped straight up to find the ball float right into his hands. He gripped the ball tightly as he came down and quickly brought the ball out to center court.
"That's how I want you to do it Scott." Nathan heard his coach say after he successfully made the pass to his team mate. He was thankful at least something during practice went in his favor. He fought his way through the last 10 minutes of practice and let out a final sigh of relief when his coach called it a day.
He managed to shrug off his poor performance while he took a shower and then decided to take his time getting dressed. He watched his team mates rush around and file out of the locker room one by one. His mind was busy going over his encounter with Haley and trying to piece any lingering evidence together in hopes he missed something. Why was this still plaguing him so badly? He just couldn't shake the feeling something serious was going on. He was startled from his thoughts by his phone's text messaging tone. He retrieved his phone and opened a text from Haley to his surprise.
'Hi Nathan, it's Chris borrowing Hales phone..Are you finished with practice yet? We're still at my house working on a kick ass song.'
His fingers quickly tapped away on his phone to send confirmation he was finished. He found it particularly odd Chris was texting him from her phone. Luckily it was barely a minute when he received a follow up message.
'Wanna swing over here to see Hales in action? She's on fire today!'
Nathan's brows raised in surprise from the invitation coming from Chris via Haley's phone.
'What's going on? I don't want to mess with the creative flow or anything.' Nathan's message stated to Chris. He found it odd to be on the receiving end of an impromptu invitation to Chris Keller's house. His iPhone buzzed again with Chris' response.
'4326 Willow Lane…Trust me you don't want to miss this. She won't mind if you get a sneak preview. See ya soon dude!'
Nathan finished dressing and headed towards his car. He punched the address into his GPS system and took off following the directions please it wouldn't take too long to get there. His curiosity was mounting with every turn.
Meanwhile Chris put Haley's phone back down next to her purse just before Haley walked back into the studio form taking a bathroom break. She looked better emotionally than she did when she arrived having processed through her feelings. Amazing what a little song writing therapy can do for you.
"Let's crank out the vocals now. What do you say Keller?" Haley asked.
Chris shifted in his chair a bit uncomfortably before he replied, "OK, why don't you do the backing vocals first?"
Surprisingly she agreed without much fuss which he was pleased about. He had to think on his feet quickly with a way to kill a little more time until Nathan arrived. Haley walked into the booth and put the headphones over one ear while Chris worked cuing up the instrumental portion. Haley felt satisfied with only two takes of background vocals and seemed eager to finish the song.
"So ummmm Hales, I've got a teeny weeny confession to make." Chris said as he pushed the talk back button while he watched Haley for a reaction through the glass.
Her eyes widened as she stared back at him in disbelief. "Did you forget to hit record again? Keller, I'm telling you, if you can't figure out how to do this shit at home I refuse to record here." Haley exclaimed partly joking but partly serious. It wouldn't be the first time she had to try recreate a perfect moment.
"No it's all recorded thank you very much. Come on I haven't done that in a while. It's just…after hearing what happened today and last night I took it upon myself to sorta invite someone to catch the tail end of our session today." Chris confessed in a nonchalantly type of way.
"Do I even have to ask who it is? You just can't help yourself from meddling in other people's business can you?"
Chris smiled back at Haley with relief she hadn't flipped out on him in true James rage. "It's just this song…it's magic…something special I feel it. I thought you needed a little push in the right direction. Please don't hate me because I kinda used your phone to do it."
Haley had felt it too, she couldn't lie. The lyrics flowed out of her effortlessly and the song basically wrote itself. She and Chris had created magic once again.
"I hear ya. I'm not mad but I do need to deal with this on my own this time. I can't have you or Peyton deal with this for me. And apparently I need to up the security on my phone too. So what time should Nathan be here then?" She asked with a small chuckle. Sure, he should've asked her before doing it but she knew his actions came from a good place.
As if right out of a movie, Chris heard the doorbell ring and laughed out loud.
"Right about now. I couldn't have planned that better myself if I tried." Chris laughed to himself.
"Have him sit in there with you. Then let's finish the vocals." She instructed as she watched him for a confirmation nod. He shot her a cheeky grin just before he left the room to retrieve Nathan at the front door.
Nathan shifted his weight eagerly as he waited for Chris to answer the door. He felt reassured he was in the right place when he recognized Haley's car in the driveway. Suddenly he heard the door unlock and swing open to reveal a casual looking version of Chris.
"Well well, you found the place alright. I'm glad you could make it man." Chris said as he extended his hand for Nathan to shake.
Nathan shook his hand and then stepped inside now feeling a bit nervous to see Haley. They exchanged brief pleasantries as they made their way through the house to the recording studio. Nathan walked in to see two swivel desk chairs placed in front of a switchboard full of buttons and different colored dials. Haley was sitting on a wooden stood strumming on her guitar a steady chord progression with her eyes closed.
"She instructed that you sit here." Chris stated and then gestured to the chair next to his.
