AUTHOR'S NOTE: I didn't get many reviews for the last chapter; only about three. I don't mind, at least I got reviews, you know? I guess either most people aren't around due to the holidays (by the way Happy Thanksgiving!) or it was just because they gave up after the month that I did not update. Sorry about that, again! Things will though clear up as the story progresses, okay? Any who, here is a new chapter for you! Surprised that it is so soon, are you? (: I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Previously on With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept…

"Can I have your autograph, Mr. Scott?" A young girl asked while he was standing at the counter of his mother's café.

"To Heather Jamison, follow your heart and be happy. Love, Lucas Scott." Lucas said as he was writing and he gave the pen and the book back.

"My baby boy is so grown. So, how long are you in town for?" Karen asked used to his visits every few months.

"I'm actually thinking about staying in Tree Hill for good. I heard that they needed a new coach at Tree Hill for the varsity boys' basketball team."

"How's Peyton?" Karen asked after a few seconds of silence. She prepared her son a coffee.

"She's good. It was her idea to move back here." Lucas said with a smile.

"Any wedding bells in the future?" Karen asked.

"Get back here Sawyer!" The boss shouted. Peyton rolled her eyes knowing exactly what he was going to ask her to do.

"Yes, John?" Peyton asked.

"Daddy, wake up, wake up!" 4 year old Jamie Scott shouted as he bounced on his daddy's bed.

"Mommy's here? Uncle Lucas is here?" Nathan asked raising his head with a confused expression on his face.

Jamie ran out of the room shouting, "Mommy! Daddy is up!"

"Brooke, what's up?" He asked yawning softly reaching for the cup of coffee that was sitting waiting for him.

"So what do you need to talk to me about?" Nathan asked.

"Haley's coming to town on her last show of her current tour." Brooke said pulling out the piece of paper that she printed from the internet.

"Excuse me, why are you sitting on my car?" Lucas asked and then when he arrived up closer he saw that it was Peyton. "Peyton, you're here." Lucas said a large smile growing on his face.

"My pride and joy," Brooke responded watching Lucas and Jamie bond. "What about me?" Nathan cut in.

"Oh yeah…" Brooke said with a laugh. "It's nice to see you Nate." Peyton said giving the taller but younger of the two Scott brothers a hug.

CHAPTER ELEVEN: Rockstar Show

"Did you hear the rock-star Haley James Scott, is in town? She is playing her final show here!" One of the teenage gushed about in the halls of Tree Hill High School opening up her locker and revealing pictures of Haley in her locker.

Lucas raised his eyebrow and he kept walking. He had to pass through the boy's locker room to get to his office.

"Did you hear that rockstar chick is coming into town? She's so fine." One of the gentlemen on the basketball team said taking off his towel from around his neck and throwing it into the dirty laundry bin.

Lucas opened his office door and he slipped inside. He walked around to the desk and he saw his cell phone lighting up that was on the desk. He picked it up in his hands and he saw the picture then start flash on the screen.

"Well, good morning beautiful." Lucas said into the phone sitting down in his chair.

"Good morning coach. How's your first day going so far?" Peyton said on the other line, pushing a hand through her tight curly blonde locks.

"It's moving slowly, but there's all this talk that Haley is back in town. Am I hearing right?"

"Yeah, Brooke already called me this morning in a panic." Peyton groaned and fell back onto the bed that she shared with her boyfriend.

"Why is she so freaked out about Haley coming back into town?"

"Well, she had a child with one of her best friend's husband, a week or so after the renewal of their vows and the last words that Haley said to her were something like 'I never want to see you or him again, you dirty slut, and you stupid manwhore and she wished them both to go to hell and that their child would end up the ugliest child.'" Peyton said getting out of bed and walking over to the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror.

"Wow, well I guess you can't really blame her…"

"Yeah, but Luke come on…Haley really didn't have to say that about their child. Brooke felt horrible as it was, and then Haley says that to her and then Jake hurt her. I wouldn't be surprised if Brooke didn't show up to Tric tonight." Peyton said.

"Yeah, all right, well I better let you go get ready for that, and besides I'm sure that I have some official coach business here that I need to take care of."

"All right, I love you." Peyton said.

"I love you too Blondie." Lucas said with a smile on his face and then he hung up the phone. He sat back in his seat and he turned around. He opened the blue blinds that covered the window and he looked out at the window that he caught Whitey staring out many times when Lucas would come to talk to him.

Brooke pushed grocery cart down the cereal aisle looking through the coupon book for the grocery store for the week.

