Hey guys! I can't get over this dream I had about the PERFECT One Tree Hill story! Slight AU and kind of OOC, but only when it comes to sexual preference : )
Summary: Brandon Wooldridge's parents wanted nothing to do with him after they found out he was gay. Now, he begins to start his life anew with his Aunt Kaylin. He can't help but feel hatred toward his parents that stopped loving him when he knew who he realized he didn't want to live his life a lie. Brandon is hoping to put it all behind, maybe meet some new friends, and possibly, a boyfriend.
Pairings: Mainly Lucas/OC and with a little of Nathan/Haley, Peyton/Jake, and Brooke/OC.
I do not own One Tree Hill, sadly. But I do own Brandon and his family.
By the way, I apologize for the lack of sequence separations. This site is weird and it wouldn't let me do a one-liner used any characters. So instead, when you see One Tree Hill in bold, that means it's a new scene.
One Tree Hill
God, the last week passed by in such a blur. I just remember yelling, lots and lots of yelling. And crying, lots of that, too. Luckily, my Aunt Kaylin decided to take me in after my parent's decided that they had no son. Harsh, right? Well, I got the better end of the stick. Kaylin couldn't care less who I did or didn't like. In fact, she encourages me to be myself at all times. A big change from what I used to live like.
"Here's the rest of your stuff, Bran," Kaylin said, setting a small box of DVD's on my bed.
"Thanks, Kaylin," I said rather depressingly. Kaylin sighed and sat down next to me on my bed.
"I know it must be hard for you, Brandon, but you'll have a better life here. No need to hide your secret in your own home. My sister and your dad will never be here to disown you. But I'm here. And all I'll ever do is love you." she smiled sweetly and pulled me into a side hug.
"Thanks, Kaylin." I smiled back, leaning into her embrace. "I think I'm gonna go for a walk, if that's okay...?" I asked her. I had to be by myself. I needed the peace only a lonely walk could provide.
"Of course it's okay. Just be home for dinner, okay? I'm making my famous call to the Thai restaurant." she chuckled. I nodded and left my room to head for the front door.
ONE TREE HILL
I walked for about 15 minutes and ended up in a populated part of town. Way more commotion than the area I lived, but it was still very "small-town." The wind was slightly picking up, giving my dark brown hair motion. My stomach started growling. I looked at the time on my cell phone, which read 2:07. There was still some time before dinner. I looked around to see if there was some restaurant I could grab something at. I decided to go to this nice little place called, "Karen's Cafe."
I walked into it, instantly greeted by the sound of dozens of conversations from the cafe's customers. I sat myself in the closest booth to the door, being that it was the only free seating in the entire place.
"Hi, what can I get for you today?" he said, gazing down at me. I was speechless. He was, by far, the hottest guy I've ever seen. His sandy blonde hair was engulfed by sunlight from the open window, making it brighter and lighter than it really was. His piercing blue eyes looking into my green ones.
"Umm...umm...what do you got?" I asked sheepishly. He chuckled and pointed to the menu next to my hand. "Oh..." I said, blushing profusely. I hope he didn't notice that. I skimmed over the menu quickly to decide what I would have. "Umm...BLT with onion rings, I guess." It came out somewhat quieter than I expected, but he caught it.
"Alright. Anything to drink?" he asked, looking back from his notepad back into my gaze.
"Iced tea, please." I said a little louder this time, making sure I wasn't as quiet as before.
"Coming right up." he smiled. Oh jeez...what an insanely amazing smile. It was almost angelic, but it was too manly to be. He turned around after a couple of seconds to place the order.
As I waited for my food, I kept glancing over at him, and he seemed to do the same...I think. I only saw him face me out of the corner of my eye, never really catching him.
"Here's your food." The waiter said, placing my plate in front of me, along with a tall glass of iced tea.
"Can I get you anything else?" he asked patiently, looking back down at me.
"I think I'm good." I said, my gaze never escaping his own. He nodded and went back to the other customers. I ate my food, which was fantastic, and left a hearty tip. I exited the cafe, giving one last glance at my waiter, who was talking to some woman behind the counter, who I assumed was the owner. I left the cafe with a grin on my face and thoughts of him rushing through my brain.
ONE TREE HILL
"Wow, that was great Kaylin. You really do know how to order." I said, chuckling slightly.
"Eh, it's a talent. You'll pick up on it once you're here long enough." she grinned, taking one last bite of some sort of chicken. Looks like I do have some work to do when it comes to ordering in. I got up, grabbed the dishes off the table, and headed for the sink. "Ah uh uh...we have a dishwasher for that kind of stuff." she said, taking the plates from my hand and placing them into an empty dishwasher.
"Oh...sorry. Not really used to that...they always had me do the dishes by hand..." I said, looking down at the floor. She rubbed my back consolingly in response to my sudden change in attitude.
"Oh, I have a job you can do though, Bran," she mentioned, turning toward the corner of the kitchen. "You can take out the trash for me." she said, sweetly smiling at me, gesturing at the waist-high white trashcan next to the backdoor.
"I'd be happy to." I said, grabbing the bag of garbage, heading out the front door with the rustle of plastic following me.
