#friendship in raven brooks

[kissorkill16]

See, this was really confusing to me, because I have a couple of HN AU's with Nicky in them.

1. He goes into the woods and asks The Guest to kill him, but ends up joining the cult, but as "The Dove."

2. He joins the gang in Season 2 to help with the Crowface mystery.

3. A Secret Neighbor AU where he, Aaron and Mya have to work together to save Mrs. Peterson.

4. Friendship In Raven Brooks, where Nicky met Aaron, Mya, Enzo, Maritza and Trinity sooner. (Along with the rest of the Secret Neighbor gang.)

So I got really confused on which one you wanted me to explain further.

General Thoughts on Waking Nightmare (Hello Neighbor)

(Spoilers, obviously.)

I'll be blunt. Waking Nightmare is by far the best Hello Neighbor media that I've ever interacted with. Not best in the sense of “It's at least better than the rest of the franchise”, but in the sense that's actually fantastic.

So, the plot tries to focus on two main things at once, with side plots that focus more on the relationships between the cast. These two things are: the absence of Aaron and Mya, and the Earthpro plan.

To me, what makes this book better than Missing Pieces is how much it focuses on the different points of view regarding a topic. And how--sometimes--you won't find a right or wrong side, just different beliefs that are unique to each and every character, their lives.

You see this with Nicky's parents. Jay wants to maintain his integrity as a journalist and not slander Mr. Peterson, given how Earthpro's approach on the Golden Apple plan are, by his words, “anti-Peterson”. But Lu believes that the university's chemistry could benefit from Earthpro, which would help her job. So you can see the problem.

Also, even if Earthpro's approach is akin to that of a greedy company (like, some companies), Mrs. Yi did raise a pretty important point: the ruins of the Park marked a tragedy that changed Raven Brooks forever. And, out of everyone, she probably has the most place to talk here, given that it was her daughter who died in the accident.

I also want to emphasize Enzo and Nicky's friendship. They have a fall-out in the middle of the book, though both of them had valid points. Nicky is right about Peterson, and is in his right to suspect that there's more about Aaron and Mya. But you can't exactly blame Enzo for not wanting Maritza around this, especially after what Peterson said to her just after Lucy's death.

But they're 12 (something really significant to keep in mind), so they both said things they eventually regret having said.

Lucy is a really amazing character. She's the unseen main character, not making any physical appearance, but still directly relevant to the plot.

The book in general is kind of sad. Especially how it handles Nicky's feelings over the disappearance of his best friend. Although I'll say that part of the police officers not taking their evidence seriously kinda pissed me off. But this is part of our reality, too--neglectful police.

Overall, better than Missing Pieces, and I look forward to Buried Secrets (though I'm afraid the conclusion will disappoint me somehow).

2. APPLE FREAKIMG WHITE IDC !!!! yes shes mean and controlling but shes also learninf that everything shes been told for 16 years is a lie . in her heart she just wants everyone to be happy but she doesnt know what happiness is without her happily ever after. stop being mean to her

3. darling !! she should be in prison like how did she steal a knights armour, chases honour, her brothers girlfriend AND my heart ????????? also the darling/apple/daring/rosabella love square is hilarious to me soz

4. speaking of rosa shes literally the sweetest girl ever why do so many people hate her ???? i wish they had touched more on her beast qualities / how the beauty and beast qualities mix but shes sooo cute ! shes an activist and her family is one of the only ones we see use their power and money for good. rosa just CARES so so deeply about everyone, even her roommate's spoiled brother...

5. maddie her characterisation is soooo perf !! her friendship w brooke and raven and cedar and the wonderlandians obvi but shes so much more than the sidelined best friend. the story literally would not go on without her. shes the glue holding ever after together, the thread binding the pages together.

Post-Save Arcadia Bay headcanons

Since we never got anything detailing what happens after Max saved Arcadia Bay, not a mention in LIS 2 or a single comic on what could've happened because Square Enix refuses to give us post content for EVERY ending in LIS. Here is my personal headcanon and what a hypothetical Post-Save The Bay universe could look like.

There is a long period of grieving after the funeral. And nightmares of Jefferson.

