In the emotional hour long service friends and family said goodbye yesterday to wife, mother and award winning musician, Haley James Scott. Her rep let out this simple statement "We will forever miss Haley; she left a great mark on this world." Haley left behind six daughters and her husband, NBA star Nathan Scott.

"Turn that crap off." Nathan said as he walked into his living room, he sat on the couch as he faced his manager.

"Sorry man, it's all over the place, radio, TV..."

"Yeah I know that but you're not going to listen to it while the girls are here" Nathan said coldly. "Okay so I need to talk to you about this leave that they gave me."

"Yeah, you've got two months off then it's the playoffs you have to be back at work."

"What if two months isn't enough?" Nathan asked.

"What do you mean, two months is enough you and the girls have to get on eventually." Nathan frowned.

"These are teenaged girls, they are all hormonal, and this is a time where having a mom is really important, what if they aren't ready in two months for me to be working again."

"Well then they'll have to be." His manager said as he quickly stood up and left. Nathan sighed and leaned back on the couch. For the first time in his life he felt completely and utterly lost. He sat in complete silence until he was joined by Delia, his oldest daughter plopped down on the couch next to him, she was still in her pajamas, and her hair was thrown onto a bun on the top of her head.

"How ya doing?" Nathan asked as his oldest daughter smiled at him weakly.

"It's weird I know she's gone but I still got up this morning and thought she'd be down in the kitchen cooking. It's just so surreal." Delia picked at her finger nails as she regained her composure.

"It's okay De, were all sad. I'm gonna go and make sure all your sisters are up but if you ever need to talk I'm always here." Nathan said as he got up and kissed his daughter on the head before heading up the stairs. Delia stood up and headed towards the kitchen as she came upon the family, bulletin board, Haley had bought this huge bulletin board, years ago it was the only way everyone could what was going on, it had everything from times for dance practice to school events, as well as notes from Nathan and Haley to their daughters, Nathan had a few up there reminding Jade and Quincy to get their stuff out of the living room and Haley had notes up their reminding the girls about plans that had been set months ago. Delia smiled at the board; it was a comfort of the home. Her smile faded as she saw a set of new notes, written from Haley there were six of them all lined up in a row.

"That's weird." Delia said she hadn't noticed the notes before; mom must have put them up before she went to work. She thought as she took her note down and started to read it.

Delia,

I have a feeling that you will find these first. I'm writing this because I'm not sure how much longer I will be alive. If you're reading this either I have died or you're looking in the wrong spot for the Christmas gifts. I just need you to always remember what a special girls you are, you are so talented and beautiful I know that someday you're going to change the world. Wherever you go or whoever you become please don't forget where you came from and who helped you become the person you are. Please look after your sisters, they all look up to you so much and want to be just like you. Set a good example for them sweetie.

I can't even fathom what I'm going to miss with you girls, you all bring so much joy and love into my life I don't want to miss a second, but I know that I have to. You are old enough to know the truth about what is happening; the entertainment industry is really tough honey, most of the reason why we kept living in Tree Hill was because your dad and I didn't want you girls to suffer from all the darkness of fame. But people were always waiting for the next picture of you girls, some people went further than that I got a lot of threats, but there was one that was the worst, someone was going to find you girls and do the imaginable, he is the same man who will eventually kill me. I don't when and I don't how, but I'd rather it be me instead of one of you girls or your dad.

I love you more than life itself Delia, remember that I'm with you everyday. I will always be watching down on you. I love you my baby.

Mom.

Delia felt her knees give out she fell to the floor in tears, the worst thing about loosing her mom was that her mom knew she was going to die. Delia kept crying staring at the note, until Nathan came in the room accompanied by Stevie and Ariella, the three of them picked Delia off the floor and sat her in a chair.

