"He sat down listening to the intercom lady person as she said his flight number. 'L.A. Tree Hill Gate 12. L.A. Tree Hill Gate 12.' He picked his carry on and placed it on his lap and wheeled himself to the gate, showing the flight attendant his ticket. He smiled as he boarded the plane and headed to where home was.
Over the past months, he had done all in his will power to remember his life before. It'd worked. Somehow.
His mind drifted off of his 'family' as he fell asleep. When he woke up again, he was arriving in Charlotte and ready to take his bus to Tree Hill.
All together, it had taken him 6 hours to finally arrive in front of the house. 6 hours of crucial pain. But to him, it seemed like years. Marise, his aid had boarded with him and had left his at the bus. Now, he was on his own, in a town he only partially remembered.
He reached the door and was about to knock, but his hand wouldn't hit the door. He was nervous. Scared. They thought he was dead, and showing up telling them he was there, it was probably going to shatter their world.
He finally took the courage and knocked. Twice. He wheeled back a little and waited.
Instants later, the door flew open. There stood a little girl. Her dirty blond wavy hair, covered her face partially and her deep brown eye showed joy, happiness.
"Jenny! I told you never to answer the door without me there." He heard someone yell from behind the door. A lady. His heart pounded hard. He was nervous. Scared. Petrified even.
"MOMMY! Come quickly, there's a man at the door." The little girl, whom he recognized as Jenny smiled at his before pushing her locks behind her ears, revealing more of her face.
"Back away from the door." The lady said again, this time, her tone was stricter.
He waited and got more nervous as the foot step came closer. Then it happened. The door flew open, and Peyton stood there, in simple baggy pants and a sweatshirt. Her hair had been straightened and pulled back in a pony tail.
She was exactly like he remembered her. Same deep green eyes, same dark dirty blond hair.
When Peyton had opened the door, her reaction wasn't like his. He was fascinated, happy. She was scared, confused. She just wanted to fall and cry.
He was exactly like she'd known him. His short frizzy brown hair. And those eyes, the same ones she'd fallen in love with.
She didn't understand. He was dead. He was gone, she'd seen them burry him, yet here he was. At her door. In a wheelchair. What the hell was happening?"

"She lay in bed starring at the sealing. She didn't understand anything. She was hurt. She wasn't okay and she knew it. She hated it. All of it. Haley sat up, listening to the quietness of the house. She pushed the heavy blankets off and crossed across the cold bed and walked to the door. She held the handle, but she didn't open it. She stayed there undetermined moments before opening it and walking across the hall to the living room.
She watched her sleeping fiancé and sighed. She didn't mean anything she'd told him before. Yes it hurt her, but he didn't deserve it. He only wanted to help her. And she understood now.
She dragged her feet on the cold wooden floor and stood next to where Nathan was sleeping. She smiled a little and pushed her hair back before sitting next to him and laying her head on his chest.
His eyes slowly opened and he smiled.
"Hey." He mumbled, sitting up.
"I'm sorry." She told him as a tear fell down her check. "I'm sorry for everything. I didn't mean it. Come back to bed. I'm so sorry."
"shhhh. It's okay, baby don't cry" He mumbled in her hair. He held Haley close to him, letting her cry out her little heart.
"Come back to be with me, and hold me close. Don't let me go." He nodded and picked her, bringing them to their room.
He laid her on the bed and lay next to her, wrapping his muscular arms around her petite frame. "Brooke told me you started playing again."
She turned around, for their faces to be only inches apart from each other. "I did. And it felt. Good. It did." She smiled and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
"I'm happy for you Hales." They spent the night together, reconnecting.
That morning, Haley had woken up to an empty bed. She sat up, holding the blanket on her naked frame and frowned. She jumped out of bed, putting her clothing back on when she heard some movements down the hall.
She smiled seeing Jay and Jamie helping their dad make breakfast. "Hey mama, you weren't supposed to wake up now. We wanted to bring you food in bed," Jay exclaimed showing his floury hands.
She just smiled, and all together, they ate their breakfast like a real family.

Lucas was at home with Baley, while Brooke went to the cafe. He was sitting on the floor in the play room with his daughter, when a knock at the door interrupted his play time. He frowned wondering who it could be. He wasn't expecting anyone.
He looked to Baley and told the 2 years old to continue to play and that he was going to be right back. He stood up and walked to the door. He opened it, and almost immediately, he regretted it. There stood Jimmy James. The feared and wanted Jimmy James.
He tried shutting the door, but Jimmy blocked the door with his foot before pulling out his gun. He charged it and pointed it at the young boy's face.
"Where is she?" His tone was harsh and demanding, but he didn't answer. He glanced back to see that Baley was still innocently playing with her toys.
"She's not here." Lucas told him calmly, putting his hand out. "Just put the gun down Jimmy. It's over."
His tone was getting higher every time he spoke. "It isn't. Tell me where she is and no one gets hurt. I know she's here." He pushed the edge of the gun to Lucas's chest pushing his inside the house and grabbing his shirt. He place the weapon to the younger boy's liver and pressed as he winced.
"Do as I say or I will put a bullet in your liver and you will die slowly and painfully as I'm going to let you here without any help." He walked into the house – still holding Lucas – leaving the door opened as he left.
Outside, Brooke parked her car across the street from her house and frowned as she walked up and noticed the door was wide open. She pulled out her phone and tried Lucas's cellphone multiple times, but it was always going straight to voice mail.
She pushed the door opened, trying to be quite and noticed that there was no one in the entrance. She walked in and panicked when she heard Baley crying her head off. She ran further down the hall and saw the little girl just sitting in the middle of the living room, crying all the tears of her little body out.
Brooke kneeled down and picked the little girl up, rubbing her back gently. "What's the matter baby girl?"
That's when she heard it. The sound of two people talking, and she remembered that voice. It was his voice. The bastard that had ruined everyone's life, including her best friends.
She inhaled deeply before walking down the hall, Baley in her left arm, phone in her right hand ready to dial 911.
She checked every room and frowned not seeing any one in the rooms. She heard the slamming of a door and then, the house was quiet again. Except for Baley's soft cries.
She walked outside to the back yard and ran when she noticed Lucas's body just laying on the frownd. She feared the worst.
She kneeled down beside him, examining him. She sat Baley on the ground and sighed seeing he had no actual wounds. Just a banged up head. She shook him a little trying to get him to wake up. It took him about 5 minutes to wake up, and when he did, he just panicked.
"He's off to find Haley." Was all he said, and all it took for them to call 911, advise them of everything and head over to the cafe, where Haley was suppose to be.

That morning, Nathan had brought Jay to school and gone to work, while Haley had dropped Jamie off at daycare before coming back home.
Normally, she'd be at the cafe, but after arriving at the cafe, her head had started to pound and every little thing she ate made her have nausea. She had decided to keep the cafe closed today; knowing Brooke had a day off.
She had come back home, taking a warm bath and snuggling on the couch with some warm blankets and a good book. She was relaxing, hoping that whatever she had caught would go away.
Hours later, she wasn't sure how many; she'd heard the doorbell ring. She frowned and she opened her phone and checked the time. It was too early for Nathan to be home, so she figure either Brooke or Peyton might have decided to come over. She pushed the blankets off her body and put her book on the table before going to unlock the door.
Just like Lucas earlier, she regretted it. There stood Jimmy James. Her father. The man she truly hated with all her heart.
