Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter! No Clay atall in this one, sorry. I actually didn't feel like writing today, but I read a really great fanfic and it really inspired me:) Warning this chapter has alot of kissing, lol.

Chapter 17

Lucas Scott dribbled the ball across the court. There was now 10 seconds left in the game. Ravens were up by 4. Lucas quickly passed the ball to Jake who got double teamed so he passed to Nathan who shot the ball which went it just as the buzzer sounded.

''The Ravens have won!'' Mouth screamed into the microphone.

''Mouth!'' he turned round and saw Millie jump into his arms.

''What are you doing here?'' he asked surprised, he was so happy to see her.

''Surprise!'' she said as she stuck her arms out and twiddled her fingers.

''Well I think this is the best surpise I've ever been given.'' he said as he pulled her close to him and kissed her.

''So was that.'' she commented when she broke away from the kiss.

Mouth just done a 'Nathan smirk' and kissed her again. Both of them loving every second of it.

..

Brooke ran up to Lucas and jumped in his arms. He picked her up and span the girl he loved around.

''You did it baby!'' she squeled jumping up and down in his arms.

He cut her out of her squels by kissing her with all the happiness he was feeling. He'd just won another game and he had the girl he loved right there with him, his Mom was pregnant and getting married to the man who he considered his father, he's got his brother back. Lucas Scott couldn't be happier.

..

Peyton ran up to Jake. He was her bestfriend (well the best one she's made in Tree Hill), they'd got so close this past few weeks. Especially since him and Haley broke up. She knew she was falling for him, she just couldn't control her feeling for him, he was unlike any of the guys she's ever met, of course she was falling for him.

She gave him a quick hug, ''Congrats buddy!'' she said as she lifted her hand for him to give her a high five.

He gave her a high five and said ''Thanks.''

''You wanna get out of here?'' she asked.

''Yeah, lets go get our stuff.'' he smiled. Jake really wanted some alone time with her. They always hung out, but mainly with the rest of them. They did hang out alone too, but after a couple of hours someone would join them or something would happen and they'd have to go home. He looked at the rest of his friends. He knew they'd all be busy tonight. Perfect.

Jake put his arm loosly around her sholdours and they walked to the locker rooms.

..

Fergie watched as everyone congratulating his friends as the Ravens won another game. Junk had gone to the toilet, Skills was with Bevin and Mouth was with Millie. Fergie just wished Lauren was here. But she hasn't called, so she obviously doesn't want to be.

''Fergie?'' a small voice asked.

Fergie's wish came true when he saw Lauren stood nervously behind him. She had her hands stuffed into her pockets, unsure of what to do.

''What are you doing her?'' he asked, his voice flat.

''I wanted to apologise. I lost you're number. You're school finishes before mine so I couldn't come and see you, I didn't know where you hung out, I know you said the river court. I checked it out a few times but you wern't there. I'm sorry I didn't call. I was hoping you'd give me you're number again? I promise I wont loose it this time.'' she said. She couldn't believe she lost it, she really liked Fergie. She just hopes she hasn't ruined her chance with him. Ferguson Thompson was to good to loose.

He didn't know what to say. So he just grabbed her and kissed her. When he broke away she stared at him breathlessly, ''So I guess I can have you're number then?'' she joked.

''Nah.'' He joked back. Lauren actually thought he was serious, he gave her a give peck on the lips. ''Just kidding.''

They both smiled at eachother and continued kissing. Lauren was definetely getting more that just a number.

..

Skills was looking around for Bevin, he couldn't find her any where. He gasped when he felt two small hands cover his hands.

''Hey baby.'' she whispered in his ear, still coverting his eyes.

''Hey.''

''You wanna come back to my place? My parents are out of town, and I missed my baby tonight.'' she whispered huskilly in his ear once again.

Skills grabbed her arm and they ran out of the gym, all he wanted was Bevin. And now he was going to have her.

..

Junk watched as Skills ran out with his girlfriend. He looked and saw Mouth and his girlfriends making out. He then saw Fergie and his new girlfriend talking on the bleachers holding hands. He wished he had that. Everyone was finding someone, Brooke and Lucas had declared there love. Skills told him that Nathan told Haley he liked her and Haley feels the same. His 3 best friends now had girlfriends. What about him?

''Junk, Junk!'' Brooke shouted as she ran over to him, dragging a dark skinned, black haired, gorgeous girl over to him. ''Junk this is Anna, Anna this is Junk.'' she said gesturing towards the person who's name she said.

