Thanks for all the great reviews and for everyone who read. :)

I got some messages asking why there was so much Naley and not enough focus on the Leyton/Brucas part of the story. So I wanted to clarify. This is primarily a Haley and Nathan story, with Leyton and Brucas playing a big part.

Oh, and there will be no more Pathan than is necessary for the story. Yuck. I hate them and Brathan too.

Chapter Eighteen

November 4, 2007

Lucas held his head, moaning in pain as he stumbled to the shower. He wasn't used to having a hangover. He managed to get into the shower, and he turned on the spray. The hot water on his head made him feel better and he stood up a little straighter. Lifting his arm, he hissed when it made contact with the water. Twisting his head he saw the tattoo. Oh shit! I have a fucking tattoo. My mom is going to kill me.

Hurriedly, Lucas finished washing and went back to his room. Pulling on a pair of basketball shorts he moved to the mirror and studied his arm. The tattoo he had decided on was some Chinese characters. He didn't know what it meant but it didn't look too bad. Looking closer his memory from the previous night was starting to come back. He remembered what had happened at the bar pretty clearly. After that it started to get blurry. Brooke had taken him to a friend of a friend's tattoo parlor… and they had looked for the perfect tattoo for him. Yeah… it was coming back to him now. Brooke thought his choice was pretty funny, considering who he was.

Lucas moved closer to the mirror, to get a closer look and his door opened suddenly.

"Come on Tara Reid, you're going to be late," Keith smirked as he walked into the room.

Lucas quickly pulled the towel up to cover his arm. Damn it, I don't think I was fast enough. Keith saw the tattoo. Without much hope of concealing the tattoo Lucas smiled weakly, "Hey Keith."

Keith raised his eyebrow, praying his eyes had been playing tricks on him, "What are you hiding?"

Lucas reluctantly showed Keith the tattoo.

Keith rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, "Please, please tell me I'm seeing things. Just… this has to be a joke right?" Keith paused and looked at it closer, "No, no, no… this is bad… Just… just wipe it off, okay?"

Lucas rolled his eyes a little, frustrated with the way his uncle was acting, "Keith, it's a tattoo."

"A tattoo. You got a real tattoo. Of what?" He asked incredulously.

"It's an ancient symbol for fun." Lucas told him.

"Oh, for fun? Because I thought it was an ancient symbol for being a freaking fool." Keith told him sarcastically.

"Keith, come on…"

"Come on what Lucas? Your mom trusted me she's only been gone for six days and you scar yourself for life!" Keith ran a frustrated hand through his hair. "And look at that thing! Where did you get the tattoo from? It looks like it's from some back alley in the Philippines."

One thing, I do one thing that he doesn't approve of and all of the sudden I'm the antichrist. Lucas threw down the towel before telling Keith, "It's just a tattoo!"

"It's a tattoo, there is no just in there. God what were you thinking? This is a bunch of crap Luke. You're out half the night, you're drunk, and now you got a tattoo. What, did you join the navy too?" When Lucas just signed, Keith continued. "You took advantage of me Lucas. You never would have pulled a stunt like this if you mom was here."

"What stunt? You mean enjoying myself for once? Come on Keith, I'm sixteen years old. Why can't I have fun?"

"Lucas you can have fun, but you have to be smart about it!"

Lucas folded his arms across his chest, "You said yourself that when you were my age you were a lot worse than this. Why do I have to be a good guy all the time? Why can't I go out with my girlfriend? Why can't I do what other kids do without you acting like this?"

"I want better for you Lucas. You are better than me; you deserve everything life has to offer you." Keith admitted quietly. "But you won't be able to do that if you screw up."

Keith walked out of the room, before he closed the door he told him, "I expected more from you Lucas."

Lucas shook his head, "You worry too much." Even as he said it, he felt petty. He was lucky to have someone care about him like Keith did.

Keith turned around, "I've got to. I have to worry once for myself and then once for your mother."

Keith left the room and Lucas sat down on the bed; Keith really knew what buttons to push.

Checking the time he saw that he still had a while before he had to leave to go to work.

Lucas couldn't help the smile that played on his lips as he thought about his date with Brooke, he was constantly surprised at what a good time they had together. They had already made a date for the coming up weekend; he was really looking forward to it.

Getting up Lucas got dressed for work, in the back of his mind he couldn't help but wonder where Peyton was. It had a while since he had heard from her and Brooke had mentioned in passing that Peyton had a family emergency and was out of town. But still… he wondered how she was.

