When Haley comes back (2nd season) she tells Nathan this she is pregnant. Nathan is so hurt that he cannot take Haley back. Instead, they get a divorce, and Haley has a baby boy named Thomas Jacob James-Scott. By the end of senior year, Haley and Lucas are dating, so are Brooke and Nathan, and they all hate each other. Nathan, Brooke, and all the popular kids vs. Lucas, Haley, and the river court gang. It was like sophomore year all over again. Both Haley and Lucas went to UNC Charlotte, while Brooke and Nathan went to UNC Chapel Hill. Thomas lived with Haley in college, he barley saw Nathan, and when he did, it was only hours at a time. Thomas grew up with Lucas as the only father figure around. In their junior year of college, Lucas and Haley got married. A 3 year old Thomas being the ring boy. When Tommy was 5, the year after they graduated college, Lucas and Haley moved back to Tree Hill. The year after, Brandon Michael Scott was born. Brandon was a very bright, talented, basketball star. Thomas was a very happy 6 year old big brother. Tommy's other family, Nathan and Brooke got married the year after they graduated college. They moved to charlotte and a year later, when they were both 24, their first child, Sarah Christine Scott, was born. Sarah was the exact replica of Brooke except the she had blue eyes. Two years later, when Thomas was 9, both Brooke and Haley had children. Nathan and Brooke had a boy named Jason Andrew Scott. He was exactly like Nathan except his ego was bigger than Nathan and Brooke's combined. Haley and Lucas, on the other hand, had a girl named Tiffany Elizabeth Scott. She was the strong silent type. A shy girl with a beautiful voice, now six years later, tiffany and Jason are six, Sarah is 8, Brandon is 9, and Thomas is 15. All the adults are 32.

Hi, my name is Thomas Jacob James-Scott-Scott. Yep, its Scott-Scott. I'll break it down for you. Thomas-my mom has a weird infatuation with the name, plus I think they gave her a little to may meds while giving birth. Jacob-my parents had a friend named Jake that died in a car accident about 3 months before I was born so I was named after him. James-well it's my mothers maiden name and the name most people call her Haley James-Scott so she kinda had to put the James in there. Scott- that's my father's last name. So naturally it was there. Un-naturally he wasn't there when I was born; he was half an hour late. Scott-well let's see, how can I explain the other Scott in my name? Well… my step dad, Lucas, is my dad's half brother. So actually Lucas is my uncle too. And that meant that my brother and sister are my half-cousins. Ok this is giving me a headache. Anyway, when my step dad and my mom got married in college, Lucas adopted m, and there it is, I have another Scott in my last name. Well, now that I've given you the low-down on my name, how 'bout I give my life story. I have 2 homes, 2 brothers, 2 sisters,2 sets of parents, and 2 different lives. My mom, and step dad, Luke, live in tree hill. That's were they grew up, and that's were my brother Brandon, my sister Tiff, and I are going to grow up. I live in Tree Hill most of the time, and I must tell you, I like it in Tree Hill a lot better than Charlotte. My step dad, or dad (that's what I call him when my real dad's not around, cause if he is I have to call him Uncle Luke, or Lucas.) teaches literature at my parents Alma Matter Tree Hill High. My mom runs my grandmas café. My grandma Karen died when I was 11. That was a hard year. My father, Nathan, is a sports agent in Charlotte. His dream was to play basketball in the NBA, but those dreams were crushed when he screwed up his knee his senior year of college. My step mom, Brooke (not mom or anything like that cause we're not that close, just related) owns her own fashion line, Clothes over Bros. she loves it, and she's always drawing new designs on random pieces of paper. I love my brother Jason and sister Sarah, even though I can only see them every other weekend. When my parents were going through a custody battle for me, the court awarded my parents partial custody, which means that I can only see my dad and his family in Charlotte every other weekend. It doesn't really bother me. I have been doing it for the past 11 years. I know my life's screwed up. I learned to accept it. I guess you might be wondering what I look like, well, I have dark brown hair like my dad. I have my mom's nose and eyes, but everything else comes from my dad. My complexion, my attitude (that never stops annoying my mother), my basketball skills. I do get stuff from my mom, like my ability to read people, and I'm sorry to say, but her trait to rabble on and on and on when I'm nervous. I hate it. I play basketball for the Tree Hill Ravens JV team. I also play the piano, and my mom's trying to teach my to play the guitar, much to mine, my fathers, and my step fathers, discontent. All four of my parents expect something expect something of me. My dad wants me to be the first Scott in the NBA, my mom want me to play music, "rely on something more than basketball," she says "look at what happened to your father, all he had was basketball, and his chance was gone in a second." Lucas is the least hard on me. He just wants me to succeed. He's the only one who really knows what I'm going through, his parents pushed him too. He's always there for me. And Brooke, good old Brooke, all she wants of me is to not wear bad clothes; she always says that no matter what happens in life, fashion is the only thing you can count on. Yep those are my parents. I know hey miss each other, I can tell, but they're too stubborn and mad to admit it. My dad and step dad fight a lot. Not like fist fights but verbal fights. Usually, my mom will be talking to my dad about me going over or pick up times or something like that and she will start yelling because she disagrees and then Lucas will take the phone and yell at his half brother because he yelled at his wife. That's about the only words they exchange. Brooke is the only sane one. She's just stuck in the situation because she married my dad, but I know she was stuff with my mom and step dad, she just doesn't express it. I feel bad for her, along with all 4 of my siblings. All the yelling and fighting has something to do with me. I know I shouldn't blame this on myself, that's what my therapist says, but it's the only good explanation. My best friend, Marcus, tells me that I shouldn't worry about adult problems. Marcus' dad Skills is my step dad's best friend. They have been best friends since they were like 5. Same with me and Marcus, well, I think you know as much about me as I'm willing to share. So I leave you with this. I love my life, no matter what line it crosses.

Ok so there it is the intro. If you didn't get it, the first part was the overview, kinda what happened up to the first part of the story. Then the part in italics is Thomas' point of view. Him explaining him and his life, this story is mostly about him. The last part is a time line because I didn't want to confuse you. It's what happened each year from high school up until the starting off point of this story. So anyway… I would love feed back. Ideas for the story, if you like the plot line or not, is it too confusing, do I need to make the time line clearer. Anything like that. Oh and Peyton will not be in the story, I might add her later but I don't really think that she's necessary. I would love reviews. I will update as soon as I get a chapter written and feedback from you guys. I really hope you like this story.
Please review
