Nathan stood at the altar, admiring the crowds of people filling the pews as Lucas walked up.

"How are you feeling man?" Nathan asked.

"Honestly, I don't feel nervous, I'm just excited to enter this chapter of my life." Lucas

responded while smiling.

The bridesmaids walked up the isle with a bouquet of flowers in their hands. Brooke walked up and stood on the other side of the alter. Nathan shifted his eyes to the bridesmaid to the left of Brooke. There, the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on stood. She had a light pink dress on that fell to her ankles, and her hair was a gorgeous shade of light brown with curls throughout. His stare was met by a pair of chocolate brown eyes.

Nathan turned to Lucas and softly asked "Who is that?" His gaze never leaving hers.

"That's Hayley James; Peyton, Brooke and her used to be close in High School, but she moved away for college." "She's here for good now though." Lucas responded, noticing the way Nathan was looking at her.

"Wow." Was all that Nathan could mutter.

Hayley stood next to Brooke, eyeing the crowd, when her eyes locked with a pair of piercing blue eyes. Staring back at her was the most handsome man she had ever seen. He was wearing a suit that fit his body perfectly, fighting tightly around his toned muscles. His hair was dark brown and his smirk sent chills throughout her body. Their eye contact was broken by the sound of a piano and everybody rising to their feet. Peyton walked down the aisle, her gaze being met by Lucas's.

Lucas met her at the end of the aisle, taking her hands in his. "You look stunning." Lucas said softly. Peyton smiled and made her way to the alter.

Peyton and Lucas exchanged vows, and made their way, hand and hand down the aisle smiling. Brooke linked her arm through her boyfriend of one year, Julian, and followed Peyton and Lucas. Nathan and Hayley walked towards the reception together both with butterfly's in their stomach.

"I'm Nathan." He said admiring her beauty.

"Hayley." She responded with a smile. "Your Lucas's brother, right?" She asked filling the comfortable silence.

"Unfortunately." He responded with a chuckle.

"Well I'll see you inside?" Hayley asked, breaking off to see Peyton and Brooke.

"Definitely." Nathan responded while flashing his signature smirk, sending chills through her body.

Hayley stepped inside the reception with Brooke smiling.

"I'm telling you! He was the most handsome and kindest guy in the world!" Hayley said excitedly to Brooke.

"Sorry Hayley, but I already found that guy, and he is all mine." Brooke said as she smiled over to Julian. They met in college, when Brooke accidently stumbled into his room after a night of too much drinking. He spent the night making sure she got back safe with plenty of Advil for the next day. Ever since then, they have been known as the perfect couple.

Hayley scanned the reception looking for Nathan when she felt somebody walk up behind her.

"I thought you were going to come meet me." Nathan said with a smile

"Sorry, maid of honor stuff." Hayley said while laughing.

"Well, now that I found you, care to dance?" Nathan asked charmingly.

"I would love to." Hayley responded as Nathan took her hand leading her to the dance floor.

Nathan gently placed his arm around her waist and took Hayley's hand in his. Hayley's whole body tingled at his touch and she instantly blushed.

"So, Hayley James, tell me about yourself." Nathan asked while staring into her chocolate brown eyes.

"Well, I went to Stanford as a finance major, but my main passion was music." She replied.

"Wow, a Stanford graduate and a rock star!" Nathan said jokingly.

"I wouldn't go that far." Hayley responded. "My main audience is my shower head." She stated while laughing.

"You should sing for me some time, I bet you are really amazing." Nathan said with a genuine smile plastered on his face.

All Hayley could do was blush and smile. Something about Nathan feels so different to her. Every other guy she has talked to seems so disinterested in her other than her looks. Nathan seems genuinely interested in her.

She was now looking forward to her life back in Tree Hill.
