Chapter 3: A New Life 3 Years Later
An old building stood before her, not one of luxury or style. Just something simple, something that had a feeling of family in it. And family it had plenty of. Her next door neighbors had three children and her whole floor had up to nineteen children on it. The rent was easy to pay and the crime was down.
Peyton stood before her future like she had for the past 3 years. Knowing exactly what tomorrow would bring. And she was happy.
"Peyton, you coming. The days not getting any younger, let's go." A tall brunette stood before her in a red leather skirt and a white blouse with a scarf around her neck. Her hi-heeled boots made her look even taller.
"Yeah I'm coming just let me get Roxy out of the taxi first." Peyton reached behind her and picked up a toddler of two. The little girl had dirty blond hair with a hint of curl to it. And a smile that would make you feel great no matter what had happened to you that day. "Don't want to leave behind Roxy now do we" Peyton shifted Roxy to her hip and started walking towards the women.
"She is the cutest thing I have ever seen." The brunette leaned down and made a funny face in front of the girl. Roxy starts to cry.
"Great Elle, look what you did, you scared her," Peyton looked down at her daughter and smiled "With your scary face and all." She said sarcastically.
"Ha ha very funny, now lets go. My moms making dinner tonight." The girls hurried into the apartment complex.

Meanwhile:

The buzzer had just rang for the finish of the college basketball game. The crowds scattered and the teams went to the locker rooms. Except one. He looked around him in amazement at what he had accomplished. Lucas Scott was a college basketball player, and not for any college but for one of the leading basketball championship winners. He was on a free ride. And it felt great.
Lucas had finished high school as one of the top students (Haley was the Valedictorian of course). Karen was proud of him. But something bothered him through his last years of high school. No one knew what bothered him, well maybe except Haley and Nathan, no one really cared. Karen and Keith knew exactly what it was and they had given him all the talks that normal parents would give any child. But nothing changed, he would always put on a happy smile and say he was okay, but they knew the truth. Lucas was hurting. He probably always would hurt for that one lost love he may never find again. But who knows things can change.
