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 Twenty-One: Over the Hills and Far Away
Haley was sitting in her living room on the phone with Brooke arguing with the girl.
"No, but Brooke, you said you would come over today and do my dress." Haley told her exasperated as she paced her living room floor.
Brooke sighed and cuddled into Lucas who was sleeping on the couch. "I know." Brooke whispered, careful not to wake Lucas. "But it's going to be such a nice day for us. We need just a normal day where we can pretend nothing's happened, right?"
Haley shook her head. Of course she understood but she was put out, every bride was greedy to start her wedding dress. Especially when your best friend can make your dream dress for free. "I know, I know, Brooke. Believe me. I guess I'm just really excited. I mean, the faster we get this done the faster you and Lucas can have your adult free weekend."
Brooke laughed quietly and slowly got out of Lucas' hold and sat up on the couch putting on her flip flops. "Hales we both know your going to be around." She teased as she stood up and grabbed her keys.
Haley heard the jingly of keys, and smiled proudly. "Brooke, God I love you. Have I told you that recently?" She asked her as she sat down on the couch, now calm.
Brooke gave a laugh and walked out the door quietly shutting it. "No, but better start making a habit of it."
Peyton was sitting down on the front porch of Lucas' house. She knew Brooke didn't want them alone together, but right now she needed her best friend's advice.
Soon a familiar blonde made his way towards his house with a frown on his face.
"Peyton? What are you doing here?" Lucas asked her as he put down his coffee beside her and sat down next to her.
Peyton smiled sadly and shook her head. "Honestly? I need some love advice, and I think Haley or Brooke would be the last people to try and help me with my relationship problems." She told him truthfully holding back the tears that threatened to spill out.
"What's wrong?" Lucas asked her wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"It's just, why can everything go back to normal between you and Brooke? Yet me and Jake can't even have a real conversation. God Lucas, he never even hugs me anymore." Peyton said while a tear fell from her cheek.
Lucas sighed and shook his head planting a soft kiss in her hair. "Peyton, everything is not perfect with me and Brooke. She has her trust issues and insecurities just like Jake. Difference is? I don't know, Brooke and I have been through too much together to let it all fall down now."
"And me and Jake haven't been through enough?" She asked him sitting up and out of his hold.
Lucas shook his head patiently. "I'm not saying that. It's just maybe, give Jake some space?"
Peyton sighed and shook her head violently, confused. "All's we have together is space. The only time we are in the same room is when it comes to Jenny and I just can't handle this." She told him finally breaking down and her tears coming loose.
Lucas exhaled slowly and looked at Peyton. He felt so sorry for her, he wouldn't know what to do if Brooke was treating him like that. After all, Jake wasn't even lashing out at her, just treating her like she was there.
Haley was sitting down next to Brooke at their dining room table and she had the hugest smile on her face watching as Brooke made her dress.
"I really wanna thank you for giving up the day with Lucas and helping me." Haley told her genuinely and watched as Brooke's head popped up.
Brooke smiled at Haley. "Eh, it's fine. He was probably in a broody mood today anyway. He was when he took a nap." She told her going back to drawing.
"Oh, so I'm totally making the bridesmaids dresses to." Brooke told her smiling.
Haley looked at Brooke and smiled again, would that smile ever leave her face? "Thank you, Brooke. You really are the definition of a best friend."
Brooke smiled but didn't say anything and concentrated on finishing the sketch of Haley's dress.
Haley didn't say anything either, was just silently sitting down at the table mulling over her own thoughts. She had to tell someone, she knew she could tell Brooke, she just didn't know how.
Brooke eventually put down her sketch, face down-she didn't want Haley to sneak a peak at it-, and looked at Haley seriously. "Hales, what's going on? I know something's bothering you."
Haley let out a dry laugh and shook her head. "Damn, you're real good at that."
Brooke grinned at her. "Well now you're just flattering me. Now spill."
Haley was silent a moment before whispering, "I'm pregnant."
Rachel was sitting down in her house when Cooper came in holding a nice black dress and looked slightly concerned.
"Hey, whatcha got there?" Rachel asked walking over to him and took the dress. "Oh, this is nice."
Cooper nodded and slightly grinned. "Yeah, well, I got a text from Nathan who got a call from Haley saying that there is going to be a wedding next weekend. Nathan said I'm invited and I get a plus one." He said smiling at her.
Rachel smirked and kissed him softly. "Not gonna be scared some cop is there and you're cradle-robbing me?" She teased him and brought the dress back with her into the living room.
