Brooke celebrated Christmas the way she always did alone. She was staying in her parents' house, except like usual they were gone on some expensive trip. She believed this time it was a cruise to some place exotic, and like usual they never asked her to come along. Brooke arrived in Tree Hill late Christmas Eve after her flight was delayed several times due to bad weather. She could not believe it. Well she decided to sleep in and pamper herself. Usually while she is living at home in LA she never gets to sleep in, she is up early starting the work she loves to do, plus in LA the pressure is on to be thin, so Brooke loves to wake up and go for a nice long run. She decided however though, that during this vacation she is not going to worry about working out, she is just going to relax.
Brooke knew that since she was not going to be spending Christmas with anyone special, or be receiving presents from anyone special she went out and bought herself some gifts. One was a very expensive purse from Louis Vuitton, she also bought herself tons of clothes from Gucci, Prada, and other designers. Brooke loved to spend her money on herself. Brooke had to admit that although she loved living in LA she missed Tree Hill, all the memories it held for her, though not all of them good. She had forgiven Lucas and Peyton before their senior year and the three of them had a good relationship, although she lost touch with them. Brooke had lost touch with everyone, she was too busy starting her own business and then dealing with the success of it.
She could not wait to be reunited with everyone. She hoped that everyone remembered, she wanted to see what they were up to. If Nathan and Haley were still married, if Lucas and Peyton were still together, and of course see what Jake and Jenny were doing. She could not believe how old Jenny is now. It is weird to think that she use to be that age once.
Jake had finally arrived into Tree Hill. Like Brooke he got stuck with bad weather and his flight was delayed. Of course dealing with Jenny was hard enough. Now that she was a teenager, they didn't seem as close as they once use to be. Jenny use to tell Jake everything, but now she seemed as if she was keeping a secret. Jake had no idea what is was, and was hoping it wasn't something too serious.
They had finally arrived in Tree Hill. They were going to stay at his parents house. His parents were gone for the vacation, going somewhere was it was warm to relax. Jake carried all the suitcases into the house, those contained most of Jenny's clothes and gifts. He barely brought anything with him. It was weird being back in Tree Hill. He had left the day after graduation not wanting to wait around for another moment in case Nikki came back. Luckily she never did.
Jenny found her old room and went straight to bed. Jake, although exhausted decided to put up the Christmas Tree. Before his parents left they had gone out and bought a Christmas tree for their son and granddaughter, they left the ordaments out too for Jake and Jenny to decorate. Jake had a feeling Jenny would not want to partake in this activity, so it was left up to him. Before he went to bed that night, the tree was decorated and all Jenny's presents were under the tree.
Jake was extremely excited for tomorrow to see everyone again. Jenny does not remember everyone that well but Jake has told her many stories of the times when his friend's help him out and also fought for him. Jake wanted to know where everyone was. He tried to keep track of them in college, watching them play basketball like always, but soon it became difficult, especially once everyone graduation for college. Like Jake Jenny loved to play basketball. She made varsity all four years of highschool and was going to get a college scholarship which put Jake's mind at ease of how he was going to pay of college. Jake never forced Jenny into playing, it was something that came naturally to her.
Everyone once in awhile Jenny would ask about her mother, but Jenny knew that her mother was someone that was never there for her. She knew that when she was younger she use to think that Peyton, Haley, and Brooke were her moms. Unknown to Jake, Jenny kept a picture taken their senior year, they were all at the beach, It was a big group shot. Brooke was lying down, Jake had Jenny in his arms, and both Haley and Peyton were sitting in Nathan and Lucas's lap. It was one of the few memories that Jenny had and she kept that picture with her always. Her friends we jealous of these cute and extremely pretty women that Jenny had grown up loving as mothers. Jenny was excited to see them again and hoped that maybe they could help her with her problem, the reason why she had not been as close to her father as usual.
I figured I would combine Jake and Brooke's Christmas mornings, just because they were not as long.
Please review, I love getting review, and that way I will know if I should continue the story.
