Again, I want you to know that my story is not 100% accurate based on the actual TV series, One Tree Hill. The main character's ages are going to be changed so they are similar to fit my story line. ALSO! I know this is a long chapter, but I'm still deciding the length each of these will be. I own absolutely nothing (sadly) and most of my work is credited to the crew of OTH, the other parts being my individual ideas.

I made this chapter a little longer, maybe a lot longer-I can't really tell. Thanks for all the views though, they really mean a lot to me. :)

Davis and Jude arrived at school the next morning and began their daily walk through the quad. Davis made his way to Lydia's locker while Jude followed him.

"Hey look who it is," Lydia said to Sawyer, looking down the hall at Davis and Jude.
"Lyd, I told you we're just friends."
"That's not the look guys just give their friends."

"So you two hung out and it was a nice time. And nothing happened." Davis quietly said to Jude as they grew closer to the girls.
"Not even a little kiss when I dropped her off?"
"I mean...I don't think Sawyer would agree."
"But she'd have to. It would make it more convincing, right?"
"Jude, don't be an ass. Now hush."

"Hey Lyd. Did you talk to your mom last night?" Davis asked.
"Briefly, but I think things are going good. Just a few more days until we can finally be us again."
"That's good. I've been pretty bored this past day without you," he laughed.
Sawyer's mouth slightly opened, and Davis noticed. He quickly wiped the smiled off of his face, "ho-how are you anyways."
"I think the real question is how are you two?" Lydia smiled at Sawyer and Jude.
"We hung out and had a nice time. And nothing happens," Jude said seriously, emphasizing nothing.
Sawyer quickly swatted his arm, "we are just fine."
"Okay what happened. Something had to have happened. I want the truth."
"You want the truthful truth?" Jude asked.
A panic started inside of Sawyer, unaware of what Jude was about to say.
"Well first, I kissed Sawyer. It was kind of a heat of the moment thing, ya know? And then-for the first time in a long time-I actually asked Sawyer to be my girlfriend because I really like her. More than any other girl I've ever known. And she said-""I said no."
Lydia gasped and Jude looked at Sawyer.
"That's why we've been acting weird. Because we're trying to act like nothing happened and in reality something really did happen and no matter what I say or do I'm not going to forget it so pretending is a really unrealistic thing," once Sawyer stopped rambling she felt like she was going to cry. "I'm gonna get to class."
Once she was out of sight Lydia looked at Jude and Davis, trying to decide which of them was more hurt-looking.

After the bell rang, dismissing the students from their first period, everyone quickly scrambled out of the room. Jude stood and quickly followed Sawyer out of the door, stopping her in the hallway.
"What do you want," she sighed.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry. I don't know what happened that caused you to get upset, but I'm sorry."
"Jude, don't be sorry. It's not your fault. I deserved what you said. I shouldn't be hanging around with my cousin's boyfriend behind her back."
"Just don't hide it from her."
"I can't not hide it from her. No matter what she'll get mad. I brought this on myself so I'll have to get myself out of it."
"Let me help."
"I have to learn from my mistakes, so thanks but no thanks."
"Give me a chance, okay? I promise I won't let you down."
"How are you going to help me?"
"I mean, give me a chance. I want to get to know you. How about we go out on a date or something tonight? Please."
Sawyer thought about it for a minute, "I'll think about it. But I have to get to class. Thanks for listening, Jude."
"Let me walk you," he insisted.
"Well then let's go before we're late," Sawyer tried to look annoyed but couldn't help but let a smile escape her lips.

Davis sat down at lunch with his friends as he did yesterday. He looked around before he started to eat, figuring Sawyer wasn't going to sit with him. Before taking a bite of any food, he took one last glimpse around the room to double check-and that's when he saw it. Jude and Sawyer entered the cafeteria side by side, deep in conversation, even laughing a little. Didn't Sawyer hate him? His question was answered when the two shared a hug and parted ways.

"What was that?" Davis asked as Sawyer took the seat next to him.
"What do you mean?"
"I thought you hated Jude, but you actually looked like you like him back there."
Sawyer let out a sigh, "I'm giving him a chance."
"A chance at what?"
"Well first I gave him a chance at being friends and now we're going on a date tonight."
"That escalated really quickly. Are you sure you want to do that, Sawyer? Jude's kind of an ass, and though he may not seem like that now, that's just his way of getting into your bed."
"Well I don't care because he's treated me just fine."
"I know but-""Davis why does it even matter to you?"
"You're my friend, Sawyer. And I don't want my ass of a brother to trick you like the other girls he has."
"Trust me Davis, I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself."

