Knock. Knock.
Madison Landry hated living in an apartment building for many reasons. Every one was door to door. The walls was so thin you could join in on the conversation with each other. You could hear everything including when someone had a visitor in the middle night.
Knock. Knock.
Someone really needed to answer their door before the tired nurse lost it. After working four sixteen hour shifts what she needed was sleep which she wasn't getting.
Knock. Knock.
It sounded closer than it did a minute ago.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
Madison slowly opened her eyes. 4:07. It was fourp o clock in the morning.
Knock. Knock.
It was at her door.
She kicked her feet over the bed quickly grabbed her robe and tied it as she made her way to the door.
"Someone better be dying or dead" she said as swung the door open.
"Hey" Jamie Scott said as he leaned against her door frame. "I really needed to see you".

Sixteen year old Haddie Gatina slowly pushed the door open to her mothers oversized house and walked in. She was followed by her twin sister Maddie who quietly shut the door behind her. Not that it mattered. Neither girl made it any farther before the lights flicked on.
Rachel Gatina-Scott stood in the corner with a look that could kill.
"When I say your curfew is at nine thirty I mean be home at nine thirty. Its not an option. It's a rule".
"We lost track of the time" Maddie said shrugging her shoulders.
"No we didn't. I didn't want to come home. I was having fun we came home because the party ended and I don't care what time you want me to come home I will come home when I feel like coming home just like you felt like moving us. Again. You didn't care that we had friends and… I don't know a life but the first time a guy bats his eyelashes at you in thirteen years and you drag us to this one pony town. There was a thousand guys in new York and maybe you would have found one if you ate anything besides a mcDouble so you wouldn't be walking around looking like a big Mac. Its hard to find someone when you let yourself go".
Ouch.
Well, that one hurt.
"Gee Haddie why don't you tell me how you really feel" Rachel said swallowing the lump in her throat.
Haddie rolled her eyes and headed up the stairs with her sister in tow.
"Seriously that was kind of harsh" Maddie told her twin.
"You say that like I'm supposed to care".
Rachel stood downstairs with her arms wrapped around her torso. She walked to the window and starred outside. Oddly enough she saw her daughters car parked lopsided had Jamie's car been there she would've hit it.
But it wasn't.
Rachel looked at the clock that read 422.
"Where the hell is he"?

Logan Evans walked through the door to his parents house and tossed his duffel bag on to the couch.
Achoo.
He heard the tiniest sneeze he had ever heard. In the corner laying in a little bouncer was the newest addition to the Evans family. There Logans baby brother stared at him through his big look a like blue eyes.
"Look how big you've gotten" he said with a grin walking over to him. "Come here CJ".
Logan unfastened the belt strapping him in and slowly pulled him up.
"Where's your silly… Well partially crazy parents at"? He asked as if he was going to get an answer.
He walked around the corner and heard voices coming from down the hall.
"Mom" he called.
"Logan… Haley and me are in the bedroom" he heard her call back.
Logan pushed the door to his parents room open. He found his mom and aunt sitting in a pile of clothes.
"Hey baby" Quinn told her son and ran over giving him a hug. "I thought you wasn't coming home until next weekend".
"A race got canceled. Is it OK if I crash here for a while… Sawyer moved into the beach house after Jamie and Jenny bought them a place… Pre memory loss and Jamie put it in her name anyways so I'm kinda homeless for a few weeks".
"Ugh sure".
"I still need to go get all my things from there anyways. Give us a chance to talk. Maybe even fix things. Who knows"?
Haley and Quinn exchanged looks. Weird looks.
"You two haven't spoke? At all"?
"No why"?
"Logan, Sawyer is engaged. She is getting married. Tomorrow" Haley told her nephew.
Logan smiled. Then he laughed. Then he stopped.
He shook his head as if he didn't believe her mainly because he didn't.
"What! Your joking"?
"No she's not" Quinn told her son.
She handed him a folded up news paper.
The article read :
"Red bedroom producer to marry Doctor on Friday"
"Bu bu" CJ said touching his older brothers face.
"I thought you knew that's why I never said anything I just figured you didn't want to talk about it" Quinn said.
He was pale as a ghost. He couldn't find the words to say... There wasn't any.
"Logan are you OK"? Haley asked.
"Yeah" he said.
It was on instinct. It was a lie.
"You know what no I'm not" Logan said.
He handed his brother to his mom and nearly flew out of the room.
"Maybe its not such a good idea I go to the rehearsal dinner" Quinn said.
"Maybe not" Haley told her sister.

