I'm back!
I have been updating pretty fast lately in very proud of myself. Everyone asked for it because apparently she is everyone's favorite character even though I didn't know it..
This chapter is focused on Breyton. Not much of anyone else except the flash forward which I have to admit I had fun with. I love writting about Brooke, Haley, and Peyton. I tried to a little humorous and if you pay close attention I give away quite a few spoilers. Big ones! I did bounce back and fourth and I read it, it is under stable. I do put present and Two years from now.
Let me also mention when it says two years from now or if and when I do one year from now it doesn't mean this exact moment in two years. It means any time in that year form from news years to new years.
Anyways here is the next chapter!
Oh and a relationship I'm not sure how you'll feel about but I am excited about!
TWO YEARS FROM NOW
Haley James-Scott wasn't going to lie about it. She was a little tipsy or three drinks to drunk but Tue cool September air felt very nice. It was sobering as she walked through Tree Hill between her lifelong friends.
"Jude. Pick up the phone" Brooke said the words slowly. "Jude if your home please pick up… I'm drunk and I need a ride".
Haley laughed. It was funny.
"Since when did we start calling our kids to be our DD's"? Peyton asked.
"Since he is way more responsible than I am" Brooke said as she hung up. "Out of the three of my kids I know it sounds bad but if any of them had a baby in high school or went to jail I just saw it being him".
"He has been through a lot" Haley said.
"I know. After Julian died he really stepped up you know? I'm so proud of him. He has a scholarship to any school he wants Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and he wants to go to Tree Hill College".
"Because he wouldn't be leaving Catalano".
"She sides with me though and she said the only way she is going to marry him is if he goes to a college he deserves so they are getting married in March. Its the only time the Church had an opening and they want to spend time together as husband and wife before he goes to college".
"So they are going to spend most of their first year of marriage separated by states".
"I know but Chase is willing to sign and after all they have been through… It should be a cake walk really".
She had a point.
"Just don't let them end up in Jamie's shoes" Haley commented.
"How is he doing"? Peyton asked rubbing her small arms trying bring heat to herself.
"He is about to sign for his third divorce in three years he isn't doing good but Jenny still won't let him have anything other than supervised visits. I understand her thinking I do but he just hired a lawyer. The same one that got Dan off of life in four years. This divorce is about to get nasty. They have been separated for almost a year but those are his daughters and you know he is going to fight like hell for them".
"It didn't take this long with Rachel to get divorced" Brooke stated.
"No but they never purchased anything together. I mean they signed prenuptial agreements. They went to the state they got married in to file and it only took a few months for it to be finalized. I know this is hard for him and I understand that but ever since he got back from rehab he has distanced himself from everyone. I hear from him maybe once a week and that's only because Jenny drops the girls off at my house for an hour for his visit. It almost worries me".
"You don't think he relapsed do you"?
Haley stopped and shrugged.
"That's his new house" she said pointing across the street. "He put it in Lydia's name so Jenny can't take it in the divorce same thing with the car and anything else big he has bought".
It was a perfect house. Almost to perfect. It was the kind of house you saw in a movie. It sat in the middle of the suburbs with the perfect green grass and a street light hanging right off the property. It wasn't to big and it wasn't to small.
It was just right.
Two stories. A bright blue door and white shutters.
"He wanted to buy something he could raise Gracie and James in. The house he and Jenny had was enormous".
"Its adorable" Peyton said. "Almost like the one I grew up in".
"You know if he was doing anything it'd be in there" Brooke said.
Haley starred at her for a minuet.
"Brooke" Peyton said shaking her head. "We can't just break into someone's house".
"Its Jamie we used to change his diapers I'm worried about him too and look clearly he isn't there. The lights are off and there is no car in the driveway".
"Yes but people go to jail for that kind if thing. Its called breaking and entering".
"No its not. Jamie is my son" Haley said.
"Who is twenty six might I add".
"Well, he gave me a key".
"Let's go".
Haley and Brooke took off across the street leaving Peyton standing.
This wasn't a good idea. She knew that. But for some reason she followed them into the house.
