3 Hearts

Chapter 1
The sun rose slowly over the small town of Tree Hill North Carolina.
Everyone was just waking up getting ready to face what this new day had to offer. Couples in love. Families with growing kids and moody, testing the limit teenagers. Or maybe it was simply just you. Trying to figure out what your next step would be.
For the Scott Brothers, their days weren't started until they finished their game at the River court. It was less about winning or losing and more about how they bonded with each other and cleared their minds. In the Scott family, there was always something buried beneath the surface. A secret that had yet to be revealed. Or a lie that shook the very foundation of what it was built on.
Especially when it involved the women in their lives. None of it simple or easy if anything any real attachment made the reality of their situation that much clearer and was when they realized the truth. Which was the strongest relationship.

Which is exactly why he isn't a part of it. Neither Scott brother has seen or spoken to Dan in a handful of years now. And that is one of the few good decisions they've made in their lives in recent years.
When it comes to their careers they were complete success stories. Nathan sought after by countless teams and Lucas's books made it number one on every list. Money not an issue they lived an extremely comfortable lifestyle and for being in their early twenties life was being lived the way they had always envisioned.
Having access to any celebrity party they wanted. Having the influence and power that they worked years to achieve. Vacationing in any part of the world they choose. So, their reality couldn't be any better.
No commitments. No limits. They savored every second. The walls in their home littered with photos and cases in their living room full of souvenirs. They had their unbreakable relationships with their other mothers. The unconditional loyalty and support of each other. A long life to look forward too. Love wasn't something they craved or needed.
