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 Three: First Day on a Brand New Planet

Brooke Davis walked into school and walked over to her locker where Lucas was already leaning against his, his book bag over his shoulder.

She rolled her eyes as she did her combination. "You know I would think the guy for me would come to school, bring me coffee or a bagel? But nope I haven't seen you all morning." She said shrugging before doing the last number.

Lucas sighed trying not to smile, there was a reason for that. "Pretty Girl, I was busy."

Brooke rolled her eyes opening her locker but looking at Lucas. "Yeah I would imagine how busy you could be not to see your supposed love of your life."

But then she turned to her locker and froze, a smile coming onto her face. It was pink, and there were soft lights in it. There were pictures of her and Lucas all over it, and she immediately felt butterflies in her stomach when Lucas wrapped his arms around her waist resting his chin on her shoulder.

He smiled kissing the inside of her neck. "Yeah, I was really busy doing something for the love of my life."

Brooke smiled and turned around to look at him, with a huge smile on her face. "Boyfriend!" She said sweetly turning around in his arms, lacing her fingers behind his neck. "You're so sweet."

"I love you, Pretty Girl. Why wouldn't I want to do something for you?" Lucas said rubber her sides.

Brooke skin tingled where he touched. She closed her eyes enjoying his touch. "Okay Broody, I know it's the first day and school but wanna skip and go back to my place?" She asked hopefully looking up at him.

Lucas groaned as he leaned in and kissed her rubbing her exposed sides to where he shirt had ridden up. "I would love to Cheery, but we can't. You have to make a good impression on your teachers and I really need to go to practice."

Brooke sighed sadly, playing with his hair. "Is it because of Nathan?"

Lucas nodded, closing Brooke's locker and then putting an arm around her waist as he walked her to her first class. "Yeah, it's just I do get why he's pissed. I really do, but it's just that I really wanted Haley back here maybe only half as much as he did and I knew he wouldn't go out and get her so I needed to." Lucas said explaining his actions even though he shouldn't have had to, after all Brooke was the one that went with him.

Brooke nodded leaning a little closer at him. "It's okay Luke. It'll all work itself out." She said trying to make him feel better.

But he was shaking his head before she finished. "What if it won't?" He asked and when Brooke gave him an appalled look he explained quickly before she would yell at him for accusing her of being wrong. "No listen, I mean what if Haley and Nathan truly do get divorced, Ellie makes Peyton have a royal break-down and what if.." He suddenly stopped not liking his train of thought. What if he cheated on Brooke again with Peyton?

Brooke didn't think that though and she didn't ask. That was Lucas for you. Always thinking things through and sometimes he didn't want to share it, and she did learn to accept that. She was like that too.

"It's going to be alright Broody." She said stopping when they reached her class. "And now I need to go to class, and you need to go yours. I'll see you at lunch, kay?"

He nodded kissing her sweetly before walking quickly down the hall just as the first bell rang. She giggled a little as she thought of him being late on the first day.

Brooke walked into her Math class seeing the last person she ever thought would be back...

"Jake!"

Haley James-Scott was quickly walking to her first class carrying her arm bag with her. She didn't like using the locker. What if she had time to finish her homework from other classes when she got free time?

Haley was quickly walking to her Math class, which she had with Peyton. But she was kind of worried about that. The blonde hadn't made any attempt to see her or talk to her. She got that Peyton had family issues right now, but did that mean she couldn't even send a text?

Haley sighed shaking her head as she walked into her math class sitting down into a seat near the window. Haley exhaled loudly as students filed in quickly eager to get the back desks before everybody else did. Thinking about Peyton, Haley put her bag on the seat next to her.

Just before the bell rang Peyton walked in and looked at Haley, looking at the front row seats which were open and then the back seat that had Haley's bag on it, she slowly walked over to where Haley's bag was.

Haley moved her back smiling a little at Peyton and she sat down.

"Thanks." Peyton as she sat down. She opened up her sketch pad and began making the outline of the river court.

"So how have you been?" Haley asked making conversation since the teacher hadn't shown up yet. Wow bad first impression, Haley thought.

Peyton shrugged. "You know the best any girl can be having someone insert themselves into her life, when they left." Peyton said aiming it at Ellie and also Haley.

