Here's the next chapter... Enjoy!! :0)

Haley waited for Peyton to confess whatever it was.

Peyton then had a flash back to last night with Jake. "Haley would understand right? I mean I have to tell her. She can help me decide. Wait a minute what am I talking about? I can't tell her I slept with Jake when I'm still pining away for Luke. Can I? Do I? No, No. I love Luke but I also love Jake. God, this is so complicated! What am I going to do" she thought.

"Peyton? You all okay? Haley asked as she chuckled.

"Huh? Oh I'm sorry Hales." She replied now snapping out of it.

"Well what's going on?"

"Uh," she said trying to think of something. "Promise me you won't yell at me" she said a little worried

"Okay?" Hales said a little confused.

"Well alright, please keep in mind that I was upset to begin with.

"Uh okay?" said Hales

"Okay well when I found out that my best friend decided to accompany the love of my life on his trip"

"Uh huh"

"I called her and I-I kind of basically just yelled at her."

"Yelled at her for what?" Hales asked confused.

"For not telling me she was going with "MY Luke" and during the whole voicemail, I never asked how she was doing with the fact that Angie was gone" she said as she looked to the ground to avoid eye contact

Haley's mouth dropped open. "Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer! You did not just turn Mcbitchy!" she yelled

"Haley!" Peyton snapped as she was in shock. "I can't believe you of all people called me that. Brooke yeah, Rachel definitely; but you? You promised you wouldn't yell" she added beyond appalled

"Well I lied! Can you really blame me? Peyton she's your best friend, and she's really hurting over Angie. You know Brooke's been so vulnerable lately with everything going on and now this! You know you basically made her feel worst then she already does don't you?"

"Yeah I know, I know! I was just upset that Luke asked her to go with him and not me."

"And that's her fault how?" Haley said in defense. "Tell me Peyton, did you at least call her and apologize and check in with her?"

"No" she said shaking her head. "I was going too but then um Jake came over for dinner and one thing-"

"She's one of our best friends, and she's always always been there for you and everyone else. You need to start putting her first in your life Peyton! God, I'm so disappointed in you."

"Me?! I'm not the one who ran off with Luke" she shouted back. "She could have stayed and WE could have helped her through it all but she didn't!"

"Luke, Luke, Luke! Do you even hear yourself?! Brooke Penelope Davis is your best friend and you've hurt her over and over and she still forgives you! What does that tell you?! Damn it Peyton, will you stop worrying so much about you and Lucas and start acting like Brooke Davis's freaking best friend for once! You and I both know that she's probably devastated over your voicemail. Angie was so important to her and she was pretty much ripped out of her hands." Haley snapped as she got up.

"Then why didn't she call me the day Angie went home?"

"You know how Brooke is! She knows you have a lot going on with work, and with Luke and Lindsey and your feelings for him that she didn't want to burden her problems with you! Weren't you the one who told me that on the day of Angie's surgery she made you go to work so at least one of you can get things done?"

"Alright I get it Haley!" she snapped. "I will talk to her when she gets back!"

"You better!" she yelled storming off.

"Nate, man that was awesome!" the guys all said as they high fived/man hugged him still stunned that he just slammed dunk that basket.

"But when dawg?" skillz asked as he retrieve the ball passing it to Nathan.

"A few days ago." Replied Jamie proudly as Nathan smiled as he ruffled Jamie's hair.

"Quentin and I were in the gym and he kept harassing me. One thing led to another and BAM! Nathan Scott is baaack!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"This is so incredible Nathan. Before you know it, you'll be back in the NBA and-"

"Whoa, whoa Mouth. One step at a time man" he chuckled patting him on the back.

"Yeah sorry, I'm just so thrilled for you." He replied

"We all are Nate!" added Fergie as he steals the ball from Nate's hand.

The rest of the guys then followed suit as they entered a game of 2 on 2. "Come on Daddy, you can do it!" Jamie cheered them on as he sat next to Mouth.

"Hey Mouth, Jamie. What's up guys" said Jake.

"Is that Jenny?" Mouth asked shocked.

"This is Jenny." he replied as the other guys ran over to say what's up.

"What's up Jageleski!" asked the guys.

