Chapter Ten – Tree Hill

Lucas was driving the rental car they had rented. Nathan was in the front seat reading the map.

"We almost there dude?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah, according to this map," Nathan muttered.

"Are we there yet?" Brooke asked popping her head in the middle of the boys.

"Not yet pretty girl," Lucas said chuckling.

"I'm bored," Haley said from the seat behind Lucas's.

Nathan laughed, "We're almost there."

(Two hours later)

"Pretty girl, we're here," Lucas said tapping her arm.

She opened her eyes, and squinted at the bright sun. "Ugggh," she groaned. She stretched, and looked up at the blue eyes she had woken up with the past month in a half.

Lucas helped Brooke out of the car. "We dropped Nate and Hales off at Nate's parent house," he said. "Well, with my dad and Nate's anyways," he said.

She looked at the house that Lucas grew up in. "This is cute," she said.

He chuckled as he picked up their bags that he had taken out of the trunk before waking Brooke up. They walked up to the front door, and he put the bags down. "Still nervous babe?" he asked.

"A little bit," she admitted.

"You'll be fine," he said pecking her lips, and rang the doorbell.

After a minute or two, the door opened revealing an elder dark haired woman.

"Lucas," she said opening it wider, and hugged her older son.

"Hi mom," he said. "This is my girlfriend, Brooke Davis," he said.

"Hi," Brooke said holding out an hand.

"Come here," Karen said pulling her into a hug. "Come on in," she said pulling her in. Lucas chuckled, and picked up the bags, and followed them in.

"So, you're Haley," Deb said giving her a cup of coffee.

"Um yeah," Haley said shyly accepting the coffee.

Nathan walked into the kitchen after bringing the bags upstairs.

"Dad here?" he asked.

"He's at the dealership," Deb responded.

Nathan nodded.

"So, how did you two meet?" Deb asked.

Haley and Nathan exchanged looks. "Well um-" they both said.

"It's a funny story," Nathan said rubbing the back of his neck.

"We have all day," Deb pointed out.

"Mmmm this is a good omelette," Brooke said.

Karen smiled, "Thank you," she said.

"Momma," a little brunette girl said running into the kitchen, and jumped onto Karen's lap.

"Hey kiddo," Lucas said ruffling Lily's hair.

"Hey," she said pouting.

Lucas chuckled, "I missed you squirt."

"I missed you too Luke," she said.

"So, you seeing the gang tonight?" Karen asked.

"Yeah, we're grabbing drinks at Bullseye," Lucas said.

"Sounds good. So do you two need to rest?" Karen asked.

"Yeah, I brought my bags to my old room."

Karen nodded, "Luke, I don't really feel you two should share a bed," she said.

Brooke smiled, "I could get a hotel room."

"Don't be silly Brooke," Karen said. "Lucas will have the couch."

"I-I can't do that," Brooke said.

"But you are," she said. "Luke doesn't mind."

"I don't mind," Lucas said winking at Brooke.

Brooke sighed, "If you insist," she said.

"I insist," Karen said smiling.

(At the bar)

Haley found Brooke and Lucas, and ran over to them. She was already tipsy from what Brooke could tell.

"Tigger!" she exclaimed. "I was thinking you two wouldn't make it," she said happily.

"Sorry we were late," Brooke said. "We were um, preoccupied," she said blushing.

"Having sexxxx," she sang.

Lucas chuckled, "Where is everyone?" he asked Haley.

"At the booth, " Haley said.

They walked over to the booth. Brooke looked her arm into through Haley's arm, and they guided the bubbly brunette to the booth were Nathan was having drinks with Mouth, Skills, Bevin, Peyton, Jake, and a red head brunette Lucas figured was Millie.

"Luke," Mouth said. "You made it," he said drunkily.

Lucas chuckled and helped himself to a cup, and poured beer from the pitcher. He did the same for Brooke.

"Thanks babe," Brooke said.

"Are you going to introduce us Luke? " the bottle blonde said.

"Oh right. Brooke, this is Marvin McFadden," he said.

"The one getting married," Brooke said.

Lucas nodded. "That's Skills, his girl Bevin, Tim, Rachel, Peyton, Jake and-" he said stopping at Milli.

"Millicent," she said. "Millie. Call me Millie."

Lucas nodded again, "Millie. Guys, my girlfriend Brooke."

"Nice meeting you," Peyton said. "Brooke?" she asked looking at Lucas. "Is this the penpal girl?" she asked.

Lucas chuckled, "Yeah."

She nodded. "Nice to finally meet you pen pal girl," she said.

Brooke smiled, "Nice to meet you too Peyton."

Lucas thought seeing Peyton again was going to be awkward. Seeing her again brought back memories. Memories of when they were together. He looked over at the brunette who was talking to Mouth, and Skills, and Haley and Nathan talking. "This is home," he muttered. "Home."

They had been hanging out and catching up.

"Remember that one girl Luke," a drunken Mouth said. "What was her name," he said.

Lucas chuckled, "Who Mouth?"

"The one tha took my virginity," he rambled.

Brooke was laughing as she sat on Lucas's lap.

"Ahhh Gigi,"Lucas said.

"Yeeeeeeaaaaehehe her," he slurred. "You two are soooocute," he said.

"Thank you," Lucas said.

"Bookiiiieee!" Haley exclaimed drunkily.

"Haleeeeeysysysy," Brooke responded equally drunk.

"I think it's time we stake our girls home," Nathan said somewhat drunk.

Lucas chuckled, "I think you're right little bro."

"Hoome," Haley said, "I don't want to go home."

"We have too," Nathan said helping Haley.

"I'm having fuuuun," Brooke said.

"Me toooooo," Haley slurred.

"We're going home," Lucas said. "Say bye bye Brooke," Lucas instructed.

"Bye bye," Brooke said to everyone.

"Byeeesssss," Haley said.

"Bye," everyone responded, and the four left.
