Episode 11 Chapter 4 Till Death Do Us Part
"Chase," Summer smiled. "What are you doing here? This feels so real."
"It is as real as it can be, Summer." Chase touched her cheek. "You are so beautiful."
"I miss you."
"I miss you too. But you seem happy."
"Oh God…Are you mad at me for being with Jamie? I never wanted you to be angry with me."
"No," Chase smiled. "I never wanted you to be alone. I am not mad at you. I'm glad that you have Jamie. He loves you."
"I love him too….But he'll never be you."
"Summer…You need to tell him the truth about Landon."
Summer looked at him. "What are you talking about?"
"I know you're secret Summer. I've been watching over you, and I know what you did."
"Chase…"
"Jamie deserves to know. You deserve to know. You need to come clean."
"Landon is your son."
Chase smiled. "I know that is what you wanted." He touches her face. "You have to tell the truth Summer. You can't live this lie any longer."
"Mommy," Landon runs into the bedroom.
Summer is awakened, and Chase is gone.
"Hey buddy," She wraps her arms around him. "What's the matter?"
"I want my daddy."
Summer nodded. She did too.
…..
Nathan and Brooke are standing in the park. "So what was that for? I thought you were mad at me."
Nathan shook his head. "Not anymore. I'm sorry."
"I am too. I don't want to fight like that anymore."
"Me either."
"I want you to know that I am so lucky to have you, and I am never going to forget it again."
Brooke smiled. She didn't know what happened, but she was glad that it did.
….
"Dad," Max was furious. "I can't believe you did that."
"Max, I am sorry that you disagree with me, but this is for the best."
"I hate you."
"Well that's not the first time you told me that, so thanks."
"Guys…Please don't fight." Mia urged them to make up.
"Millie is my best friend, and no matter how hard you try you can't keep us apart."
"Just watch me." Jake yelled as Max stomped off to his room.
Mia just looked at her husband.
"What?"
"I think you're being too hard on him."
"Someone has to be hard on him."
Mia sighed, "What's really bothering you? Why don't you want him to be with Millie?"
"I know how girls like Millie are."
"Hmmm…"
"What? Why did you do that?"
"This has nothing to do with Max, does it?"
"This has everything to do with Max."
"No…This has to do with you, and Nikki."
Jake looked at her.
"You told me how you thought she was the most amazing girl in the world, and how she had you so fooled…You think that Millie is fooling Max."
Jake sat down. "All I could see was how amazing Nikki was. I couldn't see that she was evil. I mean she was really evil Mia."
"I don't think Millie is even in the same ballpark as Nikki was. She isn't evil…She is just a teenage girl trying to figure out who she is…Don't punish them because you are afraid that their relationship may turn out to be like yours and Nikki's. You have to trust in Max. He is smart, and he has a pretty good judgment of character." Mia kissed his cheek. "You can't protect him forever."
Jake didn't say anything.
…
Lexie opened the door to see Millie standing in front of her. "Millie, what are you doing here?"
Millie had tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"A really great guy cares about me, but his dad hates me…I don't know what to do. I need your help."
Lexie smiled. "Come in…Avery is napping…Tell me what happened."
"Max is the best guy I know. But his dad told me to stay away from him. I don't want to stay away from him. I don't know what to do."
"I think you should fight for him. If you care about him then you can't let him go."
"What if it causes problems? I'm tired of being the trouble maker."
Lexie smiled. "You are an amazing young girl Millie. You've made some mistakes, but we all make mistakes. You can't let people judge you for what you've done. You just have to show them that you have changed, and you are going to do better."
"Thanks Lexie…I'm really glad I came to talk to you." Millie hugged her.
"We're family Millie. I will be here for you no matter what."
"Thank you…"
"I owed you the world Millie."
"Tell Avery I'll come over soon."
"She'll be excited to see you."
In that moment Millie knew that she had made the right decision. Lexie was the perfect mother.
…
Graham was sitting in his office.
"Hey…" A man walked in.
"Oh hey Calvin…What's up?" Calvin was a fellow doctor.
"I need another doctor to join me at the convention next week."
Graham sighs, "I hate conventions."
"Come on Graham…It is only for a few days….Please!" Calvin begged.
Graham laughed. He couldn't believe a grown man was actually begging. "I have a fiancé and a family."
"I have a wife…Oh wait a minute you and Lily are getting married."
"Yeah…" Graham smiled.
"Congratulations man." Calvin smiled. "So what do you say? Please go with me."
Graham sighed, "Fine I'll go with you…Where is it anyways?"
"Charlotte…See…It isn't even that far away."
"Okay...I'm in." Graham chuckled.
…..
Michael walks into the back of the diner. He picked up his wallet. There was a picture of Lily.
"Oh my God," he had a flash back to one of his dreams. "She's the girl in my dreams."
Keith smiled. He knew Spencer was going to remember Lily. He had too.
…..
Hunter walked into Lucas and Peyton's house. "Dad," he called out for Nathan.
"Hey buddy," He walked downstairs. He had just gotten back with the kids. Brooke would be there soon.
"I'm moving to New York."
"What?" Nathan was taken by surprise.