PRESENT
Breyton turned the key and pushed through the door of Haley's café. She walked in and went to flick the lights on but they was already on. She looked up and at the bar sat her dad next to a man and Brooke stood behind the counter.
It as five in the morning and both of her parents were at the café. They was both awake at five in the morning she was certain something was happening.
"What are you doing here?" she asked joining her mother behind the counter tucking her purse and jacket into her small cubby.
Well, sweetheart we needed to talk to you" Julian said taking his daughters hand. "You can make out of it what you wish but it is something we need to discuss".
"I've already talked to Haley we won't be opening the cafe today" Brooke told her daughter.
"Mom I kinda needed the money this week. I was going to get a crib they are on sale this weekend".
Something serious and Breyton was worried about money. It made sense she was a mother. A teenaged mother.
"We will still pay you" Brooke said.
"Breyton you need to meet someone" Julian told his daughter. "This is Felix".
"I think we've met. Didn't you help break up Lucas and Keith when they got into a fight outside the house"?
"Yeah that was him" Brooke told her.
"Felix is your biological father".
The words sounded like shredded paper coming out of Julian's mouth. Although she didn't really notice. Breyton was speechless.
As many times as she pictured this moment in her life she had a thousand different speeches prepared but at this moment she couldn't think of one word to say. She couldn't even put a sentence together.
For someone who had always had a 4.0 grade average she wasn't showing it all to well.
It was a joke. It had to be. Breyton convinced herself it had to be a joke.
Until she looked at the man and saw her own eyes starring back at her.
TWO YEARS FROM NOW
It was never good when you mixed a James, a Sawyer, and a Davis with alcohol. It was bad actually.
If you needed proof how bad, the fact that they had broke into Jamie Scott's home should be proof enough.
Haley stood with her friends outside of her sons room.
"I haven't done something like this since he was sixteen and I found out he was smoking pot" Haley admitted.
"Do you think he has any in here"? Brooke asked.
Clearly she wasn't asking for her god sons sake.
Haley turned the door knob and turned the flashlight on, on her phone.
"Let's split up" Brooke said stepping forward.
"Brooke this isn't Charlie's angels I'm no Cameron Diaz and you'd break something if you tried to pull a Lucy Lui" Peyton said jerking her back by her arm.
"A girl can dream" Brooke pouted.
The three walked into the bedroom. It was quite as Brooke channeled her inner Alex Monday.
"Aha" Brooke yelled.
Peyton and Haley jumped out of their skin.
"Brooke don't do that" Haley said slapping her friend on the arm.
"I don't know about drugs but I can tell you this. Your son is getting laid".
"And what makes you think that"? Peyton asked rolling her eyes.
"The bed is made".
"That says nothing" Haley told her.
"Do you know how many times a week I used to get on to Julian for not making the bed. Every time we go over to visit Breyton and Keith his bed is never made and Peyton ends up doing it. How many times did you ground Jamie when he was growing up for simply not doing just that. He is a guy unless they are trying to impress a woman or are married they don't ever make their bed".
"He made his bed that means nothing. Maybe he just felt like making it this morning"
Brooke nodded as she folded her arms and sat down on the bed.
Brooke wasn't done.
Not by a long shot.
"Then answer me this what's with his sheets. Black satin sheets. Have you ever had sex in satin sheets"?
"Brooke for all you know I could've bought him those sheets". Haley told her.
"OK but are these your red lacy panties" Brooke asked picking them up by the corner and tossing them over her shoulder. "Or are those your used condoms in the trash bin. Looks like the problem isn't what he is high on but who he is high on".
"When it comes to sex her eyes are like the nose of a blood hound" Peyton said.
"Its what I do".
Peyton starred out the window in silence for a minuet. She knew this wasn't a good idea.
"We have to go. Now. Jamie just pulled in" Peyton said turning around. "And I don't think he is alone".
PRESENT
Breyton held the warm mug in her hand tightly as she sat in the booth across from Felix. Across the café she could feel her parents eyes on her and she could feel his eyes on her. If they all had lasers she'd have been set on fire by now.
