Soulmates
Hailey's POV
"Im sorry Miss. Scott, but Clair's heart condition has become critical, and if we don't do anything and soon, i'm afraid she wont make it." I looked up at him a shocked,
"What" I asked, the tears welling up in my eyes,
"you mean Clair will ... die" I chocked out.
"I'm really really sorry," Dr. Hudson replied.
"ummm ... Clairs Father, do you know where he is?" the doctor asked carefully, I looked up at him shocked,
"Uh ... No i don't" i replied,,
"Well, i'm going to need his and your signature before we can operate .. I'm sorry Miss. Scott" I slowly walked out of the Doctors office and into the Pedeatrics ward. I smiled a little as I watched my angel sleeping, she looked so peacefull, she was so much like her father, adored basketball, and was determined to get into the girls basketball team in junior high. I sat by her side and watched her sleep, thinking of Nathan and how I would find him in such short notice. Then I realised by looking for him, I'm going to have to face, everything i've been running from for the last 10 years.
"Mommy" Clair whispered,
"Hey Sweetie" I replied wiping the tears from my eyes quickly,
"Why ... why are you sad" she chocked out, I smiled down at her,
"The doctor says they have to operate on you" I told her while brushing the hair from her face,
"Hey Clair" Taylor grinned as she walked in with a big soft teddy bear,
"Aunt Tay" Clair squealed as she gave Taylor a big bug,
"Hey Tay" I greeted my sister with a hug,
"Thanks aunt Tay" Clair said with a grin as she hugged the teddy,
"You lie here and watch cartoons, I'm just going to talk to mommy okay" Taylor said, as she grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room and into the corridor, I just looked at Taylor and burst into tears, the thought of losing Clair was unbearable.
Taylor stood there hugging me, as I clung to her,
"I can't lose her Tay" I sobbed, She smiled sadly at me as we sat in one of the chairs,
"What did the doctor say" She asked softly,
"He said ... Clair needs to undergo surgery, other wise she wont make it" I choked out, Taylor starred at me in concern as the tears fell from her eyes too,
"There's more" I whispered Taylor looked at me and waited for me to continue. I took a deep breath
"I need Nathan's permission before they'll operate," I told her, she looked at me in amazement,
"Are you serious?" she asked, I nodded my head as the tears started to fall again,
"Oh Hales" Taylor said as she pulled me in for another hug, We sat there hugging as I cried,
"Can you watch Clair for me, I've booked a flight tomorrow for Tree hill, the sooner I find Nate the better" I told Taylor as I wipped my eyes and we got up,
"you need to be here with Clair, why don't you let me go to Tree Hill and fetch him, I won't come back without him" she said, I smiled at her as we entered the hospital room.
"Thanks Tay, you're the best" I said giving her hug and we entered Clairs room.
Nathan's POV
"Hey Nate" I heard someone shout, I got up and answered the door,
"Luke Man ... how are you" I asked my brother with a smile,
"good, so I heard you were back, but didnt believe it" he said, I just laughed at him,
"yeah, New York is nice but its not Tree HIll, Ya know" I told him as he walked into mine and Haleys old flat,
"yeah, I get it" Luke said, as I handed him a beer. We sat in the lounge and he filled me in on everything that had happened in Tree Hill over the last few months,
"So hows Karen" I asked Luke,
"She's good, Andy is back and helping her raise Kelly" Luke said with a smile,
"So ... how about I get hold of the guys and we hit the River Court, like old days" Luke said after he finished his beer and through the basketball at me, I grinned at him, it had been a while since I played at the River Court, this was gonna be fun. I thought to myself.
"Okay ... Mouth is on his way," Luke informed me, I smiled Mouth had been such a good friend to me, it was going to be good to hang out here with the guys for a while I thought.
"you hear about Mouth and Racheal?" Luke asked, I looked at him confused,
"no." I said shaking my head,
"he finally popped the question, and as we all expected she said yes" Luke told me, I grinned at him,
"Can you believe it, Mouth getting married" I said shaking my head, it was really good to be home,
"Yo dawg" Skills shouted from the court when Luke and I got there, I smiled and walked up to him, doing our "special" handshake,
"Mouth, Junk, Fergi" I said, walking up to all the guys and hugging them,
"Congrades Mouth, I hear you're off the market, gonna break all those youngs girls hearts" I said joking, Mouth just laughed,
"Thanks Nate" he said,
"So dawg you set a date yet" Skills asked Mouth, but he just shook his head,
"no, Rach is helping Brooke with the new line, so when thats settled down in a few weeks, we'll talk about it" he said, Luke grabbed the ball out of my hand and shot the basket,
"Hey, I thought we were all going to play" a voice shouted from down the park, I turned around and saw Jake walking towards us,
"JAKE ... Bro" I said walking up to him, we shook hands and then decided to play some ball.
