I have yet to decide. Hope you guys enjoy. Leave reviews they encourage me to continue the story.

A Past to Be Forgotten

Nathan's past held a deep dark secret that he was sure with time he could erase. He was sure that they way he treated girls would make it so he never fell for them again. What no one knew is why Nathan started playing the games he played. Not even his own brother knew. You see Nathan started playing games his sophomore year which would mean Lucas was a freshman. It all started Nathan's freshman year though, a year he would never forget and the year that changed the way he looked at girls. The end of this year would bring the emptiness to Nathan's solid blue green eyes. This year would determine all his years.

"Nate man you made the team congrats" Tim's voice sounded in the gymnasium

"Yeah it's pretty cool. Hey men even though I'm on varsity and you on JV were still going to be friends man don't be worried."

"Yeah I know"

"Nathan!" A girls voice shouted from behind him.

"Uh yeah I'm Nathan can I help you?" Nathan said as he walked toward the tall skinny blonde that called off his name.

"Yeah cool well I'm Brittany. Look there is a party tonight at my place to celebrate all the upcoming freshman onto varsity team. Here is the address. Be there at seven and don't be late. Oh and if you know what is good for you, you'll show up this party is mandatory got it?"

"Yeah I'm there. Thanks for the invite." He smirked as she handed him her address.

"Yeah well like I said don't be late." She walked away with a devilish grin plastered across her perfect features.

Nathan had no idea that the party was not a welcoming but a way to torture, humiliate, and initiate all new freshman members. He had no idea what that night would turn him into. He had no idea his friends would soon change and he was now part of a team that had exclusive parties and only dated certain girls.

"Brit who the hell is knocking don't they get that this is one of your parties? Why would they knock?" Brian stated as he stared down at the blonde beauty wrapped around his arms.

"Don't look at me must be one of the freshman. Wait until they find out what this party really is." The devilish grin appeared once again.

"Get your ass in here. No one is going to open the door for you freshy. You are our servant not the other way around." Brian yelped with a hint of a manipulative laugh.

What servant? Nathan thought to himself as he slid open the door.

"Hey guys what's up I'm Nathan." He stammered as he caught eye of the blonde girl who invited him.

"Yeah we know who you are now get down to the basement and get cleaning with the rest of the freshman." Brian laughed as he pointed and led Nathan down stairs.

"Okay little bitches let me introduce myself. I'm your new captain Brian. You want to hang out with the team or even be part of the team you have to survive tonight first. Your going to be stealing the other teams mascot tonight and then trashing their gym. Welcome to your freshman year of high school peasants let the games begin" Brian's evil eye lingered across the fresh meat as he said this.

2 hours later.

Nathan had done as told when something caught his eye.

Brian smacked Brittany hard across her left cheek. "Look Brittany I didn't cheat on you! Becky and I just talked got it?"

Nathan ran up behind Brian and pushed him.

"What the hell?" Brian stumbled to the ground and caught his breath.

"Your dead freshman! You better drop to the ground and grovel for forgiveness!" Brian scolded.

"The only one that is going to be dropping to the ground is you. If you ever so much as tap her shoulder again ill break your arm got it?" Nathan said through gritted teeth.

"My slut for a girlfriend and my problems do not concern you. You better get out of here before I show you and her what pain is? You think a little smack on her face is bad how about leveling her rescuer right in front of her face?"

Nathan punched him at the thought and the brawl was on. Nathan had him to the ground within minutes. After finishing off Brian he turned to Brittany.

" Are you okay? Did he hurt you bad?"

Through tears Brittany shook her head.

"No I'm fine. Thank you for helping me though."

From that second on Brittany and Nathan were inseparable. Nathan considered it the best night of his life. Little did he know Brittany wasn't as innocent as she seemed to be. Slowly throughout the process of a year she would tear his heart out. Brian wasn't kidding when he called her a slut and Nathan was about to figure out what he meant.
