Britney sets her books on the floor. "It was ok." "Just another dull day," "Whats for dinner ?," she asked her mom.
"Sweet and Sour Chicken," Brooke told her.
Britney smiled. "I love sweet and sour chicken." "You always make the best."
"Thanks sweetie," Brooke said. "This came in the mail today." "Peyton & Jake have invited us to their wedding."
"Are we going ?" Britney asked.
"I don't see why not," Brooke smiled. "I have not seen her in sixteen years." "It will be nice to see her again."
"Why did you leave Tree Hill anyway ?," Britney asked.
"Becaus I wanted to live in New York and work on my fashion line," Brooke said not telling her the real truth. She just didnt want to see the man who was Britney's father. She hated him for hurting her when he sad he wouldnt.
"OK," Britney said. She knew her mom was keeping something from her.
"So here we are," Brooke said to her daugter when they got to Tree Hill.
Britney looks out the car window. "Its a lot smaller than New York City," she said.
"I know," Brooke smiled to her "but your are going to like it here." "Are you hungery?," Brooke asked. "There is a place that has good hamburgers."
"Yes," Britney said
Brooke pulls in to Karens Cafe.
"What can I get you ?," a blonde haired man asked. He looks up. "Brooke?,' Lucas looked shocked. "What are you doing here?," he asked.
"I came down for Peyton and Jake's wedding and wanted to move back home to my old house I grew up in," Brooke said.
He smiled at her. "Well, I'm happy your back."
Brooke smiled. "So I'm I." "Lucas, I want to to meet my daughter, Britney."
Lucas holds his hand out. "Hello Britney," he smiled. "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you to," she said shakeing his hand.
"I get off in five minutes," he said. "Is it ok if I sit and talk with you?"
"Sure," Brooke smiled.
He smiled. "I will be back with your drinks and food."
"Mom, didnt you and Lucas used to date ?," Britney asked.
"Yes, we did." She looked down. "We got into a fight a few days before I left for New York."
Looks at her mom "Was it about my father?," she asked.
"Yes, sweetie, it was," Brooke said.
"Why do you never talk about him?," Britney asked "I want to know who he is."
"I will tell you later," Brooke told she.
Britney frowns, "You always say that."
Brooke hugs her. "I know sweetie, but I promise I will tell you soon."
"OK," Britney said.
Lucas comes back with their food. "Here you go guys," he handed them their food. "So Britney," he asked "What grade are you in now?"
"I'm in eleventh grade." Britney told him. "I start on monday."
"Are you looking forward to it?," Lucas asked.
Britney smiled. "Kinda."
Lucas smiled at Brooke. "And how have you been doing?"
"I have been great," Brooke smiled. "Hows you mother been?" "I would love to see her again."
"Shes good," Lucas took a bite of his burger. "She would be happy to see you."
"I missed it here," Brooke looked at Lucas. "I missed you."
Lucas smiled. "I missed you too." "If its not to much to ask, but would you like to go out with me tomorrow night."
"I would love to," Brooke smiled. "I'm sorry I have to leave soon, but me and Britney have to unpack," "Heres my number," Brooke gave him a hug. "Call me sometimes."
He returned her hug. "I will." He kissed her cheek. "Welcome back, Brooke."
