Episode 2 Ch. 3 Pre Game Rituals

Peyton was shocked. She wasn't expecting him to propose. She loved him but she had already been married and that didn't go so well. All these thoughts were running through her mind, but the only thing she could think about was losing Jake forever. So she said the only thing she could say to keep him in her life.

Peyton- Yes Jake I'll marry you. I would want nothing more.

Jake slips the ring on her finger, and she smiles. He mouths I love you and they kiss. She falls back and he begins kissing her passionately.

Lucas is sitting in his office watching game tapes. Keith knocks on the door.

Keith- hey dad can we talk

Lucas- If this is about me letting you play forget it my decision is final.

Keith- Come on dad can't you just ground me or something

Lucas- If I grounded you we would have to tell your mom about what happened and I really don't want to tell her.

Keith- What if I promise that I'll never be that stupid again?

Lucas- Don't make promises you can't keep Keith?

Keith- Dad please just think about it, don't make the team suffer because I was stupid. (Keith walks out and Lucas thinks about what he has said)

Jamie is in his bedroom getting ready for the game when Eligh comes in.

Eligh- Jamie can I ask you something?

Jamie- What's on your mind?

Eligh- You and Jenny will barely talk to each other.

Jamie- We just broke up it's kind of hard.

Eligh- what happened

Jamie- I don't want to talk about it man.

Eligh- Come on Jamie give me the juicy gossip would she not out or something

Jamie- Shut up Jackass do not talk about her like that. Its done of you damn business what happened, so just get the hell out.

Eligh could tell his brother was upset and decided to let him be. Jamie loved his brother, but he couldn't tell him why he and Jenny broke up because the guys would think he was loser.

Flashback:

Jenny and Jamie are sitting on Jenny's bed. Jenny was on the phone and then she hangs up.

Jenny- So that was my dad it looks like he is going to be gone all night.

Jamie- So it's just the two of us.

Jenny- Yeah…Jamie I love you and I'm ready to take the next step. (She sits in his lap facing him. She starts to kiss his neck. He doesn't look too comfortable with the situation and he pushes her away)

Jenny- What's going on? Do you not want to be with me Jamie?

Jamie- Jenny I'm not ready.

Jenny- We've been dating a year don't you think it's time we took our relationship to the next level. I mean especially if we love each other. (Jenny can tell by his face that something is wrong) Oh My God you're not in love with me!

Jamie- Jenny

Jenny- I can't believe you don't love me Jamie. I've given you a whole year of my life.

Jamie- I…( he can't find the words)

Jenny- Why didn't you tell me?

Jamie- I didn't want to hurt you.

Jenny- too late for that

Jamie- You're an amazing girl Jenny I just don't think you are the girl for me.

Jenny- I guess its better that I found out now instead of years down the road. I mean thank God that you didn't sleep with me right. (She is trying to hold back tears) I think you should go.

Jamie- Jenny

Jenny- I don't want to hold you down Jamie. I don't want you to be with someone you don't love. It's over Jamie. You should really go.

Jamie- I'm sorry Jenny I never wanted to hurt you.

Jenny- We don't always get what we want do we.

Jamie can tell that she is upset and he leaves.

Jamie is now sitting on his bed. He really had loved her, but he wasn't ready to sleep with her, and he wasn't ready to tell her how much he really did care about her.

Lily was in her room getting ready for the game. Jenny knocked on the door.

Jenny- hey I knocked on the front door but no one answered

Lily- sorry…. (She reaches for her stereo and turns down the volume.)

Jenny- Are you sure your ok to cheer tonight?

Lily- (Sighs) You know what I wish? I wish I wish that everyone would just stop asking me if I'm ok because I'm fine.

Jenny- I know it's just a habit. I worry about you.

Lily- I know but I'm handling it.

Jenny- ok….So you ready to go unless your going to ride with Chase.

Lily- No I'm not going anywhere with him for awhile….Let's go….

They walk out of the room together.

Lily- Oh Jen I left something I'll meet you in the car.

