This is my second project, named after the song "My Everything" by Goldfinger. Not a romantic song ast ALL, but I still like the title. It's actually a rock-song, don't know why I picked it. But anyway, it fits with the title. If you've read the first chapter of the Something More Sequel, you know that I'm not the greatest updater. But as I wrote there, I will try my best to give you more as we go along. I have 8 chapters written, so that will keep you entertained for a few weeks at least!

Alright, so summary: One summer, six parents, five college students and one high school girl. The fun summer Haley James had in mind is definitely not the one she got, or is it?

This is just a short prologue, I guess the next chapters will be longer. Thank you for sticking by me and my stories! Hope you'll enjoy this one as well!

Chapter 1 – Italian Summer (prologue)

Summer. It's the best time of year. The time when you can sleep in late and just do whatever you whish. There is no school, no curfew. Just sun, fun and parties. Life seems simpler in the summer. You get to take a break from all the people you're sick of, while just spending quality time with the ones you can't live without! Summer is simply just about doing whatever you want, with whoever you want, whenever you want. At least that's what a normal summer should be like for normal girl who just graduated high school, and is ready to take on college. But not for Haley James, because she wasn't like all the other girls.

I wouldn't say that she was boring, she could definitely rock your socks if she tried. No, Haley James was everything but boring, it was just that not so many people knew that. Usually when you like to spend time alone, people stereotype you as boring or maybe a loner. Haley James wasn't a loner, she just enjoyed the silence and company of a good book or her iPod. That is why a trip to Italy for the summer didn't seem like such a bad idea for Haley, at first.

The thought of lying countless hours on a sand beach with the sun shining on her body, and a good book she could get lost in by her blanket, seemed like the perfect summer in Haley's eyes. Of course she knew things would get a bit old after two weeks, when she was supposed to be there for six, but her sister would be there. Haley always found company in Taylor, even if she was four years older.

Haley and Taylor James were close sisters, and they came from one of the wealthiest families in Tree Hill, North Carolina, which was their home town. Their father owned a large company, causing their lifestyle to be pretty extravagant. Taylor had just finished college, four years at UNC, making this a perfect oppertunity for the girls to spend some quality time together. Haley couldn't hide the fact that she missed her sister sometimes, even if it was nice to have some peace and quiet around the house.

Taylor had always been the wild child, loving the party scene and having a different boyfriend every week. She had a body to kill for, but she worked pretty hard to keep in shape, something guys noticed. She was a free spirited type of person, open for anything and not afraid to live on the wild side of life. Unlike her sister, she didn't care where the wind blew her, as long as she got somewhere. Taylor would easily get bored, and she got sick at the thought of reading a whole book. She had middle length, blonde hair and deep brown eyes. Her lips were perfect, and highly kissable. Usually, it wouldn't take long for her to find a guy she liked and do him. Grace and honor was never something Taylor bothered herself with, just like respect. Some would call her easy, some would call her a slut, but Haley liked to think that she was just free.

For some odd reason, Haley felt like she had to cover all the qualities her sister didn't posess. Her parents had never been very fond of her sister's ways, and they had shown their disapproval clearly through several speeches and other boring ways. Maybe Lydia and Jimmy James were just too old fashion to understand, or maybe they were just tied down by etiquett and reputation. The James family was know all over the state as a wealthy and honorable family with deep respect for themselves as well as others. Maybe Taylor just didn't fit in, or maybe she didn't want to...

Never the less, Haley tried to be the perfect child. Well, at least she felt like she had to try. Although Haley wasn't some stuck up, rich kid with her head in the sky, pretending she was an angel, she lived her life after the rules that were set. If she was told to come home at 10 pm, she would be there 9.55. If she was told to clean her room on Friday, it would be tidy by Thursday night. This didn't go unnoticed by her parents who worshiped Haley for her qualities and potential.

Haley, like her sister, was a very pretty girl. Guys would often refer to her as; hot, but she had never been in a serious relationship before. She had gone on dates, and had some flings, but never anything more serious than that. Her best friend always told her to loosen up more, and therefore she had caught herself going to parties more often, but still she wouldn't be considered as a so called 'wild child'. Lucy, her best friend, was sort of like an example for her, and at times Haley would find herself trying to become more like Lucy. She had colored her hair the same colour, and they both attended cheerleading. But Haley was and would always be her own person. She was full of life and strong opinions. She knew what she wanted and where she was going with her life!

All her life, Haley had grown up sorrunded by Tree Hill's finest. If I were to shorten that down for you, it would mean: The Scotts. They consisted of two families, one built by each of the Scott brothers: Dan and Keith. Keith was the oldest one, and he had married his high school sweetheart, Karen Roe right out of high school. They were the ideal example of true love in Haley's eyes, a couple who had made it through every obstacle in life without breaking up. She always felt like they were a gutsy pair of teenagers to get married so young! Haley knew she could never do that at 17, she was no where near ready for marrige! But then again, she had never been in a serious relationship, so what did she know about true love?

Karen and Keith had waited until they were out of college and both had stable jobs, before settling down and creating a family. The same year Haley's parents had Taylor, Karen gave birth to their son, Lucas. He was a smart boy, sort of the boy version of Haley. Always doing what he was told and doing well in school. Lucas had just graduated from Brown, majoring in litterature and he was currently waiting for his first novell to be published. Karen had opened up a café in Tree Hill, creating a safe and cosy meeting place for kids all over town. Karen's Café was everybody's gathering spot, and Haley had been lucky enough to catch a job there at an early age. She had been a waitress since she was 14, and she loved it.

