Chapter 1

"Oh my gosh! He's back!" Haley exclaimed as she ran into Peyton's room. Me and Peyton were just looking at Cd's and secretly planning Nathan and Haley's surprise wedding

reception. The two had recently wed, without anyone knowing, except their parents. Peyton and I figured we needed to celebrate some how. We found this old club that hasn't been in

business for a long time. We started fixing it up, and Peyton is even considering making it into an all-ages club.

"Who's back?" Peyton asked. "Lucas Scott! Can you believe it? I thought he was gone for good!" Haley was acting so frantically, and for once, I couldn't tell if she was happy or not.

"No way! Where did you see him?" Peyton was freaking out now, too. "I was walking on the boardwalk with Nathan, and then he freaked out, and was like 'That's Lucas!' They man-

hugged and started talking about everything. I was 'Wow, you're back!' Lucas laughed, and said, 'Yeah, I guess I am.' I told Nathan that he and Lucas should catch up, and I'd talk to

them later." "Geez! That is crazy." Peyton sighed.

"Okay, who the hell is Lucas Scott?" I said, agitated. I was so confused. I had never heard of this person before. "Oh yeah! You weren't here when he was here. Or when he left. I

think you came into town like, a week after he left." Peyton answered. "Okay, well, who is he?" I asked, yet again. "He is Nathan's brother. He left-" Haley started to respond, but I cut

her off. "Wait, Nathan has a brother? Okay, now I am as confused as hell!" "Just let her explain." Peyton told me and then Haley started again. "Lucas and Nathan are half-brothers.

They have the same father, Dan, but different mothers. Dan married Nathan's mom, but had partial custody of Lucas. Nathan and Lucas grew up together, and Nathan was always the

bad-ass and Lucas was always the good boy. Anyway, in freshmen year, about a month before you came, Lucas started getting into bad stuff, like fights and drinking. He came to

school wasted and hung over, like, all the time. He was always the one to treat girls with respect, but then he started having all these random hookups. It was really weird. His mom,

Karen, and Dan decided to send him to live with his Uncle Keith for a change of pace. His Uncle Keith lives in Charleston. Even during Lucas' weird phase, he and Nathan remained close.

When Lucas left, Nathan really stared to become a better version of himself. All the transformations were really weird to watch. So, that's the story on Lucas Scott." Haley finished her

story, and I sat there stunned Who knew Nathan had a brother? Well obviously everyone except me. "Wow. Do you have a picture of him?" I asked Peyton. Peyton nodded her head,

and rummaged through one of her boxes of random pictures. She finally pulled one out, and showed me. "That's him." She pointed out a blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy. "Wait, he looks

familiar." I whispered. Peyton and Haley looked at me, now them confused. "Oh my gosh! I met him right when I got here." I said. "Oh, I guess you came, he was just leaving." Peyton

said. I was still looking at the picture. "So this is Lucas Scott, huh?" I asked once more for confirmation. "Yep. That's him." Haley replied "Asshole." I said, leaving both Peyton and Haley

stunned.
