This is my first One Tree Hill fic. Hope you guys will like it.

Chapter 1,

Haley James stepped out of the Café and pulled her blue jean jacket around her. Tonight was the coldest weather they had, had all year. The wind blew hard making Haley's brown hair dance across her face. She pulled the keys out of her jean pocket. The keys made a soft jingle as they touched lightly together. She was closing again, while everyone was at the ball game. Part of her would have loved to go and see Lucas play. But she knew that with going to the ball games she would have to put up with Lucas and Payton. They weren't exactly a couple, but Haley knew that Lucas cared for her. In a way that Lucas had never cared for her.

A sad feeling quickly entered her stomach. Nathan.. Why were guys so stupid? It made her dought ever telling Lucas how she truly felt. And most of all she didn't want to hurt their friendship. They had been friends for years. Haley didn't want to throw everything down the drain when Lucas and her were so close.

She leaned against the big window of the Café. Haley closed her eyes, maybe she would tell Lucas. What about Nathan? She couldn't just forget her feelings for him.. She was torn between the two Scott brothers. "A wonderful place to be." She said aloud. Spiting her words out one at a time. Her words disappeared into the cold night air and trailed out to the ears of Nathan Scott.

Nathan walked down the sidewalk watching the red light turn its three colors green, yellow, red. Green, yellow, red. It changed over and over again. He looked out into the street, there wasn't a car in sight. He walked faster in a hurry to talk to Haley. "Maybe just maybe she'll talk to me.. God I'm such a dumbass why did I just stand there.." Nathan said the words spilling out of his mouth as if her was giving a confessing. He turned a corner and saw Haley standing in front of the Café window. He slowed down he didn't want to look too anxious. He smiled when he heard her say, "A wonderful place to be." Thinking that she had seen him. But as he inched closer she never opened her eyes. He got closer until he could hear the sound of her breath..it slipped out of her mouth and made steam appear in front of her face. He wrapped his arm around her, suddenly she opened her eyes and quickly pushed him off.

"Nathan why aren't you at the ball game?" I said wondering why he was here instead of playing basketball.

"I had to see you Haley. I mean when I came here the other day, I tried to apologize. But you wouldn't even let me in."

"Why would I want to? Nathan I thought you were weren't as everyone had presumed. When I started tutoring you I thought there was no way that I would ever be able to teach a person like you. But you changed, maybe it was a show. But when you first made a B on that History test and I saw the smile on your face, I knew that you were different. Nathan you could have so much talent if you just tried. But then the party and Brook.."

"Haley, Brook was half drunk that night. For god sake she didn't even know what she was saying. But I didn't even know there was a letter. I didn't think that you.. that you liked me." Nathan said quickly.

"Is that what you think, that I like you Nathan?"

"I don't know I just thought."

Haley turned to Nathan a tear fell from her eye and landed on her jacket. Nathan moved closer to Haley pulling her into his arms again. This time she didn't pull away. Nathan wiped away the tears from her eyes, both looked one another in the eyes.

"Haley don't cry, you'll make me feel bad." Haley tried to say something, but Nathan silenced her with his finger on her lips. "It's my turn to talk."

He shifted his feet and reached for Haley's cold hands.

"Haley you don't have to be embarrassed. Because I feel the same way. What I am trying to say is, ever since I gave you that bracelet. I have had feelings for you. Feelings that I can't hide anymore."

Nathan moved down closer to Haley filling in the small gap that was keeping them apart. Her lips were cold and wet from the tears that she had cried. Haley placed her arms around Nathan's neck pulling him into her more. Deepening the kiss that they were so full with. Her bottom lips closed over hers and they stood there not wanting to ruin the moment.

Lucas watched as his brother and best friend practically made out on the sidewalk. It almost made him sick.. He turned around and walked away from the two, his blue eyes darker than usual.