"Mommy, can we get some Fruity Pebbles?" Jamie asked holding up a red box with Fred Flintstone on the front of it.

"Sure baby. If that's what you would like for breakfast in the mornings." Brooke said. "Oh look, a coupon!" Brooke said and Jamie grinned at his mom.

"Mommy, can I ask you a question?" Jamie asked looking up at his mom.

"Sure baby. What's your question?" Brooke asked picking up a box of her favorite cereal and putting it in the cart.

"Who is Haley James Scott, and why does she have my last name?" Jamie asked curiously.

"Well, she was your daddy's wife before she left and became a rockstar." Brooke said.

"You mean she was daddy's wife before you were his wife?" Jamie asked still having the realization that his parents were in some kind of marriage to of had him.

"Sure, something like that." Brooke said trying her best not to reveal the complete worst of this world to her four year old son, just yet.

Brooke continued on shopping for the groceries.

Peyton walked into Tric, Karen's night club, and she approached the bar. Karen's eyes immediately looked up when she saw her.

"Karen, what's up with you being here in the middle of the day? What about the café?" Peyton asked and Karen immediately got out from behind the bar and wrapped her arms around the tall blonde.

"It's good to see that you are home, I am glad that you suggested that you and Lucas moved back. What a wonderful idea!" Karen said and Peyton laughed. "The café isn't close though. I have Deb running it over there. It is going to close at seven though just in time for her to come help me run the bar here."

"I hope she's getting paid for all this over time." Peyton said with a laugh.

"Oh yes, she has been a great help lately." Karen said and went back to wiping down the bar.

"Where's Haley?" Peyton said asking the question she has been dreading to ask but wondering about.

"She's in the back, probably doing a sound check or picking out her outfits for in between the first part of the show and the second, and then a third outfit to roam the floor after she does her set of songs. I don't know. I don't understand this whole rockstar business." Karen said waving it off.

"Thank you Karen." Peyton said and she walked into the back of Tric and could see many people hard at work trying to get the lighting perfect on stage and she saw the door with a star on it. She saw that the star had been configured with the rockstar's name on it.

Peyton ran her fingers over the lettering and then she raised a hand, balled it into a fist, and then knocked on the door a few good times.

"Come in!" She heard from the other side of the door.

Peyton opened the door and she popped her curly blonde head in. "Peyton?" She heard Haley's voice say.

"Hey Haley," Peyton said giving a small wave and then completely walking in and shutting the door behind her. "How are you?"

"I'm okay. How've you been doing? You look absolutely amazing."

"Yeah, that's what four years can do to you…" Peyton said drifting off with her sentence.

"How's Nathan?" Haley asked after a silent pause between the two former friends.

"He's fine, I suppose. He's Nathan." Peyton said shrugging her shoulders.

"I see. Do you know if he's coming tonight?" Haley asked and Peyton shook her head. "Is Brooke coming?"

"I don't know." Peyton answered once again just this time with actual words.

"I see…" Haley said turning to the mirror and started brushing through her light chestnut colored hair. She sighed softly.

"Look Peyton, I know that you are probably mad at me for leaving…again…" Haley started but she was cut off by Peyton.

"Yeah, I kind of am Haley, and you want to know why?" Peyton said and she crossed her thin arms over each other.

"You said some pretty terrible things to Nathan and to Brooke before you left." Haley's jaw pretty much dropped after that.

"Excuse me? Nathan slept with Brooke after our vow renewal and I'm the horrible one because I said some things to them out of anger? You have some real nerve."

"Brooke had just got done fighting with Jake, and she was upset and she was crying and she was just a terrible mess. Nathan was being a friend and he was there for her when no one else was around at the time."

"So being there for her means sleeping with her and conceiving a child with her?" Haley asked in total disbelief at Peyton right now.

"Okay, that part wasn't supposed to happen, but she had been drinking and well…I don't know. But they didn't deserve to be called those horrible names, and have those things said about their child. Every child is a gift, no matter what situation that it is conceived in."

"Peyton, you are being really unbelievable right now!"

"Whatever Haley, let me just tell you that Brooke has been content with her life and with her son for the last four years, so if she does show up tonight, try not to ruin it. She is scared to death to even think about you being in town because you hate her. Brooke was your friend and you shut her out after she made a mistake. It wasn't like Brooke and Nathan just jumped into bed together and then became hitched because they had a child." Peyton said.

