Hey Hey Heeeey my awesome reviewers and readers...
I'm in one happy mood because I have written a whole chapter on my brand new laptop... Yes that's right I have my laptop now... It's gorgeous and pink and its touch screen and I'm utterly in love with it right now!
Anyway I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween yesterday. My night was full of horror films and popcorn.
Anyway now I have my laptop expect chapters on a regular basis.
So here is Chapter 6... ENJOY!
I walk around the living room tidying up Miley's toys when Lucas walks in. He walks over to kiss me, but I move from him and pick up a dolly and place it in her toy box.
"So your still mad at me then?" Lucas states, but it comes out like a question which I don't answer.
Once I've filled the toy box back up I lift it and go to put it back behind the door "Brooke you shouldn't lift that; I'm sure it's really heavy" Lucas steps towards me to take the box from me, but I dodge him once again and place it behind the door "How long you going to silent treat me Brooke it's been 3 days?" I still don't say anything and walk out of the room and into the den by the back door "Pretty Girl please talk to me"
I stand up from the couch in the den and turn to him. Anger evident on my face "And what do you want me to actually say Luke?" I snap at him
"I don't know" He shrugs "I just want you to talk to me"
"Yeah and I want you to stop keeping secrets from me, but looks like neither one of us is going to get what we want anytime soon huh?" And with that I walk out and upstairs to the bedroom hoping Miley would wake up soon.

It's been 3 days since Peyton approached Lucas and Nathan and she was running out of time. She got another anonymous letter with a change of date which relaxed her a little.
She now had 4 weeks before he was coming for her. She had just enough time to make peace with them all and leave Tree Hill for good. So she agreed to metre Lucas today in town without Brooke or Haley knowing and she was hoping that Lucas would make Brooke see sense and then Brooke could make Haley and Nathan see sense then maybe everything will be fine again.
"So I'm meeting him in an hour" Peyton tells Jake taking a sip of her water
"Well that's a start" Jake replies "Now you just got to make him listen and then hoping the others will too"
"This is like my last chance Jake otherwise I'm coming back" Peyton states
"Yeah I know Peyt, I just hope for your sake and theirs that they listen to you. His coming and I'm scared of what he'll do"
"Yeah I know me too" Peyton looks up at the clock "Anyway Jake I have to go, but I'll call you later with an update okay"
"Okay and please be careful Sawyer. I worry about you" She could hear the worry and fear in his voice which broke her heart because she cared about him too
"I will I promise. Bye Jake"
And she hung up getting ready to meet Lucas.

Before Peyton goes to meet Lucas she decided to quickly go to the grocery store to get something for tomorrows breakfast. She's walking down the aisle when someone bumps into her. Her basket drops from her hands and the packet of bacon she had fell out.
"Oh god I'm so sorry" The other person says stopping to help Peyton with her basket "Here let me" He bent down and picked up the bacon putting it in the basket and handing it to her.
"Julian?" Peyton questions; her eye brow raising. The guy looked up and smiled at Peyton
"Peyton hi"
"OMG what you doing in Tree Hill?" Peyton puts the basket on her arm and picks up some eggs placing them in the basket too.
"Oh I moved here a few weeks ago. Job offer" He answers putting some eggs into the trolley he was pushing "So your back in Tree Hill too then?"
"Yeah, but I'm not staying... I'm only here to clear the air with some people I missed a lot" Peyton responds "I think after I'm done I'm going to go back to California"
"Oh okay cool" Julian mutters back "Oh erm... while we're both in the same state fancy meeting up for some dinner tonight?"
"Erm... yeah sure. I'm meeting a friend at Barry's diner, but after I'm done there we could meet in like an hour or something" Peyton offers
"Yeah okay sure" Julian smiles "So I'll see you then Sawyer"
"Sure thing" Peyton nods turning and walking down the rest if the aisle and out of sight.

