Hey y'all, I found this story on my laptop. I wrote it years ago and totally forgot about it. Maybe there are still some OTH fans out there, who would enjoy reading it!? The characters' relationships differ from the show!

Happy easter!

Tree Hill

"So, you got the whole house for yourself?" Rachel smiled at her best friend who nodded with an even bigger smile.

"Dad is…well you know where he is and mom thinks that I'll go to New York or Sydney to visit Nathan or Lucas while she's gone", Brooke whispered back while the teacher was explaining stuff they weren't really interested in.

"Oh, and your brothers? Do they know that you're alone at home?" Rachel then asked confused.

"Nah, they don't care but even better, they don't know it. Nathan thinks I'm with Lucas and Lucas thinks I'm with Nathan. They have their own family. Lucas is in Australia and writing all the time and Nathan in New York and basketball has started again. They had a huge fight and don't talk to each other since a month. And Haley and Peyton couldn't care less about me. So no one will ask for me." Brooke explained and jumped up happily when the bell ring.

Brooke and Rachel were best friends since ages. When they had met the first time in kindergarten, they started out as enemies. One day they wouldn't stop laughing and the next day they wouldn't stop fighting. The older they got, the more the fights had stopped. Both of them were in their freshman year now. Rachel was already fifteen whereas Brooke waited for her 14th birthday to come.

"So, how about we throw a birthday party at your place?" Rachel suggested.

"Duh! Of course we do." Brooke rolled her eyes and high fived.

New York

Haley Scott loved her life. Everything was perfect at the moment. She was 28 years old, a teacher and a musician and wife of a lovely basketball star. She smiled when she saw her eleven-year-old son having fun with his friends in the pool.

"Hey honey!" Nathan got inside the house and hugged her tightly.

"You're back early." Haley kissed him on the mouth.

"Yup, we skipped the training session." Nathan answered and got a coke out of the fridge.

"I was thinking." Haley tried to get through her husband again.

"Haley. Not again." Nathan rolled his eyes and went outside and sat down at the table and watched the kids having fun.

"Honey, you're brothers. Everyone deals differently with this situation. You two must stop being stubborn." Haley said sternly.

"Give me time, okay."

"How much more? It has already been a month. You call him today. I'm not kidding and you talk to him. End of story." Haley yelled a little. She was sick and tired of Nathan's stubbornness.

"Haley. He accused me of knowing that our dad would kill uncle Keith and now even my sister decides to spend the summer with him instead of with us. She always comes to us but Lucas dragged her into his crazy thinking." Nathan said madly.

"First of all, Lucas didn't really mean that you wanted Keith dead. He just…he was just mad and alone. Keith was like a father to him. And now he's just as stubborn as you are. Both of you said horrible things. And Brooke, well she's turning 14. She probably wants to have some fun in Australia and get crushes on surfer boys." Haley laughed when Nathan looked shocked at her.

Sydney

"Lucas! You come here now!" Peyton yelled loudly.

"Peyton. I won't okay. He has to apologize. Not me!" Lucas defended himself.

"You act like in high school again. You two aren't enemies any more, so get over it, call him and end this stupid fight." Peyton took the mobile phone and threw it onto his lap.

"Why did I marry you again?" Lucas asked and rolled his eyes but then dialed the number.

Meanwhile in Tree Hill

"We don't need to buy any alcohol. We have plenty of it here", Brooke opened a cupboard some days later and even Rachel who was used to seeing lots of bottles in the house, was astonished.

"Oh my god. This party will be awesome", Rachel said happily and then jumped onto the couch. Lately it felt like she was living in this house as well and enjoyed that she could spend so much time with her best friend.

From Sydney to New York

"Lucas! Finally!" Haley said into the phone when she heard her best friend.

"Hales, don't think that I really want to call. My bossy wife forces me", Lucas said and received a slap onto his back from Peyton.

"Great. Here he is", Haley gave Nathan the phone, hoping that these two stubborn adults would finally talk to each other again and act as a normal family.

In Australia Peyton shook her head and in the USA Haley rolled her eyes. Unbelievably, it took their husbands only ten minutes to start laughing again and forgetting the whole fight.
"Can I talk to my baby sis?" Nathan then asked. He really missed Brooke and sometimes felt guilty that they were so far away.

"What do you mean?" Lucas asked confused, "I thought she's with you?"

"What? No, she told me that she'll spend the summer with you in Australia." Nathan answered shocked.

"You've got to be kidding. She told Peyton that she'd want to celebrate with you guys again and would spend the summer in New York", Lucas jumped up and looked for his mobile phone. "I call her. Stay on the line."

Tree Hill

"It's your brother Lucas!" Rachel was looking through some magazines and gave the mobile to her friend. Brooke smiled happily and let herself fall on the bed.

"Hey big broody bro!" Brooke smiled into her mobile phone.

"Hey pretty girl! How are you?" Lucas asked nicely.

"Great. I'm having a good summer", Brooke smiled at Rachel and started coloring her nails not thinking that her plan could fail in any way.

"That's nice to hear. So you're having fun with Jamie?"

"Sure, he's my favorite nephew. How is Sawyer?" Brooke asked trying to avoid any more questions from her big brother.

"Well, she misses you too and is sad that she can't be at your birthday party. That's why I called. We thought about coming to New York on your birthday. Isn't that great?"

Brooke immediately looked shocked at Rachel and stopped coloring her nails. If Lucas and the rest came to New York she would be in big trouble.

"Are you still there?" Lucas smirked and could hear Nathan laugh a little from the other phone too.

"Um…you don't have to do that. Aren't you guys still fighting? I…I mean I wouldn't want you two fight at my birthday and…I just turn 14, not a big number, you know."

"Don't worry. We won't fight. I promise. Oh, Peyton is calling. I have to hang up. See you tomorrow then, baby sis. I love you", Lucas said happily, hung up and then talked to Nathan again.

"I can't believe that she did that!" Nathan yelled into the phone. "She has to get her butt to New York immediately."

So, Brooke is in trouble! How will she get out of it. Be aware: drama is following!

Did you like it so far?
