Thank you to all those who did review!

here's chapter 2.

Haley tossed and turned in her bed. She couldn't do it. She just couldn't sleep. Counting sheep was a lie. A big fat no good lie. She was on sheep 162 and still wide awake. "Urghhh!" She groaned and sat up. It wasn't the bed , oh no the bed was great! Big and comfy and soft. She didn't know what it was. A lazy hand came up to cover her face. Her body stayed still for a moment before a loud crash from downstairs caused her to jump. Her ears perked up at the sound of more noises. Gathering as much of her courage as she could , she nervously tossed the blanket off of her and walked over to the door. She pressed her ear against the door , trying to listen for more sounds. Silently praying that she was just hearing things. Biting her lip , Haley's eyes landed on the baseball bat poking out from the metal bucket next to the door. It was like god , in the form of her best friend , had placed it there just for the night. Just for this very situation. She grabbed it not a second to soon and willed herself to open the door. Walking down the pitch black hallway , Haley felt her heart pounding in her chest. Her trembling fingers tightened around the bat as she made her way down the stairs , occasionally trying not to trip. She was about to round the corner when her body froze in fear. Running water. Shuffling of feet across the kitchen floor. This was not how she pictured her first night back in tree hill.

"Lu...Luke? Is..is that you?" She asked when she founD her voice. It came out more like a whimper instead.

"Lucaaaas?" She pleaded quietly. No answer. Well of course there was no answer , she wasn't sure if even she could her own self. That's when she heard foot steps getting louder. Suck it up James , she told herself. Taking a step forward , Haley shut her eyes and swung the bat when she was sure that intruder was right by the very wall that she was hiding behind. Sure enough , the head of the wooden instrument collided with what she assumed was the back of his . A loud groan cut through the silence and Haley felt the bat being snatched from her grip and a large hand closing over her wrist rather tightly. She let out a scream when her back was pulled against a muscled chest. Her poor attempts of getting out of his grasp only led to his arms tightening around her waist , trapping her body firmly. All Haley could do was scream. She let out a loud cry, blocking out everything her attacker was trying to say.

"Shhhh" She heard a husky voice. Like hell she would shh. She only screamed more , her tiny voice hitting decibels that she never knew she could reach. Her feet lifted off the ground kicking into the empty darkness causing the masculine body which embraced her to lose balance and fall back. Their bodies landed on the floor with a thud. Haley didn't waste a second before crawling off from on top of him but she didn't last a second either before a hand grabbed her calf and dragged her back. Next thing she knew , her hands were pinned over her head and knees on either of her hips kept her from smaller body still writhed under the larger one.

"Get off of me!" She shrieked.

"Look just-"

"LUCAS EUGENE SCOTT!"

Haley's eyes shot open when she heard the flip of a switch and found a pair of captivating electric blue ones staring back at her. She opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by the voice of her best friend.

"What the hell is going on here?" Both heads turned to the lanky blonde with ruffled hair who was rubbing his eyes.

"Nathan? Haley?" He squinted at the sight in front him.

"You know him?!" Haley said , shock evident on her face.

"You know her?!" Nathan asked , in a tone that matched Haley's.

"Yo Luke , ain't no one gonna let no dawg get some sleep in this house" Antwon 'Skills' Taylor came up behind Lucas,in nothing but a pair of cheetah print boxers. His eyes widened at the two bodies on the floor and let out a low chuckle.

"We all like it rough , don't we Nate?" He smirked.

"Oh yeah , and a baseball bat is exactly what does it for me." He hissed at the petite girl under him , to which she glared in response. Nathan Scott suddenly became aware of the position they were in. Her heaving chest brought her breasts dangerously close to his face every time it rose up. They were so close , he could smell her. Vanilla , strawberries . whatever it was , he liked it. Nathan finally looked up to meet her eyes and immediately wished he hadn't. They were these big pools of brown , so deep and intense , he didn't know how to look away.

"Okay , um. How about we just pretend this never happened?" Lucas spoke up , walking over to them.

"I don't think the throbbing at that the back of my head is gonna let me." Nathan said. He rolled onto his back and landed on the floor next to Haley. She bit her lip as she sat up straight and looked over at him. She wanted to apologise , but she didn't know what to say. She really was only defending her dear life.

"You alright?" Lucas asked , holding out a hand to her. Haley cleared her throat and muttered a 'yes' before grabbing his hand and lifting herself up.

"Of course she's alright , she's not the one who got hit by a baseball bat." Nathan said , sitting up.

"Im …so sorry , about that. I just , I was only trying to defend myself , I promise, for all i know , you could've been like an axe murderer , or a thief or—"

"Luke's half brother." Skills cut her off.

"Yes! No , wait ..what?" She turned to look at Lucas.

"Hales , this is Nathan. Another one of Dan Scott's famous works." He told her. Haley looked back at Nathan , who was now standing his full height and towered a good couple of inches over her.

"I'd say nice to meet you but it really wasn't that nice." He smirked. Haley scoffed and opened her mouth to speak but Lucas beat her to it.

"Nathan and the guys crash here sometimes." He paused momentarily. "Okay , a lot of times. That's Skills." He said. Skills nodded toward her and flashed her grin to which she smiled back , trying not stare at his animal print boxers.

"Ok um ,now that everyone's introduced, I guess , we should get back to sleep." Haley suggested while walking over to the staircase.

"Hey." Nathan called out. She whipped around and saw him throw the baseball bat to her.

"Incase you had more heads to whack." He said as she not-so-swiftly caught it. She rolled her eyes and headed up rather quickly. And Nathan couldn't help but notice the naturally perfect sway of hips.

"Be nice Nate. She doesn't put up with crap , I'm telling you." Lucas warned.

"Whatever you say , Eugene." Nathan said , a side of his mouth curling upward.

"That's pretty classic dawg." Skills laughed.

"Yeah yeah , laugh it up." Lucas said , walking out of the kitchen.

Well there it is. It's kinda a slow story. More about all the characters shall be revealed.

please read and review =D
