Brooke Davis is the biggest fashion designer in the country. She owns four huge houses and is absolutely stunning. She has the life that every girl dreams. And every boy wants to steal her heart. But of course, her heart was already taken by a boy long ago. Brooke Davis hasn't been back to where she grew up in 10 years, time just flew by. She hasn't talked to anyone from home either…even her best friend.
"Ms. Davis." Emily walked into Brooke's office, handing her a stack of papers "You have an appointment with Sarah Ryan to talk about her wedding, it's supposed to be huge, this could be a lot of money."
"Thanks." Brooke said politely.
"The limo will be outside in 30 minutes." Emily told her before walking out.
One thing Brooke missed was to be able to get in her little car and drive wherever she wants, whenever she wants. Or to be able to go grocery shopping without being hoarded by a paparazzi.
"Hey Brooke." Another familiar voice said.
"Hey Julie." Brooke said without looking up.
"Busy day?" Julie asked
"You have no idea." Brooke answered.
Brooke and Julie have been best friends since college. Julie has been living at Brooke's house for 2 years now.
"You got a phone call. Someone from North Carolina wanted to talk to you." Julie said, sitting on Brooke's desk and picking up a stack of designs.
"Who was it?" Brooke asked, not interested in the designs anymore.
"Scott….Haley, I think." Julie said uninterested.
"Haley called?!" Brooke asked "What about?"
"She didn't say. She just said to call, it was important." Julie told Brooke.
Brooke took out her cell phone and dialed Haley's number, worried to hear a voice she hasn't heard in 10 years.
"Hello?" the voice on the other line answered
"Tutorgirl." Brooke smiled on the other end.
"Brooke!" Haley said "Thank god you called!"
"Is everything okay?" Brooke asked, knowing there must be something wrong.
"It's Nathan, Brooke. He's in a coma. I thought you should know." Haley told her.
"Oh Hales." Brooke said "I'm so sorry."
"He's been in a coma for a few weeks now." Haley informed her.
Brooke took a deep breath "How's James, and everyone?"
"Jimmy's good." Haley told her "Ryan is too."
"You had another boy?" Brooke asked.
"Yea, he's 4."
"Oh Haley….I'm so sorry I didn't keep in touch." Brooke said sincerely.
"Yea, me too." Haley said quickly "Listen, I have to go. Call again sometime." She said before hanging up.
Brooke could tell that Haley was upset at her. Who wouldn't be? She left without saying goodbye and hasn't called in 10 years.
"Ms. Davis." Emily popped her head into the office "The limo's here."
"Coming." Brooke announced. Walking with Julie out to the limo "I'll be home later." She told Julie, before shutting the door.
Brooke knocked on the door of Sarah Ryan's house, and the door opened "Ms. Davis, come in." she said.
"Thanks." Brooke said politely, following Sarah into the sitting room.
"Can I get you anything?" Sarah asked.
"I'm fine, thank you." Brooke told her.
"Well I can't thank you enough for designing the dresses for the wedding." Sarah said with a smile to Brooke "My fiancé should be home soon. I'm surprising him, he doesn't know who the designer is going to be. His brother is in the hospital so he is on his way home now. He should be here any minute."
"Should we wait for him before we get started?" Brooke asked.
"If you don't mind." Sarah answered, pulling her blonde hair up in a ponytail.
Brooke heard the front door open "I know Haley, I just have a few meetings and I'll be back…I promise. Tell Jimmy and Ryan I love them."
Brooke couldn't breathe for a second, this was just her luck.
"Come meet the designer!" Sarah said to her fiancé, taking his hand.
Brooke still didn't turn around to look at him.
"This is…" Sarah started.
"Brooke." Lucas said quickly as Brooke finally stood up to look at him.
"You know Brooke Davis?" Sarah asked happily.
"Sarah, sweetheart, why don't you go get Ms. Davis a drink?" Lucas suggested.
Sarah shrugged and walked towards the kitchen.
"Lucas…you look….great" Brooke told him, looking at the ground.
"You do to Brooke."
"So, you just got back from Tree Hill?" she asked
"Yea, Nathan's---."
"I know, I just talked to Haley." Brooke said.
"Yea, she told me." Lucas told her.
"Listen Luke…about when I left…" Brooke started to apologize.
"It was 10 years ago Brooke."
