I'll be seeing you.
Chapter two.
Four years previous.
The meeting.
The Scott's were just visiting family in Tree Hill, North Carolina for the summer before heading back to their lives away from Tree Hill. They were a rich family, the sisters were the daughters of Dan Scott a plantation owner who had plantations all over the southern states of America, he was very well off. Haley, Brooke and Peyton lived privileged lives and were able to have anything they wanted with in reason, their father spoiled them frequently.
Jake the eldest and only boy, Haley and Brooke were the middle girls and were twins, and Peyton the youngest child - they were a happy family in part. Haley was going to Sarah Lawrence after the summer to study history and music while Brooke planned on marrying her long term boyfriend Tim Smith, son of a wealthy business acquaintance of Dan Scott's. Jake and joined the army that year after graduating High school to the dismay of his father who had hoped he would join him in the family business. Peyton still had one year of High school left, but like Haley hoped to attend Sarah Lawrence and study art and literature. Deborah Scott wife of Dan was a beautiful woman who couldn't be more of the perfect wife always at her husbands side to entertain friends by throwing lavish dinner parties and lunches. To outsiders the Scott's were very close to perfection.
"I love the carnival… the smell of the hot dogs and candy floss, the screams of the children on fast rides, the atmosphere of the place." Haley gushed as herself and her sisters wondered through the visiting carnival.
"I find it rather dull, the only thing I like are the local boys." Brooke said with a grin that spelled trouble for the boys of Tree Hill.
Peyton the quiet one of the three smiled, "You are a horn dog."
"Maybe I am, but were on vacation why not have a summer romance." Brooke said.
Haley watched as children ran past them excitedly, "Want to go on the Ferris wheel?"
"Okay, one of us will be left out though…" Peyton said seeing the two seat carts of the wheel.
Brooke smiled again, "Not necessarily.." she began to walk towards a group of three boys standing near the punch machine.
"Good evening!" The blond boy said spotting Brooke first.
Brooke flashed him her perfect smiled, "Hello I'm Brooke Scott these are my sisters Haley and Peyton." she explained pointing to her sisters the stood beside her now.
The blond boy looked at Haley and Peyton with a grin not unlike Brooke's, "Nice to meet you. These are my brothers, Sam and Nathan."
"Hi.." The tall dark haired boys behind Lucas said in unison.
"So would you three like to join us of the Ferris wheel so we all have someone to sit with?" Brooke asked sweetly as if she's never done anything bad in her life.
"Certainly Ma'am." Lucas said putting his arm out for Brooke to take which she did.
Nathan stepped up next and gave Haley a beautiful smile, "Care to join me then?" he asked.
Haley heisted for a moment but gave him a nod, "Sure." she followed him to the ride.
"I guess that leaves us huh?" Sam said sheepishly.
Peyton picked up the nervousness in his tone of voice and gave him a reassuring smile, "Yeah come on lets go." she said happily.
Haley sat as far away from Nathan as she possibly could as they rode the Ferris wheel, she could hear Brooke behind her laughing loudly with her new friend Lucas. Brooke was always the first to talk to guys they met, she had confidence that oozed out of her.
"I haven't seen you around Tree Hill before are you new?" Nathan asked making conversation.
Haley nodded, "Were visiting for the summer. You Know Keith Scott? That's my uncle."
"Wow, yeah I know Keith he watches baseball games now and again." Nathan replied, surprised he was sitting with a girl of such wealth.
Haley gulped as the wheel stopped at the very top to let another couple on, "I hate heights."
"It's amazing up here, you can see everything." Nathan commented looked down at the pretty lights below.
Haley tried not looking down, "I guess. Just try not to shake us to much."
Nathan laughed and looked back at Lucas, "You okay?" he yelled to his brother.
"Were just fine!" Lucas yelled back with a smile and a wink which told Nathan everything he needed to know.
Haley got braver and turned to look at Brooke who had snuggled up to Lucas and had her hand on his leg, "Brooke!" she yelled as the ride started up making Haley sit straight.
"You're sister is quite a girl." Nathan commented with a smirk.
"Seems like they have hit it off." Haley said, she decided not to mention Brooke was engaged as Brooke hadn't found it necessary.
