SAME PLOT:
it takes places after the season finale, Haley returned and Nathan went to camp, not saying a lot to her, Haley stayed at the apartment. Lucas has been hanging with Peyton and hales all summer, but he misses Brooke and she hasn't called, Nathan hasn't called anyone in tree hill besides Peyton, Dan's death and the police are still investigating, Brooke went to Cali and spent a lot of time with new friends and making out with random guys, trying to convince herself she doesn't love Lucas, we start the story on the day Nathan and Brooke are due to return :) the first chapter is short, sorry :)
Previously:
"Good luck, with Brooke.." Peyton smiles, she knew what happened between them before the summer, Lucas had explained everything to her and she felt bad for him, he poured out his heart only to get it Broken, she could only hope Brooke will come back and see sense
"Thank you...you too" he smiles and Peyton gives him a strange look then realises she cant fool him "Thanks" she says hugging him briefly, she then leaves and heads for the airport in her car.
"Hey Luke..." Brooke smiles sweetly and walks past him "do i have alot to tell you or what.." she giggles
Chapter 2 – Finally I see you
Arriving at the airport, more nervousness flows through her, clutching her chest and taking a deep breathe, she try's to calm herself before she sees him…
"Peyton?" she hears is voice and immediately smiles, turning to face him, there he is, handsome as ever, big cheesy grin on his face, famous Scott smirk showing alittle..
"Hey Nate" she walks to him and he pulls her to him almost immediately, she smiles wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face in his chest "I missed you" he whispers, his face in her hair
She smiles hearing him and mumbles into his chest "me too" before finally and not expectantly pulls from him, looking into his beautiful baby blue eyes
"Took your time.." he says lightening the mood and she chuckles
"Well Scott, the best things are worth the wait" she winks playfully at him and he then chuckles
"Lets get me home.." he says smiling at her, but instead he was very nervous, he knew Haley was waiting for him when he got back and he really didn't wanna face her..
"Yep" she links her arm with his and he grabs one bag in the other hand and she grabs one for him, he smiles thankfully and they walk happily chatting to the car
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brooke and Lucas awkwardly sit on his bed, both staring at their hands, not one of them spoken since Brooke did on arrival..
"Soo this is awkward" Brooke finally says glancing at him and he chuckles
"Yeah.." he looks at her too "I missed you" he says suddenly and she looks alittle wide eyed at his frankness
"I missed you too" she says and sighs relief at confessing that finally "god I never thought we would be like this, never" she shrugs while talking
"Me either" he says turning his body to face hers "Look Brooke about what happened before you left, i.."
"Lucas don't.." she cuts him off and sadness washes over him, wondering what was coming next, probably something like 'lets forget it' or 'you shouldn't have done it'
"no Brooke I have to, ok I…I love you and I want to be with you, im never gonna hide that, not anymore" he says taking her hand and placing it in his bigger one
She looks into his eyes for the second time of the day "you..you love me?" she says not being able to believe what she heard
"With all my heart" he says onestly
"WOW…" she is about to speak when she hears her phone, she picks it out of her baby pink handbag and looks at it, it wasn't a phone call but a picture message, she sighs when she sees it and Lucas looks at her sad face wondering why she looked so embarred and disappointed, he leans over her shoulder alittle to see the phone and sees a picture of Brooke and some guy making out…
"just a picture message" she closes her phone, not know he saw the picture, he sits back again to his position, in shock and hurting like hell, he looks up to meet her eyes and she immediately knows he saw the message..
"Its, its not what it looks like.." she says slowly, this time its her taking HIS hand "it was just…just the summer"
He sighs sadly "its ok, its not like..like we were together" he looks down at their hands and feels tears stinging in his eyes
"but we are now right?" he looks surprised at her, that she wants them to be together "how do you feel about me Brooke?"
"I love you too"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pulling up outside his apartment block, she turns off the car and faces him..
"So I guess I will see you later then huh?" she smiles at his words, even though the thought of being away from him now he just came back, was horrible, she knew he would walk into that apartment and be bombarded by a wife and issues, she didn't want that for him, she wanted him to be happy and not stressful and sad
"Yeah see you later.." she says as cheerfully as she can
"How about we meet up later, for something to eat? Say 7?"
"Ok, just I already invited Lucas and Brooke along too, I hope that's ok?" she asks, she wanted to be alone with him, that's all she wanted, but she had missed Brooke too and them all hanging out would be fun
"Yeah sure its fine, thanks for the ride Peyton" he smiles not wanting to leave the car but knows he has too, he leans over and places a sweet kiss on her cheek "its great to be back.."
"Great to Have you back, Tree Hill is not the same without Nathan Scott" she smiles and he turns to get out of the car and her hand immediately reaches for his "good luck, don't let her hurt you again Nathan" she says softly but sternly
"I wont" he nods and sweetly kisses her hand before getting out, grabbing his bags and disappearing into the apartment block
She smiles looking down at her hand and bringing it to her lips, kissing the place he kissed softly and then turning to drive
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walking to the door, he doesn't know whether to know or just enter, it is his apartment, he is just so nervous or what to say and do, opening the door, he walks in, a sigh of relief flooding over him as he doesn't see Haley in the living room or kitchen, he drops his bags near the couch and heads for the bedroom "Haley?" he walks into the bedroom and again, no sign of her, she isn't home, he sits on the edge of the bed and puts his face in his hands, just trying to think of what to do next.
