Hello Yesterday ch 2. The Way Old Friends Do
Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own One Tree Hill Thank you for all reading this. But if you don't mind, PLEASE LEAVE REVIEWS. I kinda need them to know what you think. I mean if the story's awful, I wanna put it out of it's misery, not drag it along haha. Anyways here we go enjoy!
Peyton stood smiling giving an emphatic wave with every one of her fingers. Lucas stood next to her, arms crossed over his chest with a small smirk on his face. The kind of smirk you'd have after playing a prank or after you hid behind a door and jumped out yelling 'boo' and scaring someone. Cause that's exactly how Haley looked. Confused like someone's playing a trick on her and startled like she'd just seen a ghost, actually two ghosts. There was silence between the two couples for a second, before Nathan turned and looked at Haley, who still sat agape, and smiled because his surprise obviously worked, then turned back to his brother and sister-in law. "Hey guys." he said with a chuckle
"Hey Nate." Peyton smiled at him "Hi Haley." Peyton said casually, "What's with the face, you seen a ghost or something?" she held back a laugh
Hearing her name snapped her out of her trace. "Uh- Hey!" she laughed
"She speaks!" Lucas said dramatically as he and Peyton stepped inside and moved toward to exchange hugs
"I'm just surprised, to see you guys!" Haley smiled as she hugged Peyton and Lucas hugged Nathan "Where's Sawyer?"
"Hanging with her big cousin Jaime." Peyton said over Haley's shoulder as they hugged
" Oh And Mouth and Skills were there too." Lucas added teasingly as he went over and hugged Haley after Peyton had went over to hug Nathan.
"Now J-Luc you sure you wanna do this?" Skills said as he finished smearing a line of black paint underneath his right eye just like he'd done to the left. While Mouth pushed the couch into the corner so they'd have plenty of room.
"No the question is do you wanna do this, Uncle Skills." Jaime said looking competitive with a set of black lines underneath his own eyes the way a professional hockey player would.
"I don't know Jaime, me and Skills make a pretty good team." Mouth said, working on his own 'eye black'
"We're not scared. Right Sawyer?" Jaime addressed a 2 year old Sawyer who nodded in return.
"Alright then, let's do dis." Skills said and grabbed the hockey sticks out of the closet and handed everyone including himself, a stick, giving Sawyer a small plastic one.
Mouth dropped a rubber ball, they were using as a puck, onto the floor. Then placed his stick on one side of the ball. Then Jaime led Sawyer toward the middle of the room, directly in front of Mouth and helped her position her hockey stick on the other side of the ball. Mouth looked down at Sawyer and Sawyer brushed her blond bangs out of her face and looked back up at Mouth.
The two stood staring at each other in a face off position.
Mouth tapped his stick off the floor and Sawyer did the same. "Grr." Mouth said and Sawyer scowled "Sawyer I'm just pretending." Mouth pacified
"Me too." Sawyer said simply then flashing a smile before scowling again.
"You can do it Sawyer." Jaime encouraged
"C'mon man." Skills clapped eagerly
"I got this." Mouth said as the door opened he turned and looked to see who it was. "Hi Millie." he said as he saw her walk in the door, but what he didn't see was Sawyer, as she hit the ball and it rolled between Mouth's legs and into one of the laundry baskets laying on its side acting as a goal.
"Yes!" Jaime cheered as he ran over to Sawyer. "Good job Sawyer. High five." he held up his hand and her tiny hand clapped against his palm. The two cousins then turned and simultaneously stuck their tongues out at Skills.
"Mouth! Man, how the hell you miss that?" Skills asked in disbelief to Mouth who was now by the door talking to Millicent.
"Miss what?" Mouth asked obliviously, craning his neck towards Skills
"A two year old scoring on you." Skills said flatly
"Oh, just got distracted I guess." Mouth said turning back to Mille and smiled.
"Marvin, is that.. shoe polish?" Millie asked brushing a thumb under Mouth's eye.
" So What are you guys doing here? Not that I'm not happy to see you." Haley smiled
"Nathan called us." Peyton said
"He did?" Haley said looking between Peyton and Lucas.
"Yep. I'm the Haley- sitter." Lucas smiled
"What?" Haley asked as she looked at Nathan who just smiled at her. "Best surprise ever."
