CHAPTER 1:
Peyton Sawyer, Haley James, and Brooke Davis all grew up together in a little town called Tree Hill. They have been best friends ever since they were 6. Peyton Sawyer was an only child and her mother died in a car accident when she was 8. Her father was never home, and she had no other family so the only people Peyton could turn to were her two best friends, Haley James, and Brooke Davis.
Brooke Davis was also an only child, but she had a mum and a dad, the only problem was, she wasn't a boy, her father wanted a boy not a girl, so he hated her for that. Her mother on the other hand didn't want any children so she hated Brooke for what she did to her body. This resulted in Brooke finding solace in her two best friends.
Now Haley is the youngest of three sisters, so her house was always busy, her parents have been happy and in love all their lives, they may be crazy but they have always been in love and that's what Haley has always wanted. There was only one reason as to why Haley was never home growing up, and always with her best friends, and that is because there are too many people at her house and not enough people in either Peyton's or Brookes houses, so at a very young age they decided to stay at Peyton's house.
The girls all grew up together and they were inseparable and they were all teenagers Brooke leading the pack. They all had different personalities that sometimes clashed, but it didn't matter because they were sisters and that was that. Peyton loves 'moody' music she loves to draw and any kind of art as a release and a way to connect herself to her mother. It is also her way of dealing with issues and remembering monumental moments in her life.
Peyton Sawyer is now a Tree Hill Highs Art Teacher.
Haley is a tutor girl valedictorian and Musician who toured with Sheryl Crow whilst she was still in high School and now she is engaged to Charlotte Bobcat superstar Nathan Scott and she is an English Teacher at Tree Hill High.
Brooke Davis grew up as a Party girl and a fashion guru. She however left Peyton and Haley to go to New York to conquer the Fashion world, and now she is the owner of a multibillion dollar fashion house Clothes over bros. She comes to Tree Hill to visit her girls. She also has a boyfriend Julian who is a movie producer living with her in New York.
Nathan Scott has a messed up life. His mother died when he was 10 and his father is an overbearing jerk. He finally had enough when he was 16 and emancipated himself from his father. Nathan also has a half brother Lucas, see his father the jerk, got Lucas's mum pregnant before they both graduated high school, he also abandoned her and left for college. Where he met Deb Nathans mother and got her pregnant just after three short months. Dan married Deb, and they had Nathan 9 months later. Just to be an even bigger Jerk Dan moved his new Family back to his home town, where Karen his ex and the son he abandoned was living. Karen fell in love with Keith Dan's older brother, and he made sure that Lucas and Nathan grew up together as the brothers they should be. It was no surprise that when Nathan emancipated himself from his father that he went to live with his brother and uncle, and aunt (that sounds really weird, but that is the Scott Family). After graduating high School Nathan went to Duke and studied business whilst also playing Basketball for the Duke Blue Devils. He is now the shooting guard for the Charlotte Bobcats.
Lucas Scott was the unwanted child by his father, but he did get the better end of the whole situation. He got a loving father, and an amazing mother. Even though Keith was not his biological father, he was in every other way and that's what was so special about Keith. He didn't have to be the man he was, he just was like that. So when Dan Killed Keith in cold blood because of jealousy it broke everyone's hearts, especially Lucas, Nathan, Karen, and his baby girl who was 6 month old when he died.
Because of this Lucas stayed close to home and went to a local college in Charleston.
This is where the story begins...
Its 3.15pm on a Thursday afternoon, and Peyton is standing in the door of Haley's English classroom watching her work. "So foxy you ready for our big week end" "as a matter of fact I am, but I don't understand why we have to play hooky tomorrow and leave at the crack of dawn" "don't ask me, you know the Brookie Monster organized every aspect of our trip to Vegas." "Should we be scared" Haley asks with a mock fright "I hope not, you ready to leave; remember, I'm staying with you tonight so Nate can drop us at the airport." "Ok girly, let's go home".
