Thanks for the reviews guys. Heres the next chapter.
It was the day after Tree Hill Highs first win for the season. It was about 10 o clock in the morning. It seemed like the Ravens were going to do well this season and Jamie couldnt be more happy about that. Sam and Sawyer came over to hangout for a little bit the night before for a few hours. He was however trying to figure things with Molly and Sam out. Jamie was laying in bed when he heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." He said as he laid there with his hands behind his head. Molly came in the door. She looked like she had been crying recently. Jamie noticed she wasnt wearing makeup, which was rare for her, but personally he liked her without it. He didnt think she needed it. She was wearing a pair of Tree Hill cheerleading sweatpants and one of Jamies basketball hoodies.
"Hey, I hope you dont mind me coming over. Your mom let me in." She said as she stood by his desk. She leaned up against it and looked at him. "Its okay." He told her. He wasnt exactly sure what he wanted to say, but he was interested in seeing what she had to say.
"Look, last night, I was being a bitch and I'm sorry. I dont like being one of those jealous girls. I trust you, and I know you wanna be with me, its just when I saw her and the way you looked at her, I got paranoid." Molly told him. Jamie sat up and looked at her. "Come here." He said as she walked over to his bed and he put his arms out so she could lay in them.
"I was wrong, she is pretty, and I just got a little threatened by it." Molly told her. "If you wanna break up with me, I understand." She told him. "But, I wanna get to know Sam, and I'll be nice I promise. I love making new friends." Molly told him.
"Molly, Im not breaking up with you because you got jealous of another girl. Its not like I dont get jealous when other guys look at you like I do." Jamie said. "You have nothing to worry about, Im with you. I like being with you, and eventually I want that to turn into love. Sam is just a friend. Shes a close friend and I want to have both of you in my life. Sam knows I have a girlfriend, and shes cool with it. In fact, Im sure she would want to be your friend too." Jamie told her.
Molly smiled. "Im sorry." She said as she kissed him on the lips softly. "Dont be." He said. "Its okay." He kissed her back.
"Wanna hangout today?" Molly asked him. "Sam can come too?" She said. Jamie was glad she wanted to be friends. He wasnt sure if she wanted to genuinely be friends, or if she just wanted to keep her close, but she was making an effort.
"Nah, I wanna hangout with my girl." Jamie said. "We'll do something with Sam later." Jamie said as he kissed Molly. He felt a little bad for not telling her about the kiss, but he knew that would just start something else, plus he didnt have feelings for Sam, at least thats what he tried to tell himself.
"Sawyer. I'm going shopping. Wanna come with me?" Peyton asked her daughter as she walked past her room. "I was actually about to go for a walk with Roxy if thats okay." Sawyer said as she climbed off her bed and slipped her shoes babe." Peyton said as she left Sawyer in her room. She grabbed her cell phone and ipod and followed her mom out the door. Swyer went to the backyard to get Roxy, her new white maltese. Sawyer put her on the leach and headed out for a walk. Sawyer usually walked around the block and down by the park.
"Zoey baby, where are you?" Haley shouted as she looked around the house. Haley was in the kitchen making lunch breakfest and realized she hadnt seen Zoey in a little bit. Haley was starting to freak because she hadnt seen here. She opened the back door and found Zoey outside with their chocolate lab. Zoey decided to name him Hershey. She said he reminded her of a hershey bar. Haley walked over to Zoey and got on her level.
"Zoey baby girl, you know you arent allowed out here by yourself. What if you get too close to the pool and fall in?" Haley told her. "You know me or daddy or Jamie have to be out here with you." Haley told her.
"I knows. Am I gonna get in troubles? I forgotted." Zoey told her mother. "No babe. but lets go inside. Come on Hershey." Haley said as they all went inside. Little did Haley know Dan was watching from the otherside of the yard. He wanted to be in his granddaughters life like he was Jamies. Well both his granddaughters. Lucas wouldnt let him near Sawyer, and Zoey didnt want anything to do with him, but he was about to change that. Dan smirked and walked away.
Brooke was in the kitchen making lunch for her and Sam. Julian would be back in a few days and Brooke was excited. She told him about Sam coming back, and he was happy about it too. Brooke had Davis sitting on the counter in his baby seat asleep. Brooke finished the sandwiches and took them to the living room where Sam was watching TV. She gave a plate to Sam and put hers on the coffee table then she went back to the kitchen to get Davis. She put him on the floor next to them and they watched TV and ate together.
Clay, Nate and Luke were at the rivercourt shooting hoops and just hanging out and talking.
"So, Clay you excited about becoming a father?" Lucas asked him. Clay and Lucas had become almost as close and Nathan and Clay had over the years.
"Im excited, but nervous too. How do you two make it look so natural?" Clay asked.
"I was scared as hell when Jamie was born. I didnt turn 18 until 2 months after he was born, and I was scared out of my mind, when Haley was pregnant with Zoey, I thought I wouldnt be as nervous, because I had done it before, but when we found out she was a girl, I felt the same way I did when Jamie was born. I was so greatful for her, but I didnt know how to raise a little girl. I had the boy thing down, but a girl was different, but pretty soon you just get the hang of it." Nathan told him.
