Chapter 1: "So long ago"
16 year old Logan Scott sat at her lunch table munching on her lunch, listening to the incoherent ramblings of her best friend Aspen Wood.
She and Aspen had met the first day of kindergarten. Aspen was the only person that she found that had more siblings then her. As Aspen described it her parents were new-age hippies, and they didn't believe in birth control. Luckily Aspen did. She was one of the strangest people that you would ever meet, so were her siblings. Their names were weird. There was Canyon, who was 15, he had a crush her little sister Hannah who was the same age. Then there was River, Phoenix, Dallas, Ridge, River, Horizon, Sunset, Breeze, and then there was Sara Jane. Nobody quite knew where that one came from.
"So what are your plans for the summer?" Aspen asked polishing off her third Twinkie.
"Spencer's going down to Tree Hill to work at his grandma's coffee shop over the summer before he goes to college so he asked me if I wanted to ride. I think that I may go. We'd stay for like two weeks and then go visit Jenny at her place down in Florida." Logan explained.
Now Logan was almost a spitting image of Brooke at her age, but on the flip-side she had the personality of Haley. She was smart, and pretty quiet. She kept to herself. Sure she made her share of mistakes, and tried out "herbal supplements" on several occasions, but that was just between she and Aspen. She would not be known around school at all if she was not best friends with Aspen and Spencer… EVERBODY knew Aspen, and Spencer was like her big brother. The basketball star that everyone idolized. Yup, she was known as Spencer Scott's cousin.
"And of course if I go my best friend is welcome!" Logan said winking at Aspen.
"Dude, of course I'm in. How could I pass up spending time in a confined area for extended amounts of time with Spencer Scott?" She said taking a spit of her water flirtatiously, tossing a strand of blonde hair over her shoulder. "Have your parents said that it was okay yet?"
Logan rolled her eyes.
"I haven't even asked. I bet they'll say no." Logan said leaning back in her chair
"Maybe they won't!" Aspen said hopefully
"I mean, you'd figure they would. They have so many kids doesn't it make sense for them to want to get rid of one for the summer? But with them you never know." Logan said in a defeated tone.
"The least you can do is ask. School gets out Friday. I don't know how long you can put it of."
Every once in awhile Aspen made sense. This was one of those times. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch.
The rest of the day passed quickly. They just had finals which Logan totally crammed for and was positive she aced.
At the end of the day she sat on the hood of Spencers car waiting for him, Hannah, her 15 tear old sister, and Cody, Spencers sister who was the same age. The she spotted Spencer approaching with two of his meat headed basketball playing friends.
"Hey." Spencer said walking up to the car.
Spencer had the same face as his father, with the eyes of his mother. His hair hung in loose curls around his face. He was a little more built than his father was at his age, and a little taller. Nobody was quite sure where he got his height from. Lucas, his dad said that it was probably from Dan, their grandfather. But Spencer had never met him, none of them actually had.
"Hey." Logan said getting off the hood of his car. It was old and beaten up now. It used to be his mothers.
"Spence, you gonna be at the party Thursday night? Rand's place, you know what that means." His friend Rocky asked
"I'm there." Spencer said.
"Kendall's gonna be there." His other friend Drew said winking at him. "Everyone wants to hit that!" He said high fiving Rocky.
"No man, you know I'm not interested in that." Spencer said
"Oh yeah, that's right, Scott's got a college girl." Rocky said raising his eyesbrows.
"Jenny Jagelski." Drew said looking up at the sky as if to praise god. "I wouldn't want Kendall if I had that either."
Logan rolled her eyes at the immature seniors.
"Are you ready?" She said getting in the front seat when she saw Cody and Hannah come up.
"Yeah, see you around guys." As the four teens piled into the car and sped off.
"God Spencer, when did you start driving like your mother?" Hannah commented more than asked
"NOBODY drives as bad as my mom!" Cody corrected her.
