Chapter 4: Billboard Awards And High School Reunion:
It is a beautiful July night. Jamie, Landon, Carmen, and Summer are at Deb's for the night. Nate and Hales are getting ready for the Billboard Music Awards. Hales has been nominated for "Album of the Year", and Presenting "Hottest Newcomer of the Year", and sing her song "Halo." Haley did do a sound check earlier that afternoon. Everything went great. And Nate, Jamie, Landon, Carmen, And Summer were there to watch Hales Sings.
Peyton and Karen had already set Tric up for the after party early in the day. Jenny is watching Shane and Paige for the night. Jake and Peyton are getting ready. Jake had rented a limo to take to the billboard's for Peyton, Lucas, Brooke, and himself. The limo had come to pick up Peyton and Jake fifteen seconds ago next they are going to pick up Lucas and Brooke.
Brooke and Lucas are already for the night. Karen is watching Anthony, June, and Logan. Karen has the night off from the club so she can watch her grandkids. Who she loves so much. So Peyton will be in charge of the after party. The reason for the fifteen seconds for the pick up is the three couples live next door to each other.
Nate and Hales had arrived to the Billboard Awards first. Peyton, Lucas, Brooke and Jake's limo pulls up behinds Nate and Hales'. The six friends/family member walked on the red carpet together to their seats. Brooke, Nate and Hales signed autographs and took photos with the rest of the group. Along with the photos and autographs Nate, Hales and Brooke did interviews.
After about ½ an hour to an hour of autographs, Photos and interviews. The gang took their seats in the third row for the awards. In the row along with the six friends sat Nelly Furtado and her date Justin Timberlake. The weird twist is that Hales are friends with the both of them. Before the show started Justin, Hales and Nelly teamed up to do an Album.
During the time before the show started the three of them worked out all the details for the album. Like the art work for the cover will be done by Peyton, Justin and Hales are the co-producers. Brooke is doing wardrobe for the photos in the booklet. Half of the produces will go to the "Keith Scott" Foundation which helps out one parent families all around the world.
Akon is the host of the award show. He comes out all flashy and showy. He even throws out a few jokes. Next came the usual opening speech. The speech was about the big named artists that have been nominated tonight. The other half was about confidence, strength, and courage. In other words Akon has just been showboating around for the past fifteen to twenty minutes. This in turn made all of the audience members including Naley thinking "When was Akon going to shut his big mouth up."
It is six awards into the show. And Haley is wearing the dress that Brooke designed. It is a long down to the ground length wise, lilac colored, strapless and with a deep v-neckline, backless form fitting dress. In other words very um... Brooke like. The award that Haley is presenting tonight is "Hottest Newcomer of the Year." and when ever some one would ask who made the dress Hales is wearing she said "My bestest friend Brooke Davis-Scott designer of Clothes Over Bro's and Clothes Over Bro's for Babies."
"The nominees for "Hottest Newcomer of the Year" are... Max Binder, Alex Lerner, Kristen Cabrera, and last but not least Keagan Parker." Hales say. And Hales co-presenter who just happens to be Pete Wentz from Fallout Boys. And he says "and the winner is...male Alex Lerner and for the female... Keagan Parker." With Hales and Pete being friends there was a lot of friendly banter going back and forth between the two.
The audience went into an up roar after they named the male and the female for the "Hottest Newcomer of the Year." The two of them cam up onto the stage to accept their awards and make their speeches. Hales gave Alex his. And Pete gave Keagan hers. Hales hugged both of them. And Pete being the manly man that he is just shook both of the winners hands.
Another four awards later...Hales comes to the stage again. This time to sing her song "Halo". She raises the mike to her mouth and starts to sing.
"I never promised you a ray of light; I never promised there'd be sunshine
Everyday. I give you everything I have, the good. The bad. Why do you put me on a pedestal, I'm so high
That I can't see the ground below so help me down you've got it wrong
Don't belong there. One thing is clear, I wear a Halo, I wear a
Halo when you look at me. But standing from here, you wouldn't
Say so you wouldn't say so, if you were me and I, I just wanna
Love you, oh oh I, I just wanna love you. I always said that I
Would make mistakes. I'm only human, and that's my saving grace, I
Fall as hard as I try. See me as I really am, I have flaws and
Sometimes I even sin so pull me from that pedestal, I don't
Belong there. One thing is clear, I wear a Halo, I wear a Halo
When you look at me, but standing from here you wouldn't
Say so you wouldn't say so, if you were me and I, I
Just wanna love you, oh oh I, I just wanna love you.
