NOTE: Brooke never lost Clothes Over Bro's. Peyton, Lucas & Sawyer have been living in New Zealand for the past 6 months. Haley, Nathan & Jamie are still waiting for the birth of their baby.
"Brooke Davis would change the world someday" that's what Lucas had told me, that's what Lucas wrote about me but it was today that I really needed to believe that. I had changed the fashion world with Clothes Over Bro's but I needed to change my world. Was that really a possibility to do? I need my world to be perfect and to be ever inch special to what I want it to be. Some things stand in your way but these are the obstacles that need to be shut down and moved. "Brooke Davis will change the world someday as long as it is her own world."
Brooke Davis had been waiting for this day for as long as she could remember. Peyton and Brooke would sit in Peyton's room after a Tuesday at the mall and Brooke would plan her wedding when they were 8 years old. She knew what her music would be, she knew what flowers she wanted, she knew what her dress would look like, and she knew what food would be served at the reception. Brooke Davis had planned her perfect wedding from the tender age of 8 but it was this day that she knew she wouldn't have a perfect wedding. Her perfect wedding was not complete without her best friend standing beside her at the altar. No Peyton Sawyer, now Peyton Scott, meant no perfect wedding and Brooke wanted her perfect wedding.
"C'mon Brooke! The wedding is only 3 days away and there is still so much to do. My parents arrive today, yours tomorrow and so far we have not got them a hotel room. What are we going to do?" Julian yelled out to Brooke.
"Julian, I love you. I really do love you but my wedding is not going to be perfect without Peyton. I really don't know if I can marry you without her by my side," Brooke quietly and sadly said.
"Brooke, I love you too, but you see, you deserve your special day, your perfect wedding. It just might mean that there are a couple of people short. I need to make an important phone call and when I am finished we will start to finalise wedding plans," Julian replied.
"Who are you calling?" Brooke questioned as she tried to take her mind off the wedding plans.
With the phone in his hand, dialling the number, "I've finally made the decision on which script I want to make next."
"That's great, Julian. Which one did you choose?" Brooke said a lot more calm then before.
"You will just have to wait and see," Julian said.
Brooke stomped away because she wanted to know which movie Julian had chosen. Why he had chosen that particular movie? Would it be as good as his last one?
"Hey, it's Julian. I just wanted to tell you that I want to make your script my next movie. I want to take your movie to Sundance that's if you will have me."
"To get things moving along, I really need you to come to my office in Tree Hill so we can start to draw up the contract and to speak about your rights as the writer. We can discuss all the other details when you get here." Still talking on the phone to the prospective script writer
"I need you to be here, possibly, in the next day as I have something very special this weekend and then I will be out of town for a few days straight after that."
"Okay that would be great. I look forward to that meeting."
Julian sat down in his chair and sighed to himself. We wondered if Brooke would approve of the movie he had finally selected. He wondered if he had chosen the right movie to do. He wondered if the writer of this movie was ready for Tree Hill. Would Tree Hill be ready for this writer and his family? He really hoped they would be welcomed with open arms into what is a close knit family of theirs. All these questions were going through his head but he didn't have any answers just yet.
Brooke sat in her store and all she could think about that her wedding day wasn't going to be perfect; it wasn't going to be the way she always wanted to be because her best friend wasn't there with her. Sure, they had chatted on the phone about every single detail. Brooke even had open plane tickets sitting at the airport in New Zealand, and Peyton, Lucas and Sawyer just had to show their passports and they would be on the first available plane back to the States. She would do anything to have her best friend at her wedding. She wanted Sawyer to be her flower girl and she even offered to go and pick her up in New Zealand, of course she is Brooke Davis so she had another plan to that plan. She wanted her best friend at her wedding and she was running out of plans so she started giving up. Her plans for the perfect wedding were dying right in front of her eyes and she didn't know what to do. At least her parents had agreed to come to the wedding. Her relationship with her mom was still strained but Victoria had gone to prison to save the company that Brooke had started in high school. Brooke's best ideas came to her when her heart was broken and today was no different to those days. Her wedding dress designs were beautiful, her bridesmaids' dresses were beautiful and there was still an extra dress, just in case her best friend appeared out of nowhere.
Brooke's phone rang and she was a little hesitant to answer it so she didn't even look at the caller id to see who it was, she thought it had something to do with her wedding.
"Hello, Brooke Davis."
"Oh ... hi Peyton. I guess you are not sitting at the airport ready to get on the plane with the open plane ticket I left for you."
