A/N: Ok first of Thank you SOOOOOO much to everyone who reviewed, they made me incredibly happy. If you read this, please review. It means a ton to me. OK so since the characters don't really interact with each other in the first two chapters, it can be kinda boring. I apologize. Um, some notes are Nathan doesn't know about Dan if you can't tell that in this chapter and I forget how Haley's parents are traveling so I just said RV. So here is the second chapter, I hope you like it:) And italics are in flashbacks in case anybody was confused

Sweaty and tired, Nathan Scott crashed into his bed after a hard, long day at High Flyers. He had spent two grueling months here, and had never been more worked or exhausted. He had also been having the best time of his life. Working so hard had helped keep his mind off of his life.

As he lay on his bed, Nathan's thoughts drifted to his mom, and Haley. He had been worrying about his mom a lot this summer. Just as they were rebuilding their bond, she had to stay the whole summer with Dan. Nathan just hoped his mom would survive and they could get out of Dan's rule.

Nathan concentrated on Haley. He remembered when she had showed up on his doorstep. He had been shocked…

Nathan swung the door open to come face to face with his wife...or ex-wife...Whatever she was, Haley was standing on his doorstep.

"Hi," she said timidly. She looked around nervously. Nathan almost laughed when he thought about how they had been husband and wife a few months ago, and now they didn't know what to say to each other.

"Haley?" He asked bewildered. He knew it was her. He wasn't stupid and unless he was hallucinating, she was standing right there, he just had no idea why. She nodded and gave him a small smile, but given his still confused and upset look, her previous look of doubt crossed her face once again.

"What are you doing here?" Nathan asked, hoping for a real answer. He wanted to know and he deserved to know.

"Nathan, I'm done. I'm done with the tour, and for right now I want to put music aside. I just want to be a high school student again. I'm not naïve. I know that you won't just take me back; I know we both signed those annulment papers. But I want you in my life," Haley said straightforwardly. In fact, Nathan was a little shocked at her honest.

"Haley...I leave for High Flyers tomorrow," he replied unable to say anything else.

Haley looked at the ground, "I know. Lucas told me and that is why I'm going with my parents for the summer. I just wanted to let you know that I was done." Haley glanced at Nathan. The two of them stood in awkward silence for a moment until Haley grabbed Nathan and hugged him, wrapping her arms tight around his torso. Nathan's hands seemed to return the hug automatically.

Haley stepped back almost embarrassed "I guess I better it going." Nathan nodded in agreement. She turned around and took a few steps toward her car before turning around, "Nathan?" Nathan turned around and looked at her. "It was…really good to see you. I missed you, you know." And with that she made her way to her car and left Nathan standing on his porch, watching her go.

"Nathan?" Deb came up behind him. Nathan turned around and followed his mom inside. His mother looked at him with a look he couldn't read. He waited for her to ask about who was at the door but she didn't and after a few seconds, continued to chop the carrots on the counter.

Nathan wanted to tell his mom that Haley had come home, but he didn't want to upset her the day before he left. He knew she couldn't take it.

The phone rang and Deb answered it.

"Hello? Yes it is. What?" Nathan looked up, curious as to who was on the phone.

"Oh I see. Yes sir. Thank you. Bye." His mom hung the phone and turned towards him. She opened her mouth to say something, but then thought the better of it and returned to chopping the carrots. Taking his lead from her, Nathan didn't say anything and soon retired to bed, he had an early morning.

Nathan sighed. High Flyers ended in a week and he would return to his drama filled life. He had no idea where he and Haley's relationship lay. He had no idea where she wanted it to lay. Heck, he didn't even know where he wanted it to be. But he did know that he would have to face her eventually. The same went for Lucas. He felt anger at the thought of his brother's name. Lucas had just pissed him off so much. He had lied right and left and Nathan couldn't take anymore of that.

"Hey Scott, dinner," his roommate called to him. Nathan blew out his breath and pulled himself off his bed.

Haley crashed in her room aboard her parents RV. Being with her parents was fun; she had missed them when they were gone. But everyday being somewhere different and doing something constantly could wear a girl out. Overall she had enjoyed summer. While part of her wanted to go back to Tree Hill, another part wanted to stay here forever. When she went back she would have to face everybody.

Haley thought back to right after Lucas and Brooke left. That night she lay in bed, thinking about Nathan, school, and the conversations between her and Lucas. Lucas thought she was still touring, she didn't want to explain herself to him yet. That night Haley had come to a conclusion. When she woke up the next morning, she went to Joey and told him she was leaving. She said goodbye to Chris, Michelle and Jessica. She called her parents. She packed her bags and boarded a plane and she had never been so scared in her life. She wanted to see Nathan so badly, but she was terrified. Haley knew that Nathan was angry and hurt. He could slam the door in her face for all she knew.

