The New Year
Summary: A Naley New Year. Please review.
The whole gang gathered at Tric to ring in the New Year. The place was decked out with balloons, streamers, lights, the whole nine yards. The group had a large booth in the corner that overlooked the dance floor. Deb and Karen with the help of Keith were behind the bar, the owners of the club enjoying one of their biggest nights of the year. Even Dan showed up and didn't make a scene.
A slow song played and couples were out on the dance floor.
Jake and Peyton were on the dance floor enjoying the slow dance.
"You did an awesome job organizing the this party." Jake commented.
"Thank you so much." She replied with a kiss.
"You're so good at this.. this whole music thing.. you really should pursue it."
"It's a hobby."
"A hobby… I know you. . this is what you want to do .. art and music.. you can do both.. I know you can."
"Stop.." Peyton blushed.
"I'm serious.. this is your dream.. you should follow it." Jake stated.
She looked at him and smiled again. "And when did you get so wise and sweet."
"Nathan."
Peyton choked, "What?"
"Yeah, he told me how he and Haley went after their dreams and look how happy they are.. I want the same for you."
Peyton looked down knowing for sure he cheeks were as red as can be.
Flashback
A few days earlier, Jake went over to the river court and saw Nathan shooting some baskets. He arrived early and the two started to talk while they waited for the rest of their friends to show up.
"That dirty grin must mean that Nathan Scott had a good Christmas."
"Like you wouldn't believe." Nathan replied, his smile getting bigger. "Where are these guys, if I knew they were going to be late, I would've slept so more .. Haley and I .." He cut himself off, realizing that he didn't want to give his friend too much information. It was already bad enough the guys have been giving him flack because of him and her.
"I don't know how you guys do it."
"Do what?"
"You and Haley.. I think you know that we are all jealous of you two."
"Of course." He smiled back.
"But seriously Nate.. how do you do it? After everything you guys went through.. like that time with Haley's tour and High Flyers."
"Wow… that seemed so long ago.. but I tell you man, it wasn't easy. Haley went after her dream of music.. I did basketball and as much as both enjoyed it .. we didn't have each other.. it took sometime to finally get it through both of our thick headed skulls that when we got married, we had a new dream.. and that was to be together and so that's what we did .. no matter how hard things got we stayed together ..anything more like music and basketball would be icing on the cake cuz we're already living out both of dreams." Nathan said with a smile.
"God, I hate you two." Jake said with a smile.
Back in the booth, Skills and Bevin sat on one end while Mouth and Rachel sat at the other.
"Come on, baby, let's dance." Bevin pleaded
"Dance? We've been dancing straight for 2 hours, papa needs a rest." Skills replied back.
"Fine… so baby, what's your New Year's resolution?"
"Resolution? I don't do that."
"You don't? Well I'll tell you mine and to get it done, I'll need your help."
"Ok, what is it?"
"A sex tape."
Skills almost choked on his drink. "What? Not that I wouldn't mind but .. what?!"
"Well apparently, that's the new cool thing to do now.. I know Brooke and Nathan did it before but Haley's bringing it back."
"Girl what're you talking about?" Skills asked confused.
"Well the other day …"
Flashback
Rachel walked inside Peyton's house, happy to see all the girls there in the living room, Bevin, Peyton, Haley, and Brooke.
"Bitches.. I have a treat for all of you." Rachel declared.
"What is it?" Bevin asked excited.
"Yeah." The other girls agreed.
"What's that you're holding behind your back?" Haley asked.
"Oh, you'll find out."
Rachel went over to the TV and put in a DVD into the player.
"Honey, save me some time and take off your clothes." Said a familiar voice from the speakers. Haley's face went into shock.
"Rachel turn that off! Where the hell did you get that?" Haley screamed but the other girls held her back as they wanted to see what was going on.
"Thank Lucas." Rachel said with a dirty grin.
On the screen, Nathan was on their bed taking off shirt with the girls giving hoots and whistles. Haley went on screen now, removing her shirt.
"Glad to see that your tattoo hasn't faded." Peyton commented.
Luckily the video wasn't long and it was just mostly Nathan and Haley making out in their underwear.
"Nice work tutorslut." Brooke commented. Haley flew out of her seat and started to chase Rachel around the living room, the whole room erupting with laughter.
--
"What're you thinking of?" Lucas asked as he and Brook were on the dance floor enjoying their slow dance.
"Just making a mental note to go to Best Buy tomorrow and get a video camera." Brooke thought to herself and she remembered why she wanted to get one, which made her smile. "There's a sale tomorrow and I want to go get something." She replied back to Lucas.
Lucas laughed, "Why am I not surprised?"
"Hey Mister, I think of other things besides shopping."
"Really, like what?"
"Well.. you for instance."
