Hey beautiful people...
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend... Mine was great. Awesome New Touch Screen Laptop! Love getting your reviews because I just love seeing your reactions to the chapters and I'm grateful so many of you are reading and reviewing and I love you all.
So I was sitting here thinking why not update a new chapter for my wonderful fans... So ENJOY!
"Honey I'm home" Lucas calls out as he walks in through the front door and shuts it behind him.
"We're in the kitchen" I shout back opening and shutting the cupboard doors looking for my cutting board "Miley sweetie please don't do that. Mommy just cleaned there"
"How are my two favourite girls doing?" Lucas walks round the island and kisses the side of my head then does the same to Miley
"We're good thanks" I reply finally finding the cutting board and putting it on the counter placing the tomatoes on the board "Aren't we Princess?" I coo to Miley. Miley giggles sucking on her fingers.
"Something smells amazing Brooke" Lucas comments walking over to the pot boiling on the stove "I didn't think you could cook"
"I couldn't" I retort back honestly "But since I've woken up my cooking skills have be somewhat good"
"I guess that accident gave you something good then" Lucas smiles at me taking off his jacket.
I smile back at him "Anyway I'm working the morning shift at the cafe tomorrow so you have to get up with Miley okay"
"Okay baby" Lucas sits at the island and starts to entertain Miley.

"I think he believes me Jake" Peyton says getting into her car "I haven't told him about he who blackmailed me. I just told him the truth about us not sleeping together and me and Nathan too and he believed that so I asked him if he could get the others to meet with me and I can tell them all together"
"And what did he say?" Jake asks putting Maddie in her play pen.
"He hesitated for a moment, but I understood why. Brooke and Haley aren't exactly willing to listen to me and Brooke will flip if she knows Lucas and I met up to talk. I know them... They're both stubborn" Peyton explains "But he said he'll try and slip it between conversations and his going to speak to Nathan too"
"Okay so this is good right?"
Peyton puts her bag on the seat beside her starts her engine "Yeah this is a good start to finally get my point across and have them listen to me"
"Good... so what happens now?" Jake questions
"I guess now it's a waiting game" Peyton replies "Lucas said he'll call me with a location of where to meet after everyone has agreed to it. I told him I have 4 weeks and he said he'll try his best... I guess that's all he can do"
"Okay well keep me updated and again be careful Peyton" Jake sits on the couch in his living room
"Always will Jake" Peyton assures him "Well I'm going to. I'll talk to you soon"
"Okay bye Sawyer" And the line went dead. Peyton then put her car into drive and headed for the direction she was meeting Julian.

"Morning Pretty Girl" Lucas says as I walk into the kitchen "Here is your morning coffee with plenty of sugar and here's some toast"
"I never thought I'd get welcomed with breakfast" I smile sitting at the island beside Miley "Morning Princess" I placed a kiss to her cheek hearing her giggle.
"Yeah well I don't want you to go to work hungry" I smile at Lucas taking a sip of my coffee and biting into my toast.
"Well thank you, but I have to go" I stand up and walk around the counter towards Lucas still munching at the toast in my hand.
"Good thing I packed this coffee in a to go mug" Lucas smiled holding up a purple flask
"I have the most awesome boyfriend ever" I kiss him softly on the lips and take the flask from him "Bye baby" He kisses me again before I turn around and walk over to Miley "Bye baby girl, be good for daddy" I kiss her again on the cheek and wave to them as I leave for the cafe.

the bell above the door rang signalling my arrival. Haley was already there serving behind the counter. she looked up just as the door shut behind me and smiled. I smiled back strolling in the direction of the counter. I go around and place my bag under the counter and grab an apron tying it around my waist I was ready for work.
"Hey Tiger" Haley greets knocking her hip into mine
"Hey there Tutor Girl" I reply as a youngish looking boy walked in "Hi and welcome to Karen's cafe what can I get ya?"
"Coffee two sugars and a bagel please" The boy replies and I nod getting his order ready for him.
"Here you go sweetie" He smiled at me "That'll be $4.00 please"
He handed me $10.00 "Keep the change" I smiled back at him and he left.
"Someone's making impressions on the customers" Haley comments as I put the change in my tip jar.
"Well what can I say. the world missed me for a whole year, its about time I take back" Haley laughs shaking her head at me as she walked to the table at the far end to clean the table.

"Sorry for cancelling on you last night Peyt?" Julian says as they sit in the deli on main.
"Oh its fine" She replies with a small shrug
"So how've you been?" He enquires "I mean the last time I saw you, you were with that guy in the park with the little girl"
"Oh you mean Jake" Julian just shrugged looking away from her "Jake and I aren't together, his just a friend. We have a past, but that's all"
"Oh" Was all Julian could say
"Is that why you cancelled on me in California I mean?" Julian nodded which was a lie. he cancelled on Peyton for a whole new reason so he looked away and for that split second he forgot that he had a job to do.
He and Peyton of course met in California only because he had to make it happen since he was sent for a job to do, but something happened... They started to date for 4 months and without Julian thinking he started to fall in love with Peyton and that began to scare him resulting in him cancelling on their plans and vanishing; he was of course still in Cali to follow her, but he never made himself known again, so for him right now it was hard to get close to her again even if he has been instructed to.
"I'm sorry I bailed on you in Cali Peyton" Julian looks back at her reaching out to touch her hand electric flares ran through his body. he was feeling what his felt for the past year and again it started to scare him, but this time he didn't run "But I'm hoping we can hang out while you're still in Tree Hill"
"Yeah that'll be nice" Julian's face formed a smile and he ran his thumb over Peyton's hand "Like old times"
"Exactly" Julian replied and a pang of guilt rushed over him when his mind went back to the job he had to do. How was he going to continue with the job now that his come out of the darkness.

