A/N Thanks for the reviews. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.
Ten years ago it was when I went to the summer place and I can still remember it like yesterday. Now twenty-seven I have to say I lived a good life. I don't regret what I did in the past because it happened for a reason. I became a dance instructor for ballet when I was 19, I continued that for five years, after that I traveled around the world. I didn't really need to work because my family was rich but I like to know that I can support myself without my father's help.My parents did indeed get a divorce. My father remarried a very lovely women. She, I would say is a better mother than my mother ever could be. If you curious what happen to my mother, she remarried some rich fool. However they got divorce because he was unfaithful. An about a year ago my mother died from cancer and I will just leave it at that. Haley, sweet hales,she became a singer, she did small shows around different towns, she had a beautiful voice, I would say she did that for about two and a half years.Then she moved out to a small town in Virginia and got herself a nice house. She now works at a small cafe that she says that she enjoys working at .Apparently she engaged to someone I have never met also.
If your wondering if I ever saw Lucas again, the answer would be no. I did however have a love life. I went on couple of dates, but it wasn't until I met John who was two years older than me that I had a long term relationship with,he was very polite and handsome young man. I gave myself away to him and I cried like never before after. It wasn't until that night when all my memories of Lucas came floating back into my life. John and I dated for 3 years until I called it off. I just felt guilty being with him while I was still in love with someone else. Since then I've been on my own and I have to say I enjoy being on my own. I feel free, like I always wanted to be when I was seventeen.

I haven't seen my sister in two years and now I was finally going to Virginia to see her and meet her husband to be. I pulled up to a two story house, that was beautiful and I got out of my car.
" Brooke!" Slam! I heard my sister shut the house door calling my name.
I excitedly ran towards my sister hugging her tightly" I miss you hales"
Never have I been so happy to see my sister as much as in that moment.
" I miss you more Brooke Davis"
"So this is your house" I pointed at her home. She smiled.
"Why yes, isn't nice? When I first saw it I was just 'I gotta have that house no matter what, it's just so me'" She laughed as she wrapped her arm around mine and we started to walk up on the steps leading to her house.
"You did good for yourself hales. I'm so proud of you little sister" I teased.
"Oh shut up" She pushed me, giggling.
We enter her house and headed into her kitchen.
"Would you like some coffee or tea" Haley asked
" Come on hales, coffee or tea?Are you trying to be like dad?" I joked.
" Ha-ha very funny, Apple juice then?" Haley started to pour some into a cup before I even answered.She handed me the cup which I took from her.
"Sooo" I said putting down the cup. " What was the big emergence for me to come down here, right away?"
"Well I'm kind of having a wedding party and I wanted my sister here for it" Haley put back the juice.
"Huh...Why wasn't Dad and Mary invited?" I ask speciously.
" It isn't the official wedding dinner,Oh crap, you want to go to the store with me to get some things for dinner?" Haley offered as she look around the kitchen for her purse.
"Sure, but what I don't get is, why are you having two wedding dinners?It's kind of pointless if you think about it hales I mean you have thought about it right? Or have you not even been thinking right?" I looked at her while she was still looking. " Haley are you even listening to me?"
She looked at me confused "Huh?Yeah, yeah" She motion her hand to me." I agree with what your saying"She finally found her purse on the chair covered with jackets.
I rolled my eyes"You know you weren't listening to me" I said getting up from my seat.
" Yeah who does" She laughed getting her keys out of her purse." Ready to rock & roll, sister?"
" Your a total dork" I laughed.

"Ah we need milk" My sister grab two gallons of milk from the shelf.
"So when do I get to meet this mystery man of yours?" I ask grabbing a boxes of cookies. I put them in the cart and then look at my sister who looked nervous.
"Soon" She replied slowly. I raised my eyebrow.
"Right. How come you wont tell me his name? Every time I ask you ,you always come up with something to avoid it " I ask.
My sister head was down " Really? I never notice that" She looked up and gave a slight smile.
I played along, I wasn't sure what she was hiding" Yeah really" I smiled "So then you wont have a problem of me asking what his name is then?"
Haley started to push the cart "Um well I just call him honey"
I shook my head "Does everybody call him honey?" We got into to the checkout line.
Haley shook her head "Ah no,no just me" She put the food and everything else on the checkout counter.
