Your Granddaughter

Chapter 4

Here's Peyton's response. I don't love the chapter, but I pounded it out real fast last night around 1AM while watching some OTH DVD's. Please let me know how you like it! I'm not sure who to write to next. I think there will be one more letter (+ the response) and then it'll switch to some dialogue.

Hey Brooke-

I can't tell you how happy I am that you've contacted me. I've been concerned about you. And I missed you. I know you hated me when you left and I was beyond upset that you took off before we could mend fences. I'm glad that you're okay. And thank you for sending me a letter and calling a truce. I'm glad we can be friends again.

I'm not with Lucas. I've never been with Lucas. I wouldn't do that to you. I told you that. Lucas will always be a good friend of mine. But you are my best friend. You're number one and you always have been. No matter what. I've actually been seeing Jake. He forgave me and we've been dating. I love him so much. I have real love with Jake. I realize that real love isn't what I felt with Lucas. I have grown up, also. It's amazing what a year will do. Jenny is three now and has been calling me mommy. It's freakin' scary, I tell you.

Um, speaking of that. What did the last part of your letter mean? That line about you only caring about your future and your daughter's? Your daughter? When did you have a kid? Is that why you left? Were you pregnant when you left? The whole bolting makes a lot of sense now. I wish you could've told me. But I understand. You hated me. And you had every reason to, I guess. Let's not talk about it again. I can't believe you're a mother. No offense, but it's hard to imagine. I bet you're an amazing mother. Your daughter is very lucky.

I'm guessing Lucas is her father. And I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that he doesn't know about her. But don't worry, Brooke. I won't tell him. Never in a million years would I consider telling him something like this. But B, you've gotta tell him. This is big. Real big. And I know that when you left Tree Hill, things were all crazy. And you weren't on good terms with anyone, but we have all grown up, even if you said it yourself. Lucas deserves to know he has a kid. Just call him, just tell him. He needs to know. He loves you so much. Just trust yourself, Brooke. You know what's best for you.

What's her name, by the way? I bet she's beautiful. After all, Brooke Davis is her mother.

I love you, best friend. And I never stopped thinking about you. Please write me back and let me know more about how you're doing. And send a picture of that baby of yours, okay?

Hoes over bros, baby! How's that for a flashback?

Love,

Peyton

Thanks for reading. I know a lot of you guys hate Peyton, but I'm partial to her. I've always loved that character, and have a hard time believing that they'd ever stop being friends 100. There's too much of a history between Peyton and Brooke for things to end so harshly. Alright, so now you must review!
