I DON'T OWN ANYTHING SO DON'T SUE ME I'M JUST TELLING EVERYBODY HOW THIS SHOW SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED SINCE SEASON 3 & BEYOND
One Tree Hill
My Version of Season 3... But when Brooke comes back she doesn't just 'date' Lucas she wants to just be friends with him... Why? Because during the summer Peyton talked to her telling her she had major feelings for Lucas. So Brooke immediately put her feelings aside so Peyton and Lucas could be together. But Peyton has been telling Brooke that she knows Lucas has feelings for her so that way Brooke wouldn't think that Lucas wanted to be with her anymore. Lucas has tried contacting Brooke but can't get through, while busy helping Peyton with finding her birth mother. Haley James-Scott is back in town and Chris Keller has followed her! Brooke and Haley are now living together and Nathan is having a hard time adjusting to having his wife back. Meanwhile a certain face that everybody thought was gone shows back up again...

Chapter Two: From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea
Peyton Sawyer was sleeping when she heard a loud thump and then a loud curse. Peyton sat up and looked over and saw Brooke with a sewing machine sucking on her thumb frowning. Until she saw Peyton was up.
"Peyton! Guess what your best friend is making you for the bonfire?" Brooke asked rhetorically and didn't give Peyton enough time to answer. "I am making you a totally sexy bikini that will drive Lucas insane for you!" She told her with a big smile.
What a great way to start my morning...Peyton thought. Waking up with guilt and going to sleep with guilt. Did the cycle ever end?
Peyton sighed as she stood up from her bed. "Listen Brooke. I don't think I wanna go to the bonfire. It's just everything with Ellie is really taxing and I feel like I won't be having that much fun."
Brooke frowned, and then pouted. "P. Sawyer! You have to for the reason you just said. You need to get your mind off of Ellie and on to some Lucas Scott lovin!" Brooke told her jokingly.
Peyton sighed and shrugged. "Peyton listen don't start pulling away from everyone. Especially Lucas. You love him so much, and if you push him away you could really hurt him." Brooke told her quietly looking at her.
"Fine." Peyton caved after minutes of silence. "I'll go but I'll DJ, I'll get my records and I'll do the music."
"Okay P. Sawyer, happy dreaming!" Brooke said as she ran out of the room.
Peyton rolled her eyes and laid back down in her bed and went back to bed.
Nathan Scott was at the river court that morning. He had a lot of stress with Haley and Lucas on his shoulders.
He just made a basket when he saw Lucas standing there, hands in pocket. Just watching. He was pissed at Lucas, he left to get Haley to come back when he should have left it alone and worked on his own goddamn relationship with Brooke.
"Hey, you're back." Lucas said walking on to the court.
"Maybe, maybe you're just seeing things." Nathan told him, rolling the ball around in his hand as he looked at Lucas.
"So I guess you're still pissed at me?" Lucas asked. "Personally I think it's shit, but you tell me are we friends?" He said starting to get annoyed.
"Tell you what." Nathan started. "Play you for it. First to eleven." At the looked of shock on Lucas' face Nathan threw the ball at Lucas who caught it. "You in or out?"
Lucas shook his head but got into position and then proceeded to play it Nathan's way. Nathan won.
Nathan didn't say anything after he made his last shot. He just threw the ball at Lucas and said, "Game." And walked off the court, leaving Lucas alone. Without his brother or friend back.
Brooke Davis walked into the bedroom where Haley was sitting on her bed. "Morning." Brooke told her handing her a cup of coffee.
"Morning." Haley replied drinking her coffee.
"How'd you sleep?" Brooke asked.
Haley looked up at her frowning. "With the six feet of room you gave me? Great." She told her sarcastically rolling her neck.
"Good." Brooke said with a teasing smile on her face, but then noticed the wedding ring on Haley's finger. "Great idea."
"What?"
"Wearing you're wedding ring. Guys are gonna be all over you cause of that I should get one and wear it for the night." Brooke told her sitting down on her own bed.
"I just need one guy to be all over me." Haley told her looking down at her coffee.
"Why? Do you have a new guy?" Brooke asked quickly.
"What? No, for Nathan, Brooke." Haley told her like she should have known.
"Oh, I see. But, about him I notice you haven't unpacked... A little naive, don't you think?" Brooke asked her.
"No, no I'm just stalling. I mean it's like if I unpack my split with Nathan will be real and I don't want that yet." Haley told her truthfully.
"I hate to say it but it already is real." Brooke told her softly.
