At seven in the morning Lucas brought up the two girls a cup of coffee. After setting the cups down next to their bedroom side cabinets he opened the curtains so a beam of light flashed right into their eyes.

"Lucas James!" Brooke moaned hiding under the covers rubbing her eyes. He laughed and sat next to her pulling the cover out of her grip.

"Luke! Stop it" Haley snapped from the other side of the bed. She got up walking to her bathroom slamming the door. Luke didn't know what he'd done; Brooke just shook her head signing him not to say anything.

Haley washed her face and brushed her teeth and took a long shower, hoping all the hurt would wash away, which of course didn't happen. She got out and went in her bedroom to find it empty, Thank goodness!

Putting on a simple tank top and short shorts she went downstairs to find Brooke and Lucas eating breakfast. She went and found her converses and slipped them off heading to the door.

"Where you going sis, we have school in about an hour?" Lucas asked.

"For a run or something" she mumbled walking out.

"But you haven't had anything to eat" But before he started that sentence she was out the door running to the one and only place that calmed her down.

The river court.

FLASH BACK:

"Haley James give us the ball back!!" A nine year old Lucas James shouted at his sister. She'd grabbed the ball and ran towards the river sticking her little tongue out.

"No!" She said grinning.

"Hales! Please!" Nathan Scott, pleaded.

"I want to play too!" She wined pouting.

"You can, if you give the ball back! Haley stop being a baby!" Lucas shouted walking towards her. An automatic reflect was to run away for Haley. She really wanted to play with Lucas and Nathan but they'd said no. being mean boys. She started walking backwards and slipped over a stone falling towards the river.

"HALEY!" Lucas screamed. Haley had fallen in the river; from the shock she didn't do anything. She was being pulled from the current.

"HALES!" Nathan shouted diving in.

His small arms pulled her up making her cough slightly. Using all his strength he pulled her out on to the hard concrete.

She slowly opened her eyes coughing out some water.

"Don't cry Haley. Let's take you home!" Lucas mumbled. Lucas took her from one side and Nathan from the other and they all headed home.

--

"Haley?" Nathan mumbled walking towards the 15 year old girl who was sitting right into the middle of the court.

"What?" she sniffed wiping her eyes trying to make it look as she hadn't been crying. But with red eyes and smudged make up was highly impossible.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked wiping her tears with his hand.

"Nothing" she mumbled looking to the ground avoiding all eye contact with him.

"So you're crying for nothing eh?" He joked smiling.

"Yes" She said giggling a bit.

"What's happened? Who should I beat up?" He asked seriously.

"No one. You don't need to beat up any body Nathan" she told him getting up.

"Hales" He paused.

"It's Jack. He broke up with me" She told him straight. A bout an hour ago Jack Waterwood broke up with her, by text.

"What the hell? Why?" He asked angrily.

After a good few minutes Haley didn't reply, Nathan guessed she wasn't ready to talk about it, and the way she went slightly red was probably because she was embarrassed.

"You can tell me?" he said softly.

"He wanted… he just wanted things I didn't" She mumbled trying not to go red as a tomato, which of course she did.

"Did he pressure you in any thing?" He asked getting up clenching his jaw.

"NO! Of course not. That's why he broke up with me, now he's with Sheila Rose… apparently she gives him more" she said looking to the ground.

"Haley, you did the right thing trust me. I know what guys think about, about girls like you, and trust me all they want to do is get in your pants" he said truthfully.

"Girls like me?" she asked.

"Pretty girls." He said smiling.

"Thanks" she mumbled blushing.

"Come on lets head home" he put his hand out and she took it and they both headed off…

Haley ended up spending most of the morning at the river court but went back at lunch. As soon as she was out side Brooke caught site of her and ran towards her.

"Where the hell were you?!" She asked.

"I didn't want to face him Brooke" Haley told Brooke honestly.

"It's okay I understand, but your brother needs to talk to you." She pointed towards Nathan and Luke who were surrounded by the rest of the basketball team laughing about something.

"I'm not going over there, not near him" Haley muttered.

"HALES!" Luke called from where he was.

She groaned in side and slowly walked up to the whole team.

"Mum and dad are visiting us" he said grinning. Why was he so happy? They were meant to be living with us? That's what normal parents did! She wasn't going to smile at something that kids had all the time.

"Great" she muttered sarcastically.

"Well we're having dinner with them; wait for me after practice and we'll drive straight to the restaurant." He told her ignoring her previous sarcasm.

"What am I going to wear?! I'm not going like this Lucas!" she shrieked.

"Brooke chose you something to wear it's in her locker." He muttered. She nodded and walked away.

"Thank you" he called.

--

Haley got to the basket ball hall early, practice was still running. So she ended up having to wait a while. She watched the boys practice; shirts vs. skins.

Nate happened to be the "Skins" wearing nothing on top was torture for Haley.

His hard chest and muscles were irresistible.

No wonder why so many girls were after him.

Haley shook her head trying to stop staring at him but she couldn't help it. She didn't want to be here. This was just making things worse. How was she meant to get over him if he was right in front of her half naked, not to mention his body was amazing?

She pulled her gaze from Nathan and watched Lucas. After a while they were starting to warm down. A few minutes later Nathan walked up to her running his hand through his hair.

What was he doing?

"You didn't reply to my text" He muttered uncomfortably, every now and then he would look around like some one was watching.

"Didn't think I needed to" Haley mumbled watching the boys collect their things and leave.

"I just didn't want it to get any further"

"Don't worry it wont" She answered getting up looking around for Lucas. "Honestly Nathan…I don't even remember what happened" and with that she left him standing there on his own; running off to find her brother.

Nathan wished he could explain things to her. He didn't want to hurt her feelings. But that's what he ended up doing. He was so stupid when he was drunk; always doing stupid things.

Nathan walked off and headed of home. Half way through his journey he decided to check up on Rachel. He hadn't seen her at school today and she wasn't replying to any of his texts.

He walked towards her front door to find it slightly open. Why was it open? She never leaves the door open? Any way who does?

Opening the door he looked around to find a line of clothed leading upstairs. He followed them angrily clenching his fists.

What the fuck?

Finally reaching the bed room he opened the door to find his girl friend in bed with some one else…

Some one he never expected it to be..
