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 Nineteen: I Slept with Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me
Brooke was lounging on her couch impatient since Lucas was at the hospital. For what she didn't have a clue, he was being to damn secretive and she didn't like it. The only thing that helped ease her mind was that Nathan said he was going with him and no he wouldn't tell her what it was for.
So no here she was impatient, worried, and scared that something could be wrong with her boyfriend. Brooke had even asked Haley what this was about and apparently she didn't know either.
Brooke's phone rang and she jumped off of the couch and ran into the kitchen to answer it. "Hello?"
"Hey, Pretty Girl." Lucas' soft voice came through the other end.
"Lucas, what's wrong you okay?" Brooke hurriedly asked into the phone, call her paranoid but when another your boyfriend goes to the hospital without telling you why then you could question.
Lucas looked over at Nathan who was driving him to Brooke's apartment. He didn't want her worrying yet when this might just be nothing. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just some physical Whitey needed." He lied to her.
Brooke breathed a sigh of relief. "Jesus, you could have just told me that instead of letting me worry."
"Yeah, sorry. It's just that it was very touchy-touchy, and I didn't want you there watching as this old guy felt me up."
Brooke laughed and shook her head. "I'd pay money to see that. Damn, Nate is a lucky boy."
"Yeah, he probably wouldn't agree. Listen, Nate's gonna drop be off at your place, alright?"
"Okay. See you soon."
Lucas hung up the phone and hated the gnawing guilt he felt about lying to her.
"So when you gonna tell her?" Nathan asked.
Lucas shrugged. "I won't need to tell her if I don't have it. I just don't want her getting worried over something that I might not have."
Nathan laughed. "Yeah and if you do have it she's gonna be pissed at you and me for not telling her about this."
Lucas smiled over at Nathan. "Well if I'm going down then you're going down with me."
Peyton was sitting in her living room feeding Jenny when Jake came back in. He looked over at Jenny and gave her a big smile before walking over to the kitchen to get a much needed cold bottle of water.
Peyton tried not to feel hurt by this, but he's been distant ever since that fight about what happened between her and Lucas...
Peyton was standing near her wall and was painting when Jake came in with an angry look on his face.
"Alright Peyton, I think I was patient enough waiting for you to tell me but you know what I guess I'll ask you. Why didn't you tell me you and Lucas kissed?" Jake asked her seeing her face go blank.
"How did you find out?" Was the first thing out of her mouth.
"Dammit it doesn't matter how I found out, why didn't you tell me? Better yet why the hell did you do it?"
Peyton shrugged and looked down feeling guilty and ashamed. She should have known this would have blown up in her face eventually.
"A shrug is all I get? No I want an answer, fuck, I deserve one." He said clenching his fists at his side.
"I don't know!" Peyton yelled at him. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry thought. And I'm never going to do it again though I swear."
Jake laughed bitterly and shook his head at her. "You know usually it's the guy that's cheating."
"Well what the hell is going on with you and Nikki?" Peyton asked him angry that he thinks he's so innocent in all of this.
"Nikki? What the hell does Nikki have anything to do with this?"
"I know you slept with her." Peyton told him.
Jake laughed and shook his head. "And how did you come up with this?"
Peyton was silent, she wasn't just about to tell him he was going through his phone when she was the one that wasn't being honest.
Jake raised his eyebrows. "No answer? Wow, something fucking new." He said before punching her door and walking out of the room.
Tears came to her eyes and she sunk down on the floor as sobs took over her body.
Peyton couldn't blame him, no she wouldn't blame him. She would be just as upset if she had found out he was kissed Brooke behind her back. But Brooke wasn't like that, Brooke would never hurt her like that.
"How is she doing today?" Jake asked sitting across from her and making faces at Jenny.
"She's good. She just woke up from her nap a little while a go. The little monster was hungry." Peyton told him, watching him interact with Jenny.
Jake nodded and looked up at Peyton and noticed how exhausted she looked, and how red her eyes were. Like she'd been crying all night.
When Jake got up to go to her bathroom to take a shower Peyton stood up quickly. "Can we talk?" She asked timidly.
Jake shook his head at her. "Not right now. I have nothing to say to you."
