Part 2: Chapter 2

Brooke was in the master bedroom packing her suitcase while talking to Peyton on the phone.

"This is going to be so much fun Peyton," Brooke said. "I really need this vacation. Thank goodness I have Sophia. If she wasn't my business partner, I'd go completely crazy."

"A week here in Maine will be a good relief for your stress," Peyton said. "I also got us appointments at that hard to get into spa."

"Really?" Brooke asked.

"I got the deluxe package," Peyton said. "We will have relaxing mud baths, massages, facials, plus steam baths."

"That sounds really nice," Brooke said. "Oh, and I'm bringing the fist season DVD set of Chicago P.D."

"What is with you and that show?" Peyton asked.

"It's a great show," Brooke said. "My favorite character is Erin Lindsay. She looks just like me."

"I know," Peyton said. "It's creepy as hell."

"Shut up," Brooke said. "I am honored to look just like Sophia Bush."

"I'm so glad you're coming here today before that storm hits Tree Hill tomorrow," Peyton said.

"Me too," Brooke said. "They're cancelling all after school activities."

"That bad," Peyton said. "Well luckily for you it's going to be sunny all week in Portland."

"I'm glad," Brooke said zipping her suitcase. "Well Peyton, I'm off to the airport."

"Can't wait to see you," Peyton said.

Peyton and Brooke hung up their phones. Peyton sat down on the couch and Lucas walked into the room, and sat down next to his wife.

"Are you excited about Brooke coming to visit?" Lucas asked.

"Of course I am," Peyton replied.

"Hey, isn't today Sunday?" Lucas asked.

"Thanks for reminding me," Peyton said. "I need to move the trashcans from the curb before the stupid home owners' association complains."

"They'd probably be nicer to us if we attended their meetings," Lucas said.

"The president of the board is such a stuck up little winch," Peyton said.

"You're so nice?" Lucas said sarcastically.

Peyton got up, went outside, and moved the trashcans up the driveway. As she turned around, she was shocked to see someone she hoped she would never see again in her life. It was Ian Banks.

"Oh my god!" Peyton screamed.

Ian waved at Peyton and gave her a creepy smile. Peyton closed her eyes.

"This is not happening!" Peyton screamed.

Peyton opened her eyes to see Ian was gone. She looked around and there was no sign of him anywhere.

"Huh," Peyton said.

Lucas came running out of the house with a throw pillow.

"Peyton!" Lucas shouted. "What's wrong?"

"I thought I saw…" Peyton said. "Oh, never mind. Wait! You thought I was in trouble and you were going to save me with a throw pillow?"

"Well, at least I grabbed something," Lucas said.

"Never mind," Peyton said. "Let's go inside."

Lucas and Peyton walked inside the house. Ian came out from hiding behind Peyton's car.

"Found you Peyton," Ian said in a scary tone.
