Authors Note- Okay so here is chapter two. This starts off more focused on Nathan, the future chapters will be less like POV's and more like a general view. But anyway I would LOVE if people would review and let me know what they think! Enjoy!

This is bull shit Tim!
You spend 80 of your life either calling me for some gay ass reason or waiting for me to call you and now, when I actually need to talk to you I can't reach you? What is that man? We have a serious issue Tim. This morning my lovely sister decided to finally show up at home and you'll never believe what she told us. Her stupid dancing, acting, whatever, camp was double booked on the Heartford grounds. And if things STILL aren't clicking for you Tim, that's where WE have basketball camp. That's just great right? I mean now we have to spend the summer with a bunch of loud musicians and weird drama geeks. The dancers could be hot, so that's actually a plus, minus my sister of course. And if you even TRY and touch her Tim... there will be an ass beating. Anyway we're leaving for the camp in like 10 minutes. I just wanted to give you a heads up and blow off some steam. See you there man.
Nathan
"Whatcha doin' big brother? E-mailing your boyfriend and listening to your lover 50 Cent?" A bubbly voice asked in Nathan's ear. With a very annoyed expression on his face he turned to see his younger sister standing with her perfectly manicured feet firmly planted in the soft carpet. I guess younger was a bit of a stretch considering Nathan was only older by 8 minutes. Yes, they were twins.
"Brooke, get the hell out of my room." He said slamming his laptop shut and getting up out of his chair. He brushed past her harshly and made his way across the room.
"Ooh touchy. Aren't you just thrilled that you get to spend the whole summer with yours truly?" Brooke asked him, knowing she was driving him crazy. The two siblings had a very unique relationship. They were frighteningly alike and more often then not, that caused problems. Everyone who knew both Nathan and Brooke knew about their infamous fights. They would yell and scream and throw things at each other. But, at the end of the day they really did love each other. Growing up with parents like Dan and Deb made them extremely close. They were the only ones who could understand what they went through at home. The pressure and the put downs.
"I'm just jumping up and down." Nathan said with as little emotion as possible. Brooke laughed and bounced to Nathan's bed before flopping down and starring up at the many basketball posters adorning his walls.
"You know Brooke, this summer isn't going to be everything you're hoping for. Because, if you think I'm going to let any of the guys hook up with you... you are sadly mistaken little sis." He said completely bursting her bubble.
"What? Nathan David Lee Scott! You can not do that, you aren't my jail keeper. I get to do what I want, when I want." She said in outrage.
"Don't you mean who you want?" He asked as her threw some last minute items into his suitcase.
"If that may be the case then... yes!" She shouted indignantly. Being told no was not something Brooke enjoyed. Normally she would be up for the challenge and not give Nathan's warning a second thought. But Brooke knew that Nathan had full control over the guys at camp. They practically worshiped him.
"Sorry kid, but I can't let that happen. Maybe you screwed whoever your little heart desired while I've been away... but not anymore. Big brothers home." He said shaking his head. The Scott family had moved to Tree Hill when the twins were about 7. They both adjusted nicely and made plenty of friends. In fact, they grew to be the most popular kids in school. The Scott twins, a legacy in the making. But by the 7th grade Nathan was already getting into some serious trouble. Skipping class, drugs, drinking, girls, stealing buses, all before he could even drive! Dan wanted to make sure none of that ruined his basketball chances, so he sent him away to boarding school. While Brooke remained popular in Tree Hill, Nathan created an unbeatable image at St. Richards all boys academy.
"Nathan, you know that you're going to hook up with half the girls that dance there. How is it fair that you'll be living like 50 Cent and I'm going to be a freaking monk?" She said angrily. One thing Nathan and Brooke had in common was their love for the opposite sex. Or maybe just the sex that they had with the opposite sex. Either way they both had a pretty extensive list of hookups.
"Life's not fair. Get over it. You want to be a little whore while I'm away...fine. But I'm not going to let you prance around in front of my face, slutting it up with the whole camp! " He told her not caring that she was mad at him.
