After the first part of this chapter you will see that it tells you who is in the scene or whatever you would call it, I did that because this is all happening at the same time. I can't really write what they are all doing at the same time if they are at different places. I hope it makes since.

Enjoy. = D

Chapter 11-

"Hey, we're going to play a quick game. Wanna join us?" Lucas asked him.

Nathan looked at him, "yeah, sure" he said. "I'll be there in a minute" he told him, with that Lucas walked out the double doors to the backyard.

They had been living together for so long, by now they had learn to just get along. It didn't mean they were good friends, but they definitively got along. The whole thing started because they knew that they were both important to Haley, but in the ended they liked each other. They got along great. They also came to know that the only reason they really hated each other, was because of Dan. Yes Dan, Nathan's controlling father, the same one that never claimed Lucas. If they had put Dan at side before, they would probably would've been friends a long time ago.

Nathan walked out and saw Lucas, he was playing with Mouth, Skills, and Jake. Nathan was actually surprised that Skills and Mouth were even together, after the whole thing with Bevin they hadn't spoken much.

It had turned out that when drunken Bevin flirted with Skills, it was because she actually liked him. The kiss had totally meant something, she liked him and she knew it. No one really understood why she didn't just tell Mouth, after all they didn't have anything official going on. Mouth knew perfectly clear that they were just make out buddies, it never got further than that.

Once Nathan reached the half court Lucas passed him the ball, he held it up and with one simple flick of the hand he scored. The ball went right in the basket, nothing but net.

"Let's shoot for teams" Lucas said.

Jake grabbed the ball, which had landed a on the lawn behind the basketball hoop. Running back to them he began to speak when he was close enough for them to hear, "how about we do Scotts against us" he said motioning his hand between him and skills.

"Sound good to me" Nathan said.

"Ok then, it's settled" Mouth said into his invisible microphone, "ladies and... well just ladies, you are about to see the first game ever in which both Scott boys will play together. Both Scott boys have been playing for the school team for a year, Lucas joined the Ravens last year, while Nathan has been playing since freshmen year."

The girls sat on the lawn at the edge of the half court and watch, they also laughed at Mouth's comment. It was funny how he was the only guy in the house who did not play.

"So are you guys exited for senior year?" Peyton asked, all in all she was the only one who got along with everyone.

"Yes" Haley said exited.

"I am, this year the squad is going to rock" Brooke said, "I can't wait for Claire Young to see what we have this year."

'I'm just glad a have at least one friend" Rachel pointed out, she was after all the new girl. And let's be honest when you're in high school no one likes the new girl, in a way it feels like people get threaten by the new girl.

"What about you Bevin?" Haley asked, the girl was so distant. She seemed so out of it lately.

Bevin had finally told Mouth all about Skills, she told him about the kiss and how she always wanted to know how it would feel. She also told him that she thought that she might have feelings for Skills but she never told him because she didn't want to hurt him. Mouth was a good guy, and no one ever wanted to hurt him. Bevin felt good after she told him, she felt like she could finally be honest with him.

"I guess" Bevin said.

"Bev, are you okay?" Brooke questioned, she crawled to Bevin's side.

Bevin just nodded. She knew she had been distant the past week, but she still socialized with them.

"Well, I think this year is going to rock" Peyton said, "I have a boyfriend" she pointed out. Just thinking about Lucas brought a smile to her face, "I've made new friends" she brought Haley to a side hug, "and it's the last year of high school."

"What about me?" Brooke looked at her friend.

"Of course, how could I forget. I will have my best friend with me" Peyton pointed out. The rest of the girls just laughed.

"The only crappy thing is that when we get out of this house in a week, we have cheer auditions the next week" Brooke said with a disgust face, "I hate try outs people usually suck."

"Why don't you make this two cheerleaders?" Bevin questioned.

Brooke thought about it, Bevin had a good point. Sure she wasn't the brightest bulb in the tanning bed, but she sure had a good point. If she put Haley and Rachel in the squad then she didn't have to go through the whole try out problem, which will simplify her life so much more.

She continued to think about it, "Bevin, that's a great idea" she said exited.

"What?" Haley asked confused, if there was one thing she couldn't do was cheer like a robot.

"You heard her" Bevin said, "I had a great idea" she told her proud of herself.