"Yeah, I know." Haley whispered.
Immediately Brooke got alarmed when Haley closed her eyes and went to lay back on the bed. "No, no okay none of that. Come here I have a surprise for you. Come on, come on this will be fun." Brooke told her leading her out of the bedroom.
She led her to the newly decorated living room. With colors, new curtains, new kitchen set, new furniture, and everything was painted.
"Woah! This is amazing." Haley told her. "When did you do this?"
"Last night while you were sleeping." Brooke said but then frowned looking at Haley while Haley kept looking everywhere in awe. "You totally sleep like a dead person."
Haley hit her arm. "Shut up, but this looks awesome."
Brooke smiled. "Thanks, by the way I'm gonna need next month's rent, now because I sorta spent my money on...everything you see."
"Yeah sure, although you don't have to ask. I mean we're roommates now we can go half." Haley told her smiling.
Brooke nodded. "Well good I'd hope you'd say that because I kind of hate half of you chunky chocolate ice cream last night, while I was hanging the wall mural." She said sheepishly.
"Where'd you get it anyway?" Haley said, about the mural.
"The freezer?" Brooke said slowly.
"No, the mural." Haley told her rolling her eyes.
"Oh Peyton made it." Brooke told her looking at it.
"Oh wow Peyton." Haley told her shaking her head. "I haven't talked to her in forever. Lucas filled me in on her mom situation what the hell?"
"Yeah the mom situation is on high alert right now, cause Mama Ellie is back in town." Brooke told her.
"So how is Peyton taking it?" Haley asked her.
Brooke shrugged. "Well..." Then her computer made a sound and Brooke went by her computer. "There she is now. She's making flyers for tonight so I can hang them around town." She told her happily then in a bitchy tone looked over at Haley who followed her into the kitchen where her laptop was on the counter. "Speaking of which, you are not allowed to sulk tonight."
"I do not sulk!" Haley tried to defend herself.
Brooke rolled her eyes. "Yes you do. You are a sulker."
But then she saw the depressing flyer. It was dark and disturbing. "Well you asked how she was taking it?" Brooke asked Haley who stared at the screen in shock. "There you go."
Peyton Sawyer was sitting in the café where she saw Elli come in. She picked up her stuff and quickly sat across from her.
"Hello Peyton." Ellie said with a smile. "Last time I saw you, you slammed a door in my face."
"Let's get right to the tale." Peyton told her, and when Ellie cocked her head in confusion Peyton explained. "The heart-wrenching story of how a woman had to part with the daughter she loved."
Ellie shrugged. "Not so heart-wrenching. I was young, and pregnant. And I liked drugs more then I liked you. That's it. But I'm a different person now Peyton. Those decisions are mine and they always will be. I can't say I regret it, because I'm glad to say I am a parent who had a daughter turn out like you."
Peyton was confused. "So what? You come now. To see what you're daughter has become? To crawl out of your whole and make a kind of peace with yourself?"
"For what it's worth I cam out of my whole a long time ago." Ellie told Peyton, and at her disbelieving look she went into detail. "You used to sit under the bridge. With a brunette girl who wore to much eye make-up for a ten year old. I wanted to see you but your father didn't want you to see me." Ellie told her truthfully.
Peyton didn't say anything more, but she felt tears burning in her eyes and walked out of the café.
Lucas Scott walked into a completely new apartment. And he stopped when he saw Brooke making herself a cup of coffee and then she looked up at him.
"1972, they want their furniture back." Lucas joked trying to ease the tension.
She stared at him. "Ha-ha. Funny at least everything matches here unlike your grimy old room." She told him. "Listen if you're looking for Haley she's not here, she wanted to take a walk clear her head and sulk about Nathan before tonight."
Lucas nodded. "Well as much as I was worried about her I cam here looking for you." He told her walking into the kitchen.
"And what did you need me for?" Brooke asked casually ignoring the beating of her heart. She knew what Peyton would feel if she knew her and Lucas were alone together, and she didn't want her best friend to ever feel that way.
"I wanted to talk." Lucas told her. "I was talking to Haley about this, and I wanna know. Who exactly told you I feelings for Peyton?"
Brooke looked up at him then. "Haley! That witch, she was not supposed to break girl code!"
Lucas put a hand on her arm. "Calm down, it's me. I'm like her best guy friend. Technically it's not breaking girl code cause I'm not her boyfriend."
Brooke looked at him, not answering either of his questions. "I think you should go. Peyton is really upset about her family issues and she needs you right now."
