Here is a little One Tree Hill Story don't know if I will continue, it really depends on the Feedback, because vacations are over soon and School starts again.

Anyway, I do not own the Characters, their names or anything else that has to do with OTH besides the story line.

Oh and let me know if I need a beta, my English is still far away from being perfect even though I lived in the States for like ten Months.

She took a deep breath and told herself what her Mom always used to tell her, "Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Even though her Mom wasn't alive anymore, her words still followed Payton around, but right at this moment she wasn't sure if she did the right thing by following her Moms advice. Maybe she should have given Jake another shot, maybe he was the one and she was just too afraid to admit it so she had taken the easy way out…

"Hey , are you just standing here starring holes in the air or are you actually planning on going inside?" Peyton looked to her left were her other half was standing. "Hey Brook… I am not sure if I am ready… do you think I did the right thing yesterday?" Brook just groaned. "Okay skinny Butt listen to me and don't you dare to disturb my little speech!" Peyton just nodded. "We are friends for longer than countable, and I love you I really do, but since you started seeing Jake…you have changed, I mean I get it people change but you weren't you. Sometimes I barely recognized you, sure it is nice when you aren't always grumpy but not if in exchange you give me this shitty fake smile because Jake wanted you to loosen up, or when you started to get rid of your Drawings. Okay fine some of them are depressing but that is who you are. You are a human being with flaws but Jake couldn't deal with them cause that boy didn't understood you he wasn't worthy of my best friend! Peyton you are complex. You are brave. And you don't follow the Stream, you go against it but with Jake you were like the freaking foundation of that stream, and that is not you. Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. And the Peyton I know and learned to love was herself." Peyton couldn't hold back her amusement. "Did you seriously just quote Oscar Wilde? Since when do you know any quotes? Who are you and where is my best friend?" Brook just pinched her in the ribs and headed to the school building but was hold back. "Thank you for everything you just told me…I really needed it." Then she was embraced in one of the rare hugs Peyton gave. Together they headed to their first class.

It was lunch time when the two best Friends met the next time. "Did you see Nate?" Peyton smiled. "Nice to see you too, Brook. I had a great day so far. Math sucked but doesn't it always." Brook just pinched her BF again. "Hey that was the second time today! Stop doing that, it actually hurts." Brook just grunted. "Then stop earning them with your actions. So did you see Nate? Oh and also if you would have some more pounds on your rips it wouldn't hurt that much." Peyton just raise her hands. "Sorry Mom, and no I didn't see Nathan, no reason to insult me." Brook rolled her eyes and turned around to continue her search for Nathan while Peyton yelled after her. "That wasn't very Lady like Davis!" Peyton received her BF's middle finger and couldn't stop herself. "Why so cheery today Captain, and love you too." Then she turned back to her drawings. Unknown to her the scene between her and her best friend didn't went by unnoticed. A certain guy had seen everything and couldn't stop staring at the curly blonde. He really needed to find out who the heck she was.

Brook was wandering around the mostly empty school corridors to find a certain brown haired basketball player. She had already looked at the gym, the cafeteria and outside, but she couldn't find him at either of these places. She already had given up when she heard a familiar laughter. It came surprisingly from the Tutoring center. She couldn't imagine that she would find Nathan there but gave it a shot anyway. What she saw surprised her big Time. "Nate, what the heck are you doing here?" He looked up and gave her a small smile. "I take responsibility." Brook raised her left eyebrow. "What do you mean?" He stood up. "I am failing in nearly every class and Whitey told me I need to change something or he would kick me out of the Team…" Brook nodded. "I get that but I mean your grades are bad since like Sophomore Year and he never said anything, so why now?" Nate looked to the ground. "Cause he found someone who can replace me, if I don't do what he wants me to do the other guy is going to play. Anyway what are you doing here Davis, never took you for the study kind. Maybe I was wrong and you are the typical movie Cheerleader. Bevin 2.0 this year or what's going on?" Brook gasped and slapped him in the stomach but Nate just laughed. "I am actually here because of Peyton." Immediately concern showed on Nate's face. Peyton was like a little sister to him and Brook knew it. "Is everything okay with Peyton?" Brook looked him directly in the eyes. "I am not sure Nate, she pretends it is and maybe it really is but I am not sure. I am really concerned. What she did in the last months. She isn't anymore. I mean she was always grumpy, moody and skinny. But since Jake… she changed and I mean she ended it but the changes she made they scare me. She doesn't listen to her music anymore, stopped drawing and has no opinion to anything. She isn't my Peyton anymore." Nate nodded. "I actually saw her with her drawing folder today and I think she did draw something but I get your point. She did change. Let's just give her some time and let's figure out if those changes turn out good or are really bad. I think she is strong. I wouldn't be too concerned, but if she is going to start something with Tim please tell me immediately because than she is ready for the Doc." Brook smiled after his last words and nodded. Nate was right they should give Peyton some time. "Thanks Nate and good luck with the studying, who knows maybe you can give me some tutoring in the near future?" She gave him a flirty smile and a wink. Nate just smiled and shook his head. There was definitely no One like Brook Davis.

When Nate went to the gym a blond guy caught his eye. He frowned. It couldn't be him. He jogged towards him and when he looked into his blue eyes he knew for sure. "What the hell are you doing here?" The blond just looked to the side with a smirk. "Nice to see you too baby brother." Nate was seriously pissed by the last words of his half-brother. "Don't call me like that. You have no freaking right to call me your brother." The blond ignored him and continued his way towards the gym. "Hey what do you think you are doing? Piss off, this is my town, my school, oh and my freaking Team. Just go back to Colorado, where you and your slut of a mother moved too." His older brother punched him right in his face. "Never call my mother a slut again; it was your mother who slept with a taken man. Not that I am sad that I didn't grew up with a dick like Dan Scott. You know I should thank your Mother, in which rehabilitation center is she staying right now?" Nate threw himself against his older brother and in a matter of seconds a circle of students had built around them yelling and routing.

"Nathan Scott, Stop this shit and get up." It was Peyton who yelled at him loudly, but Nathan ignored her, what should turn out as a huge mistake. He punched his brother hard in the ribs and could hear the rib of his brother cracking. From that moment everything happened in seconds. He felt pain in his shoulder and turned his head. Peyton had punched him. "What the fuck Peyton? You are supposed to take my side!" She just gave him a look that could kill and kneeled next to his brother. "Hey is everything okay with you? I am so sorry that Nathan attacked you. Just try to get up and I will bring you to the nurse. My name is Peyton by the way." The blond guy looked in the green eyes of the curly blond and was instantly lost in them, he knew this fight was worth it, because now he knew who the girl from the cafeteria was. "Hi, I am Lucas…"