November 10, 2008

"To the Ravens!" Brooke screamed as she held her cup up in a toast.

Most of the party joined her in toasting the team parroting 'To the Ravens!'

"Yeah baby! We're undefeated!" Tim yelled after her, doing a little shimmy. He held up a hand for Nathan to high five, "Right dawg?"

Holding in her laugher, Haley snuggled closer to Nathan and took a little drink as Nathan rolled his eyes, "You know you're white right? Never mind, here." Nathan held his palm out, and Tim quickly slapped it.

"Yeah dim, you win," Brooke said dryly. She reached over and pulled Lucas closer to her, "You did so good tonight boyfriend."

Lucas smiled down at her, "Thanks Cheery."

Brooke leaned up and whispered in his ear, "When you made that last shot, it was so hot baby I could ha-."

"Hey! What about me?" Nathan pouted, "I was the leading scorer."

Brooke shrugged, "You were okay."

Nathan's mouth opened and closed a few time, causing Brooke and Lucas to start laughing.

Brooke pointed at him, "Haha, you should see you face right now."

"Naw, Nate-dawg, you were great. Don't let the haters get you down," Tim defended him.

Mike walked up with Skillz and joined the group, "Hey what's up?"

Haley couldn't help the instinctive reserve she felt for Mike. But Nathan asked her to give him a chance; Mike felt bad about how he acted at that first party. So Haley was trying to put it behind her. She couldn't help that little twinge of apprehension, though.

"Hi Skillz," Haley transferred her smile to Mike, "Hey, great game."

Mike genuinely smiled, "Thanks Haley."

Haley turned to Nathan, "I'm going to use the bathroom, and I'll be back soon."

Nathan pulled her closer, "Don't stay away for too long."

"I won't," Haley stretched up and gave him a small kiss, which quickly escalated to something more passionate.

"Oh god, I don't need to see that," Lucas groaned and put a hand over his eyes. "They are always kissing man! She's like my sister."

"But he's your brother," Tim told him. "Eww, that's gross. It's like a brother and sister kissing."

Haley pulled away from Nathan and smacked Tim lightly on the back of the head. "I'm not really his sister Tim." Looking at Luke she made her eyes as wide and innocent as possible, "I'm sorry Lucas, I guess I thought a real man could handle it."

Lucas scowled, "Look I can handle it, it's just that…"

Haley finished for him, "You can't handle it."

"Look I can! It's ju.. forget about it," Lucas gave up.

Haley smirked, "Okay I'll be back." She quickly gave Nathan another kiss before walking away.

"She totally got you with that," Brooke laughed. "Does it really work?"

Lucas nodded, "I don't know why, but whenever she says it I end up giving in."

Nathan slapped his back, "Don't feel bad man, she used it to me too."

Lucas quirked his eyebrow, "So what was it that you ended up giving in about?"

Nathan shuddered, "I let her drive."

Lucas had a horrified look on his face, "She knows better to push me on that."

Brooke looked between them, confused. "I don't get it, what's wrong with her driving."

Nathan looked over his shoulder, before nodding to Lucas giving him the all clear.

"Haley is a horrible driver. She won't admit it but it's really, really bad Brooke." Lucas explained.

Brooke rolled her eyes, "She can't be that bad."

Nathan disagreed, "It's scary Brooke."

Brooke still looked doubtful, "Whatever boys. You are such drama queens."

"Hey!" Both boys protested.

Impatient Haley taped her foot as she waited in line for the bathroom; she had already been there for fifteen minutes. I should go upstairs and see if I can find another bathroom. Haley had already wandered around upstairs for a bit and was back downstairs when Nathan found her.

"Hey Nate," she smiled up at him.

"What are you doing?" Nathan asked; he had been trying to find her for a while with no luck.

Haley rolled her eyes, "I'm trying to find a bathroom."

"Still?" Nathan laughed, "Come on I know which one you can use. There are bathrooms in a couple of Mike's guest rooms."

Haley followed Nathan up the stairs and entered an empty room.

"I'll wait out here for you," Nathan pointed out the door to the bathroom for her and sat on the bed.

Stretching he laid down and closed his eyes, god I'm beat. It had been a tough game, which made the win even more sweet. Currently the Ravens were on a winning streak and as a whole team they have never played better. Basketball was going great and he hadn't heard any negative comments that night about his playing with automatically put him in a better mood. Of course it helped that his usually absentee mother had dragged his jackass of a father to some business dinner and they be gone until the morning.

