A/N: It has been a while since I posted a chapter for this and I am not really happy with this but I just had to post it and get past this. Enjoy and don't hate me.
While the girls met at the Thai place Brooke loved so dearly the Scott boys grabbed some burgers and went to the river court. No wonder Junk, Fergie and Skillz were also down there shooting around it is like they are glued to the place and could never leave.
Everyone congratulated Nathan and Lucas for being on the team. They all knew about it since Mouths announcement. Skillz was the first to bring back a really bad memory for all of them. Well it wasn't all bad but it turned out as one hell of a black day.
„And no not taking the medication right?`"
„I was a dumb teenager! I am taking what I have to take and I am not going to risk my life again!"
„No need to get angry Luke. We all just don't want that to happen again!"
„What is going to happen again?" Jamie asked. Having heard everything but not knowing what they were talking about.
„We were just worried about Uncle Lucas and his health. See one day, before you were born he had some problems because he played to hard and didn't take his medicine and we just said we don't want that to happen again.!" Nathan explained the little one.
„OK so it is better you don't play at all, right Uncle Lucas? Momma always says to not play ball if I am sick."
„But I am not sick Jamie!"
„But why do you need to take medicine then? I only take medicine when I am sick!"
„The kid has a point Luke! Can you explain?" Nathan said and looked at his brother , you could say triumphantly.
Jamie had made a point and well considering history he was right. Basketball was okay but Pro Ball? That was another story all together.
„So enough sad topics. Luke what is going on in your life besides being back on the court? I mean you had a life and a job and everything!" this time Fergie asked. Lucas let out a sigh of relief, hoping that he now wouldn't have to explain to the little boy what is going on.
„Well you all know how I moved out to New York for my book deal. But after we had finished the editing and the book tour and everything I couldn't write anymore. Somehow I must have lost my muse. So I needed to look for a new job and I became a Lit teacher. In my free time I played ball and soon some guys, playing at a local team asked me to join. That was the team the scout saw me on. The rest was on national TV."
That was so not what the guys wanted to hear because it had been on TV. And Mouth had told them.
„Luke my man. So not the important part. What about a better half?" Skills got curios at the lack of mention of a female name in that whole scenario.
„Yeah Luke we have been playing, nearly living together and you haven't even called a girl. What is up with that?" Nathan felt the need to ask.
He hadn't pushed his brother on the matter while they were alone but now with everyone asking and wanting to know, it couldn't hurt, right? Lucas stared at the men in front of him. They were like women right now, only looking for good gossip.
„Come on guys! What are you? The girls in disguise?" and everyone burst out in laughter.
„What's so funny?" Jamie asked.
„Nothing just your daddy is acting like a girl!" Lucas told his nephew.
„Ewww! Daddy than you better join mommy at Thai thingy!" the little one told his dad and than continued shooting hoops.
„Thanks man now my own son thinks I should better be with the women gossiping! But seriously what about a woman in your life? Or any other activities besides teaching and basketball. Oh and loosing your muse! Did you find another one?"
„OK I'll tell you but you are not going to laugh or judge me. And you are going to stay calm!"
„Well that sounds like an interesting story!"
Like the guys the girls were talking about everything that had happened in their respective lives but none of them was as secretive as Lucas for that matter. That suddenly changed when Peyton's cell phone rang.
„Hey Callie! Whats up?"Brooke and Haley both didn't recognize the name and got curios because Peyton began to soothe the girl on the other line.
„What he sent you divorce papers? What happened?"
I haven't even met that guy and now this.
„Okay now calm down and book yourself a flight to Tree Hill this is where I am right now. Than you text me your flight information and I'll pick you up. See you soon!" with that she hung up again and smiled apologetic at her friends.
„Sorry for that."
„So who is Callie?" Brooke asked.
„Brooke you have to remember her. My cousin Callie!"
„Oh the one that was like your twin?"
„Yeah exactly her."
„And she was married?"
„Yeah like 9 months ago she told me she had gotten married. And now that jackass apparently left her and sent her divorce papers that arrived at their anniversary. Well you both can imagine how she feels right now."
„Who is the guy? Do you know him?" Haley asked.
„No! I haven't met him yet and well she is going to tell us more when she arrives."
A couple of minutes later Peyton's phone vibrated signaling the arrival of Callie's flight information.
„She gets in from New York in about three hours, so I better hurry to get a room ready. She can stay with us right Brooke?"
„Yeah no problem! And to get her mind off of this idiot we have a girls night out! Hales you in?"
„Hell yes! Just let me tell Nathan that he has to stay home tonight."
„I think there is a game on so the guys can have their basketball watching session at your place." Brooke added and Haley went to call her husband.
„Hey!"
„Hey so Peyton's cousin is coming to town and we decided to have a girls night out. Can you watch Jamie?"
„OK but we wanted to watch the game..."
„No problem! You can have a barbecue or something and watch the game. Just clean up the mess you create!" Haley laughed.
„OK love you. And say hi to Cal for me!" the line went dead before Haley could respond so she turned to Peyton.
„Nathan knows her?"
„Yeah. Let me guess he told you to tell her hi!"
„Yeah. So lets go!"
„Don't worry Hales. He loves you and Callie is not really up for a new thing I think!"
„I know it is stupid but he never has mentioned her before and neither have you!"
„Oh well Callie is the independent one. She took her moms last name Krueger and went her own way."
„Interesting. I really think I am going to like her!" Haley said. They left the restaurant and went to get the car and drive to the airport.
A/N2: RJ sorry I no I cheated on Luke's life but I still haven't really figured that one out. It is just hard don't know why.
So what did you guys thinks? Tell me in a review ;-)
