A/N: Hey guys! Thanks to those who reviewed "Things People Say." This is my second story. Right now it's titled "In the Beginning." But I might change the name. If anyone can think of a better name, let me know! Please read and review, it really means a lot!

I was there in the beginning. Before anyone knew who he was. Before he even knew who he was. I saw the little boy he was. I saw the teenager he became. And I still see the young man he turned into.

My name is Brooke Davis and I'm Nathan Scott's best friend.

Well, at least I used to be. I guess now I have a few other names. Some would call me his confidant. His love. The mother of his two children. I just call myself his wife.

It took us a while to get to this place. The place where both of us can say with absolute certainty that we're happy. It wasn't always that easy. Or that happy for the matter.

It was a long, winding road of heartache and betrayal, but….Well, maybe I should start at the beginning.

So I know I said my name is Brooke Davis. But really it's Brooke Scott.

You know, I always thought I would end up being married to a Scott brother. Of course, back in high school, I always thought it would be Lucas. I never did in my wildest dreams think Haley and I would trade places. After high school, she became Mrs. Lucas Scott and I became Mrs. Nathan Scott.

And to think, even after all the drama we went through, we're all the best of friends still!

A/N: So I know it was kind of short! Sorry about that but it is just an introduction chapter. Next chapter should be much longer!