Not hearing a noise but feeling the bed shift, he smirked when a hand started running up and down his chest. Knowing who it was he said "I know you think I'm sexy. But you should have told me that you can't keep your hands off me."

He felt her moved closer to him, the warm breath slowly exhaled from her mouth tickling his senses. She whispered closer to his ear, "Was there ever any doubt? I touch you every chance I get."

"And for that I'm supremely grateful." Opening his eyes he saw her propped up on one arm smiling down at him, his heart start beating faster. The light from the lamp flitted around her and made her looked even more luminescent.

Softy he brought a hand to her cheek before moving it to the back of her head and moved her closer, "Come' ere."

Slowly at first, their mouths caressed until Haley opened her mouth and licked the seam of his lips, seeking entrance. Nathan happily complied, as she eagerly explored his mouth as her body slowly melted into his and she laid on him fully.

"Mmm," Nathan blinked lazily as her, "you taste wonderful." Licking his lips Nathan pulled her closer.

Haley wrapped one arm around his next while the other was finding its way under his shirt.

Nathan's lips trailed down her neck, stopping at the apex of her neck; nibbling and sucking until her nerves were screaming.

Pulling back a little Haley undid the buttons of her shirt with one hand. Haley reached from his hand and was bringing it to her, when he stopped her.

"Haley, we don't have to do this, you don't have to," Nathan gritted out, finding a bit of control.

Haley shook her head and breathlessly told him, "I'm not saying I want to have sex now, but I want you to touch me."

Nathan nodded, and allowed Haley to guide his hand to her breast groaning as he felt her nipple hardening beneath his palm. He sat up so Haley was straddling his waist and he was moved forward to take her into his mouth.

"Oh, Natha-," Haley moaned, enjoying sensations she had never felt before.

" Christ! My eyes!"

Haley scrambled off of Nathan and turned away to quickly button up her shirt. "Don't you know how to knock?" She snapped over her shoulder.

"Mike told me there was a bathroom in here, and it's not like I expected to find this!" Lucas waved a hand over the bed where Nathan was standing, trying to pull his shirt down to hide the obvious state of his arousal.

He ran a frustrated hand through his hair, "It's not like we expected you to walk in either, man."

Lucas turned slightly cold eyes onto him, "Can I speak to Haley alone for a minute?"

Nathan looked to a flustered Haley and she nodded, "It's okay Nathan, I'll find you downstairs okay?"

Nathan nodded, and leaned over to give her a kiss, when he thought better over it. "Hurry up; I don't know how long I can keep the ladies off me."

Haley rolled her eyes, "Yeah right, you're irresistible."

"Baby, you know it," Nathan smirked.

Haley smirked and opened her mouth but Lucas cut her off.

"As fun as it is listening to your twisted foreplay can I talk to my best friend for a minute?" Lucas interrupted, annoyed.

Nathan rolled his eyes and left the room while Haley blushed, "So what's up?"

Lucas shook his head, "I walk in here and you're almost having sex with some guy and all you can say is 'what's up?'. Come on Hales you can do better than that."

Haley bristled, "First of all, we weren't about to have sex. Second, he's not just some guys. He's my boyfriend. Third, even if both those were true I do not have to justify myself to you."

Lucas nodded, "That may be, but I'm worried about you buddy. You always said you didn't want to be one of those girls whose first time was a meaningless thing at party. Oh, and you've been drinking so your judgment might be impaired."

Haley bit down on her temper when she saw how worried he was about her, "Lucas, I swear to you we weren't going to have sex." Lucas nodded, relieved. "But that doesn't mean we're never going to."

"Haley-."

"No Lucas, listen to me. I really care about him and I know he cares about me. He isn't pressuring me at all and even offered to stop. It was my choice to go further."

Lucas wrinkled his nose, "Too much information."

Haley continued as if he didn't interrupt, "And you would be a hypocrite if you didn't accept that. You can't honestly tell me that you haven't had sex with both Brooke and Peyton, or at least one of them.. And try to remember that one of those girls is my friend, and she likes to share a lot."

Lucas' cheeks were tinged a light pink.

Haley nodded, satisfied he got her point, "Yeah, I know way too much about your sex life for my comfort level.

Lucas stayed silent.

"Lucas I don't want to upset you, but I have to live my own life. Okay?" Haley bit her lip as she stared at him.

