Previously on Déjà vu (One Tree Hill)
"Brooke!" Peyton greeted, surprised "Look I.. I.. That thing that happened between me and Lucas, it was a mistake"
"Mistake?" she scoffed "It's not a mistake Peyton. If it happened once, it could be a mistake but twice? No, I don't think so" she was very serious
"Brooke, what really happened was--"
"Look, Peyton," she interrupted "I didn't come here to make peace or anything. We still aren't friends"
"But-"
"I came here to tell you that I'm leaving"
"I never told you that-"
"That what?" Somehow, she sensed this was not good news
"that I turned out positive for--"
"For what Luc?"
"HCM"
"Luc! Don't say that! You won't die!" Those three words made her cringe "You can't die"
"I need to talk to her before I go. I have to find her"
"Why don't you just stay here, at Tree Hill. Spend the-uhh rest of your-err days-- you know"
"My feelings for her haven't changed a bit. Before I do go, I want her to know that"
"Luc! You know how Brooke is! I recommend that you stay here. Your heart's broken already. I don't want it to be completely ruined by Brooke"
"I ruined her heart Peyton"
"We ruined her heart"
"She's Brooke Davis turned into Shandy Scott! Hollywood Luc! She's a movie star!"
He was left speechless. Shandy Scott is Brooke Davis. Her eyes, her lips. She is Brooke
"A movie star who has your surname"
"When mom leaves for New Zealand, I'll probably leave for California too"
"New Zealand? Karen's going to New Zealand again?"
"Yeah. Don't you know?"
She shook her head.
"Well, Andy established a restaurant in New Zealand where my mom and he are partners. You know, 50, 50 in profit. And all she's gotta do is share her kitchen skills"
"California!" she asked, flabbergasted
He nodded.
"Why? What's in California? That's like in the other side of the country"
"Uhm, I have to visit my friend mom" he paused, thinking of a plausible and believable reason "My friend's dying mom"
"Quit mentioning the word last Lucas!" she glared at him "I still haven't gotten over the fact that you're dying, you know!"
"I thought you were over that Peyton"
"No, Lucas. I won't ever be over that. Death is such a big word you know, especially when it's associated with one of my best friends"
"Come here" He said, very much comforting. He placed his arms around her, making her feel secure
"I just-- I just want you to attend my wedding Luc. I wanna see you there. I wanna share that moment in your presence" she said, in tears
"If it means so much to you, then I'll be happy to attend"
Lucas was sitting down on his chair, buckling his seat belt. It was now time for take off, he noticed because the PLEASE BUCKLE YOU SEAT BELTS sign was alit. In just a while he'll be in California and soon, he'll see Brooke or Shandy, for that matter.
"Uhm.. You doing something after this?"
"Photo shoot with Orlando" she said, her lips wry. "But after that, I'm free"
"Mind if I invite you to go out? he asked casually "You know, music, dancing, shizz like that. I know this great place"
Peyton was sorting through her records when she got hold of her Fall Out Boy record. Pete she thought. She still hasn't forgotten him.
Chapter Three: The World is Small
Peyton walked along the narrow aisle which was covered in red and black roses. The black roses were dyed by Peyton herself. Such an artistic girl, she is. Jake awaited for her soon to be wife near the altar. He could not believe that the moment has come to happen, the moment where they would share their life, together, forever. Finally he thought. She was like a princess who glided through the air. She was happily smiling, like she wasn't thinking of anything, like she was only thinking of him and her. Their future together. Their future together with Jenny. Finally, a complete family. As she neared him, he was close to trembling. It was fast, the moment. He didn't even remember the pastor's words of wisdom of some sort. All he remembered was their exchange of vows, their exchange of rings and of course, their first kiss as an official couple. Their first kiss as husband and wife. Jake smiled as he reminisced about those thoughts. Happy thoughts of his and Peyton's wedding where his close friends and relatives attended a day ago.
Jake arrived Tree Hill from his hide-and-seek situation with Jenny when her daughter's obstinate mother finally fled the country and ignored them forever. He was glad to share this news with Peyton and eventually, since love has sprung between them before, it ignited again, like a firecracker, ready to explode.
Hailey was recording her so-called duet album with the famous yet infamous Chris Keller.
"You know what Hales, you better loosen up okay" he said, seductively, caressing her creamy soft skin "You're too tight"
"Will you quit being such a pervert Chris!"
"What? I didn't do anything"
"Right" sarcastic "I thought this'll be all about the music, Chris. We had an agreement"
"It is all about the music, Hales. All about the music" It was seemingly sincere but deceptive in intentions. He still wanted a piece of Hailey James despite the big Nathan problem in the way.
Brooke's/ Shandy's interview with Jay Leno today would be her first time and naturally, she was anxious. Anxious because she knew she was a blabber and she might spurt out rather weird answers. Plus, she's only 18 and Jay Leno's like 70? 80?
"I have here with me the very young and beautiful Shandy Scott" he introduced as the camera swung towards her
"Thank you Jay" she smiled, sweetly
"If I'm not mistaken, 18 right?"
"Yes, I actually just celebrated it last month"
"Whoa! Orlando's one lucky guy" he teased "First Keira who's obviously too young for her when they shot Pirates of the Caribbean and now you, who's still very much young for him"
She laughed.
"Orlando and I are really great friends. He's very friendly, honestly"
"That's what they all say" he teased once again "First they kiss on screen and then next they say they're friends and then they kiss in real life"
"No, honestly, honestly, we're just friends" she paused "Plus, he's got Kate. And Kate's a very nice person"
"But, if there's no Kate?"
"One Jay's ultimately nosey, isn't it?" she returned his teasing, laughing
He laughed in unison with her.
