Episode 2 Chapter 3 Choices

Summer was still lying on the couch. Andy brought her a piece of pie. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm good. Thanks for hanging out with me today dad."

"Well it's been a long time since I have gotten to spend time with my little girl."

"Dad," she smiled.

"I'm so proud of you."

"You always say that." She smiled. "I'm surprised Jamie isn't here."

"He called this morning and said that he wouldn't be able to make until later."

"Oh I guess he's probably doing something with Breanne." Summer looked down and then back at her dad.

"You have feelings for him don't you?"

Summer didn't say anything.

"I thought so."

"No dad I don't. Jamie has just been really amazing these last few months, and I guess I don't know what I would do if he wouldn't have been here for me. It's all just really stressful, and he's been there for me. It's been nice."

"You know it's okay if you are falling in love with him."

"Dad…I'm not. Jamie and Breanne are madly in love, and I'm okay being a single mom. I've done it before and I can do it again." She touched her stomach. "We're going to be happy because that is what Chase would want. He would want us to be happy."

….

Mouth was still confused. He kind of had a feeling that Jacey sent the text message. "Rebecca I never sent you a text message. But I should have. I have missed you and the kids like crazy."

"I've missed you too Marvin."

"Where are the kids?"

"They will be here soon. Rita is bringing them."

"That's great. Does that mean that you guys are going to move here permanently?"

"The kids need their father."

"You guys can move in here."

"Marvin…" she paused. "I'm going to look for a house. You chose Tree Hill over your family."

"I asked you to come with me."

"The truth is our marriage was falling apart long before you left…that was just icing on the cake. I still want the divorce."

"Rebecca…"

"The kids and I are going to live here because that is what they want…They want to be closer to you, but I can't do it. I'm sorry, but we just don't fit together anymore. I wish we did, but we don't."

Mouth couldn't believe this was happening. She was moving to Tree Hill, but she still wanted a divorce. That just didn't seem right.

…

Elizabeth walks into the living room where Noah is sitting on the couch. "How's Emma?"

"She is still not feeling well. I think the doctors were lying. There is something wrong with her. She has never been this sick."

"They are doctors. They know what they are doing."

"Yeah well I know my daughter, and I know that she is really sick."

Elizabeth sits next to him. Noah rubs her shoulders.

"If she doesn't get better we will take her back in the morning."

"Okay…I just get worried about her. I don't know what I would do without her."

"Me either…I love you and I love that little girl. The two of you are my whole world…Elizabeth I'm so glad that I am her father. Thank you…" He kisses her.

"I wouldn't want anyone else to be her father."

…

Jamie and Carter are walking through the parking lot. "Daddy, why did you pick me up so early?"

"I thought the two of us would spend the rest of the day together. Does that sound good to you?"

"Yeah," he started jumping up and down. "Yay! I like hanging out with you."

"I like hanging out with you too buddy."

Jamie smiled. Carter was the best thing that came out of his relationship with Breanne. He would always be his son. And his love for Carter made him realize that their relationship had been worth something, and it wasn't a waste of his time.

…..

Jacey walks into Breanne's house. "Hey you…"

"Hey," Breanne was sitting on the couch.

"Are you okay?"

"Six years," Breanne had tears in her eyes. "We were supposed to get married and have babies."

"Breanne," Jacey sits on the couch next to her. "I'm so sorry."

"I couldn't trust him. I just…I couldn't trust him."

"Jamie is a good guy Breanne."

"Yeah I know that. He is the best guy in the world…but I couldn't get over my insecurities. I ruined everything…I had it all and I…I blew it."

"Maybe the two of you will find your way back together."

"That's not going to happen. The only tie that Jamie and I have is Carter. It's over."

"But…"

"No Jace…it's over…I just have to learn to accept it."

"But six years…"

"Jamie was never going to propose to me. He may not ever admit it but he didn't trust me either….I knew our relationship was over the moment he didn't move back into the house. He didn't move back in because he didn't want to have to move back out." She sighed, "He gave me the best years of my life, and I will always love him for that…but I have to learn to let go and move on without him."

Breanne rested her head on Jacey's shoulder.

"I'll stay here for as long as you need me."

"Thanks," Breanne said as she wiped away her tears.

….

"What are you doing back in town?" Spencer asked Miranda.

"I'm here because I miss Scarlet. I like that little girl."

"Miranda I think you should just leave."

"No…I'm going to get a house, and I'm going to get another job, and I am going to be apart of Scarlet's life whether you like it or not." Miranda told him before walking out of the gallery.

Spencer was not going to let that happen. Miranda was bad news.

….

Peyton is sitting at her desk thinking of more ideas. Maybe she could convince Becky to start singing again. She had brought the company a lot of money. And maybe Jamie would do a few things here and there. She needed something anything…She needed a miracle to fall out of the sky.

"Hi," Jessica walked into her office.

Peyton just looked at her.

"I'm Jessica…I've been in here before. I worked with Jamie."

"Oh yeah…" Peyton couldn't really remember her, but she would go with it.

"I'm singer, and Jamie thinks I would be perfect for the label."

Peyton smiled. If she could sing she might just be her miracle and she didn't even have to fall out of the sky.

…..

Riley and Ellie walk into Lucas and Peyton's house kissing. "I can't believe we are doing this."

"We have to live every moment to the fullest." Ellie smiled as she started to take his shirt off.

"Can I live every moment like this?"

"Oh yes," she pushed him on the couch and slowly worked her way on top of him.

"I like it when you act in charge."

"I like being in charge." She starts to kiss his chest.

"What the hell?" Lucas said as he walked into the house holding Zander. He couldn't believe he was walking in on them again. Had that boy not learned anything from the last time?

…

Hunter is sitting on the bench outside of school.

"Can I join you?" McKenzie asked.

"Yeah sure…"

"You look upset."

"I was thinking about what Jason said earlier. I think he's right. I think I need to get my own place."

McKenzie nodded. "I'll help you look."

"Really?"

"Yeah we can take Ally and everything…It'll be fun."

"Thanks McKenzie."

"You can count on me Hunter…"

He smiled. He knew that he could now.

…..

Brooke and Nathan walk into Millie's hospital room.

"Okay I'm ready…Start yelling."

"We're not going to yell Millie."

"Yeah right…"

"No…we're not." Brooke stepped in. "There is no point in yelling at you. We want you to see a therapist."

"I'm not crazy."

"No but you need to see someone…You're not talking to us."

Millie rolled her eyes. "Because I hate you."

"Do not talk to Brooke like that Millie," Nathan raised his voice. "You're going to see this therapist whether you like it or not." With that said Nathan walked out of the room. He didn't want to say something he may regret later.

…

Okay let me know what you thought!
