When boys are young, they usually learn how to be a great man from their father. My father is not the kind of role model that I need or want. If I had stayed with him forever, or for much longer than I did, I would have turned out just like him. When I was 17, I decided to leave him forever and all for a girl, the girl. I, Nathan Scott, now vow to stay by my new wife, soul mate, and friend for life. You are the best thing for me and all I will ever need or want.
Back to when Nathan is 16 and attending tree hill high school.
Nathan is walking down the hallway before school. He is noticed by everyone. All of the guys want to be him while all the girls want to date him. In most schools basketball is not the most popular sport but tree hill is different. Nathan spots the girl he has been looking for and wraps his arms around her.
"Hey baby" Nathan says as he kissed his beautiful girlfriend.
"Hey" Brooke Davis says as she turns around and faces him.
"So," Nathan says, as he hugs her "What are you doing tonight?"
"You mean after cheerleading practice. Well, I would then be going out with my boyfriend and Lucas and Haley."
"What?" Nathan rebutted.
"We are hanging out with Lucas and Haley."
"I know I am tolerant and civil with Lucas now but that doesn't mean that I want to go out with him and his girlfriend."
"Well, Haley and I are good friends and I already said yes."
"Ok, fine. I gotta get to class anyways. See you later." Nathan talked as he walked away.
The real reason that he didn't want to go was that he thought Lucas liked Brooke, which really worried him.
Jake and Peyton walked into school together. They were late because the nanny was late, again.
"Oh god. We need a new nanny. This is Lucy's fourth time late this month." Peyton sighed clearly annoyed.
"You are just upset about leaving Jenny."
"No, maybe I am upset that I will never ever get my figure back. It has been 6 months and I am still fat."
"You look amazing and you know it." Jake said as a smile crept across his face.
All Peyton could do was smile. She still couldn't believe that her and Jake had a baby together. She loved him and was happier than ever. She loved her daughter and Jake and they were the perfect family that she had always wanted.
Lucas was walking home from school ready for the weekend. Today Haley had informed him that they were going out with Brooke and Nathan tonight. He wasn't sure how he felt about it
BEEP BEEP
"Hey Luke. Wanna ride?" Brooke yelled from her gorgeous car.
"Yeah, thanks." Lucas answered as he approached the car.
They drove silently until they reached Lucas' house.
"Do you want to come in and hang out or something?" Lucas asked, not moving from his seat.
"Yeah. Ok." Brooke says getting out of the car.
They reached Lucas' bedroom and he immediately pushed Brooke against the wall gently and kissed her with an urgency.
"I...have...wanted...to...do this...all day." Lucas says in between kisses.
"Me too."
"Why did you invite Haley and I out with you tonight. How am I going to keep my hands off you for a whole night?"
"I thought that maybe we could tell them tonight. I mean --"
"What?" Lucas interrupted and stepped back away from her.
"They need to know, this isn't fair to them, or us. I want to be able to kiss you in public."
"Ok. We will do it tonight. We can tell them. Together. Ok?"
"Yes, Luke, thank you. If we keep this going it will just hurt them even more."
"I know" Lucas said, solemnly.
"So, tonight?" Brooke asked.
"Tonight." Lucas confirmed