"Got a boyfriend?" Nathan asked suddenly.
Haley shifted in her seat uncomfortably, "No I don't have time for boys right now."
"Why not?" Nathan asked puzzled.
"I am going to New York in the fall to college, no point making relationships until after school." Haley informed Nathan.
"I see, maybe you should just have a little fun this summer forget school." Nathan suggested.
Haley raised her eyebrows, "You sound like my sister."
"So Brooke Scott you look like a heart-breaker." Lucas said staring at Brooke with an arm wrapped around her shoulder.
Brooke leaned into him, "Maybe I am… don't you just want to find out!"
Lucas smiled, "Oh yeah I really do."
Brooke smirked then kissed Lucas on the lips for a moment before pulling away, "That's just for starters." she whispered.
Lucas chuckled, "You are a girl after my own heart. Just remember sweetheart takes a lot for me to want to marry a girl. So many girls out there, only one me."
Brooke scoffed, "Don't worry I am not like most girls. I won't want to marry you."
"Good sounds like we are after the same things!" Lucas said leaning in for another kiss.
"Just remember I am the best you will ever get." Brooke told him before letting him kiss her again.
"I'll be a senior next year, I might quit school get a job at the lumber yard with my father. Start contributing to the income of the house you know, Our Mom died when we were young so just us four boys and Dad." Sam told Peyton openly.
Peyton was shocked he was so chatty and open but didn't mind, "I'm sorry to hear that."
"It's okay." Sam replied assuring Peyton.
"Four? Have you another sibling?" Peyton asked confused as she hadn't seen another brother.
Sam nodded, "Yeah my oldest brother Dean. He said he grew out of the carnival he's probably at a bar with our dad. You should come back to our place later, Dad and some guys that work with him are cooking some food on the fire and they will start playing guitars and everyone will have a dance out the back of our house. It's really fun." Sam said excitedly.
Peyton shrugged, "I will have to see what my sisters say but I'm sure it will be fine."
Sam gave her a nod, "Great…You can get to know some of us townsfolk."
Peyton laughed at his eagerness to entertain, "Sounds good Haley can play the piano and sing beautifully. Brooke can dance…"
"What can you do?" Sam asked with a smile.
Peyton shrugged, "I can talk to you." she said not knowing what her talents would bring to a party, she could draw but what good was that.
"I never usually can talk to girls like this, it's great. Dean, Lucas and Nathan always have a way with the woman." Sam explained.
"Really, well I think I got the best partner to ride the Ferris wheel with." Peyton said, she knew Sam would never be a romantic interest to her, but she knew he was going to be her best friend.
Lucas was piggybacking Brooke down the dirt track that lead to the old white house that the Winchester boys lived in. It was old and falling apart but it was beautiful in it's own way. Peyton and Sam chatted happily as they walked just behind Brooke and Lucas, while Nathan and Haley walked quietly at the back exchanging the occasional glance.
"Here we are ladies, the Winchester palace." Lucas said reaching the front porch and putting Brooke down steadily.
"It's quaint." Brooke said obviously not feeling the décor as they moved around towards the back porch where they was an array of people.
The smell of fish and chicken cooking on the open fire hit the girls noses, it smelled good. The girls had never socially spoken or spent time with black people and was a bit of a culture shock as most of the people in the back yard were of a different race. They were not prejudiced or racist at all, they were just experience something they never had.
"Dad I brought some friends… is that okay?" Lucas asked upon reaching a tall dark broad man who was playing guitar with another man.
"Of course, welcome ladies. I'm John." John said getting up from where he sat on the porch steps, he put down his guitar and wiped his hands on his jeans.
"I can see where the boys get their good looks." Brooke said holding out her hand flirting.
John smiled, "Thank you." he replied shaking her hand gently, "Nice to meet you." he added nodding at Haley and Peyton.
"Thanks for having us." Haley said politely.
"Go eat, get something to drink it goes fast." John said sitting back down.
Lucas lead the girls into the kitchen and handed then all a bottle of beer.
"Oh no thanks!" Haley said trying to hand the bottle back to Lucas who ignored her.
"Come on Haley one bottle won't hurt." Brooke insisted cracking hers open as if she were male.