The Blue Butterfly is a constant presence in Max's dreams

This would be the story of Max trying to move on, going through grief, Warren, Kate and the rest of Max’s friends helping Max through this sad period of her life.

Warren comes to sleep with Max to help soothe her nightmares. Sometimes her friends have sleepovers so they don't leave Max alone.

Max goes to the psychologist. She takes pictures but almost all of them are Chloe related. At the same time with her friends. There, Max learns to value her friends EVEN more and vows not to abandon them like she did with Chloe.

Max learns to listen and get to know herself more. And to be as brave as Chloe was

Much like the raven was for BTS. Max will dream of Chloe, trying to convince Max she has to let go of her guilt and move on with her life but know that she will always be in Max’s heart and also for her.

Warren would be a positive presence for Max, always there for her and a good influence during her grieving period. They’d watch movies together in their dorm rooms and just hangout. Warren’s presence soothes Max’s broken heart and this is why Max slowly falls in love with him.

Kate, Warren, Dana, Alyssa, Stella, Juliet, Daniel and even Victoria would be there for Max

With Kate, Kate is Max’s angel. Like Warren, Kate lifts Max up after the loss of Chloe. Kate would play her violin for Max, take Max to her Church groups and Kate would allow Alice to love Max up and tea dates just to brighten Max’s days up.

Max and Victoria would make peace and Victoria would help her through her grief, which would result in Max and Victoria finally becoming friends. Victoria, Taylor and Courtney would take Max out for shopping, dress Max up and Victoria would help reignite Max’s love for photography and would not let Jefferson ruin her passion. Max and Victoria together would take some killer shots. Victoria would tell Max “when you are a famous photographer, you can put your pictures in my gallery” and it was a deal, Max would focus on becoming a photographer and Victoria would become heir to the Chase Space. Max and Victoria embrace in a hug.

Max would confront Nathan in a mental institution. Upon being visited by Max, Nathan would break down in tears and tell her he did not mean to kill Chloe, hurt Kate or hurt Rachel. He didn’t want to hurt anyone and profusely apologize, but he knows he has to live with what he’s done and Max takes it upon herself to forgive Nathan and hug him. This results in a monthly visit where Max and Victoria would visit Nathan, think of this like the fanfic The Sense Of Me for Max and Nathan’s friendship.

We could also get a dream of Chloe telling Max that she loves Joyce and that she forgives her and misses her and Max would tell Joyce this and Joyce would break down in tears.

As enough time to process the grief and begin healing, Max and Warren go Ape and Max thanks Warren for being there for her during her mourning and Max tells her how much she appreciates Warren and confesses that she loves him and kisses Warren. Also Max and Warren would go on a double date with Brooke and Daniel

Time passes and Max would graduate from Blackwell with a promising career in photography on the horizon. But also an interest in photojournalism sparks Max's interest

It could close on Max, Warren, Kate, Nathan(would be after his release and after he visits Chloe’s grave and breaks down and says he’s sorry, would also make peace with Kate, Joyce and David), Victoria, Dana, Juliet, Stella, Brooke, Daniel, Alyssa, Steph, Mikey, Frank, Joyce and David at the Lighthouse. Chloe’s spirit looking on her family and Max proudly, and Chloe’s spirit finally moves on.

I NEED to know what Aaron's like in this AU

Great question... Not to... spoil the fun.. She's a very messy middle school kid who is an unfortunate victim of circumstances.

I rewrote it instead of Aaron travelling around the world it was more like Diane and Ted rode across America because of Ted's projects and Aaron was born in Orlando, Florida during the mids of Ted building Bosco Bay. But! She mostly does not remember much about Florida and grew up under the buckle of Raven Brooks being an ABSOLUTE outcast for as long as she remembers, she of course she and her dad buds heads and no matter how long Aaron tries to live to the expectations, she's never gonna live up to him so she's more incline to reach more with her mom and though she doesn't intend it she sometimes feels an inferiority complex to Mya (Despite them both suffering no Ted not abusing her does not mean it's peachy for her)

Still was friends with Enzo at one point till the bucket hit about the "Did you see Lucy fly?" comment towards Maritza thus the Espositos don't go there no longer so Aaron has some codependency traits when it comes to his friendship with Nick who he himself is very new to this too...

