HEYY GUYS xD

I am

a die-hard one tree hill fan but even more than that , I am absolutely completely and utterly in love with NALEY 3 Aren't most of us?

After reading almost all the Naley and Haley/Lucas or Haley/someone else fanfictions , I decided that I want to write instead.

There is no couple more perfect than Nathan and Haley xD They've stuck together through practically everything. Because they love each other , Always and Forever.

And nothing else matters ^.^

Disclaimer- I DO NOT OWN ONE TREE HILL.

Haley James waited impatiently for the rosewood door infront Of her to open as she chewed on the inside of her cheek. Tossing her blonde hair over her shoulder , she looked up at the sky and smiled taking in the warmth of the air surrounding her.
Tree Hill.
It was good to be back. Same old little town.
Moving away had been hard but that was a long time ago. She was over It now. Or maybe she just got used to it. It felt the same either way. But the constant longing everyday to be able to come back just never went away. She missed it . Calling Luke out to play with his absolutely completely worn out basketball , the pretend SATs , Karen's homemade ice cream sundaes , the old tree swing in the park behind the church which she fell of off too many times to count , she missed it all.
She waited a few more seconds before knocking on it again , a bit harder this time.

"Geez , I'm coming , I'm coming!"
She smiled to herself when she heard the familiar voice call from inside. After a letting a few more seconds go by ,
she was about to raise her fist to knock for what seemed like the 100th time when the door flung open revealing her blond-haired blue eyed best in basketball shorts and his signature grey hoodie with 'Scott's body shop' scrawled across the back. His blue orbs widened when he saw her.

"No way! Haley?"

"The one and only" she smirked with her hands on her hips.

"Wha..what are you doing here?" He asked,surprised.

"I sure hope you're asking cuz ure happy to. See me" she wriggled her eyebrows causing him to chuckle.

"Of course I am hales! Its just..." He trailed off as his eyes landed on the big red suitcase resting next to her foot. He looked back up at her squinting in confusion.

"Luke.. We spend every summer together and I just... I mean , Unless this time you-" the rest of her sentence was engulfed in a yelp as he grabbed her waist and pulled her into him lifting her feet off of the ground.
She giggled as he spun around. Boy did she miss him.

"Yes , I love you too luke."

He set her back on her feet and shook his head as he grinned at her.

"Hales... I am so glad you're here! C'mon" he ushered her inside and picked up her suitcase before closing the door.

Haley walked in with her hands on her hips as she looked around the two-storey house.
It wasn't the biggest house in the neighborhood but it was big enough...it was perfect actually. It was roomy , warm and much more than lucas could afford by himself.

"Hey Luke?" She turned to him.

"Yeah?"

"How did you-"

"The house?" He cut her off. "Pretty amzing right? It's keith's."

"Keith?"

He smiled before he continued. " My mom's fiancee"

Haley's jaw almost hit the floor as she blinked several times trying to take in what Lucas had just told her.

"Shut up!" She gasped "wha...how long have I been gone?"

"Long enough hales." He grinned lopsided and shoved his hands into the pocket's of his hoodie. Haley just stared at him thinking about everything else that couldve changed as much. Lucas was going to have a father! She couldn't think of anything he'd wanted more since he was 9.

"Come on , let's get you somethin to drink."
He grabbed her hand and led her into the kitchen. Lucas opened the fridge ,pulled out a bottle of Sunkist and poured a glass for her.

"So tell me more about... Keith." She asked leaning against the counter.
He smiled as he handed her the glass.

"Well..." He paused for a brief moment. Haley simply stared up at him waiting for him to continue.

"He keeps my mom happy. I don't think I've ever seen her so happy. He treats her well , he's got the money , he sucks pretty bad at basketball though." He laughed.

"but he's-"

"A good father?" Haley interjected softly. Lucas looked at her and he saw it in her big brown eyes , how much she was hoping for him to say yes.

"He is Hales. He's a great father. He's a great man. So grounded all the time , you'd have to wonder why you couldn't be like him. He's been there for me , just like my mom has. He's even letting me stay here! I insisted that I'd move out once I make. Enough to get my own place but he refused to let me leave until I could afford a house..better than this one."

"Sounds nice." Haley smiled while she scanned her best friend's face.

"Yah." He shrugged. Haley finished the last of her drink and set the glass on the counter. She grabbed his shoulders and looked him in the eyes. "Then what's the matter Luke?" She asked. Lucas let out a sigh. There was no hiding it from Haley, he didn't know why he even tried to in the first place.

" I just... I feel like , if it wasn't for my mom...he wouldn't have done any of it."

"What?" Haley was taken aback by his answer.

"Hales... if it wasn't to make sure that Karen , his bride to be , was happy ... He probably wouldn't have given a crap about me."

"Lucas.. That isn't fair! If he's really tryin to reach out to you , I mean if he really wants to be a part of your life too , you... You gotta give him the benefit of the doubt."

"I dunno Hales...his asshole of a brother left me , I can't think of a reason why he'd want me any more than his brother."

"...Dan Scott , is Keith 'Scott's' brother?!"Haley asked even though she already knew his answer

Lucas simply nodded.

"Listen , Luke..." Haley started. She shut her eyes for moment and opened them again before she continued.
"I can see where you're coming from but I think you should trust your mom on this one. If there's one thing I know about Karen is that she would've never gone through with this no matter how much she loved Keith if she didn't think he'd be good for you."

Lucas thought about it. She was right. But then again ,She was Haley , she had to be right.

"Just... I know this is hard for you luke , but your mom deserves this so just..hang in there alright? Besides , Keith could rlly be ... Someone worth getting to know." She assured him. just like always. She always managed to calm him down. She always knew what to say. She could read him like a book.
And that's why she was his best friend. And an amazing one at that.
Haley sighed in relief when she saw him ease out.

"How do you do it Hales?" He asked with a small smile gracing his face.
She shrUgged her shoulders and pulled him in for a brief hug.

"Anytime buddy."