Haley was sitting on her couch and couldn't believe she was really planning her dream wedding. She couldn't believe she was actually getting her dream wedding. And she couldn't believe Nathan could be so sweet and actually plan this for her.
But right now she was so over-whelmed and anxious that she couldn't even think straight. It seemed so surreal that this was happening to her. Two or three months ago, she wouldn't even think that this is what she'd be doing today.
A knock on the door broke her from her thoughts and she set down the notebook and pen she had been holding on the couch. She walked to the door and yelled, "Coming!"
Haley opened the door with a smile on her face thinking it was Nathan, but that smile died when she saw who it was.
"Hi, Haley." Deb said smiling at her daughter-in-law. "Can I come in?"
Brooke smiled broadly when she heard her front door open from her living room, she ran outside quickly and was greeted with the sight of Lucas shutting the door and taking off his jacket.
"Hey, how did everything make out?" Brooke asked him as he walked to the kitchen and got a bottle of water.
Lucas shrugged and opened his water. "Like any other physical."
Brooke frowned and walked over to the counter and leaned against the counter and kinked her brow at him. "You already had your physical."
Lucas shrugged. "Just followed Whitey's orders, Brooke. Come on even though he's older he still scares me."
Brooke smirked and nodded. "Uh-huh."
Lucas smiled and put down his water and walked towards her. "Pretty Girl, stop worrying about it."
Brooke frowned at him. "Why would I be worried when I have a boyfriend who is so great at keeping things from me?" She asked as she walked to her room and slammed the door shut.
Rachel was still sleeping well into the afternoon. She spent the weekend at Cooper's new loft he had bought in Tree Hill, and every moment of it was great. Although she hated that they couldn't kiss or hold hands in public. She was all for PDA.
A hand come onto her back and began rubbing it soothingly and she smiled into the pillow.
"Mmm, good morning." Rachel said relaxed and enjoying the feel of his hands on him.
"Morning." A familiar voice said to her.
Rachel frowned, and her eyes snapped open. She slowly turned her head and saw Dan smirking down at her, now his hands were dropped back to his side and was standing up straight.
Rachel scrambled up into a sitting position with the blanket cover her chest. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I think the question is what the hell are you doing here? A minor in my brother-in-law's home?" Dan asked her smirking and shook his head. "Hell, I knew you were a slut but I didn't even think Cooper would be stupid enough to sleep with a seventeen year old."
Rachel frowned and glared at him. "And why are you breaking and entering into his loft? Because I highly doubt Cooper gave his key to you."
Dan looked at her coldly before looking away from her. "When you see Cooper tell him I want him." He told her before walking out of the bedroom without looking back.
Lucas was anxiously checking his phone, now in his own bedroom, he could actually let himself feel worried about this. Keith was worried about him getting tested for HCM. Lucas was even more nervous about it when he found out it was genetic. Obviously from Dan's side.
When his phone did ring he jumped to answer it. "Hello?"
"Hey boyfriend." Brooke's raspy voice came from the other end.
Lucas sighed, although he loved Brooke and loved talking to her, right now was just not the time. "Hey, Cheery." He said softly trying not to get to anxious over the phone, or else she would know.
Brooke smiled over the phone. "I'm sorry I got mad. I so over-reacted, and I really don't care what you went to the hospital for. As long as you're okay, which you are right?"
"Yup." Lucas said, not really considering that a lie. He might really be fine and this whole thing might be a fluke.
He heard her sigh of a relief. "Good, then come back over. Broody, I miss you." She pouted into the phone.
Lucas chuckled and shook his head. "I can't right now, alright? But I'll be over in a couple of hours."
"Fine." Brooke sighed. "I love you." She told him softly, and damn he'd never get over hearing that.
"I love you too."
Haley was sitting down at her kitchen table with Deb Scott sitting across from her, this situation was a little more than awkward. It would have been at least better if Nathan was here but he wasn't do back for another half hour.
"So, Deb. What brings you over here?" Haley asked attempting to be friendly with the woman.
Deb smiled. "Well, I heard the Nathan re-proposed and you guys are actually having a wedding. So I was wondering if you needed any help with anything I would be more than happy to pay for anything."
