Summary: Haley left right after high school graduation to go on tour. She and Nathan weren't married but were in a very serious relationship. She not only left Nathan but many others behind. Now that everyone is grown up, living their lives, and have become succesful Haley comes back and has to deal with everyones version of the truth behind her leaving.

Haley James was wearing a pair of black sweatpants wiith a matching sweatshirt and a white tanktop underneath. She was rolling her large luggage case, with a her carry-on hanging on the opposite shoulder. She wore big sunglasses to hide her identity, along with a L.A Lakers hat over her hair which was in a neat and sleak ponytail. As she walked through the airport, the occasional person would would do a double-take, but she would pay them no attention, and no one stopped her, mainly because of the much taller man walking with her.

"How may I help you today?" said the woman at the counter.

"I'm Haley James, my manager called earlier about having a car waiting for me when I arrive?" She really hoped they had her car, she just got off the plane and could feel the jet lag creeping up on her.

"Yes Ms. James, we have the key to your car right here, and we hope you have a wonderful stay here in Tree Hill North Carolina." the receptionist smiled.

"Thank you." she replied.

"Your welcome." the receptionist said.

Tree Hill. Thats where she was and where she wa going to be for her small vacation. Her manager Sarah had worked her magic and go Haley some time off before she had to go on tour to promote her new album. So the first place she though to go was to Tree Hill. It was going to be a suprise. She hadn't seen her parents since last Christmas. And she hadn't been in Tree Hill since she graduated high school. Since then the only way she saw her parents was at one of her six siblings houses during the holidays, or when she invited them up to stay with her in her penthouse in LA.

"Haley would you like me to drive?" asked the tall man that was walking with her.

"No, when was the last time I let you drive for me?" Haley teased.

"Never..." he answered

"So why would I let you start now?" she asked.

"Because you look tired." he replied.

"I'm not too tired to drive to my parents house." she retorted.

And that was the end of their daily 'who's driving today'arguement. They exited the airport and Haley pressed the panic button on the key find out where the car was. She and the man walked to the car who's alarm was blaring. Once they got closer to the car Haley saw it was a candy-apple red Lexus IS 250 C. Just by looking at the car Haley could tell that not only was Sarah thinking of her when she picked out the car ,but also for herself.

" Nice car, now I'm happy I'm not driving." the man stated while loading his and Haley's luggage into the truck.

"Why?" Haley asked. She was getting into the drivers seat and started the car. The man got in on the passenger side, once he had the car door shut and his seatbelt was on, Haley pulled out off the parking lot and take off down the street, to the destenation of her parents house.

"Cause its a chick's car. And if you hadn't noticed I'm all man" And that he was. His muscular build and his good looks, Haley couldn't deny that he was indeed 'all man'.

"Oh please, thats the only reason your here with me right now, to have someone feed you ego."

"I can't help it if your mom loves me-"

"More like she loves your body."

"Well its part of my job to look this way, and look at me, who wouldn't love this body?"

"I know but sometime I think my parents come to visit only to see you and the entertainment system." she replied.

"Of course they do." he said playfully

Haley loved their playfull banter. Thats why they worked so well together. Their banter continued until Haley pulled into her parents driveway. Haley and the man got their luggage out of the trunk and before they could even make it to the front porch, the door opened and Lydia James ran outside and went right over to the man.

"Oh I missed you, how have you been. Oh tell me everything, I just made peanut butter cookies, your favorite." Lydia said while taking his arm and pulling him into the house.

Haley walked into the house and heard three voices coming from the kitchen. She closed and locked the front after putting her luggage by the door. She walked into the kitchen without even being notice, so she decided to get everyone's attention because after all, these were her parents.

"Hello, your loving daughter, right here!" she waved her arms in the air and pointed to herself to get her parents to see her.

"Oh hi sweetheart, how are you doing?" Jimmy James asked her youngest daughter. He walked over to her and gave her a hug.

"Hi daddy, I missed you." she replied

"I missed you too. Come have a seat with us have some cookies."

"Hi baby. Sorry about earlier, but you know how it is, look at this body." Lydia said while motioning to the man, that arrived with Haley, like a game show girl.

"Now tell us, how is it to have finished another album?" Jimmy asked

"How did you know I finished... oh wait.. Taylor, she was there with me in LA when I finished and made plans to come back here to surprise you guys..."

"Never trust Taylor!" her parents replied in unison.

"Well now that my surprise is ruined, tell me what you guys have been up to."

And thats exactly what the four of them did. They spent hours talking and catching up about their lives since they last seen dinner they ordered pizza and continued to talk until it was dark outside. Once Haley and the man were settled Lydia and Jimmy went to bed. Before she went to sleep Haley stood by her window and looked down at the car she drove up in earlier, it made her think of Sarah.

Haley couldn't wait until Sarah made it to Tree Hill, she was her best friend and she missed her. They met eachother freshman year at Stanford, they were roommates and best friends ever since. She knew everything about Sarah and vice versa. But what Haley didn't know was that in a short time Sarah, along with her parents and a few more people would be her only allies. And the people that she expected to stay on her side no matter the circumstance, she will find out they now consider her the enemy.
