Back again! Thank you so much to those who reviewed! It meant a lot!

Brooke

I've been your best friend since we were eight. I saved you from that little Buttons boy when he was bullying you and together we hatched a plan to take the piss out of his last name, but we never thought of anything, although I'm sure we could now. I was your best friend when you fell in love with Nathan. Back when Lucas and I were dating he would tell me things he overheard at practice about you and when I confronted you about your first kiss you blushed from head to toe, but nothing could wipe that smile off your face.

"Brooke!" You screamed as you barged into my living room, interrupting an intense Brucas make out session. "My parents are leaving town!"

"Hales you can stay with me!" I heard a voice say as the door slammed shut.

I knew Haley too well, well enough to see her scoffing at Nathan even though she had her back to me.

"Nathan I am not staying with you! I am your tutor for goodness sake, I'll just stay here with Brooke." A smile spread across my face as you said this.

"Actually you cant." Your face was a picture. "Lucas is staying here."

"Wha- But…I'm your best friend!" I chuckled when you stuttered with nerves, but it proved that you wanted me to say these things.

"Haley." I said pulling you by the arm into the bathroom. "I know you better than you think."

"Brooke-"

"Look if at any moment you are uncomfortable living with Nathan just call and I'll come get you, plus its only for two weeks."

I watched you ponder this for a moment. "Thanks Brookie." You grinned and pulled me into a hug. "Oh God how weird is this me staying with my student-"

"Boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend." You pouted and I laughed.

"Whatever Hales, he kissed you."

"So! Only once! Oh come on you know better than anyone a kiss doesn't mean anything."

"Hey! I would be offended by that… but you've said worse. But unlike me, Nathan Scott only kisses girls he likes."

You cocked an eyebrow at me. "You sure?"

"Well…"

"See!"

"Hales give it a shot okay? You'll have a great time." There was that grin again, the one you couldn't hide, the one that only Nathan got. "Now leave so me and Lucas can get back down to business!"

"Eww!" You laughed as I shoved you out of the bathroom and back into the living room where Nathan and Lucas were sitting in a totally awkward silence.

"Great. Hales, you ready?" Nathan stood up and sighed, probably grateful for the save.

"Sure, are we doing English today?"

"Yeah…"

"Great!" You laughed and received weird looks off all of us. "What? I want to teach English."

"Uh huh." I rolled my eyes and you scoffed at me.

"Byeee!"

"See ya Naley!" I shouted as you guys walked out and you gave me a confused look.

"Honestly." I turned back to Lucas. "Its like I'm spelling out their own love story!"

"Maybe that's what they need." Lucas smiled.

"Yeah…maybe."

About four nights later, in the middle of the night, you called me and asked me to come and pick you up because you were uncomfortable. When I asked why you hesitated until you said you were cold. I laughed so hard, at least you were honest, but I told you that had nothing to do with Nathan and hung up.

I came round in the morning and given that I had a key to the Scott mansion I walked right on in. Do you know where I found you? In bed, of course, but Nathan was lying next to you, his arm draped across your waist. Your back was pressed tightly against his chest and even though you were asleep, you were smiling.

Meanwhile I was trying not to squeal. I was pretty sure that neither of you would have any idea how you ended up like that, but I was also sure that either of you would want to let go.

You told me once, and I have no idea why, that blind people dream. In that moment when I saw you two lying so closely and so comfortably I wondered if maybe you were dreaming about your blossoming love, which neither of you seemed to be able to see yet.

I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote:

Haley James- possibly-future-Scott.

Call me with details ;o)

I still have that note. I think I may have framed it. But I told you later that day, when you called sixteen times to tell me nothing had happened and you had no idea how the hell you got there, that I'd show you that note at the wedding. As it turns out, Nathan had come into your room to check on you after the heating crashed again that week and you were shivering. He couldn't find any blankets and you told him not worry, that you'd just wrap your arms around yourself because body heat is more effective than blankets. After a brief argument you let him get in the bed with you. And, tutor-girl, I think that's the smartest move you've ever made.

Nathan didn't know anything about you when you met. Well he knew what you looked like and that you played with that pinkie ring of yours, but I think everyone knew that, a couple of dorks actually named you Pinkie. It was a cliché really, him being captain of the basketball team and you being the cute little book-worm, who happened to be best friends with captain of the cheer squad and school president, Brooke Davis. People say it should have been Nathan and I, but neither of us wanted it to be. If it was meant to be, it would. Fate isn't your friend, but its not your enemy. And that's why your love for each other was unavoidable and unbreakable. It shocked people, but you didn't care. Even though you wouldn't admit it, you knew that it was the beginning of something that scared the hell out of you, but made your life worth living. I wish you could just hold onto that thought now.

I 100% promise the next chapter will reveal loads more about this story! It will also be longer. And also the more reviews I get, the faster I will update. So please review if you want to know more! Anonymous reviews are accepted so please be gracious :o) xxxx
