I'm back! With a sequel!! Finally :) it took me long enough :p I've got another idea! This follows a couple of years after the school shooting. 4 years, six months and two days, to be exact ;) But I don't know whether or not you'll like it, so give it a shot :) Btw if you haven't read 'When You Think You Know Someone', it's ok, cuz all you really need to know in order to understand this story is the fact that Peyton Sawyer is dead and Jake Jagielski is the bad guy. Love And Kisses.

When a stranger rings the doorbell

Nathan was standing at the door, glancing at his watch for the 100th time.

"Hales!" he yelled. "We're going to be late!"

"Just five more minutes!" she yelled from upstairs.

Nathan sighed and walked into the living room, where he saw little Jamie watching a DVD and sucking his thumb, while holding his favourite teddy bear. He smiled at the sight of his son and leaned against the wall.

Sometimes, when he watched Jamie, his chest hurt. He loved him so much it physically hurt. After Haley had given birth to their son, he had been overcome with this feeling he hadn't been able to get rid off ever since. This unbelievable love for his child. He would have never believed anyone was able to love someone as much as he loved Jamie. He would always be there to protect him and he would never let anyone hurt him.

"I'm ready!" Haley yelled, interrupting his thoughts.

Nathan turned around and watched his wife as she graciously walked down the stairs.

"You look... " Nathan stuttered. "Wow!"

Haley laughed and quickly kissed him.

"That's the reaction I was hoping for." She smiled. "But we have to go, now! The game is already starting!"

Nathan nodded and grabbed his wallet.

"Carrie, we'll be home around twelve!" he yelled at the nanny, before closing the door.

"Alright!" Carrie yelled at a closed door.

She was sitting in the kitchen, reading a book, while glancing at Jamie every ten minutes.

"I wish I could go to a Raven's game once... " she mumbled to herself. "I wouldn't mind watching coach Lucas for 48 minutes."

She smirked and shook her head, while turning over her book.

A large picture of Lucas Scott was spread across the backflap.

She sighed and stared at the clock.

08.30

10.06

Carrie jumped up a little as she heard the doorbell ring. She put her book down and looked at Jamie. He was still watching TV and cuddling his bear.

"Who could that be?" she whispered. "At this hour?"

She walked over to the door and slowly opened it.

"Who is it?" she asked.

Her voice was shaky. She had seen too many movies about babysitters getting killed.

"Carrie, right?" A strange man laughed. "God, I have heard so much about you!"

"Ye... yes, that's me." She cautiously smiled. "Who... "

She was interrupted by a little girl who started pulling her shirt.

"Oooh!" Carrie squeeled. "And who might this be?"

"I'm Jenny." The little girl shyly said, before hiding behind her father's back.

"Well, hello, Jenny!" she smiled.

She looked back at the man and now felt much safer about having him around.

"Is she yours?" she asked.

"Yes she is." He answered proudly, while carressing Jenny's hair.

"Unfortunately her mother passed away a few years away, God bless her soul." He added.

Carrie nodded and put her hand on her mouth. "Oh, poor thing."

"Peyton Sawyer." He sighed. "God, I miss her so much."

Carrie noticed his eyes tearing up and offered him to come inside.

"Are you a friend of the family?" she asked, while leading him into the living room.

"Yes, I'm... Hi, Jamie!" he yelled, while giving the little guy a hug

Jamie pulled back a little and frowned at him.

"He's a little shy." The man said to Carrie, while giving Jamie an angry look.

Carrie nodded and offered to make him a cup of coffee.

"Yes, please." The man gratefully accepted her offer.

Carrie walked into the kitchen to make him some coffee.

'What a nice man' she thought to herself. 'Good with kids, funny, cute... I wonder if he's single'
She did find it strange, on the other hand, that nor Nathan nor Haley had ever mentioned him before. If he was a friend of the family, then why had she never seen him before, either?

"Milk?" she yelled.

No answer.

"Sugar?" she tried again.

"Black it is... " she answered herself.

She walked into the living room, her hands filled with coffee and cookies.

"So, do you have a n... " she stopped talking and looked around.

The living room was empty and Jamie's teddy bear was lying on the couch, alone.

"That's odd." Carrie whispered. "Jamie never goes anywhere without that bear."

She walked further into the living room and started to shiver because of the cold wind coming out of the hall. She turned around to see the front door was open. Her cups and cookies fell to the floor as she started to yell.

"Jamie?!" she screamed, while running outside. "JAAMIIEEE?!"

So, what did you think? Should I continue? I've got to tell you I've got a lot more up my sleeve and I hope you liked the first chap already. Please review and let me know! Xxxxx.
