Ch 3

Peyton! Brooke yelled nervously and was the first to jump up from the table and run over to her. Yay! You're here she said out loud then whispering into her ear we need to talk. Look everybody Peyton is here , well be right back everybody continue talking she while laughing and pulling Peyton out the door. Peyton what are you doing here she told her with more serious tone in her voice now. Well lets see I called you about a dozen time to tell you I was coming. I know I got you message but I didn't think you were actually going show up Peyton, what are you doing? "This is crazy you cant try and stop his wedding its not right". No what not right is him marrying somebody else when I am still in love with him. Peyton I know this is hard for you I do but you can't do this to him as far as I can tell he actually seems happy. Brooke I know you mean well but I love him what am I supposed to do just sit back be happy and let him marry this girl she questioned. Yes! Brooke said sadly. Well I'm sorry can't do that we are supposed to be together I was just to stubborn and hurt to try and work things out four years ago but I'm ready now, she told her with tears now in her eyes. Pey- but she was cut off by Haley um hello out there if you guys are done with your meeting we would like some peyton time in here, you see eachother all the time we haven't seen her in 4 years, so if you don't mind. Yeah Brooke you see me all the time she while walking back into the café. "Man this is going to be a long week" brooke said quietly before walking back in to join the rest of the group.

Once inside everybody gathered around Peyton, Ohh Sawyer it's good to have you home again Nathan said while hugging her. Karen quickly ran over to Peyton cutting in line right before
Haley was about to hug her.. Peyton oh sweetie I have missed you soo much! I missed you guys too."Ok ok my turn now thank you she said while prying Karen off of her just to latch on herself. Ok Haley I kinda can't breathe oh sorry she said laughing. How are you? Good you know some old stuff. What made you change your mind Brooke said you weren't coming. Well I was able to rearrange a few things and get a couple of days off she said while looking directly at Brooke. So where's the man of the hour she asked, but when they all turned around he was gone. "Emily" Karen called out where did he go? "I don't know he was here a minute ago she with a look of confusion. So your Emily it's nice to meet she held her hand out but Emily just looked it yeah I know who you are she said coldly as Peyton pulled her hand back in. Ok then um it's been a really long day and I'm gonna go and check into a hotel. "Hotel" the all said at the same time. My dad sold the house about 6 months ago, he said he was never there anymore and I never come back home what was the point. So he sold it and bought a boat so that he can travel and just docks it wherever he stops at. "Nonsense" Karen was the first to speak you are not staying in a hotel you can come stay with me and Lilly. Karen really it's no big deal I don't mind staying in a hotel believe me I'm used to it. Your staying with me and that's final, you'll stay in Lucas's old room he doesn't use it anymore. Are you sure she asked ? Yes Peyton I'm sure , thank you Karen I appreciate it. Well now you go ahead I'm going to close up you know where the key is, I'll be there in about an hour. "I'm going to go home then Karen he's probably waiting for me at my house she said while looking at Peyton. "Ok Emily I'll see you in the morning." Great you'll go get Lucas and we'll take Peyton to Karen's Brooke said, "guys lets go" and all five of them walked out of the café to the car.

"Well that was awkward" Haley was the first to speak, that one way of putting in Brooke chimed in. I have never seen her act so rude towards anybody before Haley said quietly while Nathan, Peyton and Chase were putting Peyton's things in the trunk. Well tutor mom I have a feeling it going to get a lot worse. What do you me- she was cut off , ok were all good now lets go it's getting late and we still have to pick James up at my mom's Nathan said. Haley looked in the mirror in the visor to see Brook, Chase and Peyton in what looked like a deep conversation, Haley turned to her husband where do you think he went she said quietly? I have no idea he answered but that was really weird wasn't it? Yeah she answered as they pulled in front of Karen's house. Well here you go Sawyer door to door service Nathan joked , thanks she said while helping her with her bags. Thank you she said and she searched for the key. "It really is good to have you home ,he said I really missed you" same here buddy she said as she walked in the house.

At soon as she step foot in the door she threw herself on his old bid which still smelled like him. This bed brought back so many memories for her, so many good memories.