"Mark got a scholarship to NYU. My kids need their mom, and Mark and McKenzie deserve to be happy."
"What are you going to do when you get to New York?"
"I'm going to get a job, and try to find a college…Dad…please…I need you to say that it is okay."
"I'm going to miss you, but if this is what you want I will not stand in your way."
"Really?"
"Yeah Hunter…You've got to do what you've got to do." Nathan laughed. "If you need anything you let me know. I'm still your dad, and I still want to help you."
"Thanks dad…I really am going to miss you."
Nathan hugged him. "You are a good boy."
….
Jessica walked into the studio. Jamie saw her. "Hey what brings you by?"
"Just left a CD here yesterday."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm great." She lied.
"You are not great. What's up?"
"How do I tell your brother that I don't want to go to New York?'
"What?"
"I don't want to go…I love your brother, but I want to stay in Tree Hill."
"He thinks that you are okay with it."
Jessica sits down. "I thought I was okay with it, but I'm not."
"What made you change your mind?"
"I feel like Hunter is supposed to go with McKenzie and Mark, but I don't feel like I'm supposed to be there…I don't know." Jessica had tears in her eyes. "I love him, but…Maybe it is not enough."
"I don't understand."
"I think it has something to do with Savannah and Drake…"
Jamie just looked at her.
"They are so in love…Drake is willing to do anything for Savannah, but in my case…If Hunter was dying I don't think I could have married him…"
"Wow! You need to talk to him."
"I know, but I'm afraid it is going to end in goodbye…And I'm not ready to say goodbye."
Jamie wrapped his arms around her.
….
Elizabeth and Keith are in the waiting room.
"Where are the girls?" Keith asked.
"Daniel is playing with them. He came with me to see if he was a match, but Drake is, so it doesn't matter."
"That was pretty sweet."
"Yeah…He is trying." Elizabeth sighed.
"What about Noah?"
"He is seeing someone else. I keep checking the mail for the divorce papers."
"Do you think that he wants a divorce?"
"I don't know what he wants, and right now I don't even know what I want…I just know raising two kids by myself and working is getting to be pretty hard…It isn't what I signed up for."
"At least you have Daniel…He is stepping up, at least from what I can see. And you always have me and Jacey."
"I know…But Daniel lives across town…and you have two little boys who happen to be a handful."
"Yeah…they surely are…Sawyer decided to flush our entire house down the toilet the other day…I thought we would never get the toilet to stop overflowing."
Elizabeth chuckled.
"What?"
"I can't believe this is our lives. I never would of thought that we would be sitting here talking about overflowing toilets."
Keith laughed, "Yeah but truth is I wouldn't change one minute of my life."
"Me either…I love being a mom."
"I hope that I'm able to have this conversation with Savannah in ten years."
Elizabeth smiled. "Savannah is going to be an amazing mother."
"Yeah…I sure hope so."
…
Savannah and Drake are both wheeled into surgery.
Lucas, Peyton, and Susan watch on.
The scene changes to Lucas sitting outside the hospital.
Dear Dad,
I want you to know that you are the greatest father I could have ever asked for. Do not let anyone ever tell you otherwise. You are the smartest, strongest man that I know.
You have taught me how to love, live, and dream. You always believed in me. I can remember when you taught me how to ride a bike for the first time. I was so afraid but you told me that I could do it. When I was having trouble counting to one hundred you helped me every day until I could count to five hundred. You helped me with my times tables, my reading, and everything else.
I'm going to be okay no matter what happens to me. Do not worry about me. You have taught me how to be brave.
I love you so much daddy, and just remember that I will always be your little girl…And I will always need you to hold my hand and tell me that I can do it.
Take care of mom and make sure she knows how special she is. Sometimes I think she forgets.
Love,
Your baby girl, Savannah
Lucas smiled. He loved his daughter so much. She had to be okay. Lucas wouldn't be able to take it if she wasn't.
…
Peyton is in the bathroom. She takes another drink.
Susan walks in.
Peyton hides her flask.
Susan saw it, but she doesn't say anything. "I'm so nervous."
"Me too…I think what Drake is doing for Savannah is the sweetest thing in the world."
"He loves her, and I think he would give his heart to Savannah if it meant that she could live forever."
Peyton wiped away her tears.
Susan hugged her.
"I don't know what I would do without one of my little girls."
"Let's hope that you never have to find out."
…..
In the operating room, Savannah is standing up looking at herself. The doctors are working on her.
"Oh my God…What's going on?"
"Savannah…"
She turns around to see Karen, Keith, Chase, and Haley.
"Oh my God…Am I dead?" Savannah has tears in her eyes.
….
Okay so first I would like to start off by saying that I am so sorry I did not get this up sooner. My life was crazy last week, but it is going to be much better this week.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I hope everyone liked the scene between Jake and Mia. I'm trying to show that Jake worries about Max because he feels Millie is a lot like Nikki. She is a little destructive at times. I think that was one of my favorite scenes for them.
Do you guys think Savannah is dead? Will Drake die?
Anyways please let me know what you thought and I will update tomorrow.
Oh and I wanted to say that Keith knew where Spencer was because he is an angel, and I feel like God sends angels to earth to help us out, and Keith was sent there for more than just Savannah.
