A few months passed and Brooke had gotten no where on her new clothing line. She was now eight months pregnant and the twins coudl arrive at any time.
Since the whole Peyton incident Lilly, Jacob and October had all gotten really close. Lilly spent more weekends with October. When October's friends weren't keeping her occupied she would sit with Brooke while she worked and "doodle" as she liked to call it. Brooke always had to smile as she watched October work. She could see herself in October when she worked and she noticed how happy October seemed whenever she was sketching clothes.
"Your'e not bad you know," Brooke said peaking at a dress October was working on.
"Riiiight," October sarcasitcly replied, "Oh, Lilly's spending the night by the way."
"I figured so," Brooke smiled.
"Youre life in a shoe box final project is due this monday, have you two finished them?" Lucas asked.
"My god it sucks having a brother for your teacher, it's highly unfair. This is a sleepover, it's supposed to be fun." Lilly said sticking her tongue out.
"Let's go work on them together?" October asked
"Sounds good," Lilly sighed, "Then Lucas will leave us alone for about five seconds!"
"Haha Lilly," Lucas said.
"Watch we will be the only two who did it," Lilly laughed.
"No, actually, James is on his way over after Haley found te project not even started in his backpack. He forgot about it," Lucas replied,"So the three of you will have to do it together."
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Llly asked, "Now we have to babysit James too?"
Half and hour later Lilly, October and James were all sitting in October room talking about the project.
"Friends first?" Lilly asked.
"Guess so," James said staring at his blank paper, "Are you guys going to put me on it?"
"You're family," October answered.
"So?" James asked, "I'm putting you guys as my friends."
"Why?" October asked.
"Well, Lilly and I eat lunch together everyday. We always hang out at family things. We talk in the hallways." James thought outloud.
"And why would October be your friend?" Lilly giggled.
"She's like one of the coolest girls in school. Everyone talks about her. It'd be cool to have her as my friend because no one else besides you can really say that." James exclamied.
"Since when am I cool?" October asked.
"Since you got here," James replied.
"That was gossip," October shot back.
"And why would people gossip about lame people. They aren't very exciting. Plus you were a cheerleader, on the soccer team, you got shot...you're cool dude accept it. Why else would that Jacob kid be so stoked that you talk to him and he runs around saying you guys hung out and people actually have started being nicer to the little guy," James said back.
"I don't get it," October laughed, "But yes we can be friends James."
"It's kinda funny, we are repeating our parents highschool patterns," James smiled.
"What do you mean?" Lilly asked.
"Not you," James said quickly, "October's mom and my dad were friends. Brooke's best friends were Peyton and my mom. Lilly would be like the non scary Peyton best friend and you should be friends withmy girlfriend! Plus October's friends with Jacob who's Brooke's old friend Mouth's son. We just need a Lucas. Date someone cool October."
"You've thought about this a lot haven't you?" Lilly smirked.
"It's neat okay," James laughed.
"Who's your girlfriend, and please don't say Kkenzie. Not going to happen," October laughed.
"No, her name is Scarlette. I think yo'd like her. She reads like you a lot and is kinda quite like you." James said looking extremley happy.
"Uh oh, James Lucas Scott is in loooooove," Lilly cracked up.
"She sounds great James, maybe all of us should have lunch together on Monday? I'll invite Jacob and I'll work on finding the Lucas," October smiled.
"Sweet," James said before highfiving both Lilly and October.
Two hours later the three friends/family members finished their projects.
October's life in a shoe box:
~Friends~
Lilly is like by big sister, auntie and best friend all rolled up into one. She teaches me about all about Tree Hill and let's me in on the secrets of my family's past. She helps me do my homework when I can't get anywhere with it and I give her gum. We love eachother like crazy. Shei s there for me when I want a slush or sushi after school. She's there for me during my blonde moments where I even shock myself, and when James is being annoying in English class. She's eventhere through those damn doughtnut craving we both seem to get. She has my complete trust, which is a hard thing to get from me and she never breaks out promises. She always listens to my opinions and doesn't make everything about her. She let's me speak my mind even though that's a scary place. She doesn't always judge me like most people do which makes me more comfortable around her and I can completley be myself without pretendng to be what other people want to see. I know she will be there no matter what and I hope she knows I'll be there no matter what for her. I always feel more confident around her and I feel more brave as if I could do anything, probably just because I know she loves me and even if I screwed up she would still love me. I hope she knows that I'd love her no matter what even if she screwed up real bad. Whenever I'm scared or feeling sad I always talk to my Lilly and I'm as happy as ever within minutes. We will be there for each other to talk all the time, have oreos and milk whenever we are sad and to share our deepest darkest or hilarious secrets. She should never change and I hope she never will because without her it would be like living without my legs.