She's a very messy character having to emotionally try to navigate her emotions, having to deal with her father's ruling fist under the family and eventually uncovering one of the worst secrets that he kept for so long that broke the family apart and Ted is trying to mend the mess he felt Aaron started

[rumbleonthemill]

I asked chatGPT to write a love story between the two:

"In the charming town of Raven Brooks, where mysteries often unfolded, two hearts found a connection that transcended the boundaries of fear and curiosity. Theodore Peterson, known by the locals as the mysterious neighbor, and Nicky Roth, a newcomer with an adventurous spirit, discovered a unique and unexpected bond.

Nicky, fascinated by the stories surrounding Theodore's house, couldn't resist the allure of its mysterious charm. One day, driven by curiosity and an adventurous spirit, Nicky decided to explore the enigmatic abode. Little did he know that this decision would lead him to the most remarkable discovery of all – the gentle heart of Theodore.

As Nicky entered the house, he was greeted by a warm smile from Theodore, who had longed for companionship amidst the solitude. Instead of the horror and suspense Nicky expected, he found a cozy haven filled with books, artwork, and the gentle hum of creativity. Theodore, it turned out, was not a recluse but a soul with a passion for art and invention.

Their friendship blossomed as they spent days exploring hidden corners of the house, sharing dreams, and supporting each other's aspirations. Theodore's inventive mind complemented Nicky's adventurous spirit, creating a perfect harmony. Their laughter echoed through the once-quiet halls, turning the house into a sanctuary of joy and companionship.

Over time, their connection deepened, evolving into a love that was as unexpected as it was genuine. Theodore and Nicky discovered a shared passion for creating beautiful things, be it art, inventions, or simply moments of happiness. The once-mysterious neighbor and the curious newcomer found solace and completeness in each other's presence.

Their love story became a beacon of hope in Raven Brooks, proving that even in the most unexpected places, love could flourish. As the town embraced the tale of Theodore Peterson and Nicky Roth, it transformed into a place where acceptance and understanding triumphed over preconceived notions.

In the heart of Raven Brooks, the house that once held secrets and whispers now stood as a symbol of love, breaking the barriers of fear and judgment. Theodore and Nicky's love story became a legend, inspiring future generations to look beyond appearances and seek the beauty that lies within every unexpected connection. And so, in the town that thrived on mystery, love became the greatest enigma of all, forever etching the names Theodore and Nicky into the hearts of Raven Brooks."

maybe I should retire :(

Why are you being a pain? J&E friendship

Summer, 2015. Keeping the Rhythm.

Standing outside of a gothic-style church in the heart of Chicago, Jackie looks at a familiar mass of friends and family, standing outside of its dreary gates.

Well, with the exception of a scrawny old man, who is staring down at his feet like a small child.

In turn, Jackie waltzes on over, with a loud, obnoxiously scoff. "Why are you being a pain?"

"My feet hurt." Eric's loafers awkwardly collide with the sidewalk, as he glances up at the still raven-haired vulture. "I think I might have arthritis or something."

Jackie dismissively chuckles, showing off her Jimmy Choos. "You wouldn't last a day in high heels."

Eric attempts to cool a faded aura of tension, left over from the ills of the past, with a small, lighthearted little factoid. "Did you know that men were the first to wear high heels? Louis XIV didn't like that he was short, so..."

Jackie laughs, once again. "What, did you read that off a popsicle stick or something?"

Eric rolls his eyes, at Jackie's sheer dismissiveness, as they both truly return to their youthful, playful, and brutal rhythm. "I'm a history teacher, so..."

"You like to talk about old, rusty things like yourself?"

He defiantly crosses his arms, with wild hand gestures. "Rusty pot, rusty kettle."

"Rusty kettle?" Jackie dramatically flips her hair, with a rebellious smirk. "I'm almost two years younger than you."

"A year and a half," Eric corrects, in the tone of an aged teacher, "You're still over the hill, and through the woods..."

"To grandmother's house we go?" Leah and James emerge from the small crowd, and James is cradling a fussy bundle of joy, his tiny face as red as his hair. "We're doing this for you, Mom. Because God doesn't exist..."