"That's alright P. Scott. You have your family to think about."
"No, I am fine, just got a lot of things on my mind at this moment. Julian has found his next movie and he doesn't want to tell me what it is about until he meets the scriptwriter. The store is still there and I'm in the middle of some new designs, you will have to come and be my model one day and get your skinny butt back to Tree Hill and see me. I miss you P Scott and Broody and little Brooke. She must be huge now." Brooke tried to hide her sadness as much as she could. Brooke had become a pro at it over the years. Brooke was always the friend that everyone could count on, be the shoulder to cry on.
"Yes I am fine. Don't worry about me."
"I will definitely make a trip to down under to visit, maybe on my honeymoon."
"It's been great talking to you Peyton but I have an appointment with the caterer in 10 minutes."
"Okay, I love you too, P Scott. Bye"
Brooke knew that Peyton would know that something was wrong with her. They weren't best friends for nothing. They were more than best friends though, Peyton and Brooke were sisters, and they were family. Brooke needed all her family with her.
Brooke was upset that her best friend couldn't be at her wedding and she really wanted Sawyer as her flower girl but Peyton wasn't coming so Brooke had to continue with her planning of her wedding without a flower girl, without her matron of honour but more importantly she just wanted her best friend and her family next to her on the day that would make her the happiest person alive. She did what she thought was best and turn her music up as loud as she could and just started to dance. It wasn't the best of dances but she just had to do it to clear her mind.
Nathan and Haley were waiting for the arrival for their daughter, who they already named Lydia Deborah Scott. They thought her name was appropriate and it really helped Haley through her depression and helped Nathan with the end of his basketball career. Nathan was lost for a little while once he realised that his back was a lot worse than the doctors anticipated. Nathan could have played out the rest of the season but it meant that one wrong slip and he would be back in the wheelchair again, and he never wanted that to happen again, not to himself, Haley or Jamie. Jamie had been upset that his father was no longer a Bobcat but it also meant that his dad could be around him a lot more. Jamie loves having his dad being at home with him now and doing everything that they missed out on when Nathan was away for basketball. Haley loves having her husband around her too. Nathan loves being around his family and actually having time to relax and to enjoy whatever each day brings because he knows that every morning and night he gets to kiss his wife and his son. He never really realised until now how much he has actually missed out by being away for a basketball game. He didn't want that to happen anymore. He wanted to have dinner with his wife, his son and eventually his daughter every night. He wanted to be woken by Jamie and Lydia jumping into bed with them- which reminded him, he would need a bigger bed.
Nathan was happy with his decision to work with Clay as an agent. It meant he needed to go back to college and get his degree. Nathan knew that school was never his strong point in life but he did marry his tutor so it shouldn't be that bad. Nathan tried his hardest so that he could complete his degree but some things always came naturally to him and school work definitely wasn't it.
"Hey Haley, this school stuff is way too hard. Are you sure you can't do it for me? Since you are tutor mom, and you were a teacher and I was thinking, maybe..."
"Nathan Scott, just stop right there. That is cheating and you know you can do it because I believe you can do it, Jamie believes you can do it and I'm pretty sure you know you can do it. But I will tell you something, I will quiz you and every answer you get right that will earn you a kiss."
"Well maybe this study stuff won't be as hard as I thought."
"Yeah I thought you might like that."
Haley quizzed Nathan all afternoon while Jamie was with Skills. They were so lucky to have friends that love Jamie so much. Everyone treated Jamie like one of their friends but they did worry sometimes, just like Haley once did, that maybe Jamie needed to be around more people his own age, he needed more school friends instead of hanging out at the River Court with Skills, Junk & Fergie. Maybe Jamie was born into the wrong body like Haley once thought of herself but Jamie was a different kid compared to her because he was just like Nathan and just like Haley, he had each of their best qualities. All afternoon, Nathan studied and Haley quizzed him which seemed to help Nathan with all the reading he had to do. He wanted to be the best sports agent anyone would want to have but it meant he needed to put in the hard work now so that he could be the person he knew he could be.
"Mrs Scott, I'm so glad I married my tutor because I think I would have quit so many times today. And Mrs Scott, you are looking really sexy over there which is kind of distracting so maybe you should come over her and give me an extra kiss."
"Well, Nathan Scott, you may just get your wish."
Nathan and Haley were still in love just like high school. If only all relationships from high School started off like that then maybe more and more teenagers would think long and hard about their relationships in school then jumping from one boyfriend or girlfriend to the next.
