Hey guys, I've decided to take a chance and post another story. I've had this idea in my head for awhile and I'm really excited to finally write it out and see where it goes. Please R/R !

Introduction:

Nathan Scott, Lucas Scott and Haley James used to be the best of friends. The three were inseparable ever since the early days of kindergarten. As close as Haley was with Lucas, everybody could see the undeniable connection that she and Nathan shared. The two knew every detail about the other and would do anything to protect them. But what happens when high school popularity gets in the way of friendship? Social boundaries as well as the introduction of new characters begin to separate the pair. With a little help from Lucas, can they find their way back to the love they were once bounded by? Or is it too late?

PrologueWhat used to be...

Flashback

Haley knocked on the wooden door, swallowing hard when she heard his voice echo through from the other side.

"Come in"

She pushed the door open and stepped inside, not bothering to close it behind her.

Nathan was seated at his desk, his focus on the computer screen in front of him. She could see the tension sink into his shoulders when he realized it was her, and she sighed.

"What do you want?"

"I guess I deserved that" Haley sat on the edge of his bed, his back still facing her. An awkward silence settled through the room and after a few minutes Haley felt as if she would suffocate if something didn't break it.

"I'm sorry"

Nathan sighed frustrated and logged off the computer. He spun around in his chair, his eyes connecting with a nervous looking Haley. "I don't understand why you freaked out. You're the one always telling me to go after my dreams and not to let anything stand in the way. And the one time I do you bite my head off and tell me I'm not good enough" He paused, running a hand through his black hair anxiously. "I mean really, does that make any sense to you? I'm always there for you and the one time I need you to tell me I'm doing the right thing, this is how you act"

Haley sat still, her eyes downcast not being able to meet his. The guilt was starting to settle in overdrive, and the knots in her stomach were making it unbearable.

"Look Haley, I'm tired so if you're not going to say anything could you just leave so ..." Nathan started but was cut off by Haley.

"I'm sorry about what I said okay?!" She exclaimed, jumping up off the bed and pacing around the room. "I didn't mean any of it" Haley shook her head, and took a deep breath before stepping closer to Nathan. "I'm so proud of you. You're finally going to let everyone see how talented you are, and I couldn't be happier for you. I know you're going to be great."

Nathan smiled slightly at her words. "Then what's going on?"

"I'm scared" She admitted quietly. She was standing in front of him now, their knees touching as he was still seated in his desk chair. "I'm scared that basketball will bring you into this whole new world, and there won't be room for me in it"

"Hales..."

"Just let me say this, please?" She asked and Nathan nodded signaling for her to continue.

"You know how most of the guys on the team act, and I just don't want you to change into that. You mean everything to me Nate, and I'm just scared of losing you" Haley shook her head and laughed slightly. "God I'm like the most selfish person ever, huh?"

Nathan stood and reached his hand out, gently wiping away the tears that were making their way down her cheeks. "Haley you know how much I love basketball right?"

She nodded.

"Well it doesn't come anywhere close to how much I love you. Basketball is just a game, and me joining the team won't change that fact. I'm playing because I miss being on the same team as Lucas. When he started playing for the team, that didn't change your friendship with him. You guys are still as close as ever. And it will be the same for us. You will always be in my life Haley, no matter what, nothing will ever change that. You're my best friend, you'll always come first" Nathan finished with a smile and laughed when Haley threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tight.

"Promise it will always be me and you?"

"I promise" He whispered as he returned the hug and left a light kiss on her temple.

End of flashback

And he had kept his promise, for awhile at least.
