A/N ok so this takes place right after the episode with the sex tape, and they haven't had the prom yet in this. I am going to probably redo the prom to be my way, like with no creepy stalker derrick! And Haley is not pregnant! She is not having a baby and her and Nathan are still on the rocks! I took some artistic licensee with this so DON'T HATE ME!
Disclaimer – I don't own One Tree Hill, that is Mark's job and he is AWSOME! I would like to own how ever Nathan Scott or Lucas Scott if anyone wants to give me them….
Nathan Scott was playing basketball at the river court in Tree Hill. It was his way of relieving stress, and he had a lot of stress. He was about to graduate high school, he had a wife, a crazy father and a suicidal mother. Nathan had been playing basketball since 6 in the morning. He had no clue what time it was, but he didn't care. He just wanted to play.
Nathan was always Mr. Popular in school, the king. He was the star player for the Tree Hill Raves, he always got the hottest girls, and he was damn sexy. Nathan was bound for Duke and he had his whole life in front of him. Everything had been going smoothly till last night. Nathan threw a huge party at his parent's house; he was having the time of his life. He even got to reconnect with his friend Brooke Davis. Then, as always, once things were going great they took a turn for the worst. Some of the guys found an old tape and put it on. It was a sex tape of Brooke and Nathan. It had been from their sophomore year, and they were both drunk off their asses.
Nathan started to think about that night more until he heard a voice, "Well, if it isn't bastard jock." Nathan turned around to see his ex girlfriend, Peyton Sawyer standing in front of him. Peyton had been Nathan's on and off girlfriend during the time of the sex tape. When Nathan and Brooke had has sex, Nathan and Peyton were broken up, though they had only broken up 5 minutes before.
"Hi Peyton," Nathan said. He could have easily said something back at her but it didn't feel right. He had already hurt her enough. They stood there for a few minutes in silent. Nathan looked at her. Her blonde hair was once again curly, just like when they were going out. She had a red and white leather jacket on, which always confused Nathan. Peyton was the kind of person who hated hunting and animal killings yet she always wore a leather jacket.
"So, where's the porn star?" Peyton sat taking the basketball from him. Nathan knew right away that she was talking about Brooke.
"Peyton, that's not fair," Nathan scowled her. He took the basketball back. He hated when Peyton acted like a total bitch.
"I'm not being fair! Are you kidding me? You sleep with my ex best friend and tape it and I'm not being fair!?" Peyton nearly screamed. Nathan could tell how upset she was but she was over reacting, everyone was. Though they were mostly going off at Brooke not him, which really annoyed him. It wasn't as if Brooke had drugged him with whiskey, medication and Viagra. "I was just coming to tell you that your wife is looking for you."
Nathan sighed then he turned and left without saying good bye, if Peyton was gonna be an ass he was gonna be one right back at her. Nathan decided to walk the long way home, he still needed to think.
He started to think about Brooke. He and Brooke were best friends when they were little kids. Nathan remembered the first time they met. Their parents had been going to the same country club and it was a huge party.
Flashback to a 7 year old Nathan and Brooke
"Mom, do I have to wear this stupid tie? What if it comes to life and straggles me?" Nathan whined as the got out of the car. He was dressed in a black suit with a red tie, he hated it. He looked at his father who was wear a blue tie and also tugging at it. Nathan snickered. Deb turned and looked at her husband.
"Honestly, Dan," she snapped. Dan stopped tugging and fixed his tie with an embarrassed chuckle. Then he walked over to his wife and kissed her cheek.
"I'm sorry sweety, it's just you tied this thing to damn tight, it's like you are trying to kill me," he said in a quieter voice.
"Oh, trust me Dan, if I tried to kill you, you would be dead," she said with a wink. She held Nathan's hand and they all walked inside. They went in and Nathan looked around quickly and he didn't see any other kids. He frowned. "Oh dear, well don't worry hunny, I'm sure the other families with kids will be coming soon."
Then they saw Sherri Smith, Tim, Nathan's friend's mom, walking towards them. "Deb, Dan how are you," she came up to them and hugged Deb and gave her a light kiss on the cheek then she hugged Dan and gave him a kiss a little too close to the mouth.
"So Sherri, where is Tim?" Deb asked putting her arm through Dan's. She looked around, if Tim were here she would be able to know.
