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'm just going to continue restating that this story does get better, the beginning is slow, my writing is not so good, there's just a lot of things are wrong with it. So thank you for reading!

The next morning the doorbell rang at the Scott house, waking Nathan and Haley up at 7. They drouzily got out of bed and walked into the living room, where Haley slowly opened the door, surprised at who was on the other side.
"Hey Luke! What're you doing here so soon?"
"The house is all furnished and ready, so we figured we get Sawyer out of your hair a little early."
"Well come in, the girls are still asleep. Where's Peyton?"
Lucas stepped into their house and closed the door behind him, "she's at the house just putting up little decorations and all that stuff."
Nathan walked into the living room with coffee for Haley, "hey Hales who was at the do-oh hey Lucas."
"Hey Nate. How'd things go?"
Haley took a sip of her coffee, "not bad."
"Oh that's good."
"But she is kind of seeing someone," Nathan chimed in.
"What? Who?"
"One of Brooke's boys. Isn't that funny how things work? Sit down I can tell you want you want to know about him."
"Okay, well how are his morals?" Lucas sighed.
"Can we start with another question?" Haley laughed.
"If you want a quick summary, they're basically us as sophomores besides the whole rival thing we had," said Nathan.
"Please tell me she's dating the nice one."
"That'd be the one Lydia's dating," Haley smiled.
"Damn."
Just then Sawyer came down the steps, dressed nice and hair done, going somewhere in a rush. She came to a quick stop when she saw her father on the couch. "Dad? What are you doing here?"
"I'm picking you up, where are you going?"
"I was actually going to go...on a jog."
"You look awful nice to be going on a jog."
"I'm going to go pack my things actually," she sighed as she turned back up the steps.

Sawyer was slowly packing her things in her room when her phone rang. She quickly answered it and was happy to hear Jude's voice on the other end.
"Hey!"
"Hey Sawyer, I need to tell you something."
"You're not pregnant, are you?" she giggled.
"This is kind of serious."
"What is it, Jude?"
"I want to tell you in person. Are you home?"
"I'm kind of busy. Maybe we can talk tomorrow?"
"I'll just tell you now."
"What is it, you're scaring me."
"I decided I'm going to go to military school for 3 months."
"What!" Sawyer stood quickly from her bed, "why? Don't your parents normally ship you off after you commit some type of felony?"
"Last night my mom and dad sat me down and we had a long talk about how I don't know how to treat a girl properly and I need to learn, and when I tried to tell them I was changing for you they basically laughed in my face. And so I decided that this was the only way to prove my maturity to everyone."
"Are you really going to go, or are you going to just keep saying that and seem really serious so they believe you?"
"No, I'm going. I'm tired of being 'the bad one'."
"I guess I can't really stop you."
"So you'll support me?"
"Of course, Jude. I have to go, though."
"Alright, see you soon."
"Bye!"

Sawyer tossed her phone back onto the bed before sitting back down. She began looking around the room she stayed in. Even though it was a very short time spent in this room, she'd miss it. The room she and Lydia stayed up later than they should have at night having girly talks, and the room where she had come to the realization that she was in love for the first time.

"Lydia?" Sawyer hesitantly said as she walked into Lydia's room.
"What do you want," Lydia rolled her eyes.
"I wanted to thank you for being my friend. I'm sorry about everything. If I could change things."
"It's not your fault, really. It just kind of sucks that one day you meet someone and the next day, even though they barely know you, they fall in love with you over their long-term girlfriend."
"Lydia I know he still has strong feelings for you."
"He probably doesn't want me anyways...I told him I hated him."
"He knows you don't. Look, my parents are downstairs so I'm leaving soon and I just wanted to make sure things with my best friend were okay before I moved and you forget about me."
"Sawyer I literally have no friends how could I forget about you?"
"I'm going to miss you, Lyd," Sawyer smiled.
Lydia stood and put her hand on Sawyer's shoulder, "I'll miss you too. But if you end up with Davis I will come to your house, beat your scrawny ass, and then forget about you."
Sawyer quickly pulled Lydia into a tight hug, "I love you too."

The three adults remained in the living room, still talking and catching up. They were deep in conversation, that is, until the doorbell rang. Nathan stood and opened the door.

"Hey Jude!" he said loudly, making sure to catch the attention of his brother.
"Hi . Is Sawyer home?" Jude shyly asked, holding the flowers behind his back.
Just then Lucas stood and walked over to the door, gesturing Nathan to the side, "hi Jude, I'm Sawyer's father."
"Hi...other ," Jude said nervously.
"Watcha got behind your back there, son?"
"I...I have flowers."
"That's nice. Why don't you come sit and chat for a bit?"
"Jude, Sawyer's up in the guest room go on up honey," Haley smiled.
Jude looked at Lucas who gave him an approving nod before slowly walking up the steps.

