Thank you so much for the instant reviews I got. You guys dont understand how much I appreciate them! I hope you enjoy this chapter.


Brooke drove in her rental car along the familiar road in Tree Hill, as she made her way to Karen's old house, now Lucas and Peyton's home.

"Mommy turn it up!" Brooke looked in her rearview mirror at her little boy that had Lucas's blonde hair and blue eyes.

"You may look like your dad but you act like your Uncle Nathan, I have no idea why I'm letting you listen to rap." She reached out and turned up the volume.

"Oh hot damn, this is my jam, keep the partyin' till the a.m., ya'll don't understand, make me throw my hands in the ayer aye ayer ayer."

Brooke looked back in her rearview and glared at him as he waved his arms around, "James Lucas Scott you do not say damn, that's a bad word."

"But you just said it." He pouted his lip that was definitely a spitting image of Brooke, and he put on his innocent voice.

"I was proving a point, and I'm an adult, I can say it. And no partying either, got me little man?" She softened her voice as his attempt to look innocent worked on her.

"Yeah, okay."


They pulled up to the house and a million memories flooded back to her as she watched Jamie run up to the house and jump into his dad's arms.

"I just need some time to figure some stuff out." Brooke and Lucas sat on his bed as he spoke to her.

"Whatever you need, I'm here for you." Brooke smiled as she tried to show him how much she cared.

"Yeah-- see, that's the thing." His face was pretty evident to her that he was trying to say something that he knew was going to hurt her.

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"I just think it's the best thing for right now."

"Maybe for you." The tears fled from her eyes as she got up.

"Brooke--" She turned around as her heart felt like it was going to explode. "I'm sorry."

"Apparently not enough." She opened the door and walked out.

Brooke looked at Lucas as he smiled at her and waved for her to come in. She got out of the car and ran her hands over her dress, trying to flatten it out. Lucas walked down the steps and gave her a hug and pulled the bags out of the car.

"Actually, that's not necessary." Lucas faced her with a questionable look. "I found a house that I like and I bought it this morning."

"Well that was fast." He said as he gave her a Lucas Scott smile.

"I don't like to waste time." She flashed back her Brooke Davis dimples with a half smile. She couldn't shake that feeling that she had when he broke up with her and she knew why, she was wondering if Haley felt that way when she ended it with her. She really hoped not.

"Brooke Davis get you're a-s-s up here to hug me before I kick it."

"Aunt Peyton I know what that means." Jamie said as he poked his head around the corner, while licking an ice cream cone. Brooke and Peyton both busted out laughing.

Brooke ran up to Peyton and pulled her into a tight embrace, "I missed you, P. Sawyer."

"I missed you too, B. Davis."


After hours of chatting in the living room Brooke decided it was time to explore.

"Hey Luke, If you want Jamie for the afternoon, I'd like to take your wifey out for a couple of hours."

"Sure." He smiled and grabbed Jamie as he ran by and started tickling him, causing Jamie to scream out in laughter.

"He better not be hyper when we get back!" Brooke cocked an eyebrow and smirked.

"Of course not." He winked as he lifted Jamie up, causing him to scream more.

Brooke rolled her eyes as she grabbed Peyton's hand and led her to the car.

"You rented a lime green convertible bug?" Peyton asked bursting into a fit of laughter.

Brooke stuck out her bottom lip, "I wanted to re live some good memories."

Peyton continued to laugh as she got into the car.


"So-- have you guys talked to Haley lately?" Brooke said as she fingered the straw that was in her drink, while they walked down the sidewalk, exploring for shops.

"No-- She's been pretty distant from here since the break up."

"It's been four years." Brooke said quietly as she wondered why she would be distant.

"It still bothers her as much as it does you." She tried to fight that last comment but she knew Peyton was right about it still bothering her.

Brooke looked up as they walked past Karen's Café that said "For Sale" and she looked at Peyton.

"Maybe I could make this into a Clothes over Bro's store."

"Yeah, that would be awesome."

"Do you think Lucas or Karen would mind?" She bit her lip as tried to imagine what it would look like after she re designed it.

"No-- I think they would be ecstatic that someone is buying it, that they love."

Brooke smiled as she walked into the store and made her way up to a guy in a suit. "Hi, I'm Brooke Davis and I would like to buy this store."

"Oh um, I'm Owen. It's going to be a little more complicated then that." He looked at her like he was trying to figure her out.

"Look Owen-- I can guarantee that I am willing to pay double the offer on this place, so let's just sign the papers and get this over with." She put a hand on her hip and stuck the other one out waiting for a paper and pen.

"Alright then." He started searching his briefcase for his files.

"Is that how you got your house?" Peyton whispered while giggling.

"Sure is." Brooke cocked an eyebrow and smirked.


Lucas was playing with Jamie on the Wii that he bought for him when a knock came at the door. He walked up and looked through the hole to see a familiar looking brunette. He felt like he had been punched in the stomach.

"Hey Jamie?" He whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Could you go sit in my room and watch tv?"

"Sure." He looked confused but that didn't stop him from running back to see what his dad's room looked like.

Lucas waited until the door closed and he slowly opened the door.

"Haley?"

She smiled and jumped into his arms.

"Hales what are you doing here?" He squeezed her tight as tried to make sure she was real.

"I quit the tour." They pulled back and he looked at her in shock.

"What? Why?"

"It just wasn't for me anymore. This time I left because I wasn't happy there anymore, not because I felt bed that I left Nathan and so much happened to him and I felt like it was my fault." They sat down on the couch.

"Wow you look-- like Brooke."

"What?" Haley's heart did a million things when she heard that name.

"You two have the same hair cut, short and curly."

"When did you see her?"

"She just moved back today. It's weird-- you both decided to come back the same day and you have the same hair cut. Let me guess you're a fashion designer too?"

"Hardly." She laughed as she slapped his arm.

A creaking sound came from the bedroom door and Jamie slowly walked out and sat on Lucas lap.

"I don't even have to ask who this is. He looks so much like you and--" She stopped herself. She hadn't said her name in a while and she felt like it would hurt to say her name.

"Who are you?" Jamie asked shyly.

"This is Aunt Haley, Jamie."

"I've hear a lot about you, Jamie." Haley smiled as she ran a hand through his hair.

"Well if you're my aunt, I guess I should hug you like Aunt Peyton." He jumped over and she hugged him tight.

As they were hugging the front door opened and the sound of laughter filled the room as Peyton and Brooke walked into the room but the laughing quickly halted as Brooke caught sight of who was holding her son.

She took a deep breath, "Haley?"
