Chapter Two Where's Momma

Five Years Later

"Jamie I'm home" hollered 24 year old Lucas Scott to his four year old little boy as he walked in the door after work. There was no answer. "Jimmy Jam where are ya buddy" he hollered yet again. Confused he began calling for his 11 month old daughter Maddie hopping maybe she would holler back, but once again the only answer Lucas got was silence. "Peyton" he screamed now hollering for his wife.

He went into his bedroom but nobody was there. He continued looking around. He opened the door to his daughters room and after he saw nobody in there either he was about to shut the door as well until he heard a noise coming from the closet. He curiously walked over and when he opened the door what he saw shocked him. His son was sitting in the floor with a bottle and his baby sister with him.

"James Lucas Scott, what in the heck what are you doing" Lucas asked picking up Maddie and helping Jamie up?

"Momma told us to hide from bad guys so she could go to Uncle Jake's, we went to the closet to hide a couple hours ago" Jamie explained.

"Are you telling me your mom left you guys by yourselves and hasn't been back for hours" Lucas asked angry?

"Yeah I'm sorry daddy" Jamie said.

"Jamie bud its not your fault daddy isn't mad at you I promise I'm gonna take you and your sister over to Aunt Haley and Uncle Nathan's while I go find mom okay" Lucas explained.

"Okay daddy" Jamie said as he and his father and sister walked out the door of their apartment down the hall to Lucas's brother's.

Lucas sighed deeply in the elevator a few minutes later as he rode it up to the seventh floor where he assumed he would find his wife Peyton and her colleague Jake Jagellski's apartment. When he arrived he knocked on the door several times but when he got no answer he just figured he'd walk in. Upon walking in he saw Peyton and Jake on the couch making out.

"Peyton" he hollered loudly over the music that was playing!

"Luke what in the h are you doing here" Peyton asked startled as she jumped up?!

"I should be asking you that you know its one thing to lie to me and go off and be a slut I expect that, but when you involve the kids by leaving our four year old and baby home alone then you've gone to far" Luke screamed!

"It's none of your freakin business what I do with those brats, they're my kids" Peyton hollered back!

"They're my kids too and when I get home after working all day I don't expect to find them sitting home alone, my brother lives four doors down, you couldn't spend two extra minutes taking the kids there before you come here to screw your co worker" Lucas asked?

"What the heck ever Lucas leave this isn't your house you have no right to be here or to be talking to Peyt like that here" Jake said stepping in.

"Mind your own business Jagellski otherwise your ex wife's attorney will be finding out all about how you put your daughter to bed at 4pm on the days you have her to screw my wife" Lucas threatened him before turning back to Peyton. "We will finish this when you get home" Lucas said before walking out.
