Summary:

No one cared about them. Except for one couple. They became the family they always wanted, until tragedy broke them. Now they have to live without the people that brought them together. Brooke/Haley/Lucas/Nathan/Peyton friendship. A story about love, family, and friendship.

Character History:

Brooke Davis- Brooke Davis was a huge partier and a big drinker. Her mother got pregnant at 15, and left her to "live" with her grandparents who blame here for her mother having a terrible life. Brooke never goes home and instead takes out her frustration with everyone by drinking. She is often called the bastard child, even by her own grandparents.

Haley James- Haley James has no one. Her father died before she was born and her mother died of cancer when she was only 2. She was then shipped off to an adoptive agency, but even after 14 years there a family has never adopted her. That is really the only thing she wants but knows now that she is labeled an older kid at the agency; her chances are slim to none. What happens when she gets hit by a car and is badly injured?

Lucas Roe- Lucas Roe is a good kid. The only thing that is wrong with him is who his father is. Dan, his father, is an alcoholic who beats him pretty badly on a daily basis. Lucas is always terrified to do anything wrong, but knows that even that won't stop Dan. His mother died during childbirth and now his father blames him and Lucas blames himself for Dan's actions.

Nathan Lee- Nathan Lee is your regular bad boy. He was never like that, though, until his brother, Travis, was shot during a robbery while he was going to get groceries for himself and Nathan. He was on his own after that and labeled an orphan. Vandalizes and steals because he feels that is all that he can do with his life now.

Peyton Sawyer- Peyton Sawyer had only her mom, Ellie. That is until Ellie died of a sickness that she never told Peyton anything about. She's on her own now and all she does is sit at her mother's grave and draws.

Keith and Karen Scott- A young couple that have no children of their own. They are caring and loving people who decide to take in 5 troubled teenagers to save them from their past and become the kids foster parents.

A.N. There's everything! I give all the credit to Ana for her amazing storyline! Please read and review! And watch the great trailer by Ana!!!! Thanks guys!
