Episode 7 Chapter 1 Electric

"Life should be a party, but most of the time it's just a bitch!" Millie's voice can be heard.

Brooke is in her bathroom putting her make-up on. Nathan walks in buttoning his shirt.

"Nate, are you sure that we should leave Millie here alone with Sophie?" Brooke was freaking out a little bit. She wasn't sure is she trusted Millie yet.

"We have to start trusting her again Brooke." Nathan told her. He walked over to her and rubbed her shoulders. "We have to give her a little responsibility."

"Yeah but Sophie can be a handful sometimes."

"Brooke," he kissed her neck. "Millie is trying, and we have to show her that we are trying too."

Brooke nodded, "I know…I just…"

"And we have to go to TRIC to support Peyton."

"Okay, but I am calling home like ever hour on the hour."

"I can live with that." Nathan smiled and kissed her lips.

He was hoping that he could finally trust Millie again. He needed to be able to trust her again.

…..

Millie is sitting on her bed. She was staring at the bag of pills. She still hadn't taken any of them. And she didn't think that she was going too. She had to change. She knew that her mom wouldn't be proud of the person she had become. She had to be better.

She put the pills back into her purse. She should have thrown them away, but she didn't want anyone to see them in the garbage. She would throw them out later.

…

Peyton is sitting at her desk tapping her fingers.

Jake walks in.

"Hey," he smiled.

"You're not dressed. Why aren't you dressed?"

"My clothes are in the dressing room." Jake could tell that she was nervous. "I thought I could just wear this."

"No," she shakes her head. "Not a chance. Everything has to be perfect Jake."

"It will be. Mia and I are ready for this. We have been practicing for weeks." Jake smiled. "Besides you are amazing Peyton."

Peyton smiled. She was glad that she and Jake could talk again. They had a bad past and she was glad they could finally put it behind them.

"Thanks Jake," she smiled and stood up beside him. "I'm just worried. I have invested so much into this company. I would hate for it all to be a failure."

"It won't be. Trust me on that." He smiled and then hugged her. "I promise everything is going to be perfect.

Mia was about to walk into the office when she saw the two of them hugging. She walked out shaking her head. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the connection the two of them would always have.

…..

Riley is in his bedroom getting dressed.

Lucas knocks on the door and walks in.

"Oh hey dad…I was just getting ready for my date with Ellie tonight."

"You better call her and tell her the date is off."

"Why would I do something like that?"

"Because you are babysitting tonight…"

Riley made a face. "I never told you I was babysitting."

"I know, but you are now."

"Why?" Riley was highly confused.

"You're calculus teacher called me this afternoon. You made a D on your last test."

Riley scrunched his face. He didn't want Lucas to know that. "Yeah but she said that I could make it up."

"Yeah she told me that too. She said that she gave you a take home test to take."

"Yeah she did. I'm going to do it after I get back from my date."

"Nope," Lucas shook his head. "You are going to do it tonight while you are watching the kids."

"Come on," Riley made a face. "I have a date."

"You can tell Ellie to come over and help you, but you are not leaving this house."

"You guys are way too hard on me." Riley yelled at him.

"We had a deal Riley, and you broke that deal."

"So am I grounded?"

"Just for the night," Lucas walked out of the room. It wasn't that he needed Riley to watch the kids because Savannah and Charlie could do that, but he knew he had to punish him someway.

"Damn it," Riley sighed and fell back onto his bed. He was always getting into trouble.

…..

"Mommy," Drew was sitting on her bed. Landon was sitting in his carrier next to Drew. "We want to see how pretty you look."

Summer smiled. She was standing in her closet. She had tried on every single outfit in her closet. She wanted to look perfect for her first date with Jamie.

Summer walked out of the closet wearing a staples dark purple dress that cut off at the knees.

"Wow mommy you are one hot mama." Drew said with his hands on his hips.

Summer could help but laugh. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah mommy," he smiled. He pointed to Landon. "Landon thinks you look pretty too."

She was glad her kids thought she looked good, but she needed someone else to give her a personal opinion.

….

Lily walked into Jamie's apartment. "Jamie," she called out for him. "James…" She walked into his bedroom. "Oh my God…What the hell happened in here?" There were clothes everywhere. It looked almost like a girl's bedroom.

"I don't know what to wear." He came out of his closet only wearing his boxers.

