Chapter 2

Peyton was trying to take in all that she just heard. Lucas, Lindsey and Keith. She thought to herself.

"How could she give Keith what he wants for Christmas?"

"She has been over Lucas for a long time now she feels sorry everything that has happened."

"But What do I have to with it?" Peyton asked.

"It ended with a lie I told him and he is to know nothing about that."

Brooke went to the hospital where Lucas was. Dr. Marian Walker is his doctor.

"How is he doing today?" Brooke asked.

"He is the same no change." "But something strange did happen when one of the therapist were in here; he started talking about Lucas's family in hope that it would trigger something." "He was talking about high school and some of stories you told us and he said Peyton Sawyer's name and his EEG went off the chart." "Lucas is not dead he is in there somewhere do you know where this Peyton Sawyer is?" Dr. asked.

"Yes I do, and she knows about the situation." Brooke said.

"What is the problem then?" "If she knows then why is she not here?" asked Dr. Walker.

"Dr. Walker things are complicated between Lucas and Peyton." "I am going to go and see her and explain the situation a litter better than I did before." Brooke told her.

"I hope you get her to understand the full situation." Dr. Walker said.

"Oh she will because I will have reinforcements with me." Brooke said.

Brooke asked Haley and Karen to go with her. Brooke called her pilot and told him to have the plane ready in two hours that she was going to LA. Two hours later the girls were on their way to LA.

"Peyton is in for one big surprise." Haley said.

"Girls we are not going to give her the choice of not coming home." Karen told them.

"Damn strait I will kidnap her if needs be." Brooke said.

Peyton tried to work after that but it was hard. All she could think about is what Brooke had told her. She thought to herself.

"That Keith deserved what he wanted for Christmas she just did not understand how she could be the one to do that."

Peyton went home about an hour after that she could not work any longer. When the plane landed they went to Peyton office but she was not there. Peyton's assistant told them she had left to go home. So the girls got back into the limo and went to Peyton's.

Peyton tried to work from home but that was not working too well either. Peyton's doorbell rang. She got up to answer the door.

She pulled it open and she got the surprise of her life. There stood Brooke, Haley and Karen.

"Hi." "Come in what are you guys doing here?" asked Peyton.

They walked in and they all hugged each other.

"We are here to talk to you about coming home and talking to Lucas." "Peyton he responds when someone talks about you all of his vital sign." Karen told Peyton.

"Why me all of a sudden?" "Lucas and I have not been together for years." stated Peyton.

"P Sawyer it has always been you; I know it, they know it, the only one who has a problem is you and you know you know it also." Brooke told her.

"Peyton you have so many people that miss you." "You need to come home where you belong." Haley told her.

"Peyton little Keith already knows about you, that you are his Aunt and a good friend of his daddy's." "He wants to meet you." Karen said.

Peyton's doorbell rang again. This time a man was standing there asking her if she was Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. She told him yes. He handed her an envelope.

"Ms. Sawyer you have been summoned to appear at Lindsey Evelyn Strauss-Scott's reading of her will." "On the twenty-fifth of this month." the man said and then he left.

Peyton stood there in shock. She then opened the envelope and read what it said.

"That is in two days." "I guess I have no choice but to go back with you guys." Peyton said.

Later that night as Peyton was packing she could not help but wonder what this was all about. Why would Lindsey of all people want her at the reading of her will.
