Sparks Fly Chapter 10, an one tree hill fanfic

As I sit at my compute, just home from winter formal, now in sweats a t-shirt (which is inside out !oops!) make up gone, hair in bun and half my eye shadow under my eyes making me look like a raccoon, (you know what I mean!) My feet killing me and my voice crackly, I have decided to give you a chapter about

Homecoming! If you want to see the dresses the girls wear please look at my profile, I have the links for what I imagined.

Oh and for future reverence I am calling Brooke and Jake, Brake! (Either that or, Jooke, nahh) Anyone have a better name?

Read and Review

Enjoy!

"I have a very very important question for you Haley James" Nathan said looking at me as Sophia, him, and myself were at the beach taking a walk. I placed Sophia on the ground to crawl around he grabbed my hands. "Oh yeah Nathan Scott?" I questioned. "Yeah, Haley would you go to homecoming with me?" He asked me. I assumed we were already going together since we were dating, I guess we definitely are now. "I will have to think about it" I joked acting like I was pondering it. "Okay I thought about it and I would love to go with you."

"Did you think that was funny?" he questioned beginning to tickle me "Did you?" "Yes…" I stuttered out as we fell over he was on top of me tickling me as Sophia crawled over and sat down next to me, looking at Nathan. "What about you Soph, you think your Mama's funny?" He reached his one arm out and tickled her stomach lightly as she giggle and tried to squirm away from him. He stopped tickling me after I begged him to stop. He then picked up Sophia "We don't think it was funny Miss James, nope not one bit, right Sophie?" He said jokingly "Sorry" I said as he leaned in to kiss me which soon became a small make-out session.

Someone walked by "Get a room, this is a public beach not your house. Although it looks like you already know that" then man said nodding towards Sophia. Nathan stood up, handing me Sophia "Hey you better watch your mouth" Nathan started approaching the man. I stood up not wanting Nathan to get into a fight with the man "Hubby let's just go"

"Husband? You are married, how old are you?" "We are 22 and we don't have anything to prove to you, we love each other that's all that matters" Nathan said as we began to walk away. "So wifey huh?" Nathan questioned when we were far enough away for him to not hear. "Well if not we would have gotten ridiculed." "Good cover up baby" Nathan told me as we walked hand in hand up the stairs leading to Nathan's beach house.

We got warmed up and then left before anyone in his family showed up. Nathan dropped me and Sophia off because I was going dress shopping with Brooke and Peyton. All three of us successfully found a dress that described us, along with our shoes and jewelry. Now we were back at the house relaxing on the couch watching tv.

Getting ready for the formal was fun for the three of us, my hair was straightened, Brooke's was lightly curled at the tips, and Peyton's was curled completely. My dress was a light pink/ salmon color. It was one shouldered and it had two roses on the shoulder strap. It had roushing at the chest then flowed down reaching my knee. My shoes were strappy silver sandals with a small heel.

Brooke's was a navy blue dress with a silver chain necklace that attached as the strap, it reached just to her knee. Her shoes were grey pep toe pumps with a black edging and a black bow in the front.

Peyton's dress was a red one shoulder that had a band under the chest and then flowed out reaching right above her knee. Her shoes were silver rhinestone platforms with beading embellishments.

My make up was light and natural, while Brooke's was bright and vibrant, and Peyton's was darker and edgier. Each of us girls had silver jewelry. We all looked stunning. The guys were picking us at my house at 7:00 and it was just reaching 6:30 now. We had shipped out Jake to Lucas' where all of the boys would get ready and then they would come over to take pictures, for all the parents, Karen, Keith, Deb, Dan, Larry, Jimmy, and Lydia. Then they would be off to homecoming in the limo Brooke ordered.

All six of us had been nominated with a few others for Homecoming Court. We all talked about it and whoever won deserved it and there would be no harsh feelings no matter who won. We also set a rule that we could not vote for ourselves to gain votes. We thought it had happened because everyone in the school new us, we were all cheerleaders and basketball players, Brooke was student council president, Jake was in a band that played at all the pep rally's, Lucas and Nathan ruled the school, Peyton was famous for organizing benefit concerts and her podcasts, and I would most likely be valedictorian and after my reveal of Sophia, I was bound to get noticed.