Lily goes back into her room and gets her flask and slips it into her purse.

Brooke is at home. She has finally gotten dressed. Chase comes in and Brooke can tell something is wrong.

Brooke- Hey buddy, shouldn't you be picking up Lily for the game?

Chase- Not today…She's mad at me.

Brooke- Why what happened?

Chase- Mom I feel like it is my fault that Lily has all these problems.

Brooke- You're not the reason her mom died.

Chase- No I'm not but it's a known fact that Lily Scott is a party girl, and that is my fault.

Brooke- Are you fixing to tell off on yourself?

Chase- Mom, you know I haven't had the best behavior in the past.

Brooke- Yeah unfortunately

Chase- I rubbed off on Lily and I'm just scared she is going to ruin her life.

Brooke- Don't worry Chase everything will work out for Lily besides she has a whole lot of people on her side. And she's really lucky she has you.

Chase- Thanks mom you always do know how to make me feel better. (He gets up to leaves) By the way are you feeling better?

Brooke- Um, taking the day off helped…..(Brooke half way smiles)

Chase- Ok well take care of yourself cause if your not healthy then you can't take care of me and I always need it.

Brooke- ok I got ya I will I am….I'm gonna be fine. (She thinks to herself) At least I hope so

Jeremy is in the gym shooting around by himself. A tall muscular man comes in from the side. Jeremy misses a shot.

Colin- Come on son you can do better than that what are the scouts going to think we you miss the easy shots

Jeremy- Hey to you to dad

Colin- (He puts his hand up for his son to throw him the ball) Here….(Jeremy reluctantly throws him the ball) Let me show you how it's done. (Colin shoots and he scores) See now it's just too bad your not as good as your old man or you may be the leading scorer

Jeremy- I was last game.

Colin- you should be every game…..You've got to be consistent but your not.

Jeremy- Dad I'm trying here ok

Colin- You can try all you want but you'll never be as good as me Jeremy, never. (Colin shoots the ball again and then walks out. Jeremy rolls his eyes)

Jeremy- (whispers) that happens to be a good thing (He takes the ball and shoots and scores.)

Nathan, Emily, Hunter, and Millie come into the house.

Millie- Daddy can we play?

Nathan- No Millie we've got to get ready to go to your brothers' basketball game.

Millie- But I don't want too daddy basketball sucks

Nathan- Excuse me (The boys come down the stairs) Where did you learn that word?

Millie- Eligh says it all the time.

Eligh- Dad I didn't do it.

Millie-Yes you did it's like your favorite word on the whole planet

Nathan- Well that's not a good word I don't want to hear you say it again you got it young lady, and as for you Eligh if I hear one more bad thing you have taught her you are going to be in big trouble.

Eligh- Got it

Millie- me too daddy

Jamie- Come on Eligh we got to go

Nathan- See you guys at the game good luck

Jamie- thanks dad

Eligh- thanks

Emily- Ok Millie go upstairs and get you one toy to take to the game and as for you Hunter bring your spelling words and I'll call them out to you during half time.

Both kids ran up the stairs and Nathan smiled at Emily and then followed her into the kitchen.

Emily- I figured you guys could go out for dinner instead of me cooking.

Nathan- You should join us?

Emily- No I couldn't I have a lot of things to do after the game

Nathan- Come on Em it will be fun…..Besides the kids love having you around and so do I

Emily- Is this your subtle way of asking me on a date Mr. Scott

Nathan- You've been working for me for years and you have to admit we've gotten pretty close these last few.

Emily- I'm your kids nanny which makes you my boss.

Nathan- It doesn't matter. All I'm asking is that we try. I haven't really dated since Haley past away and its hard for me but I feel the chemistry between us. Don't you?

Emily- I do feel it and I guess we can see where it goes…… (Nathan walks closer to her and leans into kiss her)

Millie- Nanny Emily (They hear the little girl screaming at the top of her lungs and back away)

Emily- I'm coming Millie…..Duty calls

Nathan- yeah (As Emily walks away all Nathan can do is smile)