"Cool. So this is what it looks like huh?" Nathan replied as he took his seat while looking around briefly before settling his eyes on Haley.
Chris laughed and said, "This is where the magic happens! Now let's finish this up."
He watched closely as Chris flipped several buttons in a distinctive order and then held a button down before he spoke again.
"Alright Hales, you ready?"
Her eyes opened and she smiled once she saw Nathan comfortably seated next to Chris. She was further comforted when he genuinely returned her smile. She put the guitar down and then placed the headphones on again. She took a deep breath and looked to Nathan once more. He gazed back at her lovingly. It was in that moment Haley confirmed she was done running from her past and was going to let Nathan all the way in. Chris started the music track and then sat back bringing his hands behind his head. Haley closed her eyes as the music flowed and she began to sing the painful lyrics she'd just written hours earlier.
'It seems like yesterday that my world fell from the sky
It seems like yesterday I didn't know how hard I could cry
It feels like tomorrow I may not get by
But I will try
I will try
Wipe the tears from my eyes'
Nathan felt his heart break as he heard her painfully sing the lyrics along to the music.
"God, she's amazing." He found himself saying out loud.
"Tell me about it." Chris added as he watched Haley nail the song.
I'm beautifully broken and I don't mind if you know it
I'm beautifully broken and I don't care if I show it
Every day is a new day I'm reminded of my past
Every time there's another storm I know that it won't last
Every moment I'm filled with hope cause' I get another chance
But I will try
I will try
Got nothing left to hid'
Haley gave it everything she had and sang her heart out on a whole level she'd never reached before and it was all because of Nathan. She knew that and was ready for it. As the song came to a close, her confidence in her decision only intensified. She opened her eyes and waved Nathan into the booth with her. He looked towards Chris as he rose from his seat.
Chris pointed to his left and then said, "Atta way Prince Charming. Ya know what, I think I'm gonna run out for a bit to get some food. Make yourselves at home."
Haley moved a stack of sheet music off the stool next to hers as Nathan opened the door to the booth. She looked up at him was greeted with a proud grin.
"Oh my God, Hales that was amazing!"
She tucked a few stray hairs behind her ear almost bashful as she thanked him. He glanced around at the miscellaneous instruments and such that made up the recording booth as he settled on the stool next to hers. He finally settled back on Haley and she looked more at ease than earlier that morning.
"I'm really glad you came. Nathan, I'm so sorry about last night and how I acted this morning. You didn't deserve to be on the receiving end of all of that. There's just some stuff in my past that's rearing its ugly head again and I need to finally deal with it." Haley said with a renewed confidence in her voice. She could do this with him.
He nodded as she spoke and refrained from interjecting as she paused no doubt to gather her thoughts once more.
"The truth is Nathan, I'm hesitant to let you all the way in because I'm scared once you know the truth you won't want to be with me." She confessed as she fought back the tears that were attempting to flood her eyes and tried to look away from him. Nathan immediately reached out and touched her cheek with his hand. He looked deeply into her eyes and then said, "Haley I love you and you can always be honest with me. I want to be a safe place for you to turn to. You can tell me anything."
She bit her lip as his tender words wrapped around her heart as he tried to reassure her. She let out the breath she'd been holding as she listened to his response.
"This isn't easy to say out loud and to be honest aside from the band and Peyton I haven't spoken about it to anyone. My last serious relationship with Damien West was a rollercoaster of super highs and super lows. Things started off great and we were heading in the right direction. We had a few bumps in the road and I wrote them off to be normal relationship troubles. Slowly things between us began to change and he became a different person. He was very into appearances, going to clubs, getting a lot of press and making a name for himself. His acting career was slowly taking off and he was beginning to have trouble being known as Mr. Haley James." Haley concluded and then took a moment to take a deep breath before she continued her story.
"I won't get into too many details but let's just say there were a few incidents with Damien when a red flag was raised and I chose to look the other way because I thought in the end he loved me. I should've ended it then but like an idiot I thought I could change him or if I just made him happy things between us would get better. I went to visit him on location while he was away on location shooting a movie. We went out drinking with the cast and I had a few too many so he decided we needed to head back to his hotel room so I didn't embarrass him anymore in front of the cast. Damien was always unbearable when he got angry so once we got back to the room I tried to apologize for getting drunk. I wasn't sloppy drunk but I was clearly intoxicated by the time we got back. We eventually went to bed and ended up having sex that night from the bits and pieces I do remember. Little did I know that my own boyfriend was recording it only to use it to try and black mail me later." She stated softly.
The blood had begun to boil through Nathan's veins when she first spoke about her ex-boyfriend and only intensified as he could see the hurt still present in her eyes. He watched as she struggled to finally tell him the truth and tried his best to stay calm and not react too strongly to what she said. He just about lost it when she confessed that asshole had taped them having sex. Nathan Scott was now seeing red.
