Well I have had heaps of reviews saying that they liked the story so far. I enjoy writing it so I am glad that you guys like reading the story. Now I don't think I made it very clear that this story only includes some of the characters. I hate Hailey after she left Nathan so she is not in the story and doesn't exist at all. I am not the biggest fan of Karen so she might only be in it now and then but she isn't a main role. Enjoy they next chapter and review please.
"Mum, is it ok if I give school a try tomorrow"? Meghan asked as she came into the kitchen talking to Hannah. "Oh Meghan, of course, you can do anything you want" Hannah said as she hugged Meghan with a huge grin on her face. "Mum, I am going out tonight so I will be home late, but not too late" Leah said hoping her mum would say yes. "Ok, but you will have to take a key because I will most likely be asleep" Hannah said and passed her the keys to the car. "Oh, I don't need it, I am getting picked up soon so I better go take a shower" Leah said and headed upstairs.
Leah took a nice long hot shower, way too long for the water restrictions but a shower cannot be enjoyed if it is less than 6 minutes (so true, my showers are at least 10 minutes long). Leah dried her hair and then curled it. Leah then put on her short black dress and then put her make-up on. Leah looked great and felt great too. This is just what she needed to get things off her mind. Leah put on her black lace up heals, grabbed her handbag, and walked downstairs into the kitchen. "Wow, are you trying to get lucky tonight or what" Meghan said, stunned at how good Leah looked. "Well it is a nightclub we are going to. "Who is this we?" Hannah asked. "Just Peyton, Jake, Lucas, Brooke and Nathan, oh and me of course" Leah said. The doorbell rang. "Well this would be my ride so, night" Leah said and headed for the front door. Leah opened the door. "Hey, whoa" Nathan said. "What" Leah said and then realized that Nathan wasn't very dressed up. "Oh shit, I am just going to get changed, I won't be long" Leah said and turned around. "No" Nathan said and grabbed Leah's arm. "You look great, just because I am not dressed up doesn't mean no one else will be" Nathan said and then grabbed her hand, pulled her outside, closed the door and then guided her towards his car. "Oh my god, you have a Lamborghini" Leah said as she stared at the worlds best car ever invented. "Yeah, well my dad sells cars and bribes me with them. "Cool" Leah said and then went to open the door but Nathan beat her to it. "Thanks" Leah said and jumped in. Leah felt so cool, she was in luxury and so relaxed. Nathan got in the car as well. Nathan started the engine and was off. "So, what is Tric like" Leah asked. "Well it's a nightclub that bands come and play their music, and when they go Peyton puts on CD's, its heaps of fun" Nathan said sounding excited. "Sounds awesome" Leah said while she was still admiring the car. "Are you ok?" Nathan asked. "Yeah, of course, I am just admiring your car, its sweet" Leah said and smiled at Nathan. Nathan smiled back.
"We are here," Nathan said as he pulled into the car park. "I thought so considering I can hear music playing" Leah said and then pointed to a free park. "I see it, I see it" Nathan said and does a huge turn into the free park. "You ready to hit the dance floor" Leah's said and jumped out of the car. "I am not much of a dancer, so expect to see me around the bar" Nathan said with a little smirk. "Alcoholic" Leah coughed and then laughed with Nathan. "Ready" Nathan said as they walked up to the door. Nathan held out his hand and Leah took it and in they walked. "Hey Peyton" Leah and Nathan said as they walked up to her. "Hey guys, Leah you look amazing" Peyton said as she stepped down from the DJ box. "Thanks, so where is Brooke, Lucas and Jake" Leah asked.
"Well Jake is getting me a drink and Brooke and Lucas well are trying to make peace, well at least Lucas is" Peyton said and pointed to the corner where Brooke was yelling at Lucas. "Young love" Nathan said and all three of them laughed. "Hey guys" Jake said as he walked up with drinks in his hands. "I saw you guys come in so I got you a drink" Jake added and passed them all a Mocktail. "Thanks" they all said and then they looked over at Brooke and Lucas who were hugging. "Damn, I wish I still had her" a tall dark haired boy said as he walked up and put his arms around Jake and Nathan. "Hey Felix" Peyton said not sounding very excited. "Hey cutie, you new round here" Felix asked as he looked at Leah. "Yeah" Leah said looking uncomfortable.