Why you think that you know me but in your eyes
I am something above you it's only in your mind only in your mind
I wear a I wear a I wear a Halo. One thing is clear I wear a Halo,
I wear a Halo when you look at me, but standing from here, you wouldn't
Say so you wouldn't say so, if you were me and I, I just wanna love you.
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you haaaa ha-ha Halo."
Three awards later... it was time for the category of "Best Album of the Year." "The nominees are Panic! At the Disco, Haley James Scott, Dan Parker, And last but not least Michael Foster." Says Gavin Degraw. "And the winner is ... Haley James Scott."Gavin Says. Haley stands up and kisses Nate. Then Walk up to the stage to accept her award. Then she gives Gavin a hug.
"First of all I would like to thank god for everything he has given to me in life. And also to my loving husband of twenty-two years. My four wonderful kids Jamie, Landon, Carmen and Summer. Also I would like to thank my friends Lucas, Gavin, Brooke, Peyton, Jake, Karen, Mouth, Bevin, Skills, my parents, brothers, sisters, my record label, mangers, my nephews, nieces, and everyone involved on my albums over the years. Thank you." Hales says.
Seeing as the billboard awards were in tree hill. Nate's surprise was to take a ride to the docks. Where they had their first tutoring session, there are candles, flowers, and food set out on the table. Hales had no idea about any of it. All she knew was that Nate had a surprise all plan out for her. And she knew about the party at Tric. So an hour later they left for Tric. As they arrive they see the gang. And realize that anyone who is anyone is also there.
Hales and Nate walk over to the gang. The first thing the gang does is go up to Hales to hug and Congratulations her on all her awards. Including this award. Hales has about eleven awards all together. Five billboards and six Grammies. Ranging in all categories. And of course Nate was there for Hales every time. It does not even have to be said that he is proud of her.
As the night went on the group of friends dance and drink the night away. Hales had run into an old friends of hers Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp. They talked mostly about their lives, Music, the award show. So in other words they talked about their usual. Michelle, Jessica, and Hales talked for hours. After saying goodbye Hales went back to her husband and friends.
After an hour of talking and hang out with Nate and her friends. She went to go talk with Alex Lerner and Max Binder. "Hey, Max and Alex." Hales say to them. "Congrats, Alex on the award. I see lots more in your future. And I also see lots of awards for you also, Max." Hales Says. "Why thank you, Hales." Alex and Max both say in unison. Before Hales left the three of them agreed to stay in touch.
Two hours after arriving to Tric. The gang leaves. All three couples in one limo. They arrive home. The kids are still at their grandparents for the night. So they went to bed for the night. The next morning the two couples went and got their kids. And now the three couples are at the café. The adults including Karen were all sitting around at the usual table by the door of the café talking while kids were playing on the couch nearby. Two Hours later... "I think it is time for us to leave honey." Nate says to Hales. They say goodbye to everyone and picked the kids off the couch and they leave the café.
A week after the award show. Just so happened to be the reunion. The girls were getting ready for the night at Peyton's and Jake's place. While the guy's were getting ready over at Lucas' and Brooke's Place. It has been 23 years since graduation. And since the gang saw everybody (Bevin, Skills, Junk, Fergie, and Mouth). Hales was curling her hair, Peyton was doing her make-up, and Brooke was getting changed. While the guys were tying their ties.
"So how do I look, guys?" Hales says. She is wearing a baby blue, Strapless, fitted shilotte dress. "Hot, Sexy. Nate's eyes are going to pop out of his head. What about me?" Says Brooke. Who is wearing a pink halter with a ball gown bottom. "Luke will not know what hit him. Lastly what about me, how do I look?" Peyton says wearing a white strappy mermaid bottom Dress. "Jake is one lucky S.O.B. Now it is time to meet the guys." Brooke and Hales says.