James is making me be his friend. Though we haven't hung out all that often he seems like a really great guy. We have the same sense of humor so he always cracks me up. He's trying really hard for us all to get along because he thinks we are the next generation of our parents. I don't see it. All of our parents have turned into something great. My dad is a writer and teacher, my mom's a fashion designer, James mom is a singer and works at the elementary school, James dad was in the NBA and now coaches the Charlotte bobcats, Lilly's mom has two successful buisnesses and her dad was an amazing person who gave up his life to try and save someone else. I don't see myself ever being as great as any of them but James see's it for some reason. He is determined we are all going to be amazing like our parents. I guess I'll just have to see.
Jacob is in grade 8. He is two years younger than me but he's great. We've both been working in the media room together editing clips for the school website. It's been really interesting. Maybe I'll work in movies when I'm older and Jacob and I can run our own production buisness. Maybe that'd be good enough for James! Jacob is really sweet and very shy. My mom says he sounds a lot like his father, who also seems very nice. I have a feeling Jacob and I are going to be friends for life. We have so much in common, since he grew up without a mother, and our common interest in sports without having the baility to actually play them. Even when we are sitting in silent we get what the other is thinking and work so well together. We are a good team.
~Family~
My family is confusing. I have a mom, Brooke Penelope Davis, and a dad Lucas Eugene (Thanks for sharing Lilly!) Scott, and two baby siblings on the way, whom I get to name! I already have the names picked out, but I'm keeping them a secret until the twins get here. I have an aunt Lilly, who is also my best friend. I have my grandmother Karen, who I love very much, and my other grandma Victoria, who I could really live without. My grandpa Dan is a murderer, and he killed Lilly's dad Keith. I have an uncle Nathan, my dad's brother. He is married to Haley, and they have two kids name James and Isabelle.
~Pets and boyfriends~
I've never had a pet and I've only dated Jamie, who was a tool.
~Dreams~
When I'm older, and I could have anything I'd start out as a movvie producer and director and then move in acting. Once I reached fame I'd open my own clothing line like my mom and run that on the side. I'd also be the cover girl for at leasto ne of Lill'y magazine issues. I'd like to meet a boy and fall in love for real, and have kids. I'd also like to be able to stay close to my soon to be siblings through allo f this. Because of our age difference this might be hard, but I'll work on it the best I can. I'd also prefer little brothers, instead of sisters, I know it's selfish but I want to be my dad's only girl. They already get to have him for their hwole lives. I want to be his girl.
Lilly's life in a shoe box:
~Friends~
This girl, October,pretty much means the world to me. She is one of the few people I would die for. I am going to try and put as many of our memories on here as I can. Just to show how boreing our lives would be without eachother! We are totally cool enoughto be able to sing the FRIENDS theme song together We both slapped Kenzie on the same day at cheer practise. She was on accident during the routine and mine may have been a little bit on purpose. Overall, October is one of the best people I've met in my life and I can't imagine life without her now. We'll always be there for eachother, no matter what. I'm proud to not only call her my best friend but also my neice.
James is my other best friend. He's a bit of a dorky jock, but once you get to know him he has an amazing personality. He's got a great sense of humor and really cares baout the people in his life. He tries to be like his father a little too much at times, but he just wants to make his dad proud. He's always good for a laugh, and is a really great friend and sort of nephew to have.
~Family~
My mom is Karen. My dad was Keith Scott. My brother is Lucas Scott. Lucas' dad killed my dad. Lucas has a girlfriend Brooke and they will soon have three kids. Lucas has a half- brother Nathan. I'm pretty sure you know the rest Lucas. I love how I always get to half explain things because you aready know my life! This actually works out sometimes!
~Pets and boyfriends~
I had a pet goldfish once, his name was Fred, my brother Lucas named him and bought him for me. I have had a couple boyfriend but they didn't even last a month, I haven't found someone that I really care about yet.
~Dreams~
I want to be a magazine editor or even have my own magazine. It would be like the Seventeen magazines, but with more involvemnt from the readers. For example, I'd have the readers send in articles they've written, brands they like and dont like, styles they are into, and photos of their own outfits. I'd like it to be a teen magazine but about real teens. I'd also like to one day get married and have two kids. I'd like to live here in Tree Hill because I don't want to leave my omo here alone. Sure she'd have Llucas and whatnot but it's always been her and myself.
