I have been a fan of GH for nearly thirteen years (I started young :) and came up with the idea for the story a few years ago. I have a binder full of ideas and finally decided to make the story a reality. So this story is going to start in the past and work its way up to the present.
With that said, storylines in this story will be referenced beginning from about 2004. This is going to be written as if it's a book being written about my OC's life.
Some early chapters may not be that dialogue heavy.
Storylines and history have been changed to fit my OC. Any recognizable storyline is property of GH writers I just had fun changing it up.
Hope you all enjoy.
Life.
Life can be crazy.
Especially living in Port Charles. It's full of love, drama, murder, sex, betrayal. It's a small town. Everybody knows everybody and it's anything but dull.
There's been fires, hostage situations, monkeys causing pandemics, lock downs, train crashes, hurricanes, earthquakes, you name it Dr. Hailey Spencer has seen it.
And she wouldn't have it any other way.
For such a drama filled town Hailey Spencer had what most consider a normal life growing up. She lived in a house with both her parents and two younger siblings, a brother and sister. To the outside looking in they appeared to be your typical American family living the classic suburban life but the reality is everything is not always what it seems. Growing up with Bobbie Spencer and Tony Jones as parents proved to be anything but ordinary, not to mention the fact that her godparents were spies.
Her parents divorced, her sister in a bus accident, found out she had another sister, survived a kidnapping, an environmental disaster and an earthquake and that was all before she turned eighteen. Have I mentioned that the sister came to town looking to gain revenge against their mother for giving her up for adoption and seduced their mothers husband (who just happens to be Hailey's father) total water under the bridge now but let that give you a glimpse into the life this young woman has had.
Despite being a pretty and popular girl throughout school Hailey didn't date much when she was younger; she chalks that up to being too wrapped up in academics as she wanted to become a doctor like her father. She did date the older and more popular Jason Quartermaine for a while but that didn't work out and the two remained strictly friends…well except for the time…never mind we'll get to that later.
Years went by and Hailey graduated college and went straight to medical school where she achieved her dream of becoming a doctor; a trauma surgeon and got a job at General Hospital. There she would meet another doctor, Steve Webber and that meeting would set the two on a collision course of love, hate, drama, betrayal and that one thing that changes the lives of two people for the rest of their lives.
Their relationship started out slow; first coworkers, then friends who head out for drinks after work and then one of those times Hailey had worked up the courage to kiss him. They soon began to date and then lived happily ever after…not even close. The path to happily ever after never come easy, it's full of roadblocks. The first roadblock in the relationship of Steve and Hailey went by one name Alcazar.
Lorenzo Alcazar.
She'd run into him time to time, seldom exchanged pleasantries. She knew about his past involvement with her sister Carly; his aiding in her kidnapping and their subsequent marriage and had often been told to stay away. Until one fateful night that Hailey who had been going for a late night run had witnessed a crime. Lorenzo Alcazar involved in one of his many illegal mob activities and he is arrested. Once it was discovered that Hailey had witnessed the crime and is called to testify in his quickly approaching trial. Except a man like Lorenzo Alcazar wasn't about to go down without a fight.
"Get the hell out of my apartment before I call the police," yelled Hailey.
After coming home one night from a shift at the hospital she saw Lorenzo casually sitting on her couch.
"Now that's no way to speak to your husband."
"What?" an extremely confused Hailey said, "seriously get the hell out of here!"
"Such a temper," he laughed getting off the couch and slowly walked toward Hailey. "You need to learn how to control that temper if this marriage is going to work." As he moved closer she backed away and soon her back hit the wall, though frightened of what this man could do to her she wouldn't let him see it. "You are insane. I'm calling the police." She grabbed her phone out of her scrubs pocket but it as quickly tossed to the floor by Alcazar.
"Secrets can't be kept in this town. I happen to know a secret that involves you. I know what you saw and I know being the good girl you are you'd be quick to talk and I can't have that happen."
Hailey still confused spoke up with confidence, "What do you want from me?"
"Your hand in marriage," he began "I can't have you testifying against me."
An incredulous Hailey said, "You truly are crazy. There is no way I'm marrying you."
"You don't have a choice Spencer."
"Like hell I don't."
Alcazar began to get angry, "This isn't up for debate. This will be beneficial for the both of us."
A harsh laugh escaped her, "What if I refuse?"
"Simple, if you don't cooperate your dear boyfriend Dr. Webber will be in need of medical attention."
The façade of strength Hailey was trying to put up fell when Steve's name was mentioned. "Are you threatening him?"
"It's not a threat. One phone call is all I need," he took his cell phone out of his suit pocket and began to make a call.
Hailey didn't want to do it, she couldn't but she had to. She knew what Lorenzo Alcazar was capable of. "Wait," she swallowed the lump in her throat, "I'll do it. Just leave Steve out of it."
"Good choice."
And so Lorenzo Alcazar and Hailey Spencer wed in a courthouse much to the shock of her friends, family and her boyfriend who had been devastated by the news. In order to protect him she chose to not tell Steve the truth and though she knew how much it hurt him, it was better than him being dead. Her sister had turned her back on her and Hailey had felt alone and trapped in her life for the first time.
Without Hailey's testimony and circumstantial evidence the chargers against Alcazar had been dropped. She thought this sham would finally end but things had only just begun.
