1. Chapter 1

So I don't have a title for this yet and I started writing it because I couldn't sleep. I know this fic will be between K and K+ so here is the start of it. Please read and review. I don't own any of the characters from OTH just the ones I make up as this story progresses.
Much Love

Haley James Scott sat waiting to hear how her latest CD did on the charts. Her first 2 CDs had done amazingly well and her third had won her a Grammy.

Nathan Scott sat and watched his wife twirl her hair around her index finger. He couldn't understand why she was so nervous because her first 3 CDs had done really well on the charts debuting at number 1.

"That's it Nathan I can't stand all this waiting. What if it doesn't sell and ends up in the bargain bin. I can see it now Haley James' latest CD is a flop, who knows if she will ever be on top again." Haley said as she began to pace back and forth.

Hales come on sit down you are starting to make me nervous. I know this CD will do as well or even better than your first 3. You are one the most talented artists out there today." Nathan said trying to calm his talented, but oh so nervous wife down.

While Haley was pacing the floor the phone rang. She rushed to the phone like it was going to explode if she didn't answer it. "John give me the numbers." Haley said hoping it was her producer.

Haley calm down it's me Brooke." Brooke said. "Oh hi Brooke." Haley said although she didn't sound too enthused. "Haley James Scott that is no way to treat your sister in law slash your best friend." Brooke told her. "Sorry Brooke I am just so nervous I am waiting for the numbers on my latest CD." Haley said getting herself worked up again. As she was speaking she began to bite her finger nails. "Haley James Scott stop biting your nails right this second." Brooke demanded.

Hales, you know this CD will be a hit because you are one of the most... before Brooke could finish Haley said "Blah one of the most talented artists out today, sorry I just heard it from Nathan. Peyton has been talking about your latest album non stop on the radio and in her column. Brooke told Haley trying to get her to stay positive.

"I know but what if this one ends up being this huge flop and my fans right me off and move onto the next big thing." Haley told Brooke as she decided to sit on the stairs and just think about what she would do if her album tanked.
