The feelings withheld from you are enormous when you lived a life as I had. The freedom of being yourself is completely erased once that spotlight of popularity shines on you. At the time it had been all I knew. It was as if my father's star status for the Tree Hill Raven's was a gene, passed on automatically. At first I didn't play basketball because I wanted to, but because I was expected to. Dan would drill me for hours so I could live out his dream. Over time, the game took my heart as well, but I never felt as if I was completely playing for me. Time went on and I became a jerk, an all star, the cool kid.
I'd grown up thinking that I was better than all. Almost everyone I knew supported me of this. I was king of Tree Hill. Still I could never rid myself of that need to stop being Nathan Scott All Star and just be Nathan.
Lucas had been lucky you could say. He had escaped the dictatorship of Dan. Through his own talent and will he'd fallen in love with the game. He felt no need to be the best, or to compete against those who weren't his friends. He just wanted to play. That is why I despised him so. He had the liberty that I'd always wanted. He had liven with a mother who loved him and no father, except for Keith, who even as an uncle was a better father than Dan ever was to me. The part of me that takes over when I'm alone and can think, and realize I'm not happy, was always jealous of my older brother.
But then I met you, and you showed me that I could have what I longed for. Though it was an overwhelming process, you helped me through it. I've never been so happy as I am now that I can taste freedom. I can feel real love. For the sport that I'm becoming famous for, and for you. An individual, never caring about dumb stereotypes and peer pressure, just Haley. And you bring that out in me. The first day I walked through the doors of Tree Hill High holding hands with you, was the first real day of my life.
