Look For Me In The Lilies

Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with One Tree Hill and anything that is associated with it.

A/N: I decided to write this because Karen is my favourite character on OTH and thought I'd write about Lily, her daughter with Keith. And I've noticed there are hardly any Lily Scott stories, well if there are I can't find them.

Pairings: Lily/ OC, Jamie/OC, Lucas/Peyton, Nathan/Haley, mentions Karen/ Keith and Karen/ Andy.

Rating: T.

Chapter One

Miley Cyrus once said "Life's a climb but the view is great." It is true when Lily Scott came to terms of losing those she loved so much. At 15 she was happy with her Mom and step father, who was more her father than anything. They lived in sunny Miami and peacefully. No one to hurt them or pull their family apart.

The happiness was torn away from Lily Scott on her 16th birthday. "Come on Mom! Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise." Karen laughed from the driver's seat of her car as she glanced at her youngest child. Everyday Karen saw more of Lily's father in her daughter. Lily had her father's dry sense of humour, she looked like him and she sometimes even talked like him.

"Please Mom! I've had a million surprises today!" She giggled as she watched the scenery pass by them. The window of the car was rolled down, causing her shoulder length hair to blow behind her. "Where are we going?" She turned to face her mother, who was laughing. "MOM, LOOK OUT!" She screamed as a truck got closer to their car, too close. Immediately Lily's hands went to cover her face as the truck made impact with their car and glass shattered around them as the car was pushed by the truck.

Blackness took her. She could not even see her mother as the darkness overcame her. "Mom...." She whispered as the darkness settled in around her.

"If you two are not ready in 5 minutes I am leaving you behind." Lucas Scott called up the stairs to his wife and daughter.

"Daddy." Sawyer giggled as she walked down the stairs off their rented home in Miami, while they were there. "I'm ready." Jumping the last two steps and twirled in front of him. "What you think?"

Lucas was about to compliment his daughter and her outfit when his cell phone rang in his jacket pocket. "Hold that thought." He winked at his daughter. "Go get your mother while I get this." He smiled at her as she bounded back up the stairs, calling out to her mother. "Hello?" Lucas spoke into the phone.

"Is this Lucas Scott?" The female voice on the other end asked.

"Yes it is." He frowned slightly.

"I am sorry to say this but your mother was killed in a car accident an hour ago."

"What?" His voice barely audible but it was loud enough for the other person to hear.

"I am sorry for your loss but your sister survived the accident and is in our hospital right now." The woman spoke gently to the shocked man.

"How is she?" He rubs his cheek, realising that he was crying.

"I think it best if you come to South Miami Hospital to talk. It will come as a shock to you."

"I'll be there as soon as I can." He said quickly. "Thank you. Bye." He put the phone away before he could even let the woman reply. Turning around he saw both his wife and daughter standing at the bottom of the stairs. "It was um... the hospital." He spoke slowly. "My mom and Lily were in a car accident."

"Are they all right?" Peyton stepped forward ready to comfort him.

"My Mom died." His tears flowing faster. "Lily is in hospital. I need to go and see her."

"Oh Luke." Peyton moved forward and hugged him tightly. "We'll come with you." She kissed his cheek softly. The three members of the family left the house and drove to the hospital.

"Mom...." Lily's hurt voice spoke as she fought against the darkness. "Mom...."

"Lily?" A familiar voice spoke to her from her right. "Lily? It's Lucas. It's your big brother."

"Luke?" She whispered as she slowly opened her eyes but the bright light hurt them and she immediately closed them again. "Where's Mom?" She asked once her eyes were open and focused on her only sibling. "Luke..." She said his name slowly when he did not reply. "Luke, where's Mom?" She asked more forcefully. "Where's Mom?"

"Lily..." He shook his head and avoided her gaze. "I'm sorry. She died Lil."

"No! No! NO!" She screamed at him. "NO! I WANT MOM!" Trying to sit up but found no strength to move at all. "I WANT MOM! SHE'S NOT DEAD!"

"Lily! Lily! Lily, stop it!" Lucas said angrily as he tried to wrap his arms around her. "Stop it! You'll hurt yourself! Please love!" He grabbed her wrists and stopped her from thrashing against him, but some of her strength was found in her arms and she tried her best to hit him. "Please. Lily, listen to me."

The young girl stopped, tears fell down her cheeks and onto the pillow beneath her as she locked her gaze on her older brother. "What?"

"Lily, Mom is dead. She died as soon as the truck hit the car." His tears were falling down his cheeks also. "I am your legal guardian, so you can come and live with me, Peyton and Sawyer. Ok?" Lily only nodded as Lucas let go of her wrists and sat on the edge of her hospital bed. "There is more. You were really injured in the crash."

"How injured?" She whispered as she kept her gaze locked on her brother.

"Your spine was damaged in the crash. The doctors said there is a very small chance that you may walk again." Lucas closed his eyes as more tears had formed and were falling constantly.

"I'm paralysed?" Lily asked in horror.

"Just your legs. They're going to operate on your spine to try and fix the damage but it is going to take a lot of determination from you to get you on your feet again."

Lily gave a small nod before she burst into tears and held out her arms to Lucas, who went straight into them and wrapped his own arms around his sobbing sister. "Why us? All the bad stuff happens to us."

"I know. I know." His hand stroking her dark hair. The pair held onto each other for quite some time until the visiting hours were over. "I'll be back tomorrow."

"Bring Peyton and Sawyer?" She asked in hope to see the few remaining members of her family.

"Of course. Happy Birthday Lil." He gave her a soft smile.

"Call Jamie for me."

"Already have." He gave a grin, which the happiness never reached his eyes. The loss of his mother had taken its toll. He left the room, closing the door behind him and collapsed to the floor as he sobbed into his hands.

"Come here." The soft voice of Peyton was heard as she wrapped her arms around him, helping him to his feet and steered him towards the seats. "It'll be okay. She has us."

He leaned against Peyton, his head resting against her shoulder. "I... I can't do it. She needs Mom. I need Mom." He sobbed into her shoulder.

"Where is the one place your Mom would want you to take Lily?" Peyton asked softly, even though she knew the answer.

"Tree Hill." Lucas nodded gently as he sat up straight and looked at her. "Time to go back?"

"Yes." She nodded as she reached to his face and wiped away his tears. "Is that where you want your Mom to be buried?"

Lucas nodded. "I think she'd want to be buried with Keith." Rubbing his own eyes when Peyton put her hands down into her lap. "We have to wait until Lily is well enough to travel."

"Of course." She nodded. "Who do you want me to call?"

"Haley, Nate, Brooke. The usual." He nodded as he turned in his seat to face the wall, his elbows rested on his knees as he buried his face in his hands. "Tell them what happened and also give Jamie our best too. It is his birthday too." He raised his head and sat back in his seat. "I'm going to stay here. I don't want to be too far away from Lily."

"All right." She leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Call if you need anything." Standing up and going in search of her daughter.

Lucas sat staring at the opposite wall, not even acknowledging those who walked by or spoke to him. Every memory he had of his mother ran through his mind. Every memory he had with his sister ran through his mind also. He may have just lost his mother but right now he had to think for his sister, who know had no living parent at all. He may have Dan as his biological father but to him Keith was always his father, the one who was always there for him. So both he and Lily were orphans. No parent at all alive.

A/N: Ok that was my first attempt at a One Tree Hill Fic. :S Hope it's all right. I will try and post the 2nd chapter as soon as I can.
