Episode 14 Ch. 1- The Big Time

Isabella is in her room getting dressed. Brooke comes in, "Hi beautiful."

"Hi mom, what's got you in such a good mood?" Isabella asked her rather cheery mother.

Brooke smiled, "Well I think today is going to be an extra special day for you!"

"I have school mom," she told her as she rolled her eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at me, your Aunt Peyton invented the eye roll so you can't pull it off," Brooke said with a chuckle. "So do you want to know why today is going to be an extra special day for you?"

"Sure," Isabella finally gave in.

Brooke plopped down on the bed, "Well my line is finished, and I really need my model today." Brooke saw her daughter's face light up.

"Seriously, Mom that's awesome," she hugged her mother. "But what about school?"

"This is so much more important than school. So what do you say are you in?"

"Of course," Isabella squealed and hugged her mother again.

Peyton was downstairs getting the kids lunches ready for school. Lucas came down with the kids in tow. "Mommy can I have a pop tart?" Savannah asked.

"We're all out of pop tarts. Mommy has got to go shopping today," Peyton admitted.

"Okay," Savannah said. "Daddy are you ready yet?"

"Almost," Lucas said as he walked over and gave his beautiful wife a kiss. "You look amazing."

"Oh please Luke I haven't even put make-up on yet," Peyton said looking at her husband.

"But your still gorgeous," Luke kissed her again.

Keith came down the stairs, and was about to head out the door. "Hey Keith wait," Lucas said stopping him.

"What?"

"Don't take that attitude with your father please," Peyton warned him.

"Whatever"

"Ooh Keith said a bad word," Savannah said.

Lucas was getting frustrated, "Keith all I wanted to tell you was that the offer still stands about you playing fifteen minutes a game."

"No thank you," he said sharply.

"Keith I think it might be a good idea," Peyton chimed in.

"I don't care what you think," he said with anger in his voice.

"Keith Sawyer Scott," Lucas began to raise his voice.

Keith raised his voice back, "I don't want to play fifteen minutes a game. I love basketball, but I don't want to cut my dream down to fifteen minutes a night. That would be like asking you to cut your writing down to fifteen minutes a day, and asking mom to only spend fifteen minutes a week drawing or fifteen minutes with her music. If you ask me its just not worth it," he walked out of the house slamming the door behind him.

Peyton took a deep breath, and Lucas was angry. He had hoped things would change, but they hadn't, and he wasn't sure that Keith would ever get over losing basketball.

Summer was running late for school when Lily came in. "Hey you, what's wrong?" Summer asked Lily.

"Um I wasn't going to tell you because I didn't want to put you in the middle," Lily started babbling.

"What is it?"

"The other night I saw Joanna coming out of Spencer's house. I think they are together," Lily said holding back the tears.

"Oh Lil I'm sorry," she hugged her friend. "Why were you at Spencer's?"

"I um was going to tell him that I miss him, but that fell short when I saw Joanna coming out of his house," Lily finally told her.

"You miss him?" Summer questioned.

"Like hell," she let the tears fall from her eyes. Summer just hugged her friend.

Laura walks out of her house to see Chase waiting for her. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I could drive my girlfriend to school," he said with a smile on his face.

"I have a perfectly good car with plenty of gas in it."

"Well I would love to drive you to school if you would like to ride with me," he said moving closer to her.

"Okay I guess I could save my gas since you are already here and all," she smiled as she got into his car.

Jamie was in his room starring at a picture of his mom, "Hey you okay?" Nathan asked.

"Yeah dad I'm fine," he lied to his father.

"Are you sure?" Nathan prodded.

"Yeah," Jamie lied again, and then Nathan saw the picture he was looking at.

"I miss her everyday too," Nathan told him.

"I never say anything about missing her because I'm afraid that it might make you sad," Jamie admitted.

"She loved you so much James, and I know that she would be so proud of you."

He sighed, "Yeah."

"Jamie I know you're upset because you didn't win, but you did great," Nathan told him.

Jamie sat the picture on his night stand, "Hearing Becky sing mom's song made me miss her even more."

"I know me too."

"I'm glad Becky won because she is amazing, but I really wish she wouldn't have sang that song."

"To be honest with you me too," he hugged his son. "I think that your mom is probably smiling at us right now. She always liked when we had father/son moments."

"Yeah me too dad. Thanks for the talk, but I've got to get to school." Jamie hugged his father again, and then walked out of his room grabbing all of his stuff.

Nathan looked at the picture Jamie had been starring at. "I love you Haley," he whispered as he sat the picture up on the desk.
