Visitors
Naley's House
Karen, Andy, Nathan, and Haley sat in the living room. Deb had gone home. Karen stood up. "Well, I'm going to go back and get Lily, it's getting late." Karen said.
"Oh, okay. I'll come with you." Haley said. And, after kissing Nathan's cheek, she caught up with Karen.
"I just can't believe she broke Brooke and Luke up the second time!" Karen gushed.
"And I can't believe you didn't know." Haley said, as they walked into Jamie's room. They saw them both asleep on Jamie's floor. Haley and Karen laughed. Karen walked over to get Lily who mumbled something about sleeping at Uncle Nate and Aunt Haley's house.
"That's fine. I mean how many times have her and Jamie spent the night together. Way to many to count." Haley said. Karen made sure it was okay, and then they put the two in Jamie's bed. The two walked out and told Nathan and Andy so Andy went back and kissed Lily on the forehead and said goodnight. Andy and Karen said their good-bye's and got in the car and left. Deciding to go get dinner after the long day.
Brooke's car
"What is it you told her?" Lucas asked, very curious.
"It's nothing really. I told her both things so long ago." Brooke said clearly not wanting to get into it. Lucas grabbed her free hand and said,
"You know you can tell me anything Pretty Girl."
"You have to stop calling me that!"
"How about I don't call you it, for now and we talk about it later?" Brooke nodded her head before telling him.
"I'm going to tell you one now and show you the other when we get to my house. The first one I told Haley after Nathan was out of the hospital after we broke up." A deep breath and a hand squeeze from Lucas and then, "When I broke up with you, I didn't tell you the full reason. I mean what I said was true BUT not the main reason. The main reason was that on the night of the Naley party, the one with all the acts and stuff,"
"I know what you mean. Just say it." He said gently.
"Right. Well, after everyone was gone, when I was talking to Peyton, she- she said she was in love with you."
"WHAT!?! So you broke up with me because SHE said she was in love with me?! You should have told me Brooke, let me make that choice. Because I promise you that story wouldn't have ended like that." Lucas said angry.
"Well, Lucas it's not like it matters anymore. Besides, even if you had known and we didn't break up then, we would have eventually so why does the when matter." She said trying not to cry.
"You don't know that." He said in a pouty voice. At this moment they pull into Brooke's house. They get out and are getting out a sleeping Sawyer, when they hear
"Where ya been hoe?" and they both immediately recognize the voice.
"Rachel?!" Brooke asks completely shocked to hear one of her best friends voices.
"No, it's the tooth fairy!" the fiery redheaded said, pulling her best friend into a hug.
"Oh my God! It's so good to see you Rach!" Brooke said hugging her back. After a couple minutes Brooke remembered Lucas and Sawyer. "Well c'mon we should get inside," she said pulling away from Rachel and facing Lucas and Sawyer, "we don't want your little tootsies to get cold now do we. And it looks like our sleepy head is awake." She said while kissing the little girl's face. She took her from Lucas. "Yes, yes. Who's my favorite baby girl? Huh? It's you! That's right. Auntie Brooke loves you!" Brooke said. Earning a laugh from Lucas and Rachel, who had just had a very awkward hug.
"Brooke, you can have baby time once we get inside and defrost." Lucas said earning a mock hurt look and then Brooke opening the door.
"So are you two?" Rachel asked
"No" Lucas said and anyone who didn't know better would swear there was sadness in his voice.
"Oh. And who's is that?" Rachel questioned, nodding at Sawyer.
"Luke and Peyton's" was Brooke's answer.
"Well then where is she? And why are you two together?" Rachel questioned.
"She died. Today. We just left Nathan and Haley's house." Said Brooke hugging Lucas with one arm.
"Oh. I'm so sorry guys!" Rachel said pulling them into a hug. "What happened?" she asked after pulling away.
"Car accident." Was all Lucas said. Brooke sensed Lucas didn't want to talk about it so,
"So Rach, not that it's not nice to see you, because it is. But what are you doing here?"
"Well, I may have lived in a lot of places throughout my life, but Tree Hill has always been the closest to home." She said shrugging as she sat down. The other two followed, after Brooke took Sawyer and placed her in a baby bounce-thing. "So Brooke, would you mind letting me crash here for the night, and maybe giving me a job?" she asked, scared of rejection.
"Of course Rach! You don't even need to ask. And it's for more than tonight. You are moving in.," she said hugging Rachel. Then she remembered Lucas and only having one extra bed. "Oh, crap. Luke you can-"
"It's fine Brooke, I'll take the couch." He said.
"You sure?"
"Positive." They decided to get to bed due to the hour, and long day. Rachel took her new room, after offering it to Lucas countless times. Then Brooke and Lucas put Sawyer in the crib. Then as Lucas was going to the couch, Brooke grabbed his arm.
"Something wrong, Brooke?" he asked stepping closer to her and facing her.
"Yes. I can't let you sleep on the couch. My bed is plenty big enough, we won't even touch." She said.
"You sure?" he wanted to sleep in her bed, but wasn't sure what to do.
"Please. I'll feel awful if you don't." she said pouting.
"Okay." He said giving in. They went into her room and she got her pajamas and,
"Turn around, Luke." She said, as he complied he said,
"You do realize it's nothing I haven't seen before."
"I guess you're right. It doesn't matter. I'm done any way." So he turned to face her. Then he took his shoes and socks off, and was getting in her bed, when
"No. I know you Lucas Scott, and you can't sleep right, unless you are in your boxers and no shirt."