"In fact, Brooke ended up shutting Nathan out for half of the pregnancy and then she finally got the courage to let him in. Brooke hated herself for the longest time, but I know that she doesn't hate herself now because the first time she laid her eyes on her little boy she didn't have one worry about you. Now that you're back, she's afraid that she'll feel that hatred and that pain again. I, for one, don't want to see her like that again."

Haley stood there in total shock, not knowing what to say exactly and then Peyton turned around and left.

"Great, so my husband sleep with my friend gets her pregnant, and I'm made out to be the bad guy." Haley said and she collapsed into her chair.

"What was all that shouting about?" Karen said just as Peyton came out of Haley's dressing room.

"She's just not the same Haley we used to know. I know that Brooke and Nathan made a horrible mistake but that mistake turned into something really great. They got Jamie in the end and he's everything that anyone could wish for. Haley shouldn't have ever said all those things about Brooke, Nathan, or Jamie." Peyton said.

"It looks like you need to rant a little. Good thing it's just about Lucas' lunch time." Karen said.

"Oh thanks." Peyton said letting out a chuckle.

Nathan and Jamie were sitting on the couch playing NBA Basketball on the television. When Jamie scored, Nathan looked over at Brooke who was sitting at the kitchen counter staring into space.

"I'll be right back." Nathan said and he got up from the couch. He walked over to Brooke and he let his hand rest on to her back.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Brooke said and he rubbed her back slowly.

"Brooke, I need to talk to you about making stuff a little more permanent for Jamie's sake. I mean, he keeps telling me how he wants to stay here but he wants to stay with you too. He doesn't like going back and forth like we're some kind of divorced couple. I think you should move in." Nathan said.

Brooke looked up at him and she tried to process what he was saying.

"You want me to move in with you?"

"Yeah, I mean, I think it would be better for Jamie. He might really like it if we were both here."

"I guess you're right. Let me think about it?" Brooke asked and Nathan nodded his head. "Go play." Brooke said and shooed him off not before letting him kiss her forehead.

Lucas buttoned up his long sleeve shirt and rolled up his sleeves. He had a nice pair of jeans on, a nice pair of shoes, a shirt decent enough to wear to his mother's club.

"Well, doesn't someone look all fancy?" Lucas heard Peyton voice. He looked up.

His girlfriend, Peyton, was dressed in a black skirt with some band tee with a black leather jacket. Her hair was done up.

"Wow, I feel very dressed down." Lucas said. "You look really…" Lucas walked up to his girlfriend and wrapped his arms around her.

"Really…" Peyton whispered softly, sliding her arms around his neck.

"Amazing," He whispered and he gave her a soft kiss.

"It's a good thing we don't have to be there for another thirty minutes." Peyton whispered and pushed him towards his bed.

[O][T][H]

Nathan entered the club with Brooke about ten minutes then the time that they were supposed to meet everyone. It was due to the fact that Brooke continued to have melt downs about the night, and about saying Haley. Nathan practically had to drag Brooke inside.

"Brooke!" Peyton said approaching her best friend. "You made it!"

"Yeah, she only had about 15 meltdowns before we even left the house." Nathan said. "Where's Lucas?"

"In that booth over there…" Peyton said and Nathan quickly disappeared from the girls and found his brother in the booth. "What's up with you? Why did you have all those meltdowns?"

"Haley is here! Haley, the one that called me all those horrible the names, the one who made me hate myself for like the first six months of my pregnancy, the one who hates me because of a mistake that I made. She hates me and you made me come to the place that she is playing at! And her former husband asked me to move into his house."

"Okay, just stay away from the stage. We'll talk about the other part later. I have to go announce now." Peyton said. "I love you B. Davis. Everything will be okay."

"I love you too P. Sawyer, thank you so much." Brooke said and watched as her best friend disappeared into the crowd and climbed on to stage.

"So the next person to come onto the stage is Tree Hill legend and talented singer Haley James Scott."

[O][T][H]

"Brooke, are you okay? You look kind of sick." Lucas said taking a sip of his drink.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm going to go, I really can't be here." Brooke said and grabbed her purse. She left the table as quickly as possible.

Haley approached the table next and then they all understood the reason that Brooke had to leave so quickly.

"I'll be right back." Nathan said and he slid out of the booth. Haley watched after him in astonishment.

"Where are you going?" Haley asked but then she turned to Peyton and Lucas and they just both sat there silent.

"Welcome back, Haley." Lucas said and he took a sip of his coffee. Peyton practically gave him a death glare.
