Chapter Three: A Tree Hill Class Reunion Part 1.

"Uncle Lucas!" The little girl yelled as Lucas opened the door.

"Chloe Scott!" He smiled catching her in a hug. "Where's your mom, dad and brothers?"

"Their coming." She smiled and a few seconds Lucas saw Jamie and Nathan walking up the path followed by Haley holding Conner.

"Hey Luke." Haley and Nathan said walking up. "You guys ready?"

"Yeah, were just waiting on Brooke and Julian. Come in." He said holding the door open.

A few minutes later Brooke and Julian had arrived with their girls.

"Are you guys sure you can handle all this?" Lucas asked.

"We'll be fine." Karen assured him.

"Its only, seven kids." Deb smiled.

"Okay, you've got all our numbers. If anything happens call us." Nathan said.

"Nothings going to happen, you guys go and be kids for the night." Deb said giving Nathan a hug.

"Sawyer knows where everything is, so if you cant find something just ask her." Peyton smiled.

"Gotcha." Karen said. "Now go and have fun."

They all kissed their kids goodbye and left for the Tree Hill High School reunion.

Walking into the high school gym, they saw a sign that said welcome back across the doors.

"Wow, this is weird." Haley said walking into the gym.

"Yeah, it is." Nathan said walking in beside her.

The Basketball gym was decorated with blue and white streamers and balloons covered the floor. The bleachers were pushed back and there was about thirty tables with six chairs at each of them. There was a stage, that someone had built at one end of the court with three microphones and a sign that said karaoke, a table full of food and a huge DJ system under the scoreboard.

"This is awesome, if our school dances were more like this, I might of came." Brooke laughed.

"Yeah, they went all out." Peyton said. "You guys ready for some karaoke?"

"How about a dance first?" Lucas asked taking her hand.

"I thought you'd never ask." She smiled.

"What do you say, Mrs. Baker, would you like to dance?" Julian turned to Brooke with a smile and asked.

"Of coarse." She smiled back as they followed behind Lucas and Peyton.

"Is there something you would like to ask me?" Haley smiled waiting for Nathan to ask her to dance.

"No, not really." He joked. "Just kidding…would you like to dance Haley James?"

"I have a better idea." She said taking his hand and leading him in the other direction.

Before Lucas, Peyton, Brooke or Julian made it to the dance floor they were stopped by a familiar face.

"Brooke! Peyton!" They both turned around to see Bevin staring back at them.

"Bevin, Hi!." Brooke smiled.

"Okay, I'm confused. Last time I saw you and Lucas, he was with Lindsay and you were with…Owen, I think that was his name."

Brooke couldn't help but laugh and looking behind her she saw Lucas laughing to. "Yeah, it's along story, but I'll give you the short version." Brooke said still giggling. "Lucas is back with Peyton, they have two kids and I'm with Julian and we have two kids."

"Oh." Bevin said still looking a little confused. "I could never really remember who was dating who in high school either, but that's great for you guys."

"Thanks." Peyton smiled.

"Oh, your welcome. Well, I'll see you guys later." She said walking off leaving Brooke, Lucas and Peyton laughing and Julian wondering who the heck that was.

Nathan took Haley's hand as they walked down the high school hallway. They walked into the tutor center, a place neither of them had been in a really long time.

"I remember that day like it was yesterday." Haley said sitting down at one of the tables.

"Yeah, me to." Nathan sighed.

"I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come and found me."

"Oh, God I was so scared. I just kept thinking what if something happened to her, what if she was hurt." He said sitting down beside her.

She took his hand once again. "That was the most horrible day."

"Yeah, I just remember saying to myself that if we got out of here, I would never let anything happen to you. That I would protect you forever." He smiled. "I wasn't scared of getting shot or dieing, all I was worried about was getting to you."

"I Love you, Nathan." She smiled.

"I Love you too." He kissed her. "Always."

"And Forever."

Lucas walked through the library doors and turned on the lights, the last time he had been in that library was when Brooke had thrown the party after the shooting.

He walked through the rows of books, past the computers and over to the bookshelf that he had found Peyton, shot in the leg.

He sat down, his back against the books, thinking about that day. That even though he was dating Brooke, he was always in love with Peyton.

"Hey Stranger." He heard her voice say.

Peyton sat down beside him, with The Unkindness of Ravens in her hand.

"Hey." He smiled. "They changed the carpet."

"Yeah, I saw that last time I was in here." She said flipping through the pages of the book.

"When were you in here?" Lucas asked looking at her.

"Oh, it was along time ago, When Haley, Brooke, Lindsey, Mia and me got looked in the library." Peyton smiled.

"I forgot about that." He laughed.

"I Love you, Lucas." She said resting her head on his shoulder.

"I Love you to Peyton." Lucas said as he kissed the top of her head.