Felix walked over to Leah and stood next to her checking her out. "I thought so, because I have never seen an ass as fine as yours in Tree Hill" Felix said as he slapped Leah on the ass. Leah was in shock and turned to face him. Leah slapped Felix across the face and walked over to a table. The rest of them laughed at Felix and then walked over to the table Leah had sit down on. "Sorry about Felix Leah, he usually isn't that bad" Jake said. "He is a dickhead," Nathan said. "Well, I got to go and introduce the band so just wait here" Peyton said and walked off. "This place looks really good," Leah said. Then finally Brooke and Lucas came and joined the rest of them. "Hey Brooke, Hey Lucas" Leah said and moved closer to Nathan so Brooke and Lucas could sit down with them. "Hi, nice slap before" Brooke said smiling. "Nice to see you two are getting along" Nathan joked. "You and Peyton had your troubles so why cant we" Brooke said. "You went out with Peyton?" Leah asked Nathan. "Yep I sure did" Nathan said. "Hey guys lets make our way to the stage and see the band play," Jake said and they all followed him to the dance floor.
"Hey guys, how are we all tonight?" Peyton screamed into the microphone. The crowd let out this massive roar. "Awesome, well lets not waste any more time and lets give it up for TOASTED DUCK SHANK" Peyton said and the crowd screamed, cheered even bras flew into the air. Toasted Duck Shank walked out on stage with the guitars, basses and drumsticks, holding them in the air. "Are you ready to experience the best music on earth" One of the guitarists screamed into the microphone. "Hell yeah" Leah screamed out loud while the crowd let off another massive roar. The band played 10 songs that night while everyone danced, even Nathan danced for a little while, at the back of the crowd that was.
As soon as TOASTED DUCK SHANK left the stage Peyton put on some Eskimo Joe music to dance to. "That was awesome" Leah said as the whole group went to sit down at the table. "Cool isn't it" Peyton said, glad that Leah enjoyed it. "Anyone want a drink," Nathan asked. Everyone put their hands up. "Ok, I will go get us some then" Nathan said and stood up. "I will help" Leah said and followed Nathan. "You having fun tonight?" Nathan asked. "Defiantly" Leah said, not being able to stop smiling. "6 cokes please" Nathan told the bartender. "I am glad you are enjoying it" Nathan said as he smiled at Leah. "Hi" Felix said as he approached Leah. "Oh, hi" Leah said not sounding excited that it was him. "Look, I am sorry bout what I did before, it was rude of me and I just hope we can forget about it and start all over again, so, hi I am Felix" Felix said hoping that Leah would introduce herself again. Leah stared at Felix's hand that he was holding out, waiting to be shaken. Leah went a shook it and said, "Hi I am Leah, I moved here all the way from Australia". They let go of each other's hands and stared at each other. "Here you go, 6 cokes" the waitress said and took the money from Nathan's hands. "Here, let me take them" Leah said as she picked up 3 of the drinks and headed for the table. "Thanks" Nathan said and then took the other 3 and followed Leah.