"I wish you never came home." She whispered before exiting the room. Yeah, they knew how to hit each other where it hurt. And they never hesitated to do so. Now that Nathan was back, the Scott house hold along with the camp would be seeing a lot of drama. The thing was, Nathan wasn't just back for the summer. Next fall, he was starting at Tree Hill high. After much debate, Dan decided that given the fact that Tree Hill had a better basketball program, Nathan should attend school there. The fact that his bad behavior was no better didn't matter much... everything was about basketball. At boarding school Nathan still managed to skip class, still drank, and still found girls at the school across the lake. He was still Nathan Scott and now... he was back.

Subject: Leaving...
Peyton Sawyer here again, bringing you yet another depressing blog entry. So school let out like 4 days ago or something. I don't know, my summer days are getting mixed up already. But, I'm pretty upset because in the next few days I'm going to have to deal with a lot of goodbyes. Something I've never been too good at. Lucas and the guys are sticking around Tree Hill for the summer which is nice. But Haley is leaving for camp. We haven't really ever been apart for a long time. I know it's beyond stupid for me to be so upset... but I am. I'm going on a trip with my dad for a few months so that'll help. I'll only be stuck with the boys in Tree Hill for maybe a month. Anyway, I have to get going. We're all going to the River Court to say goodbye to her. I know it's just a summer but... it's Haley.
Flashback - 2 Years Ago
"Ready? One, two, three!" The two young girls shouted before dumping the large barrel of water onto the pavement. It was a hot day in July and Peyton and Haley were at the River Court alone. Something that rarely ever happened considering they usually only went to watch the boys play.
"I think we're going to need more." Peyton mused to herself. Becoming friends with Haley had done wonders for Peyton. Even when she was popular she never really got to be herself. She was always brooding and sketching. With Haley and the guys she was able to be that way, but also let lose and be goofy. Peyton was a completely different person when she was with her new friends. They got to see a side of her that most people would never believe existed.
"By the time we go to the river and get more, it'll be all dry. Lets just hurry up and start." Haley said as she knelt down to the pavement and picked up a blue piece of chalk. The young adolescents have found that one of their favorite things to do was write on a wet surface with chalk. The colors were 10 times more vibrant and powerful. Lucas and Skills always made fun of them said that chalk was for little kids. But Peyton was an artist and Haley was... well Haley.
"Karen was granted guardianship." Haley said quietly after a few moments of drawing mindlessly on the court. The boys usually groaned about how the chalk ruined their sneakers, but they really didn't mind all that much.
"Really? That's great! Why didn't you tell me?" Peyton asked her friend in concern, abandoning her beautiful drawing for a moment. The paper work that was needed in order for Karen to get all rights to Haley took a long time to go through. They had been waiting on it and now that it happened Peyton couldn't understand why Haley was so quiet about it.
"I don't know. It only happened a few days ago." She said shrugging. The only people who were aware of the event were Lucas and Karen.
"Days? Haley...DAYS!" Peyton exclaimed feeling a little hurt that she had kept it from her. They may not have know each other long yet, but they were close. They told each other everything, or at least she thought they did.
"Look, I just don't think its a big deal okay. I was living there anyway, it's not like anything is going to change because of it." She said throwing her piece of chalk to the ground and picking up a darker blue.
"Are you serious? I mean this is a huge deal. It means that if your mother decides to come back she can't just swoop in and take you away." Peyton said still confused about her usually perky friends attitude.
"Well she isn't coming back anyway so it doesn't matter!" Haley shouted standing up and stomping away. Peyton quickly got up to follow her down to the edge of the river where she was rinsing the chalk off of her hands.
"Is that what this is about James?" Peyton asked squatting down next to her friend, who merely shrugged in response.
"Do you want your mom to come back?" Peyton tried again to get her friend to talk. Her response was once again a shrug.
"Come on Haley, say something! What's going on in that head of yours?" Peyton asked her carefully. Before she could register what was happening Haley threw her arms around Peyton and began to sob. It took the curly haired blonde a moment to respond given the fact that this was not a common occurrence. Her and Haley weren't really the type of friends who hugged a lot. Even more to the point, Haley hardly ever cried.
