Always (Nathan Scott Fan Fiction) [2]

Unopened Letter to the World

"Thank you! You guys were amazing tonight! Now I would like to welcome Chris Keller!" Claudia said as she waved the fans in the crowd.

"Thank you beautiful." Chris smirked as he walked onto the stage, Claudia turned around and glared at her.

"Calm down you flirt." Claudia replied before she hugged her mum.

"Claudia, you were amazing sweetie." Josie squealed and Claudia pulled away.

"Has anyone called?" Claudia asked, desperately hoping it was Nathan. 

"The school." Josie replied and Claudia raised an eyebrow.

"The school?" She asked for confirmation. Josie nodded her head, 'Did something happen to Nathan, is he okay?' Claudia kept on asking herself in her head. She was getting worried.

"They have asked you to take part in a time capsule and send it back to them. Are you up for that?" Josie asked and Claudia took a sigh of relief.

"Uh yeah sure. Should I do it now?" Claudia asked and Josie looked around.

"Here." She said holding up a camera. "Take this camera and go into your dressing room." Josie explained and Claudia took the camera.

"What do I say?" Claudia asked and Josie nodded her head.

"The truth." Josie replied and Claudia smiled to herself.

"So this is my twenty-fifth time trying to get this perfect. Let's hope I can get it right. My name is Claudia Scott." Claudia said in a robotic voice, she took a deep breath. "Now you may be looking around going Scott? I thought it was Stone. No it is Scott? And I hope when I watching this is whatever year, it will be Scott." Claudia explained before she smiled. "I hope I am standing beside Nathan with our children and grandchildren. You also may be confused by this background, I am not in school. Yes I am on tour right now, I hope when I am watching this I am retired singer. I left the one person I love the most in this world- Nathan." Claudia then went onto say as she played with her wedding ring. "I do regret it everyday and I miss him every minute of everyday. God I love you Nathan. Because I was so stupid leaving you, I am going to dedicate this to you. Nathan Royal Scott, you are the light of my life. It is unreal the feelings that I feel towards you. I am so so sorry I left to go on this tour. I just hope that this is not over when I get back." Claudia rambled with the tears rolling down her face. "God, I am a mess and I might have to go on for an encore. Great!" She laughed to herself before she took a deep breath. "Marriage is the best thing that ever happened to me and I love you Nathan Scott. Always and Forever. So that is everything for me. Just ignore the hair, it will be blonde the next time you see me." She replied and then she laughed to herself.  "Also, this is quite awkward if when we are watching this in whatever year and Nathan is married to someone else. But I sure as hell don't regret it. Okay so bye. I think I have spoke for too long." Claudia laughed as she leant over to switch of the camera, then she realised Lucas. "Wait Lucas! Oh my I think I just won the worst friend award." Claudia laughed as she sat back down. "Lucas, I miss you so much and love you. I promise when I get back it will be you, Haley and I against the world. Haley I miss you too and love you." She explained playing with a necklace that Lucas gave her years ago. "Mwah!" She said blowing a kiss before she ended the video.

Lucas was sat in the converted supply closet, speaking to the camera.

"My best friend, Claudia, left town recently. And it's... been hard. You know,... until this year, it's-it's always been us and Haley against the world." Lucas explained smiling fondly. "We pretty much grew up together and... now they are just gone. You know, I... I understand the leaving part. Trust me,... " Lucas said laughing sardonically. "I just wish she woulda called me; before she left. I wish... I coulda talked to her about it.  I mean, not to change her mind... or to tell her what to do, but,... just to say," Lucas said as he smiled and shook his head, "I love you... and I miss you." Lucas said and then all emotion if wiped from his face. "Just to say goodbye." He said and then he stared at the camera.
