Chapter 1- Family Ties

"Hey, wake up sleeping beauty." He teased as he gently pushed her sleeping figure.

"No, I had a long night, let me sleep." She groaned, pulling the sheets up over her head.

"Hales, you and Lucas watched movies all night. Now get up lazy bones before Karen calls wondering why you are late for work."

Haley shot up from her bed at the mention of work and looked at her clock seeing it was 9:45 am and she was going to be late for work.

"Jake! Why didnt you wake me up like an hour ago?" She exclaimed as she jumped off her bed and ran to her closet to grab clothes before running to the bathroom to get ready fast.

He just laughed as she hurried to get ready. He went over to the bathroom door before talking threw it to her, "Brooke is waiting downstairs for you to go to work, by the way." She then let out a frustrated sigh as she threw the door open to glare at him. "I'm headed to the river court with Nathan to practice for a while, I'm thinking we will stop by for lunch."

Haley looked down as she started walking over to her bed trying to hide the small smile that formed on her face at the mention of her brothers best friend. The mention of them being at the Cafe later, almost gave her butterflies.

She truned to her brother with a half smile acting like it was no big deal, "Thanks for the heads up, I gotta go. See ya loser!" Haley smiled and laughed as she grabbed her cell and purse before running out of her room and downstairs to a waiting and annoyed Brooke.

"Haley!" Brooke exclaimed dramatically as she noticed Haley running down the stairs. "were going to be late now!'

"Sorry Brookie, you can blame your lame loser of a cousin for not waking me up earlier." Haley shrugged and smiled at Brooke hoping she would forgive her and be annoyed with Jake instead.

"Okay fine." Brooke said smiling back at her favorite cousin and yelling to Jake as the they walked out the house, "Bye Jakey, thanks for making us late!" Brooke and Haley both laughed as they walked out of the house and to Brookes light blue, VW Bug. Both girls getting in, they sped off to the Cafe.

"Hey man, your late." Jake said as he shot the basket ball into the hoop as Nathan walked on the court.

"Sorry bro, Lucas wouldnt stop talking about one of the movies he and Hales watched last night and when I left to come here he asked me to drop him by the Cafe." Looking over to his best friend as he dropped his bag and clapped once for the ball, Jake threw it to him as he shot it, making a swish as he smiled and turned back to Jake.

"So, how was the 'party' last night?" Nathan said throwing up air quotes, to signify he knew Jake lied about going to a party.

Jake looked at him shocked, thinking he played it off pretty well yesterday, "I, uh..., well last night, was uh...," he started to studder a bit as he didn't know how to explain himself.

Nathan just started to laugh as Jake didn't know what to say next. "Dude! Don't sweat it, Peyton is my cousin, she told me last night that you guys went to a movie." Nathan chuckled a few more times as jaked recovered himself.

"Nate, I was going to tell you, I just didn't know how." Jake said hoping Nathan wasn't he pissed.

"Jake, your my best friend, you don't have to keep the fact that you have the hots for Peyton a secret. Everyone has known since you met her." Nathan laughed a little more.

"No they haven't!" Jake exclaimed trying to cover for himself.

Nathan started laughing harder as Jake looked aggrivated. "Dude, I'm just glad you finally did something about it. She is my cousin, I want her happy, your a good guy and can make her happy. Just don't hurt her." Nathan said getting serious all of a sudden.

"I wouldn't dream of hurting her, I love her." Jake said with a smile.

Nathan chucked the ball towards Jake as he ducked fast letting it fly by, almost nailing him in the head. "Stop being a girl and lets play! I hear enough about all this 'love' shit from Lucas about Brooke."

Jake laughed as he ran to get the ball before shooting it again. "You are just hostile about it becsue you don't know what love is." Jake laughed again as he went to the middle to start the one on one game with Nathan.

Nathan went to meet Jake in the middle thinking to himself, man if Jake only knew he would kick my ass right now, thinking about his best friends sister.

Peyton walked in the Cafe with smile, as she noticed her best friend cleaning a table. Slowing and quietly walking up behind her, "Hey, B. Davis!"

Brooke jumped and her breath caught Peyton came up behind her. She turned to her best friend with a glare. "That was mean, P. Sawyer! You scared the shit out of me!"

Peyton doubled over in laugher as Brooke jumped and slightly scolded her. As she slowly recovered she looked up at Brooke with a sincere smile, "I'm sorry Brooke, it was just too hard to resist and so funny!" Peyton tried holding in her laughter this time.