"Oh, Jenny wanted to go get some ice cream so we're headed there now." he replied

"She's gotten so big. Hi sweetie" said Mouth.

"Jenny, I want you to meet some of daddy's friends." He said as he named everyone. "And this is Jamie. Jamie this is Jenny"

"Hi" they both replied. Jenny was about 6months or so older. "Come on Jenny, I want to show you something cool over there" Jamie said as he took off.

"Go ahead sweetie. I'll be right here. We'll get ice cream in a bit"

"So, how did your dinner date go?" Nate asked as they sat down.

"It went good." He replied not wanting to give up much.

"What's with the gloomy face then?"

"Is it that obvious?" he chuckled.

"I know you came back for her Jake, even if you don't want to admit it. She's still in your heart."

"Well, it doesn't really matter Nate. Luke's in hers" he replied as he stared at the kids running around chasing each other.

"Want to talk about it?" he asked

"There's really nothing to talk about." He replied

Nate laughs as he watches Mouth try to shoot the ball in.

"Daddy, can Jamie come with us to get ice cream please?" Jenny asked as the kids stood in front of their fathers.

"Please daddy, can I?" Jamie begged.

"As long as it's okay with Jake, little man" Nate replied

"Of course." He smiled as he gathered the kids.

"Hey Jake" Nate said as Jake turned around

"In the words of Brooke Penelope Davis" he said "People who are mean to be always find their way back to one another in the end"

"Thanks man" Jake said as they did their guy handshake. "I'll drop off Jamie later this evening."

"Millie, god I'm so sorry." she said. "I should have never listened to Luke." she scolded herself. "I just got all your messages including everyone else in my life. When does Macy need to hear from us? How many times have they called you? What did they say? Victoria? You stood up to her?! I'm so proud of you! Fall design? New York? April? What baby designs? That's just great! When I thought things couldn't be any harder, especially with Angie leaving and all; now they want Baby designs" she said sighing.

"Brooke, take a deep breath" she said laughing as Brooke listened. "Yes Victoria stopped by, and I put her in her place but I think I might have started a war zone with her. You remember April right? She's the PR that you hired to run the Corp while you were here in Tree Hill?

"Oh yeah, that April. I remember."

"Well she wanted to talk to you about Macys; they're interested in a new fall line as well as baby designs. She needs to hear from you no later than the end of Monday so that means we have to go to New York to meet with the Corps so you can make your decision.

"That's tomorrow?! Decision on what?" she asked confused.

"If you think you can handle the challenge. Brooke, you know that this is very important. They've called since Friday and they've called all weekend as I've told them the same thing. When are you coming home?"

"I'm coming home today and you're darn right this is important. Will you call April and tell her that I will call her first thing tomorrow to discuss more details? Will you also book two plane tickets for tomorrow to New York for us and one for Tiffany? Have them send the company car to pick us up at the airport. I'm going to have her come down and help Rochelle here while we're gone. Leave the return date open because I'm not sure how long we'll be gone. Oh that reminds me, will you also call Jennifer and tell her that I'm coming so she can get the pent house all ready for me?"

"No problem Brooke. God, I'm so glad to hear from you." She chuckled as she took a deep breath.

"Thanks for all your hard work Millie. I'll see you tomorrow first thing." She said.

"Oh Brooke" said Millie

"Yeah?"

"We've all missed you" said Millie

"I've missed you guys too."

"Luke man, where the hell have you and Davis been?" Nate asked as he picked up his phone. "We've all been so worried and let me tell you Haley's not a happy camper."

"Hey Nate glad you're not upset with me he" he chuckled.

"I can't say the same for Hales or Peyton."

Luke cleared his throat. "So, anyways what's going on? Brooke just checked her voicemail and told me to call you right away. We turned off our phones; anyway we'll get to all that later, what's going on? What's so important?" he asked

"It's about Dan."

"Dan?" he asked confused. "What has he done now?"

"Well supposedly he tried helped an elderly couple get to their car and he ended up getting hit instead. They've put him on life support and it doesn't look good Luke."

Lucas was speechless. "What's the extent of his injuries?"

"Swelling to the brain; Dr. Copeland says that if by some miracle he pulls out of it, he'll still most likely have brain damage."

"Well you never know with Dan." he replied.

