I DON'T OWN ANYTHING SO DON'T SUE ME I'M JUST TELLING EVERYBODY HOW THIS SHOW SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED SINCE SEASON 3 & BEYOND
One Tree Hill
My Version of Season 3... But when Brooke comes back she doesn't just 'date' Lucas she wants to just be friends with him... Why? Because during the summer Peyton talked to her telling her she had major feelings for Lucas. So Brooke immediately put her feelings aside so Peyton and Lucas could be together. But Peyton has been telling Brooke that she knows Lucas has feelings for her so that way Brooke wouldn't think that Lucas wanted to be with her anymore. Lucas has tried contacting Brooke but can't get through, while busy helping Peyton with finding her birth mother. Haley James-Scott is back in town and Chris Keller has followed her! Brooke and Haley are now living together and Nathan is having a hard time adjusting to having his wife back. Meanwhile a certain face that everybody thought was gone shows back up again...
Hey Everyone! So I actually don't care very much for this chapter. The only thing I really did that was even relevant to the story was bringing in Rachel and something with Dan... (; So this chapter is NOT that great. I probably shouldn't even be posting it knowing i'll get some 'hate' reviews but whatever... I'll deal(: . Thank you for all the wonderful reviews you guys left for the last chapter! And Jeyton is definitely NOT 100% back to normal. But they do not make an appearance in this chapter... sorry): . I was going to but I didn't want to, bad excuse I know but I feel like that would be so random since this was supposed to be mainly a Naley chapter but Brucas is in it:D. I can't help it I love Brucas3. ANYWAY HAPPY READING!
PLEASE REVIEW!
Chapter Ten: Brave New World
Nathan Scott was laying awake in his bed, his wife sleeping soundly on his chest. But he couldn't sleep. Not when Dan was back.
Flashback:
Nathan was going through his Sunday morning drills at the river court when a voice pulled him away from taking, his would have been, perfect shot.
"You know Nathan, keep playing like that and you might actually get somewhere in life." Dan Scott's voice echoed as he stepped onto the court, wearing his smug smile.
"What the fuck are you doing here? I thought you left?" Nathan asked angry as he shook his head pushing his hands against the ball so he wouldn't bash Dan's head in. It was because of him that him and Haley split up.
"And here I thought my son would be happy to see me." Dan said arrogantly. "Besides I'm back because I heard your drunk of a mother was back here. And I didn't want her getting into her old ways." He told Nathan trying to seem like a good person.
But Nathan knew better. "Cut the shit and just tell me why you are here." Nathan told him not buying his good husband and father role for a second.
Dan sighed and shook his head. "Is it so bad that I want your mother and you to be happy?"
Nathan laughed bitterly. "We were happier when you left to go be with you slut. You remember her right? The one you cheated on with my mother." Nathan told him angrily stepping back so he didn't attack the man. Because that's what Dan wanted, he wanted a reaction so he goes to him instead of Lucas.
"Giselle was nothing but a time-passer until your mother got better." Dan told him while fixing his suit. "Listen, your mother and I expect you and Haley for a family dinner this Saturday."
Nathan frowned. "Mom knows your back?" He asked shocked.
Dan nodded, smug prick once again. "Yes she does. And she doesn't know about Giselle. And your not going to tell her." He told Nathan, not threateningly but as if stating a fact.
Nathan scoffed. "And why wouldn't I?" He asked Dan as Dan started to walk away.
Dan turned around and smirked. "You wouldn't want your mother to have relapse, would you?" He asked Nathan. And when he didn't get an answer it appeared he had won and turned around and walked to his car driving off with yet another victory under his belt.
Nathan frowned and threw the ball at the net angrily and exhaled loudly. He never thought he could hate somebody more than Chris Keller.
Present:
Nathan still had yet to tell Haley they had to go over. Of course Haley like his mother, when she was sober, but she hated Dan almost as much as he did. He had no idea how she would react.
Nathan sighed a little sad and ran his fingers through her hair gently combing it. It was soft as he sifted through it, and was long enough where he could twist it fully around his finger before gently pulling his finger out.
Haley sighed and shifted closer to him, and he paused in his ministrations not wanting to wake her. But she didn't wake up, she just nuzzled her head deeper into his chest and relaxed against him. God he loved her, and he didn't want Dan trying to break them again. Nathan didn't want him breaking hi mother either...
Haley James-Scott woke up from a very deep sleep. After the news Nathan gave her about Dan being back, it didn't surprise her that she needed to sleep it off. She hated Dan. Which was saying a lot about him since she rarely hated anybody. Even those who did wrong her.
Haley carefully got out of bed without disturbing Nathan and took a quick shower. She came back in the room towel drying her hair in a pair of black sweat pants and one of Nathan's old shirts, when Nathan started moving on the bed.
When Haley was going to go over and gently wake him up he sat up in bed quickly looking around before shaking his head and putting his hands on his head breathing deeply.