"I know I've said this before and I haven't followed through, but it's hard. I'm not used to seeing you like this." Lucas fell silent; then he looked up and gave her a weak grin, "look I'm going to really try okay?"

"I hope so Luke, because you are both in my life and you guys are brothers. There isn't really anyway you can avoid each other."

"We managed to do that pretty well, for sixteen years," Lucas joked.

"Come on, that was before. You guys are closer now," Haley protested.

Lucas nodded, "Yeah and he isn't a bad guy… but you're my buddy, my best friend, I'm never going to stop looking out for you."

Haley shrugged, "It goes both ways buddy."

Lucas grinned, "I would hug you now, but you've got Nathan cooties all over you. So no 'Laley' hugs until after you shower."

Haley raised her eyebrow, "Cooties? What are we, in the first grade. And Laley?"

Lucas blushed, "Lucas plus Haley equals Laley. I heard Brooke call us that."

Haley burst into laughter, "Dude, I love that girl."

"He Nate, where's your girlfriend?" Tim smirked. "She's looking pretty fine tonight.

Nathan turned and stopped him with a glare, "Do not check out my girlfriend"

"I'm not doing anything every other guy here isn't." Seeing that his words only made Nathan more pissed Tim quickly changed the subject. "Sorry, man. I was just kidding. I'm going to get another beer you want one?"

"I'm good." Nathan held up his can.

"Later man," Tim walked toward the kitchen.

Nathan took a drink and studied the party going on around him. It was hard to believe that not too long ago he would live for these kinds of parties. Not that he didn't enjoy them now, it just seemed… well… less insipid with Haley by his side. Looking up the stairs he wondered how long Lucas was going to keep her up there. Nathan scowled; he wasn't going to hurt Haley and he hated anyone trying to make her thing that he was. Even if it was his brother slash her best friend but... I guess I can't blame Lucas for being worried with the track record that I have. Only 

time will show him that I'm not going to hurt her. Nathan shrugged, restless. He wasn't used to having to prove himself. And he didn't care for it, but Haley was worth it.

Nathan searched the party again, this time catching sight of Jake doing the same not too far away. Jake saw him and walked up to him.

"Hey Nate, what' up?" Jake asked.

"Jake," Nathan said shortly. He didn't have anything against the guy. Besides the fact that he was after his girl.

"Oooo-kay," Jake said slowly. "Actually I'm glad I ran into you. I've been trying to find Haley. Do you know where she is?"

Nathan raised his eyebrow, "What do you want with my girlfriend?"

Jake rolled his eyes, "I just need to talk to her."

"Talk to her about what?" Nathan questioned.

Jake shook his head, "It's private man."

"I know you are trying to get with my girl, you need to back off. Before I make you back off," Nathan shoved Jake's shoulder.

Jake held up his hands, "Whatever, you don't know what you're talking about."

Nathan held his arm, "Stay away from Haley, this is your last chance."

Jake didn't say anything, just shook his head and walked away.

Nathan brooded over his drink until Haley came down the stairs.

Flashing Nathan a smile, "I worked it out with Lucas; he's going to back off."

Nathan couldn't help but return her smile, "Good."

Haley yawned, "I'm pretty beat, are you ready to go?"

Nathan looked at his cup, "We've both been drinking, do you just want to stay here tonight?"

Haley thought about it, "Sure."

Nathan nodded, "We can stay in the guest room we were just in."

Nathan wrapped an arm around Haley's waist and led her up the stairs.

November 10, 2008

Lucas pulled the earphones out and bent over at the waist stretching his tired muscles. Taking a deep breath he breathed out deeply, enjoying the feeling of working his lungs. He opened the door to his room and stepped inside, looking around he tried to see if anyone was in his room.

He took off his shirt and was about to call out that he was home when he heard a knock on the door. Wondering who it was he let out a shocked sound opened the door.

"Peyton… you're back.

"Are you sure you have to go?" Haley pouted. She wanted Nathan to stay and watch movies with her.

Nathan laughed, Haley usually didn't act like this so when she did he couldn't help but find it cute. It was also slightly gratifying to know that she would miss him so much. Peyton had never indicated that she cared much either way. God knows that his mother didn't want to spend much time with him. And Dan… well more time with him wasn't really what he wanted.