"Yeah I know man. My mom and I discussed that we'd wait for you and Karen to get here before we decide anything."

"As in what Nate?" Luke asked

"As in keep him on life support or pull the plug"

"Since we're all linked to Dan we thought it should be a decision to be talked about"

"How is Jamie taking it?" he asked worried

"We actually haven't told him yet. Hales and I decided that we'd wait for a little more information first and besides he's going to need us and his god parents to be there for him when we break the news to him"

"Yeah that's a good idea."

"So you and Davis huh?" Nate smirked.

"Wow little brother, never thought you'd be the nosy type" Luke laughed.

"Ha Ha. Joke all you want. You know once Haley gets a hold of you two I'd be worried"

"Please don't remind me. I'll fill you in later. Can you pick us up tonight at 8pm?"

"Sounds good big brother."

Haley was sitting down grading papers as she tried not to think about her fight with Peyton. Okay more like her yelling at Peyton then storming off. "Well she deserved every bit of my yelling" she said out loud. Just then there was a knock at the door.

"Look Pey-"

"Hi Hales" she said smiling.

"L-Lindsey?!-" Haley said shocked

"OMG!" Both girls laughed as they hugged. "Come in, how are you?" aske Haley

"Good, but I've been better" she replied. "How are you, Nate and Jamie?" she asked

"We're good. I heard you went back to New York. How's that going? Here sit" she said patting the seat next to her.

"It's going good." She replied sadly

"Then why the long face?"

"You know why Hales. So uh, how's Luke?"

"He's been better" she replied.

"I went by his place but there was no one there. I went by the river court and saw all the guys but didn't stop when I noticed he wasn't there. I was tempted to go by Peyton's but I decided to try here first."

"He's not there Linds. He's out of town actually"

"Oh really?" she asked hurt. "Let me guess with pey-"

"No" she replied as she cut her off. "They're complicated right now"

"Wow, you mean that even after I handed him to her on a silver platter, they're still not together?" she chuckled. "You know, I never meant to hurt him Hales" she said as tears streamed down her cheeks.

"I know honey" she said taking her in a hug.

"I wanted him to be happy, but then I realized that my heart was empty without him. I love him so much that it hurts" she cried. "I even told him that I was seeing someone just so he would let me go and move on"

"Lindsey you knew that crushed him even more" Haley pointed out.

"I know, but I figured that would be the only way he'd move on."

"So I take it, you're here now because you want him back?"

"Yes" she said nodding her head. "I've realized I can't live without him Hales. No matter how much I try, I can't do it. He's my world. I made a mistake and now I'm ready to fight Peyton for him."

"Oh boy" Haley shouted in her head as she put up a fake smile. Just then she had a flash back. "We're not kids anymore, you know Luke. It really hurts me to watch what you're doing. What do you want? If Lindsey's the right girl then that's great, if it's Peyton, great if it's Brooke-Lucas just please stop hiding your heart. I mean it"

"I need to talk to him, and I don't want to do it over the phone. When will he be home Hales?" she asked. "Hales?"

"Lucas, please stop running. Come on, you've got to let go of this dark weight you're carrying around"

"Hales?"

"Huh?" she said as she snapped out of it. "I'm sorry Linds, what was that?"

Lindsey laughed. "I asked if you knew when he'll be home"

"Oh, I don't know. He took off Friday night and didn't say a word to anyone where he was going. He turned off his phone so no one can reach him. Can you believe he didn't even tell me?? Me?? Of all people"

"Has anyone tried? Is he okay?" she asked worried. "This is my entire fault. I should have just said yes" she cried

"This isn't your fault. He just needed time away from everything and everyone to sort out his life. He's a big boy and I'm pretty sure he's fine"

"Yeah, you're right" she replied. "Thanks for listening Hales. I've missed you, you know that?" she asked now hugging her once again.

"I've missed you Linds. Jamie misses you too" she said smiling

"I've missed him too"

"So how long are you in town for? Where are you staying?"

"Probably until I talk to Luke, you know? Figure some things out. I'm staying at a bed and breakfast across town." She replied.

"I'm just about done." She replied as she neatly folded her clothes. "Luke there's something I need to talk to you about" she said as she turned to look at him. "Baby is everything okay?" she asked worried as she saw the look on his face. "Oh god is it Jamie? Naley? Peyton? The guys??"

