Episode 14 Ch.2 The Change

Brooke was in her store. Sophie was behind the counter in the crib, and Isabella was in the back getting dressed. Victoria came in with tons of bags. "Hi honey," she said cheerfully.

"Oh hey mom," she was surprised to see her.

"Don't sound so happy to see me," Victoria said as she placed the bags on the counter.

"Oh I am mom," Brooke smiled. "We missed you. It looks like you did my favorite thing while you were away."

"Oh yes honey I did some major shopping," she pulls a little dress out of the bag. "Look what I bought for Sophie. Isn't darling?"

"Yeah she'll love it," Brooke said.

Victoria picks up Sophie. "I missed you baby girl."

Isabella comes out wearing one of Brooke's formal gowns. "How do I look?"

"Oh wow baby you look amazing," she walks over and gives her a daughter a hug. "I'm so proud of you. You look hot." Isabella smiles and Victoria holds onto Sophie with dear life.

Peyton is at her dad's house drinking tea with him. "I'm glad you came by sweetheart," he told her.

"Yeah I really needed to see my daddy," Peyton said as she took another sip of her tea.

He smiles, "Tell me what's on your mind."

"Well my husband's son hates me, and my son has a heart condition that could kill him," Peyton frowned. "I need you to tell me that Lucas and I are doing the right thing with both of them."

"Honey it would be dangerous for Keith to play, and he'll realize that soon enough. As for Charlie I think the only thing you can do is be there for him and tell him how much you love him."

"I hope you're right," Peyton said.

"What else is going on Peyton?" he sensed that there were other things going on with his daughter.

"Brooke and I aren't talking. Well truth be told I'm not talking to Brooke."

"Peyton, you and Brooke have been through a lot. I'm sure you can get through this," Larry told her.

"I don't know if I want to get through this with Brooke. She hurt me dad. She put Keith's life in danger. I just I can't…." his phone rings and she stops talking.

"Hold on one second," he answered his phone. "Hello…yeah…but….okay…I'll be right there," when he gets off the phone he looks disappointed. "I'm sorry honey, but I have to go to work for a few hours."

"Oh okay well I can just go home. I need to do some shopping anyways," Peyton said getting up from her seat.

Grace comes downstairs, "Peyton I could help you go shopping. I need to pick up a few things too."

"Oh I don't know," Peyton didn't really like Grace all that much.

"Okay come on it'll be fun."

"Alright sure why not," she said reluctantly.

Larry smiled. He really wanted his wife and daughter to get along.

Jacey is at her locker when Keith finds her, "Hey."

"Hi," she said. "Are you sober?"

"Your still pissed," he noted.

"Yeah of course I'm still pissed Keith. Your parents haven't let you out of the house until the other night and you choose to get drunk and act like an ass instead of the guy I fell in love with," she closed her locked and walked off.

"Let me make it up to you, please," he begged.

"Fine, I guess I could come over tonight. We could study together," she suggested.

"Sounds great," he smiles and kisses her forehead.

Summer and Lily are walking down the hall, "So I've been thinking."

"About what?"

"About you and Spencer," she smiled.

"There is no me and Spencer, but there is a Spencer and Joanna maybe you should think about them," says sarcastically.

"You should talk to him," she stops Lily. "You really need to talk to him. You guys haven't really talked since the breakup."

"I can't talk to him," Lily shook her head.

"You have to," she warned her as they walked into class.

Lucas was in his office when Nathan walks in. "Hey big brother, how's it going?"

"Well you know the same," he sighed.

"I'm sorry, I wish I could help."

Nathan sits down across form him. "It's okay I'm getting used to it," Lucas told him.

"How's the game plan going?"

"It sucks too," Lucas sounded defeated.

"I'm gonna do my best to help get the team back on track," Nathan informed him. "The team is good Lucas. They just need to know that they have a shot without Keith."

"I don't know if they do," Lucas admitted.

"What? Come on Lucas you know damn well that this team is the best team you've ever coached with or without Keith," Nathan yelled. "You have to show them that you believe in them."

"I'm trying," Lucas yelled back.

"Try harder," Nathan ordered.

The brothers just sat back and looked at each other. Lucas knew that Nathan was right.

Emily was sitting in the kitchen when Jake came in. "Hey I thought you were at work," she said because she was surprised to see him."

"Well I have some news," Jake told her as he sat down at the table.

"What kind of news? Did you get fired Jake?"

"No, but I talked to my physical therapist, and he said that I should be able to go back to being a firefighter very soon," Jake said happily.

"But Jake isn't that dangerous for you," she was worried about him.

"No, he said I should be fine. God I'm so happy Emily. This is exactly what I've been working so hard for," he got up from his seat. "I love you," he kissed her passionately.

After they pulled away Jake was surprised she didn't say she loved him back, but he decided to let it go, and kissed her again.

Jenny was walking into her dorm room when she saw Rob sitting on her bed. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"I took a sick day at work. I started to worry about my girlfriend," He told her standing up to greet her.

"What girlfriend?" she snapped at him. "Because we are no longer dating," she said harshly.
