Hey Guys it's been a long time since I've been on this site so I decided to change my name since I'm basically starting over. I have deleted all of my previous stories except for the ones that were complete because I lost all of my work for those when my old laptop decided to die. I may eventually rewrite those but for now, I'm moving on to new work. This is one I've been working on for quite a while and am just getting around to finishing it, it's a crossover which is different for me but it joins my favorite movie franchise with my favorite TV show. I hope you like it, let me know what you think!

Ten year old Brian lay awake in his bed listening to his parents fighting, he knows in the pit of his stomach that this fight is different than any other that they've had. He may only be ten but he knows that this isn't the way things are supposed to be, he wonders why he can't have the happy family that most of his friends have. But instead he has a father who is never home and a mother who is always sad and crying. He hears their shouts and screams so he buries his head further into his pillow and pulls the cover over his head to try to drown their voices out.

"If you think she's so perfect then why don't you just go live with her?" Brian hears his mom scream at his dad.

"Fine if you want me to leave I'll leave, it would be better than staying here dealing with you and your constant bitching and attitude." Duncan responds.

"I wouldn't bitch all the time or have an attitude if you were home more! Our son needs his father in his life more than he has him now. You're never home, how is he supposed to know how to be a man if he sees you doing what you're doing?" Colleen yells.

Duncan just stares at her "I can't do this anymore." He says before picking up his jacket and his duffle bag and walking out slamming the door behind him.

Colleen breaks down against the door that Duncan just slammed, her body wracked with sobs as she knows that he isn't coming back. This was the final straw in their marriage and her heart breaks for her son, knowing he'll never know what it's like to have a full family.

Los Angeles, CA

Brian O'Conner stood on the balcony watching the waves roll onto the sandy beach below. Just then he heard the patio door open behind him, he turned to see who was joining him "Hey Dom." He says smiling at his brother in-law and partner in crime. The two men are unlikely allies having gone through hell and back together over the last 8 years.

"You look lost in thought O'Conner what's going on?" Dominic Toretto asks him, giving him a knowing look. Dom knows that Brian has been worried about the kind of father he is going to be to his new son Jack, due to his own father walking out on him and his mom.

Brian shakes his head "Nothing really, just the same stuff I'm always thinking about." He answers with a sigh.

Dom looks away for a moment, and then he turns to look at Brian "Let me ask you something Brian." Brian just nods and looks away letting Dom finish "When was the last time you saw your father?"

Brian shrugs "I was about ten I guess when he just left one night and never came back." He looks at Dom and can tell Dom is waiting for him to continue, sighing "One night right after I turned ten I heard my parents arguing which was all they ever did when my dad was actually home." He pauses looking out over the ocean "I heard them arguing about a woman and then all of a sudden I heard the front door slam and my mom crying hysterically. That was the last time I ever heard from or saw my dad."

Dom studies his friend "You ain't gonna be like that Brian; you're going to stick around and be a great father to Jack. You already are a great father to him." He tells him trying to bring some comfort to the blonde standing beside him.

Brian shakes his head "I'm not so sure Dom, how do I be a father when I never had one to learn from?" he asks sadly.

"Let me ask you another question Brian. Have you thought about finding your dad and asking him why he left you?" Brian looks Dom in the eyes and shakes his head "Why not O'Conner? It might give you the closure you need."

He stands silent for a minute just watching the ocean and thinking carefully about his answer "I'm not sure I want to know why he left us. I've gone 24 years without him in my life Dom, I don't know if I really want to open myself back up to that pain." His blue eyes stare into Dom's.

"Sounds to me like you never truly closed off that pain, I think you need to do this for yourself but also for your son, he deserves to have you fully Brian and until you let go of this pain that you're holding onto he never will." He says as he turns and walks back into the house leaving Brian to ponder their conversation.

Brian stands on the balcony thinking about what Dom had just said and he wonders if maybe his friend is right, maybe he does need closure to be able to move on. He takes out his cell phone "Hey it's O'Conner I need you to do me a favor." He says into the phone.

Tree Hill, NC

Peyton Sawyer sits reading a magazine when she hears the front door open; she looks up and smiles as she sees her best friend walking through the door "Hey Brooke, I wasn't expecting to see you home so early."

The brunette gives her a half smile "I wasn't expecting to be home so early either but after last night I think you and I need to talk about the letter you found." Brooke says as she moves to sit next to Peyton on the couch. Brooke Davis has been Peyton's best friend since they were really young and they have been through a lot together, she knows that finding this letter in her biological mom Ellie's stuff has caused Peyton to reexamine everything she thought she knew about the past.

"Brooke, we've been over this already; I'm fine and finding that letter really doesn't change much. I still don't know where to start to even try to find my biological father or his family, I think right now I just need to leave it be." Peyton tells her sadly.

Brooke stares at her friend unsure of how to begin "Peyton I need to tell you something and I'm not sure how you're going to take it." She whispers.

Peyton glares at her knowing that once Brooke gets an idea in her head she can't let it go "Brooke Penelope Davis what did you do?" she asks in a hushed tone almost afraid of the answer.

Brooke sighs "Well I did some digging on the name that Ellie left for you and I'm not sure you're going to like the answer Peyton." Peyton just stares at her friend not sure if she wants her to continue or if she wants to demand that she keep whatever she found to herself. Brooke studies her friend for a moment before continuing "Do you want to know what I found Peyton? Because if you don't I won't tell you, I'll just throw the information away and we'll pretend I never knew anything."

The blonde stares at her best friend "Honestly Brooke I'm not sure if I want to know or not, this is all just so much to take in right now." She answers truthfully.

Nodding "How about I just put the information somewhere safe for now and if you decide you want to know any time in the future I'll give it to you?" she suggests and Peyton just nods. They sit in silence for a little while before Brooke looks at Peyton "Do you think that you'll eventually want to find your father? Do you want to know if you have any siblings out in the world?" she asks.

Peyton shrugs "I've thought about it but I was put up for adoption Brooke, how do I know that my biological father and his family would even want to know me? It's a lot to think about honestly; I'm just not sure how I feel right now after finding that letter. I think I just need time to think things through and see what the future holds."

Brooke stares at her friend before nodding "Alright then, well I'm going to go work on a few new designs and then how about we go grab some dinner?" she asks.

Peyton nods "Sounds good." She watches her friend walk into her bedroom and she ponders what Brooke has said. Should she try to find her biological father and his family? Does his family even know about her? Does he want to know her? She thinks about everything before getting up and walking towards her own bedroom where she pulls the letter from her nightstand to read it again. Once she's finished she knows what she has to do. She rushes out of her room and into Brooke's "I need to know what you found. I need to know who my father is." She blurts out. Brooke just smiles at her before handing her a manila folder.

Peyton takes the folder back to her room and lays it on her bed just staring at it unsure of what to do next. Slowly she sits down and picks the folder back up, turning it over and over in her hands mulling over whether she should open it or just let it be. Sighing she finally decides that she just needs to open the folder and see what all Brooke found out about the name Ellie left her. She gasps as she reads the information in front of her and quickly closes the folder again. Looking up towards the ceiling she whispers "Ellie please give me a sign tell me what to do with this information? Surely this can't be who you want me to find." Tears stream down her face silently.