They arrived at Haley and Nathans house, and spent the night watching movies with Pizza and a bottle of wine. They stayed up late which was a very bad idea because at 5am the next day, one Brooke Davis was standing outside their house ringing the annoying doorbell nonstop until a groggy half asleep and pissed Nathan opens the door. "took your time Nate" Brooke says as she hands him a coffee, "what are you doing here Brooke, I thought you were meeting them at the airport" "I was, but I got an earlier flight so I figured we could all go together and besides I would never pass up an opportunity to wake up P Sawyer, it's always so much fun watching her death glares." Brooke jokes as she steps into the house "I'm glad you're waking her and I'm not."
Brooke makes her way up the stairs and she can hear Haley singing in the shower, something she has done since she was 6 but will always deny it. Anyway, she leaves a coffee for Haley in her room and picks out something for her to wear before she moves on to wake Peyton. Brooke finally makes her way down the corridor and bangs on the room Peyton's staying in "come on P Sawyer, it's time you get your scrawny ass up," Brooke can hear a muffled "go away" coming from the other side of the door, so she opens the door, puts the coffee on the dresser and she jumps on top of Peyton who automatically Screams at the unexpected contact "good morning goldilocks, now get your but out of bed, take a shower because you smell like wine, and get dressed so we can have a fantastic weekend and get you a sexy man." With that, Brooke pulls Peyton up from bed and pushes her into the bathroom "Brooke it's really good to see you, but right now I hate you" "I love you too Blondie." Brooke pulls an outfit out for Peyton and retreats back to check on Haley.
It takes them 40 minutes but they finally leave the house all three girls, mind you two of them are still half asleep and glaring daggers at the chirpy brunette. They arrive at the airport and through check in half an hour before the plain takes off and they lose Peyton on their way to the gate, "Haley" Brooke asks concerned when she notices Peyton is missing "where's Peyton?" "She went to get coffee, Peyton says as she comes up behind the girls with three very large coffees in her hands.
"So what's the Plan for the trip?" Peyton asks whilst taking a sip of her coffee. "we arrive and I say we spend the rest of the day by the pool with some awesome cocktails, and then we will have a nice dinner and we head to a strip club tonight" Brooke whispers the last part hoping Haley doesn't catch on "What NO Brooke, we're not going to a strip club," "yes we are Haley come on it's your bachelorette Party we have to go to a strip club, and I promise tomorrow night we're just going to a normal club" Brooke whines. Peyton looks at the pleading faces on Brooke and Peyton's faces before she reluctantly agrees "fine- just don't tell Nathan, he'll get jealous." "Yes" Peyton and Brooke say together.
They fly first class, it's all expenses paid by Brooke, and the flight is nice and relaxing and comfortable, with all three girls sleeping peacefully for the entire trip. When they arrive to Vegas, they have a limo waiting for them, and crack open the Champaign for their ride to their 5 star hotel where they get to stay in the penthouse suit. After they check in they make their way up to the top floor of the hotel, in their private elevator that only their Key can access. "Brooke this is all too much, you really didn't have to do this" Haley says whilst they are in the elevator together with tears in her eyes "Haley, wait until you see the room, and besides, you're getting married, you need to go out in style" Brooke says as she nudges Haley's shoulders.
The lift takes them up to their room, and as the doors open Brooke says "ladies, welcome to the best, most unforgettable weekend of your life where Haley will say goodbye to single life, Peyton will find a man for a night, and I will have a fabulous time with my two best friends."
The girls walk into their hotel room, "alright ladies, let's get changed and hit the sun Peyton says with a smile on her face." They change into their bikinis and grab their lotion and head down to the pool. The Pool is huge, the size of an Olympic swimming pool, and it is packed, however there is a private section with three chairs and a cabana boy waiting for them. "Ok girls, let's have some fun" Haley says, they lay out on their chairs, and their drinks arrive Haley says "here's to an amazing weekend with my two best friends" Brooke adds in "here's to Haley's last weekend as a single girl, and Peyton finally finding a boy even if it's only for one night" "and here's to us NOT being teaches this weekend" Peyton adds in as the three girls clink their glasses together and take a drink.
Peyton's POV
"Ok ladies"
Brooke says a little tipsily if that's even a word, I don't know how we managed it, but we have drunken an awful lot in around an hour, even Haley is falling asleep on the lounge next to me. See the funny thing is, Brooke gets really loud and loud when she is drunk, I lose my Balance, but I suppose I can handle my alcohol pretty well- it was probably because of my jack ass of an ex, who got me to hold my alcohol really well. I'll explain that story later.