"Your going to end up with a needle in your ass if you don't hold still Sawyer" Brooke told her god daughter.
Altering a dress was normally so easy.
"I'm sorry" Sawyer repeated herself for the thousandth time in the past hour. "I'm just…"
"Pre wedding jitters" Peyton finished her sentence as she walked back into the room with a bowl of popcorn. "I know I had them".
"Brooke are you OK"? Sawyer asked looking down off the stool at her very irritated god mother.
"Yes. You want to wear your mothers wedding dress it's sweet. It would be even sweeter if you was around eight months pregnant".
Peyton rolled her eyes at her friend.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"That's my phone" Sawyer said.
She hoped off the stool causing Brooke to pumble face forward considering she was balancing on Sawyer.
"Sure we could all use a little break" Brooke said as she pushed herself up into a standing position. "That is before I start breaking blondes necks".
"Hey baby" Sawyer said answering the phone. "Brooke is just working on my dress so I can wear the one mom wore when she married dad... Well yeah I did buy that one but I decided to wear this one instead you gave me your great grandmother's ring so I want to wear my moms dress… Start some traditions... The rehearsal starts at seven so don't be late. There are other doctors in the hospital but you are only ever going to get married once... I got to go but I love you".
Sawyer hung up and jumped back on the stool.
Forty seven minuets later after two Brooke temper tantrums, three needle slips into Sawyers butt, and it was done.
"What do you know? I haven't lost my touch… Or magic does exist" Brooke said observing the blonde Scott.
"Wow" the three heard.
Lucas Scott stood at the doorway looking like the wind hot knocked out of him.
"You look so beautiful".
"Luke what are you doing here"? Peyton asked clearly not amused by his presence.
"Davis let me in… Can I talk to you… Both of you"?
"I have to go water my plants anyway" Brooke said.
A lie and not a very good one.
"There is no excuse for anything I've said or done".
"Your right there's not" Sawyer interrupted her father before he had the chance to say anything else. "You know we all lost LJ. All of us. Not just you or me or mom but Keith lost him too. We are supposed to stick together. As a family but instead you tore us apart".
"Sawyer" Peyton said.
"No. Its OK. Its true. It wasn't intentional. I didn't mean those things I said to Keith or to your mother or anyone else. I dealt with it the worst and stupist way imaginable. I drank. It was my escape from everything and everyone. Sawyer losing your child is something you don't understand".
"Well I do" Sawyer says as she grabbed her purse and dug through it before pulling out a album book. "You lost your son, my brother, that night and I lost my daughter. So don't stand there and tell me I don't understand because I do. It hurts. My heart shatters every morning because I didn't get to hear her laugh or first word or watch her take her first steps… Be lucky for the years you got with LJ. Here is the only existing pictures of my little girl".
Peyton and Lucas stood sided by side. Speechless. Peyton reached out and slowly took the album and the two flipped through it.
Lucas stared at His daughter. He always knew she was strong but he never realized just how strong. He didn't hesitate another second before wrapping his little girl in his arms.
Peyton could only watch as she broke down in tears in her fathers arms. She had questions. She knew Lucas did but neither was going to ask one of them.
Peyton joined her husband and daughter.
Lucas was happy. Maybe not the circumstances but he held his girls in his arms for as long as he could as if the world stopped turning just for those few minuets.
"So there is this things tomorrow. It's not big deal but I'm kind of getting married and was hoping you could walk me down the aisle" Sawyer told her father with a small grin.
"I'll have to check my schedule".
Peyton shook her head because the two spoke a weird language she would never understand.

