Jamie's POV

All it takes is that one single moment to question everything you've ever done in your life. It makes you question your decisions, your friends and even your lovers.

My names is James Lucas Scott and I wouldn't change any of those moments for anything but I can question my future. And my future is on the verge of life and death and it is the one decision I have no control over.

*6 Years Earlier*

"Hey Mom are you substituting today?" Jamie walked into the kitchen to see his mother, Haley James Scott, sitting at the counter talking with his younger sister Lydia.

"Yes I am Jimmy-Jam, Are you okay with that?"

"Yes why wouldn't I be?" I never understood why my mom thought I would be embarrassed of her when she subs. She's an amazing mother and she's my mother I wouldn't trade her or my family for anything. She seems to always think her coming to school will embarrass me with my friends but they all think she's cool so there's never a worry.

"I don't know I just like to ask?"

"Ask what?" I hear from behind me and turn around to see Nathan Scott, my father, walk into the room and go immediately to my mother and kiss her forehead. It amazes me that after all their struggles they still love each other like they did when they were 16.

"If Jamie is okay with me subbing at school today?" my father just gives her his confused look and then picks up Lydia taking her to go get ready for school. She giggles when he does and I hear her say 'I love you daddy' and give him a big hug.

I turn back to my mother to see her packing up everything she will need for today and instead of answering her earlier question I go up to her and give her a big hug.

"I L.O.V.E you mom never doubt that and never worry about me. My friends think your cool and they know not to mess with my mom." I pull away from the hug and see her almost on the brink of tears.

"Aw Mom why do you always cry when we say nice stuff to you?" She just laughs at me and then smiles.

"Because I'm happy that even in your teenage years you love me and don't give me grief like most teenagers. And I L.O.V.E you too smartass now let's get going so you're not late." With that my mom and I rush out the house to her SUV and begin our ride to school.

"So are you all packed up for our trip to Charlotte?" I smile remembering a week ago when my dad surprised us saying her got my mom, him and I tickets to see the Bobcats.

"Yes, did you find a babysitter yet?" We didn't want to bring Lydia with because my parents wanted to enjoy some time by themselves and with me. Lydia gets bored watching Basketball easily so very rarely do they like to bring her along.

"Not yet I'm still looking for someone I can trust and Brook and Peyton are so busy I don't want to ask them unless I have to."

"You know Aunt Brooke loves Lydia she would watch her in a heartbeat." My mom just laughs at that.

"That is true but Davis and Jude have been handfuls lately and causing Brook and Julian a lot of grief so I don't want to add more to her plate. Plus I would like to have a babysitter that we can have around more often so you don't have to keep watching Lydia."

"Mom I love Lydia and I don't mind watching her when you or dad go out, plus my friends love her especially Stryker. He doesn't like to admit it but Lydia has him wrapped around her little finger." My mom laughs at that and before she can respond we see a 69 dodge charger blasting loud music pull into the school lot.

"Wow that's a first. I know the teenagers here are trouble but no one drives a car like that or listens to that music around here."

"Must be someone new" was all I responded because I watch as the car pulled into the parking lot and out walks the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She definitely is not from Tree Hill.

"Wow she's pretty" I heard my mom comment and all I could respond with was a grunting noise. I feel my mom park the car and it breaks me out of my daze.

"Alright Jamie your dad will pick you up after school I'm only here till lunch then I'm leaving and going to the café."

"Alright mom I'll see ya later" I quickly close the door and then rush into the school hoping to find the girl from outside. I scan the hallway but can't seem to find her and then I quickly turn around to be met with a 'Hi Jamie"

"Jesus don't scare me"

Haley's POV

I can't believe my son is already a sophomore in high school. It feels like just yesterday it was me and Lucas walking through those doors and now I get to see my son do it. I'm just glad Jamie acts nothing like his dad, accept for playing basketball, because I Don't think I could take him acting how Nathan used to.

Pulling myself from my thoughts I notice that Jamie practically bolted from my car probably to look for that girl we saw. I don't think I have ever seen her before so she must be new here but, something about her does seem familiar.

Before I get to much in thought again I grab my bag with school stuff and head towards the front door.

"Hi I'm Haley James Scott and I here to sub today" I tell the secretary. Before she can hand me any information I hear someone call my name from behind me.

"HALEY!" I turn around and see my best friend Peyton coming down the hallway.

"Hey what are you doing here?" I ask pulling her into a hug.

"One of the art teachers asked me in today to talk with some students about art stuff"

"That's cool well I have to go I'm subbing today." I pull away from Peyton waving goodbye then the secretary tells me which class I'm teaching and what number.

I look at the note and head towards sophomore English but double take and realize it's an AP style class. 'Huh never taught higher English before this should be interesting.'