Words.
She just had to come up with words. Any words would do.
"You can ask me anything you want" he told her.
"Your… Your tall" she said.
Those were the the first words that came out of her mouth. Breyton could smack herself.
"I'm 6'1 yes" he told her.
"I'm only 5'3 my brothers have always picked on me for my height. I mean I'm seventeen and there are middle schoolers taller than I am. I get that from my mom then"?
"No. My mother your grandmother she is barely five foot and if it helps your not seventeen. Not yet".
"I'm… What"?
"The ladies at the orphanage kinda just assumed an age for you and they was too high. You was an advanced baby anyways you'll be seventeen May 29th".
"They was off by nearly a year. I've been celebrating my birthday in March every year…
"I have a theory. Everyone says your mom took you there as soon as you was born but I think she tried to keep you but she knew she couldn't. However, you took after me I was a big baby and so was you".
He handed her a picture. It had a woman holding a baby close to her chest.
"That's you and that's Ali… Your mother".
"Does she know you came to find me"?
"Breyton you mother died a while ago. She was on drugs really bad I didn't even know about you until a few months ago. She spent her pregnancy in a rehab but the night she had you she had left and found her way to a friends old home where she used to stay. That night she had you after she had done a couple lines with a friend".
"I was… I was born in a crack house"?
Her voice broke. It was awful to hear. Felix didn't really enjoy telling her either but he nodded.
"Its not the best thing but considering the life you could've lived I'm grateful that Ali took you to The orphanage".
Felix handed her a file. A large one at that.
"Bentley Wesley" she read the name. "Who is that"?
"The only sibling on your mothers side I have been able to track down. He hasn't been out of trouble since he was 12. He was in and out of Ali's custody until she died. He has been in five or six juvenile detention centers and he has been to jail at least five times… He is twenty two but he lives here in Tree Hill. Its all in there. In case you wanted to meet him".
She starred at the picture of her mother.
It was odd.
"I look like her a little don't I but I look like you more".
Felix nodded.
"What about you? Do I have any more brothers and sisters"?
"I have two boys Jeremy and Riley. Jeremy is nineteen and Riley is fifteen. I also have a daughter Hannah who is sixteen".
"How do you feel about people that are gay? My best friend is gay".
"My sister is bisexual so you could say that I'm OK with it".
Breyton sipped on her drink nodding.
"How did you have four kids like that"?
"Their mother and I had split up after we had Jeremy and about the same time Ali got pregnant I was trying to patch things up with her and soon after she got pregnant and we eventually re married".
"So your still together"?
"No. We was both in the military and I wanted out. I wanted our kids to be raised stable not here and there and she wanted her career so we split and I got full custody. If she isn't busy they go visit during the summer but very seldom".
Breyton stood up.
"I need a walk".
"I'll go with you" Brooke chimed in as she made it to the door.
"No. I just want to be alone for a minuet".
Breyton walked out the door with that.
TWO YEARS FROM NOW
Peyton followed in her friends lead and crawled out of The bush they had not so casually landed in.
"Thirty some years being friends with Brooke Davis and you think I'd be used to this sort of thing" Peyton mumbled beneath her breathe.
The three sat on the side of the house and waited.
Brooke slowly peaked around and snapped back.
"You was right he isn't alone. He has a girl with him" she whispered.
"What does she look like"? Haley asked.
"I don't know".
"What do you mean you don't know".
"Sorry I didn't know we was on a mission next time I'll bring my stun gun and night vision goggles" Brooke said sarcastically.
All three peaked around the corner and Brooke wasn't being sarcastic. They couldn't see anything but shadows. Jamie opened the door as he led the woman into his house.
"From now on no more Vodka for you two" Peyton said.
PRESENT
Breyton wasn't sure how long she had been driving for. Hours. That much she knew. Long enough for the sun to set and darkness to take over Tree Hill.
She parked her car outside of the small apartment building. She got out of her car and to the closest door. It closed behind her with a loud slam not that she could've heard it with the loud blasting music.