"Right, okay, okay, I give up" he said, raising both his hands up "This is your debut film right? How's it feel? I mean, 'Crash' is a big word in the entertainment world"
"I don't know. I mean, I still feel like I'm dreaming even after the shoot's all raped up. The feeling is like one day a person calls you and says you win the lotto. You know, when the casting director called me I was like 'This has gotta be a prank'. Oh god! My reaction was so surreal because being called for an audition's like so unexpected. I screamed and screamed when I replaced the receiver, honestly"
Jay and the audience kept on laughing.
The conversation took quite long. They talked about the movie's synopsis, the scenes she's had a hard time doing, the fashion business she has and of course, her coming projects. Shandy's actually due for another movie which she happily and proudly plugged during the show.
"And now, Fall Out Boy" Jay announced and soon, the casually elegant ambience turned into a teenage rock concert environment.
Are we goin up? Or just goin down its just a matter of time until we're all found out. Take your tears, put 'em on ice, cause I swear, I'll burn the city down to show you the light. With the therapist, thumping through your speakers, the little ring just what you need and wear it and poised………………….
Pete playing his bass, jumping up and down, and looking hotter than he was a while ago. Shandy had to admit, He was a little okay, with the bass on.. He glanced at Shandy and smiled, making the camera acknowledge the person he was smiling at. She smiled back.
After the performance…
"That was a great performance, Pete. Not to mention hot too" Shandy complimented
"Thanks" he grinned
"So, I'll see you later?" he asked, bringing back the topic they had left unfinished a while ago
"Yeah, of course"
"What time should I pick you up?"
"Here's my address" she said still smiling, handing the piece of paper to him "I might be done with the shoot at around 5. So, if you give me time to prepare, 6:30's fine"
"6:30 it is" he nodded
"PETE!" a band member of his called out
"Oh, shocks, I gotta go. Duty calls."
"Yeah, me too"
"It was nice meeting you Brooke"
"You too"
Lucas was awoken from his sleep when the plane's intercom announced that they were 10 minutes from L.A. California. In a few moments, Lucas will soon breathe the air Brooke is breathing. In a few moments, Lucas will soon see her again. In a few moments Lucas will talk to her again. That's if he finds her, soon. Viva Las L.A. he thought, replacing Vegas with L.A.
Brooke was AGAIN, having her make-up done; only this time, it was for a photo shoot with her co-star, Orlando Bloom. And, yes, once again, he was late. As usual. He was usually late, about 10 to 15 minutes during shoots and the reason? Love. Love surely has a hold on a lot of people. Finally, she heard his voice echoing through the make-up room.
"Sorry, guys, late again, I know, I know. My bad" he uttered in mortification
"Bad day?" she asked
"You betcha" emotions were spurting out as he sat down for his make-up "She said I wasn't paying attention to her!" he continued, facing her and then returning when the Shirley, the make-artist started painting.
She realized Orlando was pertaining to Kate Bosworth. "She did!" she herself was surprised "But you like spend every minute of every day with her. How much attention does she want?"
"I… I don't know. I mean, I don't know what the hell's happening to me and her. You know, she used to ask permission from me and now I just see her in one of those gossip magazines with this anonymous guy. I really think I'm losing her to that guy"
"Don't be silly! You're far better than that anonymous guy, I mean, hello! In case you haven't noticed, you've got the looks, the body, the brains, the attitude, the everything. I mean you're like THE dream guy"
"Really?" he asked, turning crimson. Very much flattered by her compliments.
"Well, yeah—but you owe me 10 bucks" she teased
They laughed, making him smile for the very first time today.
After a somewhat short pause, "What happened with Jay?" Orlando asked
"Went pretty well but he kept on pairing us" The make-up artist was painting her lips making the words sound impaired "Even insisted that we're together"
"Ha! Get that all the time" he snorted "You should get use to that kind of talks, I mean, pretty soon, you'll see yourself in a magazine, looking pregnant and the caption says 'Orlando plants a baby in Shandy's stomach' you know, crap like that"
"It's weird how unreal news spreads fast"
"Yeah, you got it right"
After a short pause caused by the request of Shirley, "You gonna visit your shrink tonight?"
"No" Finally, she was done. Next stop was her wardrobe. But, it had to wait, besides, Orlando still isn't finished.
"Why don't we have dinner, since I owe you 10 bucks right?"
"As much as I love to get the 10 bucks you owe me for complimenting you, I can't" lips wry, again.
"Why? The offer's pretty good if ask me. Better than 10 bucks"
"Well, it is good BUT someone asked me out a while ago"
"Oh, by that, you mean at the show?"
"Yeah" she nodded at the same time
"Really?"
"Uhu, you do know Fall Out Boy right?"
"Yeah, the rock band?"
"Ya. Pete, from Fall Out Boy asked me out" she faced the mirror and viewed her reflection "He said he met me in Tree Hill once in a concert and oddly, he remembered me!"
"Small World. Past's coming back to you?"
"Yeah. Very"
"Why are you going out with him then?"
"He seems like a nice guy. Plus, I think I should really move on and start seeing people, you know end the singleness-shinding"
"And it took Pete for you to realize that?" Eyebrow up
"Maybe, maybe not. I haven't dated in a while and I actually miss it"
"And that's why you're going?"
"Well, yeah, plus, as I've said, he's a nice guy"
"Improving! Last time I checked you'd totally kill yourself before you date someone"
"Well, last time I checked, it's a free country; so, I can date whenever I want to" teasing
"Glad your love life's going at the right direction" His tone suddenly shifted to a sad one. He was obviously implying his love life with Kate isn't headed towards the right track.
"Don't worry, she'll come to her senses soon. You're a great guy, I know she will" She comforted
"How I wish she would understand me like you do" sad and meditative.
