A.N. Hey everyone! Woah! Seriously, thanks soo much for all of the AMAZING reviews! You guys are awesome! Like I've said before in all my other stories, reviews definitely help me get motivated to write. So please, keep them coming!

I had a couple questions in the reviews that I would like to answer now, and then I have a few things to clear up!

So first, there was a question about whether or not this was based off Gossip Girl, and no. This is not going to be based off Gossip Girl that was just me signing out!

And also someone asked if Nathan was older then Lucas, which leads me to what I would like to clear up.

- Nathan is older than Lucas in this story.

- Nathan is a senior and varsity captain. He is 17 going on 18. He is pretty much Season 1 Nathan.

- Lucas and Haley are sophomores and are both 16.

- Haley moved away from Tree Hill when she was 7. Nathan was 9. So, she's been gone for 9 years.

I think that's all I need to clear up; if you have any questions just let me know! Thanks everyone and enjoy the chapter!

Summary: Without knowing who the other is, having not seen each other in 8 years, they meet at a party her first night back home. Not realizing that they would be brought together again by her best friend and his little brother. Will they give into each other again? Or keep their distance for the one they care about?

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or anything else that has to do with One Tree Hill. I also do not own any of the songs I use.

Chapter 2 – The Drama Has Arrived, Thee Name is Haley

As Haley walked into her room, she took in her surroundings. This had been her old room as a child, and since she got to Tree Hill, helped unpack a few boxes downstairs, then hung out with Lucas having only been back in the small town for a few hours, she hadn't had the chance to spend a lot of time in her new room, or old room, whatever you wanted to call it.

It amazed her that her parents were able to get their old house back, especially since the house hadn't been up for sale. But her parents were very persuasive people, and the former owners gave up their house to the James Family. Haley couldn't be more thrilled, she probably wouldn't have wanted to come back if they would have ended up living somewhere else in Tree Hill. Even though she had been 7 years old when they had moved, she still had so many memories in this house, she couldn't even imagine having to watch a new family living in their house and making new memories.

Haley looked around and sighed. She realized that pretty much all of her belongings had been already emptied from the big brown taped up boxes she had left yesterday afternoon before going out with Lucas and Brooke for the night, and that she had nothing to put away since obviously her parents had already taken care of fixing up her room for her.

She walked over to the end of her bed, and flopped down on top of the mattress clad in her favorite lime green cotton sheets and comfy white comforter. She would be lying if she said she wasn't tired. She hadn't gotten much sleep the night before they arrived in Tree Hill and she had definitely not caught up on the sleep she had lost yesterday.

Thinking back to yesterday night she thought about the boy she had left that morning. She hadn't meant to just leave like that, but she wasn't naïve, she knew that it wasn't anything more then a night of passion with a complete and total stranger who she would most likely never see again. It was simply a one night stand, and Haley was fine with that.

Getting up and walking into her bathroom, which was attached to her room, she reached into the shower and turned the water on. She figured she would take a shower and then head over to Lucas's house since she had promised she would meet him later.

Stepping into the shower, Haley let the warm water run down her body. She began to think about school since she would be starting in a week or so, as soon as Tree Hill High got back from their mid-semester break. She felt kind of weird starting there in the middle of the semester and even though she already knew a few people who went there, she knew she would still have to adjust. Thinking about this, she started to think about her old school. She loved her old school, and her old town. Why wouldn't she? She was popular and a cheerleader and at the top of her class. But Haley realized at that moment that she had never gotten that feeling in Honey Grove, her old town, the feeling of being home and she knew for a fact that she felt it the second they entered Tree Hill. She knew she was home.

Turning off the water, she stepped out of the shower and grabbed her towel, wrapping it around her tiny figure. Walking back into her room, she fixed her hair, leaving it down and wavy. After she quickly got dressed into her ripped light jeans and turquoise laced bottom tank. She walked over to her walk in closet and found her turquoise sandals and slipped them on, then found her turquoise and grey striped rugby zip hooded sweatshirt. Making sure she had everything, she made her way downstairs then out the door and off to the Scott household.

Nathan walked through his house clad in only basketball shorts and a tee shirt, until he ended up in his living room, where his brother so happened to be hanging out in. Walking towards him, he sat on the comfortable leather chair that sat beside the leather couch his brother was laying down on. "So, little brother, how'd your night go?" He questioned, raising his eyebrow at his brother.

Lucas sat up, putting down the book he was reading on the coffee table and replied. "Uh… good I guess? Why?"

Nathan chuckled at his seat. "I saw you at the party, man. Such a good friend to that Hannah girl you were supposed to be hanging out with yesterday night."

Lucas groaned in a reply, as he scratched the back of his neck. "Dude, first off, her name is Haley. I don't know how many times I have to tell you that, but her name is Haley." Nathan just shrugged at his brother in innocence. He wasn't good at names, so what? Girls normally forgave him for that small negative characteristic. "And second, you know how persuasive Brooke can get…"

When Lucas saw his brother begin to nod in agreement with a big grin on his face, he couldn't help but immediately become jealous. So, he grabbed onto the closest pillow and threw it at Nathan, in which Nathan caught it with ease, and laughed hysterically at his jealousy.

"Luke, you know me and Brooke have never been like that." He then took the pillow and threw it at his brother's head.

"Anyways," Lucas began to change the subject of his brother and his girlfriend, to something less irritating. "I didn't completely ditch her, I brought her to the party, and I just ended up leaving her there."

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say your beginning to learn from my ways." Nathan accused as he got up from the chair and began to walk towards the foyer.

Lucas scoffed, getting his older brother to turn around from his place behind the couch. "I will never be as low as you, Nate."

Nathan smirked. "We'll see. You're on the varsity team now, Lucas. Sooner or later, you're going to realize that you can't be the good guy all the time." Turning around and walking away he left his brother in his thoughts.

