_{❛    nathan    ,   open up!     ❜     within a matter of seconds after feverishly pounding on nathan’s door and shouting his name    ———     ,   second thoughts were already beginning to SETTLE IN.    tree hill was pitch black    ,    as it was definitely too late at night to be at her best friend’s doorstep with a busted lip   ,  basically having a panic attack.    they all had school tomorrow.    but somehow imposing on the others didn’t seem like the better option   ——–     ,   not having any desire to walk in on brooke and lucas    ,   nor bombard peyton who already had enough to deal with.   so the younger scott    ,   of whom knew her better than anyone else seemed like the way to go.    the only one of them who really understood her situation.    ❛    nathan!   nath   ——-     ❜       at seeing the door handle jiggle   ,    the tall figure jumped back with shallow breaths.    glancing all around like a deer caught in the headlights.}       @canesvenatiici