Madison held her coffee mug tightly in her hand as she started at her ex husband. It was weird that it was nice. It had been nice to talk to him for the past five hours. They hadn't talked like this in… Years.
"Why didn't you just tell everyone that"? Jamie asked turning his body to face her. "Or me. Why didn't you tell me that"?
"You really don't remember anything… Jamie we was in such a bad place I don't think… Scratch that you wouldn't have believed a word that came out of my mouth. You thought I was just using your dad as a back up plan for money for gods sake" Madison told him.
"Everyone makes you out to be this back person… Even you" Jamie said.
He slid his the palm of his hand across hers and up her small some what fragile looking arm.
"I hear all of it but I just don't believe it. I mean how could I? Even with losing my memories I know you better than you know yourself. It was devastating. I wake up out of a coma and find out that I married the woman of my dreams and then I lost her. This isn't right. We should be together. We should still be married".
"But we aren't Jamie… You are married though".
Madison ran her thumb across the wedding band he wore on his finger.
"Why? Why did you marry her"?
"I don't know. I woke up and I find out we was divorced and I had a daughter who didn't have a mother… So I found her one. Then I find out that I let some woman I dated for a few months adopt her and suddenly Grace had two moms but neither were or are her mom's nor will they ever be."
Madison had quit listening.
She sat back and let her body sink into the couch.
"You.. You let Jenny adopt Gracie"?
Jamie nodded his head. He couldn't defend or represent himself because he didn't know why he had done it.
"You left us… You left us. We made promises to be together no matter what. If the world ends I'd want to be standing next to you but things happen. Life happens. But Gracie? How could you do that to Gracie? Your her mother".
Jamie jumped up off the couch. He was mad. He was hurt. She couldn't tell which he was more of and honestly it didn't matter.
"It made sense at the time maybe not much sense but it made sense. In the stories she will hear I will always be the villain. If it helps leaving her has been the single hardest thing I have ever done. I thought it was what would be best for her".
Jamie couldn't take his eyes off of Madison. She wiped away the tears that had fell from her eyes.
"How could Gracie not having a mother be what's best for her"? Jamie asked.
Well, when you put it like that...
"I mean how does Jasmine and Peter feel about not getting to meet their granddaughter"?
"Dad has tried to see her but your parents always said no. Not that I blame them the guy is a drunk and mom died right after junior Easter our junior year".
He looked down at her speechless. Madison was always so close to her mom. He was always so close to her mom.
Jamie sat down on the coffee table in front of her and he wrapped her small hand up in his two large ones.
"I tell everyone that it doesn't bother me or that I don't love you. Whatever. Every time I have found out something that sucks or that hurt me or that devastated me or that made me happy I have wanted to talk to you. Your my person. You've always been my person. I love you and right now all I want to do is kiss you".
"Your married and even if you wasn't its complicated Jamie. Its more complicated than you can understand".
Madison stood up and headed towards the kitchen but within seconds she found herself in Jamie's arms. He pressed his life against her.
It was wrong.
She knew that.
She needed to stop it.
But, she couldn't.
This was the love of her entire existence and he was kissing her. Madison could feel her knees start to buckle and her hands start to shake. It was all she could do to hold herself up.
Jamie pushed her against the closest wall knocking a picture off the wall.
She heard the glass shatter from the from. She couldn't even force herself to care.
Madison didn't even look to see which one it was.
She tugged the zipper down on Jamie's leather jacket and pushed it off his body. It made a light noise when it hit the ground. Not that either was paying attention. That seven hundred dollar jacket was the last thing on their mind.
Jamie ran his hands up underneath the large shirt she was wearing and lifted it over her head before tossing it to the side. He didn't really care where it landed as long as it wasn't on her.
Madison watched her hands as she slowly pulled apart each button on his shirt before pulling it down his arms and throwing it across the room.
OK, now she was weak in the knees.
Jamie stood in front of her. Shirtless.
Madison slowly ran her hands down from his chest to his stomach gliding her fingernails across his skin. She leaned in and kissed from his neck to his collar bone.
He pushed his hand against the wall looking down at her as she continued to plant small kisses on him.
It was the sexist thing ever.
Jamie lifted her up and carried her across the apartment before tossing her like a rag doll onto her bed. He was quick to hover over her and press his lips back against hers.
He was married.
This was wrong.
Ultimately he did care but he cared more about her than anything else at the given moment.