Hearing a small knock on the door when he walked passed it, he turned towards it. He slowly turned the knob, pulling the door towards him to open it.

"Get out of my way, Boy Toy. I need to get to my Broody."

Nathan groaned as his brother's girlfriend, and to be completely honest one of his best friends, push passed him and walked into the living room. "Don't you think you've had enough of him and maybe need some of the older Scott to fulfill your needs?" He asked following her into the room.

"Ptsh. You wish N. Scott." Brooke replied, walking over to a now smiling Lucas, and sitting down on his lap, kissing him quickly. "I've got my eyes on only one Scott."

"And who might that be Cheery?" Lucas questioned his girlfriend playfully, as he rubbed his nose against hers, and then kissed her forehead.

"You know who that is, Broody." She responded giggling, as she went in for another kiss, this time longer and more passionate.

Nathan looked on in disgust. They always did that in front of him, acted like such a couple, but just because he saw it all the time it didn't mean it got any less nauseating. They were so in love. Nathan shuttered at that, turning again to leave the two to each other.

Another knock on the door sounded as he walked passed it, and as he heard his brother shout from the other room about it being Haley, he smirked and walked to the door to get it. He had no idea who this girl was, but he knew that his brother didn't want him touching her. Turning the door knob and pushing it open, his smirk fell from his face as he saw the person in front of him, the girl from last night.

Haley looked at him, as the smile that was planted on her face turned to a serious expression, as she saw the guy she was with last night, the guy she had left that very morning. This couldn't be good.

"Hey Hales!" Lucas greeted walking in from the living room with Brooke on his tail. "Nathan, don't just stand there let my best friend in." He joked as he walked in front of his brother, and pushed him aside escorting Haley into the house.

As the four teenagers stood in the middle of the hall in silence, Lucas decided to introduce everyone. "Well, Haley, you already know Brooke." He stated going to stand next to Brooke, putting his arm around her.

Haley nodded, not really paying attention to her best friend's girlfriend as she greeted her. She was nervously awaiting Lucas' introduction of the dark haired boy that stood in front of her. It couldn't be his brother. It just can't be his brother.

"And this is my idiot of an older brother, Nathan." Lucas introduced to her, turning to his brother who was staring off into space.

Before either could say anything, Brooke interrupted, closing her cell phone, which she was holding open, then walking to the door. "Shoot! Luke, Peyton's stuck and she needs us to take your uncle's truck and pick her up."

Lucas sighed as he watched his girlfriend leave in a hurry without his response and turned to his friend. "I'm sorry Haley, but I got to go get her car, I'm the one with the truck today."

Haley turned to him and gave him a weak smile. "It's okay Luke. Don't worry about it."

"No it's not. You've only been here for two days, and I've already ditched you twice. Let me make it up to you. I'll go get the car and once I'm done with that, I'll come right back here and the rest of the night is yours, I promise."

Haley looked at him hesitantly. It wasn't that she didn't want to hang out with Lucas; she just didn't want to be left alone with his brother during the time he wouldn't be there. But seeing how much Lucas wanted her to stay, she accepted his offer. Hugging her quickly, he grabbed his coat and his keys, and left only saying he would be back later.

Haley watched as her best friend walked out the door and closed it behind him. She would be lying if she said she wasn't mad at him, but she knew that he had a life of his own and the fact that she kind of came back and disrupted it, well they would have to make some adjustments.

Turning around she came face to face with Nathan. She had actually almost forgotten that he was standing there, but unfortunately she was met with reality and he was still standing there in the foyer of his house.

"So, you're the brother." Haley stated.

"And you're the best friend." Nathan replied, walking up to stand directly in front of her and dangerously close. As if there was some magnetic force pulling the two together, both reached out and crashed their lips together. Lifting Haley up off the ground, he carried her into the living room, laid her on the couch, never breaking apart and kissing more aggressively.

Pulling away from him, Haley caught her breath and pushed him away. "Nathan, no! We can't do this."

"What? Why not?" Nathan questioned, looking down at her in disbelief.

"Because… because…" Haley tried to respond. "Because you're a senior, and I'm a sophomore and I just moved here. And, and you're my best friend's brother…" Haley trailed off as she felt Nathan leaving hot kisses on her neck. "And…" Haley moaned. "Oh fuck it!"

Haley possessively took hold of Nathan's head and pulled him to her lips. But as soon as he responded to the kiss, she pulled away from him. "But, this is strictly sex. No strings attached sex." Nathan smirked. "And no one knows about this."

Nathan nodded. "No problem here." It wasn't like he's never done this before, and he was definitely not looking for a relationship with anyone. This was going to be his getaway, his escape. Deep down though, he knew it was wrong. This was his brother's best friend, who he told Nathan not to touch and already he was making her his sex buddy. But he couldn't stop it.

He quickly pulled her back to him in a kiss, unzipping her sweatshirt. "Now, Lucas won't be back for at least in hour." Haley nodded, as she let her own hands travel down to the hem of his shirt, lifting it up slowly. "Why don't we make the best of that time?" Haley nodded and gulped as he she felt his hands undo her bra, moving them to the front to start massaging her hard nipples.

She just got here yesterday and already she found herself in a secret benefits relationship with her best friend's older brother. She knew this was trouble and she knew she would probably regret this. But, the way he was touching her now, she knew neither of them could stop it.

The drama has arrived, thee name is Haley.

Hope you guys enjoyed it! I know Haley is kind of out of character and would probably normally not do this, but then again she did kind of betray Lucas in season 1, but whatever. haha. This is an AU so there will be some changes to characters!

Please let me know what you think! I'm going to try and update as much as possible, but I love them reviews so keep em' coming! Thanks!
