Some would call Lucas Scott the luckiest guy in the world. He has three wonderful children and he is a bestselling author. Even thought he wasn't looking to be in a relationship at the moment he still had women asking him out left and right. Everyone knows he is just waiting for a certain blond beauty to come back to Tree Hill.

Peyton Sawyer had one of the most successful record labels in America at the age of thirty-five. She'd walk into a room and had guys going weak in the knees. She's gone on more dates then she's ever imagined, had a few long relationships. Two of them ended in disaster and the last one they just got bored with each other. Peyton Sawyer is successful, beautiful, and has so many new friends, so why is she not happy?

"Welcome to Tree Hill", whispered the blond as she drove past the sign.

After 15 years Peyton Sawyer was finally coming back to Tree Hill to find that fearless and somewhat happy girl that once live. And maybe even find that guy who made the somewhat happy girl turn completely happy.

As she was driving she took in the small town she once called home. Not much had change still as beautiful as ever. Some places had been updated but not many. Karen's Café. One of the places she loved to hang out at, owned by a woman who had a big influence in her life. Since she had nothing better to do she parked her car and decided to go in. As soon as she step foot in the café she was hit by the smell of the best coffee in the world. She searched high and low in L.A for coffee better than Karen's but failed.

"Hey how can I help you", asked the boy behind the counter.

"Umm coffee please" she said.'

"Coming right up"

God does he look familiar.

"Here you go one coffee" said the boy.

"Thanks" replied the blonde woman as she paid him. "Karen wouldn't happen to be here would she?"

"Nope, sorry she left a few minutes ago. I can tell her you stopped by."

"No that's okay I can come by some other day."

As Peyton was leaving she couldn't help but think how much the boy behind the counter looked like Lucas. Maybe it was all in her head because she would hate to find out that Lucas Scott had children by someone else.

Peyton decided to head to the store to pick up some stuff before going to check in her hotel. Boy was that a bad Idea.

"Peyton "said a voice she would know anywhere.

"Hi" she said as she turned around to meet the face of the person who was once known as her only family

"What are you doing here" said the brunette in a not so friendly tone.

So not the way she wanted to be greeted. Did she expect to be greeted with open arms? No, but just a little bit more welcoming would be nice.

"Just buying some stuff before I go to the hotel"

"What, are you just visiting?"

"No, I'm here for good" said Peyton "just staying in the hotel until I get a house"

Brooke just stared at her shocked. What made her come home after fifteen years?

"So after fifteen years with no contact with any of us you decide to come back" Brooke said angrily "I really hope you don't expect us to just go back to normal bec—"

"No" Peyton said cutting Brooke off "I'm sorry about not calling anyone but I just needed to start over" said the blonde "I was so sick of crying and being hurt I needed to get away. And I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch I just wanted to make sure I could make it on my own before I called, and the more I put it off the more I felt that it was too late to call and you would be mad"

Brooke sighed "I guess the calling thing goes two ways" she started "your Peyton sawyer anyone who knows music knows who you are. I could have found a way to call you.

"So are we okay" Peyton asked shyly

Brooke let out a little laugh "even though you're not my only family any more it still would be good to have my long lost sister back" Brooke laughed "I missed you "

Peyton laughed "I missed you too" she said as she leaned in for a hug

"Listen I have to go but I would really like it if you could come over for dinner tonight"

Peyton smiled. Maybe things wouldn't be so bad

"Yeah I would like that"