''Hi.'' Anna said shyly.

''Hey.'' Junk said, stuffing his hands into his pockets. Trying to keep his cool.

''Ok... So I'll give you two some time to talk.'' Brooke said awkwardly, even though it wasn't exactly a awkward moment. Brooke just looked at the pair of them and ran off. Hoping her friend Anna who she met at summer camp and one of her best friends Junk got together.

They both just laughed as they watched Brooke run off.

''She's crazy.'' Anna commented.

''That's Brooke.'' Junk said, still laughing and shaking his head. Not believing how crazy she was sometimes.

''How do you know Brooke?'' She asked.

''She's one of my best friends, and she dating my other best friend too.'' he informed her. ''How about you?''

''I met her and Haley at summer camp last year.'' she smiled as memories popped into her head.

''So you're the girl they kept going on about when they got back.'' They both laughed.

''I guess that's me. They didn't say anything bad did they?'' she asked embarressed.

''Nah, they said you're awsome.'' he told her.

''That's sweet.'' she smiled again at what they said about her. They got really close at summer camp, it was pretty boring there. Especially for Brooke, it was a all girl summer camp. Brooke spent alot of the time missing Lucas. But it was her idea to go, Haley's mom had sent her there for the summer, so Brooke tagged along too ofcourse. Haley was basically her sister.

Anna and Junk continued talking about Brooke and Haley at her summer camp. They then moved on to themselves, they talked about there schools, Anna goes to Laurens all girl school so they talked about that. He talked about Tree Hill High. They talked about friends, it turns out Lauren is her best friend but she's also got others. So he talked about his, Fergie, Mouth, Skills, Luke and the girls. It was like they were on a date, well they both hoped it was.

...

Haley didn't know what she was thinking when she ran over to Nathan when he scored the winning basket. She was overcome with pride so she jumped into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist. He clung onto her waist and span her around, even when he stopped spinning, none of them made a move to let go. They both enjoyed the feeling they got when they were touching.

Haley knew she had to tell Nathan how she felt too, this wasn't fair to him at all. Even though they won the game she could tell this was bothering him, he definetely wasn't playing his best.

She leaned over and whispered into his ear, ''I like you too.'' She moved her arms away and unwrapped her legs from around his waist. She began to walk away, she didn't know what else to do. She just wanted him to know, he might have changed his mind.

Nathan's heart was beating rapidly, it's all her could hear. He couldn't hear all the cheers and voices, he could just hear that. He needed to be with Haley, now. Now she feels the same way theres nothing stopping them.

Just as she began to walk away he grabbed her hand. She turned and looked at him confused, Nathan pulled her towards him and kissed her lightly on the lips, he didn't want to push her. They smiled at eachother and she kissed him again, this time not so light. This wasn't like her, she never made out with Jake in the middle of the court. But this was Nathan, the guy who she has the strongest feelings for.

They didn't notice all there friends looking at them (except Peyton and Jake). They didn't notice anything. All the cared about was being with eachother, and now they are.

Nathan and Lucas were in the locker room. They were all planning to go to Karens Cafe to celebrate winning, it was now closed but Karen always let the group in. So they were all going to go there. Which would give them a chance to meet Millie, Lauren and Anna. They didn't know where Peyton and Jake were, they didn't really care, everyone was to wrapped up in there own lives to care.

''Nathan and Haley sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.'' Lucas sang.

Nathan shoved Lucas in the sholdour, ''Seriously, you're turning more and more into Brooke each day.''

They both just laughed, ''Seriously though, congrats man. I told you she felt the same.''

''No. Brooke told you she felt the same.'' he corrected.

''Well I still told you.'' he added. Lucas really wanted to feel responsible for his brother and best friend being together.

''No. Brooke told me.'' he corrected, smirking.

''Damn.'' he mumbled. ''What do you think Jake will say? I don't think he saw.''

''What d'you mean? They've been broken up for nearly a month and a half, and he likes Peyton.'' he told him defensively. He didn't want Jake to hate Haley because of him. ''And he didn't say anything in practice when we were talking about it.''

Lucas just laughed, ''Just kidding man, I know he's cool with you too.''

''You're such a nerd Pucas.'' Nathan spat.

''Nice Nate, didn't you call me that one Thanksgiving?'' he joked.

''Yeah, because you're Pucas.'' he told him.

''That doesn't even make sense. I bet that's how you won Haley over, with you're cool nicknames.''

''It took alot more than that, I still don't even know why she likes me.'' he confessed.

