Never Forgotten
First of all, I would like to say that this is my first story. I'd like it known that I do not own One Tree Hill nor do I own the characters. I might make references to moments that actually happened on the show, but everything else is my own work. It is a Naley story, because they are my favorite characters/couple on One Tree Hill. I would also like to say that I love every other character as well. And I'm saying that because you might hate certain characters at certain moments. I just want it known that there isn't a character I don't like on the show! Here is a list of the characters in my story: Haley, Nathan, Rachel, Clay, Mouth, Lucas, Lindsey, Jake, Peyton, Millie, Brooke, Julian, Skills, Bevin, Alex, and Quinn. Also here are the couples in my story: Nathan/Haley, Owen/Rachel, Jake/Peyton, Mouth/Millie, Lucas/Lindsey, Skills/Bevin, and some others not known yet. Also, I'm sorry if you don't care for certain pairings. This is a Nathan/Haley story. The other couples will be mentioned and have little moments, but the main focus will be on Naley.
Okay, so this story sets five years after graduation. Everything up until Haley leaving to go on tour happened but with a few differences...
Rachel actually arrived during their junior year. She was the same as she was during their senior year-she hit on Lucas, but this time, Lucas and Brooke were actually together. She also did the same with Nathan and Haley. None of the Brooke/Lucas/Peyton drama took place. None of the Nikki/Jenny stuff happened. Jake still has Jenny, never left Tree Hill, and is dating Peyton. As far as Haley and the tour goes...she did leave but during the middle of their senior year. After a couple of weeks, she decided to come back home. Even though she loved it and loved her music, she realized it wasn't what she wanted with her life. She missed her friends and family and Nathan way too much. She packed her bags and headed back home. But when she arrived, what she saw changed her life completely. She left a second time without anyone knowing and never came back.
Five years later: Lucas and Lindsey are still dating. He published his first novel and is working on his second. Jake and Peyton married shortly after high school. Peyton adopted Jenny. Jake and Peyton opened Red Bedroom Records together. Brooke, of course, still owns and runs Clothes Over Bros. She's very successfull but still single. She's having fun, but not the "Brooke" kind of fun she had in high school. Nathan did go to Duke on scholarship. A lot of NBA scouts wanted him, but he realized playing in the NBA wasn't what he wanted afterall. He took over his dad's car dealership and opened three more in cities surrounding Tree Hill. He coaches for the Ravens with Lucas and Skills. They all still live in Tree Hill never wanting to leave home. And they all still remain close friends. However, Rachel and Mouth moved after graduation without even a goodbye to the rest of them.
Now, Rachel is getting married to Owen and moving back to Tree Hill. But what happens when this wedding not only brings Rachel home, but the arrival of some other people as well.
Okay, so this is the need to know basics right now. I look forward to writing this story. I also look forward to reading any and all reviews-good and/or bad. Anyway, I'm going to post the first chapter to Never Forgotten some time tomorrow night. Thanks and hopefully you'll enjoy!