James' life in a shoebox
~Friends~
First I'd like to say the title of this project makes it sound like I like in a shoebox. I'm just saying!
Riley is probaly my best guy friend. Hhe's a lot quiter than me. He thinks a lot, and reads a lot. He writes a lot to I guess. He's on the Tree Hill ravens with me. I want him to go out with October. Please don't fail me Uncle Luke, but he is a great guy. He reminds me of October and I think they'd get along really well, and I'll make sure they wear a condom so they don't have a little baby October.
October reminds me a lot of how my mom Haley describes Brooke. She looks identical to the old pictures of her mom. Most people see my Uncle Lucas in her personality but I can tell there's a lot of her mother in there too, she just spent so much time trying ot be grown up because it was only her mom and herself, she doesn't really let it out. I'm hoping I can help her break out of her shell a bit. Other than that, October is already great. She laughs at all my jokes and is willing to do things most girl wouldn't. And not in a gross way! She's coming down to the river court and helping me practise basketball. Most girls wouldn't be caught getting all gross on a beaten up old court but she seemed excited too. I love her. In a cousin way of course.
Lilly is a jerk to me sometimes but I can tell she's just joking. We've always be together since we were babies because we are so close in age and in the same family. We treat eachother as brother and sister and I'll always have her back.
~Family~
My main family is my mom, dad and little sister. We have abig messed up family tree, so I'll keep it at that!
~Pets and girlfriends~
I had a bunny named Chester when I was younger but he passed away when I was eleven. I may have cried, a lot. My girlfriends name is Scarlette and I lover her. I've dated plenty of other girls but this feels real and we both accept eachother for who we are and I couldn't be happier with her.
~Dreams~
I want to play in the NBA like my father, but if that doesn't work out I'd like to either be a coach or open my own sports store. I'd like to have a family someday I guess to. I'd also like my current extened family to be closer. I also hope that my little sister Isabelle handles herself as good as she can. I won't be around here while she's in highschool if my other dreams come true, and I want her to always be safe and okay.
After reading eachother's the three teenagers walked down to the living to find Lucas running around like a chicken with his head cut off.
"What's going on Uncle Luke?" James asked.
"Babies!" Lucas shouted.
"Excuse me?" Lilly asked.
"Brooke, babies, they're coming and I'm panicking!"
"Oh! Where's mom?" October asked.
"Grabbing her things," Lucas said looking around.
"And what are you looking for?" Lilly asked.
"She said to grab her purse. Which purse? And where?" Lucas said.
"Look beside ya big guy," James laughed.
"Holy crap, why is this so terifying?" Lucas asked.
"Because you're going to be a dad," October laughed.
"I'm already you're dad," Lucas sighed.
"But this is your first time becoming a dad for real," October kind of sadly, "You're going to actually have to raise them from the start and its the first time you're going to have to go through so many of the baby things, and lots of firsts as a parent. You're going to be fine. You're an amazing dad. All of you will be fine!"
"Luke, I'm ready to go!" Brooke shouted from the front door.
"Are you coming?" Lucas asked October.
"Hell no, I'll come after mom screamed at you for doing this to her and after all the pain and gore," October smiled smugly.
"Now I'm scared again," Lucs said taking in a deep breath before leaving with Brooke.
"Good luck mom, I love you!" October said from the front door.
"I love you too, you better have your names for the twins ready," Brooke smiled.
"Will you guys stay the night with me?" October asked.
"Of course," James said, "What are you naming the babies?"
"Well I have to know what they are first," October laughed.
"What if it's girls?" Lilly asked.
"Well if it's girls I was thinking Leighton October Scott, after me and the street my mom used to live on since it's where we had our life together, and Addison Lilly Scott, because mom likes the name Addison and after you of course Lilly." October said.
"Aaw you'd name your sister after me that's so sweet!" Lilly exclaimed.
"Will you name abrother after me?" James asked.
"For boys I have Rhys Logan...fine James. Rhys Logan JAMES Scott. Happy? And Brady Nathan Keith Scott. Do you like them?" October asked.
"All of them are really nice," Lilly replied.
"What if it's boy girl?" James aked.
"You pick girl and Lilly will pick boy," October suggested.
"Addison Lilly," James said right away.
"Brady Nathan Keith Scott, I know it'd mean a lot to my mom..." Lilly said.
"Perfect," October smiled, "I would've picked those ones too, now we just have to see if we have a Leighton, an Addison, a Rhys or a Brady."
