The Heart Brings You Back
Chapter 1
Lucas Scott never thought he would end up like Dan. Sure, when Brooke had the pregnancy scare in junior year he, for a moment felt like Dan had 17 years prior. This, however, topped the cake. When Lucas had left Tree Hill 4 years ago, he thought it was the last time he would see Brooke or Peyton. Now everything has changed…..
A tear slipped down Brooke's sombre face as she waited the 3 agonising minutes to see the stick turn pink or blue. She thought back to when she was in the same position 5 years ago, when Lucas portrayed her the first time. How could he do this AGAIN??? Sure, this time Peyton wasn't in the picture, however, he had managed to get her drunk, given her the best sex she had in nearly 5 years, and slipped out of her house before she even woke up.
"Damn the Scott sperm" Brooke muttered as the stick turned blue. Brooke reached for the phone and dialled a number that she had memorised over the last 4 years, but all she was met with was the answering machine.
"Hi you have reached Nathan, Haley and James Scott, leave a massage after the beep!!!" Haley's cheerful voice recited.
"Hey, Tutor Mum, I've got some news, call me back ASAP" Brooke whispered into the phone.
Brooke placed the phone back on the receiver. She piled her auburn locks into a messy pony tail and grabbed her car keys as she walked out the door. She drove round in circles until the petrol needle was nearly at empty. Finally Brooke stopped in front of an all too familiar front door.
Like she had been doing it for everyday for the last 4 years, she opened the door and stood in the foyer.
"P. Sawyer-Jagielski? Are you home???"
"Brooke???" Peyton said as she slowly descended the stairs. Peyton embraced Brooke in a tight hug
"What are you doing here, B. Davis?? As much as I love you, I thought you had a fashion show in Charlotte this weekend""
"Peyton…I just needed to talk to someone…." Brooke said as her eyes filled up with salty tears once again. "Damn it, I didn't want to do this!! I can't do this!!! How could he Peyton???"
"Brooke, what's going on?" Peyton said questionably
"Jake hasn't told you??" Brooke looked up surprisingly.
"Told me what, Brooke?"
"Lucas! Peyton, Lucas! The fact that Lucas waltzed back into town, we had drinks, one thing led to another, and he left before the bed sheets were barely crumpled" Brooke ranted.
"What??? JAKE!!!!!" Peyton screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Yes, hon??" Jake said poking his head around corner, obviously having heard the whole conversation.
"What the hell, Jake?? Have you talked to Lucas?? Why didn't you tell me he was back?? Peyton yelled
"Pey, maybe we should let Brooke and Lucas sort it out…" Jake said reluctantly
"Jake, Brooke is my best friend and Lucas is yours!! Of course we have to get involved, particularly since Lucas is pretty much repeating history. What is Brooke going to do?? Are they going to get back together?? How could he just do that? I going to ring his-
"GUYS??" Brooke yelled. "I'm going to leave if you two want to fight-"
"Don't be silly, Brooke! Come, sit-I'll get us some tea" as Peyton dragged Jake into the kitchen
"What are we going to do with her" Jake said nodding his head towards the lounge room
"She's my best friend, Jake!" Peyton whispered harshly, as she filled the tea cups and started walking back into the lounge room.
"Do you really want to tell her where he is- and more importantly- who he is engaged to?? Peyton whispered, seeing Brooke curled up on the couch.
"I'm going to check on Jenny" Jake said heading out of the room.
Peyton shoot him a death stare as Jake walked briskly up the stairs.
"He's engaged??" Brooke sobbed as she stared at Peyton in disbelief
