Lucas
I never really knew what to make of Brooke when our two separate worlds collided. I obviously knew her from her reputation, but it wasn't until I really got to know her that I realized who she really was. Brooke opened her heart up to me and let me in, all the way. This girl, who never wanted a commitment, committed to me. And yes, she broke my heart before too. But, looking back, I realized that I broke her heart too, without even realizing the pain and heartache she was going through. Then of course, we fell in love and the story goes on from there.
Now, as I look at her laying beside me in bed, trying to figure out what our life ahead will be like.
And whether I should tell her the secret I have been keeping for a while now. It's not like I can keep it from her any longer. I just can't bear to tell her, I can't bear to see her heart broken.
Haley
I can't believe I actually saw him. I missed Nathan so much, though I would never let anyone know that. Part of me hopes he calls, I would love to talk to him again, hear his voice flowing through my ears.
"Mom, I'm home!" I heard Tyler call as the front door shut
But what about Tyler? How do I tell Nathan that I have a son?
"Hi baby." I said, walking into the kitchen where he put his backpack down.
"Hi mom." he said to me, kissing me on the cheek. "How was your day?"
"Long." I told him "Did you have fun at Aunt Brooke and Uncle Luke's?"
"Yea, Uncle Luke and I went to the River Court for a while." he told me
"That sounds fun." I said, handing him a glass of water
"Thanks." he said to me, before sitting down and doing his homework.
I don't think I can tell Nathan, I just can't. Tyler and I have a life of our own now. It's always been us against the world.
Nathan
I'm coming home from my seminar today. I am debating whether to stop in Tree Hill or not. Lucas called and said he needed to talk to me soon, about something.
"Excuse me." I said, tapping the driver on the shoulder "Could you pull off here?"
"Sure." he said, taking the exit that said, Tree Hill.
"I have no clue why I'm doing this." I said, accidentally out loud.
"Because you want to fix what's been broken?" the driver asked me.
"Yea, I guess. It's just that I haven't been back at all. The only person I talk to from here is my brother. And my ex-wife lives here, and I don't know if I can face her." I told him, wondering why I am telling a stranger all of this.
"Can you let me out here?" I asked him, as he was coming into Tree Hill by the River Court.
"Sure. Be careful." he said to me.
"Thanks." I said, getting out of the car.
I first walked to the River Court. My favorite place in the world. I sat on the bleachers for what seemed like hours, when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Hey mister." a boy said. "You wanna play?"
"No, you go ahead." I said to him,
"Okay." he said. But instead of going to play he sat down next to me.
"So, you new here?" he asked me
"Ehh, not really. I mean, I grew up here but moved away ten years ago." I told him
"How come?" he asked
"I guess it just got to be too much."
"My mom has lived here her whole life too. My aunt and uncle also." he told me
"Oh yea?" I asked, curious.
"Yep. She is a school teacher. And my Uncle coaches the Ravens basketball team." he said
My heart stopped for a second, Lucas was the basketball coach.
"What's your name?" I asked him
"Tyler. Tyler James." he told me
I stopped for a second and stared at him "And how old did you say you were?"
"I didn't. I'm 10."
I got up and started walking. It couldn't be. There was no way.
Lucas
"Luke!" I heard Brooke call from downstairs as I was getting ready "You're gonna be late for school!"
"I'm coming!" I yelled down
I said goodbye to Brooke and headed to school.
When I got there, the bell rang and the students sat down.
"Good morning class." I said
There were a few mumbles of good mornings and hello's throughout the classroom
"So, did everyone have a good weekend?" I asked
Most kids said yes, with the occasional no's around the classroom too.
"Well, I did too." I started, "I bet that----" my voice drifted away to see Principal Turner at the door.
"Mr. Scott?" he said, coming inside. "You have a visitor."
Nathan walked in behind him. I hadn't seen him in such a long time.
"Nathan?" I asked surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"I decided to come and visit." he said
"Come on in." I offered, and Nathan stepped inside as Principal Turner left.
"Class, this is my brother, Nathan Scott." I told them
"Aren't you the basketball player?" one kid asked
"Yea. I am." he said
He looked around the classroom, it was his old English class, and it brought back so many memories.
I told the class to talk amongst themselves for a minute and Nathan and I stood in the front of the room and talked quietly.
"Luke?" Nathan asked "Did, does, Haley have a son?" he asked me stumbling on his words
"Why?" I asked him
"Well, there was a little boy at the River Court before school today, and he said his last name was James." he told me
Uh-oh I thought. This isn't good.
"Listen, Haley is off today, so why don't you go talk to her?" I offered "And we can talk later"
"That's the thing. I don't know if I am ready to talk to Haley just yet."
"Nathan, you need too. She misses you so much, though she'll never admit it. Just talk to her." I told him
And with that he left, hopefully to talk to the love of his life.