"So why did you shake his hand" Brooke asked Leah after she had explained what had just happened with Felix. "I don't know many people here, you guys are great, but I need to take every chance I get to make friends," Leah said. Everyone nodded with agreement except Brooke. "If you become friends with him all you will get is friends with benefits, I mean the sex is good but you can do a lot better" Brooke said and then took a huge mouthful of coke. "I am not going to be friends with him for sex Brooke" Leah said and also took a huge mouthful of coke. "Anyway, lets go dance" Peyton said breaking the conversation up. "I might just sit here a little longer" Leah said and sat back into the chair. "Yeah, I will just sit here for a very long time" Nathan said, making it clear that he didn't want to dance. The rest of the group danced their way to the dance floor while Leah and Nathan just sat at the table. They both picked up their drinks and drank them dry. "My feet are killing me," Leah said as she took her shoes off. "Same, I hate wearing heels" Nathan joked. "You're a funny guy Nathan" Leah said. "A funny, nice, charming, cute guy" Leah said. "Now I know you are talking about me," Felix said as he went a sat next to Leah. Felix put his arm around her. "I was actually talking about Nathan" Leah assured Felix. "Oh, well would you like to come and dance with me Leah?" Felix asked. "Yeah, I am ready to bust a move" Leah said and laughed. "Lets go" Felix said. "Do you want to come?" Leah asked Nathan. "No, you two go ahead" Nathan said and smiled at Leah. Leah smiled back and then took Felix's hand and walked towards the rest of the group. "Nice of you to join us" Peyton said. "Yeah, I thought so, are you guys ready to see the worlds best dancer" Leah said and started to sway her hips and move her arms in the air. The group cheered as Leah started to get into the song.
After dancing to 6 six songs, the crowd started to get smaller which meant more room on the dance floor. Felix moved closer to Leah and started to dance with her. "This is so much fun" Leah said and then looked over at the table where Nathan was still sitting. Nathan spotted Leah looking at him and waved. Leah waved back and then turned around and started jumping to the song. The song died down and changed to a slow beat. People on the dance floor started to dance slowly in couples. Felix held onto Leah's hips and pulled her in. Leah put her arms around Felix and noticed that Jake and Peyton did the same along with Brooke and Lucas. "Lucas that's my toe" Brooke screamed out. "Sorry" Lucas said and kissed her on the forehead. Brooke and Lucas started to make out. "Hey mate can I please dance with her for a while" Nathan asked Felix. Leah turned her head to find Nathan standing there. Leah smiled at him and let go of Felix. Felix stepped back, but not wanting to. "Here you go" Felix said and walked off. "Hello" Leah said as Nathan put his hands on her hips while Leah put hers on his. "Hello" Nathan said back. "Glad to see you came to dance" Leah said and put her head against Nathan's chest.
"Well, I better get Leah home" Nathan said and stood up from the table. "Thanks for a great night guys" Leah said and put her shoes back on, grabbed her bag and then stood up. "Bye" Nathan said. "See you tomorrow" Leah said and they both waved. "Bye guys" Jake said while Peyton, Jake and Brooke waved goodbye to them. As Leah and Nathan walked to the door they came across Felix. "We are going home, see you tomorrow" Leah said. "Bye guys, maybe we could do something after school tomorrow Leah" Felix suggested. "Yeah, maybe" Leah said and then grabbed Nathan's hand and walked out the door. Leah and Nathan got into the car and Nathan drove off. "Exhausting night" Leah said and sat back into the seat and closed her eyes. Nathan looked at Leah as she fell asleep.
Nathan really liked Leah, she was easy to talk to, fun to hang around with and Nathan thought she was a great dancer!
As Nathan pulled up next to Leah's house he stared at her while she was sleeping.
She looked so peaceful, and it broke Nathan's heart that he had to wake her up. "Leah" Nathan whispered in her ear. Leah didn't move. "Leah" Nathan whispered again, but she wouldn't budge, she was in a deep sleep. Nathan noticed that Leah was holding some keys in her hand and he grabbed them. He opened his car door and got out. He walked around to Leah's door and opened it. He put his arms under her and picked her up. She was light and easy to hold. He quietly closed the car door and then carried Leah to her front door. It was 11:30 and Nathan thought it was too late for anyone to be awake so he unlocked the door with the keys that were in Leah's hands. The door opened and he walked inside. He walked into a room where a couch was and placed Leah down on it. On the back of the couch there was a blanket and he spread it out on Leah. Nathan stood back and looked at Leah. She was breathing lightly. Nathan kissed Leah on the forehead, locked the front door, and drove off.