"Oh my God you are such a girl," she laughed. "Why are you so worried about what to wear?"

"I want everything to be perfect for tonight."

"You are just going to TRIC. No big deal. We go to TRIC all the time."

He shook his head, "Yeah but this time is different. This time I am going with Summer."

Lily smiled, "Like a date?"

"Yeah," he smiled back and continued to sort through his clothes. "Our first date…"

"Oh my gosh," she jumped up and down. "I told Spencer the two of you were hot for each other."

Jamie just looked at her. "You have to help me. I don't want Summer to think I look like some kind of nerd."

"She probably already thinks that, but seeing on how she agreed to go on a date with you I don't think she cares."

Jamie continued to search. "Please help me…"

"Okay I will…of course I will…this is absolutely wonderful."

"What is absolutely wonderful?"

"My two best friends are getting together. I'm super excited about this."

"It's just one date," he reminded her.

"That is going to turn into two and then three and then ten and then marriage and babies and finally the two of you can have a happily ever after." Lily searched through his clothes. "This is my prediction for you."

Jamie smiled. He didn't know if he and Summer would ever get married…but he would definitely like a happily ever after.

…..

Spencer walked into Summer's house. She was pacing back and forth. "Hey I got your message. Are you okay?"

"I think I am going to hyperventilate."

"Why?" Spencer began to freak out.

"Because I'm going on a date with Jamie, and I have such high expectations. What if the date doesn't meet those expectations?"

Spencer smiled. He remembered feeling that way when he and Lily first started dating. "The first date is the scariest…after that it is pretty much downhill."

"How do I look?"

"You look great Summer. Jamie is one lucky guy."

"What if he doesn't feel lucky?"

"Stopping thinking about the what ifs and think about how awesome the date is going to be."

Summer bit her bottom lip.

Spencer smiled.

"What's so funny?"

"I kind of always had a feeling that the two of you were going to get together."

Summer smiled. She had that same feeling. She just hoped that they didn't set the expectations too high.

…..

Daniel is sitting at home flipping through the channels. He was supposed to go to TRIC to hopefully meet up with Miranda, but all he could think about was Emma….And the recent conversation he had with Noah. Something was definitely up with him.

Daniel and Noah were having lunch together. "I'm glad you called Noah. We don't always get to hang out like we used too."

"Yeah I know…I'm so busy with my family."

"Yeah you have a great family Noah."

Noah nodded, "Yeah because I would never just forget about them…I'm always going to be there for my family."

Daniel just looked at him. He didn't know what he was supposed to think or what that was supposed to mean. "I would always be there for mine too."

Noah didn't say anything at first. He took a bite of his food and waited a minute. "All we have in this life is our family Daniel. Don't ever forget that…" He looked at his food again.

"I won't. Noah are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm great…Daniel," he paused for a moment. "I just want you to be happy."

"Thanks Noah…I want that for you too."

"I am happy, but…"

"But what?"

"Just don't ever let anyone get in the way of what you want and your happiness…don't give up your happiness just to protect someone else." Noah looked at his watch. "I've got to go home to Emma and Elizabeth." He sighed. "I don't know what I would do without them, but I'm sure I would figure it out if I had too." He left some money on the table and walked away.

Daniel had no idea what was going on with his brother, but whatever it was had to be bad.

Daniel sighed as he sat on his couch. Why would Noah lose Elizabeth and Emma? They were his…but then again Emma wasn't. Noah didn't know that though….but what if he did?

"Oh my God," Daniel knew at that moment that Noah had figured out the truth…Nothing good could come from him knowing the truth…except for Emma would finally be his. He could finally tell his daughter that he was her father….that was the only good thing about the truth.

…

Noah was waiting anxiously on the couch.

Elizabeth walked into the living room.

"Well," he stood up hoping to hear the good news.

"I'm not pregnant Noah. I'm sorry. I really thought that I was."

Noah was disappointed. "I thought you were too. We've been trying so hard lately."

"I know, but we can keep trying. I'll get pregnant eventually."

"I don't want to keep trying," Noah snapped at her. "I just..just…can't."

"Noah, are you okay?"

"I need some air." He walked to the door. "I'll meet you at the club tonight." He walked out the door.

Elizabeth sighed. She felt like she was losing him and she didn't even know why.

Outside the door, Noah leaned against the wall. He didn't know what he was supposed to do. He couldn't live with the secret anymore. It was killing him.
