Thanks for the reviews and tips! I'm a newbie to this so bare with me.

Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill or the characters in it because if I did Brooke would have given Peyton the ass whoopin' she so desperately needed and James Lafferty would be in my bed every night.

Chapter 2—An Unpleasant Entanglement

-JULIAN'S POV-

TREE HILL. In North Carolina. Of course the author would still be living there where else would he be. God, why did I agree to option this damn book?

Peyton Sawyer.

There it is that damn little voice in the back of my head. But yes the reason I am now here in the middle of a nowhere town is because of one Peyton Sawyer. You might think I would ask myself why the hell I would follow my ex-girlfriend to her hometown. I'll tell you why…An Unkindness of Ravens….

Lucas Scott the author of one of the most successful books of our time and ex-boyfriend to the one and only Peyton Sawyer. I, Julian Baker, now have the painful task of asking this guy to help turn this book into a movie. Does my life suck or what?

I looked around my hotel room to get my mind on something else. TV? No. Sleep? Not tired. Finally deciding sitting in this room was not appealing I jumped up and quickly changed into my Nike sweat pants, white wife beater, and my running shoes might as well go for a run to check out Tree Hill.

I've been running for the past half hour and so far I only have one thing to describe Tree Hill. Boring.

I have never been in a place where everything is so quiet and so…so…so…SUBURBAN in my life. I feel like I just stepped into Stepford. Creepy.

Running past the local night club Tric and local hangout spot, which was an old basketball court I realize I'm not going to find anything interesting around here so I turned the corner on to the main street. That's when I saw a guy running like a bat out of hell down the street. He was dressed from head-to-toe in black. I looked in the direction he came from and saw a little boutique by the name of Clothes over Bros. That name sounded vaguely familiar. I walked closer to the store in hopes of jogging my memory of where I have heard it that's when I saw her….

A woman sprawled out on the floor, bruised and battered. I ran to her and tried to get some explanation…

"Hello Miss? Are you okay?" She stares at me with the most beautiful hazel eyes I have ever seen in my life. I pull my cell out immediately call 911. I give them our location and hang up. I try again to get a clue as to what's wrong with her…

"I called 911 they are on their way. Can you talk?" No response.

"Ok. My name is Julian Baker and I'm stay with you. Everything is going to be ok?" She says nothing, just closes her eyes and remains motionless. I assume she passed out. I took a look at the rest of her and see that her arms, legs, and face are badly bruised. There is a small pool of blood coming from her head and her dress is torn....Oh God, w-w-was sh-she r-raped?

This woman whoever she is looks stunning even while bruised. As I hear the paramedics descend upon the store the only thing I can think of is whoever did this to her will deeply pay..I will see to it that it happens….
