*Haley's P.O.V*
I stomped around my room, sometimes catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror.
I can't believe my parents asked the Scott's over for dinner. Sure, we live next each other, but that doesn't mean I actually like them. Dan Scott is the world's biggest prick of the planet, sticking his head in every subject that he could.
My father Jimmy James and Dan are co-owners of Scott-James Lawyers, and I often hear him and my father arguing over something that doesn't matter anyways.
Dan Scott wants to be in the lead for everything, and everything that happens in the company is a decision Dan made.
Sometimes I can't believe that Deborah Scott married him, because she has been the nicest person I've ever known, next to my mother off course.
Lydia James, my mother is the best mother any kid could wish of. She has always been straight to the point with me, she even told me out loud at church that I've been wearing the most ugliest poncho ever made. It hasn't always been easy living with a father that is constantly away for business, and a mother that thinks everything is funny.
I've been clumsy my entire life, and there was one time I've been shopping with my mom and as I walked out of a store, I tripped and fell down face forward on the curb of the sidewalk. Most mothers would run over to their daughter and ask if they were okay, but no, my mom was laughing like crazy.
But I love my mom anyways, I'd rather have a mother where you can tell anything to and have fun with, than having a mother that is very strict.
Moving on, we have Nathan Scott. The youngest son of Dan Scott. Dan Scott and Karen Roe were high school sweethearts, but when Karen got pregnant of Lucas, Dan left for college and got Deb pregnant. If you talk about karma. Lucas Scott is my best friend, and enemy of Nathan. I often wonder how it is even possible that those two can be related, and still can be so different. But then if you think, Lucas was raised by Karen and Keith, the most loving people I've ever known.
And Nathan was raised by Deb and Dan, Deb is a really nice person, don't get me wrong.
It is Dan that always has been a bad influence for Nathan, Deb knew that, but was afraid to tell something about it.
Deb has been watching Nathan growing up as the person she didn't want him to become, his father.
Nathan is an ass to pretty much everyone, full of himself and rude. He has every single girl at his feet, begging him to date them. I admit that the guy is pretty hot, and Nathan surely knows how to take advantage of it. Every time he gets in trouble, he manages to get away with it because the basketball team needs him.
Nathan is the star player, along with Lucas of the Tree Hill Ravens. The team has been getting better ever since Nathan and Lucas joined the team, people even say the team was better since the last team that has been getting us to the State Champion Ships, Dan's old team.
Dan was a very good player, he had the chance to play college ball but had to back out when he busted his knee. He never got over it, and has been living his dreams through Nathan.
When I'm swimming in our pool I often hear Dan yell to Nathan, saying he's not good enough. Not worthy to be called the star of the team. One time Dan has been on Nathan's neck too much, that Nathan got enough of it and punched his own father. Dan was about to punch back, but couldn't since my father came between them.
My father often got Dan out of trouble, sometimes taking the blame for him. My father has this ability to calm people down by just talking to him. My father could be trusted, Nathan knew that.
So one day he has gone to my father and just talked to him, opening up to him.
I found out about that when I passed his study one day and saw Nathan in his arms, crying.
I asked my father what was wrong, but he didn't wanted to say anything about it. He just said that Nathan had a hard time and needed a friend.
My father was the only person Nathan respected, I knew that because he hasn't been rude to me or anything. He doesn't talk to me, he doesn't even like me.
But I knew if I wasn't the daughter of Jimmy James, and still be friends with Lucas, he would be a dick to me.
We never got along, I can pretty much remember since we were kids that we did not like each other, when Deb came over with him as we were one or two years old, Nathan would crawl over to me and pull my hair while I hit him with one of my dolls.
Now the physical abuse is over, and the silent treatment is working for us.
I mean, he never says anything to me, but I can see it in his eyes that he despises me because I'm friends with Lucas.
But what happens if something turns our world upside down, and the silence would have to be broken?
