Welcome to One Tree Hill
Peyton Sawyer has passed this sign a million times over but never has it caused her stomach to do flip flops. After leaving Tree Hill 5 years ago with no intention of coming back it really felt weird coming back after the shooting she couldn't take the depression and the sadness. The town was mourning the death or Keith and Jimmy and Peyton just felt useless. She couldn't take the constant ache in the pit of her stomach so she decided to get a fresh start. New York was a great place for artists and her new she would get far there. After getting a manager and now fiancée her career took off. Art shows ever nigh. Her name in newspapers and her face in magazines. She couldn't believe how her life has taken off after she left the small town of Tree Hill. Now coming back for the renewal of Haley and Nathan's wedding vows she was forced to come back to her once small life.
Felix was next to Peyton snoring away and every couple of minutes she could hear him moan her name. She would have to tease him about that later she thought. Finally she arrived at the Scotts Mansion. After Dan left and Deb committed suicide Nathan decided to live in the mansion and try to create some happy memories for him and Haley. The house was huge and even when Peyton was dating Nathan she couldn't believe how big this house really was.
"Felix, wake up were here."
"Huh, what, o right five more minutes mom"
"FELIX!" Peyton yelled while hitting him in the chest.
"Hey! What was that for?" Felix answered angrily.
"I said we are here now wiping off the drool off your face, fix your hair and let's go. I want you to make a good impression."
"Hey I do not drool."
"Dribble Dribble." Peyton said playfully.
"I'm going to get you later."
"Whatever you say Hun."
Peyton got out of the car and was heading towards the door when she noticed that Felix was still in it.
"Omg, will you hurry up."
"Hey you said I need to look perfect so that is what I'm doing."
Peyton laughed. "God I swear you take longer to get ready than I do."
"Why thank you." Felix laughed
after Felix fixed himself up Peyton and Felix went up to the front door but before Peyton could ring the doorbell Haley opened the door and was hugging Peyton.
"Okay Hales cutting off circulation to the brain." Peyton said
"What o right sorry." Haley said smiling. "I have really missed you.
"So how's New York."
"O you know I don't want to brag but GLAMOUROUS."
"Wow I'm jealous."
"Don't be Haley you have living the all American dream and Nathan is hot.
"Excuse me Fiancée standing right here.
"So this must be Felix. You never told me he was such a fox.
Peyton blushed. "Haley."
"You're right I'm sorry. It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you." Felix said as he gave Haley a small hug.
Haley realized that they were still standing in the doorway and she was about to let them in when Nathan came to the door."
"Haley I need to talk to you."
"Oh, gee Nathan nice to see you to." Peyton said sarcastically
Nathan looked over at his best friend and pulled her into a hug.
"I'm sorry Peyton." Nathan then gives her a long hug. "I've really missed you girl." Nathan released Peyton as she introduced him to Felix.
"How's it going man."?
"I'm good and in love."
"Yea I know what you mean." Nathan said while looking at Haley. Okay well can we move this little reunion to the back?
"Yea, okay let's cut through the house." Haley said
"NO! I mean… no let's go around."
"Nathan what is wrong with you they are our guests. Why are you acting so jumpy."?
"Haley has here."
"What the hell is he doing here? I told him not to come around today."
"Like he ever listens to you."
Haley sighed. "This is not happening."
"Okay guys can you please tell me what's going on." Peyton said with concern
"It's nothing! Nathan's right lets go through the back
Peyton looked confused... Guys come on what's going on."
"Shit"
"What was that." Peyton asked
"O god." Haley replied a little worrying." Haley excused herself and ran to the kitchen
"Peyton, Felix and Nathan all ran behind Haley into the kitchen only to see a glass cup broken to pieces all over the floor."
What Peyton saw made her breath become short.
"God haven't you guys ever thought about putting the glasses down lower. I mean god it's a lot easier to reach that way."
The man turned from the mess and saw the Peyton. The girl that broke his heart.
"Well Well Well the bitch is back."
Peyton stood there shocked to see her former lover standing right in front of her. Lucas Scott."
Lucas Scott was wearing a black t-shirt tight enough so you can see the muscles that he developed over the years. With that he wore a pair of faded jeans and you could tell that he hasn't showered in awhile because he look all ruffed up and he hasn't shaved in weeks.
"Well aren't you going too come and give me a hug." Lucas asked
"Come on Lucas leave Peyton alone." Haley replied
"Oh, come one Hales I just want a hug from her. I mean she leaves and I haven't seen her in what 5 years. I think a hug would be in order.
"It's okay Haley." Peyton said "I'm not afraid of him."
"Yea, well maybe you should be...Lucas why don't you go into Nathan's room and sleep it off." Haley said
"Not until Blondie here comes and gives me a hug.
Peyton looked over Lucas. His hair was messed up and she noticed that he couldn't stop staring at her. Right into her eyes…right down into her soul. Peyton walked up to Lucas and slowly put her arms around his shoulders while he put his arms around her waist. Peyton could hear Lucas sigh a little like he was holding his breath. It felt different being in his arms again. His touch wasn't gentle and welcoming like it used to but more cold and rough.
After Peyton let go of Lucas he kept on staring at her on and wouldn't let up. Peyton went back to stand next to Felix as he put his arms around her almost like he has to protect her.
"So this must be the boyfriend." Lucas said a little slurred
"Actually no...Felix and I are engaged" Peyton said
"Engaged HA! Well I feel sorry for you man I just hope you know what you're getting yourself into."
"Lucas." Nathan said warningly
"WHAT! I think Felix here should know what kind of person he is marring."
Lucas went right up to Felix and put his arm around him. He had a beer bottle in his hand and when he talked you could smell the alcohol on his breath.
"You see Felix I bet I know everything on how you met and fell in love. Really I bet you any money that you met her through her piece of shit of what she calls art. You most likely promised her to make her famous and encouraged her show her stuff. You fell in love. She was hesitating at first because of all the fucking drama in her pathetic life but she finally let herself go and now here you are. Well let me tell you 5 years from now you're going find a note on the door saying she can't handle this and leave. Because Peyton is a motherfucking...
But before Lucas could say anything more he was on the ground with a nice black eye forming. Felix had punched him. Peyton looked shocked but all Nathan and Haley could say is he had it coming.
"Come on man you need to sleep this off." Nathan said helping Lucas up.
Lucas pulled his arm from Nathan's grasp. '"Don't bother I'm going over to Brooke's house."
"Yea we did but her and I have an understanding if you know what I mean." Lucas said this looking right at Peyton and smiling that Scott smile.
"Yea whatever just doesn't come back till you sober up." Haley said disgusted
Lucas looked at Haley. "Oh, come on Hales don't be like that."
He saw how Haley was disgusted and stormed out the door out the door.
After Lucas left Haley and Nathan apologized to Peyton who now had tears in her eyes
"Don't let Lucas get to you. Has just upset." Nathan said as he pulled her into a hug
"How long has he been like that." Peyton asked concerned
"Um, well actually right around you left."
Peyton felt like someone punched her in the gut. Was he like that because of me? It had been a long morning and all she wanted to do was sleep.
Okay well now all that drama is over lets go over to the living room.
They all laughed and agreed but all Peyton knew was that she had to talk to Lucas again. She wanted answers.
He wants to act like a drunk has going to go through her first.
