Chapter One.

The girls had finally made arrangements, and had been packing like crazy. Brooke had packed four suitcases already, and was now working on Ellies. She couldn't be more nervous. Ever free second she got, flashbacks of her and Lucas stuffed her brain.

"Luke, I need to talk to you" A 17 year old Brooke Davis told him.

"I need to talk to you about something too" He told her, looked oddly different than he did most days.

"Okay, you first" she said nervously.

"I got into UCLA" he told her with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Luke that's great!" she smiled, hugging him. "But it's so far away.." she realized, looking up at him, tears forming in her hazel eyes.

"That's what we need to talk about..I don't think we should stay together. You'll be working on your line, I'll be in California. We won't have time for each other..I just think we should move on" he admitted to her. She nodded, still comprehending what he had said.

"Okay..but school doesn't end of another two months" she questioned, wondering why he would break up with her now, instead of after graduation.

"I just think we should spend the next few months, getting over this, becoming friends, so it won't be so hard when we leave in the fall" Luke explained. She nodded, tears now flowing down her hot cheeks. he hugged her tight, everything in him not to change his mind. "But what was it you needed to tell me?" he asked her. Her heart stopped, she shook her head for a second.

"Oh, it's not important, I was going to say I was planning on moving to NYC this summer, that's all" she lied.

"Brooke that's great, you'll be doing exactly what you want" he exclaimed hugging her again. She nodded, her eyes still full of tears.

"I have to go, I'll see you later Lucas" she promised, giving him a weak smile and running off into the darkness. Lucas sat, watching her leave from his spot on the picnic table at the Rivercourt. And that was it, the last real conversation the couple had ever had.

"Mommy? are you okay?" Ellie asked. Brooke had been lost in a daze for at least 10 minutes now. At the sound of her daughters voice, she snapped out of it, whipping a stray tear from her eye.

"I'm fine baby" She promised, kissing her daughters four head before tickling her.

"Brooke! Ellie! Pizza's here!" Haley screamed from the kitchen. Brooke stopped tickling Ellie and picked her up, carrying her to the kitchen. Every time she looked into Ellies eyes, she thought of Lucas. Those baby blue eyes. They always got the best of her. "Brooke, you okay?" Haley questioned, watching her best friend stare at her daughter as she ate her pizza in silence.

"Huh? Yeah, fine" She lied. She was so scared, how could she tell Lucas about Ellie. "I'm not really that hungry though, I'm going to finish up packing Ellies stuff" she smiled, walking back towards her daughters room. When she got there, she picked up her cell phone that was still on her bed. Dialing 411 she waited.

"City and State of the listing you are looking for" a computer operated voice asked.

"Tree Hill North Carolina" Brooke replied, looking down at the floor. After a few seconds it asked for the name. "Peyton Sawyer" she said clearly.

"I'm sorry, there is no listing for Peyton Sawyer, if feel this is an error, please press one to talk to a live operator." Brooke paused for a second, before pressing 1 and then pound on her phone. "This is Lauren, how can I help you?"

"Um, I was looking for a listing for Peyton Sawyer?" Brooke stated in a questioning voice. After a few seconds the lady spoke again.

"There is no listing for that name, is it possible she got married or is no longer located in this town?" Lauren questioned. Brooke thought for a second before it hit her.

"Try Peyton Jagelski" She asked. Moments later she had the number in her hand, questioning if she should dial it. After debating for at least 10 minutes she gave in and dialed the number.

"Hello?" She heard Peytons voice say.

"Peyton?" She asked, just to be sure.

"Um yeah..who's calling?" Brookes face turned hot at the moment.

"It's Brooke" She finally told spat.

"Brooke? Brooke who?" She asked, excited at first, but then slowly confused.

"Brooke Davis, Peyton, do you not remember me?" She asked.

"No, no, I remember, I've just..forgotten what your voice sounds like " she admitted to her old friend.

"Long time no talk" Brooke laughed a bit.

"Yeah, tell me about it..but why are you calling now?" she asked curiously.

"Well, Hals and I will be in town next week.." she told her, "for the reunion and all"

"Oh, Brooke that's great! I can't wait to see you guys" She said, getting more excited by the moment.

"Yeah, same here." Brooke smiled to her self, maybe this wasn't a bad idea. The girls talked for about another 45 minutes when Peyton had to go put Jenny to bed. But they had planned for Peyton to pick Haley, Brooke and Ellie up from the airport, only, Peyton really didn't know about the Ellie part yet.