"And speaking of surprises," Peyton segued "Haley you look-"
"Be nice." Lucas jokingly warned which earned him a slap on the leg from Haley and a elbow in the side from Peyton
"I was gonna say, 'you look awesome'." Peyton said
"You don't have to be that nice Peyton." Haley chuckled
"No seriously you do, I mean as awesome as anyone can look when their sick, but as for Naley Baby number 2, you can't even tell."
"Oh yes you can." Haley rubbed her stomach
"Well your stomach yeah, but for the most part you're one kick ass pregnant lady." Peyton said and Haley laughed. " I mean, when I was carrying Sawyer I was as big as a house." Peyton said and Lucas laughed "You could disagree with me you know." she said to her husband
"I could." Lucas nodded, which earned him an offended gasp and another smack from Peyton. "I'm kidding, besides, all women look beautiful when their pregnant."
"Aww." Peyton and Haley chorused and Nathan rolled his eyes good naturedly as he slipped on his suit jacket.
"You know, as much as I'd like to stay and watch 'I Love Lucas' I have a flight to catch." Nathan slid by Lucas and Peyton who were standing by the bed and he leaned in to give Haley a kiss but she turned her head away, and he pulled back confused. "What?"
"I don't want you to get sick."
" Haley, I've been in the same room with you, I've been in the same bed with you. And I've been around you the whole time. At this point, If I get sick, I get sick."
"But it's not a sure thing, If I kiss you, it'll be a sure thing."
Nathan had to smile at her concern for him "Okay." he gave up, and leaned back in to kiss her cheek, but at the last second gave her a peck on the lips instead and pulled away quickly.
"Hey!" Haley said
"Oops." Nathan shrugged innocently
"Yeah oops." Haley said sarcastically smiling despite herself. "Well since it's inevitable …" she simpered as she grabbed Nathan's tie and lightly pulled him down to her eye level and kissed him.
A few seconds passed, then a few more and Lucas cleared his throat, a little uncomfortable watching his brother and his best friend/ sister in law, make out. The two remained kissing and Lucas cleared his throat again, a little louder.
"Luke?" Peyton said and Lucas looked at her and she grabbed his face and pressed her lips against his.
"Okay we get the point." Nathan jokingly grimaced in disgust at the pair as he pulled back from Haley and stood up straight, knocking over the infamous alarm clock in the process. "This thing does not wanna stay on the night stand." Nathan stated as he knelt down to get it as it had now fallen behind the bed. "Got it….Hey look what I found." he said as he pulled the alarm clock out from behind the bed. He placed the clock back on the night stand and showcased what he had in his other hand. A multicolored bracelet. He got to his feet then slipped the bracelet onto Haley's wrist "Don't say I never gave you anything." he smiled
"Oh you've given me plenty." Haley said cheekily, and placed her hand on her stomach and Nathan smiled then took his phone out of his pocket as it vibrated, a text from Clay.
"I'll call you when I get there." Nathan kissed her forehead.
"Okay, be careful."
"I will. I love you."
"I love you too." Haley said
Nathan then turned to Lucas and Peyton. "Take care of her."
Lucas placed his hand on his brother's shoulder and gave a solemn nod "Bye Nate." Peyton said.
"Bye." he said as he walked out of the room.
"Hey Haley, I saw that piano, when we came in. Very Justin Fleming. Kind of an aberrant aesthetic feel to it. Do you mind if I take a few pictures? I think it'll look great in the art studio." Peyton said pulling out her camera phone.
"Art Studio?" Haley asked
"Yeah, at the house. Luke has his office where he writes and I've been drawing a lot more lately, and he wanted me to have my own space. Plus I can listen to The Cure all I want, without having to hear him complain." Peyton elaborated and Lucas rolled his eyes at her last comment.
"Oh well in that case, go 'head." Haley said and Peyton went downstairs.
"So, you wanna explain the piano?" Lucas ventured taking a seat at the edge of the bed
Haley sighed before reluctantly replying "I set it on fire."
"Go through a Pyro phase?" He said half-joking
Haley chuckled lightly "No. Just had a rough transition after my mom died."