"What do you mean you two kissed"? Lydia asked Catalano as she zipped the back of her dress up.
"What do you mean what do I mean"? Catalano asked walking out of her bathroom. "There are only a few ways you can do that".
"So are you two back together"?
"Not even close that kiss was all him. Like I said his well being comes first and I just want him to be OK"?
"You don't think he is?" Lydia asked.
"I don't know but what I do know is something still isn't right with him".
Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Your house phone is a wanting to be answered" Lydia told the black haired girl.
"No that is dads line… I'll go answer it, its probably just Alex".
Lydia followed her out of the room and down the hall.
"You know he didn't do it. He knows that you know that he didn't do it. Your both crazy about each other it makes no sense why you aren't together" Lydia was a rambler.
"Its not that simple" Catalano said in a sing song voice.
The two girls walked into Chases bedroom a moment to late.
"This is Sheriff Adams sorry I was unable to answer your phone call. Just leave a quick message and I'll get back with you as soon as I can".
Catalano was about to just let that be that…
"Hey Chase. Its Mia".
That voice. Her voice.
Lydia looked at her best friend who looked paler than normal.
"Its my weekly call and I just wanted to check on the kids".
"What is she calling for"? Catalano asked.
"Only one way to find out".
Lydia picked up the phone and reached it out to Catalano. She half wanted to jerk it out of her hands and throw it.
She didn't.
Catalano sat down on her fathers bed and pressed the phone against her ear.
"Mom"?
It was silent for a moment. Just a moment.
"Catalano… Hey baby".

Davis pushed open the door in front of him and stepped into his brothers room. He found Jude standing in front of his full length mirror buttoning his white shirt.
That was aggravating. They was twins. They was wearing the same thing and somehow Jude looked like a Calvin Klein Model and Davis looked like someone who got asked to join Rudy's fun circus.
"Blue tie or black tie" Davis asked holding them up.
Jude tilted his head looking at him oddly.
"Its the rehearsal dinner you don't have to wear a tie"he told his brother. "But if you insist on wearing one go with the black. The blue emphasizes your biggest flaws".
Davis glared at his brother.
"You saying I'm ugly"?
"No I'm saying you got a big nose".
Davis ignored him as he put on his black tie.
"You going with Haddie to the wedding tomorrow" Davis asked his brother.
"No. I don't really think we are going to see each other any more".
"Why not"?
"Catalano and Lydia was there at the movie theater. Cat and I talked. She said she knows I didn't do it. We ended up kissing. I don't know what's going to happen but I do know that I shouldn't be with anyone else until I figure things out with her… Or myself really".
"You two kissed"?
It was as easy as that for Davis to see red.

Well?
Leave your review! I'll try to get back as soon as possible oh and next chapter you get a flashforward with…
The adams family..
Duh duh dun dun
Tell me please what you want to see happen or even what you think!
I'll try to be quicker on the next chapter!
Oh and I might be starting something new. I don't know how you all feel about it but Jamie and the "adults" I might be putting them in their own story. I am getting everything into place for it with these up coming chapters. It would be solely focused on them and their lives. Haley and Nathan and Lucas would all stay in this one but from time to time would be in that one. Their are so many characters its hard to them each chapter. This way this one would be for the younger ones and this then one for the older ones.
There are so many characters and storylines it gets confusing...
Jamie, Madison, Jenny, Logan, Nathan Taylor, Cole, and possibly Andrea and Chuck...
But its whatever you all want.
And if you do I need help with name titles!