Jackie can't help but scoff at her son. She loves him, but he can be obnoxious sometimes. "Can you stop being such an atheist at my grandson's christening?"

The other scarlet-haired grandmother finally exits the looming mass, after talking to Brooke for a few moments, cooing at her grandson. As James allows Donna to take the boy, a cute chubby thing with pale, freckly skin and icy blue eyes.

Donna smiles, as little Caleb immediately stops fussing and starts to beam, from ear to ear.

"Don't you mean our grandson?"

Jackie can't help but lovingly glance at her grandson, if only for a mere second, before racing over to play with her little prince. Playing a game of peek-a-boo.

With the exception of those iconic baby blues, the resemblance to one particular set of grandparents is incredibly uncanny. "Yeah, he looks like you two."

Eric nods, ever so proudly. "The Donneric Formciotti genes are strong."

"Unlike you?" Jackie shoots back, glancing at Donna, "Donna can still kick your ass."

Eric jokingly covers Caleb's ears. "Our grandson doesn't need to hear that language..."

Hyde finally ambles on over, kissing Jackie's temple as Eric and Donna loudly and jokingly coo. "Shit's ready to go, doll."

Jackie kisses him back, with a defiant roll of the eyes, at Eric's expense. "Yeah, we're so the cool grandparents."

Friendship In Raven Brooks: A Hello Neighbor Fanfic

By JJ

Summary: They all just wanted to live their lives, and then they met each other and became the bestest friend group you'll ever see.

Chapter 4

A week after, Aaron, Mya and their mother had went to the nearest mall for clothes for their first day of school.

"Is this seriously the only mall in this town?", Mya said.

"Honey, it was the closest one I could find.", said her mother. She stopped walking down the long halls of the mall and looked at her children, "Please try to make the most of it, babies."

Aaron and Mya exchanged a look. They knew their mother was trying their best to try and adjust to this town. Why else would she drive all the way here just to buy them nice clothes?

So they nodded at their mother.

"Mom, can I go walk around for a bit?", asked Aaron, "I just want to see if there's anything I like."

Mrs. Peterson thought about it for a moment, then she nodded. "Okay, honey. I'll be doing the same thing. Just take your sister with you."

Aaron nodded and took Mya's hand, walking away.

Mya looked around at the other booths filled with different types of jewelry, game consoles, shoes, and other things you'd normally see in a mall.

Then again, there was also a creepy statue of a smiling apple and a stand filled with scratchy hemp sandals.

He walked over to one of the booths called Gamer's Grado, despite Mya being reluctant and trying to pull him back.

"I want to go see if they have any toys.", she said. "Later, sis. I want to see if they have anything good here."

Aaron walked the store, Mya just followed behind him.

He was just looking around, and then he saw a familiar reflection in one of the stands. He turned around to see Nicky, and next to him was another boy in a white shirt and cardigan.

He smiled and walked over to him, "Nicky!", he said. Nicky turned around to see him, and his eyes lit up. "Aaron! Hi!"

They hugged each other, and Nicky pulled away for a moment to introduce the kid next to him. "Aaron, this is Enzo Esposito. His dad is friends with my dad."

Enzo gave him a little half wave, "Nice to meet you.", he said. Aaron gave him a half wave too, "Hey."

On the other side of Nicky was a couple of shopping bags, "Yeah, I came here with my dad. We were supposed to be buying me clothes."

"And I'm here with my dad and my sister.", said Enzo. "But my dad went with Nicky's dad to play with their little dad tinker toys and massage chairs.", he rolled his eyes and scoffed. "I literally don't get it. That stuff is literally the same shit they sell in airplane catalogs, but Dad says those are a waste of money!"

As he rambled, Aaron and Nicky just watched him awkwardly.

Nicky spoke up when he was done. "You said you had a sister?", he asked. "Where is she?"

Enzo rolled his eyes once again. "She wanted to go explore the mall by herself. She said she wanted to go shopping for something special and she wanted to change something about herself this school year, for fun, not to fit in.", then she scoffed once again. "She's freaking 10 years old, why does she need to change something about herself? Why does she want to do stuff by herself? She's freaking 10. Years. Old."