Haley shook her head slightly, taken back for why she was here. "Oh no, it's alright. We can handle the prices." She hoped.
"Haley, listen, you're a Scott we take care of each other. Let me help you and Nathan out. Lets face it, I wasn't the best mother or mother-in-law, think of this as an 'I'm sorry'." Deb told her frowning slightly. "But I'm better now, and I plan to keep it that way."
"For good?" Haley asked skeptically. This woman was untrustworthy and, supposedly, an ex-alcoholic. Not a very good combination.
Deb nodded and a guilty smile on her face. "I've realized how much of a mother I was, or wasn't to Nathan. And Dan is, well, Dan. Nathan had one parent who was out drinking for his entire childhood and one being entirely too aggressive with trying to get Nathan do what he wanted. He needed at least one loving parent."
"Don't you think it's a little late for that?" Haley asked tilting her head to the side and watching Deb. Something about this just wasn't making her feel comfortable, at all.
Thankfully Nathan decided to open the door and the smile that had previously vacated his face had now died.
"Mom, what the hell are you doing here?"
Rachel was nervously sitting on the sofa in Cooper's apartment sipping down a cup of coffee. Trying to shake off the feeling she had when Dan came in and was touching her while she slept. Hell he even insulted her, and he didn't even know her.
Cooper walked in with a smile on his face, wearing a dirty white tee shirt and jeans, it looked like he had some oil stains on his shirt but what brought her attention was the bag he was holding in his hands.
"Blueberry muffins?" Rachel asked smiling as he walked over to her and gave her a soft kiss.
Cooper smiled and handed her one with a napkin. "Of course." He said charmingly going into the kitchen and poured himself a cup of coffee.
"So where did you go off to you couldn't even wake me up and tell me you were leaving?" Rachel asked after taking a bit out of her muffin. She would totally regret eating it later, but right now she just wanted to be content with Cooper, especially after that creep Dan.
Cooper smirked at her as he walked into the living room with his coffee and muffin and sat down beside her. "I had to go to my garage, worked on some of my cars." He told her and took a bit of his muffin.
Rachel scoffed. "You'd rather work on cars then stay in bed with me?" She asked raising her brows at him.
"Of course not." Cooper said and kissed her softly. "I was going to have to go in sometime today, might as well been when you were sleeping."
Rachel nodded and was quiet for a couple moments just staring at her half eaten muffin. "Um, did you happen to give Dan a key to your apartment?"
Cooper shook his head frowning. "No, you're the only one with the spare key. Why?"
"Because he was here this morning." Rachel told him wincing at the stern look he got on his face.
"What do you mean here?"
Rachel sighed. "I mean, I woke up to that pervert rubbing my back. And then he told me he needed to talk to you about something."
Cooper cursed and stood up and walked into the kitchen. He spilled the coffee down the drain and threw the rest of his muffin out, and grabbed his bottle of vodka from the top cabinet and came back out with it.
Rachel laughed a little at him, and only received a blank look from Cooper.
"It's five o'clock somewhere."
Lucas jumped when his phone rang, he was so lost in his thoughts he hadn't realized his phone was ringing until it was on the last ring, and he picked it up at the last second.
"Hello, Lucas Scott, I'm Dr. Collins, I ran some tests for you a few hours ago." A deep voice said from the other side.
"Oh yeah, hi. So how am I lookin'?" Lucas asked trying not to let his worry show.
"Well," A deep sigh came from the man. "You've tested positive for HCM. But there is medication I can prescribe to you to allow you to continue playing basketball."
Lucas nodded, but the truth was he had no words for this moment. Yet, one more thing that made him just like Dan. "Alright." He said after moments of silence.
"Lucas, the important thing I want you to know is that with the right medication you can live your life like any normal young man, alright?"
"Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. Thanks." Lucas said rubbing a hand over his face, his neck aching from all the tension in his body.
"Alright, I'll call in you prescription right now and then you can pick it up in about an hour." He said before hanging up the phone and all's Lucas heard was the dial tone.
Brooke was in her kitchen making herself a sandwich for lunch. She was starving and she felt like her stomach was in danger of eating itself. In fact she couldn't remember the last time she ate, possible yesterday afternoon, but that was a big if. She could barely remember what she did yesterday.