"Nathan, what's wrong?" Haley asked concerned as she sat on the bed in front of him. She took his hands off of his head and wrapped them around her waist and she put her arms around his neck rocking him gently. "What's going on?" She asked him quietly kissing his head.
Nathan shook his head again. "Just a bad dream." He told her shrugging, but not releasing his hold on her. A fucking nightmare was what it was. Haley was being take away from him, and he couldn't stop it. Kept running after her until he found her bloody on the ground and looked up at him and said, "You were supposed to save me. And you didn't." He shuddered remembering.
"I love you." She told him quietly knowing he wouldn't say what scared him. That's Nathan Scott.
"I love you too." Nathan said lifting his head and looking into her eyes.
Haley slowly got off of the bed and pulled Nathan with her and looked up at him smiling a little sadly at him. "Nate, I know this has something to do about Dan. But just don't let him get to you, okay? 'Cause if you do you're giving him exactly what he wants." She told him hugging him tightly.
Nathan kissed her head and nodded. "I'm gonna go take a shower." He told her softly walking out of her embrace.
Lucas Scott woke up searching for a body next to him and was very displeased when he didn't feel one. Instead there was a note.
Lucas! It's about five in the morning right now and I just heard your mom's car pull up. Her and Keith would kill both of us if they realized I stayed the night! Pick me up at my house and drive me to school, k?
I love you very much Broody.
Brooke
Lucas groaned as he sat up in bed and realized it was almost seven. He ran out of bed and flew through the shower coming out and saw his mother and Keith sitting in the kitchen.
Lucas grabbed his car keys and bag. "Hey guys, how was you trip?" He asked as he put his books in his bag.
Karen smiled and looked at Keith. "It went very well. And I trust nothing happened while were were away?" Karen asked staring at Lucas.
Lucas just put his last book in his back and said, "Nope. Listen I'm running late I told Brooke that I would pick her up this morning. I'll see you guys when I get home." He told them already walking to the door.
"Does he really think we're stupid?" Keith asked chuckling lightly.
Lucas drove with a led foot to Brooke's house getting there faster than he ever remembered. He hopped out of his car that was still on and banged on the door.
Brooke opened the door with a smile and gave him a kiss. "Good morning, Boyfriend. How'd you sleep?" She asked as she locked and shut her door and walked to the car with him.
"Well, it was pleasant until I woke up and you weren't there." Lucas told her as he got into the car.
Brooke giggled and got in as well. "Lucas, Karen would have killed us." She told him holding his free hand as they drove to school.
Lucas nodded. "Maybe, maybe not. Anyway are you guys practicing tomorrow?" He asked her, hoping to God she wasn't.
Brooke shrugged. "It's like the first Friday of the season without a game. I was gonna give the girls a break. Why?" She asked rubbing her thumb over his palm.
Lucas grinned. "Good because you are mine tonight."
Brooke smiled. "I like the sound of that. So what are we doing?" She asked excited as she turned more towards him.
Lucas chuckled at her response to him. "Pretty Girl, it's a surprise." He told her quickly kissing the pout off her face. "You'll love it I promise."
Brooke sighed. "Fine. I guess you don't have to tell me." She told him sulking a little.
"C'mon Brooke. It'll be even better that you don't know. Even better for me because you can thank me properly later." Lucas told her smirking as he pulled into the parking lot.
Brooke chuckled a little opened her car door and waiting for Lucas to come on to the sidewalk with her. "Luke, that's saying that I even like the surprise."
Lucas nodded. "Sure I'll let you have your little fantasy that you may not like it, but I know you Brooke and you're going to love this." He told her slipping his arm around her shoulders.
Brooke shrugged. "Maybe you don't know me as well as you think you do." She told him looking up at him smiling.
Lucas laughed. "Alright, alright. But I'm still not telling you so..." He trailed of shrugging.
"Alright, alright. So I need your help with my English project." Brooke said to him smiling seductively at him.
Lucas grinned down at her leaning against the locker near her's. "You do, do you?" He asked happily kissing her neck lightly.
Brooke giggled and put a hand on his chest, not pushing him away. "Luke, not right now. Later, after your supposed perfect surprise I will love." She told him smiling as she shut her locker as the first bell rang. "I gotta get to class Broody. Love you." She told him standing up on her tip toes and kissed him softly.
"I love you too." He told her kissing her forehead after they pulled away. Brooke flashed him her dimpled smile and walked down the hall running after Peyton when she saw her.
Rachel Gatina walked into the library and saw a familiar brunette sitting at a table. Rachel walked over to the table in the back corner and sat down.
Brooke Davis looked up when somebody sat next to her and saw it was Rachel, still she put a smile on her face. "Hi, Rachel." Brooke said as she marked her book and closed it. "What can I do for you?"
"Nothing really. Just some information if your willing to share it." Rachel said smiling slightly.
Brooke looked at her warily. "What?"
"Oh nothing big really. Just how do you deal with having a best friend cheat on you with your boyfriend and forgive both of them?" Rachel asked. She wasn't snotty or mean about it. She seemed to be talking to her like a real friend would.