"No, no It's D-Dan" he replied putting his hands on her shoulder.

"Oh thank god. What about him? What did he do now?" she asked now tending back to her suitcase.

"He's in a coma."

"Oh my god Luke" she replied pulling him in a hug

"What happened?"

He explained the situation.

"I'm sorry Luke. You don't need this right now" she replied.

"Nate and Deb are waiting for my mom and I to help make the decision on what to do with him"

Brooke nodded her head. "Well whatever you all decided I'm sure everyone will be behind you all 100." She said squeezing his shoulder.

"Is it wrong to not feel anything for him? Not wanting to see him?" he asked as he sighed.

"No Luke it's not wrong. I mean he has caused you, your mom, Nate, Deb and everyone else hell. He doesn't deserve it, but if you don't go see him Luke, I'm afraid that you're going to hold in all that regret if he doesn't make it."

"He killed Keith Brooke. I don't know if I could even-"

"I know honey and I'm not saying forgive him. I'm just saying wash your hands with him just in case he makes a turn for the worst. Keith has taught you to live, love and learn. He's proud of you Luke and he's always watching over you, your mom, and Lily. He loves you guys, remember that." She said smiling as she kissed his nose. "Having love in here" she said as she placed her hands over his heart "overpowers all that hatred. "You learn to forgive and forget, take what you have now, because life is too short."

"How did you get so wise?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her kissing her forehead.

"I learn from the best" she replied winking at him.

"How did Jamie take it? I was positive he would have said something in one of his vm's but he didn't."

"He doesn't know yet. Hales and Nate didn't want to tell him until we got home." He replied.

"He's going to need us" she replied as he nodded.

"I love you Brooke"

"I love you too" she replied as he took her mouth into his.

She deepens the kiss as he pushes her back on the bed. He then kisses down her chin towards her neck as she tilts to the left to give him room. He then makes his way back up to her lips.

"No, no no Luke" she yelled as she placed her hands firmly on his chest.

"Why not pretty girl?"

"Because broody we have to finish packing, check out is in like 30mins and we have a plane to catch." She replied trying to push him off.

"But we're pretty much finished, and we still have 30mins" he said shaking his eye brows at her.

She giggled."We'll have time for that later" she said trying to fight him on it. As much as she wanted him right now, she had a lot on her mind. She had to tell him about New York, but how? How will he react? She then felt his lips attack her neck as he started unbuttoning her blouse; snapping her back into reality. "Baby, baby, you need to check your voicemails, and I need to call Hales before we take off" she said quickly standing up re-buttoning her blouse.

"What's a couple more hours and Haley can wait." he replied smirking as he pulled her back down, now hovering over her as their faces were inches apart.

"Nate's picking us up at the Airport" he said as he looked into her eyes.

"See now I have to really call tutor mom otherwise- ." she said trying to push him off as well as fight the urge. "Those gorgeous ocean blue eyes weren't helping."

Just then he tugged at her blouse in one swift movement sending all her buttons flying as he cut her off from talking. "Oops" he said as he had the biggest grin plastered to his face.

"Lucas Eugene Scott!" she screeched. "You did not just ruin my expense original clothes over bro blouse"

"Brooke Penelope Davis!" he mocked. "Yes I did; and I'll tell you what." He said whispering in her ear. "If you're cooperative, I'll have my girlfriend get you a new one" he chuckled as he left trails of kisses under her ear moving towards her neck.

Brooke was about to lose herself as he nibbled playfully at her ear. "Really, you'd do that for me?" she asked acting shocked.

"Uh huh." he replied smiling. "I'd do anything for you pretty girl"

"Oh Broody, you're going to get lucky right about now" she said as their lips melted into each other's.

"I knew you would see it my way" he chuckled as she got on top of him.

