Hey, Thank you all for so many of the reviews!

This chapter might get confusing, as will the next few so read them very carefully, and if you read them over--you might just get it completely wink, wink...Most of you got confused who the "L" was...I guess we'll find out, now right? Anyways, in every chapter the beginning will be going back in time. It is NOT a flashback, it's kind of like a movie when the time changes. If it is a flashback, I will say flashback..Thank you for the amazing reviews, and I have some more news on the end of this chapter.

Chapter 2: You Never Lied to Me Not Once…

7 Years Ago…

"This is the last song of the night…" the D.J. announced. "Congratulations Grads!" "Last Dance" by Donna Summers came on, and the tears were brought on.

Nathan looked around the room at his brother and Brooke who were in a liplock, Peyton who was clinging onto Jake for dear life and couldn't help but wonder where Haley was. Nathan went outside the school determined to find her, and found her sitting on the steps in front of the school.

"What's up?" Nathan asked the girl who he'd been in love with for his whole high-school career.

Haley smiled and tried to wipe all of the tears pouring out of her eyes, "I'm just sad. To see it all end, you know?"

Nathan smiled, "It's weird. I mean, the six of us won't even be going to school together next year."

Haley shook her head, "I hope we all keep in touch."

Nathan nodded, "Me too."

"Look…Nathan, I've been meaning to talk to you…for a while now. And I've got the courage up tonight. And…I know I'm really inappropriate and late and at bad timing, but I need to tell you," Haley said.

"Go ahead, Hales," Nathan said.

"Do you know how for the past 4 years, you've been…trying, or asking…me," Haley paused and laughed, "to be your girlfriend?"

Nathan laughed, "Yeah."

Haley shook her head, and put her head in her hands, "This is going to be so awkward."

"Try it," Nathan encouraged, eager to hear what she was about to say.

"I've been wanting to say yes," she whispered looking at him. "I've had these crazy feelings for you since the summer before 9th grade."

Nathan looked into Haley's eyes, shocked, "What? Then how…Why haven't you…?"

"Peyton, Nathan…I told you…she's crazy about you," Haley told him.

"Haley!" Nathan whined, "I understand that and you're a great friend for not doing anything. But what about your happiness?"

"Nathan, don't you think I haven't thought about it? We could've been dating for a while now. I mean…" Haley trailed off.

"I love you, Haley," Nathan said.

Haley smiled, than her face instantly turned into a frown, "No, Nathan. It's too late…I'm too late.. And-"

Nathan cut her off by kissing her.

Present

"This is my girlfriend, Haley…and her best friend, Brooke," Chris said, and when he saw the looks on the faces of the three other people, and confusion struck him. Realization hit him when he thought back of that picture his girlfriend showed him one day prior.

Brooke was the only one who even made a noise, "L—?"

Brooke then laughed, "Look at this! Can you believe this?"

Nathan stood with his mouth wide open, "Haley."

Haley stood uncomfortably shifting from one leg to the other.

"Yes, that's Haley, and I'm Brooke, and your Nathan! Good job smartass, now tell me what the hell you're doing here!"

"You're the girlfriend!" Nathan yelled at Haley.

"And you're the best friend?" Haley asked "Holy shit."

Brooke stood there laughing, shocked at the whole situation, "This is so frigging wrong."

"Nathan-you went to high school with them?" Chris asked.

"I went to grammar and high school with them," Nathan said.

"So shouldn't you guys be hugging and stuff?" Chris asked.

The Airport…

Lucas left the plane and smiled at the craziness outside of the airport.

"New York, here I am.." Lucas thought to himself.

Somewhere in New York..

Jake and Jenny walked into the stadium and sat in their seats when Jenny looked over and smiled at the girl next to her, "Nicole?"

"Jenny?" she asked back.

"Hey!" Jenny said throwing her arms around her friend.

Outside of the airport..

"I said I want a TAXI. T-A-X-I, do you understand that?" Lucas saw a girl scream into her phone.

"Hard time?" Lucas asked as the girl turned around smiling at him until she realized who he was.

"Lucas?"

Lucas looked shocked at the girl next to him, "Peyton."

Back at the restaurant…

Brooke smiled, "Yeah. Either hugging or throwing each other's clothes off."

Haley groaned, "Brooke!"

Nathan smirked at Haley and Haley through him a dirty look, "This is way too weird, I'm out of here," Haley said.

"Wait, Hales," Chris said.

"I'll call you later," Haley called.

"Haley!" Nathan groaned.

"No, this is way too weird," Haley yelled.

In front of an apartment building…

"Thank you!" Peyton said to the taxi cab driver who just helped her with her bags and looked around the apartment building.

"Well, well, well…We meet again," Lucas said behind Peyton.

"What the hell are you doing?" Peyton said grabbing her chest.

"I live here," Lucas said than realization hit him, "You do too?"

The Car…

"This is freaky," Haley said from the passenger seat, who was shaking.

Brooke shook her head, "Are you kidding me? This is frigging awesome! This has to be like karma. This was totally something on a t.v. show!" Brooke said as she parked the car.

"I need junk food," Haley declared opening the door to the store next to her building, Brooke following her in.

"I know," Brooke said laughing, "First-I think I see Jake-than you think you see Nathan, and then Chris's best friend ends up to be Nathan! Man! This is some screwed up shit!"

Haley turned around from the chips and looked at Brooke, "This is so screwed up, I need to make up a new word for it!"

"What's next—Lucas and Peyton?" Brooke asked.

Haley laughed, "Imagine that," she said walking into someone, "Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't…" she paused, "Brooke you might wanna come over here."

Brooke came over, still laughing and stopped when she saw her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend standing in front of her, "Holy shit."

Author's 2nd Note:

The L--? Was meant to say the Look at this. Can you believe this So if you get confused the dashes were taking the place of the next lines. Anyway, please remember this chapter, because more is coming out in the next. There is a lot of tension, history and problems for the gang to talk through, and it won't be a while until every part of the puzzle is solved. A lot of unanswered questions are still here: What happened all those years ago with Lucas and Peyton? We know from the previous chapter what happened with every note, so here's a quick review: Peyton threw it away, Lucas threw it away, Nathan never saw it and Brooke went. What happened with Jake? Do Nathan and Haley still have lingering feelings for one another? How do Jenny and Nicole know each other? Do you even remember who Nicole is? (lol) What happens when Nathan and Haley are forced together? Which 2 friends make up the quickest? What happens when the six friends are once again in the same room, for the first time since the "Dirty Little Secrets" came out? How will everyone react to each other? How will everything end up settling? And who has a happy ending?

All these questions will be answered, but feel free to answer this one question in your review...Which two friends make up the quickest?

Anyways, off to my second part of business...

"Damaged" is complete. After finishing this, I'm off to update it. After "Damaged" I'm going to spend a little more time on this story--I know where I want it to go, but I need to make some more decisions, about how long will I drag out some couples, etc. Things like that.

After this story, I have 2 stories up my sleeve, both of which have received mouth opening responses. Everytime We Touch, will be soon and after that, a AU, changing some things about the show we love, called "Don't Bother."

So, I'm off to UD DAMAGED, so if you want to know who's pregnant- CHECK IT OUT!
