I just wanted to say that this is my first fanfic and I am having a blast writing it. I hope you like it :)
"My life is so over" Emma said with disgust as they got out of the jet "tell me about it" Lizzie was quick to reply.
"Come on girls, cheer up" Lucas was overly excited of their return to Tree Hill. "Yeah, come on. What does New York have that Tree Hill doesn't?" Julian said giving his best friend a hand. Emma looked at her father like he was the most stupid man on earth "Bloomingdales" Lizzie nodded in agreement which put an end to the conversation.
As it dawned on the two teenagers that they had to carry their own bags, Lizzie rolled her eyes "Tree Hill is just getting better and better" Emma let out a giggle in search for someone to carry their very heavy Louise Vuitton suitcases.
Lucas spotted his mother making her way through the crowd "MOM" the statement caused Brooke and Peyton to drop everything and run in her direction.
The two teenagers who were far behind their parents saw the scene, and for the first time upon their arrival a smile was playing on their lips. Karen was the only Tree Hill person they could stand and the only Tree Hill person they ever saw. Lizzie knew that whatever happened she could always talk to her grandmother, To Emma, Karen was the person she called and talked to when she couldn't speak to anybody else. She was always supportive and never judgmental. They had to admit that no matter how much they hated Tree Hill it was going to be nice to be able to see Karen every day. She might be the one person that could make their stay bearable.
The drive to Karen's house was surprisingly pleasant, Brooke was surprised by her daughters kind words and warm smile. Things were looking up already. Peyton saw Brooke smile at her daughter and couldn't help but smile at her husband who was more than pleased with the move.
Emma doing her best to avoid her mother's smile so she kept talking to her grandmother, Lizzie involved herself in the conversation between her grandmother and best friend, anything to avoid speaking to either one of her parents.
As they arrived at Karen's house, they were met by the happy faces of their parent's high school friends, the people they today called family. Lizzie never understood how they could call people they never saw family, but they did.
As they got out of the car, they got two warning looks from their fathers "be nice". Emma and Lizzie gave them the fakest smiles they have "we mean it girls" The girls rolled their eyes "whatever" and walked away trying to find a place to hide out until all of this was over.
Julian looked over at Lucas "well, that was pleasant" Lucas gave him a look "yeah" as they walked off to find their wives.
Catching up on old times everybody was having a lot of fun, but it was quite obvious that two certain teenagers were less than enjoying themselves.
Amanda Scott, Nathan and Haley's oldest daughter was watching the two New Yorkers in awe. They were so chic in their designer shades and Gucci sandals, they looked like the celebrities on us weekly or page six. As she made her way over to them she saw that they weren't exactly having the time of their lives. So as she arrived at the table she opened with "Do you know what would make this party so much better?" Emma gave her a who-are-you look and replied "alcohol" Lizzie was who was studying her nails looked up and replied "anything really". Amanda was stunned by how forward they were and was about to pick up the conversation when she saw her father and uncle making their way to the table.
Lucas could see that the girls weren't in a good mood even with their shades on. "Catching up with your cousin I see" Lucas said as he flashed a smile in Amanda's direction. "Who?" Lizzie said confused, Lucas gave her a glare glancing over at Amanda "Amanda", "right" Lizzie said annoyed wishing he would just disappear. Nathan jumped in trying to save his brother "so I hear you two aren't to thrilled about the move" I was more of a statement than a question. The girls just looked up at him, Amanda giving him a glare that said "could you embarrass me anymore" Nathan determined to cheer the girls up "oh come on, Tree Hill has everything New York does" Emma now showed her New York attitude by replying "a Starbucks on every corner, Bloomingdales down the street and party's 24/7" "your saying we can find all that right here in Tree Hill" Lizzie was quick to finish her sentence.
Lucas was angry but mostly embarrassed by his daughters behavior "THAT IS IT FROM YOU TWO" it came out louder than it was suppose to, Julian saw everything knowing very well what had just happend. He walked up behind Lucas pointing to the car "IN THE CAR NOW".
Taking each their teenager by the arm and leading them to the car.
Brooke and Peyton were stunned, they couldn't more, Karen came up to them "they are just adjusting" Brooke looked over at the mother she never had "that's not adjusting" Peyton shook her head wanting to cry. Karen put an arm around each of the mothers "don't worry, everything's going to be ok. The boys can handle it for now, enjoy yourselves." Peyton looked over at her mother-in-law "I don't think the US army could handle those two" Karen wiped away Peyton's tear and lead them over to the others.
The car ride was a silent one. The girls exchanged glances but never a word. Julian tried to keep his eyes on the road but every once in a while he glanced back at the teenagers in the backseat. They had the coldest face expressions he had ever see and he worked in the film industry.