The other brother, Dan Scott, married his college girlfriend, Deborah Lee. Her friends call her Deb. They also decided to settle in Tree Hill, where Dan opened up a car dealership together with his brother. Up until this very day, the two of them have done great with their business, making more money than their families would ever need. The same year Taylor and Lucas were born, Deb also gave birth to their only children. Deb actually had twins, later known as the famous Scott twins. Haley had never been especially close to either of them, but she knew especially the girl a little bit.

Rachel Scott was Taylor's best friend, and they had been joined at the hip since birth. Rachel and her brother were born only days before Taylor and Lucas, so all four of them grew up together. They would always hang out, often at Haley's house, but Haley never felt like joining them because of their age differece. Rachel was even more of a party girl then her best friend, but deep down she had good heart. Haley remembered the first time she got her period. Her parents were out of town, and Taylor was too busy with her latest boyfriend to care. That's when Rachel stepped up and explained to Haley what her body was going through, as well as helped her shop for the needed accessories. Since then, Rachel and Haley had always been sort of friends, although they didn't spend much time together.

The other Scott twin, on the other hand, was a much more interesting chapter. He was the picture of perfection, the living example of a Greek God. He was cocky as hell, but he knew he was hot and all the girls wanted him. Usually he would have a diferent girl in his bed every night, so he was sort of like a bigger slut than his sister and Taylor, together! With his perfect, styled hair, his strong and handsome features and his deep, intense and fierce blue eyes; Nathan Scott was every girls dream. Haley had never spoken to him much, but she could feel herself getting nervous around him just by him being in the room. In some way, she guessed that she had always had some sort of crush on Nathan. Ever since she was about six years old, she would watch him as he played around with Lucas, Rachel and Taylor in their back yard. Thinking back she just laughed at that. Haley knew she didn't have a chance with Nathan. For startes, he loved skinny, blonde bimbos who would sleep with him after a few drinks, and Haley wasn't that type of girl. Second, she was four years younger than him, and she would always be Taylor's baby sister. But this didn't bother her that much anyway, it wasn't like she had some epic love with Nathan. It was just a silly, little, childish crush she had from when she was six years old.

When it came to boys, Haley was never the most experienced one. She was still a virgin, wanting to wait until she knew it was right before giving away such a big part of herself. Randome hook ups weren't her thing either, that was more Lucy. She had no problem in flirting though, and she was a great dancer. Haley could make any guy go crazy if she dressed slutty enough and danced hot enough, but you could never make her believe that! In Haley's eyes, she was a normal high school girl who was just trying to find her place in the world and explore new parts of her life. College was screaming her name, and she loved the idea of moving out and attending a big college. Haley had applied to both Duke, Stanford and NYU, but she wasn't sure where she would end up. In some way, Stanford had always been her dream school, but she knew she would get a safer network with more of her old friends if she chose Duke or NYU. She guessed time would tell her where to go.

Taylor had bearly finished college, and majored in dance. She was working as a freelance-dancer, which probably only meant that she was unemployed. Haley had to laugh at Taylor's career choise, while her parents hated the fact that their oldest daughter hadn't chosen something more important to do with her life. Rachel had gotten a job with a fashion magasin as a stylist for photoshoots, while Lucas was a publishing writer. Nathan had done the best in their parents' eyes. He had graduated from Yale with a degree in law, and he had gotten a job with a well known agency in New York city. It was clear that he was a smart one, although his first choise had been to play basketball. Sadly, an injury his senior year of high school stopped him from getting a scholarship and play, but his academics brought him a long way on their own.

Academics and interest in school work and the future were probably the only things Nathan and Haley had in common. Haley loved school, and she was pretty sad that high school was over, even if she couldn't wait to take in the challenging adventures college would bring. Something about college seemed scary, while high school was safe and familiar. The thought of never walking those hallways, and never bouncing another basketball in the gym kind of made Haley sad. Not that she had a talent for sports or enjoyed walking that much, it was all symbolic and special for any student who had graduated from Tree Hill High. The school in it self had succeeded in creating a good environment for its students, and the teachers considered themselves friends and guiders for the pupils, rather than bitter old folks who were tired with life and the rituals that came from their profession. The differences that would come when Haley entered college were not things she worried about, but she was glad that she had a summer to relax before packing her things and leave her home.

That was another reason why spending six weeks in Italy with her family seemed perfect for little Haley James. At first she thought it would give her quality time with her sister, giving them chances to catch up on everything that had happened in their lives as well as joining each other in exploring the island they would be staying on. She knew her parents would probably leave the girls alone for most of their stay, since they were never much family people in the first place. When Haley learned that they wouldn't be spending the summer alone as a family, she felt mixed feelings inside. Yeah, sure, more kids equals more fun. But on the other hand; Taylor, Lucas, Nathan and Rachel were all 21 years old and done with the life Haley was expecting. They had graduated college and their goals in life had changed in the past four years. Was it really possible for her to have fun all six weeks with four 21 year olds? As it showed, Lucas would be bringing his buddy Jake along, causing them to be five 21 year olds. How would that summer turn out for little baby James?

Well, Haley guessed she would just have to go along with the plan and expect the best from her summer abroad. She had always lived by the motto: You don't have any more fun than you create yourself. And that was exactly what she would do! Haley intended to have fun her last summer before college, even if that meant spending it with a bunch of people she had nothing in common with. It could turn out to be fun. I mean, who knew what would happen in the next six weeks? Maybe she would make new friends? Maybe she would meet some hot, Italien stud and have a wild and adventurous summer fling? Maybe both at the same time? All Haley hoped for was that somehow, in some way, this summer would change her for the better.

If she only knew what laid ahead...

So that was the prologue, giving you the backround story as well as an idea of how this story is set to be. I hope you liked it, and that you'll stay with me and read. Of course it's a Naley story, and I've got some pretty fun stuff planned for them. Just wait and see. Oh, and review :D
