Sometimes All You Need Is One

Chapter One: Hallelujah

I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played and it pleased the lord

But you don't really care for music do you?

-Kate Voegele

High in the clouds, above the small quiet town of Tree Hill, was a group of angels scattered around the small room, the angels all turned when they heard the sound of Jimmy James coming towards them. Seeing his tall, broad figure, they all took their assigned seats; Haley took the seat that was next to her father while her best friend, Brooke, was to the other side of her. This was Haley's first angel meeting, she had always dreamed about helping someone fall in love because Haley James was in love with being in love.

After Jimmy sat down at the head of the circle, the angels quieted their murmurs till there was silence, looking around at the group Haley noticed the range of angels, some looked wide eyed and she could only guess they were new like her, others looked bored like their knew exactly what was going to happen and the rest looked like they wanted to get back to work. Then she saw her father's face, and knew that he was not happy, she wanted ask him, but realised this was not the time or the place. In this room she was not his daughter, but someone else's angel, an employee of love.

Haley smiled at Brooke knowing she was thinking the same thing as her, Haley had known Brooke a long time, and Haley had come to depend on Brooke. Unlike Haley, Brooke had once been a mortal. However, during a party in her junior year of high school, Brooke had got into a car with her then boyfriend, who had been drinking and was killed instantly in a car accident. Haley and Brooke's friendship has grown over the years; Haley loved hearing Brooke stories of what it was like on earth. Jimmy had always kept Haley away from knowing anything about the mortal world. The look his daughter would give him after coming back from earth always scared him, the fact that he could lose her to some mortal life. Jimmy knew what it was like on earth; he saw the light in his daughter's eye and knew that if she went on earth s he would somehow lose her innocence. However, today was the day Haley finally became a true angel, she had just turned 22 last week and after completing all the other tasks her father set her, she was finally able to go on to earth.

"So, Haley is finally allowed to come to one of the meetings, thought this day would never come," said Rachel a fellow angel. She was Brooke nemesis which meant that she hated Haley as well.

"Yeah well her dad had to let her out sometime, just because you know who broke the rules doesn't mean Haley will," a girl called Bevin said, Haley heard this and smiled.

"Yeah well if you ask me, you know who is better off, mortal men are way better lovers then angels," Rachel said taking another swipe at the scandal.

"Yeah well, no one asked you did they" Brooke said cutting in to the conversation between Rachel and Bevin, who were sitting next to her, "and shut up because Jimmy's about to talk."

"Angels, today we will start off with the easiest item on the agenda," he said looking around at his fellow angels. Taking a deep breath he spoke again, "Each new angel will be given a target of one mortal to fall in love, we usually start off the new angels on teenager mortals as they are the easiest mortals to help fall in love, there will be no time limit as to when the mortal falls in love, but having said that, the quicker you help the mortal fall in love, the sooner you are put on harder more rewarding mortals. You will be assigned the mortal at the end of the meeting, there you can discuss any problems you have with your target mortal," he stopped and took a breath; he did have a tendency to ramble on.

Looking to his left at his daughter he got the feeling of doubt in his mind however seeing her smile at him he knew there was no way in which he could stop her from going down to earth, luckily for him he was Head Angel of Love and had the final say over which angel was put with which mortal.

"Having said that, does everyone understand," he looked around at the young inexperienced angels nodding their heads. "Good, let's begin. Is anyone having any problems with their mortals?" His eyes looked at each individual angel to see any visible sign of distress a mortal could be causing. Seeing none, he carried onto the next problem on the agenda, he looked down and flinched seeing the bold name there, knowing he had to deal with this problem once and for all.

Haley saw her father flinch, looking at Brooke silently asking her what was wrong, knowing Brooke had been to these meetings before. She guessed that Brooke would know everything as she was known around the heavens as being the gossip queen. Seeing Brooke look confused herself, Haley realized this was serious.

"Nathan Scott," hearing the collective gasp of air from the older more experienced angels including Brooke, Haley knew that name meant trouble. Haley tried to concentrate on her father while fighting back the feeling she got in her stomach when she heard that name.

"For all you new angels, Nathan Scott is a successful business man who made his fortune from selling cars, however, he recently decided to buy a publishing company, Nathan has caused lots of trouble for us over the years, with his lack of commitment to any one woman. Many angels have taken on the task of helping him, but have failed therefore today I have decided to put it to a vote on whether we choose to carry on trying to help Nathan or we cut him off and stop wasting resources on him. So all in favour of cutting him off raise your hand," Jimmy gazed at the angels raising their hands and counted them.

He turned to face his daughter expecting her to follow the rest of the angels, but instead he saw the hurt look in her eyes and both of her hands by her side. Knowing the reason for her hurt look, Jimmy turned away from her and went with the majority votes in favour of cutting Nathan Scott off.

Later that night, when the air had cooled, Jimmy James stood looking at his daughter. After he decided to cut Nathan Scott off and called a recess on the meeting, Haley had disappeared.

"You have no right cutting that man off," Haley said not looking around at her father. She had felt his presence a bit ago, but didn't know what to say to him until now.

"Haley, you have no idea of the heartbreak that man has caused, the hours my angels have spent on him, you've only just started and you think know everything already," Jimmy said angrily at the fact that his daughter didn't trust him.

"I know that if you hadn't made up all those stupid tasks, I would have been an angel a long time ago," she said turning around for the first time to look at him.

"I had to, you don't realize what the world is like, I was trying to protect you," he said.

"No dad, you were trying to protect yourself, you think that I will go on earth and leave you, just like she did," Haley said.

"Haley, I'm not having this conversation with you," Jimmy said trying to walk away.

"Let me be in charge of Nathan," she said to him, seeing him turn around she knew she hit a nerve.

"You want me to let you be in charge of Nathan Scott, a man who many of my more experience angels can't even help?" he said looking at her like she was crazy.

"Yes, because if I can't help him then I'll come back up and I'll never leave the heavens again," Haley said staring into his eyes, trying to get him to realize that she was serious.

Jimmy stood there for a good five minutes trying to find the words to speak to his daughter. "Haley, this man is beyond help, I've tried, everyone has tried," Jimmy said.

"Dad, this man deserves to fall in love. Please let me help him, give me a chance before you cut him off and if I can't, you can cut him off. I'll do whatever you want, just please," Haley said clinging onto him.

"Ok, fine, but under three conditions. You only have six months to help him,

Brooke goes along with you," Jimmy said but being cut off by Haley.

"Ok, whatever," Haley said, "What's the third condition?" she said after realizing she cut him off.

"You won't fall in love," he said.

"I won't," Haley said not realizing that in six months her heart may have decided differently.