Logan knew what she meant. She had been in the car a time or two with Haley. Cody looked exactly like her brother, long curly untamed hair. Her eyes were a piercing blue. Hannah had chocolate brown hair, that contrasted with her light brown eyes. They were so light infact that against her hair sometimes they looked non-existent.
Spencer stopped at the Scott house… well the Scott house of his cousins.
"Call me later tonight about the trip?" Spencer asked
"Yeah." Logan said grinding her teeth as she got out of the car, Hannah trailing behind. Logan was not in any rush to ask her parents.
"What trip?" Hannah asked as she made her way to the front door.
"Nothing." Logan said too quickly.
She and Hannah used to always be close, but since high school the two began to drift apart. They were the first to get home, all of the younger kids were still in school. It would be at least a half an hour before middle schoolers Cassidy, Rebecca, and Kylie Rhea would be home, and an hour and a half before the troublesome twosome, other wise known as Jacob, and Gabe would be home. Today though her parents both had off. Haley didn't work at the coffee shops on Wednesdays, and her father had the week off because the kids were driving Haley crazy.
"Hey mom." Hannah said when she came in giving her mother a kiss on the cheek.
"How was your Algebra final?" Haley asked Hannah
"Um, I think I passed for what it's worth." Hannah said putting on a fake smile. "Actually River is coming over tonight and we're going to study for History." River was Aspen's little sister, and Canyon's twin.
"Sounds good." Haley said as Hannah kissed her on the cheek and ran upstairs. "How was your day?" Haley asked her eldest daughter
"Alright." Logan said slipping in the seat across from her mother.
Not a lot of people believed that Nathan and Haley were her parents, or Peyton and Luke were Spencers for that matter. They had them pretty young. Well her FATHER had her young. She knew that Haley wasn't her biological mother, but to her it made no difference. She had no interest in meeting this Brooke woman or having any kind of relationship with her. As far as she was concerned Haley had given birth to her.
"Actually I have a question to ask you?" Logan said scooting her chair in closer to the table
"What's up?" Haley asked
"Spencer wanted me to go with him back to Tree Hill for two weeks to visit Karen." Logan said.
"Why do I get the feeling that there's more?" Haley said knowing her daughter all too well.
"And then we'd go down to Florida to visit Jenny." Logan said quickly with a smile.
"So I am guessing that Spencer will be driving?" Haley asked
"Come on mom, his driving isn't that bad! He doesn't take after Aunt Peyton COMPLETELY you know!" She complained. "And his cars in good shape since Uncle Luke has the auto shop and-"
"I'll talk to your father when he gets home." Haley said.
"But mom!" Logan whined
"I said we'd talk, do you want me to change my mind." Haley said in a warning tone.
"Fine." Logan said slouching in her chair.
Right then a red-headed girl ran through the kitchen. She stopped when she saw Logan and Haley.
"Hey River." Haley said smiling warmly at the young girl.
"Hey Mrs. Scott." River said smiling. "Is Hannah around?" She asked
"Yeah, she's upstairs. You can go on up." Haley said.
"Thanks!" River said prancing up the stairs.
Right then Cassidy, Kylie Rhea, and Rebecca came in. Cassie was in 8th grade and going to the high school next year. Kylie Rhea was a sixth grader, and Rebecca was a 7th grader.
To look at them you could hardly tell that they were related. Cassie had light brown hair and tiny eyes, she was tall and thin, built like her father. Rebecca somehow turned out with dark red hair, she was average height and had freckles all over. She was so smart that they wanted her to skip a grade, but she opted not to for the time being. Kylie Rhea was small for her age She always wore her hair in two French braided pig tails, she had freckles on the bridge of her nose, and light brown hair. She was having a lot of trouble in school, but with Haleys help and a tutor she is doing better than before. Kylie was the last of the girls and always hung onto Nathan, 'Daddy's little girl.' It was enough to make Logan vomit.
