Chapter 1

California

Three weeks ago:

Brooke's mom: Brooke, honey, we have to tell you something.

Brooke: What is it? You sound serious.

Brooke's mom: Well, I am serious. Honey, this is great news so please don't freak out, okay?

Brooke: Well, I'll try if you just tell me.

Brooke was getting a little agitated. She knew this was probably important but she was just getting ready to go shopping with her friends and Brooke Davis definitely doesn't miss out on a shopping trip.

Brooke: Would you just tell me already?

Brooke's mom: Okay. We're moving.

Brooke: WHAT?! What do you mean we're moving?! We can't be!

Brooke's mom: Well, your father got transferred to North Carolina for his job and we thought it was best if we all just moved there.

Brooke: North Carolina?! We're moving to North Carolina?

Brooke couldn't help but think about the dreadful place they would be going to. She would be going from private school to public school, from a whole group of friends to probably no friends at all and it would take years of therapy for her to even accept the fact that she wouldn't be living in a mansion anymore. This changes everything.

Brooke: But what about my friends? What about Dean?!

Dean was her boyfriend. They had been going out for almost a year now. Even though they cared about each other, they both knew their relationship was more about sex than anything else.

Brooke: I can't just leave them behind! What do you want me to say to Dean? Hey Dean, we've been going out for almost a year now, but my parents decided that we should move so we'll probably never see each other again, later.

Brooke's mom: Oh, Brooke, stop with the melodramatics. It's not gonna be that awful. It's just gonna different.

Brooke: Yeah, well, I don't do different very well. You see, unlike you guys, I actually like my life.

Brooke's mom: Brooke!

Brooke: You know what? I'll just stay. I'll stay and you go. That way everyone will be happy.

Brooke's mom: Nice Try. But you're going.

Brooke: No, I'm staying and that's that!

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

Brooke's mom: Brooke, come on! We're gonna be late.

She was yelling from downstairs. Brooke was still in her room, sitting on the floor. Everything had been moved out. He queensized bed, her sofa, her clothes, everything. She was just sitting there staring at the emptiness in her room. A room she would probably never see again.

Brooke's dad: Brooke, get your butt down here now!

Brooke: Fine! I'm coming.

As much as she had tried to convince her parents that she would be fine on her own, she didn't succeed. She still couldn't believe her parents, she was practically living on her own anyways, but now they decide to act like parents. Everything was just way too messed up. She stomped her way through the house and to the front porch where all her friends were, waiting to say goodbye.

Brooke: Oh, you guys.

They all had a group hug.

Brooke: I'm gonna miss you guys so much.

Darcy: Brooke, you can't go. I mean, who's gonna go shopping with me, and tell me what to wear, and give me manipedi's.

Brooke: I know, honey, I'm gonna miss you too.

Darcy was her best friend ever since Junior High. They had been through everything together and she just couldn't imagine her life without her. But she tried to convince herself and Darcy that this was all for the best, even though she didn't know if she believed that herself.

Brooke's parents: Brooke, come on!

Brooke: I'm coming! I'm gonna miss all of you so much.

This time her and Darcy started to cry. This was harder than she thought it would be. Her mother then honked the horn and Brooke knew that she had to go.

Brooke: Bye, guys. I'll miss you.

She then ran to the car and got in. Waving to all her friends till they we gone. Right then and there it was goodbye sunny California and hello boring North Carolina.

Tree Hill.

Meanwhile in Tree Hill, North Carolina everyone was going about their business. Lucas was helping his mother in her café with his best friend Michelle and he was also waiting for his girlfriend Peyton to arrive. She had been sailing with her father for a couple of weeks, so they could spend some quality time together and she could see what he actually does for a living. Those last few weeks felt like an eternity. Lucas and Peyton rarely spend time apart and when they do they miss each other like crazy. But this time it was different. Lucas didn't really miss Peyton all that much, what did that mean? It didn't mean that he loved her less, cause he didn't. He just shrugged it off and just waited for her.

Peyton: Lucas Scott!

She yelled his name as she opened the door and walked in. He then looked at her, his beautiful girlfriend, the one he would probably spend the rest of his life with.

Lucas: Peyton!

He walked over to her and they hugged. They then shared a very passionate kiss as though they hadn't kissed in years.

Peyton: I missed you so much.

Lucas: I missed you too.

Lucas just looked into her eyes and could feel the love she had for him. He had plans, he had very big plans for their future. But little did he know those plans would change when one certain person came to town.
