Better Than Revenge Chapter 1, an one tree hill fanfic

"I sent the tape in," Haley James said. Proud Southside serpent and student at Southside High.

"Haley that's great," Lucas said hugging his best friend. He was also a Serpent who went to Southside High.

"What if they don't like it?" Haley asked.

"They'll love it," Lucas said happily that his friend was finally going after her dreams.

FLASHBACK

"So I saw online that Smash Records is looking for new and upcoming artists. All you have to do is send in a video of you singing. Then if your good enough they make you come in and record a higher quality demo to give to the people who make the final decision," Haley said sitting on her bed absentmindedly messing with the small blue truck next to her.

"HALEY! You should totally go for it!" Lucas said excitedly.

"I don't think I'll make it," She said.

"You will, Haley. You're a very talented singer."

"Maybe," Haley said getting up.

FLASHBACK OVER

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Haley came running into the bar all the serpents hung out in. She ran past a bunch of her friends, family, and other Serpents. She ran behind the bar and took off her serpent jacket and tied it around her waist.

"Hey, Owen. Sorry, I'm late," She said grabbing a rag to wipe down the counters. She was underage so she shouldn't be bartending but if anyone ever wandered into the bar that could get her in trouble she hid. For the serpents, underage drinking was the least of there worries.

"It's cool, I'm gonna head out," Owen said.

"Okay, bye dude."

"Hey, Jake!" She called her friend over.

"Hey, Haley. How's J. Luke?" Jake asked.

"He's good. Very happy. But I wanted to tell you that Smash Records is looking for new singers. There signing 2 people. I can send you a link with all the info. Do it with me, please! I don't wanna do it alone!" She pouted.

"Maybe."

"PLEASSSEEE!"

"Fine," He said.

"GREAT!"

2 weeks later.

"LUKE!" Haley shouted when she saw Lucas standing in the doorway.

"Hey, Hales."

"Jake and I both got an email, but we are afraid to look," Jake and Haley both held out their phones to him.

"You want me to read them to you?" They nodded there heads eagerly.

"Haley isssssssssssssssssssssss" He drew out.

"FOR GOODNESS SAKES LUKE! TELL ME WHAT THE DANG THING SAYS!" Haley yelled.

"You made it to the next step!" Lucas said happily hugging his best friend. She started jumping on her bed.

"What about me?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, what about him?" Haley asked going to stand next to Jake again.

"Jake isssssssssssssssss..."

"LUCAS! JUST TELL ME WHAT THE FREAK IT SAYS!" Jake yelled.

"You also made it to the next step!" Haley hugged Jake and started jumping on the bed again.

"I gotta tell everyone!" Haley exclaimed running through her house to tell her parents and brothers. Lucas and Jake laughed at her excitement. No one had seen this much light in her eyes since the incident, besides when she was with a certain person.

They were walking through the halls of Southside High.

"So, we are recording today," Haley told her brother, Adam. He was 16 liker her.

"That's great, Haley. It's good you're moving on," He said side hugging the youngest of the triplets.

"Where's Alec?" Haley asked looking at the grungy halls.

"Somewhere around here," They Alec was the oldest triplet, then Adam, and the youngest being Haley. She had lot's more brothers too. Chris was the oldest, he's 33. Then Kane was 28, next was Mark who was 26. Then Taylor (her only sister) who was 23 and David was 19. Alex was 17 almost 18. Then the triplets Alec, Adam, and Haley all 16. Her 14-year-old brother Jackson (her favorite to pick on), August/Auggie was 7. Then the youngest were twins, Levi and Liam were 5. Her parents sure had a talent for making boys. She physically shivered in disgust at the thought of her parents doing "That". They were all born and raised Serpents.

"They said if Jake and I both make it they will see if we can do any duets."

"That's cool."

"Pot?" Some guy offered Haley.

"Nah," She shook her head. They were walking down the (some might say) sketchy halls. Haley didn't think it was intimidating. 1. She had the Serpents to back her up. 2. It was all she knew.

"HALEY!" Adam yelled pulling Haley out of the way when easily 50 cops came barging in with large guns in their hands. They started slamming people up against the walls and patting them down, arresting most of them. All the Southsiders knew the Northsiders didn't like them, vice versa, but they never thought they would go this far. Adam was pulling her down the hall running as fast as she could to the nearest exit. She finally made her way out the door and realized she forgot something. Jackson. Crap, She thought. She turned around and ran back inside dodging cops along the way. She had lost Adam a long time ago. She spotted Jackson standing down the hall. There was a police officer Going full charge towards him. She ran quickly towards her brother. She couldn't run for long but she was fast for the 30 seconds she could run without stopping. She ran straight past Jackson grabbing his arm and pulling him roughly towards the front entrance. Jackson stumbled before running with his older sister.

