Disclaimer for all chapters: I do not own One Tree Hill. But I do own the plot. I do not own the music either.

Summary: Brooke and Haley are twin sisters and best friends. Brooke moves with her mom to Tree Hill. They stay best friends. One tragic night Haley dies. Brooke breaks down and friendships are tested at Tree Hill High because Brooke hasn't even told anyone one that she has a sister, let alone lost her.

Pairings: The story is mostly about friendships but pairings are Brucas and Peyton/Nathan. As much as I love Jeyton and Naley I can't include them because well Haley dies so she can't meet Nathan, and it's just easier without Jake.

Chapter 1

Hold on to me, love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was I love you
And I'm not afraid
Can you hear me
Can you feel me in your arms

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight

Haley and I aren't just twin sisters, we're best friends, and that's just how it's always been. We had a few close friends in out high school in Charlestown. Haley, Dana, Jess, Matt, Dave and I were inseparable.

We had another sister Taylor who was in college. We weren't close to her, she was never home. I don't even think she remembers that she has sisters. She's twenty and we're sixteen. She acts likes she's twenty-one and treats us like we're twelve. She gave us Barbies for Christmas last year. Barbies-what are we two? Anyway, who cares about Tay?

The worst day of our life was the day that our parents go a divorce. They had been fighting forever and we knew that it would happen sooner or late, but it was way sooner than we thought. As much as we fought to stay together, my dad gained custody of Haley and my mom of me. They stayed in Charlestown and we moved to Tree Hill. My mom and I get along pretty well, but I need Haley.

We bought a large white house, or should I say mansion. Any teen would think of it as a dream home, but for me it was too big. My moms company helped, but I was lonely without my sister. I went from sharing a small room, to having a large room to myself.

We called each other frequently and once we had our driver's licenses we went to see each other more often. It was still hard.

I made a few good friends in Tree Hill.

Peyton Sawyer was the best friend a girl could ask for. She was tall and skinny with curly blonde hair. She was the nicest person ever, but would stand up for anyone if someone was talking about them. She was with me on the cheerleading squad.

Nathan Scott is Peyton's boyfriend. He is one of the two stars of the basketball team. Although he's not the nicest person we still love him.

Then there's my boyfriend Lucas. He's Nathan's brother and the other star of the Ravens. He's such a sweet guy and always there… plus the fact that he's super hot.

I didn't tell any of them about Haley, I don't know why, I just never did. She was my secret friend and I liked it.

It's junior year now and I'm cheerleading captain and Haley and I are close as ever

I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight

Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there

"So Brooke, movies tonight?" Lucas asked as he waited for me at my locker.

"Can't." I said closing the door and walking with Lucas to his car.

"And why not?"

"I have plans."

"With Peyton?" I shook my head. "Nathan?" I repeated my gesture. "Then who?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Then why won't you tell me?" He asked, stopping at a red light. "Are you cheating on me?"

"No" I laughed. "Just some friends from my old school."

"Okay, that's all I wanted to know."

We arrived at my house in silence. "Thanks for the ride Broody." I kissed him and headed to my house.

"Hey honey how was school?"

"Good mom."

"So do you want to go out to dinner later?"

"Can't, I'm meeting Haley remember."

"Oh yeah, have fun." I walked into my room and changed. I had to meet Haley in two and a half hours. I was finally satisfied in a black mini skirt and a white tank. I threw on some make-up and grabbed a purse as I dashed out to my silver beetle. I met no traffic going there and was at my old house in no time.

"Hi everyone." I said letting myself in the house. I gave my dad a hug before heading up to Haley's room.

She was sitting on her bed stuck in a book. "God, I swear you and Lucas are too alike sometimes." We laughed and I jumped on her kind size bed that we used to share to give her a hug. "Hey sis."

"Hi Brooke, I missed you."

"I missed you too. Ready to go?" I asked getting off her.

"Yeah. We're meeting the gang at Charlestown Diner."

"Great! Let's go!" I drove the car and we just talked about what was happening.

I parked and we exited the car, finding Jess with his arm around Dana and Matt standing next to Dave playing a small video game that they had there.

"HI GUYS!" I said and they all joined me in a group hug.

"How many?" The hostess asked.

"Six." Jess answered. We were seated and had ordered before we started talking.

"So you two are together?" I asked Jess and Dana raising an eyebrow. They nodded. "What happened to Steph and Lana, I liked them?"

"We broke up with them." Matt replied talking for both himself and Dave.

"What about you and Lucas?" Haley asked in a teasing way with a large smile.

"Still great as ever." I smiled and winked. They giggled as I sipped my diet coke.

"We have to meet him." Dana slurred playing absent mindedly with her straw as she spoke.

I laughed and they joined in. I looked out the window and squinted to get a look at the car that had just parked. I watched my friend and boyfriend exit and walking the diner.

"Here's your chance. For some strange reason they're here." Everyone turned around to look. "I'll make them come over. But if they ask, Hales over here is just my bestest friend, they don't know she's my sister, as I've said before." I smiled as I hugged her and kissed her head.

"Yo! Broody! Boy Toy! P Sawyer!" I called. They looked over and I waved. They walked over.

"Hey Brooke." Peyton and Nathan said.

"Hey Cheery." Lucas came over and kissed me.

"So he's Lucas?" Haley slipped. "He's hot." There was a chorus of laughter.

"Guys this is Lucas, Peyton and Nathan. And this is Dana, Jess, Dave, Matt and Haley."

A new chorus of hellos were heard and then the trio returned to their table.

"Brooke he's hot." Haley repeated.

"Lucas, yea I know." I said obviously.

"Well I meant Nathan, but Lucas too."

The rest of the night was great. All of them happy to have finally met my friends. I would have never guessed that that would be the last time I ever saw Haley alive.

Next Morning

I woke up knowing that I'd have to answer questions from my friends about last night, but I didn't care, it would be nice being able to talk about Haley.

As I discovered at lunch, I was correct. I didn't have a chance to answer their questions 'cause my cell phone had just wrong. Scanning the caller ID I saw it was Dana.

"Hey Dana. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" I panicked.

"It's Haley." I froze. "She's been in a car accident. We've been trying to reach you all day. She didn't make it." The phone dropped from my hands.

I started to take off, but then realizing Lucas drove me to school and I needed his car keys I went back to them.

"Lucas, can I borrow your keys?"

"Yeah sure, here, is everything okay Brooke?" But I had already left for the hospital. She wasn't dead; I repeated to myself over and over, she wasn't.

Once I was there my dad showed me to her room, she was already dead, paler then possible, and she looked all smashed up. My mind racing with a million thoughts, but I knew I would wake up any second. This couldn't happen in real life. She's only sixteen, and she's my Haley.

Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me, calling me
As you fade to black

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured lightIt ends here tonight

So what do you think? Should I continue or did it suck?

This song was called My Last Breath.
