SUMMARY ;; This a story of five friends that live in Tree Hill, North Carolina, but seem to have this close bond and connection with each other. One's a guy with a big dream. Another is a guy with everything that anyone could ever want. One is a girl who seems to have the perfect life. Another is a girl who needs that one person in her life with her. Another is a girl confused on who she is and who she wants to become. But no matter how different they all seem, something seems to connect all of them into a big group of different, but close friends. Its junior year and everything and everyone is starting to heat up. Love, greed, envy and scandal. This is the life. But what happens when a couple marries, a major love triangle evolves? And its not who you think. Couples: BL, NH, PN ;; Possible Couples: HC, PJ, LR? You'll never know.

I won't always live in my regrets. The lyric that Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer lives by and always will. The emotion in her life seems so real at this moment, but yet so uneccessary at the same time. There's always that little voice inside her head telling her that this all doesn't matter, because it wouldn't make her less of a person then she already was. She was Peyton, a cheerleader, an artist, and a true music lover. Yet she didn't have everything she had ever wanted out of life. There was always something missing in Peyton's life. She could never put her finger on it either. Her best friend, Haley Leanne James was living with her in her big house, while her dad was away. Once again. Its not like Peyton didn't mind it, it seemed like all of her friends had zero parental vision. Haley and Brooke's parents were gone, so Peyton knew she wasn't alone.

"Peyton!" Haley called out from downstairs. Tonight was just another high school party. They all seemed to blend together in Peyton's mind. She liked to party, but not every single night. But Haley loved every moment of high school and partying, so no wonder they were going to the party.

"Haley James," Peyton said as she walked down her staircase. She was ready to go to the party, but didn't know what it would hold for her. Peyton was never sure of what kind of drama or hook-ups would happen.

"Ya ready?" Haley asked, smiling. She was always dressed to kill, she was wearing pink and white dress from Betsey Johnson and some vintage while stelletos. As for Peyton, she was keeping it casual. She was only wearing a simple Rolling Stones top and some jeans. She made it work, though.

"Sure, if ready means feeling like shit and watching our student body wasting time at another party," Peyton told Haley, honestly.

"Peyton, don't be like that, its not all a waste," she said to her best friend. Suprisingly, Haley was at the top of her class, but she always found a way to have fun in life, she was never moody.

"Whatever, lets go," Peyton said, as both girls walked out of the front door.

The Scott brothers. Everyone knew who they both were. Lucas was the smart, broody, but taken one. While Nathan, was the irrestiable, outgoing and totally single one. But they got along perfectly, like brothers would. One reason was because of both of their undying loves for basketball and the ladies, of course. Even though, ones life was completely different than the others. Brooke Davis was the girl for Lucas, and that had really changed him for the better. As for Nathan, there were two girls in his life. Peyton Sawyer, his on-and-off girlfriend-slash-fling, and Haley James, who he liked hooking-up with, all at once. Either way if he was with one or the other, it would have to be at his place or a party. Seeing as both of them were best friends and roommates. But in his mind, Nathan knew that he would have to choose between one of the two.

"So tell me Nate, which girl is it tonight?" Lucas Scott asked his younger brother. Lucas had always enjoyed teasing Nathan about how much he was infuated with both Peyton and Haley. And his love life, too.

"And why do you care and want to know?" Nathan fired back. He knew that Lucas was teasing, but Nathan easily got annoyed by it. It wasn't like Lucas was really concerned about his love life. Sure, Nathan was just jealous of his brother's perfect relationship, but never asked him about that at all.

"You know why I'm interested Nate. And I think you know who you want to be with and I know to, but you'll never admit it to her," he commented. Lucas always had a certain outlook on things. Love, friends, enemies, whatever. Lucas always had some sort of smart answer to it. But his own brother's love life was hectic and confusing.

"What do you mean Luke? And who do you think?" he asked, as he finished looking at his reflection on the bathroom mirror.

"Nathan, its pretty obvious to me. But my advice for you is to tell her you love her tonight," Lucas said, turning the tables on his brother. Lucas sincerely wanted his brother to be happy, just like he was.

"Okay Dr. Phil. I might take your advice, for once," he said, smirking. Nathan wanted to be with this girl, but knew that he would be hurting another girl in another way. "So we going to this party or not?" Nathan commented as he walked towards the door.

"Of course, its my girlfriend's party, and she knows we'll be there," Lucas said as both brothers walked out of the door.

The Davis Mansion was the biggest mansion in Tree Hill. It was almost the biggest mansion in North Carolina, hell. But something was different about this massive house. It was home of Brooke Davis, the all-american cheerleader queen bee of Tree Hill High. Brooke truly had the perfect life, the perfect parties, the perfect friends and the perfect boyfriend in Lucas Scott. And that's all Brooke knew. Perfection, even though people were always jealous of her and her money, she didn't mind it.

"Hey, come on in!" Brooke Davis said with a smile, as she let her friends, Bevin Mirskey and Rachel Gattina into her mansion. The party was just getting started with forty of her fellow classmates and friends in her house already. But Brooke was only focused on one person, her boyfriend, Lucas Scott. And tonight was the night for them, and Brooke was more than ready.

