Chapter Three: Welcome Back, Not

"Brooke we need to get up so we won't miss the bus back." Lucas whispered into Brooke's ear as they slept. It's been four great days of them just together, no parents yelling or a brother or sister complaining that they are the ones getting all the attention. Just them together in a dirty motel room, but to them it was perfect.

"Do we have too?" Brooke whined rubbing her eyes.

"Sadly." Lucas said kissing Brooke's cheek.

"Can we at least shower first?" Brooke said with a smirk, a smirk that she has been wearing on her face since they had sex the first time the first day there.

"Sure, it could probably the last time we are together knowing the way our parents are reacting to this." Lucas sadly said.

"I really don't want to go Luke. Please, find away to let us stay here forever." Brooke cried.

"No tears, Brooke." Lucas pleaded. "There's no way that I can have you in tears."

"I know." Brooke said as Lucas whipped the falling tears off her cheeks.

"Now we have to make the best out of the time we have left." Lucas said with a little smile. "Now let's take that shower." Lucas smiled getting off the bed and pulling Brooke up with him.

X-X-X-X-X

"Brooke come on I'll walk you home?" Lucas asked when they got off the bus at Tree Hill Bus Station four hours later.

"I don't think that is the best idea Luke." Brooke sadly said. "My parents and probably yours are looking for both of us."

"Okay. Call or text me tonight Cheery." Lucas said giving Brooke a big kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too." Brooke said giving him a hug and another kiss before walking in the opposite direction as Lucas.

"Brooklynn Penelope Davis where the hell have you been for the past week?" Keith screamed as soon as he saw his daughter walking in the front door.

"Hi daddy."

"Don't you dare hi Daddy me Brooklynn!"

"Okay." Brooke said.

"Where were you?"

"Out?"

"Out where for the past week with the Scott Boy?" Keith said getting angrier and angrier that his daughter was telling him the truth.

"The beach?" Brooke questioned not really knowing if she wanted to tell her parents, well mostly her dad, the truth about what was going on.

"Get your ass into your room now!" Keith yelled.

"Daddy." Brooke complained.

"Brooklynn go right now. I had enough of this sneaking around with this Scott boy."

"Mom do something." Brooke begged looking at her mother who was sitting in a chair just staring at Brooke.

"Karen don't you dare leave that chair." Keith yelled.

"Keith." Karen said standing up, totally ignoring her husband's wishes. "Oh baby girl you are finally home." Karen said hugging her daughter in the biggest hug she had ever given anyone. "Baby girl why'd you go?"

"Mommy make daddy nicer." Brooke cried.

"Brooklynn stop it right now and get to that room!" Keith yelled pointing up the stairs. "This is your fault. You stayed and disobeyed us when we told you to stay away from him."

"Keith, she and Lucas disobeyed you and Dan. Not Deb and I. We didn't care that those two where dating and liked each other, hell we even knew about it a while before everyone else." Karen yelled. "Brooke go upstairs okay?" Karen whispered into Brooke's ear.

"What did you do to them down there?" Haley asked from her stop at the top of the stairs where she's been sitting since her parent's started to fight.

"Nothing." Brooke said plopping down right next to her.

"Well you had to start something Brooke that they're fighting, cause they hardly fight."

"I just came home and dad starting yelling them mom told him to stop it." Brooke said nonchalantly.

"Karen that girl needs to learn to obey me when I tell her to do something, she isn't going to learn that if you keep telling her to do things that go against what I said!" Keith yelled.

"I'm sorry about that Keith but our daughter ran away from us because of you Keith. She's fifteen; she shouldn't be out there in the world alone. I was so happy when she came home. I missed her Keith, she could've died and you wouldn't care as long as she wasn't with that Scott Boy."

"Brooke ran away because you baby here to much Karen. She gets what she wants from you and that has to stop."

"I give Brooke whatever she wants and then you do the same to Haley." Karen yelled. This was pissing her off so much. Her daughter came home; finally, a week was way to long for not knowing where she was. Karen had enough she just turned on her heels and walked right up the stairs. "Girls go to your rooms now."

"Well, well, well look who finally came home." Dan said clapping his hands for effect.

"Hi."

"Oh my boy!" Deb smiled running and hugging her youngest son.

"Hi mom." Lucas said hugging back.

"Where the hell were you?" Deb said slapping the back of Lucas' head.

"Ouch. What was that for?"

"You know full well what that was for Lucas. Where were you?"

"The beach with Brooke." Lucas quietly said.

"Why in the world are you with that whore?" Dan spoke up.

"Dad." Lucas said looking at his father as his anger started to build up.

"Well such a perfect looking family now?" the voice at the front door smiled.