"Delia what's wrong talk to us." Stevie said worriedly. She just continued to cry. The girls tried to comfort their sister while Nathan picked up the letter off the floor and started to read it. Delia watched through her tears as Nathan's face got paler, as he finished the letter, Delia watched her father swiftly take all the other notes of the board and set them on the table out of Stevie and Ariella's sight.

"Um can you too please go um to the other room?" Nathan said nervously. Once Stevie and Ariella were gone Nathan sat down and hugged his daughter, letting her cry into his shoulder.

"She knew daddy, she just walked around for months knowing that some day she was going to die, who does that." Delia said as Nathan just held her not knowing what to think or say.

"Delia, calm down, she must have done it for a good reason, just calm down." Delia was to shocked to fight back she just kept sobbing in her fathers shirt as her younger sisters watched with fear from the other room.

Later that night.

"Nate what up?" A surprised Brooke Davis opened the door to her house, as she let her brother in law come in.

"Nothing I just need to talk to Lucas, is he around?" Nathan said as he smiled at Brooke who headed down the hallway after Lucas.

"Hey Nate, how you doing?" Nathan sighed at his brother as he walked towards him.

"We need to talk, can we go outside?" Nathan asked.

"Sure." The two brothers headed outside and before Lucas had even shut the door Nathan went off.

"She knew she was going to die! Someone wanted to hurt the girls and they had been following her, she told them they could hurt her not me or the girls. Who does that! We have a ton of money we could have gotten security or gave them money but her life! What the hell am I supposed to do, the girls need Haley! This all happened but could have prevented it! What kind of lie was I living I thought we had the type of marriage where we could tell each other stuff, like life threatening stuff, but I guess I was wrong, how could she not tell me something like this!" Nathan was furious walking back in forth in front Lucas. "You have no idea how much stuff I didn't say to her, I have so much to say to her and she's gone." Lucas just let his brother rant and cry. He knew that Nathan's heart was more than broken it was shattered.

At the Scott House

"Come on Delia we know something is up, tell us." Jade said as she sat at the end of her oldest sisters' bed.

"I don't know what to tell you; maybe we should wait for dad." Delia said.

"Or you could just tell us now, whatever it is we deserve to know."

"Okay, fine these are from mom but before you read them you have to remember that mom was only doing what she thought was best for us. Mom knew she was going to die, someone was going to hurt us and she told them to hurt her instead of us." Delia said quietly as her sisters all anxiously read their letters.

Late that night Nathan's bedroom.

Nathan sat in his bed, he had found his letter addressed from Haley in his bathroom, he currently sat staring at the outside, Haley's curvy handwriting that spelled out Nathan. Nathan loved it when she said his name; she said it out of pure love. He slowly opened the letter preparing himself for the worst.

Nathan,

Since the day I met you I loved you, you have a few rough edges but are a great man, husband, and father. You are simply the best thing that has ever happened to me you have given me 20 years of greatness, 6 great kids. I cant bring myself to write out what happened, I'm ashamed that I didn't tell you but I was so scared for our daughters lives. They deserve another 70 years on earth, to accomplish all the great things I know they can. I have lived a great life, and that is mostly because of you. I don't even want to think about you living with out me but you have to. You also deserve greatness; I want you to be happy. You don't have to forget me (I don't except you to do that) but I want you to move on, live your life, and know that in 50 years I will see you again. I am in a better place watching you and the girls every single day. Teach them the right things; turn them into great human beings. Be the man I know you can be. I would have never forgiven myself if something had happened to you or one of the girls, know I did this all out of love. I didn't tell you because I had to live in a state of denial so I could go through with it, because I couldn't imagine not being their with you and our daughters, watching them laugh at TV late at night or rushing around in the mornings. Or us spooning in bed every night. I know that you will probably be forever guilty but don't be none of this was your fault.

I love you so much.

Always and forever, Haley

Nathan closed his eyes and pounded his fist on the bed. Honestly he didn't know what to think. He knew how to pick to pieces back up and start again but what he didn't know was to mend a broken heart.