Mya rolled her eyes, "She seems lucky.", she mumbled.

"Well, we're supposed to be buying back to school clothes anyway. So why don't we go explore the rest of the mall?", said Aaron.

Everyone seemed to agree with that, and they all walked out of Gamer's Grado.

Enzo had taken Aaron and Mya to Gear, the same place he took Nicky. Nicky was a little embarrassed to shop there, since he wasn't exactly as well off as Enzo's family, but Enzo was able to hook him up.

And luckily, Enzo was able to hook up Aaron and Mya too after one talk with the guy behind the counter.

Aaron smiled as he walked around the store and grabbed a couple of shirts and pairs of pants. He liked Enzo, not as much as Nicky, but he had a feeling that him and Enzo were going to be great friends.

As the others shopped around Gear, Nicky decided to go explore the mall, and he walked into the beauty supply store a couple of shops away from Gear.

Ironically, he just wanted to walk around somewhere until his new friends were done shopping.

He had looked around the store at all of the eyeshadow pallets and sticks of different colored lipsticks, when he suddenly bumped into someone.

"S-Sorry.", he said, rubbing his chest and backing away. And his eyes widened in shock.

He had bumped into a girl with wavy, chocolate brown hair, caramel skin, and sparkling brown eyes. She looked absolutely stunning.

Poor Nicky didn't even notice that his mouth was hanging open, until the girl called him out on it.

"Hey.", she said, "Your mouth is hanging open."

Nicky's face turned red and he immediately shut his mouth, "Sorry!", he said. "Sorry for bumping into you."

The girl waved her hand, "It's fine.", she said. She bent over to pick up something, and Nicky saw that it was a bottle of blue hair dye.

Nicky didn't want to pry, but it didn't seem like being nosy just asking a simple question, right? "You're dyeing your hair?", he asked. The girl looked down at the bottle and smiled at Nicky. "Yeah, it's for school."

They began walking down the aisle of the store as they talked. "I told my dad that I wanted to do something different this school year. Since I'm starting middle school, I want to be a different girl.", she said. She crossed her arms and looked at her shoes, "My idiot brother doesn't think I should do it. He still thinks I'm too young."

Nicky's eyebrows raised in shock. "You have a brother?", he asked. "Does his name happen to be...Enzo?"

Nicky knew he should stop asking questions, since this felt like being nosy rather than just asking questions. But fortunately, the girl didn't think so, and she answered the question anyway.

"Yeah.", she said. "Why?"

"My dad's friends with his and your dad, they were roommates back in college.", replied Nicky. "It's kind of weird. Our dads are friends, so now we have to be friends."

The girl looked down at the floor, then shrugged and looked back at Nicky. "I don't think it's weird at all.", she said. "I think I could really enjoy being your friend."

Nicky's face turned red again. He was really talking about him and Enzo, he wasn't talking about him and this girl. But he guessed she probably knew what she meant by that.

He nervously rubbed the back of his head.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I caught your name.", he said.

"I didn't throw it.", said the girl.

Wow. Rude. Then the girl laughed and waved her hand at him again.

"I'm kidding.", she said in between giggles. "Maritza. Maritza Esposito."

"Nicky Roth."

Maritza smiled at him and walked away.

Nicky watched as she walked away from him, and he was kind of disappointed to realize that if he ever saw this girl again, she'd have different colored hair. He liked her brown hair.

"Hey!"

He jumped up when he heard Aaron call out to him. "Hey, Nicky.", said Aaron.

"Hey, Aaron."

Mya came from behind him and ran to Nicky, and she started running circles around him. "Oh my gosh! You won't believe what we got! This place is awesome!"

Enzo walked out of the store, looking a little exhausted. "Ugh! This is totally coming out of my allowance.", he mumbled. Nicky walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Why don't we go find our parents? They're probably bored right now and wondering where we are.", Nicky suggested.

The kids agreed and went to find their parents, all carrying their shopping bags.

