A/N: I was so excited about finishing the prologue and had sent it to my beta and waited like a good little writer. But then i just got too excited and went to go post it when i found out that i had not posted the last chapter of my story Bundle of Joy. This is the sequel to it so I'm a big retard for forgetting to do that. But due to my incompetance you the reader don't have to wait forever to read the prologue to the sequel. So it's kind of a win win for you anyway. Enjoy.

Prologue

Cody woke up around eight in the morning and ventured into the kitchen in his black shorts and gray t-shirt. It was the first day of the summer and he was already feeling weird about not waking up for school. He found his Mom sitting at the kitchen table. A steaming cup of coffee sitting in front of her. He heard her say goodbye to some one and saw her place her phone on the table. He figured it was some one from work. His mom was a big fashion designer.

"Morning Mom," Cody greeted.

He grabbed a cup from the cabinet and poured some orange juice that he had gotten from the fridge in it.

"Morning Sweetie," his Mother, Brooke said.

She wore a huge smile.

"You look happy. Did you get that promotion at work?" Cody asked.

Brooke shook her head.

"Jennifer Lopez saw some of my stuff and wants me to come to New York to help her design things for her new clothes line," replied Brooke happily.

"Wow. Congrats," Cody smiled brightly.

"I want you to come with me Cody. You can bring some of your friends. You can check out NYU while you're there," Brooke told him.

Cody thought about this for a moment. Then he knew exactly what his answer would be. If he decided to go with his mom then he would be able to see his Dad. His Dad had been asked to come and train with the New York Knicks. He had been really sad that he wouldn't be able to see him for a whole summer. But now if he went with his Mom he could see him. Cody grinned.

"Sure. I'll talk to my friends today at the river court," Cody replied happily.

Brooke nodded. She was happy her son had said yes. She knew Lucas was going to be thrilled. Cody finished his breakfast and went back into his room. Changing into blue shorts and a slightly lighter t-shirt he dashed out of his room.

"Bye Mom," He called over his shoulder before heading outside.

Her jogged the distance to the river court to get his heart beat pumping. When he got there he found his best friend Jenny sitting on the bleachers with Amy and Katie. On the court were Justin and Ricky. Cody went over to the bleachers.

"Justin, Ricky, come here a minute I gotta talk to you all for a sec," Cody yelled toward them.

Justin and Ricky nodded and joined them on the bleachers.

"What's up?" Justin asked.

Cody looked at each of his friends in turn.

"Jennifer Lopez called my Mom and wants her to help her with her new clothes line," explained Cody.

"Wow that's great," Katie told him.

The rest of the gang echoed Katie. Cody nodded.

"And the best part is she said that I could come and all of you could come with," exclaimed Cody.

Everyone was soon excited about Cody's news and they soon started to talk about what they would do when they got to New York City.

Nathan sat at his desk in the high school basketball office. He was the couch of the team. The Ravens, they were his team now. He stared down at a picture of him and Haley. He had never gotten over his first love even if he hadn't seen her in over sixteen years. He had dated girls, it was true. But the relationships never lasted a week or two. He set the picture back in his desk drawer and picked up a letter. The letter was from the New York Knicks. They were writing to ask him to come and train with them. He hadn't wanted to at first but his brother Lucas had talked him in to it. He also found out that Jake had gotten the same letter. So the whole gang was going to New York. Except it wouldn't feel right. Haley wasn't going to be there. Nothing felt right anymore. Not since that day she left to go on tour with Chris. Now he saw her all over the news. Every store he went into they would be playing her new CD. Every record store some group of girls would be excitedly getting her CD and singing the songs off key. Nathan rubbed his eyes. He had to get over her. She wasn't coming back. He pushed his chair back and grabbed his jacket from behind the door. He headed out of the building making sure he locked up before he left and got in his car. He stopped at the local bookstore to pick up a book he had ordered on basketball. The bookstore had a café and a CD store in it as well. He couldn't see the CD part of the store from were he stood on line. When he got to the lady named Jane she gave him the book he requested.

"Did you hear this famous singer is in the CD store signing autographs?" Jane asked.

Nathan shook his head. It didn't click as to who the singer could be.

"No," replied Nathan, "Who?"

"She grew up here I can't remember her name."

It still didn't click with who she was talking about. But why would it. No one had ever dared to talk to Nathan about Haley. This Jane girl wouldn't know that because she didn't know what the whole town knew.

"Oh I remember her name. It's Haley James."

Nathan froze and looked at her with fear in his eyes. But she didn't notice it. She went off with a customer when they asked for help. Nathan couldn't move. Then in the corner of his eyes he saw Chris grinning at him. He forced himself to turn around and didn't find Chris their. He tried to get it in his head that he hadn't heard the girl right. That she had said something totally different and that's just what he wanted to hear. But as he forced himself in the direction of the CD store he knew it was highly unlikely. A crowd surrounded the table. He couldn't make out who sat there signing autographs but he thought he could make a guess. She was his wife. They were still married. Nathan had never had the heart to send the annulment papers his father had given him. He opened the door and pushed his way through the crowd.

"Ya gotta wait your turn buddy," someone told him annoyed.

But Nathan didn't listen. His heart was racing in his chest threatening to break out. He found himself breathing in ragged breaths. His feet moved forward when his head screamed run away. What was he doing? He wanted to get out of there but he didn't have the strength to run away. He pushed through the crowd and then he got to a point were he could see the table. See that it was in fact Haley, his Haley, no not his Haley anymore. He watched her smile her famous smile at a group of girls that were talking a mile a minute, but Nathan couldn't make out what they were saying. He couldn't see over his heartbeat. One of the employees came over to him.

"You have to wait at the end of the line," the employee informed Nathan.

But Nathan didn't hear him. He was mesmerized watching his wife sign autographs. She didn't even realize he was staring at her. Or maybe she did and just didn't want to look at him.

"You have to wait at the end of the line," the employee repeated.

Nathan couldn't move. He couldn't back away like he wanted to and he couldn't move forward like his heart wanted to. He was just stuck were he stood. His heart melted as Haley smiled. Was she looking at him? She couldn't be. But he wished she could see him. He didn't care about all the heartache she caused him. All he wanted was for her to be his again. But that would never happen. Would it?

"Look Buddy, if you don't move I'm going to have to call security," the employee threatened.

Nathan waved off the guy. An ounce of courage swept through his body. He had to take advantage of this before it was gone. He pushed through to the table and came face to face with the woman that haunted his dreams each night.

"Nathan?" Haley asked.

Nathan leaned across the tables and was seconds away from capturing her lips with his own when…

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Nathan sat straight up in bed. He took the alarm clock out of the wall and threw it across the room angrily. It was the third time that week he had had that dream and the third alarm clock he had thrown across the room. And he was no closer to kissing Haley. If only it was real.

A/N: Mwaa Ha Ha. Aren't I evil with that dream? How did you like that for a prologue to the sequel? R&R.