"Oh, I didn't bring Tim. I don't think anyone brought their kids, except you," Sherri waved good bye and went over to the bar.
Deb looked down at Nathan with a sorry look but then lend him over to the table. Deb tucked a napkin in Nathan's shirt, which he pulled out right away. Then Deb sighed and took Dan's hand and led him to the dance floor. Dancing was the best way to make rounds and hear what other people were saying. Nathan looked around and saw all the adults dancing. All the tables were empty, except one. There was a pretty girl that looked to be his age sitting down at a table looking bored. Nathan didn't know what to do. He never talked to girls before, they always talked to him in class but they would usually say, "Hi, Nathan," then run away. Nathan looked at this girl, she had long brown hair, a cute button nose, pretty eyes, and her white dress was very pretty. Nathan hated being alone and he could tell that the girl was bored. He got up and fixed his tie, like his dad would do and went over to her.
"Um, excused me," he said. The girl turned around, Nathan realized she was even cuter up close. She looked at him with a mix of joy and confusion. "I'm Nathan Scott," he said politely, even though he hated having manners he knew that they were important. His dad told him the only way girl would talk is if you use manners, Nathan thought that meant that there was like a voice activated on off switch on their voices.
The little brunette jumped down from her chair, "I'm Brooke Davis." She said smiling. "I'm so happy there is another kid here. How old are you?" she asked bubbly.
"7, how old are you?" Nathan said. Then all of a sudden Brooke squealed loudly.
"Really? So am I! I just moved to Tree Hill. And my parents dragged me to this stupid party, and I didn't think there was gonna be any other kids my age. Then I had to put on this dress, which makes me look like a big cotton ball," she said talking fast. Brooke had a lot of energy. She didn't seem to stop talking.
"I don't think you look like a big cotton ball, maybe a marshmallow, but not a cotton ball," Nathan said laughing. Brooke stuck her tongue out at him. Then they looked around at the adults, then Brooke grabbed Nathan's hand and dragged him onto the dance floor. "What are you doing Brooke?"
She giggled, "We are gonna dance, silly goose!" She put his hand on her wait and she put hers on his shoulder, they looked like a mini version of the other couples. Brooke was having the time of her life. She started to listen to the song.
And Id give up forever
to touch you
cause I know that you feel me somehow
Youre the
closest to heaven that ill
Ever be
And I dont want to go home
right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can
breathe is your life
cause sooner or later its over
I just dont
want to miss you tonight
And I dont want the world to see
me
cause I dont think that theyd
Understand
When everythings
made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Brooke didn't quite understand what they were talking, but it sounded pretty. Brooke looked at Nathan who was watching his feet, trying not to step on hers. Brooke giggled. Nathan looked up at her, "What is so funny?" He was confused.
She kept giggling and then she danced them over to a pair of adults, "Excuse me, but what song is this called?" she asked sweetly.
"This is called Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls," the woman said smiling at her. She looked at the two kids dancing and couldn't help but want to gush at how cute they looked together.
Brooke giggled again then turned to Nathan, "That is the name of our song Nathan!"
"Our song?"
""Yes, ours! It's the first song we ever danced to! And now when ever you listen to it, you will think of me!" she giggled again. They kept dancing and then Nathan got an idea and he twirled her. Brooke had an even bigger smile on her face.
Across the room Deb and Dan were watching their son dance with a young girl. "I guess those dance lessons paid off, huh?" Deb whispered to Dan. She kept smiling. "Look at our son!" Then a woman tapped Deb on the shoulder, Deb turned around.
"I couldn't help but over hear, that is your son?" the woman asked. Deb nodded her head and the woman laughed. "That is my daughter he is dancing with, I am Madeline Davis, this is my husband Anthony. We have been watching those to and they look like a little bride and groom."
Deb laughed, "I am Deb Scott this is my husband Dan. They do, they look like they are dancing at their wedding."
"Well I guess that makes us in-laws," Madeline said laughing. The two women continued to watch their children. After the song ended it was time to each, and Nathan took Brooke's hand and kissed the top.
"Thank you very much for the dance, Brooke" Nathan said. He had learned from watching his dad how to be a charmer.
"You are welcome, Nathan," then Brooke skipped off to her table.
Nathan smiled as he thought about it, it was the start of their friendship. Brooke had always been there for him. He took out his Ipod and put his headphones in. He walked the rest of the way home listening to Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
