---------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooke Davis had it all. Beauty, smarts, money, friends, a famous fiancé. She had the life every girl ever wanted. She seemed like she loved everything, and was worry free.

But sometimes looks can be deceiving, don't you think?

No one ever understood that her smile never lit up her face, or that her laughter was unfilled. No one saw behind the façade.

Brooke Davis lived in a huge mansion on the beach. She wore all designer clothes and drove a BMW. Every girl that she ever met venerated her, and ever boy wanted to steal her heart.

The one problem was that Brooke Davis was missing something very important…a piece of her heart. It was taken 6 years ago by a boy she loved dearly. A boy that now is a bestselling writer and has another girl of his own. This boy from long ago, he knew everything about Brooke. He took time to break down the wall she had carefully put up around herself. He also broke her heart by cheating on her with her best friend. Although she did start to love him again…she probably never stopped.

The day that Brooke Davis left Tree Hill that summer, everything changed. She went from high school cheerleader to famous fashion designer in months, but always keeping a place in her heart for him…..

Lucas Scott

It's a name that Brooke says over and over in her head. Every time she sees a bus pass on the street, his picture is on it. Every time she goes into the store, there's his bestselling book.

Now don't get me wrong, when Brooke and Lucas were together in high school, they had their hard times. They are completely opposite too. Broody and Cheery. They pushed each others buttons and piss each other off on a regular basis, but that doesn't mean they didn't love each other.

Some days, Brooke would sit and stare at Lucas' new book that sits on her nightstand. Not once though has she opened the book. There are too many memories in this book, she knows. A part of her doesn't have the courage to open up the distant memories.

Brooke Davis never moved on from Lucas Scott. She could swear that she did move on, that everything was okay. But it's not true, she just tried to bury it away. Lucas Scott still had a huge part of her heart, and Brooke doubted she would ever get it back.

Haley James Scott is a very, very busy lady. She has a 6 year old boy, and a baby on the way, she is a teacher, and she makes sure there is always a nice dinner on the table when her husband gets home from work.

Haley got lucky, she met the man of her dreams when she was 16. not too many people are that lucky. Trust me, they've had some tough times, but all in all they made it through, together.

"Hales, I'm home!" she heard her husband yell from the foyer.

"In the kitchen!" she ylled to him.

As she was standing over the stove, mixing the soup in the pot, she felt arms glide around her rather large stomach, and she felt Nathan's lips on her neck and lauged.

"Honey, I'm gonna burn the chicken in the oven." She laughed.

"After dinner." Nathan told her with a smile.

"After dinner." She said, shooing him away with a laugh.

--------

Dinner was almost ready. Brooke worked so hard to make this dinner perfect for her fiancé. It was their 1 year anniversary. Brooke placed the candles outside on the table overlooking the ocean, she dimmed the lights and put on the music.

That' when the phone rang.

"Hey baby, are you almost here?" Brooke asked as soon as she picked up the phone.

"Listen babe, we got stuck here for a while. They're having some problem with the stunt guy, I won't be home until late." Ryan, Brooke's fiancé, said into the phone.

Brooke sighed, throwing down her apron "Well, what time do you think you'll--.'

"I have to go babe." Ryan said before hanging up.

Brooke tried not to cry as she fixed herself a plate and sat outside in the candlelight by herself.

--------

"Mama!" Lily called to Karen "I'm home!"

Karen walked into the living room to see her daughter, she was sweaty and her hair was everywhere, she had a basketball in her hands.

"Have fun?" Karen asked her daughter, laughing.

Lily nodded happily.

"Where's your brother?" Karen asked

Lily turned around and pointed outside to Lucas, who was walking in slowly.

"I forgot I wasn't 17 anymore." Lucas said, walking into his mother's house.

"You're old!" Lily yelled to him.

Lucas smiled "Oh yea? Well you better run!"

Lily screamed as her brother picked her up and tickled her, throwing her on the couch.

"I give up!" Lily yelled through laughter.

"Say 'My big brother is not old'" Lucas told her, laughing.

"My brother is not----old-----and I love him---soooooo much!" she yelled as Lucas let go.

Lily was still laughing when Lucas followed Karen into the kitchen to help her with dinner.

--------

Nathan, Haley, and Jimmy sat down for dinner.

"I made a three pointer Mom!" Jimmy beamed.

"Honey, that's great!" Haley told her son as she put broccoli on his plate.

Jimmy frowned "Doesn't that mean I don't need any broccoli?"

"I don't think so." Haley said with a smile.

"Nice try." Nathan nudged his son.

The phone rang and Nathan picked it up. A few mumbled words were said, and he hung up.

"Who was that?" Haley asked

"It was Luke." Nathan told her "Whitey didn't make it. The funeral is Saturday."

------

"Hello?" Brooke answered her phone.

"Hey Tigger." Haley said.

"Tutorgirl! What are you doing?" Brooke asked, happy her friend called.

"Well, I don't have the best news, Whitey died yesterday, he had a heart attack." Haley told her sadly.

Brooke's day just wasn't going well at all "When is the funeral?"

"Saturday." Haley told her.

"I'll be there." Brooke said

"You're coming home?" Haley asked happily.

"Whitey did a lot for us, he was an amazing person and taught us so much. I have to come." Brooke told her, hanging up.

Haley put down the phone and sat on the couch, then it hit her.

Everyone would be home on Saturday, they would all be together again for the first time since graduation.