Something told them that they were going to end up being great friends.

jean paul valley

Sexuality Headcanon: bisexual #BIJPVREAL. i do think his attraction to women is genuine - he just has a hard time approaching romantic feelings and attraction in general despite feeling both pretty intensely at times because of a mixture of him not being the most socially adept + complications from religious cult brainwashing and thus [gestures at how he is with selina and cindy brookes and talia and lilhy and mitzi fredang that one time]. he likes men and other genders too because he told me personally (slash joke… or is it?)

Gender Headcanon: i read him as a cis guy, but as with raven, i support others’ hcs otherwise. i think it’d be worth digging into his relationship with masculinity given his… testy relationships to older male authority figures + the heavy focus on strict gender separatism within the order of st. dumas (although until he became aware of azrael he was unaware he was raised with much of their influence for most of his life) + sharing a body with azrael among other things and how he might feel about gender as a result.

A ship I have with said character: don’t have one but i like the potential of him and luke fox aka… jeanluke. if i had to pick a jpv ship to put my full support behind, that’d be the one.

A BROTP I have with said character: EZ. i’d say my favorite friendship-to-trump-all-friendships for him is he and barbara gordon 100%, but i also adore he and cass. babs is far and away the healthiest relationship he’s ever had; she isn’t there to use he or azrael, doesn’t constantly reinforce that he or azrael are inherently dangerous, she just enjoys his company. when jean-paul and az don’t know where else to go when they need help and can’t immediately try bruce, they go to her. i could say more but to not ramble for paragraphs they’re siblings who love each other so much and their relationship was so deeply important it saddens me that there’s a 10 foot thick sheet of unbreakable glass between them. what i wouldn’t give for one more “champ”. cass is also someone who jp feels comfortable enough to go on tangents around versus his usual manner of short speech with a lot of other cohorts. azrael threw himself in front of a blast to shield her. they were cass’s first partner during her first mission as batgirl and the two of them understand each other on a deeper level and just enjoy each other’s company and with all of the other similarities between them that could’ve been explored it’s a shame they don’t have more of substance. i’m walking on AIR that i could have them back soon.

A NOTP I have with said character: jpv/cass [boo sfx]. jpv/tim [ewww sfx + booo sfx + 🍅🍅🍅].

A random headcanon: trying not to rapid fire list ‘em off so here’s one from The Vault: his favorite flavor of ice cream IS, as it turns out, pistachio.

General Opinion over said character:

[northcarolinamuses]

haley hates sports. despises them. absolutely despises them. "hales, you just don't get the magic of it all. the goosebumps of a buzzer beater, an upset. there's nothing like it," her best friend would explain time and time again. because of course she'd be blessed with one who was a basketball guy to his core. yeah, maybe she didn't get it, but she was a songwriter. and passion was passion, she supposed, any way you could swing it. maybe some people's passion were simply just sweaty guys running up and down a court for forty eight minutes, give or take. the university of north carolina games that were constantly on at karen and luke's were simply background music to her. but in small towns across the united states with nothing else to do, sports were the only thing people had to care about. in most, it was all about football. if one was gonna make a teen drama about a small town, it'd be about football. but in tree hill? basketball reigned supreme. how black and blue banners and signs would hang in businesses' windows on main street, people's lawns, go ravens! come support your ravens! the basketball team were treated like gods and haley wanted no part of that world. but whether she liked it or not, she was in it. dragged in head first. stupid nathan, stupid lucas, stupid basketball.

haley james was not stupid. the very first time nathan scott walked into the tutoring center and said she was his tutor, she saw right through him. she was just a pawn in his little game to hurt lucas. he didn't think she'd actually fall for it, did he? because he wasn't a god, he was a pretentious dick. but the ball was in her court. and if he wanted her to continue tutoring him, he'd leave lucas the hell alone. but then something weird happened. she discovered he had a soft side. more than a soft side, she could bring the six five jock to his knees in a matter of moments. the conformation that he wasn't a villain. just simply the product of his environment. he had the biggest dick in the world as a father, no wonder he turned out how the way he did. she had never been in love before. only read about it, seen it in movies, listened to it in music. but god, it was even more terrifying than she could ever have imagined. more than anything, she was terrified of getting hurt. he could break her heart just like that. that's she was afraid of, not being enough, because at the end of the day, she was just haley. she wasn't a brooke davis or a peyton sawyer. just haley.

