Disclaimer: Neither Miss Kirstie, nor Lor-na-na, own OTH or any of its characters. Which is a shame; because there are all sorts of things we'd do with those Tree Hill boys if we did.
(Silly me forgot the disclaimer on chapter one. We didn't own OTH then either.)
Chapter 2
Lucas and Peyton live in Tree Hill. The two of them had been dating for four years and fought all the time but they were madly in love with each other. She a successful promoter, and Lucas a writer and part-time basketball coach, enjoyed their life and each other. When Peyton's brother, Derek left the army - he moved to Tree Hill to become a police officer and had bonded with Peyton and she adored her big brother. He and Lucas also became very close and he was asked to be best man at his wedding and Peyton was maid of honour. They had a great family life. Past troubles had scarred Peyton - she had her moments of weakness but Luke was always there - loving her and protecting her. Lucas' little sister Jamie adored Peyton - they spent time together a great deal, drawing and listening to music. Jamie was quite a talented little girl for five and she had a mop of dark curls like her mommy. Of course Lucas idolises Jamie and they are incredibly close. This is the life that Peyton had always dreamed of - it's just a shame that Jamie's daddy and Luke's Uncle Keith was not there to share it with them. Karen had never found anyone new - she just enjoyed her daughter, her son and her life. Things had turned around for the Roe/Scott/Sawyers and it was a good turn.
They are both getting ready for Luke's sister-in-law and best friend Haley's birthday party.
Lucas is in the shower and Peyton is putting in her earrings.
She was shouting to him. "Hurry up, Scott!. We have 20 minutes to get there and you're not even out of the shower. LUCAS!!!! COME ON"
"What?????" he replied.
"GET OUT OF THE SHOWER!!!" She yelled.
He appeared about 5 minutes later in a towel. He was such a handsome young man and Peyton was still so in love with him.
"Why aren't you ready?" she asked.
"Oh shut up Peyton" he replied. "You're always nagging, woman!"
"Don't start" she replied.
They always, ALWAYS argued.
Peyton was a busy woman. She had so much in her life. Her boyfriend, her best friends - Brooke and Haley, although they were now in Charlotte they met up every week for lunch and came over for dinner. She was promoting bands and also curated a small gallery.
Haley had been in a terrible state since her break up with Nathan and Brooke and Peyton were her rocks. Lucas spent a lot of time writing but loved to go the Rivercourt to teach his little sister to shoot hoops. Nathan and Lucas were very close although with his career he didn't see as much of him as he'd like. Nathan was in the NBA and had moved around a lot. He was supported by Lucas in the awful mess that he and Haley had gotten into.
"For God's sake Lucas - I do not NAG!" she retorted. "I just want you to get dressed so we can GO"
Lucas was grinning at her in that sexy grin that ALWAYS made her melt.
"STOP IT. Lucas!!!! Come on we have to get going."
"Do you really want me to get dressed?" he asked, rubbing Peyton's slender shoulders. And started to kiss the back of her neck.
"Lucas, no. We have to mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - you are awful." She turned round and kissed him.
And a while later Lucas and Peyton STILL hadn't left the house!!!
"Lucas - we need to leave" said Peyton.
"Five more minutes" he replied snuggling into her blonde curls.
"Lucas, it's Haley's birthday - and we are late. She'll be there before us" "OK - I will tear myself away from you - but only for Hales" - he replied.
The two of them got into the car and set off for Haley's birthday party. Brooke had arranged a surprise party at the cafe and Haley was clueless about it. It had been so hard keeping it from her. Many times Jamie had nearly spilt the beans - she was ONLY 5. She'd got every excited about balloons and music in her mommy's cafe and asked if they were having cake and jello. She was an adorable little girl with big blue eyes and dark hair like her daddy.
"Hey, mom!!" shouted Lucas as he and Peyton walked into the cafe.
"Luke" screamed Jamie leaping into her brother's arms. "Kiss, Peyton" she said.
And Peyton kissed the gorgeous little girl and put her arms around her and Lucas. "Hi honey"
Karen appeared through the crowd of people. "You're late!!!" she mockingly told them.
And Peyton just stood with a guilty look on her face. "Hi Peyton" said Karen, smirking and giving her a big hug.
"Be right back, mom, come on you" - he said to his mom and Jamie.
They're late, too" said Peyton. "What time did Brooke say they were setting off?"
"About an hour ago" said Karen. "Brooke had awful trouble getting her to get ready" - "She's very down" continued Karen. "I hope she'll be ok, she's been through enough, what with the baby and everything"
"I know" replied Peyton.
Lucas was in a crowd of guys with his little sister on his shoulders and they were all hugging him and congratulating him. Lucas had just won a writing award for an article he wrote about HCM. It was quite an honour and the ceremony was in a couple of weeks. Peyton was very proud of him - and looked on and smiled.
"Peyton Sawyer" - shouted Skillz. He walked over and gave her a huge hug.
"Well, if it isn't the man himself" she replied.
"You are looking fine, sugar" he continued. "And how's our blondie getting on with da tunes and pictures, baby?"
"It's all good, Skillz. The gallery is great, signed a few ones up last week, life is chaos you know Luke and I - CHAOS JUNKIES!!!!"
Everyone was there. But one person hadn't arrived. Nathan. Lucas had invited him to what he thought was a bball reunion but things are never quite what they seem...
Please: R&R
Promise: Drama, Drama, Drama!
