She quietly walked down the street. It was her first time in the small town and she was in a very good mood. Eyeing everything while she passed. Wow was it real quiet. All the houses seemingly huge, very beautiful indeed but she couldn't help but wonder what lied past the windows and the designer curtains. It was so quiet and innocent yet there was an eerie vibe to them. She started to shudder at the thought of it. Quickly she began to think about the main reason she was in Tree Hill and her face lit up again. Continuing with her happy stride she turned the corner to the next street. This side of the street wasn't as quiet as the one she came from. In fact, it was as if she left quiet Tree Hill and entered the noise of Tree Hill. She could hear a boom box blaring Gorillaz Feel Good Inc. She could even feel the ground under her tremor as a result of the sub woofers. What a change in mood she thought but continued on with her motive. As she approached her initial destination, she noticed that the noise was coming from none other than the place she was looking for.

"69 Avenue Lane, this is it," She stood in front of the huge house observing what lay before her, "Wow I never knew he was having a party tonight. Well he never mentioned it to me that is...anyways here goes nothing," glancing at the house once more.

"and I'm off," she whispered as she began to approach the house slowly but surely. She was excited to see him and his reaction with what she was about to tell him.

Nathan turned his key to lock the front door of the Scott household. He couldn't believe after all his work on emancipating himself from his parents he ended up back under the very roof he wanted to escape from. His relationship with his mother was getting better, at least that was improving nothing he could say for his father however. There was no reconciliation in that department that's for sure. Dan was someone who couldn't be loved or changed. Even with all his near death experiences you'd think the man would have a change of heart but nope he just seemed to get worse. It was just that way.

Nathan walked down the driveway, basketball in hand. He was planning on shooting some hoops before he headed off to the party. He needed to anyway so he went towards the River Court. After playing there for a while he felt like his driveway hoop just didn't cut it anymore.

She turned the doorknob slowly making sure she wouldn't open it on someone. Once inside she glanced at all the people stirring around. The huge manor was packed with teens dancing, drinking, and making out. It was like any other house party she'd been to except this one was in a place she wasn't too familiar with and people she didn't recognize. She found that odd. After all the months she'd been with him, 6 months to be exact, she never came to visit him in his hometown. He always came to visit her whenever they hung out.

Leaving her thoughts she decided to look for her boyfriend. She was after all there to see him.

"Umm excuse me do you know where Vegas is?" asking the first semi drunk kid that passed by. He answered her by pointing towards the bedrooms upstairs.

Taking his lead she headed up the stairs, it was a bit difficult though. She had to make her way through the maze of teens hovering what little space the winding staircase had to offer. She made it in one piece but she was faced with another problem as she reached the floor above. There were 5 bedrooms on this floor not including the bathrooms or linen closets. She decided her best bet was to go through them all and that's what she did.

Nathan reached the now deserted River Court, he figured everyone was already at the jam. Oh well, he didn't mind. He was kind of hoping to have the court to himself, but instead of running and doing lay-ups to warm up, he decided to settle himself on the ground. He lay there in the almost dead of night. The sun was almost untraceable as the night sky enveloped it. Nathan didn't feel much like playing tonight. He mostly wanted the silence and the alone time. So many things have been swimming in his mind and even now he wasn't able to put them all in order. So he lay there trying to work out what his head was telling him. All it wanted to do now and he couldn't agree with it more was to just enjoy the faint cries of the crickets and look up at the warm night sky. It was beautiful out tonight. It was like any normal summer night in Tree Hill that would soon change to fall in a couple of weeks. The weather was seemingly humid yet a cool breeze diminished any signs of perspiration forming. In the moment Nathan shut his eyes and listened to his surroundings.

--------------

She had tried four rooms so far and all had teens doing the nasty. She was embarrassed to have walked in on them and disgusted at the situations she caught them in. Moving towards the last door she figured it would be Vegas' for all the rooms she interrupted didn't quite match the room of a 17-year-old boy. It was the last room she hadn't checked and she had a good feeling it was his. Before turning the knob she played in her mind what would be on the other side. She thought he would probably be listening to his ipod trying to escape the madness that was beyond his room, and with that thought she excitedly turned the knob.

"WHAT THE F! #," she yelled after witnessing not what she imagined, but Vegas with some other girl, " Oh I can't believe this shit," was her last words before rushing down the steps with a dishevelled Vegas hot on her trail trying to pull up his pants.

Out of breath from running down the stairs Vegas yelled.

"Jill wait. Stop! Turn around talk to me"

They were now in his driveway.

"What do you want from me Vegas and what the f! # were you doing with that other girl?"

"Ah Jill come on, that was nothing, just some harmless playing."

"It's because I won't do it with you isn't it? God, I'm such a fool for coming here. My girls told me to not trust you, but stupid me what did I do? I gave you a freaking bone and look what you go and do."

"Yo Jill it isn't my fault you don't want to do it with me but I need to get some action too."

"Oh my! You did not just say that to me. What the f! # am I to you? If I wasn't giving you what you wanted then why didn't you dump me, instead of going behind my back and banging other girls? If I'm such a lightweight for not putting out!"

"Yo Jill calm the f! # down. Geez girl get a grip."

"Get a grip? What the hell am I supposed to do? I saw you Vegas with my own eyes. You and that girl and you suspect me to be okay with all that?"

"Yeah, because that's me. If I want girls I'm going to get them whether you like it or not. I'm at the top of my game."

She was furious now and her face showed no exception.

"You know what! I'm not wasting any more of my time here. Take your shitty ass self with your I'm a basketball star and shove it where the sun don't shine. You Tree Hill boys suck!" and with that she was gone. In a furious rage she left as fast as she could without trying to seem like she was running but she had to get off his property fast.
