Chapter 1

Time to go home

"Kayla Brooklyn Scott" Haley yelled. A little girl with Brown hair and blue-brown eyes trotted into her mother's room. "Yes mama" Kay asked. "Kayla where is my brush?" Haley asked with her hands on her hips. The little four year walked over to the toy bin and said "Here mama". Haley grabs the brush and sees a whole bunch of doll hair in it. "Kayla how many times did I tell you not to brush your doll's hair with my brush" Haley said. "I don't know I can't count pass 13" Kay said. Haley chuckles lightly and then whispers "Nathan".

Yeah Kayla Brooklyn Scott was the daughter of Nathan Scott and Haley James-Scott. She knew she couldn't see her dad she took things very well. Kayla bites her lip and said "Mama I'm sowie". Kayla got up and hugged her mom's leg and said "For evweything" Kay said tearing up. Haley started to tear up and asked "You're packed?" "Yeah is David coming wit us" Kay said. "No Kay he is staying . . . hopefully" Haley said whispering the last part. "Is Mikey coming?" Kay asked. "I don't know" Haley said tearfully. "Don't cwy" Kay said.

Haley hug her daughter and smoothes her hair and said "I love you I hope you know that". "I wuv you too" Kay said giving her mom a kiss on the cheek. Haley sniffles the tears back and then puts her down. "Go make sure you have everything" Haley said. Kayla runs out the room. Haley slowly walks to her dresser and closes her eyes. Haley takes a deep breath and slowly opens her eyes. Her face was all bruised and her lip was busted.

Haley opened her last drawer and pulls out a box. In the box were some unsent letters, some pictures of Nathan, the gang, Whitey and Kayla. Then Haley turned to the next picture which made Haley choke up. Her son Michael Nathaniel Scott was Kayla's twin brother. Then a sent letter she received a month ago. She pulled the invitations out again and turned to Whitey's handwriting

Dear Miss Haley James,

I miss my Kay-Bear and strong Mic. Please respond.

Whitey aka Grandpa

Haley looks at the calendar the party was coming up. Haley picks up the phone and slowly dials Whitey's number. The phone rings. "Hello" A young voice said. Haley's voice gets caught up in her throat. This wasn't happening. Her finger trembling over the end button. "Boy give me my phone" She heard Whitey's voice. Whitey took the phone. "Hello" Whitey spoke. "Wh . . . Whitey" Haley cries. "Oh my god H . . . Honey" Whitey said pushing Nathan out the room.

"Whitey Help me please" Haley cried. "Haley honey what happened?" Whitey said. "Oh he took my baby boy Whitey, he took him right from under me" Haley cries. "Damn how fast can you leave New York City" Whitey said clenching his fist. "Now" Haley said. "Come sweetie come back home" Whitey soothes. Haley gets up and said "Okay". "Call me" Whitey said. Haley hangs up and calls Kayla. "Kay honey let's go" Haley said. Kayla held her duffle bag and basketball. "Where we gwoing mama" Kay asked. "Home baby, home" Haley said.
