Hey guys, I just wanted to tell you a few things are different from the original story. Some I'll tell you now, some you'll read on the way. Brooke is 24 years old. Haley is 26, so is Peyton. Nathan and Lucas are both 28. Keith's alive and is married to Karen, he's the uncle of Nate and Lucas just like in the show. We also have Lily, Keith and Karens daughter and Lucas's half sister, but she won't be mentioned much. Dan is married to Deb. Nate and Lucas are half brothers just like in the show. That was it for now! Hope you like it!
"She should be here any minute now.", Haley was pacing around her living room while waiting for her husband and best friend to come home. A little blonde boy came running down the stairs to the kitchen counter, he was about to grab a cookie when his mother called him. "James Lucas Scott what have I told you about cookies before dinner?" Jamie looked up at his mother and sighed "That the cookie monster will sleep under my bed..." "And do you want a monster under your bed?" his mother asked. Jamie put a finger on his chin and pondered, "Guess I'll have to sleep with you tonight mommy!". Jamie took a cookie and ran to his room. "JAMES LUCA-... JAMIE!", Haley yelled after him.
The blonde got distracted when the door opened and a petite brunette came walking in wearing a black pencil skirt and a white blouse, behind her was a tall handsome brunette carrying a bag and three trolleys. Seeing her made Haleys face lit up. Let's just say her dimpled smile had that effect on everyone. "Tigger!" "Tutor mom!" Both girls exchanged a long hug. "Well hello to you too Haley..." Nathan put the bag down and closed the door. Haley rolled her eyes at Nathan and looked at her friend. "It's been too long.." said Brooke while taking a seat at the bar in the kitchen. "Yes it has.. you were too busy being the owner of a famous clothing brand." said Haley. Nathan joined the women in the kitchen and Haley took a few drinks out of the fridge. "Hales.. she's THE B. Davis.. do you think she has time for small people like us?" said Nathan acting offended. Brooke rolled her eyes, "You're one to talk Mr. NBA... besides I'm only the face of the company.. mother owns it..". "Mother?Like in Bitchtoria?" asked Haley. "Yeah well it's a long story.. let's save it for another time.." sighed Brooke. "Anyway where's my favourite boy?" "Who Lucas?" Brooke gave Nathan a punch in the gut and Haley laughed. "Still feisty I see..." uttered Nathan. Haley called for her son, "Jamie! Guess who's here!". After a few seconds Jamie came running down the stairs, "Aunt Brooke!". He ran over to Brooke and gave her a tight hug. Brooke hugged back and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Hey tutor son, missed me?" "Yes!" Jamie looked at Brookes luggage, "Did you bring me a gift?" "Jamie!" Haley gave her son a look. Brooke laughed "Sorry Jamie I didn't get the time to buy you something... but I promise I'll take you shopping and you can pick as many toys as you like." Jamie jumped, "Yay! Can we get some chocolate ice cream too?" Brooke laughed again "Ofcourse, anything for my favourite boy!".
Haley and Nathan smiled, although Brooke wasn't around when Jamie entered the world he was still very fond of her. Brooke was born in Tree Hill, she attended Tree Hill High till the age of 15, she was a sophomore and Haley was a junior. Brooke was never a great student, she had more of an eye for fashion than anything else, that is how she met Haley who tutored her and it clicked instantly. Brooke looked up to Haley, she had it all: loving parents, great grades, a hot boyfriend... in other words everything that Brooke lacked. During her sophomore year Brooke moved to New York with her parents, she didn't want to but she didn't have much of a choice either. Haley had visited Brooke in New York a couple of times but didn't get the chance for over a year. They still held contact over skype but didn't visit in person.
