So I created this story about three years ago, posted three chapters, and did not write for the past three years. I am now getting back into writing and have updated my fanfiction profile so I have decided to try this story again due to the fact that a lot of people seemed to like it. I have edited the first few chapters and plan on adding more to the story. I really hope you guys like it! -Brielle
Haley James grew up being raised by her 5 older brothers after her parents death. With them so overprotective, no boy dares to be anything more than friends with Haley, scared of her what would happen to them. Then, the player of Tree Hill High takes an interest in Haley. After a while, Haley starts to develop feelings too. Her brothers definitely would not approve but these feelings she is having is leading her not to care. Find out what happens as you read Drawn to You. Below are some descriptions and characters that I feel you should know before the story begins.

Haley is the closest with Braxton and Brandon out of all the siblings.
******Every James boy has played varsity basketball at Tree Hill High School*****
Haley (Junior at Tree Hill High, 16, turns 17 on September 20th) :
Very focused on her studies.
Does not play sports but is good at basketball from growing up around her brothers.
Tutors in the tutor center.
Best friends with Brooke Davis.
Grew up around 5 boys and Brooke Davis so she has the perfect combination of tomboy and girliness.
Additional Notes:
Their parents, Lydia and Jimmy James, died when Haley was 10 (almost 7 yrs ago) and they grew up under the care of their oldest brother. He filed for custody when he found out his aunts wanted to split them up. He had already turned 18, the house was completely bought, and his parents left him (being the only adult) plenty of money to take care of his siblings.
The 5 boys enjoyed rough housing with Hayley and teasing her. But being that she grew up with 5 boys, she was very tough. She could easily fight them, even when they are all like half a foot taller than her, and she teases them back. Life in the James house is always crazy, wild, and chaotic. And that is just the way they like it.
Being the "James baby girl" her brothers are very overprotective. Alex, Logan, and Landon are still very protective, but they are the most reasonable when it comes to Haley. They understand that she is a teenage girl and that they are boys and do not understand anything that is going through her mind. Brandon and Braxton on the other hand are muscular guys who do not let any guy come within 10 feet of their baby sister.
Out of all of her siblings, Haley is closest with Brandon and Braxton. They are a grade ahead of her. They are the ones who are there for her when she needs it most. Alex, logan, and Landon all know Brandon and Braxton are her favorites. Brandon and Braxton are the first to know if something is wrong with Haley, besides Brooke.
Even though they are her favorites, Haley has the most fights with Brandon and Braxton.
The 6 of them lived in a three story house with 5 rooms. Instead of anyone sharing a room though, Haley converted the attic which was the entire third floor into her own living area. It even had a bathroom so she didn't have to share with her brothers. It was quite big and her best friend Brooke especially loves all the storage space for clothes, shoes, makeup, etc. Haley and Brooke are both Juniors at Tree Hill.
Additional Characters:
Brooke Davis:
Haley's best friend since they were 4 and met in preschool when Brooke told Haley that she loved her dress. Brooke loves that Haley comes from a big family. Brooke does not have any siblings and her parents are never around. The last time she saw them was summer before freshman year. As some sort of compensation for not being around, they give Brooke butt loads of money because they are filthy rich. Brooke loves shopping and clothes and wants to become a fashion designer. She makes sure to keep Haley just girly enough since she was raised by all boys. Brooke is dating Lucas Scott.
Lucas and Nathan Scott:
Lucas and Nathan are twins but they are absolutely nothing alike. Lucas is blonde while Nathan has dark brown hair. Lucas is expressive about his feelings while Nathan is closed off. Nathan is taller and more muscular than Lucas. Nathan wants to play basketball in the NBA for the Charlotte Bobcats whereas Lucas wants to become an author and write his own book. The only things these boys have in common is their love for basketball, their shared spirit for Duke University, and their enchanting bright blue eyes. They are juniors at Tree Hill High School along with Haley and Brooke. Their mom, Karen, owns a small cafe called Karen's Cafe which Haley works at. Their dad Dan owns a car dealership and is mayor of Tree Hill. Since both boys play varsity basketball, they are really good friends with Haley's brothers Brandon and Braxton who are seniors on the team.
Lucas Scott:
Lucas is dating Haley's best friend so they have gotten to know each other. They have a lot of things in common regarding topics such as literature, music, and other interests. Lucas is the point guard for the varsity boys basketball team.
Nathan Scott:
The ultimate player of Tree Hill High. A total badass that flirts with any girl he sees. Star player and captain of the ravens varsity basketball team. Best friends with his brother Lucas and Braxton James. He is friends with Brandon also, they just have never really talked.
So that is the gist of the story and the main characters. I don't know if I made everything confusing but I wrote this to kind of help you guys understand better so I hope it actually helped. I am actually super excited for this story and have already written down a bunch of ideas. I have already started on the first chapter too so that should be up soon. I have a really good feeling about Drawn to You and I am hoping that there are a few of you out there who believe in this story as much as I do. That being said, the first chapter will be posted soon. Please follow or favorite the story and review any ideas you have or maybe just some words of encouragement to boost my confidence of the story. It would be very much appreciated. Thank you all so much and I hope to see you in a couple of days when I post my first chapter. XOXOXO