the closer she got to nathan, the farther away she became from lucas. her best friend hated it, hated that she chose nathan over him. but she hadn't. why? why did she have to choose one of them? they were both important to her. she loved both of them. in a different way, but still. so she was in the middle of it and her and luke were not talking. out of all the years of friendship, they had never not talked for this long. he was just being unreasonable. yes, she could understand to a point, but couldn't he just trust that maybe she knew what she was doing? he has you branded like a damn cow, hales. he doesn't even know about it! just fuck off, luke. yes, maybe getting her boyfriend's number on her lower back was insane, but who cares? haley james was in love for the first time. maybe nathan scott was her forever, maybe he wasn't, but right now all she felt was so much... love. her heart could simply burst at how much she was in love with him. she never she could love anyone this much. he had her, every inch of her. haley finally understood all those love songs.

the age old classic late nineties early two thousands coming of age rom com where the jock and nerd fall in love. very rachael leigh cook and freddie prinze jr of them, clearly. very hilary duff and chad michael murray. at this point, someone could've stamped virgin on her head, whore on his. a kiss in the rain. how very rom com of them. right now, the world is just the two of them. that's how she liked it. being this close to him was just so.... peaceful. paradise. bliss. the word forever makes her head spin. he could really love her forever? no way. "forever, huh? oh, you say the sweetest things to me, nathan scott," she giggled, "so could i, so could i," she sighed happily against him. of course she could. she wanted to.

darkness scattered through the dim view of the dingy solo level apartment window. the blistering pelt of rain ricocheted off the glass in tandem. the cacophony echoing in rhythm with each thunderous roar of his heart pounding against his chest. nathan scott was in love. more than in love. each fiber of his body was made up solely of haley james. each waking thought, sleepy daydream, and consuming conversation had some inkling of her in it. yet how could he admit that he was falling for his once well acquainted tutor who fell under false pretenses? his plan of a takedown to his half brother didn’t necessarily go without a hitch. it had it’s hiccups, of course. payback for all he had worked for — or should he say, his father worked for, as he so liked to recall — that was soon foretold to be taken away. his plans of being tree hill high’s shining basketball star with all others faltering to the dust. the relationship with said brother was knowingly nonexistent in the small town gossip train grapevine. middle aged mothers flocked at the chance of assessing old, matured wounds with their sharp, twisted words. all his life, nathan had been told of the tow headed subject that paralleled his world in every single way. the only difference is dan scott was a driving force in his life, where as lucas had the shockingly fair life from the younger sibling’s point of view. it was anything but a cake walk navigating the self centered point in the solar system known as his dad. and if there wasn’t compliance, there were consequences. it was all details that were collected into the wider picture. the praise and satisfaction that lacked in the scott family.

and yet, here he was. breath to breath with the honey haired beauty whom he had entrusted with his heart. it hadn’t always been this way. prior to meeting the five-foot-four-inched best friend of his half brother, nathan was anything if not a self proclaimed jerk. his exterior had hardened as his father before him, unabashed to do much other than take the easy road. a jock to his core, he carried himself with the fragile ego that most were painted with when looking to anyone labeled an athlete. and with a sport to spill into his cup, it left next to nothing for his academics. a loophole, or so it would seem. it was nearly a match made in heaven that lucas’ best friend was one of the smartest individuals in their grade. as he sauntered into the tutoring center, feigned bewilderment followed in the crease of his eyebrow as he called out, “hey, you must be haley,”