Peyton smiled and opened hers she's never tired beer before, "One won't hurt." she added.
Haley rolled her eyes and took her beer and headed out the kitchen to the back yard to find a peaceful spot to relax preferably alone.
Haley sat thinking about how she must seem like such a bore to people that met the Scott sisters. Brooke ready to do anything and everything, Peyton humours and out going while she always the cautious one thinking with her head rather that her heart. She found a spot on a porch swing around the front of the house it was quiet, just the sound of chatter and guitars came from the back but it was quiet enough. Haley straightened her yellow summer dress and with one hand made sure her shoulder length brown hair was still slipped nicely to one side. The she opened the bottle and took a sip, she also had never tasted beer - It wasn't as bad as she thought, but preferred wine. Her mother had let them have a glass during dinner parties of holidays.
"Look at this wonder in front of me… who are you?" a deep male voice asked appearing from no where it seemed.
Haley looked at the man boy in front of her, he was handsome - very handsome. He had messy brown hair and the most beautiful eyes she's ever seen, "Who are you?" she questioned back.
"I am Dean Winchester I live here and you are?"
Haley quickly got to her feet, "Haley Scott. I am visiting Tree Hill for the summer, my sisters and I were invited here by you're brothers." she explained.
Dean looked her up and down a few times, "Nice to meet you pretty girl."
Haley blushed slightly, "Here you can have this beer if you want." she held out the bottle.
"No you drink it, you look like you need to loosen up a little." Dean chuckled as he walked off towards the back yard.
Haley scowled, "Excuse me what do you mean by that?" she asked.
"That you seem a little up tight, or is it just an act. I have heard about you city girls." Dean replied with a grin on his face which Haley couldn't see as she followed behind.
"I am sorry but who are you to judge me you don't even know me." Haley said angrily.
"I am Dean Winchester and you are Haley Scott we met already, and come on tell me have you ever kissed a guy before?" Dean asked turning sharply so the pair were facing each other.
Haley was a lot shorter than Dean and had to tilt her head to look up at him, "That is none of you're business thank you very much." she hissed.
Dean smirked, "That's a no then."
"I have actually, not that a lady should talk about such things!" Haley confessed, she didn't realise her body was leaning closer into Dean and neither did he.
"So you are a lady huh? I like ladies give me a kiss short stuff!" Dean replied.
Haley could feel the warmth of his breath on her face and smell liquor and cigarettes, there was something mysterious about Dean Winchester. Before she had time to reply Dean leaned down and kissed her quickly shoving his tongue in her mouth.
"Oh get off you animal!" Haley yelled slapping Dean's face, "Ugh!" she yelled walking around the corner of the house and finding familiar and unfamiliar faces staring back at her.
"Haley are you okay?" Peyton asked upon seeing Haley looking rather flustered.
Dean followed holding his jaw with one hand, "She slapped me can you believe that?" he asked.
"This animal took advantage of me! Kissed me without permission!" Haley said flustered pulling her dress right on her shoulders.
Dean grabbed another beer and sat on a chair next to his father, "Rawr I'm a tiger!" he mocked.
"Dean apologize to the young lady." John said with a smile which he was trying to hide.
Dean shook his head, "She wanted it she was all over me like a rash." he lied.
"You repulse me, were going home where is Brooke?" Haley asked looking around for her twin who was no where to be seen.
Peyton raised her eyebrows, "She's with Lucas somewhere."
Haley knew what Brooke was doing, "Oh god. I am going home are you coming?"
Peyton didn't want to leave but grabbed her purse, "Thanks for having us over. We had a lovely time." she said nodding at John, Sam and Nathan.
"Okay I'm sorry let me walk you girls home!" Dean insisted.
Haley scoffed, "I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than have to spend anymore time in you're company!"
John Winchester laughed, "She's a wild one I see. Nathan and Sam walk the girls home it's late." he told his sons who happily agreed.
"Thank you. Sorry, can you make sure Brooke gets home okay?" Haley asked with pleading eyes.
"Yes I will make sure she is okay. Take care girls." John said before turning to his friend.
Dean winked at Haley, "See you soon you little pistol."
