Episode 11 Chapter 3 Till Death Do Us Part

Charlie walks into Savannah's hospital room. Chloe is by his side.

"Hey Charlie," Lucas had been waiting on him. He knew Charlie was having a hard time facing the hospital and the possibility that Savannah could die.

"Hey dad."

"Honey, are you okay?" Peyton asked him.

"I think Savannah would want you guys to have these." He hands both of them their letters.

"Where did you find these?" Lucas asked.

"In Savannah's room…I already read mine, and it helped a lot."

"Thank you." Peyton looked down at the letter.

"Can I sit with her for a little while?"

"You can sit with her until she goes into surgery."

"She's getting the kidney?" Charlie was happy.

"She's getting one of Drake's kidneys."

Charlie smiled. "They are all about this epic romance stuff…What is more romantic than giving the girl you love a kidney."

Chloe laughed. "I prefer flowers."

"Good thing because I prefer to have both of my kidneys."

Peyton and Lucas both chuckled.

….

Connor was sitting on his couch.

Mouth walked in and sat beside him.

Neither one of them said anything. Mouth just stared at his son.

"Okay dad…what is on your mind?"

"Oh nothing much…I was just thinking." Mouth didn't elaborate.

Connor sighed and rolled his eyes. "Okay I'll bite…What were you thinking about?"

"I had a friend in high school. She was a total bitch to everyone but me. I even thought that I might love her."

"Where is this going?"

"Just listen….She did something that was almost unforgiveable…People lost their lives because of her." Mouth sighed. "And she could never even love me back." Mouth paused. "It was hard for me to forgive her, but I did…And then we lost touch and I haven't seen her in years."

"I don't understand where this story is going."

"I promise I have a point." Mouth was beginning to think maybe he didn't. "It is easy to be mad at someone and not forgive them. In my opinion that is the coward's way out."

"I'm not a coward."

"No…but you are afraid that if you forgive Charlie for betraying you he will betray you again. That is not always the case. Sometimes people can surprise you."

"You don't even talk this girl anymore. She is probably still a bitch.'

"Yeah maybe, but she was a really good friend to me in high school. She surprised a lot of people. I think she helped me to become confident and strong."

"I thought that was Aunt Brooke's doing."

"Yeah well this other girl had a lot to do with it too…You know your Aunt Brooke likes to credit for a lot of things….Anyways you and Charlie were best friends and right now he is going through something pretty big. He needs you."

"He has Chloe, remember. He cheated on the girl I liked with my sister. He is so screwed up."

"You know it takes a very strong man to forgive…I always thought you were pretty strong."

"Dad…I'm not buying into this guilt trip."

Mouth stood up. "I didn't say you had to do anything about any of this. I was just thinking about some things, and you asked me what I was thinking about." Mouth smiled and walked away.

Connor shook his head. His dad was pretty good.

….

Lily walks into Graham's office. "Hey…"

"Hey gorgeous." He walked over towards her. "Are you okay?"

"I'm just worried. This family has been through so much. It isn't fair that we have to go through something else….When are we going to get a break?"

"Come here," he wrapped his arms around her. "I knew all of this would be hard for you. It is bringing back memories, isn't it?"

"Yeah," Lily nodded. "You know I remember the exact day that I realized Spencer wasn't coming back."

Graham didn't say anything.

"I walked into our bedroom. He had been gone for about six months. I kept one of his shirts next to his bed, but when I walked into the room it was gone. It was like he had moved it or worn it or something….I thought oh my God…Spencer is here. He finally came home to me." Lily had tears in her eyes.

Graham wiped away one of her falling tears.

"I walked into the bathroom and called out his name, but he didn't answer. I walked back into the room and the shirt was lying under the bed. One of the kids must have knocked it off. I knew then that he was gone, and I would never get him back." Lily sighed. "I took all of his clothes and things and packed them up. Now he is nothing but a few boxes and I see him when I look at Scott or when Ansley is upset. She curls her lip just like he did." Lily smiled. "That is all he is….He is a bunch of memories, good and bad."

"Lily…"

"It's hard, and days like today make it even harder. I don't want Lucas and Peyton to have to go through that with their daughter. They shouldn't have to go through that. She has so much life left to live."

"I'm so sorry Lily."

"I know you know how I feel. You've been there."

Graham nodded. "The day I realized Kelly wasn't coming back was the day that you came and pounded down my door. You brought me back to reality."

"I think that is why I love you so much. You get me. You understand everything that I've been through, and you don't blame me for missing Spencer."

"No…of course not…I miss Kelly all the time, but having you in my life makes it a whole lot easier."

"I love you so much." She rests her head on his shoulder. "Do you think maybe we could just sit here for a little while….I just want to be next to you for a while."

"I think I can handle that." He lead her towards the couch and he held her in his arms.

Keith shook his head. He wasn't sure if Graham was for real. He didn't know if he trusted Graham the way Lily did.

But he was going to figure it all out.

….

Michael was standing behind the cash register at the café where he was employed. He looked so much like Spencer it was unbelievable. He had a scar above his eye, but that was from the accident he had been in.

