Chapter 3

"What, I'm confused they want us to take care of Jenny?"

"I thought they would pick Peyton."

"In Jake's will he said that he wanted us to take care of Jenny? Well I need an answer."

"Yeah we'll take care of her anything for a friend."

"Ummmm……..Tiffany……we'll take care of Jenny when can we come get her?"

"Well the viewing is tomorrow and the funeral is in Tree Hill Sunday. So Jenny will be there and we'll bring her things."

They stayed outside and tried to think of what to tell the others about what just happened and how they'll end up with Jenny. They decided just to tell them all at once. So they went back inside and strait to the stage.

"Everyone can we have your attention. Ummmm…….." just as Haley started to say she trailed of and started to cry hysterically. Luke, Peyton and Brooke just stood there staring at each other in fear that something was wrong with Haley's pregnancy. Nathan took over, "Ummmm……..I don't know how to tell you all this but Haley just got a phone call and it was from a lawyer. Ummmm……….Jake's lawyer………..she told us that Jake and his parents got into a wreck." When Nathan said that Peyton could feel that something was horribly wrong and she started to cry too. She knew this wouldn't be good news. "Ummmm……….Jake and his parents didn't make it!" Nathan paused for a moment in memory of his former friend Jake. When Nathan said that Peyton fainted, Luke was right there to catch her. "Ummmm………the viewing is tomorrow and the funeral in here in Tree Hill Sunday." Peyton woke up hoping this was all a dream, but it wasn't it was a nightmare, a nightmare that was coming true. No one could believe what Nathan had just said they just stood there in total amazement. Peyton and Haley were in the corner holding each other as they bawled there eyes out. Every one of them were really good friends with him and none of them could believe he was taken away like that.

"OH MY GOSH Haley what about Jenny, Nikki can't have her." Peyton said with fear in her eyes.

"Peyton I'm sure she's fine and that Nikki won't get her." Haley said trying to comfort her.

"Haley can I talk to you." Nathan said motioning her to come over to him.

"Ummmm…..yeah sure, what is it?" Haley said trying to be brave about this whole situation.

"Haley, why didn't you tell Peyton that we are getting custody of Jenny and we'll be taking care of her?"

"I don't know she can't handle that right now, she just found out that the man she loved died and I couldn't tell her that her best friends will be taking care of the child she loves. I just can't do that to her right now."

"Well you're going to have to do it before Sunday. Peyton needs to know."

"Peyton needs to know what?"

"Ummmm………Peyton ummmm………..okay you have to find out sometime." "Peyton this is going to be a huge shock to u like it was to us. Peyton in Jake's will he left Jenny to us. I guess he made it clear to the lawyers that he wants us to take care of her."

"Oh……….." you could tell when Peyton said that, that she was hurt that he didn't pick her to take care of her. All Peyton was thinking was "Why not me, I thought he loved me and I thought he knew how much I loved Jenny too."

"Peyton I'm sorry, I hope you're not mad at us because we had nothing to do with the decision except for saying we would take care of Jenny.

"No I'm not I just wonder why he didn't choose me; I'm not saying you can't do it I'm just saying why he didn't pick me."

"Peyton we said the same thing to the lawyer we asked her are you sure he didn't mean Peyton Sawyer."

"Its okay guys at least I'll be able to see Jenny. But wait, what about Nikki I mean why doesn't she have Jenny."

"I guess since Jake isn't here to bug, she doesn't want Jenny anymore." The next morning when Nathan woke up and he couldn't find Haley. He walked around the house and still couldn't find her. Nathan began to get worried, when he realized where she had gone. He went to the last place he could think of the balcony. They spent some really good moments on that balcony and stepping on to it reminded him of all those times they shared together. He heard the sound of her guitar playing in the background and wondered what song she was singing.
