Caught In Between- chapter one
Nathan Scott was your typical 25 year old. He lived a simple life. Once his dreams fell short, he wound up working for a sports agency. To say the least, he has done well for himself. Love and Nathan Scott didn't mix, but one girl managed to steal his heart 7 years ago. It was just one of his one night stands, but this girl was different. She managed to capture his heart, and never gave it back. The sad thing was, he didn't even know her name. They met at a party, hooked up, and walked out of each others life. He was currently dating Peyton Sawyer, did he love her? No, and he never thought he would. He only date her for sex and publicity. Peyton was a young artist, destine for fame. He couldn't lie, he loved spending time with her, but love wasn't in the picture. It never would be.
Nathan walked into his condo in Chicago, and heard a beep echo in the quiet apartment. He walked over to his answering machine, and noticed he had two new messages. He pressed play, and listened as he set his things down and loosened his tie.
"1st new message, sent today at 3:30 P.M." beep "Hey Nate, Its Luke. I know you are probably at work, but I just wanted to remind you that my flight is coming in at 7. You better not be late little brother." Beep.
Nathan scoffed at his brothers message. He never did trust him. He looked over at the clock and noticed that it was only 5,he still had two hours.
"Next new message, sent today at 4:56 P.M." beep. "Babe , Its me, Peyton. I thought you would be off of work by now. I wanted to make sure we still had plans for tonight. You better have not forgotten. Call me later." beep.
That right there was why he could never love Peyton. She didn't trust him. She was always asking where he was, and why he didn't call. Sure, he had a playboy reputation before he started dating her, but he wasn't a cheater. If he was in love or not, he would never cheat. He constantly reminded her of that, but she didn't want to believe him.
He took his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed her number.
"Hello!"
"Hey!"
"Were you still at work?"
"Yes, the meeting with my client ran a little later than I expected. And I was calling to let you know we are still on for tonight, I didn't forget."
"Okay. What time are you going to pick me up?"
"Well Luke's flight comes in at 7. So I'll swing by and get him, and then we will come get you."
"Alright. I'll see you later then."
"Bye babe." Nathan hung up his phone and headed to take a shower before he went to pick up his brother.
It was six o clock when Nathan left his condo to pick Lucas up. He turned the radio on. The song that was playing, he normally wouldn't listen to, but it calmed him. So he left it on
I don't know what I want I'm alone, on my own and that's all I know Got the radio on, my old blue jeans I'm alone, on my own, that's all I know Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission, I'm alone, on my own and that's all I know Oh, I'm alone, on my own and that's all I know Oooh, I'm just a girl, oh, I'm just a girl, ah um
So don't ask me 'cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road
I'm just walking, trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one who feels the way I do
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve,
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Can you tell me what more do I need?
And tomorrow's just a mystery
Oh, yeah, but that's okay.
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world
But I'm ready to fly!
Oh, I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on.
Oh, I'm just a girl trying to find a place in this world.
Oh, I'm just a girl
"That was an old song by Haley James. Her new album due to release next week." The radio boomed through the car.
"Haley James." Nathan said out loud. "I'm gonna have to buy her C.D." When he was listening to the song. He felt like he could relate to her, and not to mention she had an amazing voice.It almost sounded familiar to him.
A few minutes later Nathan had arrived at the air port. He parked the car, and went inside to find his brother terminal. Once he got where he was suppose to be, he looked down to his watch and saw that he still had 20 minutes. He looked around for something to do, and spotted a book store. He walked in and found what he was looking for. He purchased his item and went to sit on a bench and wait for Lucas plane to land.
"Nathan!" Nathan turned to see his older brother standing behind him with a wide smile.
"Luke! How yah doing big brother." He stood up, and went to give his brother a man hug.
"I'm ready to get some rest. That was a long flight from California." Lucas sighed.
"Well you won't be able to get to much rest. We are going out with my girlfriend tonight." Nathan informed him.
"girlfriend?" Lucas asked surprised.
"Yeah I'm trying to settle down, how bout you. You have anyone?"
"That was actually why I'm here." Lucas said excitedly "I got engaged."
"What? No way. Congratulation man." Nathan gave his brother another hug.
"She's great man. She is coming in tomorrow. You will get to meet her."
"Can't wait to see what girl landed you." Nathan laughed "Now lets get out of here." The two brother walked out to the car. When Nathan got in he pulled out the C.D. he had bought earlier in the book store. He looked down at the cover that had a broken heart 'man, me and this girl are a perfect fit.' Nathan thought to himself. He put the C.D. in, and Haley James voice blasted through the speakers. He put the car in gear and started driving back to his condo. He bobbed his head to the music, and glanced over a Luke who was laughing at him.
"Shut up man, her voice is amazing. So tell me about this fiancé of yours."
"I think you're gonna like her. We will find out sure enough tomorrow." Lucas smirked.
"Nate where are you taking me?" Lucas asked. Him and Nathan had stopped by Nathan's condo to drop his stuff off, and now they were on there way to get Peyton.
"We have to pick Peyton up. I told you this already." Nathan answered. "We're here now." The two brothers got out of the car, and walked up to Peyton's apartment. "Now Peyton is a cool girl, you shouldn't have a problem with her." Nathan informed his brother after he knocked on the door.
A few seconds later they heard foot steps by the door, and heard it being unlocked. Peyton opened the door, and looked at the two men in front of her.
" Peyton this is-" Nathan started.
"Lucas Scott. How the hell have you been?" Peyton rushed out of her apartment and pulled Lucas into a hug. "Its been to long."
"So you're my brothers girlfriend." Lucas smiled down at her after they broke their hug. "I didn't think I would see you again."
Nathan watched the exchange between his girlfriend and brother. He was clearly confused. How could they know each other? He met Peyton last year, and she had told him that she had been living in Chicago her whole life.
"Wait you two know each other?" Both were snapped out of their conversation and looked over at a confused Nathan.
"Yes, I can't believe this is you brother. We meet when he was in Chicago for his book tour. We spent the whole night together. I guess I just never put the two together."
"Peyton here had the guts to come in and tell me that she hated my book. She sat their and criticized me about it for hours. So I gave her my number so we could talk about it when I was done signing books. Like she said we spent the whole night together talking. She's an amazing girl Nate." Lucas said as he looked over at Peyton, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Do you wanna get a drink." Peyton asked Luke.
"Sure." the two of them started walking toward her apartments elevator, completely forgetting the other person they were with.
Nathan still in shock, followed behind them to the elevator. He watched as Peyton laughed at something Lucas had just said to her.
"It's going to be a long night." Nathan sighed
