Letters to you
Ch. 1 A year earlier
(Peyton point of view)
Lucas and I have been having some serious issues. It's been bad for a long time. I honestly thought leaving Tree Hill would bring us closer. It actually did not at all.
Now I'm making a phone call I never even imagined. I am nervous calling her. Yes she's my best friend. I just feel like we live in two different worlds now. I dialed Brooke's number and waited. It went straight to voicemail. I wasn't going to leave this on a voicemail message. Instead I just told her to call give me a call. I'm not sure if Lucas has called Nathan or Haley or even his mom.
I waited anxiously for Brooke to call me back. Sawyer was really cranky. She's only to almost 3. But the terrible twos are just exactly that. Just as we had started to eat the phone rang. I hurry to answer it.
"Hello." I said.
"PSwayer you don't sound good friend." She said in her usual cherry voice.
"Oh Brooke I'm so glad you called." I said sincerely.
"What's wrong Peyton?" she asked.
"I don't know Brooke it feels like everything is wrong." I answered her.
"Is Sawyer okay?" She asked. She seemed very concerned I knew she would be. No matter what she would always be my best friend.
"Yeah for the most part." I answered vaguely.
"Is it your cancer?" Brooke asked concerned again.
"No I'm still doing good I promise." I said smiling a little.
"Give me a hint here painting I have no idea what's going on." Brooke said.
"Lucas and I separated a couple months ago." I admitted.
"What?" She questioned in shock .
"Yeah I don't think he told anyone yet. But honestly that's not the worst part." I said .
"Okay what's the worst part?" Brooke asked seeming confused .
"Sawyer has been staying at his apartment every weekend . Dan actually showed up there." I explained.
"What happened ?" Brooke asked.
"Dan wanted to see Sawyer. He said he had a right to see his grandchild." I answered her.
"Oh crap." Brooke mumbled.
"Yeah Lucas started to beat him up. Sawyer was crying and the only thing that was the only thing to stop him." I explained.
"Then what happened?" She asked.
"One of Lucas's neighbors called the police." I said.
"Wow." Brooke said in surprise.
"Lucas is imprisoned in South Carolina." I admitted.
"For how long?" Brooke asked.
"I don't know he didn't want me there." I said.
"Have you seen him?" Brooke asked.
"He asked me not to come. I do have an address for me. I sent him some short letters and some pictures of Sawyer." I explained to her.
"Should I tell Haley?" Brooke asked.
"I don't know would you like his address?" I asked back.
"Yeah let me get a pen." Brooke answered.
Brooke and I talk for long time. It was felt good to talk to her. I missed her so much. I felt relieved for the first time in months. I was sure Lucas would be angry at me first. But I knew that Brooke could help him. I just couldn't do it anymore.
