Later that day, Lucas came across his old house. While looking at it he looked back at Sawyer, "Want to see your new home Sawyer?" She nodded
while holding her sippy cup. Lucas got out of the car, and took his little girl out of her car seat. "I grew up in this house, lived in my whole life, until
you were born." Sawyer's little green eyes lite up like lights, Lucas then grabbed some bags and headed towards the door. Sawyer balery reached
the door handle, but she still got it open. "Thanks Sawy Bean." Sawyer ran in to the house like it was a playground. Lucas dropped the bags and
went out to get the rest. After Lucas got all the things in the house, he headed to the kitchen. "Everything is still here, just the way i left it." He said
to himself. All a sudden his phone went off, it was Peyton on the other line. "Hey Peyton, whats going on." "You in Tree Hill yet?" "Yeah, we just got
to the house, why whats up." "Just wanted to know if you two made it there safely." "Awe your worried about me, how sweet of you." "It's more like
I'm worried something happened to my daughter, but what ever helps you sleep at night." They both laughed. "I got to go, Jenny as a dance recital
tonight tell Sawyer i love her and i'll see her next month." "Ok, i'll talk to you later tell Jake and Jenny i said hi." "I will, take care Lucas." They both
hang up at the same time. Lucas started to unpack all of the things, as Sawyer was passed out on the couch beside him. He put a blanket over his
sleepy daughter and kissed her on the forehead, and went back to unpacking.
Meanwhile that night, Brooke and Haley were about to close the cafe down for the night. "I cant believe Lucas is back in town." Haley said with her
Haley smile. "Me either, do you know if it's for long?" Brooke asked as she picked up the dirty dishes and placed them in to the sink. "I'm pretty
sure it is, he bought his old house back, and his car was packed as if he was moving back." Brooke stopped washing the dishes for a second. "You
remember when we had our first open mic night her, our Junior year of High School." Brooke asked as she walked towards Haley. "Yeah i
remember, why." "I dont know, i guess that was the night we all were on the path of knowing who were gonna be." "Weren't you with Lucas at
that time." Brooke started to giggle, "I guess, but that has nothing to do with anything Hales." She gently slapped Haley's arm. "Come on lets get
everything done with so we can get back to our families at home." Haley said with a laugh in her voice. Brooke just smiled and carried on with what
she was doing. It was close to 9 when Brooke finally got home. "Hey honey are the boys already asleep," Brooke said as she walked in to the door
to Julian sitting on the couch. "Yeah, they are. So how is my lovely wife tonight." Brooke sat down on the couch by Julian as he put his arm around
her. "I'm ok i guess," she relied as she started off to nothing. "Ok, is something on your mind? Wanna talk about it?" Brooke took at deep breath
in. "Not really, it's just seeing Lucas again, and seeing Sawyer all big and what. Just reminds me of how times have changed." Julian's face grew
narrow. "What do you mean?" She looked at him with her quite little Brooke smile. "It's nothing Julian promise you, I'm were i want to be, with you
and our family." Julian cracked a side smile, and pulled her close to him, kissed her on top of her head.
Around midnight Brooke saw her phone go off. It was Lucas, Brooke quickly stood up from her bed. "Everything ok." Julian said with a tired voice.
"Yeah it's just Hales, ill take this right outside." Brooke kissed Julian and left the room. "Hello." Brooke answered. Lucas answered back, hows it
going." "Luke are you drunk dialing." "Haha very funny but no I just couldn't sleep so I called you." "Ok I'll play along what's wrong broody? "I
just it's god why is this so hard we are supposed to be able to say anything we want to each other." "Luke are you ok?" (Brooke questions now
concerned). "Well you know how earlier I said that my heart belongs with someone else?" "Yeah but I dont believe that Luke for you it's always
been Peyton you said it yourself." "Well I lied ok do you even remember what happened right before I said that to her it was becuase you told me
to and it's because you told me to that I realized that you were over me and I thought me and you were over." "Lucas what are you trying to say
that you and Peyton were a mistake?" "Yess I am ok we were and we both know it and you know it too I was an ass in high school ok I should
have never let you go Brooke when I told you I wasn't the guy for you it was the biggest lie I ever told. I knew it then and I know it now more then
ever." "Luke I'm married and I have two kids." " I know but, two boys Brooke that is supposed to be us we we're supposed to have the two boys
remember two boys and a girl just like we imagined." "Lucas that was a joke, remember." "Well it wasn't to me." "Luke I am sorry but I cant- you
cant we cant do this I am happy with Julian ok he makes me happy and I am a loving mother I cant do this." "Brooke please i ask of you, Please
dont give up on us Brooke please." Brooke to a deep breath, "You already did that senior year Luke. Goodbye" Brooke hangs up and crawls back
into her bed. "What did Haley need?" Julian asked while half asleep." "It was nothing, nothing at all." Brooke couldn't get over what Lucas just said
and told her. She didn't really know what to say or think or do. It was all missing with her mind. It took a few minutes for her to fall asleep, but
when she did she was out cold.
In the morning Brooke was opening the cafe when she sees Lucas at the doorway. "I remember when you first made this place in to clothes over
bros." Lucas said as he walked right in. "That's no more as you can see, this is my life now and i like it." Brooke gave Lucas a dirty look as she set
up the tables. "Here let me help you." Lucas went to help her put the chairs down. "I'm fine, i don't need your help." Lucas hung his head down,
and looked her scrubbing a very clean table. "Brooke im sorry for last night ok." Brooke just kept herself busy, trying to ignore him. "Brooke, please
stop." Lucas grabbed the rag out of Brooke's hand, and she looked at him with a serious face. "I know you say you and Peyton are done with and
other shit, but Julian and I are happily married got that Lucas." She yanked the rag out of his hand and slammed it in the sink behind the counter.
"Brooke, I'm sorry ok. It's just." Brooke looked right at his face, he really did look sorry and felt bad about what he said last night. "Look, how
about we met up for lunch sometime today, ill tell you everything about me and Peyton ok. I want to fix this Brooke." She just looked at him and
her eyes met the floor. "Fine, i'll do lunch with you, but i swear Lucas you pull any of this crap on me again. There wont be anymore, "lunch" out."
Lucas let out a smile, then he turned around to see Haley coming in. "Oh hi, Luke." "I was just about to go Hales ill see you later." He gave her a
kiss on the cheek. "Brooke ill see you at noon." Brooke just swept it off and turned around. Haley just stood there wondering what just happened.
"What did i miss?" Haley said. "It's nothing Hales, you ready for the day." "Always Miss Brooke."
