Episode 1 Ch.4 I Don't Want to Be

"I never thought that I would be pregnant and giving my baby up for adoption. This isn't how things should be." Elizabeth sat on the couch and rubbed her stomach.

"You've been through a lot baby. I'm sorry."

Elizabeth was walking to her car after a late night studying at the library. It was really dark, and Elizabeth didn't even realize what was going on until after it was happening.

A guy dressed in black came from around the other side of her car. He forced her by gun point to open the backseat of her car, and he pushed her in.

"This won't hurt me at all." He said before he started ripping her clothes off.

It was the worst night of her life. She had bruisings and scrapes all over her body after he was finished.

One month later she found out that she was pregnant. She finally told her mom what happened and both Lucas and Peyton agreed that they should keep this a secret so Elizabeth wouldn't have to go through all the pain of people talking about her.

Peyton didn't want that for her and neither did Lucas. Elizabeth agreed. She didn't know how she would be able to raise a child that would remind her of that dreadful night every single day.

"What if I'm making a mistake?"

"What do you mean sweetheart?"

"What if I am the best person to raise this baby?"

Peyton rubbed her shoulder. "That is up to you Elizabeth. If you want to raise this baby then I am one hundred percent behind you."

"I know that, but I'm not sure what I want."

Peyton hugged her daughter. She knew all of this was hard on her daughter. She wished that she could make it better for her.

"What about Noah?"

"Noah isn't in the picture. I haven't heard from him since I broke up with him six months ago. I guess he got the picture."

Elizabeth missed him every single day, but she didn't want him to know that she had been raped. It was just way too much to handle.

Daniel and Michelle are at the café. "Thanks for lunch mom."

"No problem sweetheart. What's on your mind?"

Daniel pulled out one of the sleaze magazines. "She's on the cover."

"Wow…"

"Yeah…I can't believe how much she changed. I guess the fame got to her."

"Maybe she needs you to save her like she saved you. You are a different man because of Isabella. She just needs to remember why the two of you fell in love."

Daniel nodded his head. He didn't really know why they didn't make it. He never stopped loving her.

Isabella and her new boyfriend Cliff are lying in bed.

"Wow…you may be young, but you are damn good at this."

Isabella smiled. "I think I learned that from you."

He kissed her. "You are an amazing woman Isabella. I'm so proud of how famous you are becoming."

"That's because of you." She wasn't really becoming famous for the reasons that she thought she would.

"Yeah well you were the smart one that ditched your mom and made the right decision. I told you that you should have never been working for Clothes over Bros…You were made for better things. I always knew that."

He kissed her again. "We are going to do great things together Isabella Adams."

"I just kind of wish things were better between my mom and me."

"You don't need her. You never did."

Brooke went home to find the house empty. She was going to have a break for just a little while.

"Brooke…Brooke…" Hunter said as he walked into the house.

"I'm right here." There goes her break. "What's wrong? Did McKenzie go into labor?"

"No, but I need your help."

"What's going on?"

"I need your help. I want to fight McKenzie for custody of our child."

Brooke looked confused.

"She wants to give the baby up for adoption, but I want to raise our baby, and I'll do it without her."

Brooke couldn't believe that Hunter wanted to raise his child. That was supposed to be something the mother did not the father.

Jamie and Breanne are at her house playing on the floor with Carter. "I like playing bocks."

"Yeah we like playing blocks too." Jamie told the little boy that he considered to be his son.

"Knock, knock," they heard a voice come from the door. Jacey walked in holding hands with a tall beautiful brunette brown eyed man. "Hey guys…"

"Aunt Jacey," Carter screamed and ran into her arms.

"I missed you little man."

"I missed you too."

Jamie and Breanne just looked at each other. They were surprised to see her.

Peyton is hugging Elizabeth goodbye. "I hate leaving."

"I know, but you need to go home to dad. I'll be fine."

"I'll be here in seconds if you need me."

"I know mom, but I'm gonna be okay. I'll just be ready to get back to my life."

"I know baby girl…" Peyton hugged her again.

"Tell daddy I love him."

"He loves you too." Peyton looked at Elizabeth again and then she left.

Elizabeth walked over to the couch and sat down about five minutes later someone knocked at her door. "Mom just come in."

The person continued to knock on the door.

"I'm coming…" Elizabeth sighed. It was hard for her to get up and down. She walked to the door. She didn't know who it could be. No one knew that she was there besides her parents.

She opened the door and almost fainted when she saw Noah standing in front of her.

Lily went to the graveyard before going home. She wanted to spend sometime alone with her mom and dad. She missed them so much sometimes.

Andy walked up behind her. "I guess great minds think a like."

"Andy," She runs and hugs him.

"I am so glad that you are back. You really have been missed."

He hugs her tightly.
