Prologue

Karen Roe sat next to Deb Lee on the front porch of her house as they watched their two sons running around with their friends. Their two sons Lucas Eugene Scott and Nathan Royal Scott were brother's half-brothers to be sure but they were as close as two brothers could be.

Karen had gotten pregnant with Lucas just after her senior year and Dan had abandoned her after telling her to have an abortion, then he went off to school on a basketball scholarship. Karen had turned to Keith Scott Dan's older brother after her strict parent's kicked her out and he'd taken her in and helped her get back on her feet.

Dan had met Deb right into College and she'd gotten pregnant only three months after Karen. Dan had wanted to Marry Deb for her family's money but the day before the proposal Deb had found out about Karen when she found the letter she'd written to Dan talking about ta doctor's appointment she had.

She'd confronted him and his answers had sickened her made her want to fall in in a heap on the floor and crack. She said no to his proposal earning herself banishment from her oh so loving family. Well besides her brother Cooper who had stood by her side the entire time. Deb knew she needed help she also knew she needed to talk to the only person that could understand her predicament so she made her way to Tree Hill North Carolina and found herself 3 months pregnant on Keith Scott's front step face to face with a now six month Pregnant Karen Roe.

The women had talked had cried had bonded together they both found out they were having boys and both Keith and Copper promised to be there for the young boys that were being brought into the world. In the meantime Karen had been saving up money and Copper had helped Deb save some and the two women started to get a business plan together to open a small café in the town.

Karen had given birth to Lucas with Keith Cooper and Deb at her side of course Dan didn't even try and show up. Karen would be surprised if he even knew his son's name. Three months later Deb gave birth to Nathan with Karen Cooper and Keith by her side and once again Dan was a no show.

When the boys were almost a year old Karen's Café was opened and Karen and Deb moved into houses next door to each other. As the years went on the two women grow closer and their sons were true brothers they ran a lucrative business and they never really saw Dan, He ran a dealership in town but never really talked to the women or acknowledged his sons, because Dan wasn't happy they were independent women who didn't need his support they had each other his elder brother and Debs brother's not to mention the best and only good thing Dan Scott ever gave anyone their sons.

Now the boys were Ten and they had three female friends they were always around not to mention a handful of male friends also. There was Brooke Penelope Davis a young girl whose parents would rather be on a different continent then raising their daughter. So they throw money at her and left her with nannies. Deb and Copper knew how this was as that is what her parents did to her. Her and Karen had practically taken in the young girl she was over at their house's or the Café more than she was home. She had met Lucas and Nate one day when she'd fallen off her bike at four in front of Nate's house and they had brought her to Deb.

The next girl was Haley Bob James a young girl who was the youngest of seven children her parents were good people if not a bit flighty. She had become friends with the boys and Brooke at five when they heard her elder brother taunting her and stealing her book. Even at Five Nate and Lucas had been protective and Lucas had made the boy Jason James give the book back well Nathan and Brooke talked to Haley.

The last girl in the group was Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. She was more of a friend of Brooke's that the boys had kind of taken into their group once when they were seven. She was more of a loner then the other children she'd gotten even worse after the death of her mother Anna but even though the children and adults tried to reach out to her she just seemed to draw farther away from the group. Lucas could edge that way but his friends keep him from shutting himself off to much.

The other kids in the group were Marvin Leonardo McFadden, Antwon Charles Taylor Jonathon Moretti and the last boy was Ferguson Thompson. All these boys had met at the river Court were they played basketball if Dan Scott had given his son's anything it had been a love of Basketball. It was like it was in the actual Scott blood.

"Mom we're going to the river court is that Ok?" Lucas asked.

"yeah sure be home by Dinner." She smiled as the kids walked out of the yard "There good kids aren't they Deb?" she turned to her friend.

"Yeah Karen their all good kids and they all feel like they're ours."

"Isn't that true?" Karen laughed. "Expecially Brooke Haley and Peyton."

"Yeah though Peyton I'm not sure about I mean I tried to be there after Anna died but she just shut down."

"I know," Karen sighed hoping they would one day be able to get through to the blond girl.

Meanwhile at the basketball court it was Lucas Antwon and Furgie against John and Nathan Mouth had decied he sucked at basketball and would rather do the commentary. "that's ok," Nate Playfully taunted. "We can still beat you with only two of us."

"In your Dreams Naty." Luke taunted back.

Brooke had grabbed a pair of fake pom-poms and was trying to make up cheers well Haley was buried in her latest book and Peyton was drawing something.

"And their off." Mouth cried into his fake mike as the game went head to head.

"Lets go Luke's team lets go." Brooke cheered waving her pom poms around.

"Hey," Nate called out "Your suppose to be unbiased you can't cheer for just one of the teams." Brooke just stuck her tongue out at him and just keep cheering.

"Well she likes me better and knows I'm the better player." Lucas throw the ball making it through the hoop.

Haley sighed and sat her book down she took one of the pom-poms from Brooke and started to cheer. "Lets go Nate's team lets go." She then through the pom-pom down and went back to her book. "There are you happy Nate.

"Yes thanks Hales." Haley just rolled her eyes.

"Why don't you cheer with me." Brooke went over to Peyton trying to get her friends attention.

"I'm not a cheerleader Brooke." Peyton scowled. Looking at the offending plastic pom-pom in front of her. In the back ground they could hear Marvin's commentary. This was the kids life always together never apart.