Brooke smiled and back and laughed a little with her, "Ok, you got me pretty good. Now go tell tutor girl to get you something to eat before your aunt comes out here and sees I still haven't finished this table."

Peyton nodded and went to a seat at the counter. Waiting for Haley to come out of the back she noticed Lucas walking down the stairs that lead to the roof.

"Hey loser! What are you doing here?" Peyton said with a smile as she looked over at her cousin.

Lucas smiled at her, "Oh Ha Ha, aren't you just a crack up." He said with a chuckle. "I figured I'd help out since it's a Saturday. Why are you here cuz?"

Peyton looked down remembering that the reason why she came in was so she could 'coincidentally' be here when Jake and Nathan showed up for lunch like Jake suggest the night before.

"Oh, just figured I would stop by for some of the best food ever made!" Peyton said looking up to Lucas with a smile, hoping he would take it and move on.

Lucas shrugged and smiled, "Alright then. I gotta go ask my mom something, I'll be back in few."

Just as Lucas left into the kitchen Haley walked out with a plate in one hand and a cup in the other and set it down right in front of Peyton. "Here you go girlie!" Haley said with a smile.

Peyton smiled up at her other best friend, "Thanks Hales! How did you know I was here?"

Haley laughed as she looked over at Brooke and then back to Peyton, I heard you scare Brooke when you came in so I figured I go with the usual and just bring it out to you."

"Well, thank you. This is exactly what I was going to get." Peyton smiled as she took a small peice of chicken off her salad and ate it. She looked up at Haley as she heard the Cafe door open and saw the look of hatred cross threw Haley's eyes. Peyton instantly turned around and saw Rachel walking in.

Haley noticed Rachel walking in like she was the hottest thing on this planet and gave her a dirty look. If looks could kill Rachel would be long gone with the looks Haley was sending her.

Brooke came out of the back and noticed Rachel, "What are you doing here Rach- Ho?" Brooke exclaimed, annoyed that she would come into the Cafe.

Rachel smiled at all three girls with a fake smile trying to piss them off, "Im just seeing if Nathan is here." She said walking up to the counter a few feet away from each girl.

Peyton looked at her like she was stupid. "And why exactly would you come in here looking for him? What you couldn't handel Lucas and Jake rejecting you, you have to get one more hit from Nathan doing it too?" She said with a smile.

Haley and Brooke both smiled at Peytons comment.

"Those two were just boys, Nathan is all man. I would know too, I got to be a part of that first hand last night." Rachel said with a smirk trying to piss them off even more.

Haley's stomach turned to knots hearing Rachel imply the she and Nathan had sex the night before.

None of the girls noticed that Nathan and Jake had walked in right after Rachel and were witnessing everything that was going down.

Nathan cut in before either of the three girls could say anything, "Rachel," Nathan said as she turned to him with her smirk still present on her face. "I have told you already, I will not sleep with you, and don't go around telling my family and friends that I did when I clearly didn't. I told you once and I'll tell you again, my heart is taken, now leave it be and stop telling people we were together." Nathan was clearly aggrivated with her implications.

Rachels face turned red, she so pissed off. All the girls smiled at Nathan as Rachel stormed out of the Cafe pissed, she yelled, "Whatever!"

They all started laughing at Rachels reactions. Haley got the widest smile on her face at first that he didn't actually sleep with her, but it faded once she realized he said that his heart was taken and she didn't like the feeling she had in her stomach that it wasn't her.

Jake patted Nathan on the sholder as Lucas watched everything from the kitchen.

"Whoo hoo! I think we might finally be rid of her!' Lucas yelled excited from the kitchen causing them all to chuckle.

"Nice going man, she totally believed you, when you said someone had your heart!" Jake said as he laughed. "As if that could happen, right Nate?" Jake continued.

Peyton got up and hugged Nathan and Brooke did the same, as Haley just watched from the counter trying not to be obvious that she was disappointed.

"Yeah, right." Nathan said looking down and walking to the counter. Only if they all knew it was true, they all wouldn't even believe it, Nathan thought as he got to the counter and looked up at Haley with a smile as she smiled back. Secretly wishing that she was the one to have his heart.

~Okay so this is only the first chapter, and as you can probably tell I made this two families that all have secret crushes on a certain person in the other family. Lucas and Nathan are brothers and Peyton is their cousin on their moms side so she is still Sawyer as being her dads last name. Haley and Jake are twins in this story and Brooke is their cousin on their moms side so she is still Davis from her dad. Im trying to mix things up and be creative with this story so let me know what you guys think! Feed back (good or bad) is greatly appreciated! I will update soon! Love, Dee!~
