I updated the chapters that I wrote before and the fic would make more sense if you re-read them. But it will make enough sense without doing that but it'd make more if you did so…I'd love a beta reader so if anyone's interested just put it in your review or something. Thanks for all the reviews, I really appreciate them and I hope this fic lives up to what you guys want it to be. -Inna

The Right to Remain Silent

Take Me

"Lucas Scott I'm happy I met you…again." Haley was lying across one side of her bed and Lucas was on the other. He took his eyes of the screen and turned to her.

"So am I…again." His eyes were on her eyes and she took the opportunity to grab the pillow at her feet and raise it up above his head. "You wouldn't ruin this wonderfully gushy and fluffy moment by doing what I think you're gunna do."

"Oh but I would." He went to grab a pillow of his own and she took the opportunity to begin their first pillow fight in four years.

"Oh it is so on." Lucas grabbed the nearest one to him and it was like old times, minus the camp counselor coming in to tell them that the cabins were not supposed to have members of the opposite sex. Instead they had Emma to fill in that roll, and dammit if she couldn't fill those shoes.

O-O-O

Take me and let me in

Don't break me and shut me out

So take me and let me in

Don't break me and shut me out

O-O-O

He walked by his father's office as quickly as he possible could trying to avoid him but the door was open and the gods didn't seem to favor him lately.

"Nathan, come in here a second son." He stopped, backtracked a few steps until he was standing in the doorframe, and bounced the basketball in his hands once before he looked up at him.

"What's up dad?"

"How was your first day?"

"School is school." He wanted more conversation from his son than the few words they had shared over the summer. Deb hadn't been home more than a week in all the time that he'd had off and Nathan was usually hanging out with his friends or up in his room with…

"How's Peyton?" The boy looked out the door and into the hallway before speaking.

"I told you dad," he scratched at his ear, "we broke up."

"Well…you don't need a girlfriend anyway. You should be focussing on basketball, your senior year's coming up quicker than you know and your foul shots need improvement." He looked at nonexistent papers on his desk and looked up to speak again trying to change the subject he'd boughten up. "So you want to order pizza tonight or Chinese?" Nathan shook his head and walked out the door.

"Whichever." He called to him when he reached the stairs.

O-O-O

I lit my pain on fire

And I watched it all burn down

Now I'm dancing in the ashes

And there's no one else around

O-O-O

They had just finished pulling feathers off of each other and were about to go pick up the food they'd wanted when Lucas's cell phone went off and Haley politely walked out of the room and waited for him at the top of her stairs.

"That was my mom. I told her I was over here and she said she wanted to see you, something about missing her daughter." Haley smiled wide missing Karen already.

"I haven't seen her in forever, didn't think she'd remember me."

"She shrieked when I told her where I was but she uh wants me to bring you over there as soon as possible."

"And when is that?"

"Depends what you're doing for dinner."

"I think I'm having it with this big, tough, manly, basketball player who's my only friend in Tree Hill, and it just so happens that I just kicked his ass in a pillow fight."

"I'm gunna pretend you didn't say that."

"You can pretend all you want but it doesn't change the fact that I did."

"Touché" He stuck out his arms for her to grab onto and they walked down her stairs side by side. "Love your stairs by the way. Very Gone With the Wind."

"That's why I chose this place, for all the excellent parties I can throw here when daddies away and for all of the princess entrances I can make for said parties."

"Haley James party girl? It couldn't be true." He looked at her with a feigned shocked expression on his face.

"Well I did live in New York and you know what they say about New Yorker's don't you?"

"I don't believe I do."

"They're excellent liars and their poker faces are magnific." She used a french accent on the last word that made them both smile.

"Well then this year is going to be interesting one wouldn't you say?" He grabbed her coat from the rack next to her front door and helped her put it on.

O-O-O

Cause I wanna be apart of something

This is just a story of a broken soul

O-O-O

"Haley!" Karen screamed, ran from her place behind the counter, and embraced Haley into a huge hug where both females said more words than either ever could.

"Mom, I'm real happy you have your segregate daughter back but you won't have her for very long if you don't let her come up for air." Seconds later they broke away and stood a few feet away taking in all of the changes they saw in each other. Karen spoke first.

"I missed you sweetie."

"I missed you too."

"How's your family doing?"

"As well as we were ever doing."

"And your mom?" Lucas coughed and Haley looked uncomfortable before she spoke.

"She uh passed away a few months ago, the cancer came back."

"Aww, honey I'm so sorry." She grabbed her into another hug. "How are you doing?"

"Me, I'm fine." Karen kissed the top of her head and let her go knowing that Haley wasn't taking it as well as she was letting on but decided not to pry for anything more than she would be willing to give.

O-O-O

As days go by, my heart grows cold

I can't seem to let this all pass me by

So take me and let me in

Don't break me and shut me out

O-O-O
