"Nathan" Haley said shocked
"Peyton!" Brooke said as she ran around the kitchen table to hug her "What are you guys doing here?"
"Your fiancée thought that it would be nice to have us all back together a little early" Jake answered
"Lucas and Logan have been planning this for weeks" Nathan added
Haley shot Lucas a glare and said "Lucas, I thought you didn't know Logan"
"I didn't until he called me a couple of weeks ago and said lets plan a surprise for you and Brooke. He knew we hadn't all been together in years"
"Oh thank you honey" Brooke said as she gave Logan a kiss "Where are my manners? Stacey, Mom, these are my friends from Tree Hill, Lucas, Nathan, Peyton, and Jake. Guys, this is Logan's mom Susan and his sister Stacey"
"Nice to meet you all" Stacey said
"Likewise" Jake stated
"Dad, what is for dinner?" Stacey asked looking at her father
"Barbecue"
"Good cause we are starved"
The group sat around for awhile and talked with Logan's family until they decided to head back to their hotel. The girls made plans to get together the next day for some more wedding shopping.
The gang all piled into Logan's black Tahoe. Brooke was talking a mile a minute trying to catch up with everyone. Haley and Nathan sat in the back making small talk trying to get past the awkwardness that they could both feel between them.
"So, how have you been Hales?"
"Good. Busy. I work all the time" Haley had become a physical therapist after college and worked for an orthopedic firm in Charlottesville Virginia.
"I know that feeling"
"How is basketball going?"
"Good. The team is talking about doing some trading with the Knicks"
"Are they talking about trading you?"
"Nah. They are talking about trading some other guys for some star players on the Knicks roaster"
"Is one of them your brother?"
"I don't know. We haven't heard anymore about it. They only thing we know is that they are trading."
"Well it would be quite interesting if Lucas came back to North Carolina. They always said you two would be unstoppable in you were on the same team"
"Yea, but I don't think it would be a wise idea of the knicks to trade Lucas. He is one of their best players."
"That is true. Does he have any idea about the trading going on?"
"I don't think so. We only know by accident. They are trying to keep it quiet until they know for sure who they are going to be trading for who"
"So how is Melissa?" Melissa was a girl Nathan had met his junior year of college when she transferred to UNC from the University of Texas. They had been together since then.
"Melissa and I...."
"Are you guys still together?"
"Nope. Our lives took different paths about 6 months ago, but I still talk to her every now and then."
"I can't believe I haven't talked to you in that long"
"Life does that. We just get too busy"
Brooke turned around from the front seat to talk with Peyton, Jake and Lucas. She loved having all of her friends' back together like this. She didn't realize how much she missed them until now.
"So, Jake, Peyton, When am I going to have a little niece or nephew to spoil?" Brooke asked
"You already have one" Jake answered
"I said little, Jake. Jenny is almost a teenager"
"Don't remind me"
Peyton laughed at the look on her husband's face and said to Brooke "you will have another niece or nephew to spoil when Lucas has a child"
"What?!?!" Lucas said from his seat. Brooke and Peyton started laughing at the look on Lucas's face.
"Yea Lucas. When are we going to have a niece or nephew to spoil rotten?"
"I don't think it is going to be anytime soon so don't hold your breath. Right now I think Nathan or Haley has a better chance of having a kid then I do"
"I don't know about Nathan, but Haley isn't seeing anybody not since Jackson" Brooke said
"Neither is Nathan. He hasn't even been on a date since Melissa" Lucas added
"What happened with Haley and Jackson? I never heard the whole story" Peyton asked
"I think Haley would want to tell you about that."
"I will have to ask her before this week is out" Peyton said nodding her head
"So, I guess you are not seeing anyone either, Lucas?" Jake asked
"Jake, you already know the answer to that question."
"Yea, your mom told me"
"Told you what?" Peyton asked her husband
"Lucas and...." Jake started
"I am dating a girl from High School" Lucas said
"Who?" Brooke asked wondering if she knew the girl who had caught Lucas
"Nicole" Lucas simply stated
"Nicole? From our cheering squad?" Peyton asked
"Yea. We ran to each other a couple of months ago at a diner and started talking"
"I didn't see that one coming" Brooke said with a shocked look her face
"Yea. I didn't either"
"What is Nicole up to these days?" Peyton asked
"She's one of our cheerleaders"
Brooke and Peyton mouths dropped "Peyt, you are drooling" Jake said closing Peyton's mouth
"Guys, we are here" Logan said from the driver seat as he pulled into a parking spot at the hotel.
The gang got out of the Tahoe and headed for the Lobby.
"Why do Peyton and Brooke look stunned?" Haley asked Jake
"Luke, just told them that Nicole from their cheering squad is a Knicks's cheerleader" Jake answered
"What?!" Haley said as she stopped dead in her tracks
"Why is it so hard to believe that Nicole is a Knicks cheerleader?" Lucas asked
"Come on, Luke. Nobody thought that Nicole would be a cheerleader outside of high school. She was always saying that she only did it so that it would look good on her college applications" Nathan answered "I personally would have expected Brooke or Peyton to become a professional cheerleader before Nicole"
"Yea, I guess you are right" Lucas said
"Alright guys, this our stop" Logan said as the elevator stopped at their floor.
"See you guys later" Brooke said as she stepped of the elevator "Haley, Peyton remember meet for breakfast at 930"
"We will be there" Haley answered
"I am so happy that Brooke is getting married. She looks so happy" Peyton said
"Did you guys notice that she is the only one who is still with her college sweetheart?" Nathan asked
"They are going to last" Lucas said as the elevator stopped at their floor and they stepped off