"Hey Haley" The cashier greeted,Haley face dropped.
"Oh hey Andy, I didn't know you were working today"
"Well that makes two of us, but don't you worry I'll still make it to your dinner tonight--"
Haley cut off what the cashier was saying " The dinner isn't until tomorrow night Andy"
The cashier look puzzled. " Haley you invited me for dinner tonight. Remember?"
Haley busted out laughing " Oh yeah, Im sorry Andy my heads been-" Haley stood thinking of a word
"Out of place? Crazy?Elsewhere?" I suggested. Haley look at me,giving me a fake smile.
" Why thank you Brooke"
I smiled sweetly "Oh no problem" I laughed.
"Andy this is my sister Brooke, she came into town for ...well for me"
Andy look at me with aw" Wow this is your sister?"
"Can you hurry please" A lady complained in line.
Andy the cashier bagged up our stuff and Haley handed him the money.
"Well see you tonight Haley , you too Brooke" I smiled.
We started to leave just as Andy yelled "Oh Haley tell Nathan I'll bring back his tools tonight"
I stop dead in my tracks. I look at my sister in disbelief.
" Nathan? As in Nathan Scott?" She nodded her head yes.
" As in your husband to be?" she nodded again. I shook my head and walked ahead of my sister.
" Brooke please don't do this, this is why I didn't want to tell you"
I stopped " That's not why I am mad Haley, It's the fact that you've been keeping this a secret for how long? I don't understand why you keep it from me when you know that I was eventually going to meet him. What exactly was your plan?" I awaited for an answer.
Haley threw her hands up in the air " I don't know ok! I just ...I didn't know what to do in this situation"
"There's nothing to it hales" I frowned.
" It's just I know Lucas is a touchy subject for you and Nathan is his brother--"
"What happen ten years ago doesn't matter anymore Haley, I'm over it" I smiled and leaned in giving my sister a hug. " Now come on let me see my future brother-in-law"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We drop off the food at the house than we went to the docks where apparently Nathan and his buddies were at. However once we got there, Haley saw some of her girlfriends which she didn't like at all because some of them had crushes on Nathan.
"You don't know how much I am going to dread this, the girls are going to gush all over you?" Haley opened her car door.
"Why is that?" I ask wondering getting out of the car and shutting it.
My sister replied by saying "Brooke your gorgeous, and plus your someone who is new and fresh. I also talk to them about how great you are so basically I gush about you"
I hugged my sister "Aww you gush about me" I teased " Well hales I totally gush about you to my friends,they really want to meet you as soon as possible. They want to hear that beautiful voice of yours" I eenthusiastically told her.
Haley groaned when we started walking"Don't remind me about singing. Nathan wants me to sing at the wedding"
I look at her confused "I thought you loved singing?"
"I do, don't get me wrong but singing in front of whole bunch of people that you know is nervracking."
"What are you talking about?You use to love that attention"
"Ah yeah when I was a teenager Brooke, I'm an adult now" She said proudly
"Well excuse me Ms. Thing, I still see the child ness in you" I stuck my tongue out at her.
She smiled and stuck out her tongue "Look who still a kid herself" Haley laughed.
"Who's this women coming towards us?" I ask seeing a pretty women in high heels wearing shorts and a tank top."Why is she wearing high heels?" I whispered to my sister.
"She's a slut" Haley whispered back and smiled to the women who was coming towards us.
"Haley!" She waved "Oh my this must be your sister. Oh my,my,my your pretty. I bet all the boys drool over you." The women look at me up and down, I just laughed at my sister.
"Linda is Nathan here?" Haley ask.
"Of course your hunny bunny is here"
I cover my mouth to keep from laughing.
"Well if you excuse me I need to get something out of my car by the way I love your hair." The women pointed at my hair "See I was thinking of having my hair linked by my shoulders like yours but I just don't know if I could pull it off"
"Okay then" Haley smile "See you around" Haley grab my arm and we continued walking.
"Hunny bunny huh?" I teased, trying to keep a straight face.
"Don't even start with the jokes"
We got to the docks and walked up the steps and saw the guys fishing.
"Nathan!" Haley called out. All the guys looked over at us. That's when I saw a familiar face and it wasn't Nathan's familiar face I saw, it was the other Scott brother.
