Author's Note : Thank you my readers. This was a packed chapter. Leave me feedback
And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be or lose that person completely."
I wake up and see a picture of me and Camden. Then i see a picture of my friends. And lastly i see a picture of my mom and Keith. All of that is on both end tables by the bed.
"You're new here. I can always tell when someone goes out of their way not to miss anything in the schedule."
"I'm you're roommate. Jimmy Edwards." The young man. Stuck out his hand to Lucas.
Lucas introduced himself and realized only then that Jimmy was barely unpacked and he had been there a few days like himself.
Jimmy had a full face. White skin. Blue eyes. Brown hair and glasses. He towered over Lucas at 5 '11
"I've been in and out of these programs since i was in high school. We went to the same one. I'm from Tree Hill too."
"You're brother is a pain in the ass. And hid girlfriend is no better."
"But i don't care about them. What matters is how badly do you want to get clean and what are you willing to sacrifice to do it.?" Jimmy questioned.
"Bad and anything. I can't keep going on like this." Lucas admitted.
"We'll do it together. Once we're out of here. We'll become the best verisons of ourselves." Jimmy proclaimed.

Peyton gazed up at Jake. Crossing her arms around herself.
"You wish this was you're baby. But it's not. Nathan and I have been together for years. We're getting married. You think i would risk that for some random guy.? I feel nothing for you but pity."
"Stay away from me and forget we ever met!"
"You were a mistake. A regret!" Peyton exclaimed.
"Well since you put it that way. I have no reason to keep quiet about our hook up. To Nathan. To Dan Scott. To Deb. You know you're surrogate family."
"What would they think about you betraying their son.?"
"Nathan would want a dna test done that can happen during pregnancy." Jake questioned.
Peyton glared up at him. "You come for me. And my relationship with Nathan. You'll regret it." She stated matter of fact.

Lucas entered the visiting area. His heart jumping into his throat. At the sight of Brooke. Seated at a table.
Lucas swallowed hard. Feeling nervous once they were face to face.
"I know you requested we have distance and space."
"Which i understand alot better now. Given what you're dealing with."
"You pushed me away out of self preservation. I get it."
"But i care about you. I don't scare easily."
"And i want to be someone you can go to for support and understanding. With you're permission."
"I would like to get to know Camden better. He's you're son. A huge part of you're life and you're heart."
"Which means he's important to you. And that makes him important to me."
"But if you don't want that. I'll back off." Brooke stated matter of fact.
"I care about you too. But i can't be be with you."
"It's too much. I need to figure out my problems and sort out my life. I don't want you to fix me or be forced to carry my burden because you care. That isn't right or fair."
"Until further notice. All i can offer is friendship." Lucas stated matter of fact.
"I'll take it." Brooke replied.
"And i support you getting to know Camden better. But you are under no obligation to do that." Lucas said.
