Hey Guys

So we hit over 300 reviews, yay! Like I said party's on me guys. Can you believe we came this far this fast, because I can't. And it's all because of you guys. Thank you so much for the wonderful reviews that you give me everyday.

LuvAngel448: I had a good weekend and am happy to be at work where I wrote the majority of this chapter during my down time…lol.

deli41321: I know I can too, and that scares me a little. Nate is majoring in sports medicine and Haley is majoring in education to be a teacher.

BrucasFan4Ever: Thank you. Keep coming back for more.

Love,

Emily

The morning after registration Brooke and Lucas woke up to the sound of the ringing telephone.

"Luke, what time is it?" Asked Brooke.

"6am." Said Lucas as he reached for it.

"Nooo." Whined Brooke.

"Hello?"

"Hi Honey." Said Karen.

"Morning Mom." Said Lucas.

"Did I wake you up?"

"Yeah, but that's okay I have to go to work in a little while anyways." Said Lucas as he rubbed his eyes.

"What time is it there?" Asked Karen.

"About 6." Said Lucas. "So where are you guys this week?"

"Switzerland and then in two weeks we'll be home." Said Karen.

"Cool if you can just email me your flight information and we'll pick you guys up at the airport." Said Lucas.

"I will so where's Brooke?" Asked Karen.

"Sleeping." Said Lucas.

"Okay well when she wakes up tell her we said hi and Keith wants to talk to you." Said Karen.

"I will love you Mom."

"Love you too, here's Keith." Said Karen as she handed the phone to him.

"Hey Luke." Said Keith.

"Hey what's going on?" Asked Lucas.

"Not much right now, how's everything there?" Said Keith.

"Good, the businesses are going fine. Brooke, Peyton, Jake, and I went to the college and registered for classes yesterday, and while we were there we ran into Tim who was also registering." Said Lucas.

"That's good, what about Nate and Hales?" Asked Keith.

"They are going back to Chapel Hill, but Hales registered them yesterday also."

"Good, so when is your next appointment?" Asked Keith knowing he was due for one soon.

"It's not until after you guys come back. Brooke wrote it down on the calendar in the kitchen." Said Lucas.

"Okay, well I'll let you go back to sleep and tell Brooke that we love her and miss her and we'll call again before we come back." Said Keith.

"I will, be safe in Switzerland and we'll see you at the airport in a couple weeks."

"Okay bye."

"Bye." Said Lucas as he hung up the phone and went back to sleep for another hour.

About an hour later the alarm went off and Brooke woke up. She noticed that Lucas was sound asleep still. So it was up to her to get him up.

"Hey Broody, it's time to get up." Said Brooke as she kissed him.

"Morning." Said Lucas as he kissed her back.

"Who called earlier?"

"Mom and Keith, they said hi and they missed you, they're on their way to Switzerland and will be home in a couple weeks." Said Lucas.

"That'll be nice, I can't wait to see the pictures that they took." Said Brooke.

"I know and then I told them that the businesses were doing fine and that we were all registered at the college." Said Lucas.

"Well we should actually get out of bed since we have to go to work soon." Said Brooke.

"I agree, you go start getting ready, I'll go find something for breakfast unless you just want to get something at the café." Said Lucas.

"Why don't we do that." Said Brooke.

"Okay you go get ready first." Said Lucas.

"What are you going to do?" Asked Brooke.

"Check my email and return it if I have to." Said Lucas as he turned the computer on.

"Okay I'll check mine when I'm done." Said Brooke.

After the computer booted up Lucas logged on to his email account and saw that he had 7 messages. He had one from his friend Mike in Boston, one from Haley, and then he noticed that he had one from Nathan and one from his mother. The rest were junk mail. He decided to read Mike's first since he had an idea what the others were about.

Luke-

What's going on, feel lucky you're in Tree Hill with Brooke and not here where I am. The coaches called us back early for a 2-week camp. It's hell! Like I said feel lucky. When do you start classes? Tell Brooke that I said hi and that Boston isn't the same with out you guys. Talk soon!

Mike

Lucas opened a new message window and responded to Mike's email.

Subject: Very happy not to be you!

Mike-

I am defiantly happy I'm not you right now. I'm waiting for Brooke to finish getting ready so I can take a shower and go to work at the garage. Classes start on 9-3 for us. Mom and Keith come home a couple days before that so it'll be good. I'll tell Brooke you said hi. One thing I won't miss about Boston is winter…lol. Talk soon!

Luke

Lucas sent the message off and opened the one from his mother that had her and Keith's flight information for when they arrive home. He printed the email and decided to give it to Brooke to hold on to. He then opened the one from Nathan, which was a forward from one of his teammates.

Luke-

A mother passing by her son's bedroom was astonished to see the
bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope
propped up prominently on the center of the bed.

It was addressed, "Mom." With the worst premonition, she opened the
envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:

Dear Mom,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope
with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and
you. I've been finding real passion with Michelle and she is so nice - even with
all her piercings, tattoos, and her motorcycle clothes.

But it's not only passion mom, she's pregnant and Michelle said that we will
be very happy. She already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of
firewood for the whole winter.

She wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my
dreams too. Michelle taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone
and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the
cocaine and ecstasy we want.

In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so
Michelle can get better; she sure deserves it! Don't worry Mom, I'm 15 years old
now and I know how to take care of myself. Some day I'm sure we'll be back
to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your son,
Dylan

PS: Mom, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house.
I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my
report card that's in my desk drawer.

I love you!

Call me when it is safe for me to come home.

Can you imagine our moms faces if they found that from us.

Nate.

Nate-

No kidding I would be so dead… I thought she was going to kill me when she found my tattoo, thank goodness for that coma huh.

Luke

Brooke came out of the shower and back into the room and finished getting ready while Lucas jumped in the shower. While she was finishing she signed on to the computer, and then Peyton IM'd her.

P.Sawyer: Hey Hoe.

Cheery3: Hey what are you doing up this early?

P. Sawyer: Jenny woke me up, you?"

Cheery3: I have 2 go 2 work today.

P.Sawyer: cool I'll see you later.

Cheery3: later.

She checked her email and saw that she had all junk mail so she signed off and got her things together before Lucas came back in the room.
