Hi guys! Thanks for the great reviews (: It really helped me to write this chapter. Sorry it took me a little bit to get it up, but I've been really busy. Anyway this chapter will be about a month into the future, and I know you guys are probably wondering about Naley's relationship status…I will try to explain it a lot more in this chapter. Well hope you guys like it! R&R!?

Peyton's POV;

I smiled softly as I witnessed the interaction between Nathan, Jamie, and Tyler. It had been exactly a month and 3 weeks since the terrible accident that changed everyone's lives forever. Ever since the day Nathan and Haley had "reconciled", things had been getting better. Sure, everyone still had their bad days, especially Haley and Nathan, but they always tried to remember that their little girl was in a better place and she would always be in their hearts.

"Hales, that dinner was by far the best meal I have had in a very long time." I said as I finally finished the last piece of chicken on my plate. Haley and Nathan had invited me, Lucas, Brooke, and Skillz over tonight for dinner.

"Hey! What about the dinner I made last night!?" Lucas said looking at me.

"Oh yeah, burnt lasgna really beats this out."

"It wasn't burnt! It was…crunchy!"

"Alright, enough you two, and thank you Peyton." Haley said laughing, getting up to pick up all the plates.

"No way Hales, you made dinner, me and Luke will pick up the plates. You guys go into the living room." I said getting up.

"Peyton…"

"Go Haley." I demanded playfully pointing to the living room.

"Okay…" she finally agreed and went to join Nathan and her kids in the living room.

Haley's POV;

One month. It had been one month since the worst day of my life. It had been one of the longest, most painful month's of my life, but somehow I had made it through. I had to admit, it was all because of Jamie and Tyler that I surprisingly pulled through. They had showed how much they still needed me, and how much I needed them. Also my fantastic friends helped me make it. Without Brook, Lucas, Peyton, and the rest of the gang by my side, I don't know were I would be. Then there was Nathan. I think we both helped each other so much, because he was the only one who felt the pain almost as much as I did. Even though he had been living at the house ever since our "reconsiliation", he had been staying in the guest room. Honestly, I wasn't sure exactly were our relationship was at right now. I had let him back into my life, but that still didn't mean I wasn't still hurt about what he had done to me, what he had done to our family.

"You okay?" Brooke asked me, breaking me away from my thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm good." I said looking up at her. I always knew how good of a friend, and god mother Brooke was, but over the past month she had really reminded me why I loved her so much.

"Hey Mom, I'm kind of tired. I'm going to sleep now okay?" Tyler said as he came up to me. I looked into he dark brown eyes, and didn't see the same little boy I had seen a few months ago. Allie's accident caused a lot of people to change. I had definitely changed, Nathan, even Brooke, Lucas and Peyton had. But Tyler…he had changed more then anyone, and not in the best way. He had always been a little closed off, just like Nathan, and mellow. Ever since the accident though, he has been even more closed off, and I can tell how much he is still hurting, and it hurts me. He has also given up the one thing he has loved ever since he could hold a ball; basketball. I never thought the day would come, especially not when he was still young, but I understand why he did. Basketball had always been him and Allie's thing. It's what made them even closer then they already were. Jamie liked basketball too, but he was into football more, Tyler and Allie loved it. I'll never forget the day Nathan had taken all three of them to the river court. It was the day I knew how much they truly loved the game.

Flashback;

I smiled, for what seemed like the 100th time that day, as the kids quickly got out of the car and sprinted towards the sacred black top. Nathan had just come back after being away for two weeks for camp, so we decided on a family day. We had gone out for lunch earlier at the Outback, and now we were at the kid's favorite place in probably the whole world, the river court.

"Come on daddy! Hurry up!" Allie yelled from the court. Me and Nathan we're just getting out of our new, much needed,SUV; a black escalade . That had been Nathan's dream car since he was a kid, according to him.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." He said as he wrapped his arm around my waist, as we headed towards the kids.

"Go play with our kids." I said to him.

He smiled, gave me a quick kiss on the lips, and started to play.

I sat on the bench an hour later, still enjoying watching my kids and husband playing. Nothing made me happier then watching them play the game they all loved so much, especially Nathan, Tyler, and Allie. Jamie really liked basketball, but he had grown to love football more. I wasn't exactly sure I wanted my youngest son playing a sport that required so much physical contact, but the first time I saw him play, I knew how much he loved it. Him being a Scott, was the best on his team, and maybe even the best quarter back in the pee-wee league. Nathan hadn't minded at all that Jamie loved it more the basketball as long as his son was happy. He also knew Jamie had a future in it. Then there was Tyler and Allie. They had inherited Nathan's love and passion for basketball. Whenever they we're playing, the look on their faces just showed it all. Tyler was an 8 year old playing on a u-10 elite basketball team. Once again, I was a little hesitant about letting him play with older kids, but Nathan assured me that with his skill, he would be just fine. Since Allie was only 5, she had just joined her first team. The Lady Bears. Even though she was so young, just like Tyler, her skill was evident. I smiled to myself, as I realized I had just bragged to myself about my own kids. Sometimes I just couldn't help it, I just love them to damn much. My thoughts were interrupted, by Nathan's voice calling me.

"Hales, come play with us." He smirked. Why did he have to ask, really? He knew I sucked!

"Yeah momma, come on, play!" All three of my kids chanted as they backed up their father. His smirk grew bigger, because he knew I would never say no to them.

"Okay…" I gave in, and went to go join my family.

End of Flashback;

I felt tears starting to well up in my eyes, but quickly pushed them back. My bad days were usually when I thought of all the old memories, or found something of Allie's lying around. I tried my best not to think about them, but sometimes it was just too hard. I looked around the living room, and noticed that Tyler had gone upstairs. 'I'll go check on him when everyone is gone.' I said to myself. I noticed Jamie sitting next to me on the couch, and pulled him onto my lap.

"Hi momma." He smiled up at me with his toothy grin.

"Hey baby." I said and kissed his cheek. I never felt better then when I was with my children.

"Well what do you guys want to do?" Nathan asked breaking the uncommon silence of the group.

"Oh I got an idea!" Brooke said out loud.

"Of course she does…" we all muttered quietly trying not to laugh.

"How about we play a game of I never? We haven't done that since like high school." she said. I looked at her, silently reminding her that Jamie was still in the room.

"An appropriate game of I never." She said correcting herself. Everyone laughed, and nodded their heads in agreement.

I smiled once again. Being around my friends always gave me a good sense of relief, relief that I had really needed over the past month.

TADA! There's ch 5! Sorry it was kind of short! But I really have to study for midterms which are coming up soon…that also may mean updates maybe a little late, but I will really try my best! But don't worry they only last 4 days, so once there done everything will be back to normal! Next chapter Tyler's feelings will be showed more, and there will be a lot of Nathan/ Jamie. Well I hope you guys liked it! R&R!?