They didn't talk for the remainder of their lunch bell, but the rest of the student's grew louder as a fight broke out in the middle of the room. It was between a familiar looking boy and a very large senior. Sawyer quickly stood up, a very worried look on her face. Davis stood up beside her.
"What's wrong?"
"What's that kid's name," she asked with the inability to peel her eyes away from the scene unfolded before them.
"Which one?"
"The one getting screamed at, about to get his ass beat! Davis what's his name!" she yelled.
Davis moved around to get a better look at the boy, and looked back at Sawyer, "that's Michael."
"McFadden?" Sawyer exclaimed.
"Yeah you know him?" Davis turned to Sawyer, only to see her pushing her way through the crowd around the boys.

Sawyer finally made her way to the center and ran to Michael, pushing him out of the way at the wrong time. As Michael fell to the floor he sat up and yelled as the senior's was already hitting her. She immediatly fell to the floor and Michael crawled over to her as the senior stood in shock at what he had just done. The students around gasped and Davis yelled her name in a panic. He pushed through the students as she did and once he reacher her he fell to his knees by her side.
"Sawyer!"
"I'm sorry about your girlfriend," the senior worriedly said to Davis.
Her eyes fluttered open, "what?"
Davis sat her up slightly, "are you okay?"
Sawyer felt her lip and looked at her fingertips to see the blood on them.
"Let's get you to the nurse," said Davis as he was now helping her stand up.
Michael who looked embarrassed as ever as he watched Davis help Sawyer up, "...thanks, Sawyer..."
She simply nodded in response.

On the walk to the nurse, Davis decided the silence needed to end between them.
"What was all that?" he asked.
"Well you obviously saw more than me," Sawyer awkwardly laughed.
"Are you friends with Michael or something?"
"We were friends, well best friends, when we were young. His parents did a lot of stuff with their show down in New Zealand, so he was there a lot and so we just became fast friends."
"That's pretty cool that you guys were kind of reunited. Not the way you were..."
"Yeah," she paused "this always happened to him. I thought when they moved it would get better. But it obviously didn't."
"Yeah, you can thank your new boyfriend Jude for that."
"What?"
"When Michael transferred here last year, Jude would beat him up pretty much daily."
"Davis you can try all you want, but nothing's going to change my mind right now."
"I'm not lying, I swear. If I'm being honest, I think you guys have a decent shot at working. He really likes you, more than any of the other girls he's been with. He'll try really had not to lose you."
"What's with all these other girls everyone keeps telling me about?"
"He just dated a lot of girls last year, and I know this really isn't something to advertise, but he's not a virgin."
Sawyer just stared at Davis as they had finally reached the room. "Then he'll just have to deal with it, wont he?" Then she quickly walked into the nurse's room.

Alas, the end of another day had arrived. Davis walked from his last period to Lydia's locker and waited. He finally saw his girlfriend walking down the hall toward him, so he flashed her a charming smile. But, once Lydia saw him, she quickly turned around and began walking the other direction. Davis started down the hall walking quickly and stopped her, turning her around gently to face him.
"What do you want?"
"What's wrong, Lyd? Did I do something?"
"Actually, yeah, you did. Thanks for asking."
"What did I do?"
"Did you forget that I have the lunch right after you?"
"No-I knew you did. Please just tell me whats wrong."
"As I was walking into the cafeteria, the fight broke out, so of course like any other student I stopped to see what was going on, because fights rarely happen here."
"Yeah..."
"The first thing I saw was Sawyer push that Michael kid out of the way and get punched in the face," Lydia paused to keep herself from crying, "and you shouted her name, and pushed through everyone just to get to her."
"Because she got punched by one of the biggest guys in our school, I was seeing if she was okay because nobody else seemed to want to jump in and do anything about it."
"And that's great, Davis, but when you yelled her name...the sheer panic and fear in your voice...you sounded so worried and terrified. Too terrified for a guy who's just a friend."
Davis said nothing.
"But the icing on the cake was by far when the senior apologized about your girlfriend, and you didn't deny it! You didn't say anything!"
"Because that wasn't my concern at the moment."
"Yeah, your new lover Sawyer was."
"No, my friend, and your cousin Sawyer was. I don't like her Lydia."
"Do you love her?" Lydia said, wiping the many tears from her cheeks.
"I love you, Lydia."
"Davis it's a yes or no!"
"It's really hurts that you'd even ask twice."
"Because you aren't answering the damn question, and that really leads me to think something's going on that I don't know about. Don't talk to me anymore because we're done! I hate you!" Lydia walked down the empty hallway sobbing as Davis stayed behind, recollecting.