Peyton and Lucas came bursting through the door soaking wet, he ran to the bathroom to grab some towels. You the reason the have the convertible top on you car so that when it's raining you put it up to stop the rain from coming in. " I know but how much more exciting is it to drive in the rain with the top down?" So I take it you do this often? No not really just once before with Ellie she said somberly. Lucas walked over to her and put his finger to pick up her chin. With tears in her eyes she look straight into his" I really miss Luke" I know you do but you need to know something no matter where you go they will always be with you in here he said as he placed his hand over her heart, just like you will always be with me in my heart. I love you so much Peyton and no matter what happens I want you to know that. She looked into his eyes and at that moment she knew she would love him forever.

She was brought out of her thought when she heard the front door shut..

"Mom are you here" she heard Lucas yell. She got up and walked to the door way." Mom" he yelled again. She's not here she said, as soon as he heard the voice it sent a shiver down his spine as he slowly turned around to face her." Hey " she said. "Hey" he repeated. Um she said she had to close up the café and then she would be home. So what are you doing here he asked? Well it looks like I'm shacking up in your old room again. "Oh" was all he could come up with. So how have you been he asked her? Ah good, you ? Good he said. Great she answered as both waited for the awkward silence to pass. So I heard you weren't going to make it, yeah well I didn't want to miss your big day I guess. " Peyton look" she cut him off stop she said, lets not go there right now. We haven't seen each other or talked to each other in fours years, do you a have time to talk or do you have to get home she asked curiously ? "No" I've got time he said do you want to go for a walk? Um sure let me just grab a jacket and leave a not for your mom. A few minutes later there were out the door. So I hear you're a English teacher now. Yeah I'm also coaching the Raven. Wow that's great I'm really happy for you Luke. Peyt can I ask you something? Shoot. Not that I'm complaining but why are you being so nice to me? I can be a bitch if you'd like you know how naturally that's comes for me she said in a playful way. No I just mean- no it's ok Lucas I know your waiting for me to yell and scream and cry but it's been for years were adults now, I'm not going to lie and say it doesn't hurt but it was along time ago. So Emily she said changing the subject. Yeah we meet about a year ago at a party Skills threw. What about you are you with anybody? Uh no not right now to busy wit work and all you know how it is. Yeah big time music producer he joked. After about an hour of walking and talking the ended back at Karen's house well I better go in, it's getting really late. Well goodnight Lucas she said , goodnight he said as he leaned in giving her a hug" I missed you blondie" me too Luke me too.

Peyton awoke the next morning to a very disturbed look on Brooke's face who was sitting on the bed waiting for her to wake up. "Geez!" Brooke what the hell are you doing here? I think the question is what the hell are you doing here P.Sawyer? I told you already Brooke I love him and he need to know, Peyton he is getting married in three days. I know this Brooke I'm not insane, well your acting like it. Why Brooke what is so insane about coming here to tell Luke that I am still in love with him? Everything is wrong with that you haven't so much as uttered Lucas's name in four years now all of a sudden he's getting married and you love him again. No she shouted it's not all of a sudden , I have never stopped loving him Brooke she said with tears streaming down her cheeks. Ok ok calm down Peyton so what is your plan here? Well last night we went for a walk last night and talked. Wait you and Lucas? No me and big bird of course me and Lucas . So you told him then? Well no not exactly. What do you mean not exactly Peyton. It wasn't the right time. Three days Peyton, three days until the mans wedding. I know Brooke she yelled. I don't know what I am doing here all Is that if I let him get married without telling him how I feel I'll regret it she said desperately. So then were gonna need a plan Brooke said . What do you mean we she asked? Peyton you are my family, I don't care about this Emily girl. Brooke she raised her hand let me finish, you are my family and all I want for you is to be happy and if Lucas is what does then we figure out a way to get him. You once told me that Lucas deserved

Somebody who really loves him and I think that person is you. Peyton jumped up an hugged Brooke ,thank you so much Brook. One more thing, you didn't mention my plan to anybody as to why I was really here did you? Peyton I wouldn't tell any but before she finished her sentence Haley came bursting through. Peyton looked at Brooke who had her finger near her mouth biting her nail, " Oh yeah I may have mentioned something to Haley." So how are we going to stop this thing Haley asked while both girls just stared at her..

So here is the chapter. I know Peyton should be so nice to Lucas because he did really hurt her but she'll get mad eventually. Please review if you like and maybe give me some ideas of what I should do.