"Luke, Luke, Luke! Do you even hear yourself?! Brooke Penelope Davis is your best friend and you've hurt her over and over and she still forgives you! What does that tell you?! Damn it Peyton, will you stop worrying so much about you and Lucas and start acting like Brooke Davis's freaking best friend for once! You and I both know that she's probably devastated over your voicemail. Fix it and stop being so selfish Peyton! How dare she get upset with me" Peyton shouted as she walked into her office." Brooke is the one who's with my Lucas and I'm the bitch" she said as she picked up a few demo cds, now glancing over and seeing a picture of them on her desk. "Is it possible?!" she asked out loud. "What was Haley getting at asking "IF or hypothetically? I mean, Brooke wouldn't go on this trip if she still didn't have feelings for Lucas right?" she exclaimed.

"No shit Sherlock" said Owen as he walked into her office. "You just solved your case." He chuckled

"What the hell do you want?" she shouted. "You don't even know what you're talking about." she snapped.

"Whoa, what's gotten your panties rolled up in a tight wad Sawyer?"

"Look, did you come for a reason, because I've got a lot of work to do" she yelled.

"Brooke and Lucas aren't just friends. They could never be just friends Peyton. You and I both know that it's not a possibility."

"Well Lucas loves me and I love him." She said. "He's not in love with Brooke or Lindsey."

"You sure you love him?" Owen grinned.

"Yeah why would you ask me that?" she replied appalled.

"Well, probably because I saw a certain clean cut- hazel brown eyed, brunette, good looking, probably an Abercrombie and Fitch model or something; leave your house really earlier this morning" he smirked.

"Not that it's any of your business and all, but Jake and I are just friends" she replied.

"Jake huh? If I haven't mistaken, isn't he the one who took you home the other night when we got smashed? And isn't he the one Brooke was telling me about that you fell in love with first?" he asked

"I don't have time for your stupid games. What do you want?!"

"Have you heard from Brooke yet?"

"No I haven't"

"I-I need a favor" he said now being serious.

"Favor? You've got to be joking right?!

"I need you to help me make Brooke understand that I love her." he said now picking up that photo off Peyton's desk.

"Now why would I do that?!" she snapped as she snatched the photo out of his hands. "Last time you pretty much walked out on her"

"I know, and I was a fool before. I've realized that being away from her is killing me. She's the one for me Peyton." Owen replied.

"You really love her don't you?" she asked as she sat back in her chair.

"I do, so much that it hurts."

Peyton sighed. "Look, all you have to do Owen, is fight for her. Show her you love her and that she's the only one in your heart" she replied sincerely. "There's no secret to Brooke's heart."

"Oh Peyton, you are so naïve. The secret to Brooke's heart is Lucas. She loves him, and I know he loves her too. I see it in their eyes when they're in the same room." He sighed.

"You're wrong" she shouted. "Brooke would never hurt me like that. She knows I love him" she shouted. "Get out!" she yelled.

"I've wasted my time coming here. If you're not going to help me, I'll do it myself. I will make Brooke realize I'm the one for her." He said as he left.

...

Lucas and Brooke were now checking out of the hotel as they walked hand and hand over towards the desk.

"Checking out Mr and Mrs Scott?" asked Stephen as he greeted them

"Yes we are." they replied not taking their eyes off one another.

"How was your stay?" he asked

"Amazing" she replied

"A dream come true" he answered as she blushed.

"It's hard to say goodbye to this hotel" she chuckled now turning back to Steve. "You've spoiled us rotten you know that don't you?" she laughed.

"Well as long as you had a magical time, it's all worth it." he replied

"Thank you for all you've done for us" said Lucas as extended his hand out.

"You're very welcome. Seeing you two happy and so in love like this is priceless" he responded shaking Lucas's hand.

"Be sure to come back again" he added

"You can count on that" Brooke said as she winked at him.

"Mommy, why hasn't Luke called us yet?" Lily asked Karen

"Well honey, Lucas is going through a lot right now on"

"Is he sad mommy?"

"Yes is honey. That's why he's on vacation. He needs to relax, clear his head and have some fun."

"Is that why he took Brooke with him?I really like her. She's pretty and very nice. I can't wait to play with my doll house she gave me."

"I don't know why he took Brooke with him" she said quietly in her head. "How do you know he took Brooke with him sweetie?" she asked

"I talked to Jamie and he told me. I miss Tree Hill" she said looking up to Karen.

"Well then, you must be excited that we're going home" she asked smiling

"Yes I am" replied Lily as she looked out the window. "Andy's still going to meet us at the house right?"

