Chapter 9:

Brooke had just got off the plane and is on her way to the baggage claim. She didn't call Haley or Nathan to pick her up because she wanted to surprise them, especially Jamie. She has really grown fond of Jamie ever since he was born. If anything, it made her sort of happy again. The boy just brings smile to her face with his cuteness. After Peyton had left, it had been a nightmare for her. That's why she decided to move away and just visit from time to time to catch up with the family she left in Tree Hill.

She's a pretty good designer now. She pretty much achieved every little dream she had when she was in high school and more. Only one thing is missing and it still pains her to think about how things had ended between them. She tried looking for her. She even hired a couple of Private Investigators. She went as far as to give them reward if they found her. She had everything but it seems like a part of her was still missing.

"Tutor mom?!" Brooke said as she opened the door to the Scott's home. She had been given a key a long time ago so she can let herself in whenever no one is home.

"Jamie?" Brooke said as she went to the little guy's room.

"Oh well, looks like they're out." Brooke said as she rounded up the house and saw no sign of no one.

"They could at least have a pet in here. At least then, I wouldn't be reduced to talking to myself. I would totally get Jamie a dog on his birthday." Brooke said as she dropped down on the sofa.

ooXoXoo

"We should tell Peyton about it." Haley said unconvincingly. She tries to make Nathan agree that it isn't a bad idea, even though she, herself, isn't too keen about telling Peyton about the other girl.

"Why should we tell her about that? It wouldn't help anything." Nathan said looking at his wife like she lost her mind.

"But what if she would like to know?" Haley persisted.

"If she did, she would have asked where the hell Brooke is. She hasn't."

"But Nathan, what if Brooke suddenly shows up? I don't think Peyton would like that."

"But Brooke is busy this summer. She said so herself, she wouldn't be able to come visit. That's why we have Peyton." Nathan finished with a grin.

"That's funny Nathan. Really funny." Haley said rolling her eyes.

"What? Come on think about it. Brooke is always visiting us during summer, this is the only time she wasn't able to. That's why Peyton came to the rescue, aiding her best friend." Nathan said really convinced by his explanation.

"You're crazy Nathan, if Peyton hears you talking like that" Haley wasn't able to finish her thoughts since Peyton cut into their conversation.

"Talking about what?" Peyton asked as she stood in between the couple.

"Nothing?" Haley said biting her lip.

Peyton just raised her eyebrow at the couple.

"Never mind, if you're debating whether or not to tell me, it's something I don't wanna know. So forget it, I'm not gonna ask." Peyton said shrugging her shoulders. It's true, it's better to not know these kinds of stuff. Ignorance is bliss. 'Til that ignorance catches up with you and you somehow find out about whatever that is. Then it's not so blissful now, is it? I should really stop thinking about these kinds of things.

"Okay" Haley said unsure.

"So anyway, Mandy was asking if we could have dinner at your house. She and Jamie don't want to part yet."

"Yeah of course, you two are welcome anytime. Besides, I was just about to ask you if you two could join us for dinner."

"Okay then, that's all set. So Mandy will go with you guys, right?"

"Yeah we'll take her with us." Nathan answered.

"Okay I'll see you guys later. I'm just gonna go say bye to Mandy." Peyton said as she gave a hug to both Nathan and Haley.

"Yeah see you."

"You think she knows?" Nathan asked when Peyton was far enough that she couldn't hear him.

"I don't know." Haley said after a few seconds while looking at how Peyton and Mandy interact.

ooXoXoo

"So?" Mandy asked hopefully while looking at her mom almost pouting when she saw her mom coming her way.

Peyton just chuckled.

"No need to bring out the big guns, sweetie, yeah we'll go have dinner with them. I have to take care of something at the house. So you'll go with them, I'll see you later."

"You won't be long?" Mandy asked. She'd rather be with her mom than play with Jamie, if she will be away from her mom a long time.

"No, I won't be long. It's not like you won't be busy wrecking Jamie's house." Peyton said while patting her daughter's hair.

"Hey, I've been good!" Mandy exclaimed.

"Yes you have. So you're gonna be okay?" Peyton asked before she left. You could call Mandy independent and more mature than any child her age, but when it comes to her mom, she's a bit clingy. She has always been afraid of her mom leaving her. Peyton has tried to reassure her that it won't happen but Mandy just keeps on ignoring it.

"Yeah I'll be fine."

"Okay, I love you and I'll see you later." Peyton said as she kissed her daughter's forehead.

