Welcome Back Home !
Peyton Sawyer is a very attractive 22-year-old girl. Curly, blond hair and green eyes. She can have any man she wants, but she doesn't believe in love anymore and prefers to stay single. This is the time she's been waiting for! She is going to start her own label. She is now what every girl would want to become but it wasn't always like that. Today she is returning from Los Angeles where she got to start in the music business.
She walks in her old house, where she hasn't been for 4 years. Brooke and Haley was now living in it.
"Oh my God! P Sawyer you're back!" Brooke Davis, her best friend since Kindergarten.
"Yeah, I missed you B Davis! Where's Haley?" Brooke and Peyton met Haley in Junior Year in High School.
"I'm right here! It's so good to see you! So you're moving back?" After High School she wanted to get out of Tree Hill. That's why she went working in Los Angeles. And she learnt a lot there, but she felt like it was time to come back.
"Yeah, I belong here! LA was great but you know, this is home!"
"Talking about home, you're staying here, right? I mean this is your house after all and we're gonna have so much fun."
"Yes, Peyton you're moving here with us! You know where your room is!" Haley said.
"We haven't changed anything" Brooke said.
"Well, it looks like I don't have a choice! Thank you so much girls, I'm gonna go see my room then." Peyton walks up the stairs and into her teenage bedroom. Memories come back to her.
Flashback
A 18-year-old teenage girl is drawing on her desk. On the drawing, there's a broken heart with 'Lucas & Peyton Never Gonna Happen' written on it.
End of Flashback
Peyton found this drawing where she left it, the night before she left for LA. She puts it into her bottom drawer, where there's a lot of other sketch with Lucas on it. It's been a long time since she hadn't thought about him. What a jerk! She tells herself that it is in the past, that she isn't that girl anymore. The truth is that she hasn't allowed herself to be in love again since him. She's afraid of having her heart broken again.
She goes by the window and she sees his house. Lucas Scott was her neighbour and that's why it was so difficult to forget him back then. She used to see him 24 hours a day, on the way to school, at school, on the way back and she could see him in his room from her bedroom window. She had passed long hours in front of that window, hoping to see him, to catch his beautiful eyes, to get a smile from him. She was looking at the street when she saw him getting out of his house. He was even hotter than back then if it was even possible. She quickly runs down the stairs to find Brooke and Haley.
"Oh ………… My …………… God!"
"What's up Peyton?" Brooke asks.
"You didn't tell me he was living here" She responds with a shocked expression on her face.
"Who are you talking about?"
"Lucas Scott. THE Lucas Scott! I just saw Lucas Scott getting out of his house."
"Oh him! He moved back a week ago. Did I forget to tell you that?" Brooke says with an innocent smile.
"Yeah, you forgot but anyway I don't know why I'm reacting this way. It' not a big deal." She says, trying to convince herself.
"Not a big deal! Do you really believe I'm gonna bye that? You were so in love with him for God knows how long."
"Yeah, well that was in the past and it's over. I'm not in love with him anymore."
"Yeah, well when you'll bump into him he will so sorry he didn't date you."
"Please, have you seen him? He can have any girl he wants."
"But you can get any guy you want"
"Yeah... Anyway I'm gonna go finish unpacking." Peyton walks back up to her room.
"What was that about?" Haley asks
"Lucas Scott, who else?"