Lydia walked in with Sophia "Oh my you ladies look beautiful." "Thank you Mom" I said walking over to give her a hug and kiss the top of Sophia's head. As we put the final touches on their was a knock at the door. My parents went down to get it as they let everyone in. The three of us walked down the stairs and all of the guys stood speechless. The guys told us how beautiful we looked before starting photos. We posed first me and Jake, then we added Brooke, then Lucas, then all six of us, then all the girls, then one of the guys, then we got singles and after mine were taken I grabbed Sophia out of her swing and posed with her. In one I was holding her above me as I kissed her. Then we got a picture of each one with their parents, Brooke hopped in ours because she was my sister, not by blood but who cares. After we got couples, Nathan and I posed smiling then when we were kissing after he told me to grab Sophia, so I did and we posed with her. Honestly we looked like a family but I wouldn't dare say it. I could sense that Dan was staring at me in an odd way but I wasn't going to let him ruin my night so I let it go. After Jake kicked Nathan out of the picture so he could get one with his sister and niece. Then my parents hopped in it too.

Once we had gotten all the poses possible taken I asked Nathan "You want to come with me to put Sophia to sleep?" "Sure" As we walked up the stairs I said "This should be easy since she is already asleep" I said motioning towards my arms where she was out cold. I laid her in her crib. "Goodnight princess Sophie." I had kissed her head before putting her in there. I stepped back looking at her for a moment. Then Nathan leaned in whispered something and kissed her forehead. This touched my heart, it gave me the chills thinking that this amazing man was mine.

I walked out and shut the door. As we approached the top of the stairs Nathan stopped me "Hales, you really do look absolutely gorgeous tonight, your amazingly beautiful." Then he kissed me "Not that you even need the makeup or pretty dress to make you look amazing, you always look beautiful." "Thank you" I whispered looking into his eyes while blushing. Then he pulled me close to him as he kissed me again. Then I heard a click. I looked up to see my mother at the bottom of the stairs with the camera "What I needed some action shots." She told us smiling. I chuckled as I grabbed his hand and we descended the staircase. "Bye Mom, love you, I will see you tomorrow morning" We were all staying at Nathan's beach house tonight. We met everyone else in the limo and we were off to the formal.

We walked in and grabbed a table, Nathan turned to me "Want something to drink?" "Water would be great, thanks" then he was off along with Lucas and Jake. Brooke, Peyton, and I went to dance while they were gone when Dynamite came on. When we saw the guys coming back we went back to the table.

A slow song came on so I asked "Nathan will you dance with me?" "That's supposed to be my job" he fake pouted. "Well you were to slow" I joked then we went to the dance floor, along with Leyton and Brake. "I love this song" I mumbled into his chest. "I love you" he told me. I looked up smiling "I love you too, I love how much you love me, and I love how you are with Sophia. Like there isn't anything else you should do but act like that." He just looked down at me in adoration "Because its how I feel I should, I love her, and honestly I love her as if she was my own daughter, I know she really isn't but maybe one day she will be I mean. If we ever get married."

"I would love to marry you one day Nathan Scott, but just don't go proposing anytime soon" I joked. He laughed and pulled me closer to him. "You know I didn't want to say it earlier but when we were taking those photos earlier, I felt like we were a family." "I know what you mean" was all he said before twirling me around.

After a few more dances we sat down because we were going to be served dinner. "Alright so we will have this table first" Principal Turner announced pointing to ours. Then Brooke said "Probably because we are sitting here, and we are on the royal court."

Halfway through dinner I started a new conversation "You know you definitely belong on the royal court you want to know why?" I questioned to Nathan but before I gave him an answer I need an escape route. "Hey girls bathroom run?" I questioned as they nodded, we stood up and then I said "Because your middle name is Royal." "Haley James you are going to pay for that" he smirked "Oops sorry, I have to use that ladies room" I said walking away laughing.

When we walked out I saw Rachel Gattina sitting in my seat, and two other cheerleaders in Peyton and Brooke's I saw Nathan act like he was paying attention to her then look at Luke and Jake with a glare that said 'how do we get rid of them?' When we walked over I said "Excuse me Rachel, but that is my seat." Nathan looked up shocked to see me and smiled, Rachel fake looked around "But I don't see your name on it" "But I do see my boyfriend, meaning I was most probably sitting next to him, naturally."

