Okay... So, I think this chapter will spread new light on the oh so wonderful students of Tree Hill High, as Nathan shows off his wonderful connections.

Chapter 3- Concert of the Year

Nathan walked backstage. Excitement was in the air, before Haley James was to perform for the "first" time in Tree Hill.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Haley James back in Tree Hill," Nathan said walking up to her to give her a hug, "How ya been Hales?"

"Nathan! I didn't know you'd still be here, and I'm good, really good," Haley said smiling, returning the hug. "Who let you back here, I specifically ask for now backstage passes to be given out at my shows."

"Oh, a woman I know, that owns this club by the name of Karen Roe."

"I'm glad she broke my rules, how's life Nathan?"

"Eh, I got a great job as a coach at Tree Hill High School, I guess I'm like the new Whitey. Kids walk down the hall in fear of me, and they have good reason to be, too."

"I always thought you'd go off and play basketball like Dan wanted."

"No, I blew my knee out just before tryouts. I can play, but coaches wouldn't risk taking me with the risk of me losing my ability to walk if I played to rigorously. Did I mention he's still mayor?"

"No kidding, hey, that just gave me a wonderful idea. Um, show's about to start, so I suggest you go take your seat," Haley said, looking at her watch, "But, I'd, uh, love to catch up with you after the show."

"Yeah, me too," Nathan said, leaving to take his seat.

The concert started. All the teenage girls were screaming the songs along with Haley. Nathan shook his head, he couldn't believe how big Haley had gotten, how famous she was. He was proud of her, she had done it.

She finished the song, then looked out into the audience and saw Nathan.

"Hey, guys," she started, "I'm gonna need a bit of help with this next song, and I think I need some help from an old friend of mine, someone close to my heart. He has been there for me, and helped me to get started. Nathan Scott, or as everyone here must know you, Coach Scott, get your ass on stage," Haley said with a big smile. The spotlight shone on Nathan as he made his way onto the stage, grabbing a microphone. "Okay, now, I know that you know the name of this next song. I haven't sang it of any audience, but you. It was the first song I sang, just next door at Karen's Café, Nathan, you wanna tell them the name of this, it's okay if you need a minute to think."

"Hales, I'd never need a minute to think, let alone think about it, I'd know this any day, it's Elsewhere."

"Wow, you never cease to amaze me Nate, okay, so this one is for you Nate, I sang to you first, and I'm still singing to you today."

Haley started her song, as Nathan went back to his seat. He could hear the girls behind him whispering, and it made him smile.

"So he wasn't lying, he does know Haley James," one said.

"I can't believe he helped her start singing," the other said.

"I know, he knows like nothing about music."

"I can't believe she's from here."

"Maybe he paid her."

"You think he has that kind of money?"

"Who knows."

Haley finished her song, and started talking again, "Okay, before I finish with my final song that fits Tree Hill to the T, I need a couple people up here, my Tree Hill Family, Karen, Nathan, Tay, Jasmine, Lily, Ridley, Peter, my wonderful nieces and nephews, um, and let's see, Dan Scott, mayor of Tree Hill, are you out there?" Haley asked, looking into the crowd. Everyone else had already joined her on stage, then she saw him, "Mayor Scott, would you mind saying a couple words to Tree Hill's younger crowd, I hear you're up for reelection, and this crowd is prime voting age."

Dan got a big smirk and ran up on stage and took over the microphone. He actually thought Haley was serious about liking him. When he was done, Haley took the microphone back.

"Well, now, if you want a better future, I suggest you don't vote for the monster next to me. I never much cared for you Mr. Scott. You were always out to get me, so tell me something, is it true? Is payback hell? Cause if this isn't bad enough, I can make it worse. You screwed up my marriage, so I'm going to screw up your candidacy," Haley smiled. "The candidate I encourage everyone in this room to vote for is Marvin McFadden… Mouth, get out here," Haley said, gesturing at the curtain. He had been in politics a while, Dan's right hand man, now he was going against him. Only in Tree Hill would that happen. Mouth walked out.

"Please, Hales, call me Mr. McFadden," He said into his own microphone.

"I'm sorry, but to me, and Nate, and Karen, and well, everyone, you will always be Mouth, now if you all want to make the right choice, vote for Mouth. And now, for my final song, it's about family, which is what everyone on this stage is, my family," Dan had already walked ofstage... embarrassed about what Haley did,"we all might not be blood related or anything, but I still consider them family," she said and started her last song.


Gosh, I couldn't resist making fun of Dan there... it was just so much fun.