Anyway when Haley gets drunk, she gets really sleepy.
"there is a reason we started Drinking so much so early, and that is not only because Haley James is getting married, but also because I your beautiful Best friend Brooke Davis has organised a spa visit including a complete waxing session that's where the booze comes in, to numb the pain, and then after we go through hell to be hair free and beautiful we will get massages, mani's, pedi's, and a facial. So ladies thank our cabana boy, and move your buts so we don't miss our appointment."
Wow this should be painful; I have a suspicion that she included a Brazilian wax into the combination which is going to hurt like hell, especially because that area has not been tended to for almost 8 months. We can thank my jerk of an ex Aiden for that.
"Peyton" Haley says in between a yawn," Brookes making us get a Brazilian isn't she" "unfortunately" I start to say when Brook cuts me off.
"It's unfortunate that you both think I will be seen with friends who have a Chewbacca. Besides Hales, you're getting married in 3 months, so at least if you get it done now, it won't hurt as much when you go before your wedding." Brooke says whilst linking her arms to Haley's and mine and leading the way to the Spa.
This is a completely different spa to the ones they usually go to in Tree Hill, they change into their robes, which are normally long and fluffy, but are Short and silky in Vegas. "Ladies are you ready?" one of the beautician asks, I then grab a flute of Champaign from the table out of the locker room, and skull it before following the beautician out the door to the waxing room.
After 30 painful minutes I come out of the waxing room hair free, but walking with my legs separated as far as I could and walk at the same time. I come to the waiting room to see Brookes Smiling face and a flute of Champaign "took you long enough, gosh Peyt, you should never let it grow like that again." Brooke exclaims as she takes a sip of her Champaign. "The alcohol didn't numb the pain" Peyton says with a pout, then sits next to a laughing Brooke, "oh you poor baby." "I wonder how Hale's is holding up; she has been in there for a while" Peyton says turning, to look at Brooke, they then here a curtain slide open, and one Haley James walks out "I seriously HATE You right now Brooke Davis." "You'll always love me Hales, and so will Nate, after he sees you." Brooke says in between laughter at the look on Haley's face, and I can't help but join in, until Haley walks over and takes the Champaign out of my hand, and skulls it.
We all then proceed to get massages and then we are placed in Pedicure chairs, where we have a facial, a manicure and a pedicure. No matter where we are when we have this session, it is always in complete silence. It's our own reflective and relaxing time. I figured it's about time to take you through my screwed up relationship with Aiden my ex. He was a GP (general practitioner) aka a normal everyday doctor. I thought I hit the jackpot with this guy, I met him when I first came back home, see I was moving into my new house and I tripped over a box and sprained my wrist. He was the doctor that I went too, we hit it off straight away, and he took me to lunch that day. He would then continuously ask me out until we were dating. It was like a whirl wind romance, he was there for me when no one else was and I felt like I owed it to him to stay in the relationship, it was comfortable but that was about it. There was no spark or passion, sure I loved him but I was never really in love him. We were together for a year and a half, when the whole relationship came crashing down. I can recall the day like it was yesterday. I got off class early and I decided to go and visit Aiden at work, I had cookies that I baked the night before; I packed them up and took them to his surgery. I entered the waiting room, and it was empty, which was really weird for 2pm on a weekday, and Rachael his receptionist, a girl I was friends with in high school, was not at her desk. I approached the closed doors of his office and I heard a scream. I immediately knew what that sound was, but for some reason I wanted to confirm my suspicions. I twisted the handle to the door, he was smart, he forgot to lock the door, (hear my sarcasm). So I twisted the handle and open the door to see my boyfriend, and my ex friend/ his receptionist on his exam bed with their pants down. That was the end of that relationship. He broke my heart, and not just because my boyfriend was screwing around with his receptionist for god knows how long, but because I trusted him so much, I just lost faith after that, and haven't really gone out with a guy since then.