"Love you too mom"

ooXoXoo

"So, who are your crushes at school?" Mandy asked while Haley was fastening her seatbelt.

"No one really, you?" Jamie said shrugging.

"You don't have a crush on me, do you?" Mandy asked in a menacingly threatening voice which made Nathan and Haley look at each other with raised eyebrows.

"Uhh..huh no?" Jamie said unsure. He didn't know whether or not saying yes or no would be the correct answer.

"Are you asking me or telling me?"

"I'm telling you? I mean, your pretty and all but I—"

"Shut it Jamie. I don't care. Just keep it that way, 'cos we'd be nothing more than friends, got it?" Mandy said staring Jamie down.

"I think he got it sweetie." Haley said to Mandy.

"It's better to be sure. I don't like complications like this when I grow up."

"Okay?" Haley said hesitantly. She's trying to figure out what the little girl is really saying, but right now, she has no idea.

"So, Jamie?" Mandy said turning her attention back to Jamie.

"Best friends?" Jamie asked.

"Yeah best friends is good too! I like you, but we'd be nothing but friends? okay?" Mandy said smiling.

"Yeah, okay." Jamie said relief crossing his features.

"Good." Mandy said nodding.

"Do you scare all your friends?" Jamie asked not too sure if he should be asking that question.

"They're not called friends, if they're scared of me, they're called minions." Mandy said as she looked at the window.

"So do you have minions?" Jamie asked curious.

"Hmm a couple…" Mandy said thoughtfully.

"Is that fun?"

"It's alright." Mandy said grinning.

ooXoXoo

Brooke has been waiting at the Naley's house for almost 2 hours. She fell asleep half an hour ago upon finding nothing worth watching on tv. She was jostled out of sleep from the noise of keys and kids laughing.

She got up from the couch to go open the door for the Scott family but the Scott's beat her to it.

"No Jamie, you don't go out with friends." Mandy said in her reprimanding voice.

"Then who are you supposed to go out with then? Enemies?" Jamie asked genuinely confused now.

"Of course not doofus!" Mandy said rolling her eyes. Boys can be stupid.

"Okay Mandy, that's enough. I think you're both too young to be going out with anyone." Haley said cutting the kids conversation.

"I know we are. I'm just teaching Jamie." Mandy said frowning at what Haley said which made Haley confused too. Mandy has mood swings left and right. She's really Peyton's kid.

"Then who am I supposed to go out with?" Jamie still asked even though his mom already asked them to drop the subject.

"Strangers." Mandy said surely.

"But mom said never to talk to strangers. Didn't your mom ever teach you that?" Jamie asked innocently.

Mandy frowned. It always upset her when someone says something, even remotely bad about her mom. She always get into a fight because of that. But then she figured Jamie isn't trying to do that. She saw that her mom was happy in the company of Jamie's parents. So I guess, I shouldn't hit him for saying that.

"Wasn't I stranger before our parents' introduced us to each other?" Mandy said almost sounding like Haley when she tries to explain something to Jamie.

"Yeah but…"

"No buts, strangers are supposed to get to know each other. Just don't be stupid and get to know the crazy ones. You're lucky you met me."

"Yeah I guess." Jamie said unsure.

Haley and Nathan just shook their heads. So young and so whipped.

The four of them didn't notice Brooke standing in the hallway with a smirk on her face, mostly due to the little blonde girl in front of her.

BrownEyedCynic: Oh no, I gave out the wrong name. I've been away from this story for so long I messed up the names. It's Mandy Penelope Sawyer. Not Davis. Damn I suck! I think it's all your crazy analysis fault. Its messing up my head hahahaha :D I miss your analysis on my story. Send me those again hahaha, they entertain me. I even put it up in my fb status hahaha.

pmcc: Your SN name looks familiar. Haha I wasn't threatening anyone. I was simply asking since I do not know if there are still people reading this since it's been like a year the last time I before. Okay, I'll finish this story Breyton style, but keep giving me feedbacks, deal? hahaha. Peyton wouldn't leave Mandy. She loves the kid too much and as for Mandy she just has some issues about that, not that Peyton ever gave her any reason to. It's just the stuff she knows that's causing the fear. Stuff that Peyton doesn't even know she knows. You're asking for Brooke, right? Well here she is back in Tree Hill. For all the other stuff you're asking, you have to wait haha, it can't all happen in one chapter. Enjoy reading this chapter! : D
