This is the beginning of this story and I just wanted to explain what was going on in each person's life.
Nathan and Haley: just got back together. They live together in their apartment. Nathan's having some trust problems with Haley. He's afraid that she's gonna leave him again. He's also having some problems within himself. He's confused about whether he wants to let Haley back in even though they are officially "together". She wants him to forgive her for leaving. She tries to explain why she left. She's afraid to sing anymore. Although she knows that she wants to be with Nathan forever she knows she wants to sing but is afraid that he will not like it. Afraid that he will feel more pain just to hear her.
Lucas: He's with the new girl, Ashley. He broke up with Brooke because he felt she didn't trust him and that she was trying to cause trouble by overreacting about little things. He likes Ashley and is glad she moved to Tree Hill. He's trying to make sure that he's 100 in the relationship.
Brooke: she's trying to deal with the fact that Lucas dumped her. She's having an even harder time when she hears that he's going out with someone else. She's leaner hard on Peyton for support but finds that Peyton kinda agrees with Lucas.
Peyton: is kinda in agreement with Lucas but still wants to be a good friend to Brooke. However she has her own problems. She just found out that her father died. She's planning his funeral and has been really pissy. She wants to move away but Lucas and Brooke convinced her not to.
Ashley: she is the new girl in school and get to know Lucas Scott who she is now going out with. She likes him but is wondering if he's just using her to get back at Brooke. She hates that she wonders that cause she really likes Lucas and wants to always be with him. The only thing that she hides from him is what happened to her and why she really moved here.
