So it's been almost a year since I updated, and I'm incredibly sorry about that. Thank you all for sticking around and I hope this chapter can help make it up to you.

"What about Chris?" Lucas asked his best friend, knowing that whatever she was hiding was serious by the terrified look growing on her face.

"I…he…oh Luke!" Haley managed to sob out before bursting into tears.

"Come here Hales, you need to tell me what's going on." He said as Haley curled up in his hospital bed with him.

"Luke…he…attacked me."

"What do you mean byattacked?"

"Part of the reason I left was because…the last I saw of him, he…"

"Hales?" Luke asked, resting a reassuring arm over his friend's body.

"He raped me." Haley whispered. "He held a knife to my throat, raped me, and almost killed my baby." Haley said, lifting up her shirt to show Lucas her bruise-covered stomach.

"What?!" Luke said, ready to jump out of his hospital bed and ready to kill the bastard. "What did Nathan have to say abut this?"

"Umm…well…he doesn't know yet."

"Hales, you have to tell him." Lucas said, growing weaker after raising his blood pressure when hearing the news.

"I know. I'm just afraid. We've just started getting along again."

"Haley, this is in no way your fault. But you do need to tell your husband."

"Okay." Haley said, giving in.

"Where is the son of a bitch now?"

"I really don't know. I just ran straight back to Nathan, where I knew I needed to be." Haley told Lucas with a small smile attempting to break through her tears.

"I know, and he must be so much happier with you home. You should've seen him…he was…"

"Miserable? Cause I know I was without him."

"Just…tell him hales, he will understand. He may jump on the next plane to New York looking forward to killing the asshole, but he'll understand." Lucas said, giving into the drowsiness taking over his body, and finally falling asleep.

Haley got off of Lucas' bed, and exited the room, carefully closing the door behind her as to not wake up her best friend.

"Tutor girl, what's wrong? Is Lucas okay?" Brooke asked, hurrying over to Haley, noticing her puffy eyes, and tear-stained cheeks.

"What? Lucas is fine, actually he just woke up."

"Then…why are you so sad? And oh my god! He's awake?!"

"Um…it's a long story…but yea, but he just fell back asleep, but he's conscious."

"That's great! And, Haley, you know if you ever need to talk…I'm here." Brooke told her, pulling her into a hug.

"Thanks Brooke. Um…have you seen Nathan? There's something I need to tell him…"

Meanwhile…

"Wait, so your wife, is the Haley James Scott?"

"Yup."

"And Lucas, went after Peyton, while she was dating you, but then you guys broke up, but then Brooke went after Lucas, and they went out. But Lucas cheated on Brooke with Peyton anyway?"

"Pretty much."

"Wow, Tree Hill sure is weird." Danielle said laughing, trying to catch up on all the dirty details of her family's history.

"Um… Nathan, can I talk to you?" Haley asked, walking into the pair of new-found siblings laughing.

"Oh my god! Can I have your autograph?" Danielle asked, in shock that her new favorite singer was in fact standing right in front of her.

"Sure." Haley said, laughing. "But you do know we are related now…right?"

"This is too much!" Danielle asked, gratefully taking the signature from her half brothers wife. "I'll see you guys later." Danielle finished, walking away with a wave.

"What is it Haley?" Nathan asked, seeing the look on his wife's face.

"I don't exactly know how to tell you this… so I'm just going to spit it out. Chris held a knife to my throat, raped me, and tried to kill my baby." She said extremely quickly, embracing herself with Nathan's body, and beginning to cry again.

"Oh, Haley." Nathan said, trying to comfort his wife, while staying calm and not going to kill the bastard.

"I'm so sorry Nathan."

"Haley, don't you ever once think this is your fault. I love you, and I'm sorry that you ever had to go through something like that." Nathan said, pulling away to look into Haley's sad eyes, and bending down to give her a reassuring kiss.

Meanwhile…

"I can't believe Dan cheated on Deb…with Jules. It's all just too surreal." Karen said to Keith over a cup of coffee.

"I think I'm going to divorce Jules." Keith confessed.

"I love you." Karen admitted.

Meanwhile…

"Mom, I know Dad was an ass to you… but you had no right to do what you did." Nathan said, finding his mother sitting in an empty hallway.

"I know, son, and I will never forgive myself."

"I don't know if I will ever forgive you either. Which is why I turned you in… I'm sorry it came to this Mom. I really am." Nathan said, walking away. Leaving the cops to arrest his mother.
