SORRY I HAVENT UPDATED FOR AWHILE, I JUST STARTED ANOTHER TERM OF COLLEGE WHICH MEANS CRAZY SCHEDULES TO GET EVERYTHING DONE THE FIRST FEW WEEKS… BUT IM BACK I TRIED TO MAKE IT LONGER SO THAT IT WOULD MAKE UP FOR THE TIME IT TOOK FOR ME TO WRITE IT AND UPDATE
After a few weeks of college Brooke, Nathan, Peyton, Lucas, Haley, and Jake thought they had a routine going. They were all going to their classes which was a good start cause most college students usually skip their classes. Haley would spend most nights at Nathan's where as Lucas and Peyton spent a lot of nights at Peyton's dorm. Brooke sometimes spent time with Jake at night, but she knew that nights were precious to Jake and Jenny. That is when they spent their most time together. He would read to her, sing to her, and put her to bed.
Everything was going well between all the couples. Nathan and Haley acted at times as if they had been dating since they were born. Peyton and Lucas took things slowly and were both excited it was working this time. Peyton always had a feeling in the back of her mind as if something was going to go wrong, but so far nothing bad had happened. Jake and Brooke were going smoothly, taking things really slowly. It is hard to rush a relationship when there is a child involved. Brooke was never really the maternal type and everyone was shocked that Brooke had taken to Jenny so quickly.
Jenny was growing up with all of the college students as if they were part of her family. She was calling everyone "uncle" or "aunt". She had not started calling Brooke "mommy yet" but Jake was just waiting for the day. He had no idea how she would respond.
It was a Thursday afternoon and everyone had just finished their classes, one good thing about making your own schedule is that you can choose when you want to have classes, and everyone decided they didn't want classes on Friday, so their week had just ended. It had been a stressful week, papers due and tests to be taken. Haley had spent most of the week in the library trying to study and write her papers so Nathan and her had not spent much time together. Nathan was making up for that tonight though, he had decided to make her a romantic dinner in the suite, well more so he wasn't actually cooking Peyton was cooking.
Peyton had been drawing all week for her art class so she was not as stressed as everyone else was, but she most certainly was burnt out.
On top of all the papers to write and the tests to study for Nathan, Lucas, and Jake started basketball practice that week, making them super tired and taking up a ton of their "free" time.
After their first week of basketball practices the guys were exhausted and all they wanted to do was sleep the entire weekend. The girls had another idea. Nathan came back from his 12 pm practice and crashed on his bed. Luckily Nathan didn't have any classes today. As he was about to fall asleep he felt the opposite side of the bed decrease, knowing that Haley had just laid down. He rolled over to snuggle with her. She had other plans. "Nathan, time to wake up, the day is already over" Nathan was exhausted and this was the last thing he wanted right now, an energetic Haley. "Hales, as much as I love you I need sleep, I have been working my ass off at school and basketball all week long, all I want to do right now is sleep. Think about it, if I sleep now we can do something exciting tomorrow or maybe even tonight". As much as Haley wanted to do something now, she knew that Nathan was just going to be a brat and in a grumpy mood the entire day if he didn't get any sleep, plus she wanted to do something with him this weekend. She was thinking about a romantic date. It had been a long time since they had spent a nice night out together alone.
While Nathan was soon fast asleep and Haley was reading in bed Lucas was walking back to his room. He had decided to grab some lunch with Peyton since she was buying some art supplies from the bookstore. They decided to grab some lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. Although Lucas and Peyton had not eaten there before coming to college, they were growing to love it. It was "their" own place. As much as Lucas wanted to have a good conversation with Peyton he was so exhausted and Peyton knew it. She was just glad that they were spending time together. Lucas saw that Peyton was deep in thought. "Peyton is something wrong?" Peyton started to laugh, "for once in my life everything is going along great, I have a great set of friends, doing well in college, and love my boyfriend" Lucas was glad that Peyton was happy. Peyton and Lucas finished lunch and decided to head back to Lucas's room. Peyton knew that he needed to get his rest. As they reached his room Peyton turned to leave. Lucas was wondering what was going on. "Why are you leaving? Are you sure nothing is wrong?" Peyton just looked at Lucas. "Babe there is nothing wrong at all, I figured that since you were so tired you would want some sleep, I was just going to head back to my room and get some work done while you slept and then we could do something later tonight". Lucas looked at her and started to push her into his room, half laughing, half tickling her. "You know I sleep better when you are with me. I am sure you could find something to do". Peyton knew that she was not getting out of this so she decided just to give in and fell back onto the bed. "You know you want me here just so you can get whatever you want from me." She said this giving him her little smile. "Yes cause that is all you are here for, just so that I can have my way with you" Lucas gave Peyton the famous Scott puppy dog eyes. Lucas started to get ready for bed and once in just his boxers he laid down. Although he was tired before the entire week was coming back to him and he was become exhausted. Peyton and him snuggled in and shortly soon after they were both fast asleep dreaming pleasant thoughts of where their lives would take them.