"Knock knock?"
Sawyer looked up from packing to see Jude poking his head into the room, "get it here, dork."
Jude walked into the room, holding the flowers once again behind his back, shtting the door behind him with his foot, "we have important business to discuss."
"Is it about what's behind your back?"
"What's behind my back helps the cause, but it's much more important."
Sawyer stood up and walked over by Jude, "is it bad?"
"It could be..."
"Just tell me, dammit! I hate surprises."
"Okay well, how would you feel about being my girlfriend?"
"What?"
"Look, I know we don't know much about each other, and we really don't, but trust me I really like you and I just had this urge and it felt right. If you don't want to I'm okay with that and I understand I just wanted to mae sure you knew how strong my feelings for you are."
"This was sudden..."
"Is that good or bad? I'm dying here."
"Jude I really like you too, but-""But you'd rather just be friends, huh?"
"No, but I'm just worried about some other things."
Jude's lips formed a frown as he let out a deep sigh.
"I'd love to."
The frown quickly flipped into a smile, "really?"
"Yes," Sawyer laughed.
Jude set the flowers down on the desk in the room and pulled Sawyer into a long kiss.

Lucas quietly came up the stairs of Nathan and Haley's house toward the room Sawyer had been staying in for the past few days. He noticed the door was closed and immediately thought of all of the bad things that could be going on in the room. He crept the short distance down the hall and laid his hand on the doorknob before quickly pushing the door open. The sight before him was surprising. Sawyer was sitting on one end of the bed and Jude was sitting in the desk chair almost all the way across the room.
"Can I help you, dad?"
"I was just trying to scare ya," Lucas smiled.
"Try harder next time."
"You ready to go?"
"Uh yeah give me a few minutes."
"Alright," Lucas left the door wide open and walked back down into the living room.
"Well, I guess we'll have to get together soon, huh?" Sawyer asked as she stood and walked over to her bag.
"Definitely. Let me carry your bag downstairs," smiled Jude, quickly grasping the handle.
"Jude I got it, it's not heavy."
He let go of the handle and let out a sigh.
"How's tomorrow?" she asked.
"That's the thing. I'm leaving tomorrow."
"What!"
"I know it's sudden, but-""You're damn right it's sudden! I'm not even okay with it, Jude! I haven't even let it sink in!"
"You're not okay with it?"
"I want you to go just...not tomorrow. I still feel like you're a stranger."
"Well tonight I thought maybe we'd go on double date?"
"With who?"
"Lydia and Davis, who else, silly goose?"
"They're in the rough right now, Jude. I don't know if it's really good timing."
"I'm trying to help. C'mon just persuade Lyd."
Sawyer sighed, "okay. Let's get going. I'll walk you to your car."

"Two doors down? Isn't that a band?" Jude laughed.
"A good one too. I'll be ready at 8. Actually I'll just walk over a little before."
"See you then, girlfriend," Jude winked. He gave Sawyer another passionate kiss before getting into his car.

Sawyer walked into the unfamiliar house, and looked around. She liked their house in New Zealand that they shared with her grandma Karen.
"Hey honey," Peyton smiled.
"I don't like it."
"You liked the pictures on the website, what's wrong with it?"
Sawyer merely shrugged.
"Your room's all painted and your furniture's moved in. I didn't put your clothes or anything away because I didn't really know where you wanted it."
"Thanks. Is it alright if I go to dinner tonight with some friends?"
"I don't see why not."
"Thanks again!" Sawyer quickly ran up the steps to try make her new room feel welcoming.

"Are you seriously still sleeping?" Jude laughed as he entered Davis' room.
"Go away, Jude. It's Saturday and I'm tired as hell."
"Yeah well it's 1:30 so I'd recommend getting up."
Davis quickly sat up, "already?"
"You don't look too hot, little brother."
"Jude...have you ever just wanted to be with a girl but you know you have no chance?"
"That's why I'm here. I'm gonna help you get that girl."
"Really? You're okay with that?"
"Yeah, you and Lyd were pretty rockin' together. I figured since I'm leaving tomorrow we could go to dinner tonight, like a double date."
"Double date? Who are you going to bring?"
"Sawyer. Who is, as of this morning, my girlfriend," Jude proudly said.
"Good luck getting Lydia to go, she's the one who's mad at me."
"That's Sawyer's job. I have some packing to do, so I'm gonna go. Be ready by 8!"

Once Sawyer had finished her room, she called Lydia in hopes to persuade her to go to their planned dinner. It took a while and a few little white lies to get her to come to an 'I'll think about it' status. And a little but more effort from Sawyer finally resulted in 'if I go will you hang up?'. Just like that, Sawyer convinced Lydia to go.

"You look really...Jude," said Davis.
"And you look like a doofus. Or should I say, a Davis?"
"Ha-ha. You're gonna look like a doofus when you show up under-dressed as hell."
Jude shook his head and began brushing his hair.
"You need to shave your face, scruffy."
He set the brush down and felt his cheeks, "shit! I totally forgot to! I was supposed to start walking to meet Sawyer now!"
"Sounds like you have an issue," Davis laughed.
"Please Davis, do this for me."
"I'm not shaving your face."
"No go meet Sawyer, bring her in and I'll probably be done by that time."
"Fine."

Thanks for the views! The high number has really been motivation for me to continue updating the story when I can. Chapter 6 with most likely be posted tonight, I promise. Be sure to leave reviews on what you think so far, I'm pretty curious.
