Author's Note- New chapter! It has been turned into a future fic


Chapter 5-

It had been five years since Lucas left Tree Hill. Brooke had still not read the letter Lucas left for her but she still had it. She took it with her everywhere she went. She now lived in New York City working for Vogue magazine. Lucas moved to Chicago after two years in New York. Peyton was in Savannah with Jake and Jenny. They were happily married is what they told everyone. Nathan, Haley, and James were still in Tree Hill and Haley was expecting another baby.

Brooke was walking through the streets of New York one day and bumped into someone.

"Sorry," she said still walking.

"Brooke?" a familiar voice said. Brooke turned around to see an old face from her hometown.

"Uncle Keith?" Brooke asked hugging him.

"How are you doing Brooke?"

"Good, I guess. I'm on my way to work."

"Oh, what do you do?"

"I am an intern at Vogue."

"Congratulations."

"Thanks. How are Karen and Lucas? I haven't seen them in like forever."

"Karen is fine and Lucas is great. He is publishing his first book."

"Good for him."

"Yea, well I'll see you around."

"Bye," Brooke said turning away and continuing her walk to work. She always had thought about calling Lucas, just to see how he is. She still felt terrible about what she had said to him five years ago.

"Brooke, you're late!" Mia said as she walked out of the elevator. Mia was her assistant and now a very good friend. She was the first person that Brooke felt comfortable with. Mia was also new in the city and knew how it felt to not know anyone.

"I know Mia. I saw an old friend and stopped to talk."

"Brooke, the meeting is today."

"Yea, in fifteen minutes, it's ok."

"Brooke, you know I'm paranoid."

"Yea I know Mia," Brooke said as they shared a laugh.

"Ok, then we should go," Mia said trying to rush her.

"I'm coming."

Lucas was walking the streets of Chicago when he suddenly received a phone call.

"Keith? What's up?"

"You will never guess who I saw today."

"Who did you see?"

"Brooke. She asked about you."

"Really, wow I haven't spoken to her since I left Tree Hill."

"That's what she said, but you know in Brooke language."

"Yea," Lucas said laughing.

"I just wanted to let you know."

"Thanks," Lucas said hanging up his cell phone. He had a call to make.

"Haley? It's Lucas."

"Lucas! What's up?"

"Do you still talk to Brooke?"

"Yea, we keep in touch over the phone."

"Good, can you give me her phone number?"

Lucas was going to make everything right with Brooke. They didn't have to date, they could be just friends. It wasn't what he wanted but it was whatever made her happy.

"Hey Brooke, how are you doing?" Haley asked. She could never get a hold of Brooke. She was always too busy with work, shopping, or her boyfriend.

"I'm doing fine, how are you, Nathan, and James?"

"Great. I called for two things."

"Ok, shoot."

"First, James is turning 5 in a few days and we are going to have a party for him. If you can, come for it. Second, have you talked to Lucas?"

"No, but I just saw Keith earlier today."

"Lucas wanted your number and I gave it to him. I hope that was ok."

"No, it's fine."

"Ok, call me if you can come to the party."

"I can come. I'll be around in two days. Is it ok if I bring someone with me?"

"It's fine."

"Bye Hales."

"Bye."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Brooke was looking through her drawers for a week worth of clothes for Tree Hill. She wasn't only going for James' party, but for the week. Just to catch up with people and her old town. She wondered if Peyton was going to be there with Jake and Jenny or if Lucas was going to be there with anyone. He probably had a girlfriend.

"Hey baby," Chase said putting his arms around her waist and kissing her neck.

"Chase, we are going to Tree Hill for a party for little James."

"We are? When?"

"Tomorrow," Brooke said continuing what she was doing.

"Do I have to go?" Chase asked falling onto their bed.

"Yes, you do. It'll be great! We'll see our old friends and we'll have a good time."

"We'll see Lucas."

"So, that is in the past."

"Brooke, it's a bad idea."

"Why would you say that?"

"Because old feelings might come back."

"I only have those kinds of feelings for you," Brooke said landing on him and kissing his neck."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Hey," Peyton said walking into her and Jake's kitchen.

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"Sick."

"Hi mommy and daddy," Jenny said walking into the kitchen.

"Hey baby," Jake said bending down and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"What do you want for breakfast?" a very miserable Peyton asked.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Mommy's a little cranky. Peyton go to bed."

"Jake, I'm fine. Leave me alone you ass!"

"Jenny, can you go to your room to wait for breakfast?"

"Ok," the toddler said walking away.

"Why do you do that? You can't wait until my daughter leaves the room before you scream at me?"

"Your daughter! I adopted her!"

"You don't act very motherly toward her. I don't like the way you treat her."

"Deal with it."

"Excuse me, we're leaving."

"What?"

"I'm taking Jenny away from you."

"I didn't mean it Jake," Peyton said tears forming in her eyes.

"Whatever," Jake said walking into his daughter's room and packing their stuff.

"Don't go, please."

"Peyton, I've had enough of you. We'll be back when I think you're ready for my daughter."