Although Nathan and Lucas were tired Jake was use to not getting as much sleep as the two Scott brothers. He was use to waking up in the middle of the night with Jenny, taking care of her, feeding her, and comforting her if she was crying. Jake decided to head to Starbucks after practice. Hoping that if he got some caffeine in him he could stay up a lot later and get some work done before going out tonight. He had promised Brooke an actual date, besides just watching Jenny. He arranged for Peyton and Lucas to watch her tonight. He knew both of them loved babysitting. Jake had planned to take Brooke to a fancy restaurant in town. He knew that she loved Sushi so he decided to take her to a Sushi restaurant. Their reservations were at 7, what meant he had 7 hours to get everything done as well as calm his nerves for the date. As he was waiting in the never-ending line at Starbucks he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Brooke standing behind him. "What are you doing here stranger?" Just seeing Brooke put a smile on his exhausted face. "I needed my Starbucks fix of the day before I could do anything" Jake did not doubt this. He knew that Brooke loved her Starbucks. After they had ordered their drinks they both sat down and waited. As they were sitting Brooke was not sure where to begin. She was extremely happy that they had a date tonight. Brooke never thought of Jake as someone she could date. She loved the bad boys, but thinking about her life with Jake made her calm. Jake decided to start the conversation. "So excited for tonight?" Brooke was super excited. "Yeah I am, Are you sure everything is taken care of with Jenny. I don't mind taking her with us." Jake started to laugh. "What am I that funny". Brooke had no idea what was so funny. "Brooke, as much as I love my daughter I do like a moment alone with people. Peyton and Lucas are going to be taking care of Jenny, you know that they love her, and I am super excited to spend some time alone with you." Brooke was glad that Jake was so excited. Brooke decided that it was going to be a good night. When their drinks finally were made Brooke bid Jake farewell, Although their date was not for a long time Brooke needed to get ready for the date. She would be digging through her closet for the perfect outfit. When Brooke arrived back at the dorms she was glad to find that Peyton and Haley were gone, that meant she could make the place messy and play her own music loudly while trying to get ready. She had a feeling that they would not be coming back tonight. Brooke began to think, maybe Peyton and Lucas could keep Jenny over night? Brooke knew that it wouldn't happen. She wanted to take things slowly with Jake. Jake had rushed into things with Nikki and got himself in trouble as well as a broken heart.
While Brooke was trying to find a perfect outfit to wear for the date tonight Lucas and Peyton were just waking up from their nap. Lucas loved waking up next to Peyton, watching her sleep. This time he didn't get the option, when he woke up she was already wake, reading, but also watching him sleep. She started laughing when he turned over to face her. "What's so funny?" Peyton kept laughing. "Do you know that you talk in your sleep?" Lucas was suddenly afraid and also embarresed at what he had said. "No I didn't know that, did I give away some deep dark secret?" Peyton kept laughing. "Now you are making me really scared, please tell me what I said." Again giving her the puppy dog eyes she could not resist. "Fine, you were talking about us being back in Tree Hill, except the one thing I could not understand was if it was currently or if you were talking about the future." Lucas knew that answer to that question but was not going to give her that insight. He had been dreaming about the future, hoping that one day he could get down on one knee and propose to Peyton. "I have no idea when it was. I didn't even know I talked in my sleep." Peyton started laughing again. "Did I say something else that was funny?" "Nope, you are just such a great guy, I am so glad that I found you." With that Peyton snuggled closer into Lucas and deeper under the covers. Lucas wished that they could stay like this all night long, but he knew they had to watch Jenny. They decided to stay at home and have a date night. They were going to rent some movies, make dinner, watch Jenny, and just enjoy being together. Lucas knew that Nathan and Haley were going to be gone so they would have the entire suite to themselves. Lucas just realized something, he had no idea where Nathan and Haley were. "Peyton have you seen Nate or Hales at all today?" Peyton then realized that she had seen neither of them since leaving during in the morning. "Nope not since this morning. Maybe we should go find them." Lucas decided the best place to start was in Nathan's room. As he opened the door he found that Haley was sitting in bed with her textbooks and highlighter reading and taking notes for some class while Nathan was completely passed out on the bed. "Well it looks as if someone needed their sleep." Lucas started laughing. "Don't tell me you haven't been sleeping the past couple hours" Lucas was not sure what to say. "You know you have been sleeping." Lucas was always amazed of how Haley always knew stuff going on in his life. "Your wrong I haven't been sleeping". Lucas stop lying. " How do you know I am not telling you the truth?" Haley started laughing. "There are a few ways to tell. For once you always have this cute smile when you are lying, also you can never look at me when you are lying to me about something, and third I went into your room and saw Peyton and you sleep". Lucas started laughing and it woke up Nathan.
When first waking up Nathan was a little confused as to why Lucas was in his room. Not that they hadnt been in each others rooms, but it was usually to borrow something. "Im glad you are up sleepy head" Haley gave Nathan a small kiss on the forehead. "How long was I out for?" Nathan turned over to look at the clock. "You slept for about 4 hours, but you needed it. Don't worry Lucas slept for almost the same amount of time as well." Nathan got up and walked to the bathroom to pee. Lucas headed back to his room. He walked back into his room and found Peyton reading. "Are you doing homework on a Friday afternoon?" "Nope, wouldn't even think about it. I am doing this strange thing called reading for fun. You use to do it". Lucas knew Peyton was right and he missed it. He use to read all the time just for fun, books most students hated to read. "Well it is kinda hard to find time to read when going to class, doing homework, going to practices daily, oh yeah and wait dealing with my girlfriend" Lucas was laughing at the end of that statement. "You really think I take up a lot of your time. You are going to see what that actually means." Lucas had no idea what that threat was about, but he was sure sometime he would find out when he least expected it. "Well I figured since it is about 6 now, Jake should be getting back soon, and we will be taking over Jenny." Peyton was extremely excited about babysitting for Jenny and also having a date night with Lucas. Although Peyton loved going out she was the type of girl that loved staying in and just relaxing.