"Well I can always say you just needed a ride, and I'm not that old. I'm twenty-five." He grumbled sitting next to her.
"Is Dan or Deb gonna be there?" She asked him as he sat down next to her and took her into his arms.
Cooper shrugged and kissed her forehead. "I don't know about Dan, but I know Deb is gonna be there."
Rachel sighed and shook her head. "I hope they don't start anything."
Cooper sighed and agreed with her. The last thing they needed was attention drawn to them, especially on his niece and nephews' day.
Brooke's mouth was open in shock. She couldn't believe what she heard, out of everything she suspected that was definitely not one of them.
"Say something." Haley pleaded with her, not liking how pale her face was.
Brooke just stared at her and then shook her head. "Are you sure? I mean, did you take a test?" She asked quietly, although they were the only two people in the apartment.
Haley nodded. "And it doesn't help I'm a month late."
"Did you go to the doctor yet?"
Haley slowly shook her head. "But I have an appointment next week, I figured if I really am, then I'll tell Nathan."
Brooke quickly shook her head. "No, no. You have to tell Nathan now and pretend you just found out. I've known him longer than you have Hales, this guy does not being kept in the dark. Believe me." Brooke said watching as Haley's face fell.
"I know, but how do I tell him? I mean, Brooke, we are seriously struggling with the money. Brooke, he's using the money Dan gave him to pay everything." Haley said sadly as she looked down.
Brooke sighed and walked over to her and gave her a hug. "Hales, trust me. It'll be better if he finds out now rather than later." She said quietly but then frowned at her and released her. "Why didn't you tell me you had money issues? You know I could get you some."
Haley shook her head. "Because, Brooke, you helped me out so much. It didn't feel right asking you for money."
"It doesn't matter, Hales. You are one of my closest friends. Trust me I could deal with being in debt to Victoria if it meant that you guys weren't struggling."
"It's not that we're struggling, not with how much money Nathan has, but it's just that, he's using his money for college to pay for everything now." Haley sighed and shook her head. "It's just not fair to him."
Brooke looked down at her and hugged her again. "Well, everything's gotta get better. It can't get any worse than it already is."
Haley shrugged and smiled a bit. "Now can I see my dress?" Haley asked excited.
Brooke sighed and shrugged walking over to her sketchbook. "I suppose so." She said and handed her the book.
Haley gasped at the sight in front of her, it was perfect. "Oh my God, Brooke." She said looking up at her with tears in her eyes.
"Oh, God those hormones." Brooke mock groaned with a small smile on her face. "But I guess I'll have to expand the waist since your going to be big as a house."
Haley shook her head with a small smile. "Nope, I want the wedding next weekend." Haley said happily.
Brooke looked down at her with wide eyes. "Do you even have it all planned? What about the decorations? Or a place to have it? And not to mention I have to make the dresses." Brooke said as if she was calculating everything in her head.
Haley grinned sheepishly. "Brooke, I've had my wedding planned since I learned how to write. And I really hope you can get the dresses done in time if not, I'll extend the wedding. I want to have it in a tent and nothing extravagant."
Brooke sighed and nodded her head and took her sketchbook away from Haley. "Well then, I better get started on making those dresses, huh?"
Haley nodded with a smile on her face. "Thanks.
Brooke grinned at her and winked at her on her way out.
Dan was walking towards the river court where he saw his son doing drills, in perfect lining.
Nathan stopped in his tracks when he saw Dan walking towards him, he frowned and stopped dribbling the ball and held it as the man walked towards him.
"What do you want?" Nathan asked when Dan was within ear shot.
Dan smirked and shrugged. "Just wondering why your mother got an invite to the wedding and I didn't." He told him neutrally.
"Well, Mom did get a plus one. So if she chooses to bring you, you won't hear any complaints from me." Nathan told him acting indifferent, although he was praying to God his mother didn't bring Dan with him.
Dan frowned at him. "I thought I taught you common courtesy and manners."
Nathan scoffed. "Yeah, right after you taught me love and affection."
Dan shrugged, it didn't hurt him. "So why didn't I get an invite?" Dan asked him frowning. "But I noticed Cooper did and he's your uncle."
"Because he's been there for me more than you have. And you know what? I actually want him there." Nathan said coldly. "So please, just leave us alone."
Dan stared at him for a moment before nodding, and talking off the river court without a word.
And that's what made Nathan uneasy.
