'KAREN!" Peyton yelled as her and lily walked into the house. "were home!"
Karen gasped when she heard them and then ran to the door.
"um is everything ok." Peyton laghed as she took off hers and lily's jacket.
"yeah but I'm super busy how about you two go to the river court or to haleys or something give me some quiet time." Karen said as she rushed them out the door.
"uh yeah but I'm in high heals and a skirt could i get changed first."Peyton asked as she got pushed out the door literally.
"go to haley's where some\things of hers i just really need this time." Karen grunted as she finally got out the door, and then quickly slammed it behind her and locked the door.
"weirdo." Lily said.
"tell me about it." Peyton said confused as she put Lily back in her car seat of the back of the comet.
Back in the house.
"your so lucky your my son."Karen said to the blonde boy standing in front of her.
"i'm lucky i wanted to see her."Lucas said laughing.
"by her do you mean Lily or Peyton."Karen said rubbing her eyes in frustration.
"both." Lucas said as his voiced cracked.
"Luke, i don't know she has made a good life here." Karen said.
"and you think i want to ruin that."Lucas said hurt.
"your going to put a huge obstacle in it." Karen said taking a seat beside lucas.
"she has been staying here?" Lucas said.
"yeah her dad sold her house and she and lily had grown so close and she helps me out so much i asked her to move in." Karen explained.
"who knew in 4 years so much could change." Lucas said sadly.
" Luke if you want to get back to her just do it right your the only thing missing in her perfect life." Karen
said trying to cheer her son up.
" do i still have my room?" Lucas said hoping he had a place to stay.
" depends how long your staying." Karen said jokingly.
"i'm here for good." Lucas sighed.
Karen was shocked by the words "for good."
"um well then your room is still there peyton she couldn't stay in there so her and lily were to switch rooms but they ended up sharing a room." Karen said fake laughing.
"i didn't know how much i hurt her." Lucas said sadly.
"well all i know is some where in there she still loves you luke god knows why but she does even though she pushes the question over all the time." Karen said.
"Pushes the question over?" Lucas said confused.
"well the one who always asks if she still loves you is Nathan they spend a lot of time together these days since Nathan's accident, anyways he asks and she never answers she has never said no luke, but she also has never said yes." Karen patted Luke on his back and gave him a kiss on his cheek, then headed to her bed room then closed her door behind her.
Luke head span with thoughts, he got up and worked his way to his room.
when he entered his room it was just the same as it was 4 years ago. He could smell peyton he looked over to the bed side table to see piles of drawings. But one stuck out it was a red heart with flames around it and instead of a 3 in the center it said NO!. He felt as his heart just skipped a beat.
"i said someday." Lucas whispered to himself.
He then looked uo to his dresser there was his basket ball and his novel open with a book mark. He walked over and saw the page that was opened.
"and from that moment i know i would always love Peyton sawyer!"
Lucas then felt his heart sink, then he heard the door open to his room he turned around to see Brooke
sitting on his bed looking over the pictures spread across the bed.
"she told me she comes in here a lot." Brooke said softly.
" i thought you two stopped talking." Lucas said joining her on the bed.
" for a while but a month ago she called." Brooke smiled remembering the day it made her life feel so much warmer to hear from her best friend.
"why didn't you tell me." Lucas said hurt.
"she told me not to." Brooke said bluntly.
"why tell me now." Lucas said confused.
" i don't know you just seem confused."
"well what did she say."Luke said curious.
"she said she had been living here for the past 2 and a half years, you know after the whole proposal drama, she said she stayed in the guest room with lily, and she and lily ad grown extremely close and that she had turned into her whole world but sometimes it hurt because she reminded her of you, i asked her about your room, she said she couldn't stay in it but when she felt lost or empty she would go in and read your book over and over again or draw to express her anger and sadness towards you, but she sometimes would pretend its high school again when she was lost with... uh life." Brooke explained lost in her last words.
" i have to go." Lucas jumped off the bed and headed to the river court.
mean while at the river court.
Peyton and lily were at the rivercourt with Nathan and Jamie and Haley. Nathan and the kids were playing basket ball, and Haley and Peyton sat and watched and talked on the picnic table in track pants having coffee.
Everyone was enjoying themselves but then from a distance peyton heard this thumping.
she looked over and saw a tall boy with a grey sweat shirt dribbling the ball with his head down drowning in his music coming from his ipod. Peyton would never forget this sight never in a million years, but then again she saw it all the time and it was never real. But this time it felt so real that it scared her she quickly turned to haley.
"look." Those were the only words she could find.
Haley jolted her over to see the exact same thing.
"tell me it isn't." Peyton said with a shakey voice.
"it --
