Hey! Thanks for the review justawriter! You review all my fanfics and I love ya for it! Now, please enjoy...chapter 4!

Peyton woke up early the next morning. She rolled over and looked over Jenny to see the clock. 7: 23. Great. Jake was still asleep beside her, as with Jenny. She loved these little Kodak moments.

After a few moments, Jake groaned and opened his eyes. As soon as he saw her, he smiled. "Hey beautiful." He said holding her close. "Hey gorgeous." Peyton replied, kissing him briefly. They smiled at each other until Jake spoke up.

"What time should we head out? We still have twelve more hours to drive." Peyton closed her eyes and groaned and Jake smiled. "Well, we need to eat breakfast...and then we can go, Mr. Jagielski." Jake smiled. "Sounds like a plan Mrs. Jagielski." He answered and Peyton giggled.

Several hours later, they were passing there way through small towns. Peyton clutching Jake's hand. She decided to call Brooke, to see how she was doing.

"Hey Brooke!"

"Hey P. Sawyer! What's up?"

"Well...in short version, I'm engaged, I'm on my way back to Tree Hill, and I'm Jenny's mom...again."

"Awww. Yay P. Sawyer I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks. How are you?"

"Oh...fat, gimpy...Where are you now?"

"Um...some little town called Caledonia. We'll be in Tree Hill in about 5 hours."

"K. Bye P. Sawyer can't wait to see you!"

"Bye B. Davis!"

Brooke smiled as she hung up the phone. As just as soon as she did, it started to ring again. It read, Lucas. And she smiled.

"Hey boyfriend!" She said cheerily.

"Hey Brooke." Karen answered.

"Oh, Karen. Hi."

"Hey. Listen...I know about this whole thing...and I was wondering if that you maybe wanted to move in with us. If your parents agree that is."

"Really? Karen that's awesome thank you! And yeah I will ask!"

"No problem Brooke."

Brooke hung up and smiled. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad after all.

After many more hours, Peyton and Jake arrived in Tree Hill. Jenny was making some funny sounds in the back and Peyton smiled at her. "Mama! Mama!" She called with her arms wide open. Peyton smiled and picked her up. She didn't know how much that touched Jake's heart when Jenny called her mama.

Jake got their bags and Peyton had Jenny as they walked into Peyton's old house. They cautiously walked into Peyton's old room and Jake smiled. Her sketches seemed like they had halos around them. But one particular sketch stood out.

He placed the bags on her old bed and looked at it. It was him. Him and Jenny at the pier on the day he left her. Above it read the words from YellowCard's "Empty Apartment."

Waking up, from this nightmare.

How's your life?

What's it like there?

Is it all that you want it to be?

Does it hurt when you think about me?

"Peyton..." Jake said as Peyton placed Jenny on the floor. Peyton looked up and saw what he was staring at and smiled. He walked over to her and smiled. "I love you." He said embracing her tightly. "I love you, too." She whispered.

Brooke stood in her closet trying to figure out what to wear. Most of her clothes had been feeling too tight lately, and she hated it. She just wanted to be normal again.

"God I am so fat!" She harshly whispered to herself. "No your not." Jake answered from the doorway, with Peyton by his side. "Jagielski's!" Brooke said running over to them. She hugged Jake and he smiled.

"P. Sawyer!" She said hugging Peyton tightly. "How was your road trip?" Peyton and Jake both smiled. "Oh my god...did you..." "Brooke!" They both said aloud and she smiled.

"Well, you gonna stand their Jagielski's or are you gonna help me with my clothes!?"

Several hours later, Peyton and Jake were again home alone. They were comfortably watching TV on the couch when the phone rang.

"Hello?" Peyton said.

"Hey P. Sawyer guess what?"

"What!"

"Lucas book is gonna be published!"

"What! Brooke that's amazing!"

"I know! We'll, I gotta go but I'll talk to you later k?"

"K. Bye B. Davis!"

"Who was that?" Jake asked. "That was Brooke Lucas's book is gonna be published! Yay! I knew he could do it!" Jake sat their in silence and looked at her. "What's up? Why aren't you excited?" Peyton asked. "It just seems like every time Lucas's name comes into the conversation you get really happy."

"What are you talking about?" Peyton said standing up. "The reason I'm happy for Lucas is that things are finally getting good for him! And he deserves to be happy after everything he's done for me." Jake shook his head, standing up as well. "Everything he's done?" He asked, his voice rising. "Yeah! He was there for me in the good times and bad, unlike somebody I know."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jake asked sternly. "You've been away for a while now Jake! And he was there for me! Where were you when my life was spiraling out of control and I used cocaine to forget about it? Where were you when my second mom died? Where were you when I was bleeding to death in that library?! Where were you?!" Peyton asked, now having tears run down her face.

Jake stood their speechless as Peyton continued. "Lucas was there for me Jake, and he always will be. But he's with Brooke, and he loves her. And I do not love Lucas! I love you! So why do you keep pushing me away?!" Peyton screamed as she ran up the stairs and slammed her door behind her.