She felt like she was constantly second guessing everything she was doing, especially Lucas. She often found herself second guessing herself about giving him another chance, but then he smiled and said, "I love you." to her and that's what made her melt every single damn time.
Brooke made herself a ham with mustard sandwich on rye bread when there was a knock on her door and then it opened and Lucas walked in shaking his hair a bit from the rain that was going on outside.
Lucas smiled at her and tried to think about how to tell her what the hell was wrong with him. He walked into the kitchen and kissed her cheek softly and took off his damp sweatshirt.
"Hey, what's going on?" Brooke asked him after she swallowed her food loudly and blushed a bit because he could hear her gulp.
Lucas chuckled and stole a small bit of her sandwich and shrugged, acting indifferent. "Just stuff." He told her trying not to let his nervousness shine through.
Brooke's mood instantly sobered. "What? What's going on?"
"So remember when I said I needed to get my physical?"
Her eyes widened. "What, is something wrong? Did they find something?"
Lucas nodded. "Listen, I didn't go to get my physical and neither did Nathan. We were getting tested."
Brooke gasped and slapped him across the face. "You thought you got fucking STD's? Who the hell has Peyton been sleeping with besides you?" She yelled at him as she angrily walked out of the room.
Lucas stood there shocked and his hand holding his now burning cheek. "No, Brooke. Stop, I didn't sleep with Peyton." He told her calmly and walked after her into the living room. He hoping that it would keep this situation from escalating.
She scoffed and laughed. "Yeah, okay. God you are such a slut, Lucas. God dammit, can you not keep it in your pants? And where the hell has Peyton been to make you second guess her?" Brooke asked feeling tears sting her eyes but she kept blinking hoping to hold them back.
"No, Pretty Girl, stop. Listen to me, I went to the hospital with Nathan. The day before that I spent it with you, and this past week I've been spending with my mom and Keith." Lucas told her frowning down at her as he held onto her arms gently.
Brooke looked up at him and raised her brows. "So why did you get tested? You doubt me so much?" She asked sadly. She really thought Lucas knew her better than that.
Lucas shook his head and laughed a bit. "No, Brooke. I didn't get tested for that, at all." He told her and kissed her softly. "Not even close."
"Then what?"
Lucas sighed and shook his head. "HCM."
Brooke frowned up at him. "Huh?"
"It's a disease that affects the muscles around my heart, it can harden itself and I could be in big trouble." He told her quietly as he rested his forehead against her's, just needing comfort.
Brooke frowned, as more tears made their way to her eyes. "I don't understand. Are you saying you can like die from this? Or is it just some petty bullshit?"
Lucas chuckled at how she made it sound, only Brooke Davis. "I could die from this." He told her truthfully. "But my doctor said he can prescribe me medication to take, allow me to still play basketball and have a normal life."
Brooke nodded and stared up at him with her big hazel eyes. "So you're going to be okay?"
Lucas shrugged and kissed the tip of her nose. "I should be."
"How did you even get it?" Brooke asked confused. "I mean wouldn't they have been able to find this out when you were younger?"
"It's genetic, from Dan's side. Which is why Nathan got tested for it too, and my Mom didn't even realize I could have it until Keith brought it up."
Brooke frowned and shook her head as her hands made their way to his stomach and fisted his shirt into her fists. "You're gonna be okay though, right? You promise?"
Lucas nodded. "Yeah, I should be."
Brooke's nice mood instantly turn sour and she wrenched herself away from him. "Then why the hell didn't you tell me? I would have went with you."
Lucas sighed and shook his head, staying where he was. "I just didn't want you worrying about it if it was nothing."
Brooke sighed and she ran a hand through her hair. "Lucas, it's not nothing. We are in a relationship, whatever is bothering you, you need to tell me."
"You never do it with me." Lucas told her frowning over at her
Brooke giggled and shrugged. "Because nothing is bothering me."
"Liar."
"I only have my trust issues with you and Peyton. That's it really. And I'm working on it, but it's not just going to be able to be fixed over night, you of all people should know that."
Lucas shrugged and finally walked over towards her. "Alright, fair enough."