"Yeah, I was the same way. I was afraid I was going to break Sawyer, it took me a few days before I was comfortable holding her without Peyton being there, but it worked out. Now I cant imagine things without Sawyer. It all just comes to you. When the baby is born, you'll know what to do." Lucas told him. "Do you know what sex you want the baby to be?" Lucas asked him.
"No, Quinn and I dont care, as long as the baby is healthy. We're fine with a boy or a girl, as long as he or she isnt in and out of hospitals." Clay said but then stopped himself as he looked at Lucas. "Man, Im sorry." He said remembering that Lucas had to deal with a sick little girl who was in and out of hospitals.
"No, dont be. It's all good." Lucas said. "But you say that now, but having a child who is sick, makes you love them more. If that is possible." Lucas told him. "When you know that you could loose your child to something as simple as ice cream, or a piece of bread, it makes you care a whole lot more, and you become more protective." Lucas told Clay. "Of course you want a healthy child, but you kind of just adjust to it. It used to be scary as hell when Peyton would call me at work and say she was in the hospital but pretty soon it gets easier. You never get used to it, because trust me, you dont want too, but you become better at handling it." Lucas told him. By now the guys were finished up playing their game and they went over to the bench and sat on it.
"Wow. I never thoughtof it like that." Clay told him.
"But dont worry, I mean Sawyer could be worse off. There are so many other problems she could have with her diabetes but she doesnt, Peyton and I are greatful that she can still be a normal kid." Lucas told them.
"Haley's been freaking out that Zoey's so small. She keeps taking her to the doctor, and they say nothings wrong, but im starting to worry too." Nathan told them. "She eats and eats but it doesnt show. Plus shes been tired a lot lately. We're gonna take her to the specialist Peyton recommended Brooke." Nathan told them.
"I hope everythings okay." Clay said.
"Me too. Little Zoeys too cute to be sick." Lucas told him. "So, Jamie did great last night. Im sure the scout was pleased."Lucas told Nathan.
"Yeah. Haley and I are so proud of him." Nathan told them. "Alright, you guys ready to head back." Nate asked.
"Yeah." Luke said as he grabbed the ball. They all grabbed their phones off the table and walked off.
Jamie and Molly were walking through the mall hand and hand when they saw Peyton. "Hey, theres my aunt." Jamie said as he saw Peyton shopping in Pacsun. Jamie and Molly went over to her.
"Hey Aunt Peyton." Jamie said.
"Hey Jamie." Peyton smiled. "And you must be Molly. Im Jamies aunt." Peyton told her as she shaked her hand.
"Shopping for Sawyer?" Jamie asked her.
"Yeah, Luke and I dont usually spoiler her, but we got her a dog, and I decided to get her some new clothes since shes been in and out the hospital more recently, and shes been good about it." Peyton told them.
"Yeah, I feel bad for her. I couldnt imagine not being able to eat bread." Jamie told her.
"Wait, does she have Cealiac disease?" Molly asked piping in for the first time.
"Yeah she was just diagnoised with it." Peyton told her.
"I actually have it too. Only my case is pretty mild. I can eat wheats and gluten, but it has to be monitored. You know, if she ever wants someone to talk to, I would be happy too. It would give me a chance to get to know Jamie's family anyways, but i know its hard, and it would be nice to talk to someone about it." Molly told her.
Jamie knew she had it, but he never put it together that his girlfriend and his cousin both had the same disease.
"Molly, thats really nice of you. She could probably use someone to talk to." Peyton said. They three of them continued talking for a few before parting ways.
Sawyer was walking Roxy down close to the rivercourt when she was stopped by Dan. She looked up at him. She was about 20 minutes from her house, 10 from the rivercourt. She knew her dad was at the rivercourt, so she hoped he would be there soon. She wasnt supposed to talk to Dan, and honestly she didnt want too. She knew Jamie was semi close to him, but niether her or Zoey wanted to be around him. Peyton and Lucas had told Sawyer all about Dan killing Kieth, and she didnt want to know a murderer.
"Hello Sawyer." Dan said to his oldest granddaughter. He was tired of Lucas and Nathan telling him he couldnt be around his grandchildren. Sawyer looked at him and thought it was creepy that Dan wore a suit all the time.
"Im not allowed to talk to you." Sawyer said as she turned the other way to head home. Dan moved in front of her blocking his way.
"Sawyer, Im not a bad guy. I just want to get to know you and Zoey more." Dan told her. "You are a bad guy. You killed your brother." Sawyer told him. Sawyer tried to move when he grabbed her arm.
Clay, Nate and Luke were walking up the hill when Clay spotted Dan and Sawyer.
"Luke." Clay said as he pointed to Dan and Sawyer. Dan's hand was holding tight to Sawyers wrist. Lucas' blood began to boil. He bolted over to them.
"Get the hell off of her Dan." Lucas said as he went over to his daughter. Clay and Nate came over as well.
"What the hell is your problem?" Nate said.
Dan let go of Sawyer and she went over to her dad and he pulled her close. Clay took Roxy's leesh for her.