"I don't know what's going on! I just, I love Karen and Lucas and I am so happy living with them. I mean I've never been so happy in my whole life. I feel safe and loved. There is dinner every night, I don't worry about being hit, I can fall asleep with out the sound of glasses break, and I just, they're amazing. But, my mom is, she's still my mom you know? I guess I don't really want her to come back. I want, I want her to have never left and I want her to be like Karen. I just want to be okay." She said softly wiping her tears away.
"I know. I mean I get why you're so confused and mixed up. But I think that this thing you have going with Karen and Lucas, it's good for you." She said squeezing her arm lightly. Haley nodded and placed her head on Peyton's shoulder as they looked out onto the river.
"Yeah. Plus I have you. You'll never leave right?" She asked.
"Nah, you'd probably just tag along anyway." Peyton said causing them bother to giggle.
"Well, I'll never leave you either." Haley said knowing that Peyton needed to hear it but would never ask. Because that's what friends do, they listen for the things that aren't said.
End
"Look who it is! Chicken legs is here!" Skills Taylor said in his very unique way. At some time during her little stroll down memory lane, Peyton had ended up at the River Court.
"Hey guys." She said simply looking around at all of her friends and offering a small wave.
"Well, now that everyone is here we have to get this little bon voyage on the road. We have to be at the train station in like 15 minutes." Lucas said checking his watch.
"Alright James, get your mac and cheese lovin' but over here girl." Skills said waving Haley over to him. She shuffled over and when she was close enough lunged into his arms, wrapping her legs around his waste.
"Mwauh!" She said as she grabbed his bald head with both hands and kissed it.
"Damn girl, when's the last time to ate. I feel like I have a 7 year in my arms." He commented before she jumped down and stood directly in front of him.
"Bag of Cheese Its on the way over here." She informed him with a very matter-of-fact tone.
"Alright well, you be good okay. Keep your nose outta' trouble so me and the boys don't have to hall our buts down there and bail you out." He said laughing lightly. As much as he wanted to act like a tough guy, Skills knew the summer wouldn't be the same with out Haley.
"Please, who's the one that saved your ass when your basketball demolished Ms. Peter's favorite china statue?" She said hitting him on the shoulder lightly.
"I could have handled it!" He argued. The others laughed and shook their heads. Skills and Haley had a very playful friendship, but they always had each other's backs.
"Children please!" Junk said in his best stern voice.
"I guess I'll catch you later then Jay." Skills said referring to Haley with his nickname for her and putting his fist out. She rolled her eyes and swatted his hand away before stepping forward and hugging him tightly.
"I'll miss you Skills." She said in his ear.
"Miss you too Haley." He said quietly before letting go. She quickly made her way to Junk, Jimmy, and Fergie, getting a bear hug from all three of them. Then she made her way to Mouth who looked as usual, a little nervous.
"Have a safe trip." He told her leaning in to gently hug her.
"I have a mission for you Mouth, should you choose to accept. And you will of course." She said smiling brightly at him.
"Oh no... this can't be good." He joked pretending to be a little scared.
"Ha Ha, but seriously. I want you to find at least 4 girls through out the summer and take them on dates!" She said to him.
"But..." He tried to protest, like she knew he would.
"No buts, mister. Mouth, you are like the most wonderful guy I know and any girl would be lucky to have you. Hell, if you're not taken by the time I get back then we're going out to dinner." She told him winking. He laughed before agreeing to do what she said. Finally she got to Peyton. Initially Peyton was going to accompany her to the train station with Karen and Lucas. But she decided it would be easier to just say goodbye then and get it over with as fast as possible.
"Your turn Sawyer." She said smiling. Peyton nodded and tried her best not to cry.
"Just, E-mail me a lot okay?" She said sniffling a bit. Haley nodded and pulled the girl in for a hug. It was a quick hug, because Peyton knew if it lasted any longer she would lose it.
"You ready Hales?" Lucas asked her gently.
"As ready as I'll ever be." she said walking towards Lucas and waving to the others.
"Ouch, Haley, must you use such a cliche?" He asked wrapping an arm around her shoulder and leading her to his truck. The two friends laughed as they made their way across the court with shouts and goodbyes coming from the rest of their friends. It was going to be a very interesting summer.
