Sorry this review has taken so long to be posted, but I have been sick. This review may also stink do to the fact that my brain is a little out of it. Sorry if it does.
Please review! I didn't get as many updates for the last chapter as usual.
The river court was empty as Lucas and Nathan approached it. It felt good to Lucas to be back on this court playing the game that he loved so much. He never realized how much he missed the game or this court when he was in Charleston.
Lucas made a shot from half court and as it swished through the hoop. Nathan said, "Nice Shot. I guess the time away didn't hurt your game too much."
"Maybe not, but my shoulder is telling me that I have been away too long."
"You ready to get your butt whipped again?" Nathan asked
"Let's do it"
Meanwhile back at the café. Haley was finishing up her shift. She walked over to where Brooke and Peyton sat still with blank looks on their faces.
"Are you two ok?" Haley asked them
"Yeah." Peyton answered
"So, Lucas is really coming back to Tree Hill?" Brooke asked
"Yea, he is."
"When did he decided that?" Peyton asked
"The other day. He really missed all of us and I guess he felt was it was the right time to come home."
"Oh" was all Brooke said
"He missed you two also you know. He really wants to be friends again." Haley knew she shouldn't be getting in the middle of this mess, but these were her friends and she wanted them all to be happy again. Neither one of them said anything to Haley's previous statement. Haley just looked at them and sighed. This was going to be harder than she thought. "Well I am going to go finish up my shift. I am heading to the river court when I am done if you want to join me. The guys are playing a rematch game from last night and I heard it is going to be really good." When Haley received no answer she walked back towards the counter. A few minutes later Brooke and Peyton got up to leave and shouted their good-byes to Haley as they walked out the door.
When Haley got to the river court the game had not started yet, but the bleachers were full. She sat down next to Mouth and waited for the game to start.
Nathan spotted Haley in the bleachers and walked over to her. "Hey you, I thought you were going home after your shift." Nathan stated.
"I was going to, but I wanted to see the rematch from the awesome game last night that I heard so much about."
"It was awesome. This one will be too" Mouth said
"Nate, lets play man" Junk yelled from the court.
"Have fun" Haley said as she gave Nathan a good luck kiss
"Alright folks these two teams will battle it out again tonight after last nights victory for Lucas, skills, and Fergie. Who will win tonight? Will it be another victory for the trio or will Nathan, Junk, and Jimmy shut them out? It looks like we are about to find out as Jimmy and Fergie face off at center court." Mouth said.
After 20 minutes of playing the game was tied at 24 and Nathan had the ball going for the winning shot.
"Where do you think you are going, little bro?" Lucas asked as Nathan tried to get away from him to make the game shot.
"I am making the winning shot." Nathan replied as he shot the ball.
The ball went through the hoop and Nathan looked at Lucas, "Told you I was going to whip your butt."
"Let's go again then."
"Lets go" Nathan responded
"Break first and then we can play another." Skills said
Nathan and Lucas shrugged and walk over to where Haley is still sitting and took a seat on either side of her.
"Good shot Nate." Haley said before giving him a kiss
"Thanks Hales"
"You played good too Lucas."
"Don't I get a kiss? Lucas asked jokingly. Haley gives him a kiss on the cheek.
"So anything interesting happen after we left the café?" Lucas asked
"Your mom was upset that you had left and not said anything to her. She said she would see you at home later. I talked with Peyton and Brooke and them we would be out here and they should come, but they didn't respond."
"I think they just did" Nathan said. "Here they come"
Lucas and Haley turned in their seats to see Brooke and Peyton getting out of Brooke's car and walking toward the court. They walked right up to them and stood there.
Peyton was the first to speak, "Did we miss the game?"
"Just one of them. We are about to play another one." Nathan responded
"Who won?"
"Nathan, Jimmy and Junk." Lucas responded
"You guys have attracted a good crowd" Brooke said
"Everyone came to see if Lucas still has it" Mouth stated from the sidelines.
"Do you, Lucas?" Brooke asked
"I guess"
"Well let see it. We have missed watching you play." Peyton said
"Lets get this game started" Skills yelled from the court
Lucas and Nathan headed out on the court leaving Haley with Brooke and Peyton.
"We have missed him too" Brooke said to Haley.
Haley just smiled and knew that they were on their way back to a building the friendship they had once lost. Lucas knew it also and he smiled as the game started knowing he had made a smart move coming home this weekend.