"I just want to get to know my granddaughters. Mark my words, I will be in Zoey and Sawyers lives weather the both of you like it or not." Dan told them as he walked away.
Lucas took the basketball and threw it at Dan's head. Dan turned around.
"I'll be damned if you come near either one of them." Lucas told his father. "Stay the hell away from our families." Lucas said.
"And you just lost your right to see Jamie as well." Nathan told him.
"I dont think Jamie would take to well to that." Dan said.
"Jamie will understand when he finds out you physically abused his cousin." Nathan told Dan. He looked at Sawyer and saw she had a bruise on her arm. Lucas saw it too. He looked over at Clay and moved Sawyer over to Clay. Lucas walked over and punched Dan in the face.
"How many times do we have to tell you, we dont want you in our, or our children's lives. Go mess someone elses lives up. Stay way from the girls." Lucas said. "If i find out you try to talk to Sawyer again you'll be sorry." Lucas said as he kicked Dan then walked back over.
"If you even so much as mention Zoey's name you'll be sorry." Nathan said to his father. Clay, Lucas, Nathan and Sawyer left Dan and headed home.
Later that night Lucas and Nathan had told their wives about what had happened. Nathan and Haley were sitting in their living room.
"Nathan, do you think he'll try to talk to Zoey." Haley asked her husband. She was worried now, after what Dan had done to Sawyer. Apparently he didnt care that Luke and Nathan didnt want them in their daughters lives. "Yes I do. Hes Dan Scott, he doesnt take no for an answer." Nathan told her. "I do not want him in her life. I told him not to even mention her name." Nathan told her and she nodded. "I dont want him near her either." Haley said. "What about Jamie?" Haley asked. "I told Dan that he lost his right to be around Jamie." Nathan said.
"Nathan, thats up to Jamie." Haley said. "As much as I dont want him around Dan either, we agreed to it and Jamie is close to him." Haley said. Jamie was in the kitchen and he was listening to his parents conversation. He walked in the living room.
"I dont want to be around him if he hurt Sawyer." Jamie told his parents. "I love grandpa Dan, but I dont want to hangout with him, if hes going to be like this." Jamie told them.
"Are you sure?" Nathan asked. Inside he was jumping for joy. "Yes. Im sure." Jamie told his parents. "I'm tired of him always trying to munipulate people." Jamie said. He was a little upset, but he knew this was for the best. Jamie left the room. "I'm going to the rivercourt. I'll be back before cerfew." Jamie told them. It was saturday, but Nathan and Haley still wanted him home by 11.
"Thank God." Haley whispered. Nathan and Haley were both relieved at their sons decision. It would be either to fight Dan if their son was on their side.
Lucas and Peyton were in their kitchen. Lucas was sitting on a stool at the counter and Peyton was cooking dinner.
"I cant believe he touched her. I hate that man." Peyton said. She had just listened to her husband tell her about the altercation with his father earlier.
"Well, Nathan and I told him to stay the hell away from the kids or he would pay." Lucas said. Peyton nodded.
"Hey Sawyer, can you come here for a second?" Peyton said. Sawyer came out of her room a few seconds after Peyton called for her. She had been trying on the new clothes Peyton bought her.
"Whats up mom?" Sawyer asked. She had on a blue longsleved shirt from abercrombie that Peyton bought her.
"Can I see your wrist?" Peyton asked her. Sawyer nodded and pulled the material up her wrist. She winced as the fabric rubbed against her. It was a purple and blue bruise.
"Sawyer, if Dan approches you again, I want you to call one of us ASAP." Peyton told her.
Lucas agreed. "We dont want him around you, for obvious reasons." Lucas told his daughter.
"I will. Trust me." She said as she kissed her parents and went back to her room.
"15 minutes til dinner." Peyton said. She was making gluten free stirfry."
Lucas was talking to Peyton when he got a text from Luke.
Jamie doesnt want to see him either. I'm thinking restraining order for the girls? Lucas read the text and replied.
Hell yea. The bastards not gonna be around Sawyer anymore. Luke replied.
Alright. We'll do it tomorrow. Nathan responded to his brother.
Lucas closed his phone and looked at Peyton.
"Nathan and I are getting the girls restraining orders. Nathan said Jamie decided to stay away from Dan as well." Lucas told Peyton.
" A restraining order is a good idea." Peyton told him. They kept talking about the Dan sitution.
Jamie was at the rivercourt shooting hoops when he saw Dan's car pull up. Jamie grabbed his stuff and headed to his car. Dan got out and went over to him.
"Jamie, whats the rush. I know your dad said we cant see each other, but you're practically an adult. We can still hangout." Dan told him.
"No. We cant. I heard what you did to Sawyer, and thats not cool. I thought you were changing, but apparently not. I dont want to be around you anymore. Leave me, Sawyer and Zoey alone. As far as we're all concerned, you dont have any grandchildren." Jamie said as he got in his car and headed home.
Dan was left in the middle of the rivercourt. He was not going to have this. One way or another he was going to be in his grandchildren's lives whether his sons liked it or now.
There it is. Hope you guys liked it. Review please.
Kelsey.
