Disclaimer: I don't own One Tree Hill, sadly, nor do I own Nathan or Lucas, Which is a good thing for you all seeing as if I did they'd be far to busy doing other activities to appear on the show!

A/N: Ok, Story takes place near the end of season one. Please note this will be a Lucas/Nathan fic, so if that doesn't float you're boat set sail else where. :)

Just a side note here, I'm looking to improve my writing so when reviewing suggestions of any kind are more than welcome.

Moving on

Chapter 1

The two lay in the dark room, illuminated only by the light of the moon casting down upon the bed where they lay. Silently enjoying the company of one another, bodies wrapped together closely embracing one another.

The Brunette boy leaned in gently kissing the top of the auburn haired girls head while whispering, "I love you, Hales."

The Girl looked up at the boy a smile gracing her beautiful lips as she responded, "I love you too, Nate."

Nathan couldn't contain the grin that crept across his face. His whole life, all 17 years, which was all he ever truly wanted. Another living soul who truly loved him. Growing up with Dan Scott, over baring father who wished to relive his glory days through you, and absentee mother Deb Scott, who spent much of her time working, love was somewhat of a foreign language to him.

His mind raced, he was in love. She loved him back. Somewhat overwhelmed by his thoughts the brunette blurted out the next thought that crossed his mind.

"Marry me."

Haley's smile immediately faded, a look mixed with fear and shock taking its place. "W-what?" She asked nervously.

"Marry me," he repeated.

"Nathan, I can't, no we can't get married! We're too young." She pleaded.

"I love you, Haley."

"I love you too, but…" She began before being cut off.

"I can love you forever Hales."

"And I you, but Nathan."

"So why can't forever start now?" He begged while grasping her hands and holding them close to his firm chest.

"I, I'm sorry, Nathan. I can't marry you…" Haley answered dropping her gaze from his eyes unable to bring her to look at him, tears slowly sliding down her cheeks.

"Oh Hales, please don't cry." He said gently wiping the tears from her cheeks. "It's alright, I understand if you're not ready."

She pulled her head away from him stepping off the bed rising to her feet. She walked over to the window and stared out, unable to focus on anything. Her mind and heart racing, overwhelming her thoughts.

Nathan rose to his feet walking p behind Haley he reached his arms out to wrap them around her waist to comfort her.

Just as his hands came on contact with her slender hips he felt her grasp his wrists pushing them away. She still refused to face him, knowing the hurt she'd see in his eyes from her coldness to him.

"I'm sorry, Nathan, I think we should break up." She whimpered.

"What? Why?" He cried. We just said I love you to one another, this can't be it!"

"I'm sorry, Nathan."

"Just tell me why, I don't understand," he pleaded tears threatening to fall.

Haley turned to face him, "I really do care about you, Nathan that is why I need to do this…" She hesitated.

"Are you listening to yourself? That makes no sense."

"Nate, there is someone else has my heart. I think he always did."

"What? Who?" He shouted anger getting the better of him. He looked down into those beautiful brown eyes of hers seeing the hesitation in her. His heart began to race. 'No not him' he thought to himself.

"Lucas…" He whispered and watched fearfully as the woman he loved nodded her head.

'The bastard! First Peyton, than my position on the team, and now this!' He thought to himself his blood boiling. "I'm going to kill that Bastard!" He shouted while grabbing his shirt and shoes and storming out the door, leaving Haley in tears in the darkness of his room.

"Lucas!" Nathan shouted furiously searching the rivercourt to find his estranged brother.

Glaring all around the court Nathan's eyes searched trying to find him. Sighing in frustration after not finding him he noticed out the corner of his eye the wild blonde locks of his older brothers hair just off in the distance, down by the river which ran alongside the court.

He immediately marched over fists clenched ready to settle things between the two once and for all.

"Lucas! We need to talk," Nathan shouted through clenched teeth quickly approaching his brother all the while noticing that Lucas still had failed to acknowledge his presence. This only annoyed, Nathan, that much more.

Upon reaching his brother he noticed Lucas was sitting, knee's held tightly to his chest with his arms wrapped around them.

"Lucas, don't you dare ignore me!" Nathan hollered.

Lucas slowly turned his gaze from the tranquil blue waters facing his brother, his gaze meeting Nathan's. His eyes were red, bloodshot, tears streamed freely down from his eyes.

Nathan, upon seeing his Luke's state, completely forgot of revenge. Brotherly instincts kicking in he rushed to his side.

"Oh god, Luke, what's wrong? Are you alright? What happened?" He asked bombarding him with questions.

Lucas looked up into his brother's eyes, "she killed him Nate…" Was all he could get out before breaking down sobbing into Nathan's shoulder.
