Episode 1 Chapter 3 Life Happens
Peyton is still at the studio trying to figure out what she can do. She picks up her phone.
"Hello," Jamie stands on the other end.
"I need you to make another record."
"Peyton I already told you I can't. I have a lot going on right now. I'm sorry."
"But Jamie…"
"You can just take me off the label. I'm sorry, but music isn't my first priority anymore."
"Jamie I might lose the company."
"You'll figure out something Aunt Peyton…I'm sorry I've got to go….Talk to you later." He hangs up the phone.
"Ah," Peyton sighed. She didn't know what she was going to do.
Mia and Jake walk into the studio.
"Jake…do you still sing?" Peyton asked him. She remembered that he used to sing for her when they were together.
"Only to Mia," he smiled as he kissed her cheek.
"Well I need you to start singing for Red Bedroom Records. I am going to sign you to label."
"Peyton…"
"Actually I am going to sign both of you together as a duet."
"What?" Mia and Jake were both shocked.
"The two of you are cute together, and in the music business cute sells…and I need anything that will sell."
Mia and Jake didn't know what to say.
….
Jamie is making dinner for Summer.
His phone rings, and he sees that it is Breanne.
"Hello," he answers.
"Hi sweetie…Carter and I were just wondering if you were coming over tonight….we're making dinner."
"Oh," Jamie made a face. "I'm sorry Breanne but Summer is on bed rest, and I'm taking care of her and Drew. I'll stop by when I get done here I promise."
"Okay…I'll see you then." She hung up the phone. He was always taking care of Summer, and she was sick of it.
….
Noah opens the door and Daniel walks in. "Hey brother….thanks for coming."
"No problem Noah."
Elizabeth walks out of the bedroom. "What are you doing here?"
"I told you that I wanted to take my beautiful wife out to dinner, and Daniel is going to babysit."
"But I…"
"I know, but I really want to go out with you. Emma will be fine with her Uncle Dan Dan." Noah kisses her cheek. "Please…"
"Fine…I'll go get dressed."
Noah picks up Emma and hands her to Daniel.
"Alright baby girl have fun with Uncle Dan Dan."
"Lub Dan Dan…." Emma gives him a kiss.
"I love you too sweet angel."
Elizabeth watched as they interacted. She sighed and walked off.
…..
Jacey walks into her house. "Hey honey," she gives Keith a kiss.
"Where were you?"
"Over at my dad's."
"I thought we were going over there tonight."
"We are, but I wanted to see him before. I know that he misses Rebecca and his kids. Maybe he should go back to his kids."
"You are his kid."
"Yeah but so are they. Maybe I could talk to Rebecca. Maybe I could convince her to move to Tree Hill."
"You need to mind your own business Jace….Mouth and Rebecca will work it out if they want too, but you can't force them to do what they don't want to do."
Jacey sighed. "They are meant to be together, and I'm going to make sure that happens."
…
Brooke and Nathan are walking in the streets of Savannah. "How did I get so lucky?" Brooke asked herself.
"I ask myself that question all the time." Nathan kissed her cheek. "I love you so much Brooke Davis Scott."
"I love you too…And I am so happy that we are together…I never want to be without you again."
"I'm never going to leave you, and I'm never going to let you leave me again." He leans in and kisses her.
….
Ellie and McKenzie are sitting on the couch watching Pretty Woman. "I love this movie, but Riley never wants to watch it with me. Actually all Riley ever wants to do is have sex."
"Oh…"
"Yeah…I mean the sex is great, but I liked it when we actually did other things."
"So the sex is good?"
"Oh God it is so good. How is it with you and Mark?"
"We're not having sex. We are both the poster children of abstinence. I mean we both are teenage parents."
"Just because you got pregnant once doesn't mean that you are going to get pregnant again." Ellie smiled. "I think that sex is needed in a relationship. Haven't you thought about sleeping with him?"
"Of course, and I even said something to Mark, but he wants to wait until marriage."
"Seriously…Is he a teenage guy?"
"He's a teenage father…I understand but I don't know….I want to be intimate with him…I love him."
"Well I'm sure he loves you too."
"Yeah…we've just never told each other…Mark likes to take things slow."
"Well maybe he just needs a push. I can take you to get something sexy."
"Do you think that will work?"
"Hell yeah it is going to work…You are super sexy…Mark won't be able to resist."
McKenzie smiled. She was definitely ready to have sex with Mark, and she also wanted to tell him that she loved him.
…
"Alright here's a beer…" Jason passes them around.
"I don't think I should." Hunter declines.
"Oh come on man…it's not going to hurt you to have one beer." Riley told him.
"I'm a father…I can't. I have to be a role model."
Mark looks at his beer. He hands it back. "You know he's right. We have to be an example."
"You're kids aren't even here…Have a drink." Riley told them.
"God you guys are totally lame…You have to loosen up." Jason told them. "You're both teenagers."
"Yeah but we're dad's." Hunter tried to explain. "It is different for us."
"Is that why you haven't been with a girl since McKenzie?"
"Well that's wrong because I dated Clare…I actually loved Clare."
"Yeah well you didn't sleep with her." Riley reminded him.
"No I didn't…but that doesn't matter. I'm going to wait."
"Yeah me too," Mark told him. "It's important to me to wait."
Both Riley and Jason roll their eyes. "You guys are totally lame."
Mark was okay with being lame. He didn't want to have sex until he was married.
…
Scarlet is sitting in front of the TV.
Lily walks into the living room with Ansley and Scott slowly following behind her. They were walking but not well.
"Hey Scarlet do you want to go play outside with us?"
Scarlet didn't say anything.
"It'll be fun."
"I'm going to wait for my daddy." Scarlett told her and then ran upstairs.
Lily sighed. Scarlet absolutely hated her.
…
People finally started arriving at Millie's party.
This was going to be one night she would never forget.
….
Okay so let me know what ya thought?
