Hey Guys
Next week starts new episodes…yay! And from the looks of them we are in for a treat. I am so sorry that it has been two days since the last chapter, I had finals but now they are over and I am done with college, so like I said until I find a position you have my attention.
MARIALAFFERTY: I do to; I can't believe how far it's come in just a short amount of time.
LuvAngel448: thanks.
jeytonlover: Review when you can and just check in every once in a while.
DanaJaycee: That is my favorite commentary. Did you enjoy that grassy place today?
Brucas03: I used to get singles and change in mine, but I figure that was good for the 'big kids'…lol.
PaulineJ: I do too.
Love,
Emily

It was now early Monday morning and everyone was preparing to go home for the rest of the semester, this set of good byes were supposed to be easier since they all would be seeing each other in just a few short months for the wedding and then they wouldn't have to leave each other until the next September. Other things that had happened during the trip was the dress shopping in which they didn't find any thing they liked for bridesmaid's dresses so it was decided that Brooke would design the dresses with Karen and the girls, so that's what she did, in the times she didn't spend with Lucas and the other members of their family she was sketching the designs. She also took everyone's measurements so she could make them and do the final alterations when they got back to Tree Hill.
"I am so not ready to go back to school, I wish it was June already." Said Brooke as she zipped up her suitcase.
"Me, too but we have to. And it will be June soon enough then we have the wedding and then Mom and Keith are off on their honeymoon, and we have the house all to ourselves." Said Lucas as he wrapped his arms around Brooke's waist from behind.
"Well incase you haven't noticed we're alone right now." Said Brooke.
"Not for long we're getting picked-up in about twenty minutes." Said Lucas.
"There's a lot we could do in twenty minutes, you know." Said Brooke.
"As much as I would love to do that with you, right now. The thought that my brother and sister-in-law might decide to come a little early and would ultimately walk in on us doesn't really do much for the mood right now, but I promise as soon as we get back to the dorm you and me will do whatever you want." Said Lucas.
"You absolutely promise?"
"Completely." Said Lucas.
"You're on and I agree with you Nate and Hales possibly walking in does kill the mood a little." Said Brooke.
"A little how about totally kills the mood." Said Lucas with a laugh.
"Okay, I'll give you that one." Said Brooke as she leaned up and kissed Lucas.
"Okay, Bro step away from the girl and keep your hands where I can see them."
"What did I tell you, and second of all she kissed me." Said Lucas as Nathan and Haley walked into the room.
"You guys almost ready to go, we still have to pick Jake, Peyton, and Jenny up?" Asked Haley.
"Yes, we are done. You guys are mood killers you know that?" Said Brooke jokingly.
"Oh and like you guys aren't." Said Haley.
"We just need to learn how to give proper warning." Said Brooke.
"Especially when we all get back here in June."
"Defiantly should we use the scrunchies or just call first." Said Brooke joking around.
"Probably just call, I don't think the neighbors will appreciate the scrunchies as much as college students." Said Haley.
"Yeah, that's one thing we lucked out on no roommates to have to get rid of." Said Brooke.
"That is true." Said Haley.
They left the house and loaded into the SUV and headed off to Bruce and Lorna's house to say good-bye to the family before they all headed to the airport.
"Hey Guys." Said Lorna as she answered the door
"Hi Lorna." Said the small group.
"Jake and Peyton will be right back, they went to change Jenny." Said Lorna.
"It takes two of them to change her?" Asked Nathan.
"She's two and fast." Said Lorna.
"Jenny baby come back here." Said Peyton as Jenny tore through the group with no pants or diaper on.
"And where do you think you're going munchkin?" Said Lucas as he caught Jenny.
"Unwle Luke! Mama need go." Said Jenny as she tried to get out of Lucas grasp.
"You need to finish getting ready munchkin, so we can go to the airport soon." Said Lucas.
"Jake, Luke caught her, I swear she gets faster every time." Said Peyton as she picked Jenny up out of Lucas' arms.
"Mama, I no need diappy." Said Jenny.
"Yes, you do sweetheart, come on then you can come play with your Aunts and Uncles while Daddy and I put everything in the car." Said Peyton.
"Nice catch, Luke." Said Brooke.
"Thank you it wasn't that hard." Said Lucas. "I caught you."
"I would strongly disagree with that, I believe I caught you. After all who stripped in the back of Karen's Volvo?"
"Okay, no more memory lane please." Said Haley.