and that, was the beginning of the rollercoaster his emotions had taken him to now. she had been his aid in mathematics, english, history; and when it came down to it, love. many months in the past half year he recollected the dawns memories of entangling with the bleach blonde curls, cherry chapstick, curved jaw of one peyton sawyer. if there was an award for the boyfriend of the year, he would have won in spades. on opposite day. two years of a catastrophic relationship that ended just how is started. a failure. the knowledge of his battered ways has weighed heavy on his heart as of late. how in the hell did she put up with his pungent ways for so long? nathan wasn’t sure. what he was sure of, in the very least, was how he felt for haley. confessing the love to her that was paired with kisses shared in the rain. the cool edge of the raindrops simmered the flames that were ignited in the depths of his chest. i want to be somebody worthy of being with you, he said. not a single syllable of a fib uttered. somehow, within the matter of minutes they had migrated from outside to the four walls of his apartment. which led to the present. eager hues drank in his opposite like a tall glass of water, within the boundary that was set of no return. nathan scott wasn’t a virgin. that was a known fact. it seemed every student at tree hill high school had knowledge of such. and with that knowledge was also that of not pursuing haley in a manner she didn’t consent to doing. the tanned teen was crafting certain perspective that entailed obeying the wishes of his tutor. no pressure, no impulse.

there he laid, hovering in delicate fashion over the silhouette of his girlfriend’s stature. the harsh light of the pitch black sky was scarcely lit with the thrum of lighting that crackled in the sky every so often. but he didn’t need the gift of sight to know how stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful haley was. drips of residual raindrops trickled off the fringe of his hair, popping into the pleats of the covers on his bed. they were wet from the rain, soaking even. and still, the teen couldn’t find a single flaw found in her. the best of brokenness between kisses led him to gaze with euphoric stamina, each breath he inhaled as dark eyes fluttered open to meet what he knew to be her own pair. rotund fingertips spread along the flush of her cheek to the bend of her ear, tucking wet strands of hair behind. his nose brushed carefully along the tip of her own, the lightest of touch before the words that flooded through his conscientious shattered into the atmosphere like a bang of a gong. “i could love you forever, haley james…” it began, forehead to her own now, the warmth of each breath she drew hitting his cheek in an intoxicating force. so this was love. where every morsel of mind body and soul swirling together like the bleat of rain now ignored in the background. where everything felt right despite the outside world had no influence of what was had in the right now.

this world is a terrifying place it's the worst kind of horror one that you can never escape one that threatens to ruin you by draining you of hope but don't let it don't you dare let the world swoop in and rip away your heart because your heart, no matter how fragmented, contains galaxies  so yes, you can yes, you will you will fight by using your voice you will conquer by using your soul you will thrive by using your heart and I will be right behind you cheering you on like you have done for me because you have inspired me to be a hurricane and you have allowed me to be a sunrise  and I, I am privileged to have the chance to have you in my life and for that I owe you everything I can give and they may be coming for those who think they can set on fire to these ancient souls and wounded minds and burning hearts but they can not touch us  because we are the daughters of those they tried to destroy once before

He did really piss me off, especially with the way he kept trying to get in the way of Marissa and Ryan's relationship. Ryan deserved better than the shit he had in the show.

I love Sandy, deffo the parent figure everyone wanted growing up. I loved how Summer's relationship with Seth progressed too. She was the better one out of her and Marissa.

I also hated Lucas in OTH, since he joined the ravens he completely changed. He let the popularity ruin him and it ruined the friendship with Jimmy. If they hadn't abandoned Jimmy, he probably wouldn't have killed himself the way he did. Also with the way he ruined Brooke and Peyton's friendship and how he never supported Haley with her crush or relationship for Nathan. He just turned out to be like Dan in the first season and it really shaped his character. He was the most like Dan out of Nathan and himself

But I loved Brooke and Haley's friendship though, and Nathan and Skills friendship in the end too. But I did also have a crush on Brooke and Nathan to be fair.

But I almost died when I noticed that the one who played Nikki was also the woman from NFS Carbon. The first gaming character I had a crush on too.

Now I am deffo rambling but OTH did start my obsession with Gavin's music. His voice is just amazing.

Did you used to watch The O.C too?

I remember I used to have a crush on Marissa when I used to watch it. Was proper sad when she died too, especially with it taking practically three seasons for Ryan and Marissa to get together. But Taylor was also good for Ryan in the last season, I loved how their relationship unfolded in the end. Deffo would have loved to have seen more of Taylor and Ryan together

I did! It was my first western tv show, and i was obsessed. I made vids out of in on youtube lol 🤣

Same, I'd say Mischa Barton was my childhood crush 🥰

I also agree with you that Taylor was good for Ryan. Marissa was a mess and I was okay with her just leaving because she was so messed up.
