Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill

This story is based on the song by 'Cascada'

This is my first story so sorry if it's crap. I'm ill at the moment and I was bored and the idea just came to me. If you like it please review. This chapters about Nathan and his past but the next one will be about Haley and hers.

'Beep. Beep. Beep.'

Nathan groaned as he turned his alarm clock off, he woke up in a unfamiliar room, it looked like a hotel room but then he heard the sound of a television downstairs and could smell pancakes.

That's when Nathan remembered where he was. He was at his brother Lucas's house. Well half brother, with Lucas's Mum Karen and Uncle Keith.

Nathans father was Dan Scott, Keith's brother. He dated Karen in high school and left her while she was pregnant with Lucas to go to college. That's where Dan met Deb Lee, well Scott now. Nathan's Mom. He also got her pregnant but decided to stick around with Deb and they could raise baby Nathan together and they soon got married.

Karen and Keith raised Lucas together and finally after denying feeling for each other for years got engaged. Karen is also 4 months pregnant.

Nathan didn't really know Lucas, to be honest Nathan actually liked the idea of having a big brother but of course Dan didn't. So whenever they rarely saw each other for family occasions Nathan was told to be rude to Lucas, just another reason why Nathan hated Dan Scott.

Dan always pressured Nathan, belittled him. Always told him he wasn't good enough, he never once told Nathan he loved him. Nathan always thought Dan always wished he had stayed with Karen and Lucas so Nathan pushed himself over the edge that's why he's here.

One night Nathan took drugs to boost his performance in basketball, the only thing Nathan thinks he's good at. Basketball was his father's life which meant it was Nathans to.

Flashback-

Nathan dribbled the ball across the court his team Oak Lake were up by 20. Nathan was on fire, he was sure he was playing one of the best games of his life.

Nathan looked over at Dan, he didn't look happy. He didn't look proud of him. He looked the same of always, angry. Nathan obviously was doing something wrong as usual, not running fast enough, not getting the ball enough, not scoring enough. Nathan was the best player on the team but Dan always had to find something wrong with what he was doing.

Nathan ran closer to the net as he shot the ball he suddenly collapsed to the floor.

He was dizzy and looked turned his head to see the crowd stoop up shocked and his team crowding around him.

''Nathan get your lazy ass up and play the game!'' Dan screamed as he pushed through the crowds.

That was the last thing he heard before it went black.

Flashback over-

His mother never really noticed how Dan treated Nathan she was too busy spending money and arguing with Dan every night about everything possible.

After that night Deb started taking drugs when she realised how unhappy Nathan was.

A couple of months ago Deb took an overdose and died. That was the worst day of his life, he felt like someone had ripped out his heart.

Worst of all he felt trapped. Trapped with Dan. Just before his mother overdosed she was filing for divorce they were finally going to be free, away from him. They were going to move to Tree Hill with Karen and Keith. They would finally be a family him, Deb, Karen, Keith, Lucas and Karen's unborn child. They were going to be happy, that was the plan.

Nathan and Lucas were going to be brothers, Nathan was going to apologise and it would of worked out somehow.

When Deb died Dan carried on with everything as if nothing happened he continued to pressure Nathan not caring how upset he was. Dan was even smiling more, like Debs death was a miracle.

Nathan hated his life. His grades went down, Nathan was never smart but he always got reasonably good grades atleast but he was failing all of his classes.

When Nathan grades continued to drop he finally got kicked of the basketball team. That's when Dan changed he hated Nathan for it. After another argument Nathan snapped and attacked Dan. When a neighbour walked past there house they called the police when they saw what was happening through the window.

Dan ended up in hospital but after Keith begged him not to press charges Dan agreed.

But there was no way Keith Scott was letting Nathan back there. He knew what Dan was like after what he did to Karen and Lucas. Keith knew how he could be and understood what caused Deb to turn to drugs.

After talking to Karen and Lucas Keith decided to let Nathan move to Tree Hill and live with them. Dan agreed as far as he was concerned Nathan was dead to him. The feeling was mutual for Nathan.

Last week Nathan moved to Tree Hill he'd seen some of it, the cafe, the river court, not much though. Nathan didn't really care he'd stayed in his room he hung out with Lucas abit they were getting along ok. They were kind of awkward around eachother but Lucas liked him.

Nathan thinks Lucas is kind of a dork but he likes him, Lucas doesn't judge him and understands why he was mean to him.

Nathan liked it in Tree Hill but it didn't feel right. Without his Mom he felt alone.

Lucas told him there was some hot girls in Tree Hill but Nathan wasn't looking for a hot girl. For any girl what was the point in loving someone when your gonna get hurt?

He loved Deb and she died. He loved Dan who now hates him. Nathan didn't see the point in love and swore that he wouldn't fall in love, because you'll always get hurt no matter what.

Little does Nathan know that his feeling about love will change pretty soon...

Love it? Hate it? Let me know!

I know its not that good so please don't be mean:(

but let me know what you think.. in a nice way:)