"Sorry, but Dan says my conditioning is crap so I need to get home to calm him down before he has a meltdown," Nathan hated lying to her, but didn't know how to explain the whole truth… yet. His 'poor' playing was only part of the reason that Dan was so mad. The other reason Dan was pissed was that Lucas was still on the team. Nathan had to figure out what to tell Dan, make up some new lie? Or should he follow up on the first one? Hell maybe he should just tell him the truth, which was that he wouldn't be trying to get Lucas off the team and nothing would make him change his mind.

Haley pouted for a couple more seconds before she shrugged, "Okay, well if you have to go you have to go. I'm going to go out too then, let me get a coat and I'll walk you out."

"Where are you going?"

Haley shrugged, "I have been to see Whitey in a while, so I'm going to go take him dinner."

Nathan furrowed his brow, "You don't have any food."

"No really?" Haley rolled her eyes. "I am going to stop off at the café and pick us up dinner. It's not too late and Whitey is used to eating later in the day because of basketball so I should get there before he cooks anything."

Nathan scratched behind his ear, trying to think of a way to ask the question, "Um, are you going to be driving?"

"No, Nate. I'm going to walk miles around Tree Hill when I have a perfectly decent car in the garage," Haley said sarcastically as she buttoned her coat.

Nathan grimaced, "Umm, I have some time. Let me drive you."

"No," Haley laughed. "You're being weird."

"I just want to spend some time with you and if you're going by the café it'll give me a chance to see my mom." Nathan almost choked on the lie.

"Riiight. Nathan you hate your mom," Haley bluntly told him as she found her car keys.

Nathan reached down and picked her up, "Come on baby, just let me drive you."

Haley wrapped her arms around his neck to hold on as he carried her out the door. "Fine, if you really want to drive me you can."

Nathan smirked, pleased that he got his way. He would have to tell Whitey to drive her home.

"Yeah… um hi…" Peyton trailed off, unsure of what to say. She had thought about this moment all week, but now that it was here… how and where to start was proving to be troublesome.

"You're looking good." Lucas told her. He took in her gleaming blond curls, and the polished texture of her skin. "Really good."

"You too," Peyton replied trying not to stare too hard at his naked torso.

Lucas tried to fill the awkward silence, "I heard you had a family emergency, is everything okay?"

Peyton blinked; surprised that he knew what excuse she had given. "Everything is okay now."

Lucas nodded, "That's good."

Lying is no way to start a relationship, swallow your pride and telling him the truth. Peyton shook her head deciding to just do it and brusquely announced, "Lucas there was no family emergency. I lied."

Lucas stared at her confused, "Okay… why?"

"I need time to think, about us. What we went through a while back, how it affected both of us. I had to start being honest with myself about what I felt for you. And I need to think about what our relationship was… is... I don't know I just needed time to think it all through. So I went on my dad's boat to think about it all," Peyton tried to explain.

"So… what did you decide." Lucas had to ask the question; he himself torn on what he wanted her answer to be.

Speaking from her heart, Peyton started talking, "Lucas… to be honest…. Lucas I realized that I made a mistake. When you said you wanted to be with me… that you wanted us to have a relationship, that you wanted everything, I got… I got scared, but that was just because of my relationship with Nathan and with other people. Nathan and I sucked together and we held on too long. And I have a thing with people always leaving me… so I was scared. I know I shouldn't be telling you this but Brooke had a thing for you and that also played into my decision, but I don't want to hide it anymore. I can tell her how we feel and she'll understand… she loves me. We'll make it through this. No matter what life throws at us…"

Hearing a noise coming from the kitchen and knowing who it was Lucas tried to stop her, "Peyton…"

Peyton held up a hand halting him and continued talking, "We'll go through it together… because Lucas, I want all the same things that you want, everything, I do. And I want them with you." Peyton let out a short laugh, "I should have prepared a speech. That was one long rambling mess, but I think you got the gist of it."

Lucas looked at her, and holding out a hand said, "Peyton I-"

He was interrupted, Brooke's voice clearer as she walked down the hallway getting closer to the room, "Broody! You're back from your run. So, superstar, are you ready to score?"

Brooke walked into Luke's room only wearing Lucas' gray 'Keith Scott Body Shop' sweatshirt and holding a can of whipped cream.

Peyton looked between Brooke and Lucas, looking stunned and hurt.

Brooke didn't noticed, she was too busy screaming, "P. Sawyer! Oh babe, I've missed you." Brooke reached over and gave Peyton a bone crushing hug. "How are you? Everything in the family situation sorted out?"