"Yeah well you need me right now." Lucas told her taking her hand and leading her to the couch and then sitting next to her.
"What do I need you for? I'm fine, see?" She said smiling and pointing.
"Brooke." He said. "Who told you I had feelings for Peyton?"
She sighed. "Well you did when I found out everything. Obviously you have feelings for her if you did that to me. Who you supposedly loved, and Peyton told me."
Lucas was silent a couple minutes, he felt more guilty than anybody could imagine for what he did to Brooke. Maybe he did have feelings for Peyton, but that was more of curiosity of how it could be like with her.
"Brooke I am more sorry then you could every possible know about what I did to you. And I won't lie. I thought, I thought I had feelings for Peyton and that's why I did it. I know it's no excuse it's just. She's so broken. And I like to fill in the superman shoes." He told her quietly, but then raised his voice. "Peyton told you I had feelings for her?"
Brooke nodded at him staring into his blue eyes. "She told me and that's why I want to be friends with you Luke I really do. She's my best friend. I don't want her boyfriend and her best friend not friends."
"What? Brooke no." He told her quickly putting his hand on her cheek. "I don't like Peyton. Not at all. And why she told you that is beyond me. I love you, Pretty Girl. I always will."
Brooke stared at him and he started leaning in and God help her she was leaning forward. When Peyton came into the living room.
Peyton Sawyer was walking quickly to her best friend's apartment. She needed to talk to Brooke about all of this. She needed to talk to somebody, and Brooke would help her the best way she could.
She finally made it to the door and with a sigh of relief she opened it.
Peyton froze at what she saw. Brooke and Lucas were almost kissed. Did she feel her heart break a little? Sure but not as much as she thought she would...
"Peyton!" Brooke yelled standing up, she was about to defend herself when she realized what Lucas did say. He didn't have any feelings for Peyton, Peyton just told her that. Why? She didn't know.
"Hey, Brooke. Lucas." She nodded in his direction. Okay why was this so awkward? Oh she knew because she had to pretend Lucas was in love with her when he was almost kissing Brooke.
"Peyton, question for you." Lucas said walking over towards her. "Why tell Brooke I have feelings for you, when I love her?"
Brooke, though she wanted to hear the answer, she could tell it was not the time to do this. Peyton looked trouble and it probably had Ellie written all over her. "Lucas, now's might no be the right time." She told him softly tugging on his arm.
"No, now's a perfect time." He said looking at Peyton.
Peyton opened and closed her mouth not knowing what to say, and then opting for. "I wanted Brooke to be able to move on. So I thought if I told her you were into me, she would start hooking up again. But she didn't." Peyton said, semi-truthful.
Brooke was mad, really mad. She was only this mad when she found out Lucas had cheated on her with Peyton but as much as she wanted to lash out she didn't. She simply said, "Lucas I'll see you later. I want to talk to Peyton."
Lucas looked at her and raised a brow questionably. She just shrugged. "We'll talk later."
Lucas kissed Brooke on the cheek and without a glance towards Peyton he left.
"Brooke, listen I am so sorry." Peyton began, but stopped when she saw Brooke shaking her head. "You're shaking your head, why?" Peyton asked.
"Because, you came here to tell me something was bothering you. And it's Hoes over Bros, right? So tell me what happened?" Brooke asked sitting on the couch patting the spot next to her.
Peyton was shocked but did as Brooke asked. "It's just, Ellie tried seeing me before, after my mom died, and my dad wouldn't let her. I totally see where he is coming from but why not let me see my real mother? Why was is his decision? And she didn't try to give up the drugs for me, she gave me away because she liked drugs more than me! I mean, how can a parent say that to their child?"
Brooke shook her head playing with Peyton's hair. "P. Sawyer, I think you just need to relax, okay? This much stress on one person cannot end well."
Peyton shook her head tears falling out of her eyes. "No I deserve this! I mean I hurt my best friend, with a guy she really likes and they break up because of it. And then I tell her that he likes me because I wanted her to back off! I wanted Lucas to belong to me! I knew that when I told her that she wouldn't do anything to hurt me, and that made me feel real shitty." She told Brooke.
But Brooke didn't say anything. "I want to be mad." She finally said. "But I can't. I know why to, it's because I know how Lucas can make you feel. He innocently leads girls on without meaning to because he is a good person. And with your family? You don't deserve this. Don't ever say that. You don't and you will over come this. Like you over come anything else that gets in your way." Brooke told her wrapping an arm around her.