Brooke frowned at her. "Listen you don't know anything so-"
"No I do know." Rachel cut in. "Brooke I know you don't like me. But from one team mate to another, they're gonna hurt you again." Rachel told her softly.
"And how do you know this?" Brooke asked tonelessly. She didn't believe they would, she trusted Lucas. And why would Peyton screw up with Jake when she just got him back?
"Because Peyton loves Lucas." Rachel told her stupidly. "Everyone can see it. And let's face it if she cheated on him once with you she'd do it again." Rachel said as she flipped her hair over her shoulder and leaned her arms on the table. "Peyton is the kind of friend I would not let my boyfriend's meet. And that's saying something."
"Oh wow, you have boyfriends?" Brooke asked rudely tilting her head wearing a fake sweet smile.
Rachel didn't find this amusing. "Ha-ha, funny. But seriously I wouldn't put it past her to try it again." Rachel told her shrugging as she stood up. "Your choice though."
"Wait." Brooke told her when she turned to leave. "Why would you talk to me about this? Why warn me if you don't like me?" She asked frowning a little confused.
"I don't not like you Brooke. You're actually a very nice person I would love to get to know." Rachel told her smiling a little. "And why warn you? So you don't go through what I went through." She told her before walking away without another word.
Brooke sat there dumbfounded after Rachel left. She didn't know why Rachel would warn her about this. And more so is that she finally got over Peyton and Lucas drama. Peyton was with Jake and Lucas and herself were absolutely perfect right now. Why did everyone always have to remind her of the past?
Haley James-Scott was sitting at the lunch table with Nathan more than angry.
"What do you mean dinner on Sunday?" She asked upset. "They have no right to demand that of us! They can barely be called parents." Haley snapped, not at Nathan. The nerve of Dan and Deb Scott! Their son was just finally getting back to normal and they go interfere in his life again!
Nathan sighed knowing she would react like this. "Haley I know. But for the first time in his life, I think Dan has a point. My mother does need stability right now. And if this is what she needs while getting better than I wanna do it." He told her holding her hand as he told her.
"Nathan I really don't want to go." She told him. "And I don't think you should either. This just has disaster all over it! Somebody can do or say the wrong thing and it's world war three on our hands." Haley told him exasperated. "And Dan Scott never does good things for the sake of doing them, there is always and alternative motivation for him to."
Nathan sighed sadly looking down. Even though Dan was a shitty father, the man was still his father. And even though Deb was an alcoholic for the better part of most of his life, she was still his mother. "They're still my parents Hale." He told her looked up at her. "And I wanna be able to help."
"Nathan..." Haley sighed shaking her head knowing she would regret this. "Fine, we can go. But if anything bad even attempts to start we are leaving." She told him sternly.
Nathan had a smile creep onto his face and grabbed her face and kissed her. "Thank you, Haley."
Haley smiled at his reaction. "I love you, and even though this is a bad idea, since you wanna do it. I'll do it with you." She told him playing with his wedding band.
Nathan beamed down at his perfect wife. "I love you too."
Brooke Davis walked very briskly to Nathan and Haley's apartment after school and when Brooke was at the door she didn't knock or ring the door bell. She threw open the door and found Nathan sitting on the couch watching t.v and Haley was next to him doing her homework.
"Brooke, what are you doing here?" Haley asked a little surprised at the flushed looking brunette.
Brooke didn't answer her instead glared at Nathan. "Listen Nattie I need Haley for about an hour. So you go leave." She told him folding her arms.
Nathan chuckled a little and stood up. "Alright, fine. I'll be at the river court." He told them giving Haley a sweet kiss. Nathan looked at Brooke and she just squinted her eyes at him. "Okay, okay I'm leaving." He told her putting on his sweatshirt and shoes before exiting the house.
"Alright Brooke, what's going on?" Haley asked patiently as she put her notebook down on the coffee table.
Brooke frowned and sat down on the recliner near the couch. "Why does everybody think Lucas is gonna cheat on me again?" Brooke asked incredulously. "I mean they do not know him, so why would they even think that?" She asked angrily.
Haley looked at the brunette as her frown slowly turned into a pout. "Brooke who cares what they think? All that matters is that you believe Lucas." Haley told her. Haley honestly thought that Lucas wouldn't do that to Brooke again. He couldn't be that stupid to lose her again.
Brooke shrugged. "I guess." She mumbled but then sat up angrily. "But just when I get over everything and it doesn't even cross my mind somebody always brings it back up again and then I am constantly thinking about." Brooke told her frowning.
Haley sighed and moved to sit on the arm of the recliner putting an arm around Brooke. "Everything will be okay." Haley told her kissing her hair. "Lucas loves you more than anything in the world. And I know you love him with all your heart. So who cares what other people are saying? All that matters is that you both trust each other." Haley told her rubbing Brooke's arm comfortingly.
Brooke shrugged. "It's just bothering me." Brooke said leaning her head on her shoulder. "God people suck." She pouted at Haley.
Haley laughed ironically. "Yeah, Brooke. Yeah they do."
