Hey all, sorry for the wait! Just been an incredibly busy week and on top of it all I was really sick. Still not feeling great but I'm bored and wanted you guys to have something!
I've had a lot of people suggest that either Haley or Brooke get raped for a storyline. Honestly, I'm not ready for that. That just takes the story on a whole other level. And if I would do that storyline, I'm doing it right. It's not going to be like "Ok she got raped, lets move on to the next storyline." Obviously there are lots of consequences that would need to be dealt with and I don't think that I am that good of a writer yet to be able to handle it. So thanks for the suggestion, but most likely not going to happen!
I came so close to stopping this story! Luckily some people came up with some suggestions for the story and I think I love my story too much to give it up completely! lol If I could have thought of an idea for a new fic, I probably would have stopped, but I had nothing. So here's an update!
"Morning mom."
"Morning Lucas. Ready for senior year," Karen asked as she handed him coffee.
"I guess so. Not looking forward to all the actual schoolwork though."
"It'll go by before you know it. Anyways, breakfast is ready. Why don't you go wake Brooke up?"
Lucas went into what used to be his room to see Brooke lying there.. He went over and kissed her. "Time to wake up beautiful."
"We're seniors!" Brooke cheered as she hopped out of bed.
"Who would have thought you would be so enthusiastic this early in the morning?"
"Shut up Broody," she went over and sat in his lap. "We're finally seniors! This is going to be the best year ever."
"Because you're with me?"
"No way. Carlos is the one for me. You're just convenient for the moment," she giggled.
"Very funny. Come here," he kissed her again. They fell backwards on the bed and continued making out until they heard a certain someone come in.
"What did you do, fall back asleep? Oh my God," Karen gasped.
-OTH-
"Go on in Jenny," Peyton let the little girl crawl onto the bed. "Wake up daddy." Jenny got on top of Jake and started bouncing on him. Peyton couldn't control her laughter.
"What's going on," Jake said sleepily.
"Dada." Yes it was true. Jenny had said her first words a few weeks earlier. Her vocabulary was limited however to Mama, Dada, and girl. Brooke tried to teach her how to say tutorgirl, but she couldn't quite get the whole thing yet.
"Hey baby girl," Jake got up and hugged his daughter. "What are you doing up so early?"
"She wanted to see her daddy off to start his senior year," Peyton said. "Come on Jenny, let's go get you ready. Jake we have to leave in 20 minutes to take her to your parents."
"Alright, alright. But where is my good morning from you?" She leaned down to kiss him. "Good morning. Now get dressed." Jenny just giggled.
-OTH-
Haley got out of the shower to find her husband still sleeping. "Nathan, get up," she yelled.
"I'm up, I'm up," he mumbled not moving.
"If you were up you wouldn't be missing out on this," she dropped her towel. He opened one eye slowly and when he saw her, he got right up. Haley giggled and ran into the bathroom with clothes.
"Tease," he yelled and got out of the bed. He walked into the bathroom.
"Well my idea worked," Haley smirked.
"Whatever, I need to shower. Care to join me?"
"I already took one Nathan. Besides, we really can't be late on the first day. Now hurry up." She smacked his butt and left the bathroom.
-OTH-
"Wait, she walked in on you," Haley heard Peyton say as she and Nathan approached everyone at school.
"Hey girlies, what's going on?"
"Brooke was just about to tell me how Karen walked in on her and Lucas making out this morning?"
"She walked in on you?" Haley squealed. "Give us details."
"Well she asked how long it had been going on, which it's been almost a month. Then she set all these rules about how we couldn't step foot in the other's room or we would be grounded."
"Harsh," Peyton commented. Jake and Nathan were teasing Lucas about getting walked in on as well. Then the bell rang.
"Senior year is beginning," Brooke cheered.
"I never thought I'd see the day Brooke Davis was happy about school," Haley said.
"First time for everything! What class do you guys have first?"
"I have art," Peyton said.
"And I have world studies," Haley rolled her eyes.
"I have world studies too! Let's go tutorgirl! See you Peyton!" And everyone took off in their separate ways, not knowing what the year would bring.
Haley and Brooke headed into their first class and found empty seats. "Okay, I know I said I was excited to start senior year, but I changed my mind," Brooke said.
"Too late," Haley laughed.
"What do you have 6th period? Because the rest of us all have basketball or cheerleading."
"I know, that's why I made sure I had study hall that period so I can hang out in the gym."
"You are a smart one."
