Okay so new story!!!!. I know everyone reading my other story aren't going to be very happy but I had such an inspiration for this idea I had to post it. It's going to be hard UD two stories at once but because I love this idea so much, I think it will work.

The story is set back at the beginging of season 3. Season 1 was the same but in season 2 Haley never met Chris and left for tour. Now Lucas and Brooke have gotten back together and Haley and Nathan's marriage is good. Haley meets Chris and starts doing music just like in season 2. Jake never left even though Nikki took Jenny, him and Peyton are together. Nathan and Brooke are very good friends, Nathan used to like Brooke but since he met Haley it's changed. I think thats all you need to know.

This is the prologue, and chapter one is set 6 months before this.

Give it a go please!!!.

By the way this is a BRUCAS story with naley and small snippets of brathan and jeyton.

"I guess we had the same idea."

The dark-haired Scott brother turned around to find the beautiful brunette that matched the husky voice.

"you mind," she pointed to the space on the bench next to him, he shook his head and she lowered herself onto the wooden bench.

"How come you left the party?" Nathan whispered after a few moments of silence.

"because it's not fun anymore." she breathed back. He nodded without asking questions. "Lucas slept with Peyton." she let out a sigh as she wrapped her arms around herself.

"I'm sorry Brooke," he looked at the girl sitting next to him, she looked tired, she was biting her lip to stop herself from crying "Haley's gone."

She snapped her head round to stare at the boy next to her. "I'm so sorry Nathan,"

He nodded, "me too." She placed her head on his shoulder and grabbed hold of his shirt, pulling herself into his embrace. She couldn't stop the tears falling. Things were pretty shit in Tree Hill for everyone lately.

He threw his arm around her waist and pulled her into his chest. He knew she was hurting just as much as he was. When he heard her start to sob he kissed the top of her head lightly. He had known Brooke since they were kids. He didn't like seeing her this way.

"Nathan why is it us that always get screwed over. We're never going to be happy" she mumbled into his chest.

"Brooke don't give up on it, Lucas made a mistake" he placed his hand on her cheek and she lifted her head to look at him

"I was the one who made the mistake. I thought he would be different this time, obviously not"

"I guess you right," he turned away from her face to look at the boat passing by on the river. "Love is a lie, well ours is." he spat bitterly.

"I wish we could just leave you know, get out of this small town, meet new people, create new stories," she whispered dreamily as she laid back on the bench staring up at the sky.

"Yeah, this place is full of shit." he copied her, lying down next to her.

She turned to look at him, "there's nothing stopping us, let's go Nathan, let's leave this place, find some place new!" she said excitedly.

"Brooke we can't just leave, where would we even go?" he looked at her with a strange expression.

"Anywhere. We can go to California first, stay with my parents for a bit, it's not like they'd even notice we were there" she had her full, Brooke Davis-dimple smile on her face as she thought about it. She wanted to leave. There was nothing she wanted to stay for, Tree Hill felt less like home than ever.

Nathan thought about it. If he was out of Tree Hill they're would be nothing to remind him of Haley. He had no reason to stay. He had always wanted to get away from his dad, maybe this was his chance.

"Okay," he whispered in her ear.

She looked at him, surprised. She hadn't actually thought he would agree and she didn't like the idea of starting new by herself.

"Really?" she replied, smile creeping back to her face.

"Yeah, let's do this Brooke." She let out a little scream of joy as he grabbed hold of her hand.

They were lying there together, staring at the sky. Hopes for something new, filling there brains.
