Okay so I got this new story idea from the movie, "Boys on the Run", co-starring James Lafferty. If you've never seen it, man you must! It was very good, especially seeing hot James as a teenager! Any who, so I thought I would partially rewrite it in One Tree Hill mode--specifically Naley format.
Summary: Nathan and Lucas are two sixteen year old boys who got sent to a boot camp for stealing a car. One day they manage to escape and decide to head for the mountains, while along the way meeting mysterious Haley James and Brooke Davis as the four unite on their journey of survival. But more than just friends are made... what happens when attraction finds one another and is love lurking in the shadows? Read to find out!
"Psst, Lucas! Lucas! Hey Luke!"
Nathan sighed, sitting up and reaching under his mattress. He pulled out a round wooden object the size of a baseball and swung his arm , throwing it straight into the back of his brother. The blonde shot up hissing, his hands going directly to the target.
"Shh!", Nathan warned, putting his forefinger on his lips as Lucas turned around to glare at him, still rubbing the sore spot.
"Dammit Nathan. I told you to stop doing that."
Nathan shrugged.
"It was the only way I could wake you up without leaving my bed. You sleep like the dead, man."
Lucas rolled his eyes, turning on his side towards his brother's direction.
"What do you want?"
"You remember what tomorrow is, don't you?"
At Lucas' blank stare, he shook his head in annoyance.
"Shipment day, Luke. When the trucks come in to deliver the food--right where we're working."
"So?" Lucas said, wondering just what in the hell his brother was up to. It wasn't everyday he woke him up in the middle of the night to talk about the trucks arriving, though he did have a plan dang near every week.
"So, we get outta here."
"And just how are we going to do that?"
"Do I have to tell you everything? We sneak into the back when no one's looking then it'll just take us away", Nathan finished, smiling smugly. Lucas thought about it for a moment and then shook his head.
"No way, not another one of your bonehead ideas."
"Come on! It'll work Luke, I promise! You want to get out of here don't you? Or maybe you just want to sit here and be forced to 'suck it'", Nathan emphasized and Lucas closed his eyes remembering all the times he nearly had to do that, but didn't because he was saved by...
Nathan. His brother.
He knew he owed it to him and even if he thought it was a bad idea somewhere deep down he didn't want to be here anymore and that somewhere came out.
"Fine."
Nathan smiled in triumph as Lucas rolled over, pulling the sheets up to his neck, only the steady breathing of the occupants in the room audible. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, a very long day indeed.

Lucas took a deep breath, fidgeting with the hem of his shirt . Today was the big day and he hoped to god they didn't get caught, again. Nathan looked over his way and noticing him playing with the edge of his shirt knew he was nervous.
"Relax Luke, everything is gona work out fine."
"Well if it isn't the Scott brothers, lookin' to get your asses beat?"
The two stopped in the middle of the hallway they were currently walking through as Damien West and his pack of friends approached. Nathan clenched his fists, glaring daggers into his enemies eyes. Damien chuckled, looking towards Lucas who also had a glare on as he made his way in front of the blonde.
"What are you staring at punk?"
"Leave him alone", Nathan growled, stepping in front of his brother. Damien grabbed his collar roughly, bringing him closer.
"You going to do something about it?"
"Yeah this!"
Nathan drew his arm back and punched Damien square in the nose, the brunette falling back as his hand clutched his face.
"What's going on here!"
The security officer ran at the group of boys, pulling a night stick from his belt as Damien regained his footing, blood trickling from his left nostril.
"Nothing, we were just going", he said, signaling for his cronies to leave and started to make his way down the hallway. After he reached a few feet behind Nathan, he turned back to the scrawny raven-haired kid.
"This isn't over."
Nathan just smirked, watching as he made his down the long corridor.
An hour later they were working in the kitchen, white aprons tied around their body. Nathan watched as the deliverer entered the room, boxes in tow.
"Lucas come on, now's our chance."
Lucas nodded as he followed his brother to the giant trash can, grabbing ahold of one end as Nathan latched onto the other. Silently, they walked out of the back door, setting the garbage down and tearing off their aprons before hopping into the open doorway of the rear of the meat truck. The doors slammed shut and the clicking of the lock could be heard. Fifteen minutes later, Lucas sat shivering, his breath coming out in white vapor.
"It's cold in here", he whispered and the audible sound of his teeth chattering drifted to his ears.
"It is a freezer", Nathan informed, "at least we won't starve."
He pointed to the chunks of raw beef hanging from the ceiling and the blonde scrunched up his face in disgust. A few moments later, the truck stopped and a banging noise bounced off the walls as the driver's voice rang out.
"Okay you two, let's go! Your warden called!"
The pot-bellied driver unlocked the doors, opening them a little. The right one--to which he was standing in front of--flung open, knocking him over the head and off his feet as Nathan and Lucas hurriedly scurried out.
"Ha, take that!", Nathan laughed, throwing something at the fat man's face and sprinted off as he groggily started to arise.
After miles of running and many cut-across' later, the two slowed down their pace as the sun set over the horizon. They walked down the trash ridden street, taking in their surroundings.
"Come on!", Lucas shouted out and at Nathan's confused face, pointed towards an old abandoned building.
"We can stay up there, on the roof."
The two climbed up the half-broken metal ladder hanging from the wall and proceeded upward. Lucas who was ahead of Nathan, grabbed onto the side of the building, crawling over only to raise his head in fear. A man resembling that of a Native Indian stood in front of him, gun poised at his face. From the condition of his clothes it looked as if he was a homeless person who apparently occupied this roof. Nathan looked over at Lucas' frozen figure in confusion when he finally lifted his gaze to meet what his brother was numbly staring at.
The Indian man pulled the trigger back, now aimed at Nathan and let it go, but nothing happened.
