Guess Who: Chapter 1
Summary: Haley James, was the head cheerleader at her school in Honey Grove, TX. In her Junior year, she married Nathan Scott, head of the basketball team, and by the time, the end of their Junior year rolled around, Nathan had already slept with her sister, Taylor, and left her. Heartbroken, she went to her mother for help, and her mother told her she would help. But instead, Lydia James, pushed her daughter so hard, that Haley just left. She looked through her twin sister's letters, Brooke James, and went to where she was. But suprises arise when she discovers Nathan is there too!
Haley walked easily into her new school. She inside the office and was told to wait. She decided to look around a bit, then she saw a big 'ole trophy for basketball. As soon as she heard the word basketball in her head, she thought of Nathan. Haley shook her head and willed the tears not to come out.
"Mrs. Scott, you may go in now."
Haley nodded her head.
"Thank you."
She walked in and the principal motioned for her to come closer. She sat down and he looked up from his papers.
"Good Morning Ms. Scott."
"Good Morning, Principal Turner, and you can call me Haley."
"Okay, Haley, I have your paperwork here, and all it needs is your signature."
He handed her a pen and she signed, 'Haley Scott.' He smiled towards her.
"Welcome to Tree Hill High Scott, Ms. Haley Scott."
"Thank-you, and do you know when cheerleading tryouts are?"
"There are today actually, in about an hour."
"Thank-you."
Haley smiled sweetly at the principal and got up and went ourside to her car. She grabbed her cheer shorts and went to sign up for cheerleading.
--An hour later--
The cheer captain looked mortified at the previous candidate. She shouted quickly.
"Thank-you. Okay next up, Haley Scott?"
Haley stood up and walked to the middle of the gym.
"That's me."
The captian screamed and jumped out of her chair and ran to Haley, then hugged her.
"Haley James! What are you doing here?"
"Brooke James! I go here now!"
"Get out!"
"Nope and I'd like to tryout, please?"
"Of course."
Brooke returned to ehr seat and haley tried out. And every cheerleader was completely suprised. They had their mouths dropped to the floor. Haley smiled,
"Did I make it?"
Every cheerleader began nodding their heads eagerly, then one girl stood up.
"That was awesome!"
Haley smiled to her.
"Thanks, and um...when does practice start?"
"Today!"
Haley smiled to her sister,
"Thanks!"
Brooke got Haley an outfit, and they walked back into the gym, and the basketball players were there, so was Coach Brian "Whitey" Durham. Haley walked up to the old man, and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and screamed. Haley smiled a big smile, and every person in the gym looked to them, and one guy on the basketball team looked at the new girl with intrest, and one looked at her with fear, and heartache.
"Well, I'll be damned! Little Haley James, in my gym!"
"Actually it's Haley Scott, and I'm not little!"
"Please girl you're like a twig, I'm afraid, I'll break you!"
Brooke nodded her head.
"Yeah, I agree Hales, if you get any skinner, you'll weigh less than my neighbor's dog, how come you are so skinny?"
Haley looked down, "I'd rather not talk about it."
Brooke looked concerningly at her sister, and nodded her head.
"Okay, but you have to stay with me and daddy!"
"Brooke, I don't--."
"Please Haley?"
"Okay."
"Yes!"
Whitey stepped in between the two and grabbed Haley.
"Hales, I would like you to meet the team. This is Damien West."
"Hey, so I just think you should know, you're really hot."
"Thanks, Damien, I think."
"Well, what I'm trying to say is I get all the hot ones."
Haley laughed, and shook her head.
"Not this one."
The other guys snickered. Whitey smacked West's head.
"Stay away from my grand-daughter. Okay, this is Lucas Scott."
Haley looked curiously at him,
"Scott? Nevermind, Hey."
He shook her hand.
"Hey. Brooke's told me a lot about you."
"Oh, your Brookes boyfriend, that explains it."
"Explains what?"
"Why she's been giving you that look all throughout practice."
He smiled knowingly and Whitey moved on
"And this is Nathan Scott."
Haley's world stopped as she looked up at him. He stuck his hand out and said,
"Hales, how ya been?"
Whitey looked between the two, then at Haley.
"Haley? Do you know each other?"
Haley shook her head and closed her eyes and looked back up and he was still there, then she pinched herself. She screamed in anger.
