AN: Hey readers! Holly, aka my cuzin who let me have her nick name since I liked it so much, can't continue writing her story so she left me in charge, you should probably be afraid! Anyway, I made a few changes, that she was okay with (I checked), and here's the new chapter one. Enjoy!

Nathan Scott stepped off the plane and walked into the airport. He looked around for a man, a woman and two daughters. Before his parents died they had been really good friends with the James' family. Nathan had met them once but it had been too long ago for him to remember. He was hoping they wouldn't show up so he could go back to Newport. Back to Jen, his girlfriend, and back to his group of friends.

He looked around a little more and spotted two adults holding a sign that read: "Welcome Nathan," next to another girl with reddish brown hair and chocolate brown eyes and another girl with her back to him. He took a breath and walked over to the family. The girl with her back to him was now on her cellphone talking intently to someone.

"Hey, uh, I'm Nathan," he said forcing a smile.

The man and woman gave him a hug, even though he didn't want one.

"I'm Jimmy, this is my wife Sharon," he pointed to the girl still on the phone, "that's Brooke, and this is Haley." He grabbed Nathan's bags and motioned for Sharon to get Brooke so they could leave. Nathan went with Sharon and waited a few inches behind Summer.

"Honey, it's time to go," Sharon said, tapping Brooke's shoulder.

"Well, where is he? No not you, Pey," Brooke said into the phone.

"He's behind you." Brooke turned around and her jaw dropped a little. She was expecting a skinny, kind of short boy. Probably glasses that covered his dull eyes.

Nathan was definately not what she was expecting. He wasn't too skinny or too fat. He was tall and muscular with dark river blue eyes. He had dark brown hair that slightly spiked in the front.

"Hi," Brooke managed to get out after a few seconds of just staring at him. He smiled at her.

"Hey." She was not what he was expecting. After seeing Haley he was certain that Brooke would look like her, well more hoping than certain. He was wrong. They were completely opposite. Brooke had auburn hair, not reddish brown, hazel green eyes, not chocolate brown, and looked fun and exciting, not overworked and on task like Haley.

'I might like it here after all' Nathan thought once they started out the airport. Brooke, Nathan, and Haley walked behind Jim and Sharon so they could talk.

"What happened to your parents? How did they die?" Haley asked quietly so her parents couldn't hear them.

"Well they were on their way to yet another business trip and my uncle was working on their car. He wasn't finished and it was dangersous. My dad, being the jackass that he was, didn't care that the car wasn't safe and took off with my mom. He lost control and they flew into a lake."

"Ohmygosh! That's so sad! Does it hurt?" Brooke asked.

"Nah, they weren't around much for me to miss 'em."

"It's been, like, 3 months. Where've you been?" Haley asked.

"I stayed with my uncle but he blamed himself for the accident which led to drinking which led to him losing his job and social services finding out. They took me and that's when your parents called."

"There's the car!" Brooke yelled to Jim, who was lost. Jim got in the drivers seat of the gold riviera, Sharon in the passangers, Haley in the first backseat which left Nathan and Brooke squished together sharing a seatbelt.

The car ride to the James house was silent. About half an hour later Jim was pulling into the driveway of a big white house. Jim stopped the car and faced the backseat.

"The house is big and easy to get lost in so we're gonna put you on the second floor next to Haley across from Brooke and Lucas," Jim told him.

"Lucas?" he asked.

"His mom's a good friend of ours and is in Italy for a year so Luke's staying with us," Sharon informed him. Nathan nodded and everyone got out of the car and headed into the big white house.

Thanks for reading! I hope it didn't suck too bad if so, tell me. Please review!
