A/N: Thanks for the replies, here's chapter one.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Chapter 1: Don't Worry Baby
"You're getting married"
"What do you mean I'm getting married?" Haley asked.
"You're getting married at the end of the summer," Lydia said.
"How am I getting married!" Haley yelled.
"You are of marriageable age and you haven't had a serious relationship, so we arranged it for you," Jim explained.
"I can find my own guy to marry when I fall in love," Haley told her parents.
"You haven't yet, so we are choosing for you. We want you to find an acceptable husband, not some lower class ass," Lydia replied.
"You need to marry someone with good breeding, so we talked to our friends and they agreed that their son should be married too, so we have arranged it," Jim continued.
"Do I even know this person! This is wrong and unfair. None of my brothers and sisters had to do this!" Haley yelled.
"They were all in good, proper relationships by now," Lydia said.
"You should know him; do you remember Dan and Deb?" Jim asked.
"Who could forget the world's biggest bastards," she said under her breath.
"What was that?" Lydia asked.
"Nothing," Haley replied. "Yes I remember them."
"You will be marrying their son, Nathan," Jim told her.
"WHAT!" Haley screamed. "I hate Nathan, I won't marry him."
"You don't even really know him, he is a pleasant boy," Lydia said.
"No he's not, he is one of my worst enemies, and I'm Lucas' best friend. I can't do that to him," Haley said. "I won't marry him."
"You don't have a choice, Haley. This is a choice we have made for you. If you don't go through with it, you cannot live here and we will not pay for your college," Jim told her. Haley didn't make enough money to survive on her own or go to college with.
"Fine, but I won't be happy. Does he even know yet?" Haley asked, knowing she really had no choice.
"He should be finding out soon, your engagement party is tomorrow night," Lydia said.
"Tomorrow night? You mean I'll have to pretend to be happy with him tomorrow night?"
"Haley, give him a chance. I'm sure you'll love him eventually. Now go upstairs and rest, you have a busy day tomorrow."
"And Haley, don't worry baby," Jim said as if it would be easy for her.
At the Scott's house…
"Nathan come downstairs, we need to talk to you," Deb called up the stairs.
"What is it?" he asked as he sat on the couch across from his parents.
"You're getting married at the end of the summer," Dan told him.
"Right, how am I supposed to find a wife by the end of the summer? I don't do relationships," he said as if they were joking.
"We're not joking Nathan, and we've found one for you. You need to be with someone acceptable, and you should have been engaged by now. Haley is a lovely girl, I'm sure you'll love her," Deb explained.
"Haley? Haley who?" he asked.
"Haley James, she lives next door. I think you may have met her a few times."
"I'm not getting married, especially not to a girl I don't know. You can't make me."
"Yes we can and we are," Dan said. "You can't survive without our money."
"Your engagement party will be held here tomorrow night, so you two will at least have to get along then. You're going to be meeting with the wedding planner tomorrow, so be ready by eleven o'clock."
"I can't believe this," Nathan said as he walked up the stairs to his room.
At Haley's house…
Haley had called Lucas to come over and he just arrived.
"So what's up Hales, you sounded upset on the phone?" he asked as he sat down on her bed.
"Have you ever heard of an arranged marriage?" Haley asked him.
"Yeah, some cultures have people get married that don't even meet before the wedding," he said," that's pretty harsh."
"Yeah, well some cultures have people married that you hate," Haley said.
"What are you talking about Haley?"
"My parents have arranged for me to be married at the end of the summer," she cried.
"Why? You're too young to be forced into marriage."
"It gets worse," she said.
"How can it get worse, it's not like you're marrying Nathan," he joked. Haley's cries got heavier. "Oh my god, you're marrying Nathan?"
"I hate my parents, I told them I hate Nathan, but they're going to take away everything from me. I have to go to college, but if I don't do this I won't be able to go."
"Why do you have to marry Nathan?"
"He's of good breeding, I can't marry someone from the lower class," Haley said using air quotes and imitating her mother.
"That's a load of crap. Does he want to do this?"
"I don't know I haven't talked to him. My engagement party is tomorrow night at their house, so you better be there. It's formal so make sure you have a suit and a good tie."
"I think I can find one, and I'm only going for you. I don't want you to have to suffer with him alone."
"Thanks Luke, you're the best."
"I know, now lets do something fun and take your mind off of this."
Well its been building up inside of me
For oh i don't know how long
I don't know why
But i keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says "don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
I guess i should've kept my mouth shut
When i started to brag about my car
But i can't back down now
I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says "don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
She told me "baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you know how much i loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you"
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says "don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
A/N: Hope you like the first chapter. Please reply even if you hate it. The song was "Don't Worry Baby" by the Beach Boys. I wanted to use "Don't Worry, Be Happy" but I couldn't find the lyrics. This song came up when I searched for it.