As they arrived at the new Scott residence, Lizzie said "it's real …" not being able to find the right word. "Homie" Emma finished her sentence with disgust. The two men exchanged angry glances. "SIT" Lucas said in an angry tone poiting to the couch.
As the two misbehaved teenagers sat down in the middle of the big brown leather couch while their two fathers were pacing the room.
"HAVE YOU NO SHAME?" Lucas was pissed off, but his daughter didn't seem to care all she did was glance over at her partner in crime. It was Julians turn to speak "this is not good enough girls, i though you knew better. We are not in New York anymore". They were now standing over their daughters looking down on them. "You really don't get it do you?" Lucas shook his head "this needs to end". To Julian it seemed hopeless, the only thing he could think of was "you to need to spend some time apart".
"APART?" Emma was pissed off at her father. "BUT WE DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER" Lizzie yelled at her father. His only response "that seems to be the problem"
Punishment had never before been a problem becaue they were always punished together, but now not being able to contact each other was going to be hard.
As Peyton arrived home she saw her husband laying on the couch exhausted. There was no Lizzie in sight. She sat down next to him, ready to hear her daughters punishment. "We split them up" his words shocked her.
The next day everything was rather cold at Scott resident. The mother of the house, was quite unpleased with her husbands decision to split the girls up. The only person more upset than Peyton about this decision was Brooke Davis, she refused to speak to her husband, but Julian had the feeling it would pass so he didn't push her.
"they think they're so smart" "yeah, what idiots" Emma replied. They were sitting in each their bedrooms avoiding their parents. No cell phones and no internett was allowed. "Another point to the teens" Emma said laughing, Lizzie joined in, but stopped as soon as she heard a knock on her door, "got to go, talk later" she said hanging up and hiding her secret cell phone.
Her mother appeared in the doorway. Peyton really did feel sorry for her daughter, they took away her only friend and she wasn't happy but she wasn't going to overrule her husbands decision. "I was just checking if you wanted to do something?" "You mean i'm allowed out of my room?" "Yes, off course. You are welcome to come down stairs and watch TV with your father and I" Lizzie was in no mood to spend time with her father "No thanks mom, I think I'll pass" "You know Liz, you can't stay in here forever" "you mean your gonna let me out someday?" Peyton was getting really annoyed at her daughters tone "your choise" was the last words she spoke to her daughter for the next 3 days.
Things weren't going any better over at the Baker residentse. Brooke tried everything, talking to her, gribing her. Nothing worked. She was about to give up. Julian saw how frustrated his wife was, but felt helpless. "How about we invite Haley, Nathan over for dinner?" "I'm not really in the mood" Brooke replied. "Come on Brooke, she'll have to come out of her room if we have company" "ok fine, i'll call Haley. But you have to tell Emma"
Emma was putting on lipgloss when the doorbell rang, she smiled at the mirror. She was had been to angry with her parents to go out of her room all day and she was starving so the dinner wasn't a bad idea.
The dinner started off with talk about the adults and their carriers, which lead to a discussion about what the kids wanted to do later in life. Amanda as always was very goal orientated and knew exactly what she wanted. Emma never really liked that family, they were to … nice. They were so … perfect. Amanda was a tutor just like her mother, the two youngest twins were sweet and polite and the oldest, whatever-his-name-is was the Nathans pride and glory.
Emma did her best to stay quite the entire dinner, not because she was giving them the silent treatment out of anger, but because she was afraid if she opened her mouth something mean and inappropriate would come out and her parents would keep her away from Lizzie even longer.
But she couldn't help herself any longer when Nathan gave it his very best to involve her in the conversation "so how's life in Tree Hill?" Everybody was staring at her "terrible" Julian gave her a look that had behave written all over it "what do you expect? You take away my phone privileges, my computer and you keep me from my best friend. How do you expect me to like it here?" at this point she was yelling. Brooke couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her daughter, she knew that what they had done wasn't exactly going to help their cause.
Haley felt sorry for Emma as well "so Emma how about Amanda shows you around Tree Hill tomorrow? Maybe you'll get a different view of the town then" Amanda was thrilled by her mother's proposal "I would love to". Emma for once trying to be nice "sure that would be great" secretly thinking at least I'll get out of this house, maybe I can ditch the girl after a quick trip and then really see the town. Brooke was surprised by her daughter's kind word. "Can Lizzie come to? She would love to see the city as well I am sure" Brooke had to admit she was expecting that, it was like her daughter was blackmailing her you be nice to me I'll be nice to Amanda.
"Sure, why not. You three will get to know each other" hoping that Emma and Lizzie would play nice and involve Amanda, but doubting it.
Lizzie had to use her best please-daddy-I'm-still-your-little-girl-I-love-you eyes to get him to allow it. He wasn't pleased about it but his wife on the other hand was happy to finally see her daughter smiling again.
Hope you liked it :) R&R