''Isn't it obvious?'' Nathan looked at him curiously, ''You're Naley!'' he joked, yet again.

''Seriously dude, what are you nowadays? A basketball player? A writer? Or a fricken comedian?'' he asked as he shoved him. ''Oh wait, you're Broody!''

They continued to insult eachother, just like brothers. They wern't embarressed to call eachother that anymore.

Haley and Brooke were in the girls locker rooms. Mouth and Fergie were waiting for them so they could go to the cafe and they could meet there girlfriends. Junk and Anna were also waiting. They didn't even know where Jake and Peyton were, they just hoped they'd be on a date or something. Skills and Bevin were 'busy' so they said they'd meet them there later. Lucas and Nathan wern't ready yet so they didn't have to rush getting there things.

''Haley and Nathan sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.'' Brooke sang.

Haley just laughed, ''Seriously you and Luke are just made for eachother.''

''Don't change the subject! What happened? What did you say? What did he say? Is he a good kisser? Are you two dating now? Did he make the first move? He better had of Hales! Girls don't make the first move!'' she ranted.

''Brooke! Calm down. It all happened so fast..'' she told her, thinking about what happened only 20 minutes before.

''Okay, start from the beginning.''

''I ran up to him, hugged him, told him I liked him, began to walk away, he stopped me and kissed me.'' she told her in one breath.

Brooke got the biggest grin on her face. ''Hales! I'm so happy for you!'' she gave her best friend a massive bear hug, when she realised Haley couldn't really breath sp she let go.

''You wern't this happy when I got with Jake.'' Haley commented.

''But you're Naley! And he's Lucas's brother, oh my god if you and Nathan got married we'd be sisters!'' Brooke squeled.

''Woah slow down Brooke, I don't even know if were dating. And you do know you'll have to be married to Lucas so we'll be sisters right?''

''Yeah, and we will be.'' she informed Haley. She's one hundred percent sure she'll be married to Lucas, she wants to be with him for the rest of her life. She's know that for years, she's just never said it.

''Aaw Tigger.'' Haley said as she hugged her.

''Okay, enough about me. More about Naley!''

They talked about 'Naley' for awhile untill they realised the time. They walked out of the locker room and to the gym where Nathan, Lucas, Mouth, Millie, Junk, Anna, Fergie and Lauren were waiting.

''I'm sorry we took so long.'' Haley told them as her and Brooke walked up to them. Nathan walked up and hugged her, he'd missed her and they'd only been apart 15 minutes.

''It's okay.'' Luke said as he walked over and kissed Brooke.

''Hales, Brooke this is Millie.'' Mouth told them, showing them his girlfriend.

''Hi, I'm Haley.'' Haley said as she walked over and hugged her.

Brooke walked over and did the same. ''I'm Brooke.'' she grinned.

''This is Lauren.'' Fergie told them motioning to the girl he had his arm wrapped around.

They both did the same as they did with Millie, and then they saw Anna.

''Anna! I didn't know you were here!'' she said as she ran and pulled her into a massive hug. She'd not saw her in months.

''Brooke invited me.'' she informed her.

''Can we go now? I'm starving.'' Lucas moaned.

''Sure, let's go Broody.'' Brooke linked arms with him and they all walked out. Haley and Nathan walking hand in hand.

Jake and Peyton were at Karens Cafe. Karen was just leaving as they arrived, she didn't mind giving them the keys to lock up. They were just sat talking, it was like they were on a date. But they thought the other person wouldn't want that.

''Did you see Bevin and Skills running across the carpark? They were in a hurry.'' Peyton laughed.

''Why do you think they were in such a hurry?'' Jake said, completely oblivious to why they were.

''Well Bevin's parents are out of town,'' she hinted.

''So?'' Jake asked, still clueless.

''and they have been dating for almost 2 months.''

''What's that got to do with anything?''

''They're always all over each other, knocking all of you guys sick.''

''So?'' he asked again.

''Skills was looking pretty horny whilst they were running.'' she teased.

''Eew Peyton! I didn't want to know that!'' he shouted.

''What did you think they were doing Jake? Watching a movie?'' she giggled.

''Yeah! I didn't want to imagine.. eew!'' he cringed.

''Don't be a baby Jake, people have sex.'' she continued to laugh.

''I know. I just don't like to think of Skills and Bevin having it.'' That just made her laugh even more.

Like it was on cue Bevin and Skills walked into the cafe, with huge grins on there faces. Jake and Peyton didn't want to get interupted. But since Bevin and Skills were here, the rest would be too.