Lucas nodded in understanding as his heart tightened with guilt. "Yeah about that, Hales I'm really sorry we didn't come back for the funeral. It's just that, Sawyer was sick and Peyton and I were freaking out and-"
"Luke, it's okay. I know you would have been here if you could've been."
"I definitely would've." he emphasized "Speaking of which, I got your letters. I missed you too, buddy." he smiled and Haley smiled back as Peyton came back into the room.
"Okay I got the pictures. Thanks Haley." Peyton said and Haley flashed her a smile and gave her a thumbs up " Alright babe, I'm taking off." she addressed Lucas
"You taking the car?" Lucas asked as he stood up and walked over to his wife
"Yeah, but Nathan's is still here, he got picked up, and the keys are in the kitchen." Peyton said as she wrapped her arms around Lucas' neck.
"Wait I thought you were gonna stay here." Haley said confused
"Nope, that's all Lucas." Peyton clarified and Lucas nodded in an official manner "Aside from coming down here to keep an eye on you. We decided to have a best friend day, to just, you know, check in. So I'm gonna go meet up with Brooke."
"Aw Peyt I'm sorry. She's outta town." Haley said sympathetically
"Outta town?" Peyton asked quizzically
"Yeah, her and Julian. He called us this morning and let us know." Haley explained
Lucas squinted in perplexity "But we saw-"
"I know what's going on." Peyton with a shrewd smile
"What?" Lucas inquired wanting to know what was happening.
By way of answering, Peyton moved in closer and kissed Lucas. "Bye." she whispered against his lips as she retracted her face away from his, her arms still wrapped around him.
"Where ya goin?" Haley asked.
"Outta town." Peyton said in a sing song voice letting hers hands travel down Lucas' back till they hit the back pockets of his jeans, she slid her hand inside, till her fingers graced the metallic edges of the car keys, she pulled them out with a smile, before giving him another quick kiss. "Bye Haley." she said
"Bye." Haley chuckled shaking her head at her friends antics.
"I'll be back later." Peyton called as she left.
"My wife." Lucas said trying his best to inflect an over-exerted tone in his voice as he carded his fingers through his hair.
"Oh you love every minute of it." Haley said, unconvinced by anything to the contrary
"Yeah I do." Lucas admitted
"I know you do. Mr. Peyton Sawyer." Haley teased
"Ha ha." Lucas said sarcastically with a smile. "Well, it's nice to know you're still here. If were 10, you would've snuck out by now."
"Why does everyone keep mentioning that?" Haley groaned exasperatedly
"Well it's kinda hard to forget Hales, it was picture day." Lucas laughed a little as he thought of Haley's yearbook photo with her puffed face, courtesy of her case of the mumps.
"Oh yeah!" Haley's eyes widened in remembrance "Thank God Quinn didn't bring that up." she said relieved.
"Yeah it'd be pretty embarrassing if Nathan heard about that." he paused, and grinned "or saw that."
Haley gasped, "Lucas Eugene Scott you wouldn't dare!" she slapped him on the arm "Wait a minute, we both burned our 5th grade yearbooks when we turned 15. Because of my picture, and because that was the year you started to 'become a man' and your face broke out." Haley snickered
"Yeah." Lucas sighed, drawing the word out. "But before we did, I cut out a few pictures and saved them." he smirked.
"So did I. One of them was yours." Haley smirked back. "And not to mention the other millions of pictures I have from when we were younger."
They sat staring at each other, waiting to see who would blink first. "Fine truce," Lucas conceded "As long as you never show Peyton those. In fact no one sees those."
"Truce," Haley nodded "As long as you never show anyone either."
"Umm Peyton's already seen the yearbook photo." Lucas said sheepishly and Haley huffed and crossed her arms. "I'm sorry Hales! She found it when she was cleaning."
"Eh it's fine. Nathan's seen yours too." she said and Lucas scowled "We're even." she smiled
"Fine, just them and no one else." Lucas said
"Deal."
"Deal." Lucas echoed and high fived Haley.
