It was happening all over a gain the wedding, the mistakes, Lindsey.
Peyton sat in the recording office, face white and mouth open in shock
How could he do this to her, how could he marry Lindsey again after she left him at the alter, broken hearted and bleeding.
She had just received an email from Luke telling her of his decision, his mistake
All it said was that he was sorry, but he and Lindsey we're happy. And that Peyton could never get in the way of that happiness again. Once again she felt her heart freeze, Lucas Scott had yet again plunged a knife into her unsuspecting heart.
That was how Brooke found her still staring at her computer with her face contorted in pain. Peyton would never be the same again; already she could feel it, the jealousy and bitterness overtaking her heart.
Brooke reached for her and Peyton fell into her arms sobbing.
Jake loaded his car, how Niki could have found then he didn't know. All he knew was that he ad to get his precious daughter far, far away. He didn't know where would be safe enough the only place he knew there we're people such as him, people who would risk their life's for his daughter was Tree Hill.
But in Tree Hill there was Peyton the girl and now woman whom he had loved and lost again and again. He could still remember the night she whispered those heart-breaking words
"I love you Lucas" It was hard to believe 4 words could change your life. But they had.
Part of him hoped they we're happy and successful, another part wished for Luke's misery for that is what he had suffered during he's years without Peyton.
It felt like such a big decision, getting in that car and driving to Tree Hill, but he did it any way. Packed Jenny into the back seat and left their life in this small town good bye.
Brooke was furious, with herself with Peyton but none of it compared to the hatred she felt towards Lucas Scott, she had trusted him with Payton's heart, with her own.
And now both lay in ruins. Brooke's heart did not break for Lucas at least not any more. There was a time when his worlds had twisted blade after blade into her heart but no longer.
Her heart now broke for Peyton, whose already broken heart now lay shattered.
Peyton hid. That's all she could really do. She hid and she sobbed, she cried her eyes dry for the man who had once loved her and broken her heart to many times to count.
Lucas looked down at a sleeping Lindsey. He knew he had made the right choice. He loved Lindsey and she loved him. But it could never compare to the pull he felt towards Peyton. 'Forget about her' he told himself ' you have what you always wanted' 'Lindsey', but was it what he had always wanted? For a long time his heart had pined for Payton. He had wasted he's tears and his dreams on her for years, and Lindsey had pushed them to the side made him forget. If only temporarily.
Yes, Luke, decided he was happy.
The streets where all the same, same names, same people. It was just a storefront here and there that was changed. The florist's was now a coffee shop and Keith's mechanic shop was gone. Jake wondered what else Keith could have been doing; he had always been a mechanic nothing else." Well, Jenny lets go see how Karen and the café is doing"
Jenny smiled back at him "Kay Daddy" Jake smiled the last time she had barely been a year old. And now she was deciding were they would go.
For a 6 year old Jenny was very perceptive, though she didn't say much she could see her father was worried. "Daddy do we know people here?" Jake smiled back at her "In fact we know quite a few people here sweetie, you even lived here for a little while had had some very big admirer's" Jenny smiled again "was mommy here once to, Daddy?" "Yes Jenny, but she's not here any more" "Good" said Jenny sounding as totally serious as a five year old can sound. Jenny could she remember the day at the park where mommy had taken her had stolen her away form her Daddy. She had just grabbed her and ran away, she didn't get very far because as soon as Daddy saw mommy running away. He had raced after her and grabbed me out of her tiny arms. Then it was Daddy's turn to run, he pushed me into the car and we left for a new town the next morning.Jenny wondered why they had left there home this morning and came here. I bet she thought to herself it had something to do with Mommy"
Jake was wondering where the hell Karen's Café had gone. Where it should have been was a large department store called 'Clothes over Bro's"
"Jenny lets go in an see what kind a of clothes the have k honey?"
"I thought we were going to Karen's café?" said Jenny brightly, Jake smiled, she was so smart he laughed about how many things were going to go over his head when she got older "We're just going to stop here for a couple minutes k honey" "K, Daddy" giggled Jenny
It had been a really long day, and Brooke was very, very tired. Peyton still hadn't come out form beneath the covers and Mille had just told Brooke that her and Mouth where leavening. Which meant she had to find a new assistant, train a new assistant, bring Peyton back to life and most importantly, kill Lucas Scott.
She heard th door to her store open, God she thought to herself 5 minutes before closing and I get customers. She walked out to tell whoever was out there the store was about to close.
It was a tall well-built man clutching a small girls hand. When he heard her enter the room he turned to face her, shock registered on his face before a smile reached across his face and filled his eyes.
Brooke didn't recognize him, she just saw this fabulous guy holding his cute daughter or sisters hand anf grinning at her.
She cleared her throat "I'm sorry sir, but we're closing in a few minutes and I would love to close up for the night" " Do you mind"
Jack continued to smile, not even fazed that Brooke had failed to recognize him "Of course Brooke Me and Jenny where just wondering what you have done to the café?
Brooke's jaw dropped "Jake" she said hesitantly.
Jake smiled back. And Brooke ran forward to hug him and Jenny.
Peyton stormed down the stairs, where in heaven's name was Brooke? The store had closed 20 minutes ago and Brooke was still not home. "Silly girl probably rapped up in some pretty fabric or dress.
But when Peyton walked into the store she did not see Brooke. Maybe she's on the phone thought Peyton.
When Peyton walked into Brooke's office she saw a man sitting in one of the chairs facing Brookes desk in the other a small brunette girl.
Jake heard her enter the office, the similar sound of her high heels the huffing and puffing Peyton always let out when she was in a state. He didn't know what else to do, so he turned around and smiled.
And Peyton, for the second time that week, almost passed out on the floor.
