Hey everybody. Im a newcomer…well kinda. I had a story a while ago but I deleted it cuz I don't like it any more. I just hope you guys will read this and enjoy it! Btw, this is definitely going to be a naley!!! My favoritest couple ever….lol. but there is a chance of other couples…hmm might freak out and have some fun with that like put jake with Rachel or something but that's just a wild idea. Alright back to this… Ive picked up a lot from reading fanfics so here is some bkg info:

- Nathan Scott, Haley James, Peyton Sawyer, Brooke Davis, Lucas Roe and Jake Roe are best friends since birth. In the beginning of the story, they are all 7 years old. That's subject to change cuz they'll grow up throughout the story.

Nathan Scott: parents are Dan and Deb Scott (same messed up family like on the show hehe)

Haley James: parents are Jimmy and Lydia James (same cool wacky parents like on the show )

Peyton Sawyer: parents are Larry and Anne Sawyer. Mother died at birth. (no Ellie in the story..srry)

Brooke Davis: parents are Joe and Suzanne Davis (same like on the show….basically never appear in my fanfic)

Lucas and Jake Roe: parents are Keith and Karen Roe (keith and dan have no relation….families are completely separate)

- All the families are very rich except for Haley's, Lucas and Jake's, and Peyton's. they aren't poor but just not as wealthy as the Scotts or Davis'

- Siblings and stuff like that will be stated later! Alright im done rambling…

Read on and I hope you enjoy it!

"Nathan Scott! Come over here right now!"

'sheesh, who knew a girl could be so bossy' Nathan thought as he made his way towards his best friend.

"Alright, so I decided that I'm going to get up this rusty old thing we call a jungle gym once and for all today!" little Haley James states

"that's great hales but why am I here? Ive already gone up and down that thing like a million times!"

hearing this, haley got a little aggravated, "well mister! Since you're my best friend, ive enlisted your help! Arent you happy?

Nathan rolled his eyes but decided to agree so haley wouldn't get any more rage into her system.

"OKAY. You ready hales?" he wanted to make sure haley was up to doing this

"I was born ready! Come on give me a lift!" yells haley

"okay if you insist." Nathan lifts haley's little form and….

"AHHHH!! Nathan! Why did you lift me?" Nathan was surprised

"well you said you were ready….that kind of meant to me that you were ready to start"

"I said I was ready but you know you have to ask me if I was ready over and over again until I really am!" okay so Nathan scott was beyond confused.

"alright lets start this again, shall we? HALEY JAMES, are you really really ready?" Nathan questions

"…..yes" haley whispers

"you positive! Im going to lift you now, tell me if you want me to stop."

"okay okay." Haley whispers again

Nathan lifts haley so she can put her legs on the bars in front of her and she reaches out and grabs a hold of the jungle gym's metal bars. Gently and slowly, she takes a few steps up afraid of losing her balance..

"come on haley! I know you can do it. Im right here, nothing is going to happen"

"im going as fast as I can here!" Nathan smiled at this comment. He was just trying to encourage her but no, haley james did not accept pity. She was a very independent 7 year old!

"Nathan Nathan! I feel like im slipping. What if I fall and die!? Do you want my toys?" whoa, it sounded like haley was figuring out her little seven year old will.

"Haley, can you please relax. I promise you are not going to fall and if you do, im right here!"

"you're confusing me Nathan, once second you say I wont fall but then you say youll catch me?! Is that implying that I will fall."

'oh gosh, you just had to bring that up, didn't you Nathan?' he thought to himself

trying to get that thought out of her mind, Nathan just urged her to keep going.

All of a sudden, it seems that haley's little butter fingers slipped and she was tipping backwards.

"ahhhhh, Nathan im falling!!" gasped haley

Nathan didn't wait a single second. he quickly climbed up and supported haley's back so she wouldn't fall. He gave her a little push so that she could reach the bars again. As soon as she could, she grabbed them and held on for her life.

"talk about life and death. Now I know what people are talking about when they talk about seeing your life flash before your eyes" haley informed

"yeah, im sure you just had that same kind of experience….." smiled Nathan.

Finally after several minutes of coaxing and reassuring, haley james reached the top of the scary jungle gym.

Now that she reached the top, she didn't seem to want to get down.

"hales, its getting dark out and your parents are probably getting worried." Nathan said

"that's true and im sure your parents are worried too so lets go"

"yeah im not so sure about that" mumbled Nathan but haley heard

"hey nate, your parents love you. You have to know that. Its just that different people have different ways of showing love. But I know for a fact, they do"

'how does a seven year old mind hold that much wisdom?' Thought Nathan. But he was sure glad he had a best friend like haley.

They climbed down the jungle gym and headed home. Nathan and haley always loved to hang out together, just the two of them. But they also missed their friends, Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, and Jake.

Since it was summer, Lucas and Jake were off on vacation visiting their grandparents. Brooke and her family went to the Caribbean for a cruise and Peyton's dad asked her to go boating with him for a week. They would all return in the next couple of days and Haley was excited!

After a long day's…..play, haley and Nathan departed ways but not before doing their little ritual. They always had a little different way of doing it each time but it was all the same.

"hey nate, if I actually fell you would have caught me right?" haley asked

"well probably but you would have crushed me so we'd both end up on the ground" Nathan laughed

"haha your so not funny. Now I know what kind of a best friend I have!" haley stated

"awww" Nathan walked closer to haley "you know im always here for you hales."

"always?" haley pursued asking

"always….but what about you haley. Will you be there for me?" Nathan reassured her.

"im gonna be there for you FOREVER Nathan scott. That's a promise." Haley smiled her wide beautiful smile.

"always nathan scott……"haley whispered

"and forever haley james" Nathan whispered back.

after giving Nathan a final hug, haley climbed up her porch steps and opened her door.

Nathan smiled from where he was standing and went to his house which happened to be right next to haley's and was ready to go in.

Haley waved bye and Nathan returned the gesture. They both went in their respective houses with a smile knowing that each would have the other always and forever.

review!!!!…I want to know what you guys think
