Through My Eyes
Chapter 36
Are you friend, or should I say a foe?
Haley
"Let's get back out there judge." Haley says smiling as she quickly fixed her hair looked in the mirror quickly to make sure she had fixed her clothes properly.
"Alright relax." "I thought you were supposed to be calming down." He said kissing her again."
"I will once I leave Tree Hill." "This town is cursed." Haley said. "As she quickly walked back out." And sat down.
As the judge slowly walked out waiting as people filed in. Sitting in his chair. "alright now we will hear any comments from the people closest to the defendants.
As Brooke stood up and took a breath as she started to speak.
"I've known Haley for years now." "We've become the best of friends and I don't know where I would be without her." "I have watched as falling in love with Nathan and having Debra has changed her." "And I know what she is capable of given the right support and second chance." I love you Hales." She said smiling. "Honestly take a good luck at that family tree and see just how far back the secrets lies and dysfunction go." Thank you. She said as she sat down.
On Nathan's side Karen stood up. Took a breath as she looked around the room.
"I know firsthand how flawed and how damaging the lies have been over the years. But I also know that Nathan is a good man and would lay his life down for that girl just like I would for my son and for Nathan. Debra deserves to know what it means to have love. Loyalty and respect for yourself and others. I will do everything I can to make sure Debra never has to question who her family is and why she was brought into our lives. Karen says wiping her eyes as she sits down.
"Mr. Scott and Mrs. Scott. I have seen couples come in here to battle it out forgetting about the children. Between the both of you. You seem like good people. So know that this decision isn't personal but what I feel is right for Debra. He says.
Taking a breath. He looks to both of them. The reads his verdict.
"I am granting full physical custody of Debra Brooke Scott." "Too."
"Wait!" Brooke says as she stands up.
"Ms. Davis What's the matter.?" He asks
While Brooke doesn't speak instead she opens her purse takes out her phone. And presses play.
As the recording tells all
They are all going to be sitting there looking at me and judging me." "I cannot for the life of me understand what I saw in any of them." "Damn Derrick he is so weak crumbing with fear over Dan Scott." "And the hell does Dan think he is anyway.?" "I should've just taken off with Debra when I had the chance." "Leaving Nathan to wonder what happened to his precious baby." Haley says laughing. "What none of them realize is I'm the best damn actress they've ever seen." "I fooled everyone." "I'm not going to let them win." "If I'm going down I'm taking every single one of them down with me." Haley said as tied her hair in ponytail. Put on some makeup and put back on her wedding ring. "What a joke you are. Right along with this marriage." "Who needs love and in terms of the kid you want her so bad. You can have her." This whole mother thing has done nothing but slow me down. Good riddance Tree Hill. Haley's voice fades out as she closes the door behind her.
"You bitch!" Haley says. As she attempts to charge for Brooke but is stopped by security and put in hand cuffs.
"I couldn't do it." "My mother made everyone else's feelings matter before me." "My heart breaks for that little girl. She deserves a mother. Instead she got stuck with you." Brooke said as she walked out of the courtroom.
"She's just jealous the only reason she had kids is because then she would never have to deal with how pathetic her life really is." Haley starts to say." "I should have killed him when I had the chance!" Haley yells. "Brooke." "Know that without me you would have just been another nameless slut."
"I just wanted you to die." She said as she fell to the floor. As the words and voices yell above. As she whispers out "I'm pregnant." Before losing consciousness.