"Look, if you and" she pointed to Rachel "your friend" she made a disgust face. "Join the squad a I don't have to go through try outs, please Haley, please do this , please" she begged. Sure she still didn't like Rachel, but she did tolerate her. Rachel was one of her new found friend's friend, and she wanted to keep Haley's friendship.

"No, no, no, no" Haley said, she knew exactly what she was talking about. she was not a cheerleader.

"I'll do it" Rachel jumped in, "I was a cheerleader at my old school."

"Good" Brooke said and turned her attention back to Haley, at this point she was going to beg till she said yes. "Please, please, please, please, please."

"Brooke" Haley.

"Come on Haley, I'll do anything."

"Anything?" she questioned, Brooke shook her head still holding her pout.

"Fine" Haley said.

"Yay" Brooke said clapping her hands, the she reached over to Haley and wrapped her arms tight around her.

Lucas and Peyton-

"So what was the whole Brooke begging thing about?" Lucas asked sitting on the chair swing with his arm wrapped around her.

"She wanted Haley to join the squad" Peyton answered him, her hand rested on his arm.

It was later that day, it wasn't dark just yet but the sun was getting ready to set. They had been living together for ten weeks now, this being the eleventh. Living together sure had it's ups and downs, but it all turned out good in the end for Lucas and Peyton. They still hadn't said their i love you's, but it all comes in good time. The had a little over a week left and they were going to make the best of it.

"This feels nice" she said never leaving her eyes from the beautiful sunset they were about to experience.

"Yeah" Lucas breathed out.

"So I see that you get along with Nathan now, that's good" she said.

"Yeah, he's not so bad when he's not trying to be an ass. I still have my doubts about him, but will cross that bridge when we get there."

For a while they were quiet, just laying in each other's arms, soaking in the moment. The skies were so beautiful, the colors smearing from dark blue, to yellow, to orange, to red closer to the water.

Lucas played with a strand of her hair while she leaned on him, they just wanted to enjoy the moment. Soon they would be going back to school and god know that everyone was going to give them lots of crap. They weren't the only ones that would get it. Rachel would get it for being new, also for being on Brooke's bad side. Haley and Nathan would get it because of their social clicks, she was the nerd and he was the start player. Skills, Bevin, and Mouth would probably not be getting anything so far, Bevin still hadn't decided even though the answer was pretty obvious. Jake and Brooke would probably get it because he's the quiet jock, and well she is or was the slutty cheerleader. In a way they would all get some part of hell in school, high school is an evil place in were you have to learn to survive.

"This feels nice" she said as she watch the sun get lower.

"Yeah" Lucas told her, he was still playing with her hair. "I really like being her with you, you know. It's like we have our own little world" he said.

Peyton turned to him, finally leaving her eyes from the sunset. She reached up to him and kissed him, she had been wanting to do it so bad. But it felt as if they never got their own time to share, their was usually always someone that needed something or wanted something.

Lucas played with her hair as he deepened the kiss, she returned every single kiss that was received. the lips played with each others as did their tongues, their arms wrapping around each other and moving everywhere. When they finally pulled away for air the stared into each other's eyes, what they saw was something so powerful. But in the moment they just wanted to live it, they just wanted to be there with each other, in each other's arms.

Bevin, Mouth, and Skills-

"Mouth, I'm really sorry" she said walking up to him.

Mouth was laying on his bed reading a book, it was all he could think of doing. Everyone around was with someone as a couple and he was all alone.

"I really did like you" Bevin continued when she notice that he would not be saying anything, she sat on the bed next to him and began to play with her hands. "I know I hurt you, and that I don't deserve for you to forgive me. But we were just make out buddies, we said nothing official. It turned out that I like Skills,and if I didn't go for him before it was because of you, I didn't want to hurt you. You're such a great guy, and you're so sweet. It was hard for me to try and tell you that I wanted someone else, and harder to tell you that the some one else was one of your best friends."

Mouth really didn't feel like saying anything after her speech, he knew that what she said was true. But that didn't mean that he wasn't hurt, he felt used. She used him to pass the time and never cared about his feelings.

"I hope we can stay friends" she said, she leaned over to him and kissed his cheek. she then turned around and walked out the door, looking at him one more time she closed the door behind her.

Mouth was left there speech less, he wanted to tell her that it was okay. That he was fine with her being with Skills, but he couldn't. He did like the girl, and someday he also hoped that they would become friends. But right now he was hurt, and it was going to take time for him to get over this.