Once they were out the entrance she hopped on her bike not stopping to put on her helmet. Jackson hopped on the back. Along with all the other student's motorcycles, she went as fast as she could out the parking area. There were a ton of motorcycles on either side of her, she was in the middle with bikes in front and behind her. She heard sirens and knew they were being chased. She pulled off the road and into her house. She ran inside and locked the door and ran through the house yelling.

"COPS! HIDE!" The Southsiders had prepared for this. They knew it wouldn't be much longer until they sent the cops after them. She found her mom in the kitchen.

"We gotta hide! The cops stormed our school we barely got out. There storming the Southside!" Lydia ran up to the nursery to grab Liam and Levi before going into the basement. Haley ran up to a blue bedroom. She noticed something wasn't in the crib.

"Where the hell is my son?"

Tears were running down her face. She ran around the house looking for the 8-month-old baby boy.

"JAMIE!" She yelled even though Jamie couldn't speak. She ran out of the house and into the backyard. She saw him lying on a pillow still in his blue basketball blanket. She fell to her knees and held her hand over her mouth trying to muffle her sobs. She scooped up the happy looking baby. She ran to the basement where her family was hiding. Everyone except for Chris, Kane, and Mark. They had their own families.

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

2 days later Lucas, Adam, Alec, and Jake were in the bar.

"Have you guys heard anything back yet?" Alec asked Jake and Haley.

"Nope, they said it will take at least 5 days," Haley taking a sip of her soda.

"And then they will call us in to talk," Jake finished.

"How many people are you guys up against?" Adam asked.

"69," Haley said.

"That's what she said," Lucas mumbled. Haley wacked him on the arm.

"Ha Ha," She deadpanned.

"I can't believe we have to change schools," Haley said annoyed.

"I still can't believe that they started arresting us for no reason," Alec said.

"I know, right?" Haley asked as her phone started ringing.

"That was the daycare. Jamie has a fever I gotta go pick him up," Haley said putting on her leather jacket to leave.

"We'll pick you up for the party at 10, k?" Lucas asked.

"K," She left and went to the daycare.

"Hey, Melissa," Haley greeted the lady at the front desk.

"Hello, Haley. Here to pick up Jamie early?" She asked politely.

"Yep, I guess he has a fever," Haley said.

"Okay," She handed her the paper to sign Jamie out. Haley had only quickly driven home to get her families car.

"Have a nice day," Melissa said as the young mom walked into the main area of the daycare. A lady quickly handed Jamie to her. James was crying.

"Oh, what's the problem?" She asked in a baby voice bouncing the 8-month-old. The baby continued to cry.

"Oh? Someone's cranky from keeping mommy up all night? Join the club," She deadpanned the last part. She put the now happy baby in the stroller. She proceeded to put him in his car seat and put the stroller in the back. She sat in the front seat and began driving.

"You know mommy might be a singer?" She asked in a baby voice to the blonde baby. James just babbled back. She reached a red light and the car behind was going full speed. She panicked seeing the black Ferarri not slowing down. She leaned back and put her arm over Jamie's chest hoping to protect him from the impact. She closed her eyes bracing herself. The car came to a screeching halt. She opened one eye and noticed the car behind her was just an inch or two away from hers.

"WATCH WHERE THE HELL YOUR GOING, IDIOT!" She yelled out the window. She drove off again, now mad.

"Okay, mom. So your good to watch him cause if no-" Her mom cut her off.

"Baby, be a teenager!" Lydia exclaimed.

"But he wouldn't sleep last night if I wasn't holding-" She was cut off again.

"It's fine! Now go have fun!" Her mom pushed her out the door. She huffed and got on her motorcycle. Lucas and Jake were already waiting for her. Adam and Alec had come out a few minutes ago.

"Let's roll!" Lucas said. They drove off to the party.

They got off their bikes and walked up to the Northsider and Southsider filled party.

"Jesus, people are already passed out," Jake said. Jake had a daughter the same age as Jamie.

They went inside and found a few guys from the river court.

"Yeah, I really wanna get Bevin to be my girlfriend," Skillz just finished his rant about Bevin.

"That's why you gotta ask her out," Haley said.

"Yeah, but, Babydoll, what if she says no?" Skillz said.

"What's up with this whole 'Babydoll' Thing?" She asked amused. Bevin walked up to stand with them.

