Five Year Reunion
Chapter One
Haley James was reading sitting at home reading her e-mail. An e-mail from her best friend Brooke David popped up and she opened it. It read:
It's time for Tree Hill High's five year reunion! It will be held Saturday May 12th in Tree Hill High's gym. Please RSVP to Brooke Davis by the 8th.
Please join us to see all your old friends who you never got to catch up with.
Haley sighed and exited the screen. She looked over to where her five year old some Jack was playing with some legos. She wouldn't even be able to go if she wanted to with Jack's autism. It would be too big of a change for him. Just then the phone rang.
"Hello," Haley answered.
"Hey tutor mom," she heard the voice on the other end say. There's only one person that could be.
"Brooke!" she screamed into the phone.
"Hey, Hales," Brooke said back. "Have you gotten my e-mail?"
"Yes, I did, but I don't think I can come," Haley answered. "It would be too hard with Jack."
"Come on you're just making excuses. Jack will be fine," Brooke said. "I already talked to Karen and she said she would watch Jack the night of the reunion, and while you're there you can help around the café. Come on you can't say no now."
"Has he RSVPed?" Haley asked. Brooke knew exactly who she was talking about.
"No, and Lucas talked to him and Nathan told him he probably wouldn't come, and even if he does it wont be that big of a deal. One night won't kill you," Brooke said. "Come on!"
"I'll think about it," Haley answered.
"Glad you can come!" Brooke said. "I already got you tickets and they're non-refundable, so don't even worry about that. Your plan leaves in a week."
"Brooke I said I'd think about it," Brooke hung up. That's the way Brooke was. If she wanted something she would be stubborn until she got it. Haley signed and hung up, too. Brooke was right. Nathan can't ruin her fun and even if he's there it'll on be one night, and he wont even see Jack.
Haley walked over to where her son was playing with his legos. "Jack, it's time for mommy to give you your lesson," she said in a sweet tone.
He mumbled something to himself, and then got up walked with Haley to the table. "I'm going to go get the paper real quick. Stay there," she instructed. She walked outside and smelt the warm California summer sun. There was nothing better to her than California in the summer.
Haley had moved to California shortly after her high school graduation when she had figured out she was pregnant. Nathan's dreams of playing at Duke had come true and she couldn't stand in the way, so she moved to California with a little money from tutoring and some clothes. She found a way to pay for college and a sitter for two years until she found out Jack had autism. Since he was three she home schooled him in the daytime and worked as a waitress at a bar at night.
Haley walked down hall of her apartment complex to where the mailboxes were and got hers out. There was an envelope from Lucas and some bills. She knew what was in the envelope already. Ever since Haley had to pay for Jack's treatments Lucas would send some money once a month just in case Haley needed some extra cash. Haley begged him not to, but he always did and she wasn't going to mail it back.
She walked back to her apartment and found Jack playing in the corner with his legos.
"Jack, didn't mommy tell you to stay sitting at the table?" Haley asked.
"Jack wants to pway wif his yegos," he said. Jack also has some speech problems.
"Maybe you can play with them after, honey, but right now you need to sit down for your lesson," she said. Jack just kept on playing and mumbling to himself. That's what hurt Haley the most about Jack's autism. His failure to really look into Haley's eyes or look at her facial expressions and know she meant it.
After about ten minutes Haley finally got Jack back at the table working on writing some letters. She started to bite his arm, which he did a lot not even noticing. Haley was taught to just put his arm to the side when he did that so he would learn it was wrong. While he finished the rest of his letters Haley watched him. She couldn't believe how much he looked like Nathan with his dark brunette hair and his big blue eyes. He was like a mini Nathan.

"Hey Nate," Lucas said calling Nathan on his phone.
"Hey Luke," he answered.
"So, Brooke needs to know if you're going to go to that reunion thing," he said.
"Is she going to be there?" Nathan asked.
"Brooke is almost a hundred percent sure," Lucas answered honestly.
"I'll have to think about it," Nathan said.
"Come on Nathan. I've been listening to you whining about Haley for years, and now you finally have a chance to win her back and you're going to pass," Lucas said angrily. "You are going to that party and you're going to make things right with Haley."
"You're right Luke," Nathan said. "Tell Brooke I'll be there," Nathan said.
"Ok," Lucas said and they both hung up. Lucas turned around to see Brooke sitting at the kitchen table looking over some creations she just finished for her fashion line.
"Let's take a break from work tonight. I have something in mind," Lucas said to Brooke.
"Like what?" she said looking up from her papers.
"You'll see."
Lucas made Brooke go to Karen's Café while he was finishing everything up. Brooke was coloring with Lucas's little sister Lily when Lucas walked in.
"Are you ready?" he asked. Brooke nodded her head. Lucas turned his fingers in a circle signaling for Brooke to turn around. She did as Lucas told her and he put a blind fold over her eyes. He led her to the car and put her in and buckled her seatbelt.
After about five minutes they were at their destination. Lucas got everything set up then took Brooke's blindfold off. Brooke gasped at what was in front of her. There were about fifteen lighted Amber candles (her favorite) on a picnic blanket with a basket next to it. Lucas was already sitting down on one end so she joined him on the other.
Lucas then pulled out some spaghetti and some rolls. He made Brooke a plate then him one. He poured them some champagne. While they ate dinner they talked about how they wished the reunion would go and they caught up on each others work and lives. After they had eaten their dessert of chocolate cake Brooke sat next to Lucas laying her head on his chest. He held his arm around her shoulder and they looked up into the stars.
"I've never seen them so beautiful," Brooke said. Lucas smiled so far the night was turning out exactly as planned.
Suddenly Lucas sat up. It was time. He reached in his pocket and took out a maroon velvet ring case.
Brooke saw the case and gasped. "Brooke Davis, for two years you have made me the luckiest man alive and I would like to make it permanent. Please make me the luckiest man forever. Will you marry me?"
Brooke's eyes water. She started to shake her head. "Yes," she whispered barely able to get the word out she was so happy. He took the wring, put it on her finger, and she kissed him passionately. They held each other again and looked at the stars. It seemed that for the moment everything in the world seemed to stop, and everything was good.
