Chapter 1
"Come on, pretty girl" Lucas Scott yelled from the front seat of the Jeep they rented for the road trip.
It was the day after their college graduation and Lucas and his longtime girlfriend Brooke Davis decided to kick off the rest of their lives with a cross-country road trip.
Currently they were someplace in Arkansas parked outside of a gas station while Brooke used the restroom for the fourth time in the last two hours. What's going on with her? Lucas thought bobbing his blond head along to the beat of the music that their best friend Peyton downloaded onto a mix-tape for the long car trip.
Brooke stood in the gross, smelly gas station bathroom staring at herself in the graffitied mirror. I don't look any different she thought applying a coat of lip-gloss to her pillowy bow shaped lip. Then she ran her hand over her skinny, toned stomach, one that would be getting a lot bigger in the next nine months. Brooke bitterly threw out the fifth positive pregnancy test, sighed, and walked back to the car where Lucas—her adorable Lucas— was waiting for her.
"Sorry I toke so long. I haven't been feeling so well." She said. It was entirely true she just started getting morning sickness two days ago.
"Do you want to turn around?" He asked worriedly, entwining their fingers.
"No! Of course not." Brooke insisted, smiling at how adorable he was being, "Come on, Broody Boy, let's get this show on the road."
"Your wish is my command." He said smiling pulling out of the gas station. And so the journey continued.