Nathan Scott. King of the Northside. He had everything. He was rich, had a popular girlfriend. He smirked at Rachel. He could cheat on her if he wanted and got away with it. He had popular friends and every girl would drop at his feet. He was kind of annoyed that Southsiders were in his beach house, but he could deal with it though. They were coming to his school/ his kingdom. Guys wanted to be him and girls wanted to date him. He had it all.

He was standing with his basketball friends drinking out of a red plastic cup. He saw his half-brother, whom he hated vice versa, talking to about 7 guys, a blonde girl, and a blonde girl with purple parts in her hair. He could do with some taunting. He walked up to the group that was all wearing Serpent jackets, his basketball buddies following closely behind. He grabbed the blonde girls ass. As soon as he barely touched her she had grabbed him by the wrist and turned his arm so he was now facing the other direction with his arm pulled from under him if she pulled much further he could have a dislocated shoulder.

"Don't.

Ever.

Touch me." She said in a low threatening voice.

He stumbled for a moment when she let him go and turned around to talk to her friends. His friends looked at him shocked. Nathan Scott never got turned down. He turned to them.

"I love a challenge," He said confidently and smirking when his friends started yelling and he high fived them. This girl is gonna be in my bed in no time, he thought.

llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

"Hi, mom... I know... I just wanted to check on him... Yeah, I know this is the 9th time in 2 hours... Okay, love you, bye." Haley had stepped outside to call her mom again. She had a red cup in her hand. She sat down on a chair outside. It was way too stuffy and loud in there for her. Her mind went back to earlier that night. That guy she didn't know touched her butt. She realized she only was around Serpents who knew what happened when she was almost 15. She got hit on by Serpents but after Logan, no one would dare touch her like that.

FLASHBACK

She stood surrounded by her friends and brothers. Logan was currently tied to a chair in the middle of the bar.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK, SERPENTS?" Her dad, Jimmy, Yelled as he was standing in the middle of the room with a pocket knife in hand. Serpents were surrounding the chair an Jimmy," SHOULD HE BE PUNISHED FOR HURTING A FELLOW SERPENT AND MY DAUGHTER?" The serpents yelled as a cue for yes. She had anger tears running down her face. Though she made no noise. She turned around and buried her head in Adams' shoulder. Logan would not get the satisfaction of seeing her like this. Adam nodded at Alec.

"FIRST, WE ARE GONNA PUNISH HIM FOR HURTING MY DAUGHTER! THEN WE ARE GONNA SKIN HIM FOR HURTING A SERPENT!" Jimmy yelled. Jimmy was first to walk up and punch him once in the jaw. Then Alec went and punched him. Followed by all her brothers and friends. Lastly, she walked up to him. She walked slowly over to the chair. She stared at him in the eye. He plastered that stupid smirk on his face. He had 2 black eyes and other bruises and cuts. She glared deeply. Anger burning in her eyes.

"What are you gonna do, little girl? Couldn't do much last time," Logan smirked at her.

"Can't do too much when your unconscious," She said bitterly before punching as hard as she could in his face.

"All ya got?" He said laughing wickedly. He spat out some blood. She kicked him in the face hard. After she just walked back to where she was standing before. Jimmy walked back up to Logan. Jimmy was The King of the Southside so this was his job. He looked back at Haley to silently ask permission. Anger was written all over her face.

"Skin him," She said standing tall with her arms folded over her chest. Jimmy took the knife and cut off the patch of skin where his Serpent tattoo was. After Jimmy put the injured man out to the borders of the town. Jimmy dropped him off out there and they never saw Logan again.

FLASHBACK OVER

"Hey," The man from before said to her.

"Hey," She said taking a sip of her drink. It was a soda.

"What are you doing out here?" The dark haired man said.

"Thinking."

"Why did you slap my hand away?" He asked.

"Why would I let you touch my ass?" She asked finally looking at him.

"Because I'm Nathan Scott," He said cockily. She started laughing. She realized who he was, finally.

"What's so funny?" He asked. This girl was knocking down his ego.

"Goodbye, Nathan Scott," She said getting up and walking past him. He watched her walk away.

"Stop looking at my ass," She said annoyed. She threw the cup in the yard, straddled her motorcycle, putting on her helmet, then driving away. He stood there bewildered. This was gonna be fun.

lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

When she got to her house she found her mom passed out on a chair with Jamie in her arms. She took Jamie and walked to her bedroom.

"No, grandma's not your mama, I'm your mama," She said in a baby voice. She got in her bed with Jamie in her arms and slept with her boy in her arms.