Haley winced. She knew Peyton was upset about her leaving but she didn't think that she would be this mad at her. "Listen Peyton, I am really sorry about me leaving and your mom. But I am truly sorry for leaving."

Peyton threw her pencil down onto the desk and turned sideways to look at her. "Do you have any idea what kind of a mess Nathan was? What Lucas was? They wanted you to come back so bad. And then all of a sudden Nathan gets annulment papers you signed. You really think I'd be happy to have you back?"

Haley was angry now. "No, I expected my best friend to be there for me when I got back, like Brooke."

"Well I'm not Brooke. And F.Y.I, Brooke wasn't here to watch everyone crumble because of your departure." Peyton said bitterly. How dare she compare her to Brooke!

Haley rolled her eyes chuckling a little bit. "Yeah you're not like Brooke are you? I mean she's a good friend, who doesn't go around sleeping with her best friend's boyfriend!" Haley yelled at her making the talking die down a little in the class so they could hear the brunette. "Brooke forgave you with what happened with Lucas, she forgave Lucas. And she's even okay with you two still being friends! She forgave you when you lied about Lucas having feelings for you so Brooke would step out of the picture, she kept in contact with you when you told her you had feelings for him! So don't sit here and insinuate that I'm a bad person! Because I am not, I will never be as shitty as you are, Peyton Sawyer."

Haley's speech silenced everybody, and then whispers erupted throughout the class. But Peyton sat there shocked at what Haley had told her, or yelled at her rather. But Peyton didn't respond she didn't really get a chance to as the teacher walked in moments later.

Brooke Davis was sitting at the lunch table with Nathan, while she waited for Lucas, Peyton, and Haley to come to lunch.

"Hey Nathan." Brooke said with a smile as she sat down across from him with her tray of food.

"Hey Davis. How's it goin?" Nathan asked her, he was truly happy Brooke was back. She was the only one he could really stand to be around. Except Skills and Bevin, but he could only take so much of them.

Brooke shrugged eating a french fry. "Eh, okay. How about you?" She asked him softly, noticing his eyes go down to his own tray of food.

Nathan didn't answer and Brooke reached out for his hand. "Nathan it's okay to be upset. But you need to understand Haley is hurting to." She told him.

Nathan looked back up to Brooke, knowing she had gone through something like this he asked, "How do you do it?"

Brooke looked confused tilting her head. "Do what?"

"Just forgive Lucas and Peyton? I'm sorry to bring it up but how did you just move on from it, and be with him again and be friends with Peyton again?" He asked her taking his hand back and raking it through his hair.

Brooke her hand back as well playing with her food a little, while shrugging. "I don't know, I mean. When Peyton told me they were in love with each other I just realized I shouldn't be selfish. If my two best friends wanted to be with each other what was stopping them? That's what I kept asking myself. Until I realized it was me." She told Nathan looking up at him, noticing he was staring at her.

"But how could you just forgive Lucas for cheating on you? How can you just forgive Peyton for lying and cheating on you with your boyfriend. How do I forgive Haley for leaving me?" He asked her desperate for answers.

Brooke looked at him tilting her head at him. "I don't know Nathan. It's just Peyton needed me, with everything going on in her life. She needed someone to confide in. And Lucas?" She asked with a little smile. "I love him, and as corny as it sounds, love makes you do stupid things. So is it possible that he could cheat on me again? Absolutely. Is there always going to be a little piece of me that wonders, is he cheating on me right now? When he is with Peyton? Yes. I will, but I'm taking what I can get, living in the moment." She told him. When she caught a familiar head of brown hair walking towards the vending machine she looked at Nathan. "Listen I think you need to talk to Haley about this. I can't tell you what to do. But maybe cut her some slack? I mean I know for a fact she loves you more than anything. Give her a chance."

With that she left Nathan with his thoughts, and she was hoping to God he chose to talk to Haley. Although she was pulled out of her thoughts when an arm wrapped around her shoulder.

"Hey Pretty Girl." Lucas said as he kissed her head.

"Hey, Boyfriend. How are your classes so far?" She asked as they sat down at an empty table.

