Once we finally got to Brooke's house I nearly wanted to jump out of the car and strangle her, but I held my ground. Once we pulled up Brooke was running out the front door. I got out of the car and we hugged.

"I missed you P. Sawyer," she said.

"I missed you too, B. Davis," I smiled. Lucas walked into the house and left Brooke and I behind.

"Okay, now I'm going to kill you," I said.

"Peyton, he wanted to pick you up, what was I supposed to do," she said.

"SAY NO," I yelled.

"So I'm taking it, it didn't go well," she smirked.

"It didn't go anywhere," I said and went to retrieve my bags from the back seat.

"Peyton, there's something else." She said nervously.

"And what would that be?" I asked yanking my bags from the two seats it was stuck between.

"So there was kind of a freak accident and your room is kind of flooded." She said. I stopped trying to get my bags and turned to face her. "Ok, don't freak out but you're staying with Karen." She said with her eyes closed.

"Brooke," I said irritated.

"I know, I know okay, but Lucas won't be there and it will be just Karen and Lily," she said.

"If I have to sleep in his room or his old room or whatever, I'm going to make these next three weeks hell for you," I joked.

"Okay," she laughed. We both headed into the house, where Haley, Nathan, Jaime, Lucas, and Chase were all there. I was greeted by all my friends and it felt good to be home again for the time being. We all got caught up and had a nice big supper. We were sitting around the table talking when Haley asked, "So Peyton are you seeing anyone?"

"Umm no I'm not," I smiled and looked at Lucas who was looking at me and then looked away. There was a long silence and nobody knew what to say. We were all looking down when the doorbell rang and Haley went to get it. Haley walked in with someone I haven't seen before and she went over to Lucas and gave him a kiss. "Lindsey, this is Peyton," he said. Haley was retrieving people's dishes and I said, "Hi."

"Oh my gosh, it's so nice to finally meet you," she said. "I can't believe I'm sitting in front of Peyton Sawyer from the book." God damn it, that stupid ass book, why did he have to write it and why was this bitch bringing it up. I looked at Brooke and gave her a get me out of here look.

"Ok, well I bet Peyton's tired from the long flight, so I will give you a ride," she said. I nodded my head and got up. "Well, it was so nice to meet you Peyton, we will have to do lunch some time," she said. Oh hell no was I going to have lunch with you. "Yes we will have to do that," I said as fake as I could and Lucas noticed as I turned away. I said goodbye to everyone and left with Brooke.

"I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that he was with someone," she said as we drove to Karen's.

"You should of but it's ok," I said.

"No it's not P. Sawyer, but they've been dating for about a year and she's his editor and that's about it," she said grabbing my hand.

"Well they must have a pretty charmed life if that's about it," I said. She laughed and we pulled up to the house. We got my bags out of the car and said our goodbyes for now. I waved as she drove off and a tear slid down my face. He's seeing someone, he moved on, he loves someone and I have no one. Why did he have to write that stupid book about me? How can I forget something that is written on paper that I have about 5 copies of? Has he forgotten what we had because I sure didn't? I made my way to Karen's front door and knocked. She opened it and greeted me with arms wide open.

"You look amazing," she said.

"Thank you and thank you for letting me stay." I said.

"No problem, but you're probably tired so I'll let you unpack. You know where Lucas's old room is right?" she asked. Brooke is so dead the next time I see her.

"Yeah, I remember," I said and grabbed my bags.

"I'll see you in the morning," she said and went into the kitchen. I made my way to his room and opened the door hoping that it was different. To my surprise it wasn't. It was the same as the last time I saw it. The stupid bed were we would make out was the hardest seeing. Damn you Lucas Scott!
