A/N: OMG thanks to everyone who reviewed my story, and yes it's my first but I have read practically every story that has to do with my favorite, NALEY. But I am also a fan of Brucas but I prefer Naley. And in this chapter I'm going to give all the background info than I can think of! Sorry some of you were confused but here is to clear things up. Haley's parents were very wealthy, Jimmy owed a diamond mining business and Lydia ran the 'James Jewelry Store' and they passed away 4 years ago after Haley moved to NY with Brooke. And I think I will put the rest of the info below this so yea.

Haley is the youngest of four. Her oldest sister Cassie is married to Chris and they have two daughters named Jade, 4, and Camryn, 2. They live in Tree Hill and Cassie and Chris have taken over the business since her parents death. And no this is not the past Haley is running from just a hint. Her 2nd oldest is her brother Paul and he is married to Bridget and they have two children a boy named Bryce, 3, and Kelly,1. And of course the one right above Haley is none other than Taylor James and she has recently gotten her self into the 'one-night-stand' scene. Haley works at NYC Private High School and gives music lessons to some students who asked for help because they knew Haley had a wonderful voice. And because of her parents death that is how she bought her lavish penthouse apt. She is still the Haley we know and love but in my story she gets more confidence, but not over confident. She is not like any of the 'Sex and the City' girls, although she does want to settle down, but she's not desperate. If you need more info let me know!

The Scott's were born and raised in NY. Their mother is Deb and of course theirs Dan who died in a car accident when Nathan was 12. Nathan was very depressed and vulnerable at that time in his life, and that was his turning pint. Nathan used to be a loving, friendly, well Lucas would be a better word but he was really close to his father and he changed, for the worse. He liked his mom, but she wasn't what he needed to get him through life. His grades started to slip, and he became the cocky, arrogant, jerk he is today. But someone might be able to change him……..

A/N: ok sorry to make it so short but I'm going to write another chapter after I post this and then we will get back to the story so leave comments is the is not enough background info, if so then I'll work more in! and another thing i think some of you got confused about Haley and Mackenzie are roomates and Brooke and Lucas live like across the hall or really close is what i mean.
