DISCLAIMER: I do not own Lucas, Brooke, Nathan, Hailey, Peyton, Keith, Karen, Deb, Whitey or that SOB Dan. I do however own Bella and Xander and whoever else I decide to invent for the sheer fun of it. I also do not own Friends or E! True Hollywood Story.
SUMMARY: We are jumping ahead a few months, so Luke and Bella moved in with Peyton and Xander, and everything is running smoothly. Luke and Brooke talked, and they are trying to put the past in the past and be friends.
Ok, so I guess it's ok to tell you that this story is Naley (duh, that's a given), and a Leyton [ I had a temporary laps of insanity where I was all like YEAH! Lucas and Peyton FOREVER! (Believe me it's gone) but I've written way too much to want to change anything. ] FYI Brooke's new boyfriend if James Evans.
Ok, like I said in the final chapter of What We Were, everyone is in their fourth year of University.
I'd like to thank all of you who have taken the time to review. You guys really make my day ( or night). And I'm sorry if the updates start getting few and far between. I just got a job and school starts up next week, and it's my senior year, so things will be crazy. I'll update as often as I can.

P POV
"Do we need spaghetti?" I asked.
"Uh... yes we do." Lucas said looking down at the grocery list.
"Daddy," Bella said pulling on Lucas's shirt. "Can we get some ice cream?" she continued. Lucas looked at me, and I nodded. "Sure, why not?" Lucas said.
"Yes!!!!!" Xander and Bella said doing the little victory dance they made up the other day. Luke and I smiled at them. I turned around to grab some spaghetti sauce and this lady like totally rammed into my side. "Uh, excuse me." I said raising my eyebrows. "Yeah excuse you, whatever lady, it was all your fault, coz you weren't lookin' " she said shooting me the finger and leaving. Luke raised his eyebrows. "What crawled up her ass and died?" I asked.
"Who knows." Lucas said.

H POV
"Hey Hales, what cha watching?" Nathan asked walking into the living room.
"Some E! True Hollywood Story on the cast of Friends. How was class?" I said.
"Fine. Hailey, that show has been over for six years. Get over it." Nathan said sitting down on the couch. I leaned my head against his shoulder. "We've been together for six years." I said.
"Yeah, that's different, we are REAL people. Those guys are just fictional characters. Plus I love you and I never ever loved that show." I laughed.
"I love you too Nate." I said kissing him.
"Now hush!! I'm watching something!!"

L POV
"Luke have you seen my big paint brush??" Peyton asked coming out from behind her easel in the living room. "Didn't you leave it in the kitchen sink?" I asked. "Oh yeah! You are a life saver Lucas Scott!! XANDER WILLIAM SAWYER!!! Didn't I tell you to clean up your toys and hour ago??" Peyton asked.
"O-tay mom! Jeez! What crawled up your ass and died??" Xander asked.
"Excuse me? What did you just say?" Peyton asked.
"What crawled up your ass and died? What is there somefing wrong wif sayin' that?" Xander asked. Peyton sighed and crouched down to Xander's level.
"Honey, it's not nice for little boys to say things like that. Especially to their mommies." Peyton said. Xander stood there in serious thought for a minute. "But mom, you said it to the 'wady in the store." Xander said. Peyton sighed again.
"I know, and I'm sorry. That was my mistake. Sometimes, when grown-ups get angry they say things kid shouldn't be saying. , just because I say something doesn't mean that you can say it. Got it?" Peyton asked.
"Got it mommy." Xander
"Good. Now go get clean up your toys, you are going to your aunt Hailey's and Uncle Nate's as soon as Bella leaves to spend the weekend with her mom."
I walked down the hall into Bella's room to see if she was ready to go with Brooke. "Daddy, is it almost time for me to leave with mommy?" Bella asked.
"Any minute now. Do you have all of the toys you want to bring?" I asked. Bella nodded. "I miss her all the time daddy." Bella said.
"I know baby." I said kissing her forehead.

"BEEP!" The door bell went off. "Hey Brooke." I said opening the door.
"Hey Peyton." She said giving me a hug.
"Bell, your mom is here!" I called.
"MOOOOOOOMMMMMMMY!!!!!!!!!" Bella cried running to see Brooke. Brooke went down on her knees and scooped Bella up. "Hey there baby." Brooke said giving her a kiss. "I missed you sooooo much." Bella said.
"I missed you too sweetheart." Bella said burying her head into Brooke's shoulder. "Then move back in with me and daddy." Bella said.
"I can't honey, things aren't that simple.
FLASHBACK
B POV
"Luke! You home yet?" I called.
"Yeah, I just got home. Where's Bella?" Lucas said.
"With Hailey and Nathan. "I said.
"What's the matter?" Lucas asked.
"Like you care." I mumbled.
"How can you say I don't care?!?!?!?!" Lucas asked.
"BECAUSE YOU DON'T! YOU HAVEN'T CARED ABOUT ME IN A LONG TIME LUKE!!"
"HOW CAN YOU EVEN SAY THAT BROOKE??"
"HOW? HE WANTS TO KNOW HOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! I'LL TELL YOU HOW. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU KISSED, REALLY KISSED, OR LOOKED AT ME LUKE? HUH? WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU LOOKED AT ME THE WAY YOU USED TO WHEN WE WERE IN HIGH SCHOOL? OR BETTER YET, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAID I LOVE YOU TO ME? HUH? ANSWER ME THAT!!!" I yelled.
"BROOKE! I WORK, I GO TO SCHOOL, I HELP YOU TAKE CARE OF OUR DAUGHTER. I'M SORRY IF I'VE BEEN PREOCCUPIED!!"
"AND I DON'T WORK, OR GO TO SCHOOL, OR TAKE CARE OF ISABELLA?? HUH?? JUST FACE IT LUCAS, YOU DON'T LOVE ME LIKE THAT ANYMORE!!"
"Whatever Brooke. I've got to go to work." Lucas said walking towards the door.
"SEE!!?? YOU WON'T EVEN DENY IT!!" Lucas didn't say anything, he just slammed the door, and I sat down on the couch and cried.

"Why?" Bella asked.
"It's just not. Trust me ok? It's better for us all like this. I promise." Brooke said.
Lucas came into the hallway. "Hi Brooke." Lucas said.
"Hey Luke." She replied.
"You be a good girl for your mom ok?" Lucas asked Bella.
"I will daddy. You be good too. Love you daddy. Bye aunt Peyton." Bella said.
"I love you too Bella." Lucas said.
"Hang on a second Brooke. Let me go get Xander and I'll walk you out. He's staying over at Nate's and Hailey's."