When Lydia walked into her house, Sawyer was there sitting on the couch, waiting for her.
"Hey!" she smiled.
"How'd you even get home?"
"Jude took me," Sawyer stood and walked over to Lydia, "what happened? Why're you so upset?"
"Because my boyfriend loves you, god dammit!"
"How? I barely even know him, we literally just met yesterday!"
"Why do you seem so disgusted about it?"
"Because like I said, we barely know each other, and because I like Jude-not Davis."
"I would've given anything for him to have answered the simple yes or no question."
"Well I'm going out with Jude tonight, so maybe I could try to talk to him if you want?"
"Yeah, that's exactly what I want to happen."
"I'll have Jude do it."
"Whatever. Thank god it's Friday so I don't have to deal with him for two days."
"Well I'm really tired, so I'm gonna take a nap."

Sawyer walked out of the room and up the stairs to her current room. She pulled out her phone and shut and locked the door.
"Hello?" Davis answered.
"Why the hell did you tell Lydia you loved me?" she asked quietly.
"I didn't."
"Davis."
"She asked me if I loved you, and I said nothing."
"Why was she even asking anyways?"
"It's a long story. When can we hang out next?"
"I'm not hanging out with you until you secure things with Lydia."
"And Jude doesn't affect your answer?"
"Hey, I can do whatever I want because he and I aren't dating yet."

Jude picked Sawyer up around eight, and took her to a restaurant.
"Do you know what you're going to order?" he asked in an attempt to break the awkward silence.
"I'm just gonna drink my water," Sawyer smiled.
"You're not on one of those crazy Hollywood diets, are you?" Jude joked.
"No, I'm just weird on first dates."
"How so?"
"I just...okay it's really dorky but I get really nervous and so I get, like, butterflies, you know, and then I start to feel sick for god knows what reason so..." Sawyer looked up at Jude who was giving her a cute grin, "I'm just not hungry," she laughed.
"No keep rambling, it's kind of cute."
"No it's not, you're just trying to make me feel better."
"It really is. I remember when you were really mean to me in the bathroom the other day...and now you're so vulnerable. I find that really cute."
"Stop," she blushed.
"I'm not all that hungry, so do you just want to bail and go back to my house?"
"That's fine."

When they got back to Jude's that went to his room. They then sat side by side on his bed.
"So how about this chance thing?" Jude nervously smiled.
"What about it?"
"Well, I'm trying to see how my chances are looking. Maybe give me a score of 1-10, 1 being 'Just take me home now, I hate you'."
"I'd say a solid 9.5."
"And how exactly do I get that extra half point in my favor?"
"I don't know," Sawyer blushed.
"Would you deduct any if I kissed you right now."
"I'd start deducting if you wait any longer."
Jude leaned in and kissed Sawyer passionately. Within a few moments, they were laying on his bed-getting caught up in the moment.
"Jude, stop," Sawyer said breathlessly.
"What's wrong?"
"We can't..."
Jude nodded and let out a sigh, "I'm sorry."
"No-I'm sorry I totally just killed it," she said, standing and putting her tank top back on, "I'm not like the other girls because I don't just give it up to the first guy that I really really like," she began crying.
Jude stood and held her shoulders, "I don't care. That's not what matters to me. That's why I like you, you're different.
Sawyer finished pulling her skirt back on before letting out a relived sigh. "I should get home soon, Haley told me not to be out late."
"That's fine let me just get my things."
"Take your time, I'll be right back."

"Hey," Sawyer quietly spoke.
Davis stood up from his bed and walked over to Sawyer, "wow...you look..."
"Davis I just came to let you know I'm with Jude now. So go fix things with Lydia, because I dont want you. I want Jude. I didn't see him as friend material because I really liked him and that scared me a lot, so I kept lying to myself."
"Do you love him?"
"That doesn't really concern you, now does it. I'm going to go," she sighed as she turned out the doorway.
"Sawyer wait."
"What?"
"I'...I'm happy for you."
"Thanks."

Okay, so chapter 3 & 4 were both posted within 5 minutes, but that's okay. Like I said in chapter 1, I already have A LOT of this story written, so I can update really fast. And remember, the second paragraph in the intro of the chapters is sometimes kind of important...kind of. Thanks again for your views!