"So what exactly did she say?" Nathan asks putting Kadence down beside Miley. Lucas had put on the little mermaid. one of Miley's favourite Disney films.
"Not much actually" Lucas admits sitting on the couch "She just basically told me that me and you never slept with her and that it was all a big lie and that she wants us all to meet her so she can explain everything"
"And did she say why she filmed whatever it was she filmed?" Nathan questioned. he was confused, but so was Lucas. he just wanted the full story.
"No which has messed up my head because if we never cheated on the girls then why would she lie and let it get so bad" Lucas retorted "I mean they casted her out for god sake and yet it's all her fault. She lied... She lied and even though she kept apologising she could have stopped all of this"
"But she didn't... why?" Nathan asked and Lucas just shrugged his shoulder not knowing anything, but wishing he had "So what about the girls... What do we tell them because I assure you know that neither one of them will be happy about this"
"I know, but do we really have a choice, she said she has 4 weeks... So I need to convince Brooke within 4 weeks and then hopefully Haley will come around too" Lucas tells his brother who wasn't so convinced that the girls will agree to meet with Peyton.
"Well good luck with trying to convince Brooke Luke" Nathan says turning away from Lucas and looking at the TV.

"Excuse me" I heard from behind me. I wiped over the table and put the plates into the wash bowl I was carrying. I turned around and put the cloth into the bowl too with a smile on me "Are you a miss Brooke Davis?" The guy asked politely. He had shabby brown hair with these big green eyes. I give a small nod and raised my eye brow "I have something for you" He dug into his side bag and brought out an envelope. It was quite big with my name imprinted on the top. I took the envelope from him and he gave me an electronic device I had to sign my name on which I did.
"Erm thank you" I smile at him as he nodded and turned around. He was gone.
"What's that Brooke?" Haley asks from behind the counter "Actually wait I got a letter like that this morning" Haley walks around the counter "I didn't have time to open mine yet"
"This is weird" I announce taking a deep breath "Okay I'm gonna open it" I turn the envelope over and slowly open the top. Tipping the envelope a picture falls out and lands on the floor "Really just a damn picture" I huff bending down and picking it up my eyes go wide and my heart drops to my stomach.
"Brooke what is it?" Haley asks, but I don't say anything. I don't get a chance because Haley has taken the picture from me.
"I have to go Hales, but erm... I'll make it up this week I promise" I take the wash bowl into the kitchen and take my apron off and hung it up by the staff door "I'll call you later. I just... I need to get home" I take the picture back from her and placing it in my bag.
"Okay call me" I just nod and speed out the cafe and to my house.
-x-
"Lucas..." I shout walking into the house "Lucas Scott you get your ass out here now before I kick it" I yell walking further into the house.
Lucas emerges around the corner. I walk up to him in a rage and my hand collides to his face making his head turn and his cheek go red. His eyes water by the power behind the slap. My eyes fleered with rage "What the fuck is this?" I ask holding up the picture, he doesn't say anything "I swear to god Lucas you better answer me right now before I fucking take Miley and walk out of here and never come back"
"Brooke that's not what it looks like" Lucas says and my hand slowly lowers.
"OMG" I whisper to myself. I slowly start to back away from him before turning fully and heading up the stairs to Miley's room "I'm Brooke fucking Davis... I don't deserve this bullshit" I mutter to myself as I walk I to Miley's room. I grab a bag from her closet and start to pack.
"Brooke what you... What you doing?" Lucas asks from behind me. I don't answer I just keep packing "Brooke..." He pulls at my arm to stop me "What you doing?"
"You cheated on me Lucas" I blurt out "And I broke up with you, but I loved you too much to leave you and here I am after my accident... I'm still here because I still love you Lucas, but yet you want to throw that and everything else in my face and cheat on me again with the same girl... With her"
"Brooke... baby it isn't like that" Lucas states "If you let me explain..."
"You didn't even tell me she was back Luke" I take a deep breath and go back to packing the bag.
"No Brooke please just stop okay" I shut my eyes and take another deep breath a few tears rolling down my cheeks "Please just listen to me okay"
"No Lucas I won't listen... I just... I need to be alone for a moment" I tell him as I lean up on the chair and sit on it. Without saying another word Lucas exited the room and I heard a door from down the hall shut close.
So Brooke knows about Lucas and Peyton's secret meeting.
Lucas has to try and convince Brooke to meet with Peyton, will that work now?
How will Haley take the news once she opens her envelope?