Cooper was walking over to Dan and Deb's house pissed off, although he wouldn't let it show. He needed to act indifferent, Cooper has known Dan Scott for a long time, and in that time he learned something critical. Never give Dan the reaction he wants, because then you're the one that gets screwed over.
He came up to the familiar house and knocked on the door and stood outside waiting for somebody to answer.
Eventually Dan answered and he smirked when he saw who it was. "Cooper, come on in." Dan said as he moved out of the way and allowed him to step inside.
Cooper smiled politely and walked into the large house, looking around after realizing how quiet it was. "Where's Deb?" He asked and followed Dan into the study where Cooper assumed he was before he had to answer the door.
"Oh, she's with Haley and Nathan. Trying to be a good mother now even though everybody knows she never will be." Dan chuckled and brought down a bottle of scotch. "Want some?"
Cooper shook his head. "No thanks, I'm good."
Dan shrugged and poured himself a glass and looked up at Cooper wickedly. "So the slut told you that I wanted you?"
Cooper's fist clenched at his side but remained stoic, he shrugged. "Mentioned it to me when I got back from the garage."
Dan nodded and took a swig of his drink. "So, the real reason you're here is because of Keith."
Cooper's heart pounded against his chest, so loud he thought it would explode. "Yeah, what about him? He's gonna be fine, Rachel told me."
Dan smirked over at him, giving him a knowing look. "Really? And how does Rachel know?" He asked as if to only humor Cooper.
"Her friend Mouth was at the hospital because his friend was shot. He called her about Keith last night."
Dan slammed his now empty glass down onto his desk. "Cut the bullshit. I know you were there."
Cooper inhaled quickly and looked at Dan he didn't have any words, but of course Dan knew he saw everything. Because Dan just knew fucking everything.
Peyton sat by herself with Jenny in the living room. Jenny and her were cuddling on the couch watching Mickey Mouse, while Jake was upstairs showering. Everything was tense and awkward. The only time they ever seemed to converse normally was when Jenny was with them, and that was only because Jake didn't want their situation ruining Jenny and Peyton's relationship. Which Peyton was so thankful for, this little girl might as well be her own.
She heard steps come down the stairs and she looked over and saw Jake standing there looked at a now sleeping Jenny.
"She out long?" He asked her and sat down on the recliner.
Peyton shrugged and rubbed the baby's cheek gently. "I don't know, maybe ten or fifteen minutes?"
Jake nodded and stretched to get the remote from the center table and changed the channel.
It was silent after that until Peyton had enough. She carefully sat up and put a pink blanket over the sleeping baby and then looked over at Jake.
"Why are you being like this, when Brooke and Lucas seem like they can just brush it under the rug?" Peyton finally asked the question that seemed to always be on her mind.
Jake scoffed and look at her. "That's beyond me. If this were the first time it happened I probably would do this a lot easier. But there's obviously something between you and Lucas."
Peyton looked down feeling a little pang in her chest, but he wasn't the one she meant to spend the rest of her life with. She loved him, yes. But it just didn't feel the same anymore.
"So, I'm right." Jake said nodding and taking her silence as confirmation.
Peyton's head snapped up at him with wide eyes. "No, there is nothing between me and Lucas. Nothing at all."
Jake shrugged and was silent after that.
Well this conversation went well...
Haley and Nathan were now sitting on the couch looking at Deb in conflict with themselves. She seemed earnest in what she was saying, but the woman could be very manipulative and decisive.
"So you just want to help us with the wedding?" Nathan asked her frowning.
Deb nodded with a small smile. "Yes, I would."
"Even if Dan questioned what you were spending the money?" Haley asked her, knowing if Dan knew why she was spending all this money he probably wouldn't approve of it.
Deb shrugged. "What I do with my own money is up too me."
Haley and Nathan both looked at each other, looking at each other as if looking for the answers. Then Haley shrugged, it was Nathan's mother. He should be able to choose if he wanted her to help with the wedding and be in their lives.
Nathan sighed and looked at his mother who was staring at him hopefully. "Alright, we'd love to have your help."
Deb smiled and got up and hugged and kissed Nathan and hugged Haley. "Thank you." She told them truly grateful she was given another chance.
Deb Scott wanted her family back.