"Sorry." Said Brooke as she smiled at Lucas.
"Later." Said Lucas.
Finally Jenny was dressed and the group said good-bye to their family and took off for the airport.
"Well this will be the last good-byes until we all leave again in September." Said Nathan.
"I know just think we're almost done with our freshman year of college, it doesn't feel like it's been that long does it?" Said Haley.
"No it doesn't." Brooke.
"I guess I just wish you all lived closer, that's all." Said Haley.
"I wish we all could to." Said Lucas trying to comfort Haley as they walked away from the group towards Brooke and Lucas' gate.
"So why don't you transfer to schools around here." Said Haley.
"Hales you know that we can't." Said Lucas.
"Why, what is actually holding you guys in Boston?" Asked Haley.
"Besides our scholarships and school." Said Lucas.
"Yes, not bring up the obvious Lucas, but wasn't the main reason you went up there was to play ball?"
"Haley…" Said Lucas not wanting her to bring up that subject.
"No, Lucas I'm not going to stop. You guys have the grades to go anywhere come home where you know you both belong." Said Haley.
"Haley, it's not that simple."
"Why, huh tell me why it's not that simple, Lucas." Said Haley.
"Because Haley, we like it there. I'll tell you the same thing I told Brooke after we graduate we are moving back just not yet." Said Lucas.
"I'm sorry I just miss you being down the street I guess." Said Haley.
"I miss you guys too, but we all knew this was going to be hard when we picked colleges." Said Lucas.
"Just think about it and talk it over with Brooke please, promise me that." Said Haley.
"I'll think about it and I will talk it over with Brooke but I'm telling you Haley don't get your hopes up okay." Said Lucas.
"I guess that's all I can ask you to do." Said Haley.
"Attention all Passengers we are now boarding Flight 191 to Boston all passengers with ticket for seats 1-30 please make your way to the counter thank you." Said the announcement.
"Broody that's us." Said Brooke as she finished hugging their family.
"Let's go." Said Lucas as he finished hugging everyone too.
Brooke and Lucas left the group and boarded their plane to go back to Boston and finish the year out.
"So what was the conversation with Haley about?" Asked Brooke when Lucas sat down.
"Just how much she misses us and how she wished we would move back for good after this year." Said Lucas.
"What did you tell her?"
"I told her we couldn't because we have scholarships and then she asked what was really holding us there and then she used the fact that I'm not playing anymore as a reason to come home." Said Lucas.
"Okay, well what do you think? I mean I'm not saying we should just leave Boston but is there really anything that is holding us there besides school. Because Lucas I will go anywhere as long as I'm with you." Said Brooke.
"I don't know I mean sure I would like to see my brother for more than a week at a time at the holidays, but could you really just give up Boston like that, I know you already left New York, but I can't ask that of you again." Said Lucas.
"Lucas, you didn't ask me to leave New York I made that decision because I missed you and wanted to be with you in the same state, and we already said we were going back after we graduated why don't we just think about it we'll talk it over for longer than the 10 minutes we have and decide what to do." Said Brooke.
"Okay, but just answer me this would you, I mean would you want to move back home?" Asked Lucas.
"I told you I will go wherever you go."
"So what was the heated discussion with Lucas about?" Asked Peyton.
"I just told him that I wish he and Brooke lived closer and asked him what was holding them there." Said Haley.
"And what was his answer?"
"School, their scholarships and then he said something about him and Brooke deciding to move back after they graduate." Said Haley.
"Well you can't force them to do anything you know that I mean besides Nathan, Brooke and Lucas are two of the most stubborn people I know." Said Peyton.
"I know they are I just hate having to say good-bye to you guys like this." Said Haley.
"I do too, but just think we won't have to for 3 months." Said Jake as he hugged Haley.
"I know." Said Haley
"So we'll see you guys when?" Asked Nathan.
"The week before Memorial Day and then you won't be able to get rid of us for a while." Said Jake.
"Cool well we'll see you then. And you munchkin be good for Mommy and Daddy okay." Said Nathan.
"Otay, Unwle Nate." Said Jenny.
"Attention all Passengers we are now boarding Flight 789 to Seattle all passengers with ticket for seats 1-30 please make your way to the counter thank you." Said the announcement.
"We'll call you tonight after we get in, and don't worry about Brooke and Lucas they'll come around eventually whether it takes them three days or three years they will be home." Said Peyton.
"I know." Said Haley.
