CHAPTER 1 - The Game
This is my first story so please be nice with the reviews! There is some Leyton and Naley fights but in the end it all gets worked out. Hope you all like it! Everything stays the same in the series except Dan does not have the heart condition (Lucas got it from his mom, Karen) and Peyton, Lucas and Sawyer stay in Tree Hill and are there for all the events. Other than that, everything remains the same.
The gang was gathered together in the stands at Jamie's high school basketball game, during the cool months of May. Jamie had just turned 16 and is in grade 10. He is tall, slim, has blue eyes and blonde hair, nothing like his father's brown eyes, brown hair and shorter body. It was evident that Jamie took more of his Uncle Lucas's appearance more than anything, but was it too much?
It was up to Jamie to make the game-winning basket. he was sweating and panting, his heart beating out of his chest. Jamie threw his hands in the air, releasing the ball. As the crowd follows the ball to see if it goes into the basket, Jamie crashes to the ground gripping his chest, in the place where his heart is. The ball is way short of the basket and doesn't even skim the side. Haley spots Jamie and screams at the top of her lungs, rushing to help her baby boy. Nathan, Lucas, Peyton, Brooke, Clay and Quinn all notice Jamie on the floor and run to the passed out boy. Nathan and Haley crouch down beside their son and await for the medic in the sidelines to get him on the stretcher and into the ambulance. Nathan and Haley cram into the back of the wailing vehicle as the rest of the gang rush into their cars to follow them to the hospital.
Nathan, Haley, Brooke, Julian, Peyton, Lucas, Quinn and Clay are all waiting in the waiting room impatiently to hear any sort of news. Millie, Mouth, and Skills offered to take Logan, Sawyer, Lydia, Davis and Jude back to their shared apartment to keep the kids busy and distracted. Jamie was put into emergency care to take tests, to see what was wrong and to treat him. After 5 hours of waiting, it was 12:30 a.m. and the doctor emerged from the operating room.
"Who are the parents of James Lucas Scott?" asked the doctor in a rush. Everyone stood up from their seats at once and Nathan and Haley rushed over to the doctor. It had been clear that Haley had been crying and Nathan was frustrated.
"Mr. and Mrs. Scott, James had a heart attack while he was playing. His stress levels were beyond high and his heart just gave out." Haley broke into tears again, while Nathan was confused and angry.
"How does that happen out of nowhere? He is 16 for christ sake! No 16 year old just has a heart attack because of his amount of stress!" Nathan yelled, not believing the information shared.
"We looked into that and ran some tests. Turns out that James actually has a heart condition called HCM. It is a genetic condition, which means maybe his father or grandfather has the condition as well." Nathan and Haley stood there in disbelief. There was no way Haley had it because she never had any problems and Nathan had already gotten tested when they found out that Lucas had the heart condition.
"His uncle, my half brother, has the condition but-" Nathan began but got interrupted by the doctor.
"Does the dad or mom that you and your half brother share, have the heart condition?" The doctor asked.
"No he doesn't" Nathan replied.
"Then there's no way James could have gotten the heart condition through your family. Is there any family on the other side that may have the condition?"
"My family doesn't have any medical conditions." Haley declared, clearly confused.
"Lets take a paternity and maternity test to find out if you in fact are the parents and we'll go from there."
Nathan opened his mouth to protest but the doctor turned around and rushed back to the operating room. That was absurd, theres no way Nathan and Haley aren't Jamie's parents!
The doctor came out into the waiting room with an envelope in hand.
"Here are the results, take a look."
Nathan ripped the paper out of the doctors hands and glanced at the sheet of paper, with Haley looking over his shoulder. Nathan's eyes open widely and he threw the papers at the floor. He ran over to Lucas and punched him across the face.
"You're my fucking brother and you slept with my wife and got her pregnant!" Haley ran over and pulled Nathan off of Lucas.
"Don't touch me you slut! You slept with my brother! You're all a bunch of fucking liars!" Nathan roared and stomped out of the hospital.