"Good answer." He said giving her a kiss.
"So what're your plans for the new year?" Brooke asked.
"To spend it with you."
"Good answer." She kissed him back. They continued to dance when Lucas felt like he stepped on something. He broke away from Brooke and got down to remove a piece of gum that had confetti on it from his shoes. Upon going down on his knees, Brooke immediately stoke out her hand and said "Yes, of course !" Lucas got back up and looked at her confused. Brooke smile faded as she realized what really happened.
Lucas started to laugh as he went back to dancing with Brooke.
"Shut up.. it's not funny."
"Yes it is." Noticing her sad face. "Hey what's wrong?"
"Well you just said that you wanted to spend the new year with me.. I thought it might include bells too you know."
"Brooke, look I'm not ready to get married and believe me, I know you aren't either."
"How do you know I'm not?" He looked at her with a stern face.
"Okay fine, maybe not but still…" Her eyes wandered to Nathan and Haley who were also dancing near them.
Lucas looked at his brother and sister in-law. "Hey, remember what you said when Peyton bought those black boots."
"With the high heel made of leather… I begged you to buy me it."
"But you don't wear boots because it makes your feet hurt and remember when Peyton and Haley went to that art show?"
"I wanted to go."
"Even though you hate art and the last time they took you to an art show, you complained the whole time."
"Your point Lucas."
"The point is that just because Nathan and Haley are married doesn't mean we have to be… I mean I love you .. and do you love me."
"Of course, I do."
"Then there.. that's it.. it shouldn't be about anyone else but us."
"I know .. it's just that its Naley.. you know.. they were married as juniors.. that was so wild and romantic too."
"Don't forget stupid and wreckless and we both remember all the drama that followed them after that."
"Yeah but look at them now."
"Like I said, we might not be married but that doesn't mean we don't love each other.. and lets not forget the wild and crazy things we did.. like the first time you were in my back seat.. or the tattoo on my shoulder or that time in the janitor's closet.."
"Ok, point taken." Brooke stopped him and now it was her turn to blush. "But that doesn't mean a girl can't dream." She said resting her head on his chest.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." Lucas responded.
--
"So thanks for keeping me company tonight." Mouth turned to Rachel.
"My pleasure Mouth. .. so how was Christmas? Did you get everything you want?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, it was okay.. how about you?"
"Oh you know the usual, the parents fed ex a bunch of clothes, bags, cash."
"I'm sorry they weren't here."
"It's okay.. I got some good friends to spend the holidays with so all is not lost.. but it still sucks."
"Well if you didn't want clothes and stuff for Christmas, what do you really want?"
Rachel sighed said, "That."
Mouth followed Rachel's gaze, which was on Nathan and Haley who were slow dancing.
"Nathan? Didn't we go through this already."
"No, you idiot.. but it's not like I wouldn't mind.. but I want what they have."
"Which would be?"
"True love." She said simply. Mouth nodded and turned to her. "Me, too."
"Come on." She said, taking his hand. "Let's dance."
--
Haley looked up at Nathan with those longing eyes.
"What?"
"Just thinking about this past year.. or past years.. you've gone through so much."
"No, you've been through so much. Sometimes I wonder how you put up with me."
"Like you said before, it helps that your hot." They both laughed. "Well I'm just thinking of how much WE'VE gone through… we survived another year and knowing that this new year we'll face everything together.. actually every year for the rest of our lives … I just know we're going to be okay."
She looked up at him and ran her fingers through his dark hair. He's always been so handsome. The holidays had always made Haley reflective over everything in her life and her life is Nathan. "You're my forever.. my always .." He looked down intently on his wife, she looked so beautiful. She always looked beautiful, especially tonight with that sexy dress, her make up and hair done. The lights from the strobe lights reflected off her eyes. He didn't know what he did to be so lucky.
Looking up to meet his gaze, Haley melted. The way he looked at her, even now still made her weak in the knees. "God the way you look at me sometimes." She said breathlessly as her hand reached behind his head and pushed it towards her lips. They shared a beautiful tender kiss.
"Get a room you two." Rachel said as her and Mouth danced by her. Haley sent her a glaring look.
Nathan laughed. "Are you still mad about the dvd?"
"Which you made and left at Lucas'!" She hit his arm. "I could kill you for giving it to Lucas.. I could kill her for broadcasting it to the world and I could kill Lucas for giving it to her!"
He laughed harder. "This is not funny Scott."
"Yes, it is JamesssScott.." Haley smiled as a thought came into her head.
"You know I have a way to start the new year off with a bang." She said with a dirty grin.
--
10 .. 9 .. 8 .. 7 .. 6 .. 5 .. 4.. 3.. 2 .. 1.. "HAPPY NEW YEAR !" Tric erupted with cheer as whistles blew, music blared, confetti and balloons rained down on them.
