AN/ So I am slowly getting over my writers block. I know what I need to write and I have ideas I just get stuck. Its very annoying... anyway I'm happy that you liked the last chapter cause I didn't but that's just my opinion. So Luke is moving today and starting his new life with his daughter. I promise to start adding Leyton to the equation.

I bent down and picked up another cardboard box that littered my now empty apartment and brought it outside to my car. Peyton's trunk is already full with my left over boxes and her and Izzie's things too. I walked out of the door and to my car. Izzie stood talking to Haley, Bevin and Jamie while me, Peyton, Dan, Skill's and Junk put the rest of the boxes in my trunk. I decided to move to New Jersey it is easy for Izzie and it gives me a fresh start. I will miss Tree Hill and most of the people in it a lot but we all have to move on sometime.
"Last one" Dan informed me as I was about to walk back inside. I nodded and regarded my apartment. I have only lived in it for two years but it was still home. I waited until everyone has gathered before I said my goodbyes. Dan stepped forward first.
"Good luck Son" He said, pulling me into a bear hug. "Keep in touch" I nodded and moved on to Skills. Skill's held his hand out to me which I took and he pulled me into a manly hug.
"Miss you Dawg"
"Yeah you too. Look after the family" I replied, letting go. Skills and Bevin got married two years ago and she is expecting her first child. A little girl. Bevin tried pulling me into hug next which was quite hard considering she is six months pregnant and is big now. I laughed and kissed her cheek.
"Miss you too Bevin" She blushed and blew a kiss to me.
Nathan took a step forward with Jamie in his arms and held out his hand, going for the manly approach. I shook my head at him and pulled them into a tight hug.
"Take care of yourself big brother" He said, patting me on the back. I nodded and let go off him. Jamie held out his arms for me. I smiled at picked him up.
"Take care of the family" I said to Nathan.
"Bye Jamie. Keep playing" I said to Jamie who has been quiet all day. He nodded and hugged me tightly then held out his arms for his father. I smiled at him and gave him back to Nathan before turned to Haley. Now for the hard part, not like saying goodbye to my friends and family is hard but I know that Haley will cry and get upset which will make me get upset and I really don't want to cry.
Haley stood beside Nathan with tears in her eyes. I sighed deeply and held out my hands to her. She started sobbing and wrapped her arms around me tightly.
"Don't cry, Hales. We'll still talk everyday and you can come and visit anytime you want" She nodded silently, soaking my white shirt but I didn't mind.
"It won't be the same. I'll miss you Scott" She whispered. I pulled her closer and held her for a moment before letting go.
"I'll miss you too, Haley James-Scott" She wiped her eyes and smiled weakly at me.
Brooke entered my head unexpectedly but I knew she wouldn't come to say goodbye she isn't talking to me and is at work right now but the weird thing is that I don't mind. I thought I would be upset or at least mad about it but I'm not. I'm excited to move to New Jersey and make up for the lost time with my daughter and get to know Peyton more. There is something about her that I can't quiet but my finger on but she is a funny girl and I love how protective and motherly she is of Izzie.
Someone nudged me and looking over I saw Peyton standing beside me. Her hair is tied up again and she is wearing a Nike hoodie that I lent her since the black leather jacket she wore yesterday got filthy when Izzie and Jamie decided to have a water and mud fight and Peyton got stuck in the middle.
"Well I guess its time we go going" She said. I looked over at my family and friends and with a sigh I nodded.
She lent into me slightly and whispered "Don't cry Scott" before walking over to her car where Izzie already sat in the front passenger seat.
I shook my head at her and walked over to my car and with one more look at the other I waved and got in. Peyton started the engine and with a honk of her horn started to drive away. I followed watching everyone wave at our retreating cars through my rear view mirror.
Eight, maybe nine hours later we arrived in Bridgeton and outside Amy's house. Finally. After we got stuck in traffic in New York and then I got lost again a few moments ago not realising how long Westwood Avenue is.
"Took you time!" Peyton teased as she took the last box out of her trunk and brought it over to the house.
"Can I go now?" Izzie complained when I got out. She lent against Peyton's car with her arms folded, obviously sulking.
"Yes!" Peyton called from the house. Izzie smiled and speed walked out of the driveway and down the road. I watched her leave, clueless to where she was going. I was about to call after her when Peyton answered for me.
"Don't worry she is going to her friend Zoë's house. She lives down the road and has been driving me nuts with her constant calls for the last three hours. Besides Izzie will just complain about packing and how much she hates us if we don't let her go. I told her to come back in an hour" I nodded. At least Peyton knows where Izzie is that's fine and she is right about complaining during unpacking.
"You don't have to help me unpack. I can do it" I told Peyton as I picked up a box.
"You packed everything I might as well help you unpack and anyway you don't know where anything is" She walked ahead and towards the house. I followed and looked at Amy's house in amazement. It is huge, way bigger then any house or apartment I have ever lived in. I looked as big as Nathan and Haley's house back in Tree Hill but older, more defined.
"So which house in yours?" I asked when we went back for the last boxes. She pointed to the house on the left. I noticed that most of the houses look the same but not Peyton's and Amy's both their houses are painted a light blue colour while the other are all white. At least this way I can't forget where I live I thought with a smile.
"Ok. So I'll show you where you room is and help you unpack" We walked up the wooden stairs and into the second door. I'm guessing that this is Amy's room I thought looking around. Peyton put the box she was carrying on the floor and I started going through them. Peyton soon followed.
"You have a lot of books Scott!" She spoke up some time later. I was unpacking the boxes that held my clothes. "One…" She trailed off counting the boxes. "Twelve boxes full of books! You book worm!"
I laughed and stood up. "Hey! There is nothing wrong with being a book worm!"
"If you say so" I looked over at the door to see Izzie and a black haired girl standing there.
"Hello Izzie and…"
"Zoë" The girl says, holding out her hand. "You must be Eugene"
I groan and look over at Izzie. She smirks at me but stays silent.
"It's Lucas" I say shaking her hand.
"Oh. Well I like Lucas better then Eugene. Eugene is a stupid name, like a Granddad's name or something" Both Izzie and Peyton burst out laughing and I can't help but smile at the girl's bluntness.
"Well it's my middle name but… thank you for being honest" She nods.
"So… this was lovely! Bye!" Izzie says quickly, dragging Zoë away. I look back at Peyton to see her trying to hold back her laughter.
"Izzie has great friends!" I joke. Peyton laughs harder.
"I think she likes you" I laugh and nod. I just need to get my daughter to like me I think to myself as I put another book in the book shelf not noticing that Peyton has left the room.
"I ordered Pizza" She informs me. I smile, knowing that I could smell something along the lines of Pizza.
"Nice" I reply, standing up and following her into the living room. My mouth drops out at the sight of it. It is huge, bigger then Nathan's. I quickly snap out of it and grab a slice of plain cheese with a smile. Izzie and Peyton are sitting to my right giggling away and I don't attempt to understand what at. I just sit beside Izzie.
"Hello, old man Eugene!" Izzie teases before her and Peyton burst out laughing again. I shake my head at them both, trying to fight the smile that is growing on my face.
AN/ So I went on this website to see what the distance is from Wilmington to Bridgeton in a car and the website said it takes approximately 6.4 hours at 60 mph in a car I just added time to it. Also I don't think Eugene is an old man's name but my younger brother does lol.