"You're okay with that?"
" 'Course I am." She said smiling. "It's nothing I haven't seen before," she said in a macho voice. He laughed, taking off his shirt and pants. He then got in her bed, remembering her second thing.
"Hey Brooke?" she looked at him so he continued. "In the car, you said there were two things. What's the second?" she sighed and stood up, turned on the light, then walked back to the bed, on his side, and knelt. He turned to face her, as she got out a box. She handed it to him. When he opened it he saw 4 letters on top of many others. He then knew why he recognized the box.
"Brooke. Why do you have the letters I gave you?"
"Look at the top four." He did so and saw they were addressed to him, from her.
"What?"
"I wrote them after we broke up, the second time." He read them. All were sweet, and sad.
"Wow!" was all he said, before the lights went out, and Brooke leaned over to kiss his cheek.
"G'night, Luke."
The Next Morning
Rachel woke up and went to wake Brooke up. When she opened the door she saw Brooke and Lucas asleep, his arms around her waist, and hers under his arms with her hands on his shoulders. His head was on top of hers, nose in her hair, and hers was on his chest. Rachel smiled to herself and went to get her camera phone. After taking the picture, she decided to cook them breakfast. But first she found a highchair, sat it by the table, and got Sawyer.
"I know you don't know me yet, but I'm your Aunt Rachel." She said smiling at the cooing baby. She then sat her in the highchair and began making breakfast. Half an hour later Rachel was done cooking.
Brooke was having an amazing dream. She was in bed with the man she loved, but then she smelt coffee and bacon, her stomach growled, and her eyes opened. At the same time something similar happened to Lucas. The realized they were in one another's arms, and apologized getting up.
"Do I smell bacon?" Lucas asked after a few minutes.
"Yea. But Rachel doesn't cook." The two walked out and saw tons of food and a very happy Sawyer. "Who are you? And what did you do with my friend?"
"Haha. You're sooo funny, Brooke." The three sat down. Lucas fed his daughter, while the girls talked baby talked to her. Then the trio ate their food.
After breakfast, they went to the Naley house. After saying hello to everyone, and Rachel sharing her picture, they sat down to talk. When Lucas' cell phone rang.
"Hello? This is he. Yes sir. I'm on my way. Good-Bye." He then faced his friends. "They need me to come get her things from the hospital." He said.
"I'll come with you." Brooke said standing with Lucas.
"You sure?"
"Of course I am, Luke."
"Yea, ya'll go. We'll watch Sawyer." Haley said, then looking at Rachel who was playing with the baby, "Looks like she already likes her." They all laughed. Brooke and Lucas left in his car. When they got to the hospital they told the nurse why they were there. They went into a room with a doctor, who gave them a bag marked 'Peyton Scott'.
"That phone hasn't stopped ringing all night, you should probably tell whoever that is." The doctor said before leaving. Peyton's phone rang. Lucas took it out and showed Brooke the caller id. Lucas answered.
"Hello? Hey man. Look, I have something to tell you. Yea. She died. Last night. Car accident. Of course you can. We'll be at Nathan and Haley's house. I'll text you the directions. See ya then." He hung up and checked the call log. "Why is he calling her so much?"
"I don't know. We'll find out when we see him." She answered. Then Lucas texted the directions to the man from the phone. Brooke's cell phone rang. It was Julian. "Hello? Hey. What? You're kidding right? Fuck you!" And she hung up.
"What happened?" Lucas asked pulling her into a hug.
"It was Julian. He broke up with me." She said. "I'm not sad. I should be but I'm not."
"He wasn't right for you." They then drove to Nathan and Haley's house and when they got there saw another car pulling up. "He was quick." Was all Lucas said as they got out.
"Hey Lucas, Brooke." He said.
"Hey Jake!" Brooke said running into his arms for a hug. Then picking up Jenny. When they pulled apart Lucas hugged him. "Hey Jake. And Jenny, you're getting so big." Jenny smiled at all the attention then the four went in. Everyone said hi to Jake and Jenny who then went off to play with Jamie and Lily. Lucas then pulled Jake aside.
"Hey man. I'm curious as to why you were calling Peyton so much." Lucas said.
"I wanted her to tell you something." He said looking away.
"What is that?" he asked trying to stay calm.
"She came to see me not to long ago. We ended up sleeping together; I had no idea you two were together. Then about two months later I got a call from her again."
"Are you trying to say what I think you're saying?"
The Living Room
There is a knock at the door. Brooke is the closest so she walks over and answers it.
"Hot Uncle Cooper!?!" Brooke screams. She then hugs him; everyone else is laughing and getting up to hug him.
"It's good to see you to Brooke. There's my favorite nephew." He hugged Nathan.
"Good to see ya Coop. What are you doing here?"
"Your mom called me, about Peyton. Where's Lucas?"
"He went into the kitchen to talk to Jake. He should be out soon."
"Okay. Haley! It's so good to see the girl who has made one mistake in her life, and that would be marrying my nephew." He said as they hugged. She laughed at this.
"Good to see you to Cooper. Jamie and Lily are in his room, with our friend, Jake's daughter." She told him. He started to head to Jamie's room when he saw Rachel.
"Hi." Was all he said. She waved at him, smiling. He then walked back to Jamie's room. "Jimmy jam! Lily Lou!" he yelled to the two little kids, who at hearing this jumped up and ran over to hug him.
"Uncle Coop!" they yelled simultaneously. He picked them both up.
