Episode 9 Ch.4 Low and Behold

Brooke and Nathan are sitting at her favorite Greek Restaurant. "You remembered that I love this place."

"I would never forget. I may have been a horrible husband lately, but I never forgot anything about you and our love for one another." He reached his hand across the table. "I've never stopped loving you."

Brooke smiled.

"I know things aren't fixed, and we're going to have to keep working at our marriage, but I'm up for the challenge if that means that we're gonna be together forever."

That was exactly what Brooke needed to hear.

Peyton is in the kitchen cleaning up things. She hears Charlie playing video games in the living room. "Charlie, have you done your homework?" She yelled to him.

"Yeah mom," he lied.

"Are you telling me the truth?" Peyton knew his game. "Do I need to check it?"

"Mom you can trust me. I did my homework. I promise."

"Okay…" Peyton knew she probably should check his homework, but she wanted to trust him.

Charlie smiled as he continued to focus on his game. Savannah had heard the whole thing from the table. She knew he was lying, and he was getting away with it.

She had a feeling that it was all going to come back and bite him in the butt eventually.

Elizabeth is staring at the computer. Noah comes out of the nursery. "I love watching her sleep. She's like an angel."

"Yeah she's pretty awesome." She continued to look at the computer screen.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm registering for classes."

She looks at him to receive the look that she was expecting.

"Don't say it Noah. I know how you feel about it, but I want this. Please just let me do this for me."

"Okay I'll be okay with it if you will go to group meetings about what happened to you. I know you said before you didn't want to go, but I…I'm worried about you."

She leans in and kisses him. "I'll go if that makes you happy. I don't want you to worry about me. I'm gonna be okay."

"I'm just scared."

"I know. But you really don't have to be worried about me because as long as I have you by my side I'll be okay." She kisses him again.

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Millie, Mary Peyton, and Max are sitting on the couch drinking from the wine bottle.

"I think my mom and dad are going to kill me." Mary Peyton laughed.

"It'll be okay. We're just having some fun, and they don't have to know." Millie told her.

"Hopefully my dad won't care."

"Like I just said we're not telling anyone." She continued to drink.

Sophie came downstairs. "I want a drink Millie."

"Um no go away…you should be in bed."

"You're supposed to be watching me. I want to drink like you." Sophie wined.

"No…" Millie glared at her. "Just go away little baby."

Sophie ran upstairs in a huff.

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Eddie pushes Jacey into the apartment. Her heart was beating faster than it had ever beaten before. She was seriously afraid for her life. Eddie told her that there would be consequences if she saw her with Keith ever again.

"You are such a little bitch. You never listen to me." He slapped her across the face. "You are going to get exactly what you deserve." He slapped her again and threw her on the floor and kicked her as hard as he good.

She screamed…. "Stop…please stop…you are going to kill your baby."

"What?" He stopped.

"I'm pregnant. Please don't kill our baby." She cried as she held her stomach.

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Keith answers the door to see Stephanie standing in front of him. He didn't understand why she was there. "Stephanie, can I help you?" He said in a somewhat confused tone.

"Yeah this paper isn't as good as you said it was." She hands to him. "Read it please. I just want to do well."

Keith sighed. He had a feeling Stephanie was getting a little too attached to him.

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Spencer is lying on his stomach, and Lily is rubbing his back. "Does that feel better husband?"

"Oh it feels damn good wifey." He laughed. "I don't want this to end, but we should probably get home soon. You have that internship you have to start."

She stopped massaging his back, and he flipped over. "What?" he looked at her and could tell something was wrong with her.

"I um…" She let out a deep breath. "I lied. I didn't get the transfer."

He sits up. He thinks she is kidding, but one look into her eyes tells him otherwise.

……………………………………………………………………………………………….

Aidan and Julie walk into his house. "I would have taken you home, but I don't know where you live, and you are too drunk too remember." He slurred his words, and she laughed.

"I'll just crash on your couch."

"That's a good idea." He bumped into her. Aidan looked into her eyes and then leaned in and started kissing her. She didn't push away. She let him kiss her.

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Brooke and Nathan walk out of the restaurant holding hands. "I think this is one of my favorite dates ever." She leans over and kisses his cheek.

Julian walks over him. He is stumbling around, and he is obviously drunk.

"Don't kiss him…You should be kissing me."

Nathan glared at him.

"Julian, what are you doing here?"

"I love you Brooke, and this man has never been worthy of you."

Nathan is taken aback. He doesn't know exactly what to say. He didn't realize that the two of them were that close.

Brooke was embarrassed. She didn't know what to say either. This was not how her night was supposed to end.


So I liked this chapter because a lot happened getting ready for the next chapter. How many people saw the Aidan/Julie thing coming? What is Spencer going to say to Lily? Will he be mad at her? What is Stephanie up to? And what about Julian?

Let me know what you thought! And I'll update soon.
