Pretender Summary
Summary: Dan Scott runs a double life.
The summer before leaving for college, Dan Scott learnt by Karen Roe, his high school girlfriend, that she was pregnant with his baby. They both decided he couldn't abandon his studies and he left for University, promising her that he would be back for her and the baby. While being at the university, he met Deborah Lee and immediately fell in love with her. They went out for a month before she realized she was pregnant. Dan decided he couldn't abandon Karen or Deb and continued dating them and eventually married both.
Several years later: Nathan, Lucas and Lily are 16 years old.
In Tree Hill, North Carolina, he is married to Karen, and they are raising their twins Lucas and Lily. Lily's bf is Peyton Sawyer. LP used to date but Peyton is now with Jake Jagielski. Lucas' bfs are Skills and Mouth.
In Daytona Beach, Florida, Dan is living with Deb and their son Nathan and Deb's goddaughter Brooke. Brooke lives with them because her mother is in rehab (she's an alcoholic and addicted to drugs) and her father lives in England. She only sees him during the holiday. Nathan and Brooke never dated. They strictly have a brother/sister relationship. He's not married to Haley either but they are dating. Brooke's bf is Rachel.
Neither family is aware of the other existence. Dan always pretends to be on business trips and spends his life making up excuses and lies to justify his strange behavior. He spends a week or two at each place and both families never questioned that fact. No one suspects him; they just blame his job for taking his time.
Lucas and Nathan are both basketball players and know of each other's existence through their performances but surprisingly their teams never met, yet. But they are soon going to. And Dan will have to face his greatest fear.
