Alright. I totally understand that this is very confusing right now, keeping all of the kis straight, so I am going to post a little about them really quick. I will brake up the scenes with those bar things to make it easier to understand.
(All of the adults in the story are 33ish by the way...)
Haley and Nathans Kids:
Logan; 16 : Nathan and Haleys oldest daughter. Her biological mother is Brooke, but she has lived with Nathan and Haleys since she was one and considers Haley her mother. She is trying to find herself and in the struggle may come across Brooke...
Hannah Elizabeth; 15: Her best friend is River Wood. She used to be very close with Logan, but feels Logan has been shutting her out of her life. She has a secret.
Cassidy Faith; 13: (Cassie) Cassie had light brown hair and tiny eyes, she was tall and thin, built like her father. Cassie is an average student. You could consider her 'painfully normal,' as Haley was at that age.
Rebecca Charity;12 : She turned out with dark red hair, she was average height and had freckles all over. She was so smart that they wanted her to skip a grade, but she opted not to for the time being.
Kylie Rhea 11; Kylie Rhea was small for her age She always wore her hair in two French braided pig tails, she had freckles on the bridge of her nose, and light brown hair. She was having a lot of trouble in school, but with Haleys help and a tutor she is doing better than before. Kylie was the last of the girls and always hung onto Nathan, 'Daddy's little girl.'
Gabriel Nathan;7 : One of the twins, Gabe is the eldest and the lesser of the two evils.
Jacob Lucas;7 : Jacob spends the majority of his time at school in the quiet room.
Peyton and Lukes Kids:
Spencer; 18: Highschool basketball star just like his father. He is Mr. Popular, less broody than in his younger days. He is really close with his cousin Logan and dating Jenny
Cody Alexandra; 15 : She is quiet. Hannah her cousin is her bestfriend. She has a deep dark secret or two, and may not be as easy going and fun loving as she seems on the outside.
Tessa Katherine; 13 : Tessa has been sick almost her entire life. She has a rare immune deficency which causes her to be particularly susceptible to illness, but none the less keeps her spirits up.
Gunner Paige; 11 : He has extreme anger management problems that nobody is quite able to get to the root of.
OTHER PEOPLE:
Jenny; 19: Daughter of Jake, dating Spencer. She goes to College in Florida.
Aspen Wood: Logan wild best friend who has a crush on Spencer and more siblings than Logan!
River Wood: She is Aspens little sister and Hannahs best friend. She may have a little secret as well.
Notes:
I think that Cody may be based a little on me so... fun fun! Right...
Brooke will be in the story.
Thanks to the reviewers! Keep it up!
Chapter 2: "Don't really remember when""Hey honey." Nathan said opening up the door to the bedroom
"Hey." She responded as he took off his shirt and slipped into bed next to her.
He had just gotten back from playing basketball at the gym with Lucas.
"Please tell me that you showered at the gym?!" Haley said scooting away from him as he climbed in.
"Of course." He said leaning over giving her a kiss. "Did the kids drive you crazy while I was away?"
"Of course. But hey, what else is new?" Haley said laughing. "I am seriously thinking about medicating the twins."
"Well just think about it. In two weeks they are all going to be shipped off to camp, and then it's going to be you and me. Well besides Logan and Hannah but they can take care of themselves." He said kissing Haleys neck.
"Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell you. Spencer is driving out to Tree Hill to visit Karen, and then he's going down to Florida to visit Jenny."
"Spencer behind the wheel? With my daughter? Um, no." Nathan said.
"Come on Nathan. Really, he's not as bad as Peyton. Anyway Logan is almost 17, and I mean, it's only Tree Hill and Florida."
"But she's my baby girl." Nathan said whining.
"She's growing up. Besides you have four more to worry about. I think it's time to yanno, stretch her leash a little." Haley said shrugging.
"Fine!" Nathan said.
"Good, I'll go tell her." Haley said kissing Nathan and running up to the attic. Hannah and Logan have shared the attic since after the twins were born and they were seriously tight for room. Cassidy and Rebecca shared a room as well, and so did the twins. Only Kylie Rhea had her own room.
Haley pushed opened to attic door and climbed the stairs. Hannah and Logans beds were on opposite sides of the room. Hannah was on her side talking on the phone and flipping through a magazine, and Logan was on her bed painting her nails clear.
"Han, it's late, off the phone."
"Riv, my mom busted me, I've gotta go." Hannah said before clicking off the phone.
"I just talked to your dad." Haley said sitting on Logan's bed.
"About the trip?" Logan asked perking up.
"Yeah. He said that you can go." Haley said smiling.
"Oh my god are you serious!" Logan said jumping up and hugging her mother tightly.
"But we're going to have to have a serious talk before you go."
"Yeah, whatever you want." Logan said still smiling.
"Alright." Haley said climbing off of the bed. "Girls, it's time to go to sleep. You guys have finals tomorrow."
"Night mom, thanks!" Logan said.
"Night mom, I love you!" Hannah said.
"I love you both. Now sleep!" Haley ordered as she closed the door.
Hannah crawled across the room to her sisters bed.
"What's this trip about?" She asked her sister.
"I'm going to Tree Hill with Spencer and then we're going down to Florida to visit Jenny."
"How long are you going to be gone?"
"I don't know, probably the entire summer." Logan said with a smile.
"I thought that we were going to go camping for two nights, just you and me. You promised." Hannah reminded her. Logan felt a sudden twinge of guilt but pushed it away.
"Well you can go with Cody or somebody." Logan said.