"Boo!", the bum yelled and then howled with laughter. Both Lucas and Nathan sighed with relief.
"I love doing that to people, come on."
Looking at each other, the brothers cautiously followed the old man over to his fire. Awhile later the three were settled around the orange flames, a bottle of wine in the Indian's hand.
"So who has a gun with no bullets?", Nathan probed as the old man took a swig of the wine.
"It doesn't matter if there are bullets. If they see a gun they will get scared and move out of your way." He took another swig and wiped his mouth.
"Can I have a drink?", Nathan asked and the man passed the bottle to Lucas who passed it to Nathan. He took a drink, his face crinkling slightly at the foul taste accompanied by the burning sensation and handed it back.
"We should sleep", the Indian said, standing up and pouring a bucket of water over the fire.
--
The next morning Lucas and Nathan awoke to find the old man gone.
"Where'd he go?"
"No idea", Lucas replied, scratching the back of his head. Nathan shrugged carelessly, surveying the area and shuffling through the camp.
"We should probably get going."
"And go where?"
"Remember that old cabin uncle Cooper has in the mountains?"
Lucas nodded.
"We can go there. They'll never find us."
The boys gathered up what they could find that would be of use and climbed back down the rusted ladder.
"Wait, how are we going to get there?"
Nathan glanced around and his gaze landed on a nineteen fifty-five mustang in the parking lot.
"I have an idea", he smirked. Lucas looked towards the car his brother's eyes were set on.
"Oh no", he said, shaking his head.
"Oh yes."
Nathan trotted over to the driver's side, lifting the handle to the door only to find it locked. He spotted a brick laying next to a far wall and picked it up, smashing the window. Luckily there was no alarm.
"Shouldn't of locked it", Nathan sung, opening the passenger's side for Lucas to get in and began cutting the wires below the steering wheel. He always was an expert at hot-wiring cars, after all that is what got them into Tree Hill Boot Camp in the first place.
"I'm the man", Nathan said as the rumbling of the engine started up and they sped out of the lot.
--
"So, how do you like my driving big bro'?"
Lucas rolled his eyes, a smile curving on his lips. His brother's ego and cockiness amused him to no end and though it did sometimes strike the wrong cord, he had to admit it made living life alot funnier.
"Pretty good, but uh I could do better", Lucas retorted causing each other to chuckle.
Two hours later a nasty noise sputtered from the engine and the car began to vibrate awkwardly. It came to a stop on the small trail road Nathan had turned on.
"Shit", he muttered, slamming his hands on the wheel.
"I knew it."
Lucas got out, slamming the door in the process and proceeded to walk down the road as Nathan caught up, both walking shoulder to shoulder. Obviously something was going to happen, things never went as planned for the Scotts.
"Now what are we going to do?"
"Walk I guess, I mean we're already in the mountains all we have to do is find the cabin", Nathan retorted.
Lucas shook his head at how easily his brother made it seem when in fact it was not. Nathan had always been the type who thought he was the master at everything. A rustling of trees from the right halted them in their tracks as the sound of crunching sticks floated from the mass of limbs.
"What do you think it is, man? A bear?", Nathan whispered and Lucas shrugged.
"Let's go check it out."
Nathan couldn't help but damn his brothers need to reveal the unknown. Why couldn't he just let things be?
"Uh, no that's okay, I think I'd rather keep my head."
"Fine ya wuss", Lucas called as he carefully approached the trees. He squeazed his way in between the trunks and seeing nothing, continued on further. He stopped at a stump and still not finding anything decided it must have been an animal.
"Ahhh, jeez!", he screamed, jumping back and falling on the stump. The brown-haired girl in front of him giggled uncontrollably.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Another girl with long dirty blonde hair appeared besides her.
"I'm so sorry, did my friend scare you? Brooke!"
Brooke wiped her eyes from laughter.
"Sorry tutorgirl, he was just right... there and it was just... the perfect oppurtunity."
Haley shook her head at her friend and stared down at the blonde boy. He was looking at them like they were nuts and she couldn't blame him, they kind of were.
"I'm really sorry about that, I'm Haley by the way, Haley James."
"And I'm the fabulous Brooke Davis", the brunette piped in, giving him an eerily sweet smile.
"Lucas Scott." Lucas stood up, wiping the back of his pants off.
"So Lucas, what are you doing down here?", Brooke asked, picking at her finger nails.
"Me and my brother's car broke down."
"You have a car!?", Brooke was astonished by this and Lucas was curious as to why.
"Uh, Brooke. It's broken down", Haley reminded and Brooke's face fell.
"Rats."
"What were you two doing down here? Why are you two here?", Lucas asked, making his through the never ending jumble of branches.
"Why Mr. Scott, are you implying a couple of gals like us can't possibly live out here in the wilderness?"
At the look he gave Brooke, she gave in.
"Well, you are absolutely right."
"What happened?"
"Long story", Haley spoke up, giving Lucas a small smile.
"Yeah, mine too", he said, returning it.
"Lucas where the hell have you been? I-", Nathan's words were cut short as soon as he seen who stepped out behind Lucas. There were two girls accompanying him, a tall slender brunette who looked mighty fine, but that's not who he was paying attention to. The most beautiful girl appeared right behind her and could feel his pants getting tighter. She had long wavy blonde hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a smile that was so radiant, he swore it could of lit up the sky if the sun wasn't shining. She was curvy in all the right places and her short stature only further edged him on.
Yep, he was in love. Or atleast in lust.
Okay so what do you guys think?? So far--and you'll know this if you've seen the movie-- this first chapter is similar to the movie except obviously it's One Tree Hill style, but from chapter two on I will be venturing into my own ideas. R&R! Thanks.