He couldn't remember his life at all. He had dreams, but none of them were about his wife and daughter. He felt nothing when he looked at either one of them. He felt like a horrible husband and a horrible father. His little girl didn't deserve any of it. She just needed her father.

"Hey honey," Lila walked in. She had dark hair and was very beautiful. She was definitely Michael's type, but he felt nothing. She had their little girl with her.

Molly was a little over a year old. Lila had found out she was pregnant a few weeks before the accident. She hadn't even told Michael yet.

"Molly really wanted to see her daddy at work."

"I don't know why. This isn't a very glamorous job."

"Oh honey," She handed Molly to Michael.

The café wasn't busy so Michael followed Lila to a booth. It was the booth where Lila told him they had fallen in love. The café was where they met when they were in college. They had an instant connection at least that is what she said.

"You will remember that you were an amazing lawyer, and if you don't that's okay. You always liked to work in the café when you were in college."

Michael didn't say anything.

He stared at Molly. She had blonde hair and deep blue eyes. She didn't really look like Lila, and he couldn't really see himself in her either. But that could be because he had to have plastic surgery. He looked nothing like himself. That bothered him too. He didn't even have the right face or the right memories. He was just really confused.

"I wish I could remember what we used to have."

"You will remember honey…I believe in you and in our love."

Michael shook his head.

"And if you never remember that's okay too. I love you, and I'll make sure that you fall in love with me again. I mean after all you couldn't resist me the first time around." She leaned in and kissed his forehead gently. She was going to make him fall in love with her. He had to fall in love with her. He was all she was holding onto.

Keith appeared. He was holding a picture of Lily. "That is definitely Lily's Spencer." Keith was sure of it, and he had a plan.

…..

Summer was now at home. The kids were napping and so was she.

"Summer," Chase whispered.

Summer looked at Chase. "Chandler?"

"No…It's me Chase."

"What?" Chase hadn't come to her in a dream in a long time. She wasn't sure why he was there now.

"We need to talk. It is very important."

Jamie was at the studio. Hunter walked in.

"Hey Hunt…What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you about something.'

"Okay?"

"I'm moving…Well all of us are moving…Jess, Ally, and Grayson. We're going to New York with McKenzie and Mark.'

"That's a big decision."

"I think it is the best decision for my family."

"What did dad say?"

"I don't know how to tell him.'

"You're just going to have to tell him. You can't really keep something like that from him.'

"I know, but what if he gets mad."

"Dad is not going to get mad. He doesn't get mad about stuff like that. If this is something that you want he'll be happy for you."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive. I'm proud of you. I was never able to leave."

Hunter nodded. "It is the best thing to do for my family."

"Then go for it bro….I can visit you and Isabella at the same time."

Hunter hugged his brother. "Thanks for the advice."

"Anytime…"

….

Millie and Max are outside his house. "I'm so glad you came over. I have wanted to do this ever since we were at your house." He leans in and kisses her.

"That was nice," she smiled.

"It was perfect." He leans in and kisses her again.

"Max," Jake walks outside.

"Dad…"

"You should go inside, and Millie you should leave."

"I just wanted to see Max for a few minutes." Millie told him.

"I don't think that you should see Max at all."

"What?" Max looked at his dad.

"Millie, I am sorry, but I do not want you around Max."

"Dad, you can't do that."

"Yes I can…end of discussion."

Max rolled his eyes. "I hate you."

"Mr. Jagelski."

"I'm sorry Millie, but you aren't good for my son. I can't trust you with him. I want you to go."

Millie looks at Max and walks away. Life just wasn't fair.

….

Riley walks out of the café holding Mason. "Was that a good lunch or what?"

"Yum," Mason rubbed his stomach.

"Good…"

"Riley," Ellie stopped him. She smiled. Mason was getting so big.

"We've got to go."

"Wait, Riley…Please talk to me.'

"Ellie…There is nothing left for me to say to you….Stay away from me and from my son." Riley walked away.

Ellie had to fix her mistakes.

….

Brooke and the kids are playing in the park. Brooke walks over to the park bench to sit down and watch. She was kind of tired.

"The greatest kind of love is the love you never saw coming." Nathan says as he walks up behind her. Brooke turns around. "I never could have predicted that we would fall in love and create a family together, but we did. And although it isn't perfect and we have our problems, our love is undeniable. We fit together Brooke Davis Scott….Like two pieces of a puzzle, a puzzle that has an awkward shape, but always fits together perfectly." Nathan touched her face. "I'm sorry for being such a dick. You were only doing what was right for our daughter and our granddaughter. I should have seen it a long time ago. I don't want to spend any more time fighting…I just want to spend the rest of my life loving you Brooke….Can you handle that?"

"I can definitely handle that." She leans in and kisses him. "I have missed your lips so much."

"They are all yours baby." Nathan smiles and kisses her again.

Sophie watched them from the swings. She was so happy they were back together. She didn't want them to get a divorce.

Alright so let me know what you thought.

I will try my best to update tomorrow.