Haley hadn't talked to Nathan since she had showed up at his house. She had talked to her parents and told them everything about Nathan, Chris, and touring while she traveled with them. She had almost felt like a little kid this summer, running away from her troubles and spending time with her parents. It was really good for her. She didn't even know if she would be able to go back to Tree Hill, seeing as she didn't have any place to stay.

"Haley?" Haley looked up to see her mom's head poking in through the door. "Are you coming to dinner?"

Haley nodded and followed her mom to a restaurant in front of where they had parked. Her dad was already sitting there. The three of them made small talk while eating there food before Haley's parents looked at each other.

"Honey?" Haley looked up from her food to look at her dad. "We have decided something," He glanced at her mom. "We're moving back to Tree Hill. All of us. Your mom and I have decided that we have taken a year to travel and now we want to be back home for our baby girl's senior year," Haley smiled at her parents. It would be nice to have them back, but this also meant she was definitely going back, definitely facing everything she left. And that terrified her.

Brooke had rarely been this bored in her life. She sat in one of the most expensive restaurants in town with her parents and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Right now, her father was talking about the stock market and her mother was talking about china. She had been here for an hour and a half already.

"Brooke, are you ready to go?" Brooke looked at her mother, who was standing up and gathering her coat, along with the rest of the adults. Brooke nodded and did the same.

She sat in the car with her parents in silence while her parents talked about something insignificant.

"Can I go back to Tree Hill?" Brooke asked suddenly. She didn't care about interrupting and she wanted to know, she needed to know.

Her parents looked at each other. "But wouldn't you like to go to school here? The schools are good and you wouldn't have to worry about it being cold," her mom asked persistently.

"My life is in Tree Hill. I have one year left, and I want to go back. You guys can have your little life here, I don't care. But I belong in Tree Hill for one more year,"

Her parents didn't say anything for a few moments before her dad spoke up "We'll see what we can do."

Brooke awoke the next morning to the same sun that she had woke up to all summer. She got up got dressed and hit her answering machine button to play the messages. Her parents awoke ungodly early every morning and left somewhere. To let Brooke know where they were, they called from their location.

"Hi Brooke, it's your mother. Your father and I are at a charity brunch and then we're heading to play some tennis. We'll be home around four. Oh and I talked to Karen last night and she says she will be more than happy to let you stay with her for the school year. We took the liberty of booking you a flight tomorrow. You'll of course come here for Christmas and spring break. Ok well love you darling. Bye."

Brooke sunk back on her bed. She was going back and she was happy, but also petrified. Not only would she have to face him at school, but she had to live with Lucas. She looked at her clothing flung across her room.

"Might as well start packing," Brooke said aloud. She grabbed her suitcase out of her closet and began to fold clothes.

"Going somewhere?" Came a deep voice behind her. Brooke turned around to see a tall, tan, muscular guy standing in her doorway. His name was Trevor, and Brooke had met him at the beginning of the summer. His parents were friends with Brooke's parents, so she knew he was rich.

"Yes, actually. I'm going home," Brooke replied, continuing to pack, but also looking at him.

"Don't your parents live here? Or are you one of those families that own a bazillion houses around the world and this is just one of them?" Trevor asked smiling.

Brooke rolled her eyes," My parents moved here this year, I've lived in North Carolina my whole life, I'm staying with friends."

"Gotcha. Reader's Digest version. That's hot."

Brooke laughed, "Was there something that you wanted?"

"Yes actually. Your mom told my mom that you were leaving and I was deeply distraught," Trevor began.

"Deeply distraught?" Brooke looked at him.

Trevor cocked his head, "Yes," he stated with mock irritation, "deeply distraught. Anyways, you haven't been out with me this whole summer, just as friends," he added when he saw Brooke's look, "and that just doesn't sit well with me. So, today, you're going to hang out with me."

Brooke scoffed, "Oh really. And then am I going to cook you dinner master?" Brooke asked sarcastically as she bowed.

"No, we're going to go out to eat." He headed out the door and turned around when he was Brooke wasn't following.

"Coming?" He asked, holding out his arm. Brooke looked at her clothing. What could it hurt? She laughed and followed him out of his house.

A/N: So what did ya think? Tell me! And I know that the whole Trevor thing was kinda random but I have a few storylines planned in my head and I think he might play a part one. I definitely don't have the whole thing planned and it probably will change as I go, so maybe not but we'll see. Oh well, I named him after my adorable 3 week old cousin, so I love him :P So, the next chapter will be mostly getting Brooke, Nathan and Haley home. Ok well hope you enjoyed. Morgan