"Ugh, you wouldn't even be going if mom and dad had seen your pupils when you got home." Hannah mumbled.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Duh!" Hannah said standing up walking back to her bed. "You're pupils were like the size of quarters!"
"You're not going to say anything are you?" Logan asked looking her little sister in the eye
"No, I promised you a long time ago I wouldn't. I don't brake my promises." Hannah said turning over in bed to face the wall.
Logan sat for a minute and thought about what her sister said. She really was letting her down… but what could she do? She picked up the phone and dialed Spencer's number.
"Hey Lo." Spencer said when she picked up.
"I can go!" Logan said excitedly
"Sweet." Spencer said. "So does that mean Aspen is coming?"
"If it's not a problem?" Logan asked hopefully.
"None at all. It'll be cool when we're in Florida, since I'm going to be with Jenny and all."
"Alright, we'll talk more tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Night kid." Spencer said
"Night Spencer." Logan said ending the conversation with her cousin.
She had heard the story about when they thought that she was Uncle Luke's daughter. She even had lived with him, after her mother abandoned her at her apartment. She wondered a lot what would have happened if she had been uncle Lukes. She loved her family and all, but Spencer would be the most awesome older brother. And Uncle Luke and Aunt Peyton were so much more laid back. Not to mention the fact that they didn't have seven kids. Oh well, what's done is done. She laid back and went to sleep.
The next morning Spencer awoke to find something had just been thrown at his head.
"Get up Spence, you're going to be late for school." His dad said.
Spencer turned over in bed to see his father looking down at him.
"What?" Spencer asked
"School. Let's go." Lucas said pulling the covers out from under his son and he fell on the floor with a thump.
"Dad!" Spencer said as his dad left his room leaving him on the floor.
Lucas walked out of Spencers room to find Cody banging on the bathroom door.
"What's going on?" Lucas asked
"Tessa is taking FOREVER in the bathroom." Cody yelled, more into the bathroom door than at her father.
"Go use your mother and I's bathroom." Lucas said.
"Thanks!" Cody said running up the stairs as Peyton came down, holding tightly to Gunners arm.
"What'd he do now?" Lucas asked
"You don't want to know." Peyton said placing a kiss on Lukes cheek before dragging their youngest child downstairs.
Peyton looked at the stairs as she heard as sound that best could be described in the way of stampede.
"Mom, good news, I talked to Logan last night and she can ride down with me." Spencer said.
"Great." Peyton said as she glared at Gunner out of the corner of her eye. The kid was forever in trouble.
Tessa came downstairs with Cody following carefully behind her. Nobody ever rushed Tessa it only tired her out. Everyone had been more concerned about her than usual.
"Hey girls." Peyton said as the two entered the kitchen.
"Hey mom." Cody said as she started to get breakfast for she and Tessa. Tessa sat down at the table.
"Cody, don't you think it's a little hot for long sleeves?" Spencer asked his little sister.
Cody just shrugged.
"I like this shirt." She said.
Spencer shrugged dismissing the issue.
"Alright Co, we've gotta jet, we still have to pick up Logan and Hannah." He said kissing his moms cheek and running out of the house Cody following.
Lucas came into the kitchen
"Do you think it's odd that none of out kids take backpacks to school?" Peyton asked looking at the doorway her two children had just left out of
Spencer pulled up outside of his cousins house and beeped his horn. Hannah and Logan ran out.
"Mornin' ladies." Spencer said unlocking the door.
"Hey." Hannah and Logan both said at the same time when they got in. They glanced at each other quickly and then looked away.
"I am so ready for school to be over." Cody said from the back seat.
"Two more days." Spencer said.
"Yeah and then ROAD TRIP!" Logan said smiling, Spencer high fived her.
Hannah rolled her eyes in the back seat. The gesture went unnoticed by everyone but Cody.
After school that day River, Hannah, and Cody went down to the creek. The creek was where they always hung out. It was dirty and deserted. They were the only ones that ever dared to venture there.
"What's going on Han?" Cody asked from where she leaned standing against a big tree enjoying the shade.
"You shouldn't be smoking." Hannah said trying to turn the attention from her to her cousin. She and River were sitting next to one another under the tree facing Cody.
Cody looked down at the cigarette in her hands and shrugged.
"Yeah." River chimed in. "Every cigarette takes like five minutes off of your life."
"With luck." Cody said smirking and rolling her eyes as she took a deep drawl.
"Where do you get those from anyway?" Hannah asked.
"My mom hides them around the house. I guess she stopped when she got pregnant with me, but she's started up again. I know all of her hiding spots."
Nobody quite knew what to say. Cody could be a little off sometimes.
"I can't wait until Spencer leaves for Tree Hill. I wanna go through his room and find his porn collection. That'd piss him off." Cody said smiling.
"Yeah, Logan's going too." Hannah said rolling her eyes as she had done before that day in the car.
"Is that what you were upset about?" Cody asked tossing a stick around with her foot.
"I mean, I don't care if she's going, she just promised me that we were going on a camping trip together." Hannah said picking at the dirt.
"But she's going with Spencer…" Cody pieced together.
"Yeah. It's just like recently she forgot about me." Hannah said shrugging.
"I'll go camping with you." River said grabbing hold of Hannah's hand with a wide smile.
"Yeah?" Hannah asked putting her forehead against the other girls.
"Yeah!" River said.
"Hey! I'm coming too!" Cody said but neither girl turned around. It was right then that Cody knew…
These two girls were crushing on each other and didn't even know it.
