What's Mine

A/N First off, wow! You guys are wonderful! And yes to those of you who are confused, Sadie is Brooke's child. And you'll see more about Toby later... Sorry it took me so long to put this out and I hope you like it and review!

Chapter 4

It seemed like forever before Brooke looked away from Lucas. She looked back to Peyton. "I gotta go." She said still in shock then left.

Peyton watched Brooke go then looked at Luke then to Haley who'd come up behind him. "I'll call you later." She told Haley then followed Brooke.

Luke kind of just stared at where Brooke had been until Haley pulled him back inside and shut the door.

Brooke got into the drivers' seat of the car she and Peyton had come in and stared at the steering wheel. She didn't notice that any tears had come out of her eyes until she felt them hit her arm. She wiped at her eyes, she wasn't going to cry over him. She'd done plenty of that before.

Why was he here? She didn't even like the fact that he was in town! Anybody could slip about Sadie then he'd come crawling to her for answers that she didn't want to answer.

All she wanted was to have Sadie and forget about Lucas. But no, now he was back and she was sure he'd find out one way or another, but maybe if he left soon enough, nobody would tell him and Sadie would still be with her parents. She could only hope that would happen.

"Brooke!" She heard and looked out over to Peyton who was coming towards her.

She sighed and rolled her eyes, put a fake smile on and shut the car door. Peyton got in on the other side.

"Are you ok?" She asked clearly worried.

"I'm fine." Brooke lied turning the car on and started heading home. Peyton didn't believe her but she figured she'd hear all about it later so she kept her mouth shut at the moment.

"Brooke... what was she doing here?" Lucas asked sitting back on the couch with a dazed look on his face.

Haley sat across from him. "She and Peyton were here for dinner." She decided she might as well tell the truth. Even though Luke didn't know she was still friends with the two.

"Oh." Was all Lucas could say, he was lost in thought about how great Brooke looked and was wondering why he still felt like this after all this time.

"Look Luke, don't try to find her or anything ok? If she wants to talk let her come to you. She's not exactly had a perfect life since you left." Haley said getting to the point.

Luke looked at her and smiled. "Fine." He said crossing his fingers behind his back. He really wanted to know what Hales had meant by that though, although Brooke had never really had the perfect life anyway.