But she still didn't budge so Nathan cut in "Hales, baby you done eating" I nodded "So am I, so I can stand" He got up and I saw Rachel scowl at me but I didn't care. "But baby, that was a low blow with the Royal joke, your going to have to pay for that, I would tickle you but we are in a public place." He said sarcastically "I am sooo sorry" I told him mockingly. "You know how I know Sophie is identical to you, you both start to laugh before I even begin to tickle you." I laughed at this, it was true, my brother told me once. "Like mother, like daughter" Then he extended his arm out to me "May I have this dance Haley James?" "Yes you may Nathan Scott, and it's about time you asked" He smirked. "Sorry but my woman likes to take control" "Sounds like a pain" "Oh no she isn't, I love her no matter her faults." I smiled as we walked onto the dance floor. I noticed that Brooke and Peyton had no problem getting rid of the cheerleaders then I noticed Rachel storming off.

"Alright ladies and gentleman time to announce the royal court." Principal Turner announced. Nathan, Jake, Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, and I gathered in a small circle in the middle of the floor. "And the king tonight is…Nathan Scott." I clapped as he began to walk to the stage when he got there he stood off to the side, you normally wait for both of them to get up there and then they place the crowns on each other. "And the queen is ….Haley James" I smiled, Brooke pushed me lightly towards the stage and when I got to the stairs I saw Nathan who extended his hand for me to hold as I walked up. He knew how much I hated walking in heals to begin with then adding stairs, bad news. I smiled at him and grabbed it. He smiled back.

I was handed Nathan's crown and he was handed mine he put mine softly on my head then he crouched down for me to place it on the top of his head. We then held hands and face the crowd as they clapped. "Now the king and queen will dance." Nathan let go of my hand then placed his hand on his hip expecting me to interlace my arm in his which I did and we walked down to the middle of the dance floor as the song began to play.

I knew what song it would be, you had to put which one you would want to play and I put 'Long Live' by Taylor Swift.

I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind

I held Nathan's left hand with my right, my left rested on the side of his stomach right above his hip and his right hand rested on my hip as we swayed back and forth.
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
We were the kings and the queens
And they read off our names

"You know how fitting this song is?" Nathan said. "Yeah, I know because I picked it" I said smirking as he leaned in to kiss me.
The night you danced like you knew our lives would never be the same
You held your head like a hero on a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an ageThen we moved so his hands both rest on my hips and my arms were wrapped around his neck.
I said remember this feeling
I pass the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there on the sidelines
Wishing for right now
We are the kings and the queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming this is absurd
Cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the
world
I'm not afraidThen he spun me around as the next lyric played, then my right hand was being held by his left and our hands were on each others hips, we were closer and Nathan's hand then moved across my back pulling me right against him.
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall

Long live
the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined
just for me and you
I was screaming long live
all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered

Long live
the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined
just for me and you
I was screaming long live
all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders

Long live
all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live
the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered

Will you take a moment,
promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children someday
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine

Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life, with you

Long long live the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined
just for me and you
And I was screaming long live
All the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders,
I'm not afraid
Singing long live
all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And long long live
the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered

As the song ended he kissed me whispering "I love you" and I responded "I love you too"

Once our dance was over our friends gathered around us, congratulating us. Then someone came over the microphone "Now please welcome Haley James to the stage" "You guys didn't" I said as they nodded "I hate you all" I said heading towards the stage. I sat down and someone gave me an acoustic guitar. "How's everyone doing tonight" they all clapped, I adjusted my crown forgetting I even had it on. "Here is a song that goes out to a special someone, you know who you are" I said with a smirk, then I began to sing

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You say my name for the first time, baby, and I
Fall in love in an empty bar
And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that'll haunt me when you're not around

'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
So reach out open handed
And lead me out to that floor
Well, I don't need more paper lanterns
Take me down, baby bring on the movie star
'Cause my heart is beating fast
And you are beautiful I could wait patiently
But I really wish you would

'Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Just keep your beautiful eyes on me
Gonna strike this match tonight
Lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'd love to hate it
But you make it like a fireworks show

When I finished I flashed Nathan a smirk while everyone applauded. When I got off stage everyone told me how good I was and then Nathan pulled me close to him as another slow song came on. "You were amazing baby" then he kissed me gently. "Thanks"

So if you want to see the dresses check out my profile, the songs were Long Live and Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift.