I was broken out of my thoughts by the beautician tapping my arm, "you're all done Peyton" "Thank you so much" I say as I get up from my chair feeling all relaxed. I catch up to Brooke and Haley who are getting dressed back to their clothes, "ok guys, I need to find a man this weekend" "I know" Brooke says, "How long have I been telling you that." Haley and Brooke let out a laugh at my angry glare and we start walking back towards the elevator to our room. "Well goldilocks, you're going to have to wait until tomorrow night before you can find a man, because tonight we will be seeing some sexy men strip." Brooke and I let out a squeal at this, and Haley surprising us all joins in. I think it has something to do with all the alcohol she has had today.
After we get back to our room we all collapse onto the couch "ok ladies" I say "we need to shower and beautify ourselves for dinner, the car will be here in an hour and a half to pick us up, so let's get moving."
Haley and I jumped into the Shower while Brooke pulled out what she wants us to where, because whenever we go out with Brooke she always has final say. Now it's just easier to let her choose before we start dressing.
I get out of the shower and put the fitted plum coloured dress on, I then curl my hair with a curling wand, before I move onto Haley's, who is wearing a short, fitted white dress. Brooke who is wearing a backless red dress (her signature colour) is applying Haley's make up. It takes us around 40 minutes to finish getting dressed before we head down to the black hummer. As the maid of honour, it was my job to organise the strip club and the prior dinner and transportation, so tonight, is all on me.
As per Haley's request, we all take photos in front of the hummer, including a group shot taken by our driver. We jump into the back of the car, and the music is pumping. Haley pops another bottle of Champaign and pours glasses all around, and Haley makes a toast "here's to a weekend we won't forget and my two amazing best friends" we all clink our glasses together and Brooke adds in, "even if we do forget it Haley has taken a shit load of photos so we can remember."
We go to a steak house for dinner; I figured a little red meat would do wonders to soak up all the excess alcohol we will be drinking. So after a nice dinner, we get back into the hummer and head down the strip to our intended strip club. Once we arrive through the doors, the show hasn't started yet, but you can see there are around ten other bachelorette parties going on. After getting a round of shots and martinis from the bar, we find our reserved table and begin the night. Five shots, and a martini later the lights start to flash and the men enter the stage and put on their very sexy show. Haley is trying to cover her eyes as the clothes start flying, until Brooke grabs her hands behind her back, and I feed her another shot.
The boys on stage are down to their underwear and they call all the brides to be to come up on stage to introduce themselves and where they are from. Haley gets on stage after Brooke and I push her up. About 4 brides have introduced themselves when Haley gets up there, and she says, "Hi, I'm Haley James, and I am from Tree Hill, and I am marrying Nathan Scott" every one cheers at hearing that Haley is marrying the Bobcats point guard, Brooke and I being the loudest. Two more brides go through, and I say to Brooke "I'm going to go to the bathroom before anything interesting happens" I turn to walk away and I take about three steps, and stop dead on my tracks as I hear a very familiar voice "hi my name is Rachael Gatina, I am from Charlotte, and I am marrying Aiden Richardson" I slowly turn around, and Brook lets out a surprised gasp, and I stare at Rachael standing up there looking so smug. Out of the corner of my eye I see a pissed off Haley grab Rachael's arm and whisper something into her ear, she then turns to look at me with shock written all over her face. I plant a fake smile on my face and raise my hand to give that slut a wave.
"Brooke I need another drink" I then say with tears stinging my eyes "I'm already on it Brooke says, as she hands me a scotch which I down like a shot. "What the hell was that?" Haley asks when she finally joins us, "I have no firkin clue, what did you say to her any way?" I then ask Haley, who reples with "oh hi Rachael, you remember your old friend, the one you screwed over, Peyton; yeah well she's here, look over there, now wave" Haley says as she was mimicking what she did earlier on stage.
"ok girlies" Haley says, "I'm ready to head back now" we all grab our bags and head out towards the front, as we go past the bar, I stop "hey guys, I'll meet you out the front," they nod and leave me alone, I approach the bar and purchase a bottle of Champaign and send it over to Rachael's table. I then turn around, and walk out the front to find Haley and Brooke waiting in the Hummer, "Everything ok?" Haley asks, and Brooke gives me a worried glance, "everything's perfect, I sent Rachael a bottle of Champaign, a congratulation.