Bevin walked to the other boy's room. After the whole truth or dare night, and Mouth finding out about the kiss the boys switched rooms. Jake was now sharing with Mouth and Skills was sharing with Nathan.

She walked in the room and saw him laying there, he was just staring at the ceiling. Bevin walked closer to him and began to speak, "Skills?" she waited for some reaction from him.

Skills sat up and leaned his back on the head rest, "hey."

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry, I'm sorry that you and Mouth are not the same way you use to be. I know it's my fault and I really am sorry."

"Hey shorty, don't worry. Mouth and me are going to be just fine, the little dude just needs time to find someone he likes. And to get over the fact that you liked someone else. he going to be okay" skills told her, he was just trying to comfort her.

"I know, but I still am sorry" she said with tears in her eyes.

"Come here" Skills said patting the spot next to him for her to sit."Just give him time, he'll come back when he's ready" he said wrapping his arm around her.

Brooke and Jake-

They had a little over a week left to spend together like this, well to spend most of the day together. Once they went back to their regular lives they would be busy with practice and school and family, but right know they just wanted to enjoy each other's company.

Jake was currently laying on her kissing her, they had been making out for what seemed forever now. But Jake was the first guy Brooke was truly serious about, he was the first guy to treat her like a lady, the first one to go slow, and treat her right.

He pulled away for air and looked straight into her eyes, they were beautiful. Her Hazel eyes were glowing with passion and he could see right through them, he rested his head on her forehead and smiled. At this moment he felt so many emotions, he really liked this girls. "Be my girlfriend" he told her, more like a statement then a question.

Brooke was clearly taken of guard with this, she looked at him and smiled. "yes" she said smiling.

Jake leaned over to her mouth one more time and began to kiss her passionatly.

"You are beautiful, Brooke Davis" he told her.

Brooke just took his words in and kissed him deeper and with more passion, she loved the feeling of him on her. His lips crushing against hers, his body hovering her. She loved everything she was feeling at the moment, she never wanted this to go away.

Nathan and Haley-

"Damn girl, you have a lot of siblings" Nathan said flipping the page.

They were currently laying on Rachel's bed, which is where Haley had been sleeping for the past weeks. She was showing him a family album she always had with her when she was away from home, yeah all her brothers and sisters had already moved out. But she still loved to remember them, and when she was away from home she could always feel better just by looking at the pictures.

"Yep, three sisters and three brothers" she pointed out laying next to him on their stomachs.

"I think I know Taylor" he said pointing to a picture of all her siblings. The picture had been taken last summer.

"I bet you do, she was a senior when I was a sophmore."

"There is a lot of picture of the three of you" he said looking at the next page.

"Yeah, Tay, Quinn and I are the youngest. We were like best friends, that's until we grew up."

He looked at her and smiled, "when I have my own family I want lots of kids" he told her.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

Haley just laughed at his comment.

"What's so funny?" he asked closing the album. He quickly placed it on the ground and turned to her.

"Nothing" she said shaking her head, "I just, I would've never pictured you one to have a big family."

"Well let me tell you, I would love a big family. Plus we are going to have so much fun making the babies" he told her straddling her, then he leaned and kissed her deeply.

They kissed until they needed air, but went right back to what they were doing when they regain their strength.

He would've never picture himself thinking about the future, that was not him. He was usually the kind to just sleep around and only care about himself, well himself and basketball. But now this girl had changed him, somehow she did. In the little time that they had spent together she managed to turn him into a decent human being, someone who cared about things and people other then himself.

He pulled out and looked into her eyes, he was lost in the beauty of her brown eyes. "I love you" he told her. He had been wanting to say it for a while, but someone he never found the right time. This time felt like the perfect time.

Haley blushed at his comment and leaned up to him and kissed him, she laid her head back down and stared at him. "I love you too" she said in a soft whisper.

Rachel-

Rachel was downstairs watching t.v all alone, she was with Haley for a while earlier during the day. But when she saw Nathan walk into the room she left, she really didn't want to see them be all mushy around each other whens he had no one.

Her life had changed so much. She now had a friend who was great. She would be going to a new school, and already knew people. Sure she was not the most likeable person, but somehow she had managed to make friends. She still had people who really didn't like her; Brooke, but she still managed to get along with others. This was really odd for her, at her old school no one talked to her. Everyone hated her and she never knew why, they never took the time to get to know her. If they did they would see that if she was your friend, she would do anything for you. But most people only saw the evil side of her.