''Hey.'' they both said.

''Hi.'' they both said while laughing. When Bevin and Skills walked in with those grins you couldn't not laugh, not when they were smiling at what they just did.

''What's funny?'' Bevin asked, wanting to be let in on the joke.

''Nothing just a movie we watched.'' Peyton lied, trying to stop her laughter.

''Oh yeah? What movie?'' Skills asked.

''Um, The Notebook.'' Jake quickly lied.

''Oh.'' they both said confused. What was funny about The Notebook?

Just as they said 'Oh' the rest of the group walked in, including three other girls. What was the most shocking thing though was the fact that Haley and Nathan were holding hands.

''There you are P. Sawyer and Jakey. You totally missed Naley.'' Brooke informed them.

''Really, that's awsome!'' Jake said. Genuinley happy for his friends.

Haley and Nathan both blew sighs of relief as everyone sat down. Atleast Jake was happy for them, atleast it wouldn't be awkward.

''So you guys are like together now?'' Peyton asked.

''I guess we are.'' Nathan said not looking away from Haley, hoping she'd agree, it's not like they talked about it.

''Yeah.'' Haley agreed as she smiled at him. She smiled even more when Nathan leaned down and kissed her.

''Excuse me. No PDA, if me and Brooke can't, you can't either.'' Lucas told them sternly. He was mad about that, after a week of them making out infront of them they'd finally had enough and made a rule. No PDA infront of the rest of them. Last week Bevin and Skills got added to that rule. Now Haley and Nathan are.

''Thanks Luke.'' Nathan mumbled sarcastically.

''You're welcome.'' he answered smugly.

''Guys this is Millie,'' Mouth said as he pointed to his girlfriend who was sat next to him. ''and that's Lauren and Anna.'' he said as he pointed to them who were sat on the other side of that table next to Junk and Fergie.

They all got introduced and Haley went to the kitchen and made them some pancakes. It didn't matter what time it was, they were Haley's pancakes. And everyone loves Haley's pancakes.

They all sat talking and getting to know the new girls. Hoping they'd be part of there group too if there relationships lasted with there best friends.

Everytime noone was looking Haley and Nathan stole some kisses. Both enjoying there new relationship. Haley was thinking about the first time she met him and what they talked about, love. She got a horrible feeling in her stomach when she remembered what Nathan said.

''Do you believe in love?'' Haley asked cautiously,''Oh my god that sounds like cheesy pick up line or something right? I just wanted to know for like guys in general not just you, I wasn't flirting. Why would you care if I was flirting anyway? Great. Reading by the expression on your face, yes you do think I'm a freak. That's just gr-''

''Haley'' Nathan cut her off again; she was having a full blown ramble. Her arms were flying about she looked so cute. Wait cute? Nathan doesn't say cute Jeez what was Tree Hill doing to him? He then realised he'd left Haley wondering what he was going to say. ''I don't think you're a freak, as far as I know you sound pretty awesome'' He then saw her suddenly looking relieved but still weary as she knew he had something else to say. ''..And you're asking the wrong guy, I don't. But other guys do, my Uncle Cooper, He's in love.. Even though she left him. He sure believes in it.''

'I don't.' Haley was planning on falling in love with Nathan, but what if he wasn't? She then remembered that day when they sent notes in class, she still has that note and she still remembers what it said.

'And who's the new Nathan Scott?'

'The one that wants to be with someone, like actually be with someone. The one that wants to fall in love.'

That made Haley have a new feeling in her stomach, she remembered that day at lunch when Lucas said Nathan liked someone. That person was her. That just made her more confused. Does he want to fall in love? Does he still not believe in it? Was he just saying he wants to so she'd like him? Haley just hoped he did want to because she could already picture herself marrying Nathan Scott.

Hope you liked it!

I did go and see Eclipse and it was amazing. They did rush it in the beginning though, and they did cut alot of good scenes from the book. I still think it was they best so far. I loved Edwards proposal! Im now Team Edward again. I thought the end was great. Anyone who loved it should read 'The short second life of Bree Tanner' I got it yesterday and ive finished it, its pretty short (179 pages) but really good. I strongly recomend it.

There will be more Jeyton in the next chapter. And some Brucas to. Along with some Naley drama.

The next chapter will be up on Monday.

BTW I'll start telling you when I'll be updating just so you know when. You may be in a different country with a different timezone and i dont know if it will be a different day for you. But ill just tell you what day it will be when ill update.