"Damn it! It's real!"
Nathan put his hand down in shame. And Whitey looked at him. Then it clicked.
"You."
He pointed at Nathan, and Nathan knew he got it. But no one else did.
"Look, Coach, I don't know what to say."
"Well... you should be damn happy that there is a lot of people here."
And Nathan saw one look in his coach's eyes that he has never seen before, hate.
Nathan looked at Haley and saw her run out of the gym with Brooke close behind.
Whitey stepped back and shouted.
"Everyone back to work, suicides NOW!"
Everybody got back to running, quickly.
"Oh my, look it's my dream come true."
Whitey turned and looked at the door, and in walked Lydia James, his daughter.
"Hey Lyd's what brings you here?"
She shook her head in disgust.
"Please don't call me that, and I am here for Haley, now I know she's here, where is she?"
Meanwhile, in the bathroom with Haley and Brooke
"Haley please tell me what's going on."
Haley turned and saw here sister's pleading eyes, so she decided, she would tell her.
"Alright, if I'm going to tell you, your mouth stays shut until I'm finished, okay?"
Brooke nodded her head.
"Okay, As you know at the beginning of Junior year I got married, well I got married to Nathan Scott. Then by the time that our Junior year was over, he had slept with Taylor, and one day I arrived at the apartment and he told me he was leaving, because he couldn't do the monogamy thing. It broke my heart, so I didn't know what to do except push on with my life, so I did, but I soon couldn't pay for the apartment, so I decided to give it up and move back in with mom. Big ass mistake! She made me into this little work machine. She told me I should be the perfect cheerleader, for my senior year. So I ran five miles a day and gave up a lot of food, until one day I collapsed and ended up in the hospital, and that's where the doctor told me I was pregnant..."
Haley paused to catch herself, because she was tearing up, and Brooke ran her hand up her arm lovingly. And Haley nodded.
"But, mom heard the doctor and worked me even harder, then I had a miscarriage, because I was worked too damn hard. That's when I knew, that I had to get out. I went to a judge and got emancipated from mom, and moved here to be with you."
Brooke smiled at Haley and wiped her own tear's then she laughed, and looked at Haley.
"I'm going to kick Nathan's ass."
Haley laughed and Brooke stood up and held her hand out and helped Haley get up. They walked back to the gym. And saw their mother.
"Oh Haley, thank god I found you!"
"Why the hell are you here?"
Brooke's voice was so loud that everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards them.
"I came to get my daughter back."
"According to the state, she's not your daughter!"
"Please, she will always be my daughter, now Haley come on, we have a lot of work to do."
Lydia began walking to the door until Haley said,
"No."
Lydia whipped her body around and began coming towards Haley. She pulled Haley to the door, and with Haley being so light, she couldn't stop her mother, but Brooke could.
"Get off her."
Lydia released Haley and slapped Brooke on the face, and about as soon as she did, Haley met her and slapped her mother hard on the face, and Lucas, Nathan and Whitey were coming in to make sure they were okay. Haley pointed a finger at her mother.
"Don't you touch her" then she began walking away.
Lydia shouted after her daughter and everyone in the gym watched.
"Haley, I made you."
Haley turned around and tears sprung out of her eyes.
"Made me? No, mother, you destroyed me, when I needed you the most you weren't there. I should have never came to you."
"Well, you did, because you were poor and couldn't afford to live in the apartment you shared with your fine husband."
"Listen closely bitch, I don't give a shit about you. You are no mother."
"Really, how the hell would you know, if I remember you killed your baby."
Dead silence for one minute straight, as tears poured out of Haley's eyes, she shook her head willing them to stop.
"No mom, you killed it! You made me run 5 miles a day while I was pregnant! How did you expect me to be the lifeline for a baby when I could barely stand up straight."
"Haley, apparently you should keep working, because your looking a little fat."
Haley's eyes grew wide."
"Really well, how bout this! You are just jealous because I am hotter than you, even though half of my child support went to your stupid ass plastic surgery, which really didn't do much I mean honestly, I would sue the jack ass that did that to you."
Haley smiled to her mother and then walked in closely.
"I would leave, in the next 10 seconds."
"Fine, but Haley, I'm not gone."
Haley couldn't stop the tears, what had her mother become, what had her husband become, and what had she become. More importantly, how was she going to fix it?