"How was school?" Haley asked the girls as they raided the refrigerator.
"Hell." Cassie said causing Logan to chuckle.
"Language!" Haley warned.
"Mama, can I have some of this cake?" Kylie asked
"No. It's for the café. Why don't you have carrots or something." Haley suggested
"She's not a rabbit mom." Becca said
All of the girls sat down at the table as Logan got up.
"Where are you going?" Haley asked
"I'm meeting Aspen at the park. I'll be back later." Logan said grabbing her keys. "Remember talk to dad." She reminded her mother.
Spencer walked into his house and tossed his backpack on the floor.
"Hey." He said sitting at the table where his mother was sketching.
"Hey." Peyton responded not looking up from her work. "Are you packed for Tree Hill?" She asked
"Oh please mom, you know me better than that. Of course not." Spencer said walking over to the fridge, and taking a swig of orange juice from the carton.
"Spence, don't do that, that's gross." Peyton said pausing from her drawing to take a look at her son. "Do you know if Logan can ride with you yet?"
"I don't know. She's going to call me tonight." Spencer said as he closed the fridge.
A loud banging could be heard from upstairs.
"What the hell is that?" Spencer asked
"Gunner." Was all that Peyton needed to say.
That kid got into more trouble than humanly possible. When he and Kylie Rhea would play all bets of a peaceful day were off. He was the 6th grade terror.
"What'd he do now?"
"He knocked out some kid at school." Peyton said. "They sent him home early."
"Was it one of those little dorky kids again?" Spencer asked
"No, it was an eighth grader." Peyton said looking at her son.
"Maybe if you had named him something less hostile… like Kenny. Nobody goes wrong with Kenneth. But Gunner on the other hand, you're just asking for trouble." Spencer said.
"Are you done yet?" Peyton asked her son who shrugged. "Besides, he was almost Jaggar."
"So much better." Spencer said. "If not Kenneth then why not Eli, nobody really goes wrong with Eli either."
"Don't you have somewhere to be?" Peyton said laughing.
"No."
"Well then go to the auto shop and see your father. I'm not giving you money for this trip you know."
"Alright mom bye." Spencer said kissing his mother on the cheek.
As he was leaving the house he passed his little sister Tessa coming slowly up the walk. He stopped to see her.
"Hey Tess, how ya feeling?" He asked the 13 year old.
Spencer could hardly remember a time where Tessa wasn't sick at least every other week.
"Alright." She said drowsily.
"You're not looking to hot. I'm going to walk you inside." Spencer said taking her back pack and walking her inside. "Mom!" Spencer called inside. Peyton ran over as soon as she saw Tessa.
"Are you alright baby?" Peyton asked worriedly.
Tessa shrugged. She couldn't even lie about being sick anymore. It just wore her out.
"Spencer, can you carry her to her room?" Peyton asked him.
"No problem." Spencer said picking up his little sister. He turned to his mom. "She'll be okay." He said in a reassuring tone.
Aspen and Logan hung upside down on Aspen's bed. The two had just gotten stoned.
"I never knew that your ceiling was pink…" Logan said flipping off the bed, Aspen following.
"What'd the parentals say about the trip?"
"I just talked to my mom. She said she had to 'talk to my dad'." Logan said trying to use quotes but her fingers weren't working right.
"Do you ever wonder about Brooke?" Aspen asked
"No."
"Why not?" Aspen asked
"I don't know." Logan turned her head to look at her friend. "I look like her."
"How do you know?"
"I saw a picture at my Aunt Peytons house. They used to be best friends." Logan explained.
"Gotcha." Aspen said
"Dude, I've got the munchies." Logan said.
"Do you think you're more like Haley or Brooke?"
Logan took a moment to think.
"I don't know. I guess we'll find out huh?" She said looking at Aspen winking.
"Yeah, I guess we will. Now lets go get some food!" Aspen said as she raced her best friend downstairs.