Breyton climbed each stair slower than the one before it. At the top it was like a frat party except this was a fraternity and most of them was too old for college. Half the apartments didn't even have a door attached to the hinges. The other half had theirs bolted locked. She pushed past everyone until she reached the one apartment she was looking for.
She hesitated but she swallowed down her fear and knocked twice.
A girl answered. A little older than she was but it couldn't be by much.
"What"? She asked.
"Is… Bentley Wesley here"? She asked barely loud enough to here.
"Bentley" the girl yelled over her shoulder.
Only a moment later he appeared behind her.
"Is it yours"? she asked.
"Is what mine"? He asked her.
"This ho showed up looking for you is the baby yours. If you knocked her up I swear to God I'll cut you"
"I'm sorry" Breyton said shaking her head interrupting the couple. "This was a mistake".
Breyton rushed away and headed back towards her car. She shoved the key into the door and went to unlock it.
"Hey" Breyton heard.
She turned to see him walking towards her. She saw her brother walking towards her.
"Ignore Kayla" he said shoving his hands in his pocket. "She is a bitch… I'm sorry about that".
"Its OK I'm sorry I should've… I'm leaving".
Bentley snatched her hand before she could get away.
"You remind me so much of someone" he told her. "Why did you come here"?
Breyton reached into her pocket and pulled the picture Felix had given her out. She handed it to him.
Tears dwelled in his eyes.
"Where the hell did you get this?" he asked.
"It was given to me. That's me and my mother. My biological mother".
Bentleys mouth nearly collapsed on the ground.
"Oh my God" he said. "You made it. Your OK. You lived".
"What"?
"I've been looking for you for a long time".
He hugged her. Bentley hugged his little sister because she was safe and alive.
"You need to get out of here its not safe here people have guns and drink all day. Let's go. I'll follow you in my truck OK"?
She just nodded.
She hadn't known what to expect but this wasn't at the top of the list.
TWO YEARS FROM NOW
Jamie Scott handed the woman sitting on his couch a glass of wine as he set do next to her.
"Should you be drinking? " She asked him.
"I'm a drug addict all Scott's are natural born alcoholic's. Its OK".
She couldn't help but smile.
"Well, you are serving alcohol to a minor".
"I won't tell if you won't".
Instead of answering she just sipped on the red liquid in her large glass.
"You can cook. You have excellent taste in music. Your such a good father. Not a bad money status. Not to mention your hot as hell… How is it possible your single"?
"It all sounds nice until I mention I am about to start my third divorce I have two daughters who I only get to see when their mother let's me and I'm a recovering drug addict for the second time. I have managed to screw up every relationship I've ever been in and damage every woman who ever gave me the time of day. Any woman is stupid of that wants me".
She sat down her wine glass and starred at him for a minuet. He didn't mean it like that she knew that and she didn't take it that way either.
"Then call me stupid" she told him.
"I have managed to hurt everyone I've ever loved" Jamie told her. "That's what scares me is hurting you because I'm falling for you in ways I have never fell for a woman and I am scared to hurt you".
She ran her hand up his chest and cupped the side of his face.
"Your worth the risk" Breyton Baker told him.
Jamie leaned in and kissed the eighteen year old in a way he had never kissed any woman.
So what did you think?
Jamie and Breyton.
I'm actually really excited and can't wait to tell that story. She is eighteen so don't freak out.
As the next few years unfold your going to be mad at Jamie and your going to feel bad for him at the same time. Even in a fan fiction drugs is a story I'm going to tell and I am going to tell it with Jamie. As I tell that story with him your going to side with Jenny and your going to hate her but you'll always understand why she is doing what she is doing. Drugs will tear a family apart I've watched it first hand and this is the first time I am saying this but it won't be the last. Jamie and Breyton are eight and a half years apart and are both very unlucky in love but they were born to love one another. I can't wait to tell their story if everyone in their lives can accept them. They will have a hard road.
I gave away that Julian is the one that dies but I didn't say how I'm saving that but you'll cry!
