Where'd You Go?
By: Kathy-Lynn Brown
Brooke had been gone from Tree Hill for a long time. When she graduated from high school she just wanted to get as far away from all the drama as she could. When the fashion industry came calling for her designs she saw it as the perfect opportunity to get the break from Peyton and Lucas she always needed. She still loved Peyton like a sister but it was just to hard seeing her and Lucas together.
Peyton tried calling everyday for the first few months but Brooke wouldn't answer. She would send her straight to voice mail. As her jet landed at Tree Hill airport Brooke took a deep breathe. She just wanted to find a house and settle down before seeing any of the old gang. The only person she'd kept in touch with was Haley but she didn't even tell her she was coming back.
"Ms. Davis,… I'll take your luggage to the cab for you." A young man in a pilots uniform said.
"Thank you." She still sat there looking at the window. For some reason she just couldn't get her legs to move.
"Are you alright Ms. Davis?" He asked concerned. He'd be her pilot for almost a year now and had never seen her so lost before.
She turned to look at him. "I'm fine." She smiled tightly. "It's just I haven't been home in four years. It's kind of hard to make those first steps."
"I understand. Just take your time." He said before disappearing to the front of the jet.
'What am I doing here?' She asked herself. 'I shouldn't do this. I should have moved to LA like my mom wanted.' She picked up her purse and made her way towards the door of the jet.
The pilot placed her bag into the trunk of the cab as she waited by the door.
"Oh my God, Brooke is that you?" a familiar voice said.
Brooke closed her eyes down tight and bit her bottom lip. All she wanted to do was get things together before seeing anyone. Exspecially the voice she just heard. She turned slowly around to see Lucas Scott standing in front of her. "Lucas,…" She whiphered.
He rushes over to her pulling her close for an intense hug. He pulls back keeping her at arms length. "Where have you been pretty girl?" He asked.
Brooke's heart sunk deep. She hadn't heard those words in four years and it still had the same effect on her. "Uh- I'd love to stay and chat Lucas, but I have somethings I need to do."
"Oh, yeah of course. But you will give me a call and we'll catch up right!" He asked overly excited to see her.
She nods. "Definetly." She gets into the cab and closes the door. She looks back as it drives off to see Lucas still watching her.
