Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill, any of the characters, storylines, or actors. I would love to keep Sophia for myself though. Lol. I also do not own the song Right Here by Staind which inspired this story title.

A/N: This is my first fiction so go easy on me, but I would like to know your honest opinion and tell me if I should keep writing. This of course will be a Brooke/Lucas story but if I go on will also include Nathan/Haley and maybe Jake/Peyton if I decide he comes back. Keep in mind I do love myself some Jake. First part is in Lucas's point of view. Second part is in Nathan's. I will continue with the girls and Karen hopefully in later chapters. Next part to follow is BL.

I have this story at many boards so I will put all my thank yous together. Thanks to: Brucasluver2005, soccerchq, AndreaK0428, 02HAFINAH ,naleychick, HaleyJamesScott23,BballLoser77, Brucas4ever, Brucas188, fardeen, and othfan for reviews!

And to my special reviewers that always manage to make me feel good and/or write long reviews:

Dayz- Thanks for much for reviewing each chapter so far even when you don't normally. I really appreciate it. And you feel the same way about NH and Sophia as me so that's awesome! Glad you enjoyed that line. I enjoyed writing it.

Hales Buff Carter- Thanks so much for thinking the short chapters work cause here's another. And yes I do believe Dan is a minion of the Anti-Christ. LOL.

April & Autumn- I love you both to death so I'm glad you are reading my story and enjoying it. I can always count on my ship buddies to enjoy my work. Hope that NH chapter was good enough for you. I knew it would be a crowd pleaser and there is definitely more to come. Including Jake I swear. Just have to get some other stuff out of the way first.

Jen- Thanks for your review even though I know it wasn't BL. I can usually obsess over them for more as well. LOL.

Jackie- I'm glad you enjoyed hearing from Nate. Hope you'll like this part as well cause it is still in his perspective and has some Bro action. And yeah isn't that Dan/Devil line the best thing ever? LOL.

Mary- It is sad for now but I feel like it has to be that way otherwise it would seem like Keith didn't matter to everyone. It will get happier as the story goes on and winds down. But I am better at the angst otherwise it gets way to mushy.

Belle- I don't know what I did to deserve such praise. Thank you so much! You don't know how happy and excited it makes me to have people think I am a good writer and you went way beyond that. You give the best reviews ever that really motivate me. And good ahead and ramble. I enjoy it. If I were to be making money on this story I'd pay you a percentage. LOL.

Jenna- OMG girl you make me want to blush. You gave such amazing compliments. I am actually am English/Journalism major with a minor in Drama/Film so I do have a little experience in writing. I hope to actually be a screenwriter and film critic when I graduate. So it feels really nice to see that maybe that crazy dream will work out for me. God bless you!

Chapter 3: A Brother's Trust

Nathan's POV

Flashback

I decided to go for a jog to clear my head and just get some fresh air. Haley and I had been moving her belongings into the house for the last couple hours. Haley was exhausted and had passed out on the couch. Before I left I whispered into her ear, "Babe. I'm gonna go for a jog. Maybe down to the Rivercourt for an hour. You gonna be okay?"

"Yeah Nate I'll be fine. I love you."

"I love you too. So you'll be here the whole time?"

"Don't worry. I'll be right here. It's where I'll always be." She winked and closed her eyes again. I pulled the blanket back onto her and with a light kiss on her forehead I was gone.

I had to get back into my routine. It had only been a couple days but without basketball right now I thought I might loose it. The only other thing that kept me strong was Haley and she was asleep. Maybe if I shoot a few baskets I can leave this world for a while. When I arrived at the court I saw a figure laying face down on the ground a few yards away. I ran across the court and turned him over.

"Lucas? Luke, man wake up! Are you okay?"

I got no response and panicked. What was I supposed to do? Lucas's shirt was heavily soaked with sweat and he face was white as a ghost.

"Help! Somebody help me!"

I looked around but there was no one in site. I took out my phone and started to dial 911. Before I could complete the call I heard a muffled voice.

"Nathan?"

"Oh my God man. You scared the shit out of me! What happened? Are you alright?"

"Yeah I must have fainted."

"Don't try to move man. Just relax and I'll get an ambulance."

"No, no ambulance."

"Okay then I'll carry you to the hospital. Let's go."

"No, no really I am fine. I just need to chill for a minute."

"Lucas you do not look fine and I think you should get checked out."

"I'm telling you I'm okay. I've had a lot going on the past few days as you know and it's been hard on me. It's just stress related."

"Look at you man. The sweat is dripping off of you. That's not okay."

"I promise Nathan. I feel okay and I just want to go home. My mom needs me right now."

"Then let me just help you home and I'll explain what happened to your mom."

"NO! Just leave it alone. She is upset enough already and doesn't need something else to worry about. Especially when it's nothing."

Lucas started to get up.

"Go home to Haley and I'll see you at the thing tomorrow."

The thing? He couldn't even call it what he was. I was not going to baby him. He needed a grip on reality. And no matter how harsh I knew it was I had to do it. I was family.

"You mean the funeral."

"I know what it is Nathan! Just promise you won't say anything about this. To my mom or to Haley. Alright?"

I just stood there and didn't say anything.

"Nathan? Are you listening to me?"

"Yeah, whatever."

"I'm serious. I don't want to be anyone's concern right now."

"Fine."

I watched as Lucas disappeared. He wasn't alright and I knew whatever was going on better be dealt with before it gets worse.

End of Flashback

Lucas noticed I was looking at him and gave me a nod. I returned with a disapproving look and shook my head. He had to know what he's doing is wrong and he's making a mistake. Whatever is going on with him is not going to get better if he ignores it. For all we know he could be developing a heart problem like Dan's HCM. But it couldn't be HCM because that was genetic and we both tested negative. I just hope it's not something serious. Maybe I could get Haley to convince him to see a doctor. But that means telling Haley about what happened. That means breaking a brother's trust. Although, I knew couldn't keep Haley in the dark. What was the right thing to do? Keep my brother's trust, or my wife's?
