Peyton was in a state of bliss the rest of the day. She just walked around in a daze, she was engaged, not only engaged, but engaged to Lucas Scott the man she had loved since highschool. Peyton and Lucas decided to stay at Karen's house the entire day. They were both enjoying being engaged. Finally after everything was cleaned up Lucas suggested they watch a movie. They both sat on the couch and turned on the TV and started to watch "Meet the Parents". They snuggled close together both cause they were in love and also because it was snowing outside and the house was cold. After awhile Lucas looked over and noticed Peyton asleep. He carried her into his room and tucked her in, wanting her to get as much sleep as possible. Lucas then left the room and walked into the kitchen where he found his mom and Keith sitting, drinking some hot chocolate.
"What happened to the movie?" Karen asked
"Well Peyton fell asleep, and I have seen the movie so many times I decided to see what the two of you were up to." As Lucas said this he looked down and noticed that Karen had a few albums open, his baby book, one from elementary school, middle school, highschool, and the few pictures from college, times such as graduation and the first day of college. "Mom why are you looking at these? They have not been open in awhile"
"I figured that since you were engaged now, and officially a grown up I would look at them and remember the good old times, well not all were good. I do remember a few times in highschool, such as the time when I was in Italy that you come home drunk and with a tattoo"
Both Lucas and Keith blushed at that memory, remembering how mad Karen was when she found out, and how long Lucas was grounded for.
"What can I tell you mom, I was an overall good kid. Everyone has to mess up a few times in their life"
Karen laughed "This is true, the good comes with the bad. I am just so excited, now Peyton and I can start planning the wedding!"
Lucas started to get scared, he was afraid this wedding was going to turn into something completely out of hand. "You know mom, maybe something small, just family and friends"
"Fine, but you know it is not every day that my son gets married, so I am going to have to celebrate it a little"
"I know mom"
"Lucas when are you going to the beach house?" asked Keith
"I think our plan was to leave here around 3. We never set a time, but I figured that time works."
"I know that Haley and Nathan are staying there, so whenever you show up I am sure someone will be there. Are Brooke, Jake, and Jenny going to be there?"
"I have no idea, no one really keeps in touch anymore. I mean Nathan and I talk just because we are brothers, but otherwise no one really does. I guess we will find out who shows up soon. I actually hope that Jake and Jenny are there at least, I would love to see how Jenny is doing, it is strange to think she is a teenager. I am sure she is driving Jake crazy"
Lucas looked over and saw that it was already 2:30 and figured he should start to wake up Peyton and get in the shower. At least they were going to try and leave at 3, but he figured it would be later.
He walked into his bedroom and noticed Peyton already awake just staring up at the ceiling. "What's wrong babe?"
"Nothing is wrong at all, everything is perfect, I am just kinda nervous about tonight, I mean we have not talked to some of these people in a long time, and all of a sudden we are going to spend the entire night catching up. What if Brooke is still mad at us? I am just worried that is all."
"You have nothing to worry about at all, I am sure that Brooke couldn't hold a grudge for 20 years, that would be impossible even for her. And we are engaged now, there is nothing that can be done to split us up."
That brought a smile to Peyton's face. She knew everything would be okay if she was with Lucas, she always felt like that. Peyton decided to get up and hop in the shower. "I figure once we are done getting ready we should just get this over with and go down to the beach house and see everyone."
"Sounds good to me"
30 minutes later both were showered, dressed and ready to go reunite with the long lost friends from highschool. They had no idea where it would lead them
Thank you for all the reviews, it keeps me writing, so keep reviewing, I am trying to update as quickly as possible. I think I should have another 2 chapters done by tonight!