Brooke looked at Jamie and saw a certain someone in him. Haley noticed the serious change on Brookes face and decided to start a new topic, "So how long are you staying?" Brooke snapped back to reality "Huh?" "I asked how long you were staying." Haley looked puzzled at Brooke. "Geez you want me gone already?" Nathan chuckled "Hales you didn't have to make it that obvious." Haley looked shocked "No.. NO! That's not what I meant you can stay forever or all I care..." "Good cause I'm moving here actually..." Haley clapped in her hands and gave Brooke a bright smile. "REALLY?!" shouted Haley. "That explains the luggage.." added Nathan also smiling. "Yeah well.." Brooke shrugged "mother wanted to multiply the COB shops so I thought why not in Tree Hill? She was against it at first because..." Brooke mimicked a witchy voice "Tree Hill is small and poor who will buy designer clothes there!" Haley, Nathan and Jamie laughed. Brooke continued, "But then I reminded her that I grew up here.. and we were fine with money!" "More than fine..." added Haley. "And.." Brooke continued "COB isn't just made for celebrities or rich people, anyone can buy clothes there even you Tutor Mom!" "Geee... thanks Brooke!" Haley gave Brooke a look and Brooke bit her tongue. Nathan laughed, "So did you find a place for your shop.. and a place to stay?". Brooke nodded, "My assistant Millie came here before me and sent me some pics.. I really liked one place for the shop, it's near Karens Café. As for the appartment, I'm going to look at one tomorrow.". Haley and Nathan looked at each other. "Don't you think it will be weird? If you're near Karens Café you're gonna see a lot of people you don't like.", said Haley. Brooke shrugged, "It's Tree Hill... I'm gonna see a lot of him anyway.. and to be honest I'm over it. I was 15 and stupid.". "Did he try to contact you all when you were in New York?" asked Nathan. "Not in the beginning... but when his book came out he sent me a copy. Didn't read it. Didn't want to. He AND his comet can go fu-" Nathan pulled Jamie with him, "TIME TO GO PLAY BALL BUDDY!".
Haley gave Brooke a sympathetic smile, "You know he's coming over for dinner in a few right?" Brooke took a big gulp out of her drink, "Figured. He's Nate's brother after all." Haley grabbed Brooke's hand, "His wife's coming too." Brooke looked up at Haley, "His wife? Let me guess... the boney blonde who hated me in High School?". Haley nodded, "They married a year ago... she's changed Brooke she's actually quite nice and he's changed a lot too.." Brooke smiled, "Yeah well so am I and you don't have to give me the Bambi look Haley. I'm fine.. it was 9 years ago." "Whatever you say Tigger." said Haley rubbing Brooke's arm. "I'm more focused on the company than anything else anyways.." shrugged Brooke. "Anyhow Tutor Mom, You have to show me to my room remember?"
- The other Scott's residence:
A handsome blonde was sitting at his desk while his beautiful, also blonde, wife was looking at her reflection in the mirror. "Do you think this dress suits me?" asked Peyton. "Yes." answered Lucas without looking at his wife. "Luke you didn't even take a look." said Peyton whilst turning around. "Could you please take a break from writing and look at me. You also have to get ready, it's almost time to leave." Lucas ignored her demand and continued writing. "I don't have to turn around, you're wearing something black like always and look beautiful like always." said Lucas. Peyton rolled her eyes and walked over to him, once there she shut his laptop. Lucas finally looked at her, "See. Beautiful." Peyton rolled her eyes and walked over tot heir closet. "You basically called me predictable." Lucas walked over to Peyton and hugged her from behind, giving her a quick kiss on her shoulder, "You're my wife, I'll always tell you you're beautiful. And you're predictable for me because I've loved you for 10 years… you made the bridesmaids wear a BLACK leather dress on our wedding day." Peyton laughed, she turned around and gave Lucas a long kiss with her arms around his neck. "I love you Lucas Scott." Lucas smiled, "I love you too Peyton Sawyer Scott." Suddenly Peyton pushed Lucas away, "You really have to get ready though, we have to leave in 10 minutes!" Lucas sighed. "It's just a dinner at my brothers house why do we have to look fancy?" "They didn't give us a dress code Luke… but I want it to be special when we tell them!" Peyton got a big grin on her face as did Lucas.
End.