Nathan and Haley wrapped their arms around each other.
"Happy New Year Mrs. Scott."
"Happy New Year Mr. Scott." The two kissed. They broke off their kiss and hugged and greeted their friends and family. Nathan hugged his parents as did Haley. Luke and Dan even managed a handshake.
After greeting everyone, Nathan pulled Haley aside and kissed her once more.
"What do you we get out of here?" Haley asked.
"Starting that whole new year with a bang, huh? I know you want me but I thought you might have some more restraint than that."
"Just get our coats." She smirked and grabbed his hand and took off.
Moments later, Nathan opened the door to Lucas' bedroom.
"What're we doing here?" He whispered.
"Nate, no one's home."
"I know that.. but yeah what're we doing here?"
"To do this." And with that Haley locked her lips with Nathan.
They broke off for air and Nathan looked at her slightly confused. "Consider it payback and well we did promise to buy Lucas new sheets, why not a new mattress?"
As soon as Haley finished those words, he slammed the door behind her and kissed her, both of them landing onto Lucas' bed.
--
"Hey Luke!" Skills called out as he entered Lucas' bedroom with Bevin and Rachel.
"You're not Luke." Skills responded as he saw Nathan and Haley sleeping on Lucas bed. They both woke up and Haley immediately pulled the sheets higher. Looking at their clothes strewn across the floor, Rachel walked up by Haley's side of the bed and lifted her bra to her.
"Good work, Haley. I didn't know you had it in you." Rachel commented.
Haley quickly grabbed her bra back and gave her a glaring look. She was so embarrassed.
Outside, Jake and Peyton got out of the car, while Luke and Brooke followed. As they made their way to Lucas' door, Brooke forgot her purse in the car and asked Lucas to go get it.
Jake and Peyton walked in first and was shocked to see Nathan and Haley in bed with Skills, Bevin and Rachel there. Brooke walked in a minute, "Hey guys, what's going … ahh!" Brooke shrieked as she saw the site of her two friends in bed together. She immediately opened the shopping bag she had in her hand and took out the new camcorder she just bought.
"Umm guys.." Haley bit her lower lip unsure of what to say. Nathan just looked at her and laughed.
"You find this funny, of course you do.. everyone here has seen YOU with out shirt on!"
"You two are such freaks." Peyton commented and everyone laughed.
"Hey what's going on?" Lucas said as he entered the room, his face dropped when he saw Nathan and Haley. Brooke turned the camera on him, "Oh that look is priceless." She commented.
"WHAT THE HELL!!" Lucas was furious, his anger overcoming the sense to throw up.
"Relax guys." Rachel said and turning to Brooke and Peyton. "I think the real question we've been wanting to know.. well at least I want to know.. which one is really the 'bigger' brother?"
Brooke and Peyton looked at each other, then looked back at Rachel.
"Nathan."
Nathan smirked.
"Way to go girl!" Bevin said putting her hand up so Haley could give her a high five. Instead she was mortified and put the sheets over her head buried herself onto Nathan's chest.
"Naughty girl, Brooke make sure you're getting this." Rachel commented.
Brooke turned the camera back to the bed, avoiding the angry look Luke was giving her. Also looking angry was Jake who was looking at Peyton. "What? I was just answering her question."
"Yeah what she said." Brooke commented looking at Lucas.
That's it EVERYONE OUT!" Lucas yelled out and kicked everyone, leaving only him, Haley, and Nathan in the room. Before leaving though, Brooke placed the camera on the dresser to make sure everything was still being recorded.
"Hey… let it be known that it was all Haley's faulty. She dragged me here."
"Traitor."
Lucas turned to Haley.
"Well you gave that DVD to Rachel."
"Yeah.. and now Brooke has a lot of footage with her new camera!!!"
"Relax little bro." Nathan commented, to which Lucas only grew angrier and Haley and Nathan just laughed.
Lucas picked up Nathan's pants and pulled out his brother's keys. "You want war.. I'll give you war."
He stormed out of the room but came back and took the camera. Everyone was gathered in the living room and Lucas pulled Brooke over.
"Come on, let's go."
"Where are we going?"
"To Nathan's?" Flashing Brooke his keys and the video camera.
Grabbing her purse, "Oh let's go!"
"Kinky." Rachel commented.
"You want to come?" Lucas shot her way, but Brooke immediately gave her that "don't you dare look."
They took off, leaving everyone confused.
Nathan and Haley came out a short time later.
"Where'd they go?" Nathan asked, to which everyone started laughing. Once the group told them what was going on, Nathan and Haley quickly took off.
"What a way to start the new year." Haley commented as they got in the car.
Nathan kissed her on the lips and started the car up. "You did want to start it with a bang… or bangs in our case."
The End…
