Episode 2 Chapter 4 Choices

Peyton was listening to Jessica sing What a Girl Wants. Jessica finished and turned towards Peyton. "I know it's not Christina Aguilera's version, but I like to change things up a little bit and make them sound the way I want them to sound."

Peyton was in awe of her voice. "You are amazing. I loved your version better."

"Really?" Jessica was surprised. Singing in front of people really scared her, but she really wanted to succeed for Jamie. He had been really good to her, and she wanted to prove him right.

"Yeah…You can meet with our writers tomorrow. I would love to sign you to the label."

Jessica's face lit up with excitement. "Wow…I…I can't believe this."

"You're good Jessica. You might be just what this label needs."

Jessica sure hoped she was right. She was nervous, but she knew that she could do it.

…

Riley and Ellie are sitting in front of Lucas.

"I can't believe the two of you skipped school to…" He couldn't even say it. "I thought the two of you learned your lesson the last time."

"Come on…you know we've been having sex." Riley reminded him.

"Yes I know that…That's not why I'm mad…You've proven that you are going to have sex whether we like it or not. We have all come to accept that, but I'm not going to stand by while the two of you skip class. That is not acceptable."

"We're sorry Lucas." Ellie hoped her apology would help the matter.

"That's not going to work this time." Lucas was so upset.

"So I'm grounded…How long?" Riley sighed. He knew he would be grounded. He had gotten used to that.

"That doesn't seem to work with either of you." Lucas took a breath. "I talked to your dad Ellie and we think that the two of you should spend some time apart."

"What?"

"You can't do that." Riley was pissed.

"We think a month a part will do you some good."

"You can't keep us apart. You can't follow me around twenty four seven."

"Actually," Lucas had already figured it out. "I'll pick you up from school everyday and you will stay at this house under my watchful eye. I wish I could trust you not to see her because if I could then we wouldn't have to do it this way."

Riley couldn't believe this was happening.

Ellie was in shock. They couldn't really keep them apart. There was just no way that they could do that to them. They were in love. And they loved having sex.

….

Hunter and McKenzie walk out of one of the apartment buildings. "That was a pretty awesome apartment, and the rents not too bad." McKenzie thought.

"Yeah well I still can't afford it by myself." Hunter sighed. "I guess I'll just live with my dad's rules."

"No…" McKenzie shook her head. "I can't let you do that. I'll be your roommate."

"What?"

"We can move in together and raise Ally…Kind of like a family."

Hunter was a little shocked that she was suggesting this. "McKenzie you don't have to do that."

"I want to do it. I think it'll work…just friends but also parents of an amazing little girl."

"I think it is a good idea." Hunter couldn't believe he was saying those words.

…

Jamie is pushing Carter on the swings. "Higher daddy…higher…" Carter yelled.

"Alright buddy…your wish is my command." He swung him a few more times and then Carter was ready to get down.

They walked over to the park bench. "I miss you daddy."

"What are you talking about? I'm right here." Jamie smiled.

"No I mean at home." Carter looked down as if he were about to cry.

"Hey listen to me buddy…I love you very much, and I miss you too, but you can come over and play at the loft all the time."

"I know…It's just not the same."

"I know that, but I love you so much Carter…I always will…You can never forget that okay."

Carter nodded. "Can we stay up late at your house?"

"You bet…"

"Yay," Carter smiled. "And I will get to see you all the time."

"Yeah all of the time. And you and your mommy are going to have a lot of fun too."

"I know…mommy is pretty cool." Carter's face lit up when he talked about his mommy.

"Yeah she's the coolest." Jamie smiled.

…..

"I've had a pretty great day with you today dad, but do you think that Clare could bring…" Before she could finish her sentence Drew and Clare walked through the door.

"Drew," she smiled as he ran into her arms.

"Mommy…I had the best day with Aunt Clare."

"That's awesome buddy."

"Yeah he's a pretty cool little kid." Clare smiled.

"Thanks Clare…I really appreciate it."

"No problem…I had a pretty great time with your little man." Clare really loved Drew.

"Mommy, when are you going to have my baby brother?" Drew asked.

"I'm not sure, but we don't know if it is a boy or a girl yet Drew."

"It's a boy. I asked God to give us a boy, and Grandpa Andy says that God answers prayers." Drew smiled. "It's a boy…God wouldn't let me down."

Summer smiled. Drew was the greatest kid around.

…

Daniel stops by Michelle's house. "So what brought you by?"

"I just needed to talk to my mom."

"Okay so talk…what's wrong?"

"I made a mistake. I made a huge mistake, and…"

"What are you talking about?"

"I did something that is going to ruin my relationship with Noah."

"Nothing could ruin your relationship with Noah. You're brothers."

"Yeah well this…" He paused for a moment. "I hope you're right mom." He sighed. He didn't think that she was right. Noah was going to hate him once the truth came out.

….

Lily sat Scott and Ansley on the couch. Scarlet walked in behind her.

"I'm going to go get the rest of the groceries. Scarlet, can you watch Scott and Ansley? I'll be right back."

Scarlet nodded, and Lily took that as a yes. She walked outside to her car. She heard the door slam.

She sat the groceries back down in her car and ran to the door.

She twisted the knob to open the door, but it was locked.

Scarlet was standing by the door.

"Scarlet," Lily yelled. "Open the door now."

Scarlet shook her head from side to side and walked away.

…..

Millie walks into the therapist office.

"Hi Millie…I'm Louise…Take a seat."

Millie rolled her eyes. She was not looking forward to this at all.