Peyton hugged Brooke back, honestly happy to see her again, "Everything is okay."

Lucas stood behind them, out of his element. He raised he his eyes to meet Peyton's. Seeing the anguish coming out of them had the air catching at the back of his throat. He opened his mouth and closed it soon after, unsure of what to say.

Brooke pulled back, "You look great! Wherever you were it sure did agree with you Goldilocks. So how did you know where to find me?"

Peyton shrugged and looked at the floor, "It was just a lucky guess."

"Oh, okay," Brooke looked down at the can in her hand. "I guess I better go put this away so we can use it later. Be right back." Brooke sent a wink in Luke's direction and left the room.

"Peyton…" Lucas trailed off.

Peyton placed the heel of her hand between her eyes, trying to hold her tears in. "I'm just going to go. Tell Brooke I will call her when I get a chance."

Lucas tried again, "Peyton can we just-."

"Luke! Just forget about it okay?" Peyton hissed out, not wanting Brooke to hear what they were saying.

Lucas shook his head, "I don't want you to-."

"You're with Brooke. It doesn't matter what you want for me anymore," Peyton winced at the bitterness of her tone and words. "You should have stopped Lucas, why did you let me say all those things? Did you enjoy seeing me grovel?"

Brooke walked back into the room and stared at them.

"What's going on?" Finally catching onto the tension in the room, Brooke stared at both of them. "Someone tell me!"

Lucas stood between the two girls. The middle of their twisted triangle

Peyton was the beautiful, broody artist. Her soulful eyes hid an intense mind and passionate soul. There had been a time when he thought those eyes could make him want to do anything. Looking at them now he still got the same instinct…

Brooke was the gorgeous cheerleader; whose bubbly personality and sharp wit hid a big heart and generous soul. They had only been together for a short while, but it was like she already had a piece of him and he of her. He wasn't sure he was ready to let that go…

These two really different girls

Two best friends

The two girls he was attracted to

The two girls he cared for

The two girls he loved

But he couldn't have them both

He would have choose…

And judging from the looks flying around the room it looked like the time for that was now.

Dun dun dun! Who is Lucas going to pick? Peyton or Brooke.

Disclaimer: I own nothing; not OTH or its characters.

Drama4zashley-Naley: Nathan can act like an idiot at time. Pathan is gross ;) You'll find out exactly what happens, and why they were kissing. Thanks for review!

patto85: I totally get that Peyton is your favorite character and you don't want to read anti-Peyton stories, it and it must be annoying to read Naley or whatever stories and she's the fall guy. I feel that way when I read Leyton or Brucas stories and it kinda shits on Naley. I just won't continue reading it. But I don't think this story is anti Peyton. I really like Peyton and am not trying to set up as the bad guy. Thanks for reading the AU.

AJE33192: Thanks! You'll find out what happens after the web cam is covered, but it's going to be from Nathan and Peyton's point of view.

Jess2303: I LOVED your idea, not only do I think it helped the story, but it gave me a little kick in the ass the start writing a lot again. So thanks again!

LOL, I'm a little surprised you liked the conversation… it was so vague. But it had to be done that way. What suspense is there if Nathan says exactly what happened when, why, and where? Poor Brooke, but she's tough so she should pull through.

I wasn't sure if I should include that last bit about Pathan, because you guys didn't get the whole scene yet and don't know what happened before it had to be a total WTF moment. But there will be a scene that picks up right where this one left off, but not from Brooke's point of view. So you'll see exactly what happens.

About another time jump, we are going to stay in the past for the rest of November. I've been looking at my outline and trying to find another good place to jump to. I think I have one, but I want to make sure before I do it and can't take it back.

Good idea about Luke's and Haley's family, lol, I really like that. You really have good ideas, you should really write a story. I would totally read it.

Sorry about the long ass response

Rice: Thanks for reading and sorry about the story being confusing to you. All you questions aren't ones that I can answer right now. :( sorry.

RedRoom323: Hee I can tell you that I think they end of the chapter SUCKED. Pathan is yuck. I'm glad you interested! :)

Colviper8: Thank you! No you guys don't know yet what happened to Haley yet.

Smunlucky13: I know! I suck for leaving it like that! I'll try to clear it up as I can. Thanks for reading!

naley19: Aww, sorry your lost. LOL, I can only answer one of your questions at the moment, though. Brooke was watching Peyton's webcam. I'll try to update faster. :)