"Yes he is honey. We'll see him next week."

Lily nodded her head as she went back to playing with her dolls.

"Brooke its' Peyton. Why didn't you tell me that you went on a weekend get away with Luke? My Luke? If I may add. You should have told me. Call me back as soon as you get this message."She sighed. "Hi too you too Peyton, I'm fine by the way, thanks for asking" she said out loud in her head as once again, her mind got the best of her. She felt guilt rise as she thought more about Peyton. She should be furious that Peyton is lacking in being her best friend, but at the same time she loves her to death. "What am I going to do?" she asked. "I'm such a horrible friend." She yelled. "Peyton loves him. It's going to crush her if she ever found out the truth. How am I going to tell her? I have too, I love Lucas and he loves me. We deserve to be happy right?" she asked. "God, we're not in HS anymore." She sighed. She'll just tell her when timing is right. That's what she'll do. "God, how could she not ask me about Angie? She knows that Angie is so important to me. How am I going to go home and face all of her toys, and clothes?" she said sadly.

Just then she thought about Jamie. Oh how she misses him dearly as a smile forms at her lips, now recalled his message. "Hi Aunt Brooke its' Jamie. I know you're sad right now because Angie had to go home, but you still have me. I promise you I won't leave you. I miss you. When are you and Uncle Lucas coming home? I hope you bring me something good to make up for being away for so long. Jamie -But mama, Aunt Brooke always brings me something good." He said as he kept the phone at his mouth but talking to Haley at the same time. "Okay I just wanted to say I miss you. Please call me or just come by because I want to see you. Chester misses you too. I love you. Here you go mama" Tears then slide down her cheeks as she started thinking about Angie. "Oh baby girl, I miss you" she said silently as she sighed. She knew exactly what she was going to do, and that was burying herself in work. When things get tough, that's what she does best."

"I thought I was the brooder" joked Lucas as she snapped back into reality. "What's wrong pretty girl?"

"What makes you think something's wrong?" she asked.

"Because you're not acting like your cheery self"

She took a deep breath.

"Come on, talk to me. Tell me what's going on in that pretty head of yours"

"Well for one Peyton, then there's Haley, our friends, Jamie" she said smiling "Angie" she said as her smile turned into a frown "work, my mother" she sighed "Us" she said smiling again as she wrapped her arms around his right arm.

Lucas placed a kiss on her head. "Baby, Peyton and our friends will be excited for us, Haley may be pissed off but she'll get over it, and Jamie's going to be thrilled to see us, especially you his god mother. It'll take some time to heal with Angie, you know but it'll happen. I promise. With work and your mother you'll just have to take it one step at a time. You've done great with your store in Tree Hill and the Head Corp is still standing strong, baby you're super woman"

She laughed. "Super woman?" she asked shaking her head.

"And with US, you have nothing to worry about. I love you and only you. You are the one I want standing next to me forever."

"Baby, can we not tell anyone about us yet?"

"Why?" he asked confused.

"Because a lot has happened in all our lives, especially within the last few days you know with Angie, Peyton and Lindsey. I think its best that we take it slow."

"Pretty girl" he said looking at her.

"Please Broody. I don't want everyone to think that you're just rebounding with me" she replied

"But I'm not. Everyone knows how much I love and fought for you. I want to be with you and no one else"

"I know and I feel the same way" she said as her hand caressed his cheek. "I just want it to be perfect timing when we tell everyone. Please."

He sighed. "Okay, fine. I'm only doing this because I love you"

"Thanks Luke" she replied as she kissed him." She couldn't tell him about New York yet. She had to find out a little more info first before she decides anything. So for now, until tomorrow she'll keep quiet about it.

"Ladies and Gentleman please buckle up and return your seats to an upright position. Holly will come around and gather the last pieces of trash before we land. Tonight's a beautiful night, clear skies, temperature about 58 degrees. It's going to be a little chilly so grab your jackets, and if you don't have one, grab your loved ones to keep you warm" they heard the pilot say as laughs went all around. "Once again, on behalf of United Airline, we would like to thank you for flying with us. We hope to see you all again real soon."

"We're home" said Lucas as he kissed her on the forehead.

"Home sweet home" she replied nervously as she looked out the window.