"Have you been calling me tutorgirl for nothing?" The teacher then walked in and silenced everyone to begin class. The day went on smoothly and everyone met up again at lunch. Haley and Lucas were already sitting at a table waiting for the others.
"Heard your mom caught you this morning loverboy," Haley smirked.
"Yeah, yeah, rub it in. At least this way I don't have to think of a way to tell her."
"Tell who what," Tim asked as he joined them.
"His mom about him and Brooke dating."
"You and Brooke are dating? I thought you liked Peyton!" Lucas and Haley rolled their eyes. Tim would never learn. Eventually everyone else joined them at the table.
"Ready for cheer tryouts today," Peyton said sarcastically to Brooke.
"Don't even remind me. We'll probably get a bunch of no good freshmen who can't do a cartwheel."
"Hey! I can't do a cartwheel," Haley cut in and everyone laughed. "What? I can't!" Nathan kissed her gently. "We know," he chuckled. "We've seen you attempt them." She punched his chest. "Ow!" This just caused everyone to laugh more.
"For once I'm actually looking forward to basketball," Lucas said.
"That's just because when we win our game on in 2 weeks you'll be getting victory sex," Jake laughed.
"So will you," Lucas pointed out and Jake stopped laughing.
"Boys!" Peyton sighed.
"I hear you," Haley said. "Anyways I have to go do some stuff at the tutoring center so I'll see you later!" Everyone said their goodbyes and Nathan left with Haley.
"Nathan you really don't need to come. I just have to organize some of my files before I tutor some people later this week."
"It's okay, besides without me you can't do this." He pushed her into the tutoring center and started to kiss her passionately. She broke away saying, "We can't do this here! How many times do I have to tell you?"
"They know we're married! It should be aloud." Haley rolled her eyes and the bell rang signaling the end of the lunch period.
"You should go. We have to get to class."
"Fine, I'll kiss you later," he winked and walked away.
When 6th period rolled around, Haley went down to the library to check in. 6th period was the time when basketball players and cheerleaders would practice, instead of having regular gym class. Since she wasn't a cheerleader, she could wander the halls until 7th. When she got to the library there was only one other girl that she didn't recognize in there. Haley felt bad and walked over to her.
"Hi, I'm Haley," she said cheerfully.
"Ashley."
"Are you new to Tree Hill High? I don't think I've seen you around before."
"Yeah I'm new. My dad got a job here and we had to move even though it was my senior year."
"Aw I'm sorry. Well you can meet my friends! Come on, we can sign out and go to the gym." Haley thought the girl seemed nice and felt it couldn't hurt to expand her group of friends. Little did she know what would unfold.
When they got to the gym, practice was already in full swing. The guys were running up and down the court and Brooke and Peyton were teaching the girls a cheer for the tryouts.
"Tutorgirl," Brooke exclaimed. "Why don't you come help us with the cheer tryouts?" She asked with a pleading look.
"Um, I'll pass, but this is Ashley," she motioned to the girl next to her. "She's new here and doesn't know many people yet."
"Hey I'm Peyton," the blonde waved. "And this is Brooke." Brooke just glared at the girl. Something was off and she wasn't sure what it was.
"Well, we'll let you get back to practice," Haley said and they walked over to the bleachers to sit.
"The guys on the team are cute," Ashley stated. "Especially number 3. Who's that?"
"That's Lucas, but let me warn you, he's taken. So don't even go there," Haley rolled her eyes. Whitey called a timeout to let the guys get a drink of water and Nathan came over to Haley.
"Hey you," he said as he hugged her.
"Ew, don't Nate you're all sweaty!" Ashley then cleared her throat. "Oh, Nathan this is Ashley, Ashley this is Nathan."
"Hi, nice to meet you," she said as she shook Nathan's hand. "I think I'm going to go back to the library to catch up on some work, I'll see you later."
After she left, the questions began. "Who was that Hales?"
"I just met her earlier today, she's new and doesn't have a lot of friends so be nice."
"You might have to bribe me," Nathan said innocently and leaned in to kiss her.
"Oh whatever," she muttered as they kissed.
"Save it for later Scott," Whitey blew his whistle signaling the end of the break. "Get your ass back out on this court."

"Jessie Ferris totally had a nose job," Brooke said. They were all hanging out at the café the next week after school.
"No she didn't!"
"She definitely did!"
"Hey Karen," Peyton said as the petite woman approached their table.
"Hi Peyton, hi everyone. Get everyone the usual?" They all nodded. "Okay I'll bring it out when it's done." They had all spent so much time at the café, Karen knew what they liked. They all loved that about her. She was like a second mother, taking care of everyone.
