And the Stars Align
Title: And the Stars Align
Author: Cherie Dennis.
Summary: Roommates Haley James and Brooke Davis are both natural-born New Yorkers. They had never heard of Tree Hill, North Carolina until Brooke started dating up and coming author Lucas Scott. With Scott's newest book, Forged Memories, being launched, lives are going to take an interesting turn.
Haley, who just got out of a horrible relationship with an even worse guy, finds herself falling for Lucas's brother, Nathan. But her guarded heart, and Chris Keller (Lucas's publisher) being hot on her tail doesn't make things easy.
Will Haley be able to take down her walls and let Nathan in? Or will he return to North Carolina, never to be heard from again?
Rating: I'm going to go with T, but it may change.
Pairings: It will be focused on a Baley friendship, a Naley (and Brucas) romance, perhaps with some other friendships and romances thrown in for good measure.
Disclaimer: I don't own OTH.

Prologue:
I had always been a loner. In high school, I rarely dated, and the only friend I ever truly had was Brooke. I was the loser, the Tutor Girl who always had some kind of book in front of her. Why Brooke, head of the cheerleading squad, actually hung out with me was a mystery in and of it. But we met freshman year and were glued at the hip.
We ended up moving in together, in the apartment complex where we currently live. That's where I first met Jason. He seemed like the perfect guy, like they usually do, so I always forgave him when he screwed up.
Our relationship was deep and intense, and there are days where I find myself wishing I was still with him. But what he did to me is unforgivable. From the day I broke up with him, I swore I'd never let another guy in. Why give your heart away when it always ends badly?
Then, all of a sudden, Nathan shows up in my life. He has me constantly second-guessing myself and my choices. With my head and my heart saying two completely different things, how am I supposed to figure out what's best for me?
That's probably one of the worst prologues in the history of writing, but hopefully you guys understand what the story's going to be about. If not, you'll just have to read and see! And please, please, please give me feedback! Anything at all! From saying "Good job!" to telling me what I should improve on. Anything! And, like my other stories, it's going to be third-person, not first.
