Chapter 1
Surrender
"What makes you think we'll do this?" Nathan Scott asked frowning up at his father from where he sat on the couch in the apartment he shared with his wife Haley. "We're all too old for the Disney World vacation thing; we'll probably end up killing each other before we even get there." Lucas Scott retorted from where he leaned against the wall.
"Look I almost died. It made me realize time is a precious gift and I don't want to waste anymore of it. I want to spend sometime with you guys get to know you. And I want you guys to see the heart specialist I'm going to see and get those HCM tests. That's really the reason we are going to California." Dan said.
Both of his teenage sons exchanged looks. Nathan the youngest looked like he was in deep thought contemplating what he had just heard. Lucas however, just looked pissed off and was staring daggers into the floor. Not exactly the reaction Dan wanted but he didn't expect a group hug either. "I'm not taking that test." Lucas said suddenly causing three pairs of eyes to swing in his direction. The seriousness in his voice made Nathan jump.
Dan was expecting this kind of reaction from his first born, after all he did treat him rather badly for the past seventeen years how else could he react? Dan met Lucas' steely blue gaze with his on. "I've already talked to Karen you're going and this isn't up for debate." Dan said his voice was firm but with out malice as it had been in their previous conversations.
Lucas noticed this to and he blinked and changed tactics. "You talked to my mom and she agreed to let me go with you?" Lucas asked. "Yes, well actually she's letting you go with Keith. He's coming too and so is Deb." Dan revealed. "Mom is going?" Nathan asked. "She's agreed to give me a second chance." Dan said actually showing uncharacteristically genuine happiness.
The pretty girl with the light brown hair sitting next to Nathan hadn't said anything she just listened to her father and law. She actually believed him. Haley was usually an excellent judge of character. She could sense a change in Dan he even looked a little different less cocky and more gentle than before. Hearing him explain HCM had brought her to tears she couldn't imagine losing Nathan or Lucas.
"What about you Haley? You're part of this family too what do you say?" Dan asked. Haley didn't answer right away she looked at Nathan who noticed for the first time that she had been crying and he put a arm around her and pulled her close. Then she looked over at her best friend Lucas who was in his own little world pouting and brooding.
"This trip will give me a chance to get to know you too." Dan said. Haley looked up at him when she heard the sincerity in his voice. The three male Scotts in the room were looking at her as if she had the deciding vote. "I think it will be fun." She said pasting on a smile. She didn't even recognize her own voice she had never heard herself sound so indecisive and fake.
Dan beamed and clapped his hands together, "Then it's settled, it will give everyone a chance to work everything out." Dan said. "Something's you just can't work out with a lame ass family vacation." Lucas said stalking over to the door and opening it. The smile fell off Dan's face. "Like the fact that for the past seventeen years of my life you were never there for me." Lucas said before he turned and walked out into the night slamming the door behind him.
Haley winced as the door slammed. Nathan stood up. "He's right." Nathan said walking from the room.
Haley said good bye to Dan and hoped he really had changed. He told her she could invite Brooke and Peyton so she wouldn't get too bored while Nathan and Lucas are seeing the specialist and that he would foot the entire bill. Haley made her way into the bedroom she shared with Nathan. She found him lying on his back staring up at the ceiling.
"Are you mad at me?" She asked from the doorway. "No. I'm not mad at all. I'm a little weirded out by how my dad is acting, it's like he's a pod person or something. I don't know whether to believe him like you did or shut him out like Lucas did." Nathan said. "Look at it this way. We are going to get a free Honeymoon in sunny California before school starts, and you're going to see one of the top cardio specialists in the country." Haley said. "What kind of Honeymoon are we gonna have with my parents are going to be there." Nathan said pouting. "You don't know what a manipulator that man is he's probably playing us " Nathan said.
"Well you'll be there and I'll be there." Haley said kicking the flirtation into high gear. That got her horny husband's attention. She walked into the room and pulled her sleeveless white cotton dress over head. "If you agree to go on this trip we can do things we've never done." Haley said in her most seductive voice. She realized she really wanted to go to California and she really wanted Nathan to take that test. She couldn't believe she was using sex as a motivator.
When Haley woke up the next day. Nathan was already awake and looking at her. "Ok I'll go." He said.
All the pain in your heart, Open up your eyes Oh, you drive me crazy You know it doesn't matter what you do Open up your eyes Oh, you drive me crazy Oh, you drive me crazy If that's the way you want it
All the tears in your empty soul
And when you're spinnin' round and around
I'm the psycho goin' outta control
Don't you know you're only wasting time
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you have to do is just surrender, just surrender
Don't you know I'm so over you
Don't you know that it's your life
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you've gotta do is just surrender, just surrender
Oh, you just bring me down
Look out your window
My sunshine's all around
All you gotta do is just surrender, just surrender
Well there you go
