On With Chapter One...

Chapter One: Where Are You?

A blonde haired girl walked down the street with her head hung low and arms wrapped around her waist. Her hair swayed just a little past her shoulders in small waves. As she walked she stared at the ground below her feet, thinking abut her past, her mother, her life. Everything. Her past was most definately not a good one. Her mother died when she was just a baby and she hasn't seen her father for going on three weeks, and her life was not so great. But she did have some really great people to make up for all the bad. She had her Lucas, her boyfriend, Peyton, her best friend, and Sam, her brother.

The girl's thoughts were broken by two strong, toned arms wrapping themselves around her waist. She smiled when she felt the person behind her kiss her softly on the cheek.

"Hey Lucas." The stopped walking and turned around in his arms.

"Hey babe, what you thinking about?" Lucas leaned down and kissed his 'babe' gently and lovingly on the lips.

"Nothing, just things?"

"What kind of things?"

"All kinds of things." The girl turned around and walked away from Lucas.

Lucas quickly caught up with her and wrapped an arms around her waist, "Hales, what's up?"

"I'm just worried. About my dad. His been gone for about three weeks and I haven't heard a word."

"Haley, your dad is fine, he is probably just really busy." Lucas looked down on her and saw her eyes. They were the picture of a broken girl. "Haley, look at me." He tilted her head to him, "Your dad is fine, he is probably to focus on work right now. You never know, he could be sitting a motel room thinking about you, wondering if you are okay. So relax, okay?" Haley smiled up at him and nodded her head.

Later that day, Haley and Peyton were hanging out in Peyton's room. Haley was in Peyton's walk-in closet, looking at some of her old collection of records. Peyton was lying across her bed, drawing away on her sketchboard. Haley walked out of Peyton's closet and over to the bed. Peyton was into her drawing that she didn't realize Haley walking over to her until she felt an extra weight being added onto the bed. She quickly moved the sketch out of Haley's eye sight and turned around.

"Yes Hales?"

"Nothing. Just wondering what you are drawing."

"Well you aren't gonna find out until I am finshed." Peyton stuck her tounge out and Haley, Haley reciptated Peyton's action.

"So, any word from your dad?"

"No." Peyton could sense a sadness in Haley's voice.

"Are you okay? You know you can talk to me."

"I'm just worried. What if his hurt, Peyt? What if he got lost somewhere and could find a signal on his phone? What if-"

"-he is just as worried about you? Have you tried calling?"

"Yeah, three times last week, twice the week before that, and once yesterday." Haley stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

"And no answer." Haley nodded her head. Peyton gave a sad smile as she gave Haley a big hug. "Everything is fine, Haley. I sure you dad is fine."

Haley nodded her head against Peyton's shoulder, "Thanks Peyt."

The next day, Lucas sat in his bedroom at Peyton's Uncle Keith's house. He was staring at the ceiling thinking about his life the past few days. Haley's dad, his brother and dad, and other things. He smiled to his self when he remember the day he had met Haley at school his freshman year.

Flashback

Lucas walked the halls of Tree Hill High. They were currently empty, mainly because had arrived a little early. As he turned the corner he noticed to girls standing in front of the lockers, located next to each other. One was tall with curly blonde hair and an undertone of black. The other one was average height with long wavy blonde hair that ended at her shoulders. The tall blonde had a slender body, thin arms and chicken legs. The smaller blonde, on the other hand, was very fit. Her body was curved in all the right ways, very petite. Lucas couldn't help but let his eyes wonder down her body and stop. 'Oh My God.' Lucas thought as his eyes gazed upon the small blonde girl's ass.

Lucas finally tore his eyes away from the girl's ass and walked up to the girls. He slowly walked up behind the small blonde and the taller girl noticed him first. She didn't say anything but she tapped the small blonde on her shoulder. She turned around slowly and jumped when she saw Lucas standing behind her.

"Is there something I can help you with?"

Lucas just stared at the girl in front of him, completely mesmorized by her beauty, her eyes, her lips. She was breath taking. "Hello, dude. Could you stop staring at me like that?"

"Could you stop looking so beautiful?" Lucas smirked slyly as he leaned against the lockers.

Haley laughed as she closed her locker. "Whatever. Peyton let's go."

"Wait. Wait!" Peyton and the other girl stopped.

"What?"

"What's your name?"

"Why do you need to know?"

"Cause I need to know the name of my new girlfriend" Lucas smirked again, causing Haley to laugh.

"Like that will ever happen." She said to Peyton. "My name is Haley, Haley Sawyer."

Lucas smiled widened, "My name's Lucas, Lucas Winchester."

Haley's face stiffened as she and Peyton walked away.

End Of Flashback

Haley walked up to the side door of the house which lead to Lucas's room. Haley walked inside, unnoticed by Lucas until she plopped down on the bed next to him and placed her head on his chest. Lucas shook his head and stared down at Haley. Her hair was in a loose ponytail and from what he could see, her eyes were closed.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lucas brushed his hand over Haley's hair, placing a loose strand behind her ear.

"Nothin'. I just wanted to see you." Haley smiled in Lucas's chest.

"As much as I love that you wanted to see me, what is going on with you? You seem distant lately."

Haley sat up and stared Lucas in the eyes. Lucas instantly took notice that something was wrong, "What is it? Is everything okay?"

"It's Sam." Haley paused. "His girlfriend died last night. The same my mom did."

Lucas could see the tears in her eyes and quickly wrapped her in a loving embrace. He softly kissed her hair, whispering to her that everything will be okay, things were gonna be fine.

As the day grew, Lucas and Haley spent the day waiting. Waiting for Sam to come home from school. They were currently sitting on Haley's front porch, Lucas' arm drapped over Haley's waist and Haley snuggled into his chest. They had been sitting there for about a half an hour or so.

After another 20 minutes a Greyhound bus pulled onto the street and stopped in front the house. Haley and Lucas stood as the doors opened and Sam walked out. Haley moved out of Lucas' arms slowly, walking to meet Sam. As soon as she reached him she wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his shoulder.

"I am so sorry Sam." Haley whispered softly.
Sam smiled into her hair, lifting her off the ground, happy to see his little sister again.

Sam walked into the apartment and smiled when he saw a plate of cookies placed on the nightstand. He heard the shower turn on and smiled wider glad to be home. He sat down on the bed and closed his eyes, only to have them open once again. He could not believe his eyes when he saw his girlfriend stuck to the ceiling a bloody gash in her stomach.

"No! Jess, no!!!" Sam screamed at the ceiling as flames grew around Jess' body. Engolfing her and the apartment in flames.

Haley woke with a start. She looked around her room and saw Lucas' sleeping form next to her. She quietly dot out of the bed and walked into Sam's room. She walked over to his bed and laid down. Sam opened his eyes and saw Haley staring over at him with fear in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Haley just moved closer to Sam, wrapping her arms around his waist, and started to cry. "It's okay, it's okay Hay. I'm here."