"Haley!" Nathan came running picking up Haley into his arms, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
Nathan looked about the same except the fact he looked more grown up. He looked over at me. Than back at Haley.
"Don't worry she knows, everything's fine" Haley reassure Nathan. He look back at me.
"Well are you going to hug your sister-in-law or just stare at her?" I asked putting a smile on his face.
"I don't know your pretty good to look at" He joked as Haley smack his chest. "Ouch" He flinched."I was kidding gosh" He rubbed his chest. Then he walked over to me and gave me a hug.
"Good to see you Nathan"
"Good to see you too,Brooklyn"
I started to laugh."Wow Brooklyn. I haven't been called that in many years"
Nathan put his arms around Haley. "Really?No one calls you that anymore?"
I shook my head"Nope, thank goodness too. I kind of took control of my life once I turned 18"
"Hey I totally know how you feel once you guys left I took control of my life" Nathan said
"Yes you did, but you can tell her your amazing story some other time babe. We got to start dinner" Haley said looking up at him.
"It's already starting, everyone agreed on a BBQ"
Haley frown "Geez wish you people would tell me these things,I went to the store and everything, oh yeah Andy will bring--"
"Yeah the tools, but I highly doubt that. He always forgets"
As Haley and Nathan talked. I could see Lucas's eyes darting back and forth to me and the water. He look really good, what am I kidding he look Freakin Gorgeous!Beyond gorgeous. He was hott! He was wearing jeans and a denim shirt. On the top few of the buttons were unbutton. This time he actually had hair on his head, perfect link too, short but stylish.And he seemed to has a slight beard on his face.
"Everybody start getting ready for the BBQ" Nathan said giving the cue to his friends that it was time to leave the dock.
"Where are we having it babe?"Haley ask Nathan.
"Right down there by the beach" Nathan replied gathering all his things.
Everybody started to leave, all who was left on the dock was Haley,Myself,Nathan,Lucas who was at the very end of the dock with some other guy.
Nathan finally gathered his things "You girls ready to go and party!" He laughed
Haley gave Nathan a weird expression "Don't do that"
"Do what?" Nathan ask Haley.
"What you just did" Haley grab a bag from him.
"Which was what?" Nathan ask Haley because he obviously didn't get what Haley was saying.
"What you just did,acting like an idiot" She said though her teeth.
I laughed "My gosh you guys are really like a married couple" I took the bag from my sister. "I'll put this in the car as you two continued arguing about absolutely nothing"
"Wait Brooke let me come with you" Haley said giving Nathan a evil look as he looked completely lost.
Haley and I walk back to the car and put the stuff in the car. Then we started to walk towards the beach.
"So ah I should of told you that Lucas was here earlier" Haley look at the ground.
"It's fine. He looks really good though" I said causally
Haley smiled "Oh yeah,he's lookin pretty good for his age" She said.
We both laughed together.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The BBQ was fun in its own way. Nathan's single friends wanted my number as the girls just hated me because I guess I'm considered pretty. I never considered myself ugly but never did I think I was beautiful. I thought of myself as normal looking, between the middle. Lucas kept his distance,he would look at me every once in a while but that was about it as it seemed he enjoyed his time joking around and laughing with friends. I left the area to go the bathroom which was by the docks, I assure Haley that I could find the bathroom on my own even if it was dark. After using the bathroom I decided that I didn't want to go back yet so I went to the docks and sat at the edged, dangling my legs over the water looking up at the stars in the sky.
"Hello stranger" A startling voice said behind me. I looked back and it was Lucas. He moved forward and sat down next to me. I smiled at him as he looked at me.
"So why is it your out here?" He ask
"I needed to breathe" I replied. "Why is it your out here?" I asked
"I needed a breather too. Those people can be overwhelming sometimes"
I acted like I was shocked "Really? I wouldn't have notice" I said sarcastically. He shook his head laughing.
"I know right?" He joked.
"Well um..I should be probably start heading back before Haley has a freak attack" I said getting up.
"Yeah" I head him say
I started walking away as he stayed there sitting.
"Hey!" He called out. I turned around.
He looked at me "Thank you" He said sincerely. I looked at him confused. "You saved me from going the wrong direction in life" He look so cute as he said that. My heart longed for him so much. But I just gave him a warm smiled and said.
"Your welcome" And left the docks and headed back to the beach.