Peyton shook her head but didn't say more, just sobbing.
Haley James-Scott was sitting at the Bon Fire with Lucas. With her arms resting on her knees, Lucas sitting next to her with an arm around her.
"It'll be okay." Lucas told her softly. "Nathan will come around."
But she was already shaking her head. "I practically shoved in his face that I was going to be here and I wanted him to be here. So bad." She said.
Lucas nodded. "It'll get better." He told her but honestly he didn't know, with how Nathan was acting. Things were unpredictable right now.
She sighed but then she saw a familiar brunette walking amongst the crowd with drink in hand. "Oh Luke, I'm sorry. I completely forgot about your love triangle." Haley told him.
"There is no triangle, Peyton is just jealous." Lucas said bitterly.
Haley looked shocked. "Wait what? What's going on?"
"Peyton called Brooke some time in the summer and told her she had feelings for me, but then so Brooke could move on, she told Brooke that I had feelings for her." Lucas told her.
Haley was still shocked. That didn't sound like the Peyton she knew. "But Lucas how do you feel about Peyton?" She asked quietly.
"I love her." He told Haley and at her outrageous look he quickly said, "Like I love you. Like she is my sister."
Haley felt a little better about that but still one question lingered in her head... "How do you feel about Brooke?"
Lucas smiled as he thought about Brooke. "She's everything to me. How I lost her twice...I can't even imagine my life without her. When she left and she didn't tell me she loved me back, I swear I could feel my heart breaking. It sucked. Worst feeling of my life."
Haley smiled at the brunette who stopped to listen. "Looks like you got someone to talk to." She said to Lucas as she shouldered him gently.
Lucas nodded looking behind him. But then he looked over to the pier, and saw Nathan standing leaning against the railing. "You too." He said nodding his head towards the pier.
She smiled softly and nodded they both got up. "Well, Mr. Scott I hope everything goes swimmingly."
Lucas chuckled and gave her a hug before pulling back. "You too, Mrs. Scott."
With that he walked towards his pretty girl.
Brooke Davis was standing frozen was she watched Lucas walk over to her. Her heart skipped a beat as he got closer, and closer.
"Hey." She said fiddling with her in her hands.
"Hey, so how much did you hear?" Lucas asked.
Brooke shrugged. "A lot."
Lucas nodded. "So what happened when I left you with Peyton?" He asked genuinely curious.
"Well first it was family stuff, with Ellie." She told him looking up at him. "But then it turned into all of us, again." She said but then rolled her eyes. "I mean how is it we can never have one conversation without it being tense or awkward? Why can't all of us just hang out and we don't have to worry about who you really want!"
Lucas shook his head leaning closer to her pushing her hair behind her ear. "Brooke, you are the one I want not Peyton, not Anna, you. Don't you get that?"
Brooke shook her head. "No I don't. It seems when you're with me you want Peyton. It always leads back to Peyton. Why not just give it a shot with her, you obviously want her more then me."
"Pretty Girl, I don't want anybody more then you. How could I? You're Brooke Davis." He told her catching a glimpse of the dimples he loved. "Brooke I love you. I don't know how else to put it."
Brooke sighed. And it was silent for several minutes, but the ball was in Brooke's court. "Alright." She whispered.
"Alright?" Lucas asked excitedly.
Brooke nodded and looked at him. "Yes, Lucas but this is it. The last chance. After this I am done."
Lucas shook his head and picked Brooke up spinning her around loving her joyful laugh. He set her down gently and kissed her lips softly. "No more chances after this are needed. I'm the guy for you Brooke Davis, and I'll make you see that, Pretty Girl."
Brooke smiled and said, "I look forward to it...Boyfriend."
Lucas laughed again and kissed her passionately. When he pulled back they were both breathless and Brooke looked over his shoulder and saw Nathan and Haley hugging. "Looks like we aren't the only one's making up." She said pointing over to where Nathan and Haley were.
Lucas looked over and smiled. "Guess so, I hope it works out this time."
Brooke nodded. "Yeah I'm getting sick of Tutor Girl moping around my apartment."
He chuckled nodding. "Speaking of my apartment, it's currently empty. And you know we just made up...so wanna make-up for lost time?" She asked him seductively kinking her brow.
Lucas smiled and put his hand on her neck and chuckled. He kissed her lips, and breathed against them, "God, I love you."
Brooke pulled back with a smile on her face showing her dimples. "I love you too, Boyfriend."
