A/N-Sorry it took awhile, but real life got in the way. My last day of school is tomorrow and I graduate on Wednesday so after then I should be updating more. So bare with me.
Sam wakes up to the sound of her phone vibrating on the table next to her bed. She grabs it and flips it open to see the text message.
Meet me downstairs
Xoxo Alison
Sam smiles and shuts the phone closed. Sam looks over at Brooke and smiles as she continues to sleep. Sam carefully gets out of bed and makes her way downstairs.
"Where the hell have you been girl?"
Sam smiles and hugs Alison tightly.
"I've been in Tree Hill that's where."
Sam and Alison make their way to the couch and start talking.
"So did you bring Brooke Davis with you?" Alison asks with a smirk.
"You just want to know more about clothes."
Alison shakes her head.
"Seriously Sam, I want to know how it is going with your mom."
"It's been kind of hectic lately, but slowly it's progressing."
"Have you heard from your dad?" Alison asks.
Sam shakes her head.
"No and I'm not sure that I will. He did do something considerate though."
"What'd he do?"
"He signed over the house to my mom and the bank accounts are in my name or something like that."
Both girls continue to talk and neglect to hear Brooke come down the stairs. Brooke leans against the wall with a smile on her face.
"Our friends miss you Sam."
Sam nods her head.
"I know. I'll say hi before I leave again."
Alison leans back against the couch.
"How long are you staying?"
"Three weeks. School starts in four so I have to be back in Tree Hill by then."
Alison nods her head and smirks.
"How is small town living?"
"Pretty great," Brooke says causing both girls to jump at the sound of Brooke's voice.
"Oh my god! You scared the crap out of me," Alison exclaims.
Sam starts laughing and Alison scowls at her.
"It's not funny," Alison mumbles.
Brooke walks up to Alison and holds out her hand.
"Brooke Davis and you are?"
Alison looks at Brooke continuously until Sam nudges her. Alison grabs Brooke's hand and shakes it.
"I love your clothes."
Sam chuckles.
"I think she wanted your name moron."
Alison blushes and pulls her hand away.
"Alison Fisher."
Brooke smiles and sits down next to Sam.
"So Alison, the word around town is that you look my clothes."
Sam tries to hold back her laughter, but she doesn't quite make it. After a few moments Sam calms down.
"You guys look alike," Alison states.
Brooke smiles.
"She's just as beautiful today as she was when she was born," Brooke compliments.
Sam blushes and hides her face in her hands while Alison smirks at her. Brooke pushes Sam into her side and kisses her forehead.
"So, how long have you two known each other?"
"Since we were 8!"
"That's great."
"It's weird though, when we were younger all Sam and I talked about was you most of the time."
Brooke looks at her daughter.
"The stuff that I could remember."
The room stays quiet after Sam's comment.
"Who's hungry?" Brooke asks with a smile.
TREE HILL:
Danielle and Jamie were sitting on the River court just soaking up the sun.
"Do you think its weird Jamie?"
"What's weird?" Jamie asks.
"That Sam's finally here after so long."
"I guess so. I mean if you think about it. She grew up not knowing who her mom is. I don't know if I could do that."
"Yeah me either."
"When do Brooke and Sam return from LA?" Jamie asks.
"Mom says about a week before school starts."
"Do you think she likes her LA friends more than us?"
"She doesn't know us Jamie."
"I officially hate Andrew Becker!"
"Me too."
Peyton, Lucas, Nathan and Haley were sitting around the living room of the Naley house.
"How has Jamie been since Sam's return?" Lucas asks his brother.
"He's slowly getting there, but it's an adjustment for everyone."
"It's an even bigger adjustment for Brooke and Sam," Peyton says.
"Hey, since Brooke is in LA do you think she would go see him?"
Everyone in the room knew who him was, but they didn't want to talk about it. It was an unspoken agreement that he was never mentioned…until now.
"I don't think so Hales. Brooke has a lot to deal with. I don't think bringing an ex into the picture is going to make a difference," Nathan says to his wife.
"Come on you guys, Brooke has only wanted 3 things in her life, Julian, Sam back in her life and Andrew in jail. She already has Sam back. What's stopping her from getting the rest," Haley says adamantly.
"Sam asked me about Julian," Peyton states for the group.
Everyone in the room turns to Peyton.
"What did you tell her?" Lucas asks his wife.
"Just the whole story."
"Peyton! You told Sam the reason why Brulian broke up was because of the whole kid issue," Haley yells.
Peyton shakes her head.
"Actually she guessed that part."
"Do you think Sam is going to do something?" Haley asks to the group.
Everyone remains silent not knowing how to answer.
LA:
Sam walks up to Brooke who was busy looking through photo albums.
"Alison and I are going to be gone for a few hours. Is that okay?"
Brooke looks up from the picture she was looking at and smiles at her daughter.
"It's fine just be careful."
"I will."
Sam looks down at the picture that Brooke was looking at. It was a picture of Sam in her cheerleading uniform. Sam looks into the box on the table and pulls out a DVD and hands it to Brooke.
"Watch that and you'll see me in action."
Sam kisses Brooke's cheek and drags Alison out the door. (Alison had just come from the bathroom).
"What are we doing Sam?"
"There's someone that I gotta see."
"And who is that?"
"Julian Baker."