As the Scott brothers walked up to the mansion, Brooke smiled more than ever. "Hey brody," she said, as she walked up to her boyfriend, as she gave him a quick peck on the lips. It had been seven months of perfection for them, and Brooke had never been so happy.

"Luke, Broke, keep the PDA to a minium," Nathan commented as he walked into the Davis Mansion.

"So, how's the party going?" Lucas asked Brooke, he smiled as he looked into her dreamy hazel eyes.

"Better now," Brooke said, as she gave him a few kisses on the neck. She could just live in this moment forever with him, she loved him so much right now, it was incredible. She pulled on his hands and said, "You ready?"

"For tonight? Of course, especially since I'll be with you. Are you sure about this though?" Lucas asked. He was cautious and didn't want to force the girl he was in love with to do something she didn't want to do, especially since this was her own party.

"I'm sure," Brooke said, nodding, she pulled on Lucas's hand and nodded towards the bedroom. Tonight was going to be perfect for Brucas, Brooke thought.

Alochol. Drama. Hook-ups. Peyton Sawyer and Haley James were already doing shots, and it was only eight at night and a minute into Brooke's party. If anything was going to go down tonight, it was going to be here right now. Little did both girls know that the guy that they wanted to be with, was the same guy. Nathan Scott. As Haley downed her fifth shot, already, Peyton smiled. Maybe if she was going to have sex with Nathan, she shouldn't be completely wasted by now. Peyton saw her eyes shift to the front door where Nathan had just entered. She wanted it now, more than ever.

"Hales, I'll be right back," Peyton told her best friend, smirking.

"Alrighty, we'll do shots every hour, k?" Haley smiled as she downed another shot as she went to go talk to Bevin and Rachel. She loved to socialize and Bevin and Rachel were practically her followers.

Peyton walked slowly towards Nathan. He looked amazing tonight, she thought. But there was never a moment that he didn't look good. She smiled as Nathan realized he was in her presence. Peyton always seemed to instantly become very promiscous when she was around Nathan, no wonder she was turned on. "Hey you," she said, smiling once again at him.

"Hey Peyton," Nathan said, trying to make eye contact with her, but it was hard, because he was looking for the other girl. The girl he really loved, but didn't see her anywhere. Get your game on, he thought.

"You wanna go somewhere quiet and talk?" she asked. Of course, talking meant to her sex with Nathan, like that was a suprise. Peyton tugged his hand, pulling him away from the massive crowd in the house.

"I love you Brooke," Lucas admitted, they were seriously making-out, and about to have sex for the first time. He was so excited, but was nervous that Brooke might see him as the guy that just wants sex from her and only sex. Not a relationship.

Brooke paused. She did love Lucas, but the thought of love suddenly scared her. Brooke had been pushing herself so hard to get up to this point, but it just didn't feel right. At least for now. Brooke pulled away from him and walked out of her bedroom.

"BROOKE!" Lucas called out, what had just happened? Lucas hadn't been pushing her at all to have sex with him, but she had just walked out. Lucas had told Brooke that he had loved her a few times before, and she had always responsed with 'I love you, too.' But what was wrong? Sex? Or did she not love him anymore?

Peyton was still pulling Nathan into 'talking' again. But Nathan didn't want that at least from her. He was still scanning the crowd trying to find the girl who he really loved. He suddenly walked away from Peyton, as he found her.

"NATHAN! Wait up," Peyton called out. She was seriously drunk at this point and didn't know what was going on at all. She felt very dizzy and tipsy. It felt like the whole house was moving, too.

Nathan grabbed Haley and kissed her like never before. With more passion, and he really meant it. Everyone was watching them by now, but Nathan didn't care, he wanted to be with Haley James, the girl that he was in love with, but wasn't with.

At this point, Haley was in true shock, out of the blue, Nathan had just grabbed her and kissed her. But it wasn't just one simple kiss, it was the kiss, the perfect kiss, the one she had always dreamed about. She had thought that the whole hooking-up thing stayed between them, but he had just made-out with her in front of the whole student body, and a few other people. She pulled away, something just didn't seem to settle with her. Sure, she had already had a few drinks, but Nathan didn't even have a single one yet. "Nathan, what was that?" she asked him.

"Haley, I need to tell you something," he admitted, seriously. As he looked into her eyes, god, he loved her so much, and wanted this moment to be perfect.

Suddenly, as loud gasped invaded the crowd. Peyton Sawyer, had collasped right on the hardwood floor, right in front of everyone. He eyes were closed, as she looked flushed already. Haley pulled away from Nathan and ran towards her troubled friend. "Someone call an ambulance!" she called out, as Vegas picked up the phone and dialed 911.

"Peyton? Can you hear me?" she whisphered into her eyes. Peyton's eyes slowly opened, and she almost looked dead or at least very sick in Haley's mind.

"Haley, tell Nathan I love him," Peyton whisphered as she closed her eyes, and looked more flushed than ever. Haley was suprised about all of this whole night, but was just focused on helping out her best friend.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? I absolutely already love this story, so please, please review! You can post who you want to be together, and whatever comments. Next chapter: What will happen with Brucas? Will Haley betray Peyton, and be with Nathan? Will Peyton die? All of these questions will be answered next time on "What Do You Want Us To Be?" Also, if you want a Jeyton, Caley or Lachel, tell me, and I'll probably consider it.
