AN: Hey guys I know, I know I'm sorry, it's taken forever to get this chapter up. My Little Lappy died, as I can't for the life of me write when I have full access to the internet because I get too distracted. It was a little hard to get this done. But thanks to my mum who gave me her old laptop which isn't really that old when you think Lappy was almost ten years old and this one isn't even three year. So I am hoping to get more chapters to you more often now. Fingers crossed. I do have a question for you though. Would you like to continue the Dan/ Chance/ Patrick story in Home is Me and You are Mine or do you want a story all to them. I don't know how long it will be but, I'm hoping for ten. Let me know. :D Lozxx

Questions and Primrose Chapter 35

Brooke Davis chuckled as she walked up the Scott driveway, there at the top was Nathan; washing the family car. Kinking an eyebrow she wondered why he just didn't take it to a car wash.

"Bit cold to be washing the car isn't it Nate?" she asked Nathan looked up and smiled, she had a point it was the middle of winter after all. But he had always found it relaxing, yes it was odd that a man with the amount of money he had earned over his times as a basket ball player found washing a car relaxing, but he did.

"Well Jamie had a fascination with the car wash, always has. And have you ever tried to wash a car with a five year old?" Nathan asked Brooke had to give him that she hadn't tried to wash a car with a child of any age let alone a five year old boy.

"Where are Hales and Jamie anyway?" she asked as Nathan dropped the sponge he was using into the pale of soapy water beside him.

"At the beach...Well Quinn, Hales and Jamie are. Don't give me that look Davis. Quinn wanted to use Jamie for a new series she wanted to do. Called- actually I don't remember what she called it. All I know is that she wanted Jamie. Hales decided to take one of our lawn chairs down and write. So I decided to wash the car." Brooke nodded she found it amusing really, that Nathan didn't want Jamie to wash the car with him. But he was ok with Quinn taking him down to the beach, then again. For as long as Brooke could remember Quinn hadn't liked going in the ocean, something about amnesty.

"Dan gets out today; doesn't that worry you in the slightest? He's had months to plan his revenge. Months of just lying there planning, it scares me. And Julian's been on edge all night" Nathan lent against a dry patch on the car; he finally found out the real reason Brooke Davis came over she wanted to know what he and Haley were going to do about Dan. They were old hands at dealing with this Dan, they knew every trick in his very out dated book, and Nathan guessed that Brooke would only be the first to ask. His parents, brother and in laws were bound to ask at some point. Brooke just happened to be first.

"I highly doubt he will do anything to any of us. None of us had anything to do with him getting run over, he knows that. You were in hospital; Hales, mum Peyton and Julian were with you. Quinn and Clay were back home in case Jamie woke up, dad, Luke and I had left and he watched as we drove away in the other direction. As for Lydia, I do believe she had Vivian at her place. Whoever did it doesn't live in Tree Hill; and they've had a good couple of month's head start. So long as my pathetic uncle isn't going after my family and friends I really don't care what he does. He's becoming wreck less, and if he does anything outside of Tree Hill the law will catch up to him... Eventually." sighing Brooke nodded if Nathan was this calm about Dan being out of hospital, then maybe he was right. Anything that was going to happen wouldn't happen to them. Now she just had to convince Julian of that fact, easier said than done.

Julian Baker looked up as his fiancé walked in; he waited till she sat down and went to ask. Brooke help up her hand and waited she smiled as Peyton walked in without bothering to knock; she had noticed the door ajar slightly and figured that Brooke had seen her car turn the corner as she was getting out of her own. Knowing that Peyton would want to know if she had been over to see Nathan and Haley Brooke waited so she didn't have to repeat herself.

"Hey Brooke did you know Dan gets out today? Should we go tell Hales?" Brooke smiled her friend was too predictable.

"Beat you too it Blondie, was just waiting for you, Nathan and Haley seem fine, they aren't worried at all. Nathan was actually washing their car. He seems to think and it makes sense, that it was someone else the rest of us were elsewhere. Dan knows that, Nathan said so long as he doesn't come after his friends or family he doesn't care what Dan does-

"but what about-

"Julian honey Nathan and Haley have been dealing with Dan for years, they know when to be worried and not. Nathan was washing their car; he said Haley was on the beach writing and Quinn had taken Jamie for something. If they are going on with their lives as normal I say we should too." she said leaning over and caressing his cheek with her thumb before getting up and kissing his forehead. Peyton smiled if Nathan was calm about this then she had no reason to worry. Unlike the rest of their family well herself and Lucas, as well as Brooke and Julian Nathan and Haley had to think about Jamie as well. So life as normal for them, well that's was a good sign for Peyton.

"So Hales was writing this could only mean good things; I know she was a little iffy about recording again, and if I ever see that Remkiss woman I'll give her a piece of my mind. Stupid witch, I'm pretty sure the only reason Nathan graduated Stamford was because of Hales. Let's face it, he wasn't ever going to be really book smart."

"True, yeah Nathan said she had taken one of their lawn chairs down, but seeing how close they live that doesn't surprise me. I can't wait to hear her live again; ah, I missed my tutor girl singing."

Dan looked up and across the table of the shady bar that he had picked, no one knew him here, not that he was planning anything for anyone from Tree Hill but still it was better to be safe with things like this. You never knew with Tree Hill just who knew who, especially with Nathan and Haley. They had friends all over the place now. That was his doing of course but, these things were over and down with, now he just had to live with them. Picking up his drink he looked at the swirling bourbon before finishing it off. Placing the glass back on the coaster he took a deep breath.

"You know, after this Nathan's never going to want to see you again right?" he asked the young man in front of him.

"Nate's gone soft, really that Hicksville town you live in, and the little woman has him whipped he wouldn't talk to me now even if I was sorry for all that has happened. Not that I am sorry mind you. I don't know nobody apart from Nathan who wanted to be tied down with a kid at eighteen. I tried to help him, you know that. But he's been around that wife of his too long." Chance Xavier said leaning back and taking a mouth full of the beer that was in front of him. Dan smiled he knew he liked this kid, now if his nephews were more like him he wouldn't have a problem with them, but they weren't and they never would be. The two men sat there talking about what needed to be done for a good two hours. People came in and out of the bar but not one of them paid attention to Dan and Chance and neither one of them paid any notice to them either.

However no one noticed the brunette in the corner watching them, there was a wicked smile on her face as she took a sip of red that was swirling around in the glass in front of her. Taking out a pocket mirror she reapplied her blood red lipstick and left a note describing Chance to a t saying that he would take care of her tab. There was a kiss on the note that was left with a red Primrose flower. It was an odd choice to leave for a man, but she knew that Chance would have no doubt in his mind who it was, if she left this flower. They had a past, one he had tried to run from and now, finally after all these years it was catching up to him.