After a tense game of Basketball we sat down and spoke,
"So what ya doing tonight" Mouth asked me, as he handed each of us beer, I took it gladly and lay down on the court,
"proberly just going to watch TV" I said, Skills smiled,
"Dawg ... why don't you just come to TRIC" he said, I thought about for a while,
"yeah, besides if the ladies find out your home and don't come they going to be upsett" Mouth pointed out,
"and believe me, Payton is pregnant and you don't want to make her angry" Jake joked, as everyone just started laughing, We left the court at 6pm and I promised to meet them in two hours outside TRIC.
Luscas's POV
"Hey Baby girl" I called walking into my house after the game with the guys,
"Hey husband" Brooke said with a smile,
"Hey Luke" Racheal greeted from the lounge,
"Rach ... whats up?" I asked giving her a hug,
"Eww you're all sweaty" Rach joked as she playfully punched me, I laughed and said goodbye as she left,
"Bye B" Rach called as walked out of the house,
"Bye Rach, thanks for the help, See ya in a few hours" Brooke called back, as Racheal waved and walked home,
"So ... Where have you been" Brooke asked putting her arms around my shoulder and kissing me,
"Nate's back ... for good this time," I informed her as I kissed her and walked into the kitchen to get something to eat,
"What ... really" she asked shocked as she followed me, I smiled at her and nodded,
"yeah, he's going to meet us at TRIC" I told her with a smile, we headed up stairs and got ready
AT TRIC
"Hey dawg" skills said walking up to Luke outside TRIC,
"hey skills" he called back,
"Hey Bevin ... the girls are inside" Luke told her,
"Okay thanks Luke, bye Baby" she said kissing Skills as she headed inside TRIC
"Hey guys," Nathan greeted the guys and they all headed up the stairs and into the VIP part of TRIC,
"NATHAN" Deb shouted as she ran up to her son and gave him a hug,
Nathan's POV
"NATHAN" I heard someone shout, I turned around and saw my mom running up to me, I smiled at her as she gave me a hug,
"Hey mom" I greeted with a smile,
"When did you get here" she asked I grinned at her,
"Last night ... " I said with a smile, she grinned back at me,
"Well ... I'd love to talk but I got to get back to work its packed here" she said, I nodded in understanding as she walked back to the bar but promisied to catch up with the gossip later.
"BASKETBALL STAR" Brooke and Payton called, I grinned at them as they walked up to me,
"so how are you brother-in-law" Brooke joked as I gave her a hug,
"I'm good Brooke and you ... I hear you and Racheal have a new clothing line going" I asked and she nodded with a grin,
"yeah, but is not exactly clothes" she said with a grin,
"More like sexy underwear" she replied but then turned seriouse,
" its a dedication to you and Hales" Brooke said softly I stared at her in complete shock,
"What ... whats is it called" I asked,
"Always and forever" she answered softly, I smiled at her and thought it would of been some thing really cool to buy for Hales.
"Baby girl ... wanna dance" Luke asked grabbing Brooke and dragging her on to the dance floor, just then I looked around and felt like the only guy without someone to dance with, Even Tim had a girlfriend.
"Hey Stranger" I heard someone say from the bar, I turned and saw Karen standing there, I grinned and hugged her,
"hey" I said back smiling,
"wow ... its grown" I told her looking around at all the people in the club,
"What ya doing back" She asked me, I smiled and explained that I was done with playing ball in New York, I wanted to settle down, in Tree Hill,
"Where's Andy" I asked looking around for him,
"Oh he's with Kelly, she's not feeling to well today" she said with a smile, I grinned at her, things had changed so much over the years it was kind of hard to believe this was the place I had grown up in.
Hailey's POV
"Are you sure its okay" I asked Taylor from the Airport, she smiled at me and nodded,
"yeah, Clair needs you ... don't worry Hales, we going to get Nathan, he'll fill in the paper and Clair will have to operation, and be fine" Taylor assured me, I smiled and nodded, but wondered how she could be so sure that everything would work out in the end, what if I lost both of them forever, I thought sadly to myself,
"Phone me when you spoke to him" I called as Taylor walked on the plane, she turned and smiled as she waved goodbye.
Taylor's POV
The flight to Tree Hill didnt take long, and when I got there it was night, I was going to book into a hotel and tell Nathan in the morning, but this was important, I needed to find him now, I went back to the flat that him and Hailey used to live, the lights were on, but on-one was there, I remembered Hales telling me about a new club that opened, called TRIC. I figured if Nathan wasn't there, at least there should be someone to help me, I slowly walked into the club, the music was blasting and there at the bar was Nathan talking to another lady,
Nathan's POV
I sat speaking to Karen for a while, I saw Karin grinning, and tried to see who she was looking at,
"What" I asked her
"You got a secret admirrer" she said I turned around again to see if I could see who she was talking about, and thats when I saw her ... in the flesh, Taylor James. My ex-sister in law, She starred at me but something told me it wasnt' good news.
