"I hate airplanes" Audrina whined.
"I know baby you get your airsickness from me" Brooke laughed.
"Where's piggy?" Audrina asked.
"She's right here" Nathan said. "She's a good pillow"
"I know!" Audrina giggled. "I cant sleeps without piggy"
"I think we're about to land" Haley said. "So pull up your chairs"
"You should consider a career as a flight attendant" Peyton said.
"Maybe I will" Haley said sticking her tongue out.
"Flight attendants prepare for landing" the captions voice crackled over the system.
Three hours later…
Everyone was settled in there hotel room and Peyton and Brooke were digging through the mounds of crepe paper that Haley had purchased.
"This is crazy" Brooke shook her head. "I'm so nervous"
"Do I looks pretty, mommy?" Audrina flounced out in a pink tutu.
"You look gorgeous baby"
"Thank yous"
"Are you ready to go?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah" Peyton said. They met Nathan and Haley at the front of the hotel and hailed a cab. 20 minutes later, they pulled up to Lucas's house.
"JESUS" Nathan said when he saw the house.
"It's big" Peyton laughed.
"Big isn't the word" Haley laughed. "More like GIGANTIC"
"Okay, run and ring the doorbell just in case a cleaning service or someone else is in there" Brooke instructed.
They all trudged up the long driveway with party favors in hand and Brooke rang the doorbell. To their horror and surprise, Lucas ran to the door and opened it. He was shirtless and in his boxers.
But the next thing they saw was even more horrific. Heather Austen came up next to Lucas in a robe with a smirk on her face and wrapped an arm around his waist.
"So, you're Lucas's little friends?" she sneered.
"I can't believe I flew all the way for this" Brooke said, her voice breaking. "I'll see you guys back at the hotel" she turned and ran down the driveway.
"Brooke, wait…BROOKE!" Lucas ran after her down the driveway and in no time had caught up to her. He grabbed her arm and stopped her. "Wait, Brooke"
"Why should I wait, Lucas?" Brooke said, tears now running freely down her face. "Its obvious you've moved on!"
"Please, let me explain"
"NO!"
"Brooke, please" Lucas said. "It isn't what it looks like"
"That's crap" Brooke said, sobbing. "I'm going back to the hotel"
"BROOKE" Lucas said. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close to him. Brooke sank into his chest and sobbed.
"Lucas…I missed you. I came here with some hope that maybe we could fix things but you with that girl just broke my heart…Lucas Scott I love you more than life itself and I don't think I can go on much longer without you" Brooke sobbed.
"I was hoping you would say that" Lucas whispered, kissing her. "I've missed you these last 5 months more than I've ever missed anyone in my entire life…you're the one for me, Brooke Davis. I know it"
"What about…her?"
"Brooke we didn't even sleep together" Lucas said. "I promise"
"I believe you" Brooke said, wiping her tears.
Little Audrina had made her way down the driveway and was now standing in front of her parents with her arms crossed.
"Ares we gonna start the party? The ice-creams melting Mommy!"
"Come on baby" Brooke bent down and picked her up.
"Mommy, are yous sad?"
"No, I'm not" Brooke said, smiling through her tears.
"Are you crying happy tears?"
"Yes…yes I am"
A few hours later…
"This is the best birthday ever" Lucas said. His arms were wrapped tightly around Brooke and they were sitting on the couch. Heather had left in a huff and everyone was eating cake and laughing. "Thanks you guys"
"It was fun" Haley laughed.
"So, Lucas Scott" Peyton said. "How's playing with one of the best teams in the nation feel like?"
"Really good" Lucas laughed.
"I bet the bank account feels good too"
"It feels really good" Lucas laughed. It was obvious that he had money. Someone had updated his wardrobe, and Brooke suspected it had been one of the teammate's PR girls. His house was obviously cleaned by a maid and his car was a new Lexus, not his old Honda.
"So we'll get back to the hotel now?" Haley said.
"Absolutely not" Lucas said. "There's plenty of room here. I'll send John to get your stuff"
"John?" Brooke asked.
"My…assistant?" Lucas said sheepishly.
"Lucas Scott you dirty little rich boy" Brooke whispered in his ear. "I love you"
"Brooke Davis, I love you too" Lucas whispered back.
"I'll miss you while you're gone" Lucas said to Brooke, kissing her.
"I'll miss you too…but soon, baby, soon" Brooke said. "It's October…only two more months"
"I know" Lucas said.
"No having fun with that Heather girl, ok?"
"I promise with all my heart"
Brooke and Lucas had gotten back together. Brooke had decided to move to Ohio in December and finish off the last half of her senior year of undergrad in Ohio. They had stayed up all night talking about it on Lucas's back porch.
"I love you"
"I love you too" Lucas said, kissing her again. "Call me when you guys get home, ok?"
"Bye brother in law" Haley laughed, hugging him bye.
"Bye sister in law" Lucas laughed, hugging her back.
"DADDY will I see's you soon?" Audrina pouted.
"Yeah baby…next weekend" Lucas said, kissing her. "Be good for mommy, ok?"
After everyone had said their goodbyes, they boarded the plane. Before Brooke entered the long passageway, she turned to look at Lucas. He mouthed I love you and smiled and Brooke felt herself falling in love all over again.
