Jackson Scott

> "*Being in my brother's shadow my entire life showed me that I could accept what people thought of me or break the mold to become my own man. I believe the latter perfectly depicts how I lived my life, and the journey I went through to marry you Brooke, it's like nothing I've done before. You changed me forever. You're not just my best friend, the mother of my children, and my soulmate, but now I get to call you my wife. I love you forever and always pretty girl.*"

Tom Maden

**Jackson Scott** is a graduate of Tree Hill High School having gone there since his freshman year. Growing up, Jackson, being seen as the black sheep in his family, was always in the shadow of his older brother Jamie. He was seen as inferior when it came to academics and sports so he stopped trying to be the best and put in no effort to succeed. This changed however when he started gaining friends from The Outsiders. His war against the Ravens and his brother came to halt when The Bling Ring arrived, and they decided to put their differences aside to get rid of the common threat. With his interest in Brooke increasing, he made it his mission to make sure nothing happened to her and the rest is history.

Their relationship continued to grow after the disbandment of The Bling Ring which also helped consummate their relationship. It is revealed that Brooke was pregnant, but being a father in his teens freaked him out to the point to that he completely shut down and became distance to his friends and family. Ironically, it's Jamie that eventually gets through to him and tells him to be happy that he's learned how to be a great father. Everything goes smoothly and Brooke gives birth to a son, Christopher James Scott, and a daughter, Natalie Katherine Scott, with the Scott and Keller family in the room.

After the birth of his children, he began holding himself to a higher standard as all of his actions would effect them and their lives if he messed up. He would start training to become a professional basketball and used his father's connections to get a tryout with the Charlotte Bobcats. A fight with Will led to injured hand which he kept hidden during the tryout and effectively broke his hand.

## Character History

In Pilot, he is shown walking into the reunion only to be bumped by Chuck and Andre, telling him that Jamie's shadow better watch his back. He brushes off the comment and looks to see Sarah staring at him, implying that she saw everything. He asks her not to say anything or she'll regret it. She agrees but asks why he's trying to fight them by himself, and he tells her that Jamie's friends are bothered by him because he can affect their position in the hierarchy in school. He also says his brother is too much of a pussy to defend him so he goes along with it. Sarah is surprised by this but understands and lets him know that she'll try to calm down the fighting when school starts since they're family. He thanks her and walks towards the gym. Walking into the gym as everyone else leaves, he sees Chuck and Jamie start talking and he makes eye contact with his brother briefly.

In Checkmate, he is first shown taking Jamie's keys to his Porsche, tells Nathan and Haley that if Jamie asks he has amnesia and leaves out the front door with a smile on his face.