I put the bag into the much larger trashcan and gazed up at the moon. It was absolutely breathtaking. Back where I lived, you couldn't see the sky like this. It was usually just a handful of stars and a moon peaking out from behind a building. Here, it was just so open and freeing. I decided to just stare up and look for constellations. Seeing as I'm not an astrologist, it was a pretty difficult. I decided to head back inside, despite the natural beauty above me, but I heard running footsteps coming down the street.
It was the waiter from the cafe. Seems he had just come back from a late-night jog because he was wearing baggy shorts and a muscle shirt, which was now stained on his chest by his own sweat. He looked up and stopped dead in his tracks, locking his eyes with mine. He rushed to me, reaching into his pocket. I turned to face him, but looked at him quizzically.
"Here." he said, panting. "You left your cell phone in the cafe." I'm not gonna lie. His panting...pretty sexy...
"Oh, thanks. I didn't even realize I didn't have it on me." I chuckled, putting the phone back into my pocket.
"No problem." he said sweetly, grinning widely while rubbing the back of his head. "You know, I don't seem to recognize you. Are you new to this town?" he asked curiously.
"Umm...y-yeah," I responded hesitantly. "I just moved in with my aunt." I said, gesturing back to the house behind me.
"You're...you're Kaylin's nephew?" he said, still grinning but looking rather surprised.
"I'm guessing you know her...?" I asked, grinning.
"Well, you could say that. Looks like we're next door neighbors." he said, gesturing toward the house sitting on the corner of the street, next to my aunt's.
"Oh, wow. Didn't see that one coming." I laughed lightly, which was returned by my new neighbor.
"Hey, time for dinner!" the woman from the cafe called from their front porch.
He looked at the woman calling him and then back at me with an apologetic look on his face. "Umm..I got to go. My mom is calling for me. But since your new, maybe you wouldn't mind a little tour of the town tomorrow...?" he suggested, looking slightly hopeful.
"No, sounds fun." I said, smiling at him.
"Great. I'll come over around 10-ish." he said, grinning shyly, which was also pretty sexy.
"Sounds great. See you tomorrow." I said, smiling once again. "Oh, I'm Brandon, by the way." I introduced myself, stopping at the path leading up to the house.
"Nice to meet you, Brandon. I'm Lucas." he mentioned before turning back toward his house. I sighed dreamily and walked back into the house.
I could hear the sound of the television coming from the family room down the hall. "Hey, mind if I go out tomorrow? Maybe get to know the town a little bit better?" I asked, walking into the room, plopping myself down onto the couch.
"Sure, no problem. I have to work tomorrow, anyways. Wish I could take you around myself, though." she said, turning toward me.
"Oh, don't worry about it. I can handle it." I grinned. "So what we watching?" I asked curiously, turning my attention toward the television.
"Some teen soap. 'One Rose Valley,' something or other." she said, distractedly telling me while keeping her gaze toward the screen.
"Not really my thing, Kaylin, but you keep watching. I think I'm going to turn in." I said, getting up from where I was sitting and heading down the hall toward my room.
"'Kay. Good night, Bran." she called from her spot on the couch.
I entered my room and plugged my cell phone into it's charger and got on my laptop. I decided to head into a chat room for gay teens, hoping to find a new friend that might have even gone through with what I did. I decided to play some music so I opened my iTunes window and clicked "shuffle." The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Runaway" started to play.
I was feeling sad.
Can't help looking back.
Highways flew by.
Run, run, run away.
No sense of time.
Want you to stay.
Want to keep you inside
Run, run, run away.
Lost, lost, lost my mind.
Want you to stay.
Want you to be my prize.

My monitor blipped and a window was flashing in my task bar. Looks like I got a private message.
MrR4567 – hey whats up
I decided to type him a message back.
XxStud17xX – not much going on here. How about you
MrR4567 – same here, just listening to some music
XxStud17xX – oh yeah? What kind of music do you listen to
MrR4567 has signed off
"...prick..." I sighed before closing out of the chat room and shutting my laptop off. I threw my shirt on the floor and climbed into bed, pulling my green comforter over me as I slowly drifted off to sleep.
ONE TREE HILL
He kissed my neck as I moaned into his. I frantically pushed his shirt up, making sure that the loss of contact was only for a split second. I could feel him caress the back of my head while I rubbed my hands over the newly exposed flesh. He quickly pulled my shirt off and began trailing hungry kisses down my torso, each kiss loaded with such a shivering pleasure that I had to stifle my moans.
He came back up and greedily captured my lips in his, his sprinkle of facial hair tickling my lips. I flipped him over and started rubbing my way down his stomach, unbuttoning his jeans. All that could be heard in the room was heavy panting from both parties, until the door swung open.
"What the FUCK is going on here?!" I turned, terrified, toward the angry, drunken face of my father.
ONE TREE HILL
I woke up in cold sweat, gasping for air. I frantically grabbed for my phone, flipping it open to reveal it was 3:31. I sighed and laid my head back onto the pillow. Only 4 more hours until I had to wake up. I scoffed at the thought. Only...?!
ONE TREE HILL