He shrugged. "Okay, I guess I'm just excited for gym." Lucas said with a smile on his face. "Can't wait to see you in those little short shorts."

Brooke giggled. "Lucas Scott, behave yourself."

He gave her a sheepish grin. "Sorry."

She rolled her eyes and pushed her tray out to him, so he could eat. "You are never going to believe who is in my math class." Brooke gasped.

He frowned chewing the hot dog. "Who?" Lucas asked with his mouth full.

She frowned. "Ew, Lucas. Don't talk with you mouth full." She scolded but immediately smiled again. "Jake Jagielski!"

Lucas choked on some of his hot dog and took the water off of the tray and gulped it before coughing normally for a few minutes while Brooke just sat there watching him. "You're kidding right, oh and thanks for trying to save me."

Brooke rolled her eyes. "Please, you weren't gonna die. And no I am not! I was talking to him and he's back he with Jenny."

"What happened to Nicki?" Lucas asked curiously.

Brooke shrugged. "I don't know, I asked but he just said he didn't want to talk about it."

Lucas frowned as he watched his girlfriend pick up a french fry and eat it. "Man, Peyton is gonna flip. Does she know?"

Brooke shook her head. "No I haven't gotten a chance to tell her, I haven't seen her since the party."

Lucas nodded when Haley came up and sat down besides Lucas, across from Brooke. "Hey guys."

"Hey Tutor girl, how's it going with Nathan?" Brooke asked. Hoping that the reason she was late was because Nathan took her advice and talked to her.

"Oh." Haley rolled her eyes. "It's going alright."

"What's that mean?" Lucas questioned. "He still pissed?"

Haley nodded. "I don't know about you or me. I think he is more hurt than anything." She said honestly her brown eyes beginning to water. "It's just hard because he won't even talk to me. Which I get believe me, but it just hurts not being with him."

Brooke nodded completely understanding what she was going through. "It'll be alright Hales. He just needs time."

Haley nodded. "I just don't know how much more I can take of this."

Before either of them could answer they heard a crash and then everyone scramble to get up and see what was going on. It was near the end of the tables outside, where Nathan was sitting.

"That's where Nathan was sitting." Brooke told them, standing up and running over to the crowd. Lucas and Haley followed close behind. Lucas had a hand on Brooke's waist from behind her as she yelled. "Move people! Stop being so damn nosy! Nathan Scott get your ass out of this circle and come here!" Brooke yelled infuriated.

"Brooke calm down." Lucas whispered in her ear tightening his hold on her.

"No Lucas! I want to know what's going on." She told him defiantly.

But as they made their way through they saw who Nathan was fighting.

"Chris Keller? What the fuck is he doing here?" Brooke asked looking at Haley who had a shocked expression on her face.

Peyton Sawyer had went out for lunch at the diner, before walking home to eat. As she was walking she bumped into somebody and looked up and dropped her take-out. She frowned and exhaled hardly as she picked up the bag.

"Shit I'm sorry." The voice said, and Peyton froze. She knew that voice anywhere. She looked up and saw Jake there.

"Jake?" She whispered shakily.

He looked up and stopped trying to pick up everything, the both stood up at the same time. "Peyton, hey."

Peyton was confused. "What? How are you here, and why? I mean I thought you had to leave to get Jenny back."

Jake shrugged looking down. "Yeah I have Jenny now. And with Nicki well I don't wanna talk about it right now." He told her avoiding her eyes. "I wanna talk about you, I heard about your mom drama. How you holding up?"

Peyton sighed shrugging her shoulders as she walked slowly with him, back to the school. "I guess as okay somebody can be. My mother basically told me she gave me up because she liked drugs more then me. Oh wait she did say that." She told him sadly, she tried to sound angry. It would be better to be angry, way better.

Jake put an arm around her shoulders and rubbed her arm a little. "It'll be okay. You'll see. Everything will be back to normal soon." He told her confidently as they crossed the street.

Peyton shook her head and snorted. "You sound like Brooke."

Jake laughed. "And that itself is a scary thing." He told her and he loved the laugh she gifted him with. "Hey after school you think I could drive you home? We can hang out and Jenny misses you."

Peyton smiled, she missed that little girl too. More than anything. "I'd love to."