"Big game this Friday," Brooke cheered. "You boys ready?"
"Hell yeah," Nathan replied. "This is Masonboro we're talking about. We always beat them."
"Except for that time you lost in the playoffs you mean?" Everyone laughed.
"Whatever. They just better be ready to have their asses kicked." Lucas and Jake nodded in agreement.
"Overconfident, are we? We'll see about that. And I know that Stacy Burlas is throwing a party after the game, she mentioned it at cheerleading today."
"Awesome, we'll be there," Lucas said.
"Did I say you were invited? Cool people only." Lucas pretended to be shocked.
"So why are you with a guy like me?"
"I told you already, convenience, Juan is my long term boyfriend."
"I thought it was Carlos?"
"Okay, what's with all the Spanish names?" Peyton asked confused.
"Too many Telenovelas, Brooke?" Jake suggested.
"Probably.. if I knew what telenovela meant! Did I not make this clear that I ditched Spanish the day we covered the naked verbs?" All anyone could do was laugh. It was Brooke, it's what she did. She could do anything to relieve tension in the air and take your mind off of things.
"Anyways," she said dramatically. "If you want to beat Carlos and Juan, Lucas, then you are going to need to work on that sexy mustache they have."
"So Haley, can you believe that project Gonzalez gave us," Peyton asked ignoring Brooke.
"Again with the Spanish names," she laughed. "But yeah, it's a lot of research. And I'll probably end up doing both mine and Nathan's," she rolled her eyes.
"The things we do for love," Peyton sighed and burst out laughing. "Do you realize how ridiculous we must sound? All 6 of us, I mean."
"Who cares what others think? We're happy, they're not. No rank of popularity or the winner of the beauty contest can take that away," Haley said not knowing the irony of what was going to happen.

It was finally Friday night, the night of the first basketball game. The guys were psyched and ready to go. The cheerleaders were assembled and had taken their spots on the sidelines. The typical high school basketball game.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Ravens first regular season game," Mouth announced into his microphone. "Tip off is in just a few minutes. We are joined today by Nathan's Scott wife, Haley." He turned to face her. "Haley, how do you see tonight's match up?"
"Ravens are going to win, plain and simple."
"And do you think that—"
"Mouth, I would rather not be a part of your webcast."
"Right. Sorry," he grinned sheepishly. "But that's okay, because it's time for tipoff. The ball is thrown and it's tipped to Nathan Scott who takes it down the court. He's double teamed at the 3 point line and passes to Tim Smith. Tim dribbles, and can't find a clear shot, so he finds Lucas Scott who scores the first 2 points of what looks to be a promising season."
-OTH-
"Good game Luke, you too Nate," Keith congratulated both of them after the game, which of course they won.
"Yeah, good job. Don't be too late Luke," Karen said.
"Yeah Lucas, bed time is at 10," Nathan mocked and got smacked by Haley. "Sorry!"
"So are we going to this party or what?"
"Like Brooke is going to go without you? Who is she going to show off?" Haley chuckled.
"Ready to party tutorgirl," Brooke cheered.
"With you? Always Brooke," she laughed again.
They got to Stacy's house and the party was in full swing. People skinny dipping in the pool, kegs everywhere, music blasting throughout the house, yepp that's what Tree Hill defined as parties. And most of the teens of Tree Hill were conceived at these parties. Everyone went and got drinks right away.
"Ooo jello shots," Brooke yelled. "Come on Peyt, Hales, lets do it!"
"You don't have to if you don't want to Haley," Nathan said putting his arm around her, but she brushed it off and ran over to Brooke.
-OTH-
90 minutes and a lot of shots later, they were wasted. Jake was the only one who was somewhat sober because he felt he had an "image" to keep up with Jenny. That statement just caused everyone to roll their eyes and pass him the beer bong.
After awhile of just walking around, Nathan found a chair to sit in. Not too long after, Ashley came over. "Hey there," she said seductively. "What are you doing all by yourself?"
Nathan was too wasted to really do anything. "Just having another beer."
Meanwhile Haley was looking for Nathan. "Peyton have you seen Nate?" The blonde shook her head no and Haley walked off to look more. She finally saw him sitting on a chair and there was a blonde girl on top of him. "Wait, a blonde girl? What the hell is Ashley doing?" Haley's blood began to boil.
She was filled with even more rage when she saw Ashley kissing Nathan.
