Chapter 14-
Somehow the previous night they all managed to get upstairs to sleep, but where they slept was all out of order. They were all partner up, but mostly none of them where in their actual rooms. The morning was beautiful and sunny, you could see the beauty of the scattered clouds. No one really wanted this to end, but today was the perfect day. Even the weather felt good about it, with it's sunny rays and the soft breeze blowing.
Looking around the house, it looked so empty. Their was boxes and bags everywhere, and everything was scattered around.
Lucas laid on his bed just staring at the ceiling, it was amazing how much his life changed during the three months he lived in the house. He looked to the body laying next to him and smiled, he smiled at what he saw. The one person he had always liked but was never able to get, she was now dating him and all his. The one person he never thought would give him the time of day actually liked him back. He snapped out of his thoughts and reached to her and kissed the top of her head. The body began to move, and soon her eyes flicked open.
"Morning" she told him with a smile.
"Morning" he smiled back, "how'd you sleep?" he questioned her.
"Fine, you?"
"Well" he paused and looked up at the ceiling thinking, then he turned back to face her "as long as I have you with me I sleep like a baby" he told her honestly.
Peyton smiled and lightly slapped his chest, then she reached up to him and kissed him. Lucas deepened the kiss, and they began a full on make out session. It was their last day together, sure not as a couple. But it was the last time they would actually get to spend the night together, even if nothing happen Karen would never allow it.
In the room next door, you would find Bevin and Rachel in the green room. Both girls took over a bed, Rachel taking her and Bevin taking her old bed;which belonged to Peyton now. The girls were both in a deep sleep, none even bothering to get up, it was the last day and they were bound to sleep in.
Looking around the room you could see all of Rachel's bags, she had tons of pink bags. She didn't even get to unpack when she got to Tree Hill and she had to move into this house, so most of her things were never used or touched. But the bags where still there.
In the room next to them were Jake and Brooke, both cuddle together on her bed. Brooke not being a very early raiser unless it was necessary, was still sleeping. As for Jake he just looked at her with so much love in his eyes, never would he have pictured himself with her. She was the popular girl, the girl who only hooked up. He was the shy basketball player, who only really spoke to the popular crowd when it was necessary. Now looking at the body next to him he was amazed, amazed that she was now his girlfriend. The one girl who had never managed to maintain a relationship made an exception with him, he was the one that she wanted to be official with.
Brooke opened her eyes and tried to adjust to the light, she looked next to him and saw him. She smiled, then she looked up at his face. "Good morning, Boyfriend" she said sweetly and placed a peck on his lips.
Jake looked at her and smiled, it felt so good to feel her lips on his. "Wanna get ready?"
Brooke frowned at his question, the only thing she wanted was to lay in his arm for as long as possible. She shook her head and Jake completely understood.
"Okay" he said and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
Across the hall from Brooke and Jake were Nathan and Haley, although they were in the same bed nothing happened. They already had their night of love and passion, and they just wanted to enjoy their last night to the limit. Just with each other's company, that would be more then enough.
Haley being the early raiser that she is, had woken up about thirty minutes prior. She just kept staring at the boy next to her, and couldn't believe that she would ever develop feelings for him. In the beginning their was so much hate for the guy, he was just such a jerk most of the time. He was also cocky, and had an ego the size of the moon. But it all worked out for them in the end, she learned to see passed all his BS and flaws.
He was actually a great person when you got to know him, and also when he let you in. If you looked deep into him you would see that he also cared about things, and that the way he shows himself it's just a shell to protect himself.
Still deep into thoughts Haley didn't notice the boy next to her wake up, he was looking at her trying to read her face. But it was just out of the planet, she looked so lost in her thoughts. Nathan did the only thing he thought would help, he leaned down to her and kissed her sweetly.
Haley felt his lips on her and responded to the kiss, she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer. "Morning" she mumble between kisses.
Nathan pulled away, "good morning to you, beautiful" he told her sweetly, the he kissed her nose quickly. "How long have you been awake?" he asked.
"About half an hour" she told him. Stretching her arms she let out a loud noise then turned to face him, "we better get ready to go" after that she began to get up. She felt him pull her back down, then kissed her.
"I don't want to go" he told her.
Haley pulled away, and got of the bed "we have to" she told him and walked towards the door. "I'll be right back" she said and walked out the room.
Nathan was left there all alone with his thoughts, nothing worth discussing. But he really felt lonely now, he pouts to himself got up and walked towards the bathroom to take a shower.
In the room next door, well more like next to the bathroom. Well there you would see Mouth and Skills. The now friends slept in their old room together, yet in separate beds. Mouth was up and running, he was already dress and had most of his bags by the door ready to take out. Skills on the other hand was still sleeping, and not quiet finished packing. He had clothes everywhere, and his bags were half way full.
Mouth walked over to Skills bed and pulled the covers off of him, "get up" he yelled earning a groan from Skills.
"Mouth dawg, let me sleep five more minutes" Skills said still laying in bed with his eyes closed, he pulled a pillow over his head to protect him from Mouth.
"Skills, we have to go get breakfast. Then we'll be going home" he stated.
Skills didn't really care, he just wanted his sleep. That's exactly what he did, he continued sleeping.
Mouth gave up on the whole situation and walked out the room, stepping outside he saw Haley walking out of the room next to his.
"Hey Hales"
"Hey" she said, "ready to go?" she questioned pointing to the bag he was carrying.
Mouth nodded, "yeah, I just want to have them all downstairs and ready to go" he told her.
Haley then nodded and walked passed him "I'll see you later for breakfast" she told him and opened the door to the green room.
Bevin had just woken up, she walked to the bathroom to get ready.
Haley walked in the room and heard the water running in the bathroom, she looked to both beds and saw that Rachel was still in bed. With that she walked over to her bed and jumped on her straddling Rachel. "Wake up friend" she yelled.
