The Heart That Breaks You

Bear with me, this is my first story. please review

Chapter 1: The Life We Once Had

"Hey Hales, you almost done in there?" 18 year old Nathan Scott asked his wife, Haley James Scott. "Yes Nathan, have a little patience." "Well today I don't have any, so I'll just have to come in with you."

Nathan ran into the bathroom, stripped down, and jumped in the shower. "Nathan what are you doing?" A couple minutes later all that was heard was the faint sounds of laughter.

Later that morning Brooke Davis said to her boyfriend Lucas Scott "Haley and Nathan sure are happy, I don't think anything could break them apart" Lucas agreed. Brooke would soon find out she was very wrong.

In the English room, there was the usual before school chatter. Coach Whitey Duram walked in the classroom. "Quiet down, the announcements are about to start." "But Whitey there's never anything interesting or semi important on the announcements." Brooke shouted over the roar of the talking and laughter. "I said shut your mouths and listen to the announcements." Whitey bellowed. "Now Brooke there's something today that you probably want to listen to." Hmmm I wonder what Whitey's talking about Brooke thought.

The teenagers had stopped talking, and the static noise filled the room. Then the principal's voice came on. "Good morning students, today for lunch we will be having…" By then Brooke had stopped listening. I really don't care she thought. "And today we have a very special guest coming to our school. Chris Keller is a very talented musician, and he will come and perform for our school." "Well now I'm glad I decided to not skip school today, this could get interesting."

On the other side of the room sat Haley and Nathan. "Nathan, this will be so great!" Haley exclaimed. She also was a very talented singer/songwriter. Haley always enjoyed listening to other musicians. "If this Chris guy is really as talented and what not as the principal says this could be your chance, Hales, to get into the music business." "Oh Nathan you know I hate performing in front of people, and that's a key concept in the business. I don't think I could do it." "Hales I know and believe that you can do anything." "You have way too much confidence in me" Haley giggled.

Later that day, everyone was waiting impatiently for Chris to come. Finally he came on to the stage. Well, well, well. He's really cute in the sense of scruffy songwriter type. Brooke thought to herself. Chris had spiky brownish hair, not as muscular as say Nathan but he didn't look like he would be weak. He was carrying an acoustic guitar. "Tree Hill I can tell that you're not ready for Chris Keller, but I'll perform I guess. "Oh great he is really cocky and full of himself."Brookewhispered to her best friend Peyton Sawyer.

Just then Chris saw Haley in the crowd, winked at her and started playing. "Oh god this could never be a good thing." Haley thought.