The guys went over to Peyton's and Jake's place to pick up the girls. Brooke was the first one to come downstairs. It looked as though Luke's eyes were about to pop out of his head. A minute later with Brooke By Luke's side Peyton came down, Haley did with her hand on the banister she glided down the steps. And Nate's jaw dropped to the floor. Nate went up to Hales and kissed her. Then the three couples left for the reunion in a limo.
Nathan has one arm around Hales and the other popping the cork on a bottle of red wine everybody grabs a glass and drink their wine. "So I can't wait to see Bevin and Skills." Brooke says. "I can not wait to see the old team and the river court gang." Nate says. "Too bad Whitey is not here to see us now." Luke says.
"I know what you mean, Luke. But he is here in spirit with us." Nate says. Then there were a few minutes of silence in the limo. Then before they realized that they were back at their old stomping grounds Tree Hill High School. First the ladies get out of the limo. Then it is the guys turn. The group coupled up and yet walked into the high school as a group or the group from the olden times.
They walk into the group and over to a table. They sat around the table as a couple. Brucas, Naley, Jeyton. Ten minutes later Bevin and Skills walked over and sit down. They all get to talking and having fun. When Lucas feels a tap on his shoulder. It was Mouth, Junk and Fergie with their wives Erica, Rachel and Rory. Everyone gets up to greet everyone and introduces themselves to Rory.
Because everyone already knows Erica and Rachel. Brooke, Peyton, and Haley are not happy that Rachel is married to Junk or that she is sitting with them at the same table together. Because of all the crap that Rachel has pulled during high school. The DJ starts to play Haley's new single "Good & Bad Memories." Featuring Alex Lerner and Max Binder. No one has heard the song yet. Not even Nathan or their friends. Tonight will be the first for the public hearing the song and Hales is nervous. So to calm her nerves Nate ask Hales to dance.
She says "Of course,baby. You know me all to well." "That is my job as your husband to know everything there is to know about my wife." Nate says with his famous Scott smirk that Hales knows all to well. Nate and Hales look around at everybody dances to her son. "So do you think they like the song?" Hales says. "I think that the way everybody is behaving that everybody is up and dancing it is a success." Nate says.
Once the song is over everybody goes crazy because of the fact that the song is such a success. This makes Hales happy. The gang starts to walk over to their table. But they are stopped by... Felix. "So who's the father?" Felix says. Hales cringes at that familiar voice. Nate takes both hands and turns them into fists upon hearing the voice.
While Nate is about to take a step towards Felix. Hales walks back over to their table. Lucas positions his body in between Nate and Felix. Because Luke knows that once Nate starts to throwing punches at Felix. Nate would win the fight with Felix. Even during high school Lucas would be considered the peacemaker. That carried over to adult hood. "This is not the time or place to fight Felix, Nate." Lucas says.
"You know, Luke you are right he is just a piece of shit. And he is not worth it." Nate says. "Wait, do I have the right brother. Because the Nathan Scott that I know would never agree with anyone on this subject so quickly." Luke says. " Come on man let's get the girls and go." Nate says.
"Sure, little brother. He is not worth it any way." Luke says. Both Nate and Luke walk over to where the gang was sitting at the table. "Come on guys lets get out of here and go home." Skills says. "I agree that is why Luke and I came over here to get you guys." Nate says. Luke walks over to Brooke and puts his arm around her and everybody leaves. The whole gang jumps into the limo. The driver takes them to their seven own houses. Lucas and Brooke walk up to their door and go to bed. Naley walks up to their's and go to bed also. Jeyton does the same thing. Next was Bevin and Skills walk up to their door and go to bed also. But before they split up they made plans for when Hales' new album comes out.
The plans for when the album are Hales will be dealing with press. So it is up to the rest of the gang to decorate Tric for the album release Party as per usual Karen deals with the food. Peyton deals with the music she has Plain White T's to play a few songs along also of course Hales, Justin, Nelly, Max Binder, and Alex Lerner and anyone who is anyone is invited to this big bash. With all those singers there is no need for a DJ. The party is in a month so the plans are still going.
