Well looks like I'm back, I was just going to replace the original story with this one, but then I thought I would leave that one up and make this a new story, so those of you who want to compare them, can do just that. One more thing before I stop bugging you, I'm going to be sticking to a weekly update unless I feel like giving you all an extra gift. So here is how it will work. If you live above the international date line. You will get it on Friday afternoon/ evening. If you live below the date line you'll get it on Saturday mornings I don't know the times cos they will change. So without further a due. Here is the rewritten Coming Home.

Edited: Thank you Rocklesson86 for pointing out Google had failed me, and to wft guest for reminding me that I hadn't fixed this blunder. Cruse you Google I thought we were friends!

One year ago, Savannah Georgia

If someone had told Nathan Scott seven years ago that he would be living in a place that wasn't Tree Hill he wouldn't have believed them, okay so maybe he had thought about it, when he was younger. But Tree Hill was home it always had been, so back then to imagine living anywhere else was, somewhat of a difficult task. However, if back then someone had told him, his uncle was well for the lack of a better term, insane he probably wouldn't have believed them either. Nathan was sure that, if someone wanted to really convince him, it would have taken some time, and well not that much evidence to prove to him that Dan Scott had somewhere along the way lost the plot entirely. Daniel L. Scott was a master manipulator, and if it hadn't been for Nathan's girlfriend- who was now his wife- he probably would never have known, just how cunning his Uncle was.

"I think we should move back to Tree Hill," he said Haley stopped what she was doing and looked up at him, he couldn't be serious, could he? After all they had gone through, after all Dan had done to keep them away, her husband wanted to move back there? As much as she loved Tree Hill - and she did love it with all her heart- she knew that moving back there could potentially be the worst decision they could ever make; not only for them but for their friends and family.

"Nathan we left Tree Hill because of your uncle, now you want to go back there? That's just insane, not to mention reckless, what would Dan do? Hell what would our families do, they don't exactly know the full story"she said putting down one of their sons t-shirts. Haley knew he was well -intentioned but they had spoken about this in the past and both had thought it was best not to tempt fate. It was the reason; Nathan had given up his lifelong dream of playing of the Charlotte Bobcats and had played for the Seattle Sonics instead a team that would keep them well away from North Carolina and Tree Hill, thus keeping not only their son, but the rest of their extended family safe.

"I know it's insane and reckless but think about it. Hales we could take him on and win. You and I both know that he's losing it more than usual. We've both seen that in what he's done in the past year. Running for Mayor was a way for him to appear as normal to Tree Hill. I also know you, I know that you want to go back. I see how much you miss your mum, Quinn, Brooke, Peyton and Lucas. I see it every day; you miss them terribly. Besides we owe them an explanation, your mum deserves the truth; and Mrs Edwards should know that her son didn't kill anyone. Imagine living with that for seven years, think how you would feel if you were told Jamie killed someone before killing himself. I know it's morbid but just think about it, wouldn't you want to know the truth?" Nathan asked sitting down beside Haley and taking the shirt out of her hands and taking them in his.

"Nathan, we have jobs here, our lives are here. Okay so we pick everything up and move to Tree Hill what kind of reception do, you think we will get?" She asked

"My best guess...Glacial, we hurt a lot of people, but for a good reason, one they all deserve to know. Hales, Tree Hill is our home we have both always said that; and I am sick of my Uncle thinking he can show up in the town we are living in, and we will run, because that has been all we have ever done. Personally I think it is time we make him want to run he hasn't bothered us in a while, he's too busy tormenting some other poor unfortunate soul, but he will come back to us eventually you know that as well as I do. So why don't we make the first move show him that he no longer has the upper hand, that he is no longer dealing with two teenagers scared of him. If he wants a fight, that's exactly what he's gonna get, because you and I both know as soon as our friends and family find out it was all his doing. There is going to be hell to pay, and Dan is going to be paying it in the form of pain. Besides would you want to be Dan when Brooke finds out she didn't get to plan our wedding?" Haley had to give him that; she knew he was right, that their friends and family should know them on a more personal level, other than what they had seen over the news in the last couple of years with the rise and fall of Nathan's basket ball career. She also wanted Jamie to actually know his aunts, uncles and grandparents. Her only reservation was Dan and what he would do, would he do what he had said seven years ago. Then there was what people would say, would they even believe them not to mention the fallout all this would create they would be turning the lives of everyone they cared about, upside down once again. Were they really ready for that?

"Are you prepared for the fallout Nathan? Your dad loves his brother in all his misguided ways. Keith has never seen the Dan we know. Are you ready to put your father through that?" She asked resting her head on his. Nathan knew she was right, Keith Scott love his younger brother to no end sure Dan had his faults but so did everyone was what Keith ended up saying, about anyone who was a flawed as Dan. Haley just wished her father-in-law knew how much of a master manipulator his little brother was and that he only saw the Daniel that his brother wanted him to see.

"I know, I know dad loves him. Hell the whole town loves him, for the simple fact that they don't know what we do? Admit it Hales there was once a time when we were kids that we loved him too. He has that effect on people. But do you honestly think we would be where we are today if we had stayed? Do you think we would have Jamie? Haley I never want to think about what would have happened to you if we didn't run. I can't imagine my life without you and, you and I both know that, something would have happened if we had stayed. Besides it's time Tree Hill sees the real Dan Scott, the one you and I have known for years. So yeah I am ready for the fall out and everything. But are you because this has more to do with your family; are you ready to tell them what you saw that day? "

"Honestly I don't know"
