Again, I want you to know that my story is not 100% accurate based on the actual TV series, One Tree Hill. The main character's ages are going to be changed so they are similar to fit my story line. ALSO! I know this is a long chapter, but I'm still deciding the length each of these will be. I own absolutely nothing (sadly) and most of my work is credited to the crew of OTH, the other parts being my individual ideas.
Just saying this chapter is pretty short, but shorter chapters mean I can update it much faster!
Lydia laid on her bed facing away from her door, rethinking all that had just happened. Were she and Davis really not good for each other? Lydia's thoughts scattered away when she heard her bedroom door open. She didn't bother to roll over to see who it was. She knew it was her mom, because after every fight she always tried to make things better.
"Lydia?"
"Yes?" she quietly replied.
"Look honey, I know you love Davis. But maybe some time apart would be good for you two."
"But what if it's so good for Davis that he moves on and we never get back together? Because he definitely could get a new girlfriend but who would want to date the principal's daughter?"
"Things will probably work out, they always do."
"I'm just going to sleep the rest of my life away."
"Okay I'll see you tomorrow morning. Goodnight Lyds."
"Goodnight, mom."
"Have you heard from your brother?" Brooke asked Davis as he walked into the kitchen the next morning.
"Would it be a good or a bad thing if I had?"
She gave him a dirty glare and said nothing.
"Okay, I just know he was pretty hammered last night and called me to ask me to pick him up."
"And you said no?"
"Yes because the last time I said yes I got in trouble for being out past curfew and I told him to call you or dad, I guess he never did."
"Do you know who he was with or where he was?"
Before Davis could respond to the question they heard the from door quietly close.
"Jude, is that you?" Brooke yelled.
Jude slowly walked in, his hair was messed up and there were bags under his eyes.
"Dude I can smell your hangover!" Davis laughed.
"Davis go get ready for school."
Davis got up and walked around the doorway to the next room so he could listen.
"Jude Victor Baker where the hell were you last night." Brooke sternly yelled.
"Mom can you keep it down a little, please?"
"I'm doing it on purpose!" she yelled once more.
"I was at a party."
"How old are you?"
"Mom, you know how old I am." Jude whined.
"Yes, you're right, I do know how old you are. You are 16-as of 4 days ago. And in case you don't remember in your drunken lust, you are 5 years short of being legally allowed to consume alcohol."
"How about I just go up to my room and sleep and we pretend this never happened?"
"Not without a punishment first."
"Trust me mom, this hangover is punishment enough."
Then Julian walked into the kitchen, and was surprised at what he saw. "Well, well. If it isn't my not-so-sneaky son."
"Julian," Brooke paused, "What should his punishment be?"
He then scanned his son up and down, "what's your outlook on all of this, boozy?"
"Seriously this hangover is enough."
"I don't think so...how about you go to school?"
"Dad are you serious?" Jude exclaimed.
"Come on big brother, let's not be late!" Davis smiled as he popped back in.
Jude slept the whole ride to school, and when they pulled into a parking spot, Davis slammed the breaks and woke him up. Still groggy, Jude got out of the car and waited for his brother.
"Ah," Davis said as he saw his brother, "so you're actually waiting for me today?"
"I'm not even in the mood to defend myself."
"Props to you for taking a shower though, that takes a lot of strength."
Jude mockingly laughed at his brother as they made their way through the quad and until Lydia suddenly stopped them. By her side was someone neither of the two had ever seen. The girl had long, wavy, brown hair, and beautiful green eyes. One look of this girl was all it took to snap Jude right out of his hangover.
"Hey babe, my mom will get really mad if she sees me talking to you, but do either of you have first period Algebra 2 with or maybe just a class somewhere near it?"
"That's my class!" Jude responded before Davis had a chance.
"Great can you show my friend here the way? Of course you can...bye!" and Lydia quickly rushed away.
"I'm gonna head to my class. See ya." Davis said before walking towards the building.
Jude gave the girl a sweet smile, "I'm Jude by the way. Where you transferring from?"
"It's really far," she responded, "so where is this class?"
"It's down the main hallway and then you take a left, it's the first room but I can take you so-""Thanks see ya!"
And with that Jude was left to hurry to class by himself.
Jude entered the classroom, and the first thing he noticed was that the girl wasn't even in there.
"Mrs.B, where's the new girl? I was supposed to take her here but she kinda rushed away and now I don't know where she went."
"It's alright Jude, she just went to the bathroom. Now go sit down."
Class was halfway over and she still had not returned. Jude stood and walked over to the teacher's desk.
"Can I use the restroom?"
"Are you sure you can't wait until class is over?"
"That wouldn't have a very good turnout."
"Make it quick." the teacher sighed.
Jude made his way down the hall towards the restroom, and halted in front of the door what said 'Women'. He gently pushed the door open and saw the girl sitting on the floor listening to music.
"Is anyone else in here?" he quietly asked.
The girl jumped, "can't you read? This is clearly the girl's bathroom!"
"Answer my question." Jude demanded.
"No, it's just me."
Jude walked in and locked the door, "mind if I join you?"
"Join me in what?"
"Skipping."
"Whatever."
"So can I get your name?"
Before she could respond, the bell rang. "Gotta go," she smiled as she quickly unlocked the door and left.
"Talk about deja vu," Jude muttered to himself.
Okay, I know the story is really REALLY slow now (and my writing has greatly improves eventually, please be patient!)
Reviews are my favorite, and they'll greatly improve the story.
