A/N: Okay, people! It's just me! I decided to re-do this One Life to Live story, because there will be some things from the other one,and yes, it's still a James/OC. Why? Because I -heart- him! I've been watching it a lot recently, and I'm not going along with some of the story lines, I might throw a few in there, but I'm going to wing it anyway. We'll see what happens. And a little warning, I'm a bit of a potty mouth, so yeah, this story is full of cussing, but if you're not into that sort of thing, then don't read it, thank you. Holy rusted metal, Batman... James Ford is a freaking HOTTIE! I mean... WOW!
P.S. I own NOTHING from One Life to Live... just my OC's! Thanks! Although... can I own James? No? Alright fine then... yeah, I own NOTHING! LOL!
...Chapter 1...
Lilly McBain just got home after her doctor's appointment and saw a Chevy Tahoe parked in front of the house. "Who's at my house?" she thought to herself, getting out of her silver Dodge Avenger. She walked inside and saw her step-father Vince, her mother Katey, and her step-sister Chloe, in the livingroom with her uncle. "Uh, hey, Uncle John... what are you doing here?" he didn't say anything he just looked down. "What's wrong?"
"Hey, Honey." Katey gave her a weak smile. "How was your appointment?"
"Fine... everything's fine."
"Good, come in here, and sit down." Katey suggested, then Lilly sat next to Chloe, who was playing on her cell phone.
"Lil." John started. "There's a reason why I'm here and it's because... something happened."
"Okay, what?" she asked, not knowing where he was going with this or what it was about.
"Paul... got into some trouble with bad people and he was killed yesterday morning." Lilly's eyes started welling up and she opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.
"Your father." Katey took a deep breath. "Had a will drawn up and that means, you will get everything."
Lilly raised her eyebrow. "Everything?"
"Yes." Katey nodded.
"So, who killed my dad?" Lilly looked over at John. "Who did it?"
"Well." he started. "It's under investigation right now. We do have a couple of suspects, but nothing solid yet." she just nodded, looking down at her hands in her lap. "Lilly, I will do everything in my power to find out who did this to my brother." John said, with a warm smile. "I promise you."
"I know you will." she nodded again, then wiped her tears away.
"I have to get going... to get everything started for his funeral, I just wanted to tell you in person." Lilly looked up at John as he stood to his feet. "But I'll meet you in Llanview, Kiddo."
Lilly got up and gave him a hug. "Thanks, Uncle John."
"You're welcome." he started walking to the door. "See you soon." then he walked out of the house.
Katey took a deep breath. "Lilly, in your fathers will." she sat down next to Vince. "He specifically stated, that he wants to be buried in Llanview, Pennsylvania." Lilly nodded, trying not to cry. "And we'll be leaving tonight."
"I'll, uh." Lilly stood up. "Start packing." then she walked upstairs to her bedroom, and slammed the door.
"I should go talk to her."
"No, Kate." Vince shook his head. "You know she'll just shut down and her being emotional, won't help, just let her deal with this her own way."
"Okay." she nodded, then looked over at Chloe. "How 'bout you go pack too."
Chloe stood up and gave them a half-ass salute. "Aye, aye... Captians!" she rolled her eyes, then she went up to her room.
A couple hours later, Lilly was in her room, looking at old pictures of her father. She just couldn't believe it, because she just seen him a few months ago, before he moved to Llanview with her Uncle John. She just wishes that she talked to him more and now she can't. Suddenly, there was a knock on her door, and Lilly wiped the tears from her face. "Come in." it opened, then she looked up, and frowned. "I don't have time for this, Zack... what do you want?"
"Chloe told me about your dad and I'm sorry."
She gave him a funny look. "Yeah, thanks."
"Okay." Zack shut the door and went up to her. "I get that we're not together anymore, but I'm here for you."
"Riiiiiight." Lilly rolled her eyes. "And you'll just use my vulnerability to get me into bed, just like you did to my best friend, when her grandma died."
"I already told you that I was sorry for sleeping with Jenna."
"You know what?" Lilly got into his face. "It ain't happening and I don't want you here, so get the fuck out of my room, and out of my house... just leave."
"You think I'm trying to get you into bed? That's not why I'm here." he put his hand on her stomach.
"Don't touch me!" Lilly knocked his hand away. "It don't matter why you're here, I don't care... just LEAVE."
Zack stared at her for a couple of seconds. "Fine." he walked over to open the door. "But one day, you'll need me."
"I highly doubt it." she glared at him, then he just shook his head, and walked out of her room. "Punk ass bitch." she muttered and seconds later, her phone rang. She grabbed it off of her bed and pressed the talk button. "Hello?"
"Hey, Girl... are we gonna hang out tonight?"
"Oh, shit." Lilly smacked her head. "I forgot, I'm sorry, Ashley. I won't be able to."
"Why not?"
"Well, when I got back from my doctors appointment, my Uncle John was there, and he told us that my dad was killed."
"Oh, no, Lilly, I'm sorry... are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine, I'm just packing right now. We're leaving tonight to Pennsylvania."
"Okay, if you need anything, just let me know."
"I will, Ash... thanks, bye."
"Bye." Ashley told her, then Lilly hung up her phone, and finished packing.
Later that night, the whole family was sitting at the terminal, waiting to get on the plane, Katey got up, and sat down next to Lilly. "Should you be drinking that right now?"
"Mom." Lilly groaned. "Coffee isn't going to hurt, besides, how often do I get to have these?"
"I suppose you're right... how are you feeling?"
"I'll be fine, until I see Dad." Lilly paused. "What do you think he left me in his will?"
"I don't know, but you'll find out, when we talk to his lawyer."
"That's just... awesome." Lilly groaned, swishing her coffee cup around. "Can't wait."
"Flight number five-thirty-six to Philadelphia is now boarding. Please have your tickets and photo ID's ready, thank you." is what everyone heard over the intercom.
Lilly and Katey got up first and headed towards the door, then Vince got up, and looked down at Chloe, who was just sitting there, on her cell phone. "Come on... we have to get on the plane."
"I don't understand why I gotta go." Chloe whined. "He ain't my father."
"Chloe." Vince sighed. "You're going to support your sister."
"Step-sister." she corrected him. "I can't believe you're making me leave North Carolina and my friends... for this." she stood up. "You could have left me with Mom."
"Chloe." Vince warned. "Stop being a spoiled brat and get your ass on that plane."
"Whatever." she scoffed, walking away. "I'll call Mom and she'll pick me up."
...
Within forty minutes, all the passengers were on the plane, and it was up in the air. As Katey was reading her magazine, she glanced over at Lilly, who had her eyes closed, and she was taking deep breaths. "Honey, what's wrong?"
"Just trying to make it through this flight without getting sick."
Katey lightly squeezed Lilly's arm. "Everything will be fine."
"Yeah, Ma... I hope so."