Julian and Brooke laid in bed with the sheets haphazardly wrapped around them. Brooke's head resting on Julian's naked chest as he lazily combed his fingers through her brown hair. He ducked his head and kissed her bare shoulder that was peeking out from underneath the sheets. Brooke moaned at the touch and he smiled "Are you enjoying yourself Brooke?" he asked rhetorically
Brooke sighed contently breathing in the scent of vanilla from the candles Julian had lit earlier. "Yes. This is the best hotel I've ever stayed at. And trust me, that's saying a lot."
Julian laughed "Well is there anything I can do to make your stay more pleasurable?" he whispered suggestively into her ear.
"Well there is one thing." Brooke said coyly raising her head and looking into Julian's eyes.
Julian quirked an eyebrow at her , then leaned down and kissed her, which she reciprocated then shrieks of giggles and moans escaped her as his lips slowly worked their way up her neck stopping by her left ear lobe. "Julian stop, that tickles." Brooke managed to say through her laughter.
"No I love your laugh." Julian said quickly, then going back to kissing his fiancée.
Just then, a knock at the door ceased his actions.
"Room Service." came the voice, on the other side of their bedroom door.
"Wow you really went all out on this." Brooke said impressed, as she rolled off of Julian and slipped on her white bath robe.
"I don't order any…" Julian said to the back of his Brooke's head as she got up to answer the door.
Another knock made Brooke quicken her pace. "Coming." she said as she approached the door, then turning the knob and opening it.
"Damn, guess I forgot the food." Peyton joked shrugged nonchalantly.
"P Sawyer." Brooke said in disbelief, her eyes wide in surprise.
"B. Davis." Peyton mimicked
"Oh my God!" Brooke squealed, engulfing her best friend in a hug, nearing knocking her over "What are you doing here? How did you know?"
"Lucas is taking care of Haley while Nathan's in Dallas. And 'going out of town'?, doesn't like you. You don't just drop of the face of the earth."
"No, that's you." Brooke replied with a sneer.
"Okay okay, I deserved that." Peyton raised her hands in surrender. "But I'm here now, and I'm spending the whole day with you."
Julian, now fully dressed came into the living room trying to see what was going on. "What goin-Peyton?" he momentarily stopped dead in his tracks, before walking towards the girl and giving her a hug.
"You." Peyton said as she released him. "Little tip, next time you wanna kid-nap my best friend, make sure you at least hide the cars in the garage."
"Damn it! I knew I forgot something." he said and both girls laughed
"It was a nice try." Brooke placated
"Well it's a good thing it didn't work, otherwise Brooke and I couldn't catch up." Peyton said
Julian looked back and forth from Peyton to Brooke, who was giving him a pleading look. "But-"
Brooke took his hand. "Please, Julian? I know you planned on today being just us, but she's my best friend and I haven't seen her in forever, please? I promise I'll make it up to you.. tonight." Brooke added with a wink.
"Alright." Julian agreed "Let me get my shoes."
"You don't have to leave!" Peyton laughed
"No it's okay. I'm just gonna go hang out with my homey." Julian said he went over to the front door where his boots were and sat down on the steps as he laced them up.
"Homey?" Peyton asked, confused.
"Jamie." Brooke clarified
"No I know who he meant, I just believe he used the word 'homey'." Peyton and Brooke smiled amusedly and gave her a playful shove.
"People say that!" Julian argued as he took her brown winter coat off of the banister and slipped it on.
"No yeah, of course they do. I'm just too terribly square to keep up." Peyton said sarcastically and Brooke laughed.
"You know, it's hip to be square." Brooke quoted jokingly and Peyton and Julian laughed.
"Okay I have my cell if you need me." Julian said as he grabbed his scarf
"Alright, have fun. Be careful on the roads." Brooke said before giving Julian wrapping her arms Julian and giving him a kiss. "I love you." she said
"I love you too." he replied "Bye Peyton." he waved
"See ya Julian." she said to his retearting form as the door closed
"Alright so we have catching up to do. So tell me, what's going on in your life?" Brooke asked as she sat down on the couch
" Nothing, too exciting, I'll tell you all about that later." she took a seat next to Brooke "But first I wanna know what's going with you and Tree Hill, I feel like I've been gone forever." Peyton said and Brooke nodded in agreement "Okay so what's been happening, what's new, what changed?" Peyton questioned
Brooke laughed airily "A lot. Let's start at the beginning…"
