Chapter Two: Wanna Play a Game?
"Hello Peyton," the girl had a smile on her face. "You want to play a game?"
"Who are you?" Peyton asked backing in to the wall, she saw a rat run pass her causing her to scream once more. "Why are you doing this for?"
"Are you really surprised this is happening?" the girl asked crossing her arms. "I mean come on it was just a matter of time. I mean with two dead mother, a psycho after you not once but twice, getting shot in the leg and so on. I am surprised this hasn't happened yet."
"To be honest so am I," Peyton sighed. "So what game are we playing?"
"A game," the girl smiled. "By the way I am Lou, but you can call me 'The Lou'."
"The Lou?" Peyton kinked up her eyebrow.
"Do you have a problem with that?" Lou clicked a button.
Peyton began to get electrocuted, "What the hell? This is no way to treat Lucas' baby mama!"
"Since when were you all hood?" Lou asked rolling her eyes. "Leave the gangster talk to Skillz, you just stick to 'Who pissed in your cheerios?'"
"Gosh, you don't have to be such a bitch," Peyton began to cry. "I mean had to go to two dead moms, an absentee dad, a drunken long lost father, getting shot in my leg, psycho Derek, finding…" Peyton felt herself being zapped again.
"If I let you continue we will be here all day," Lou sighed. "Now on to the first game. You have to get the key that lies behind that match box which his blazing hot. While you are doing this, the walls will be slowly closing in on you. Here's the catch you have to do all of this, without crying."
"Come on," Peyton placed her hands on her hips. "We all know that is impossible. This is basically suicide."
"Well your choice," Lou shrugged, she could really care less. "Let the game begin."
Peyton tried to run to the match box, she was a couple of feet away from it when she felt something pull tight on her legs causing her to trip and fall. She looked down at the chain on her leg and realized it wasn't long enough to get to the match box.
"Damn, isn't that just like me to forget," Lou laughed shaking her head. "Well, I am off to get some Dunkaroos, see you later Peyt-ho."
"Wait, come back!" Peyton yelled. "Damn. People really do always leave."
Lou walked in to the restaurant wearing a long yellow dress, she smiled as she saw Julian waiting for her at the table. She told him she would meet him at the restaurant instead since she was a little occupied. Julian got up and pulled out her seat to which Lou smiled and sat down.
"You look great tonight," Julian smiled at her, causing Lou to blush.
"You don't look so bad yourself." Lou winked at him.
"Don't be afraid to order anything," Julian handed her the menu. "I think I can afford it."
"Don't worry, I'm not spoiled," Lou looked down at the menu, everything was expensive. "Well, I guess tonight I am going to be a spoiled brat."
Julian began to laugh, he stopped when he heard her cell phone ring. Lou looked down at screen and saw that Corey was calling her.
"I'm sorry I have to take this," Lou got up from the table and walked outside. "Hey, what's up?
"Lucas and Brooke are back together," Corey squealed over the phoned. "It won't be long until the cops start looking for Peyton, if they even try to, you know this is Tree Hill. So, we have to get out of here."
"But I am with Julian," Lou groaned.
"Well, it's him or jail," Corey shrugged as if Lou could see her over the phone. "It's only for a little while until the heat dies down."
"Fine," Lou hung up her cell phone and walked back in the resturant. "Julian, I am sorry, but I have to go. It's not the time for this right now."
Lou walked out the resturant, she had tears rolling down her eyes. She didn't want to look back, it would only make it harder for her to go. She felt someone grab her and turn her around, she looked in to Julian eyes and realized they were no more than a couple of inches apart. Julian leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips.
Lou wrapped her arms around his neck, she liked the feeling of his warm sensual lips on hers. She pulled back and smiled, he leaned his forehead against her and sighed.
"Do you really have to go?" Julian pleaded with her.
"I've done some things Julian," Lou felt Julian wipe the tears from her eyes. "Things I am not proud of, but I have to get out of here before I get caught."
"So I'll go with you," Julian told her. "Wherever you go, that's where I want to be."
"Julian this is crazy," Lou shook her head. "We just met, we can't run off together."
"Crazier things has happened on this show."
"You know what?" Lou looked up at him once more. "You're right. Take me away Julian, somewhere far and quiet. Where we can start a family, two girls and a boy."
"You got it," Julian placed another kiss on her lips. "Let's go."
Five years later
"Corey," Lou ran in to Corey's arm and hugged her. "I haven't seen you in so long. How have you been? Did you do something with your hair, it's so bouncy?"
"I know it's been so long," Corey agreed with Lou. "And I just changed shampoos, this one is working wonders on my hair. It gives it that extra shine."
"It does," Lou agreed. "So where's the mister?"
"He couldn't make it," Corey shrugged. "He had to work. Where's Julian?"
"He's with the twins and little Marco," Lou sighed. "They're coming right now, the twins were acting crazy so he had to give them a time out."
"Shai and Amanda sound just like their mom," Corey laughed as Lou punched her in the arm. "That so wasn't necessary. Did you see Brooke yet? She looks absolutely stunning, her wedding dress is to die for. Lucas is also looking extra fine."
"Didn't we have this talk?" Lou kinked her eyebrow, laughing.
"I would never go after Lucas," Corey rolled her eyes. "I am not she who shall not be named. So are you going to train your kids to be little assassin and go after crazy people like Peyton."
"No, they don't need to know what mommy used to do."
"So who drove here?"
"Julian."
"Nice call," Corey laughed. "We couldn't have another Safari incident."
"Gosh Corey that was one time," Lou crossed her arms. "You're never going to let me live that down."
"Nope," Corey shook her head. "And what about that 'lady who jumped in front of your car.' Also that poor snowman, he was going to live through New Years until that faithful day."
"She did jump in front of my car," Lou glared at Corey. "And we promised to never bring up Snowy again."
"Okay," Corey laughed shaking her head. She glanced as a two little boy ran in front of her. "Jamie, Keith, what are you doing running outside? The weddings about to start. And Keith you are the ring bearer, you can't get your tie dirty like that. Come here and let me clean it off."
"Coming aunt Corey," Keith was four years old. Corey and Lou were his godmothers. Haley and Brooke was the godmothers to their children, so they had a competition on who could spoil their godchild the most. So far, Brooke was winning.
"Jamie, you know your mom don't like you wandering off," Lou warned Jamie smiling. "Let's get inside and save a seat for uncle Julian and the kids."
"Not so fast!"
Lou and Corey turned around startled, when they saw it was only Brooke they laughed and let a huge sigh. They hugged the brunette in front of them and smiled, they had missed her so much. They haven't seen each other in months.
"So how's my niece doing in there?" Brooke asked rubbing Corey's belly.
"Well Maranda, she's a kicker," Corey sighed. "How's my nephew doing in there?"
"He's a kicker too," Brooke laughed. "Maybe they could be on the soccer team together."
"Oh, you bet."
"Well I ain't having no more kids," Lou threw up her hands. "Three is enough."
"So Lou," Brooke crossed her arms. "Ever going to tell Luke and I what happened to Peyton?"
"She's alright," Lou shrugged. "That's all you have to know. Also, the kid wasn't Lucas' so he won't have to worry about child suppot."
Brooke shook her head, she hugged her two friends again and lifted up Keith.
"Mommy's getting married," she told Keith who smiled. "Let's not keep daddy waiting, he might start thinking I am trying to pull an aunt Lindsey."