Rachel jumped when she felt someone on her, she lifted her head and saw none other then Haley. "What are you doing?" she questioned loudly.
"Waking you up" Haley told her, "it's our last breakfast, and I want you to look good" she then got off Rachel and sat next to her. "Besides, no one want grumpy Rachel at breakfast" she stated, "she's mean."
Rachel laughed at her comment, "fine, I'll get ready. But you better go wake up Lucas" she told her.
"Oh I will" Haley said with a mischievous look, and rubbing her hands together.
Rachel laughed at her and stood up, she looked at Haley and talked "I want to be part of your master plan" she wined.
"Fine" Haley said, "follow me."
Haley was telling Rachel the plan softly, making sure no one heard them. They walked out the room and started to make their way to the other door. With out so much as a knock they both just walked in and yelled "GOOD MORNING BESTEST FRIEND" together.
Lucas jumped up as did Peyton, and both girls cover their mouths when they saw that Lucas wasn't alone. How stupid could they be and not expect this, Lucas and Peyton had walked up the stairs together last night.
"Good morning to you too, girlies" he said with a chuckle at the image of both of them covering their mouths and eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't, oh god" was all Haley managed to say.
"What she's trying to say, is that we didn't know you two were together" Rachel said.
Lucas nodded his head in understanding, "I know" he simply said.
"we'll see you downstairs" Haley said, then she grabbed Rachel's hand and took her out the room.
Lucas and Peyton both looked at each other and began to laugh, while the same thing was happening outside the room with the two other people that were part of the whole thing.
After what seemed to be a very eventful morning, they had all managed to eat breakfast together. Right after breakfast Joe had come and told them that they would be going home after lunch, he also told them that lunch would be pizza; Which would be delivered to them by noon, so it was best if all their bags were downstairs and ready to go.
Brooke was walking down the stairs with her bag on her shoulder, while Jake followed behind with a ton of bags. They were not his because he would not have Louis Vuitton bags.
"How much stuff did you bring" Jake asked almost out of air.
"Stop complaining" Brooke told him, she was still walking down the stairs. "Did you Nathan complain, or Lucas for that matter" she asked with an attitude.
"No" Jake told her.
"See, and Nathan even carried some of Rachel's bags. And that girl had a ton" she said.
When they finally made it to the living room, Jake dropped all the bags and took a deep breath. "Finally" he said more to himself, god know what Brooke would say if she heard him.
"Pizza's here" they heard Mouth yell.
Jake and Brooke quickly walked to the kitchen, where they met everyone else. It was as if everyone else had done their packing and bag carrying in the morning, and Brooke was the only one who left it for the last minute.
"I'm starving" he said reaching over and grabbing a slice.
"Guys, this is so sad" Brooke said, "but don't you worry. I'll make sure that we all have at least one class together" she said.
"I don't think that's possible" Lucas said, "you see some of us have A.P classes" he took a bite of his pizza.
"yeah" Brooke said raising her eyebrow, "well there is no such thing as A.P gym" she stated.
"Are you a smart ass" Nathan told her.
"Shut up" she said.
"I think we should take a picture" Bevin said pulling out her camera.
"Bev that's an awesome idea" Brooke said cheering up at the idea.
Bevin handed the camera to Lucas who put on the timer, he set the camera on the counter and made sure that everyone would be on the picture.
At the far right side was Nathan who had Haley on his left side, next to her was Peyton but she had the space next to Haley available for Lucas to take, Peyton stood next to Brooke and on the far left was Jake. The rest were bending down in front of them. Bevin was in front of Peyton, on her left was Skills while on her right was Rachel, and on the far right was Mouth right in front of Haley.
Lucas made sure he could see everyone, "okay" he said, "say cheese" he said and ran over to stand between his girlfriend and best friend.
The light started to flicker faster and they all got to pose, Lucas hugged both girls next to him. Nathan got closer to Haley in a semi hug, Brooke and Jake had their bodies facing each other and held onto each other tightly. Mouth just smiled at the camera, while Bevin pulled Rachel to a hug as both the girls faces touched showing their smile. Skills just stood there looking at the camera.
Right before the camera snapped a voice spoke , "make it a good one" Brooke yelled. Everyone laughed, yet their laughs only made the picture better.
The end.
Thanks to all my readers, I really hope you enjoyed the ending. I really didn't know how to end it, but it was something that had to happen. The picture will come up on the sequel, yes there will be a sequel. I already have some ideas for the first chapter, and I will update it as soon as possible. I'm really gonna miss reading all your reviews, they really made my days.
23bNrAuLcEaYs- I'm really glad you like the story and I hope you like the sequel.
Oreo-PeanutButter-Macaroni- Thanks for explaining the whole uds thing. I can't believe I didn't figure it out before.
Haley Elizabeth James- What can I say, your point is made. Your one of the first readers and I always enjoy reading your comments. Thanks for sticking with the story. YOU ROCK.
Freya- I'm glad that the story had such and impact that you had a dream about it, the first chapter was actually a dream I had. I know weird. Anyways thanks for your review.
Jax- Thanks so much for your review, and it's really cool about your cruise thing. I actually have done this before too so I just wrote about it. It was an awesome chapter to write.
Okay thanks again, and just wanted to say that you can still pick a name for the sequel. I only have three votes so far, and I was thinking of just mixing them. If you want to vote here are the choices:
-Senior Year – this idea was given to me by Haley Elizabeth James.
-Tree Hill Seniors- I thought that since this one is Tree Hill Summer, the new can be called seniors.
-After the Summer- because it's based on what happened after the summer.
-Let's face it together- they will go through lots of things, but they'll always be there for each other.
-I'm here for you- it's also has something to do with them being there for each other.