"Well it was either Lucas or me" Haley states putting Kadence in her high chair so she could wash the dishes from lunch "Having the cafe I mean"
"You would have taken the offer?"Nathan asked sitting beside Kadence on a stool
"Of course" Haley nods turning on the hot water and filling up the sink "Why don't you think I should if I did?"
"No it's not that... I would just feel weird running Karen's family business. I know we're all family in some way, but it should be Lucas who takes over" Nathan shrugs playing with Kadence "I don't mean that you wouldn't be kick ass as running the cafe or anything I just think Lucas should be the one to do it"
"Well good thing Brooke made him call his Mom then huh?" Haley turns around and smiles at her husband "And I think your right... Even though I consider Karen as my second Mom Lucas is the better person to run the family business"
"So quick questions Hales"
"Hmm?"
"You haven't heard from Peyton, have you?"
Haley freezes for a moment then turns back to Nathan "Why?" She questions back "Have you?"
"No I haven't I've seen her around town though" And that was partly the truth.
"Oh right okay" Haley turns back to the dishes "Changing the subject back to the cafe I was thinking about asking Brooke and Lucas if they want partners because I love that cafe and I don't know maybe it could be fun owning half or at least quarter of something"
"That's actually not a bad idea" Nathan agrees giving Kadence a quaver crisp her had just opened "My gorgeous wife is just full of surprises huh Kadie" Kadie giggled nodding her head "Even our also gorgeous daughter agrees" Nathan laughs kissing Kadence's cheek.

"Brooke... Pretty Girl I'm going out for an hour or two. Nathan called so I'm going to meet him okay" Lucas says knocking on the bedroom door. Miley had woken up about 2 hours ago so I made her a bottle and stayed in my room with her. 4
"Whatever Lucas" I reply giving Miley her dolly watching her play making an instant smile appear on my face "It seems like you do your own thing anyway so why even tell me your going out... I'm just your girlfriend and mother of your kid right?"
"Brooke... i explained that" He sighs
I pick Miley up and stalk to the door swinging it open in anger "You just don't get it do you Lucas" I walk pass him and down to the living room putting Miley down and turning on her cartoons.
"Well at least your talking to me know... That's a start" Lucas uttered standing in the door of the living room.
I fold my arms across my chest "Don't test me Lucas because I swear I'll walk out of here right now" I threaten with seriousness in my tone.
"Okay Brooke I'm sorry" Lucas walks towards me and his boyish walk and the look on his face makes my demeanour change. I could literally feel my whole body become calm and the anger I once felt slowly faded away "I know I should have talked to you about the cafe and I really do understand why your mad at me, but I really thought I was doing something nice for you. I didn't want you to miss out on more of your life because we had to stay here"
"Lucas..." I uncross my arms and let them fall to my side. the anger fully gone I felt more content "I just want you to talk to me about this kind of stuff. I realise you were trying to do something nice for me and I appreciate that I really do, but we're meant to be in a relationship which means we make these decisions together" Lucas stops in front of me and snakes his arms around my waist bringing me closer to him.
"I'm sorry Pretty Girl" He leans in and kisses me softly on the lips.
"And I forgive you Luke" I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him close to me "Anyway shouldn't you be going"
"Oh right yeah. I'll see you girls later" He kissed me once more before going to Miley and placing a kiss on the top of her head "And you Princess be good for Mommy" Miley looked up at him and giggled holding her dolly close to her. Lucas then smiled at me and left.
I slumped myself down on the couch and watched some cartoons with Miley.

Julian sat in his car outside of Barry's diner which located just outside of Tree Hill. With his camera in hand he snapped pictures from his car with a sneaky smile on his face. Lucas was sat in the diner at a table with Peyton sitting opposite him. they were engrossed in a serious conversation. then Julian's phone began to ring.
He answered on the third ring...
"Hi sir" Julian muttered putting his camera beside him and pulling out a cigarette from the nearly empty box.
"Julian plans have changed. I won't be in town for at least 4 weeks more weeks 5-6 at most" The guy states "Something's come up as you know, but I want you to stay to your part of the deal. follow them all and make as much trouble as you can... When I come back I'll finish it once and for all"
"I understand boss" Julian lights the cigarette and puts it to his lips "I have the pictures that will put doubt in Brooke's head"
"Good job Julian" The guy appraised "Maybe you'll come through after all"
"That's what I do boss. I do my job and I get paid" Julian replies flicking some ash to the floor "So I'll see you in 6 weeks boss"
"Yes you will Julian and so will everyone else... 6 weeks at most" The voice responded with a small snigger "Well I have to go Julian, but keep up the good job and you just might get a bonus"
"I'll keep you updated boss" And with that Julian hung up placing his phone back on the dash board. he picked up his camera and took a few more pictures before he put his car into drive and drove off.
Secrets and lies are never good and we all know that right? Well Lucas should know that too, but I guess he hasn't learnt from his past mistakes.
How will Brooke react when she finds out about Lucas and Peyton's secret meeting?
Why didn't Nathan just tell Haley about Peyton being at the river court with them?4
And why haven't Brooke or Haley told the guys about the confrontations they've had with Peyton?
So many secrets being kept and so many lies being told... What will happen next?
