Chapter Nine: To Wish Impossible Things
It's been a two weeks since Lucas and Brooke's wedding, for the past two weeks they spent a beautiful few weeks in the exotic Bora Bora. Brooke loved it there, she didn't want to go home. It was perfect Lucas, Brooke, Davis and Jude who were now seven months old.
"Ah, Bora Bora is beautiful. I swear I don't want to go home anymore, I swear can't you, me and our babies move here to this beautiful exotic island." Brooke said relaxing as on the beach as the sun hit her body. She was going for that 'Sun kissed glow' look.
"There's no magical place like Tree Hill."
"Yeah. That's true, but I'm going to miss this place you know? We've been here for a drama free two weeks, but I got to admit I miss Jamie, Hales, Nate and my best friend P. Sawyer as well as my goddaughter Anna."
"I'm going to go pack, so I'll see you in a bit." Lucas replied; kissing her cheek.
Haley stood in her bathroom and tried everything to get the dye out, her bathroom was filled with hair accessories.
"Woah, did the bathroom explode?" Nathan asked.
"Haha, very funny boyfriend."
"So do you sunshine. There's something I have to tell you." He answered; as the smile faded away.
"Um okay? What is it Nathan?" Haley asked taking a seat on her bed.
"Well I don't know how to tell you this but-"
—"If you planning on propsing to me I'm flattered but I'm not ready yet." She interrupted him.
"What no, I don't want to get married, and have kids for years." He told her
"Oh." Is all that Haley could say.
"No, I mean it's not that I don't plan or want to marry you it's just..." He stuttered.
"A-huh, finish what you were saying." She asked him.
"Okay so my next few games are in Seattle." He said.
"Oh wow, Nathan that's um great I guess?"
"Yeah, and the good part to this is that I want James and you to come along with me. Please say you'll do it, because I love you Haley James."
"Seattle, but that's all the way across the country. Nathan I have things to do here. I have to run a café, because Karen's out sick. I have a Five Year old to raise, I have to get my University degree. Besides James has school, his friends and Clay." He explained to him.
"Yeah. But there's school's in Seattle. Hales come on, don't you think the kid would enjoy it. How often do you get to look back and saw wow I went to Seattle?. This is a one time chance, and I want to spend it with the two most important people to me. So come Hales, what do ya say?"
"What I say is that I need more time. How long are you going for?" she asked standing up
"Four or Five months, and I know it's alot to process, "but I already bought three plane tickets."
"four or five months?!" She told him.
"It's contract season. There were a year or 2 year contracts. This is the only one that was in months, I took it so I don't have to be away from you those 2 years. I would give up a whole other life for you Haley, you know that."
"Yeah. But I don't want to keep you from your dream."
"Just think about it please" he said laying the plane tickets on her dresser and kissed her and left.
The sunlight radiated off the shimmering blue ocean and the beach looked more beautiful than ever, which only depressed Brooke more. Everything seemed to be persuading her to stay in Bora Bora; the beautiful beaches, the boy holding her hand and most importantly, her heart.
As they walked along the beach to Brooke's car hand in hand, Brooke couldn't help but lean her head against his arm.
The drive to the airport didn't feel like their last ride together, everything seemed to happen like usual. They played Lucas's car radio too loud, at Davis and Jude's request. He hated pop music, he was more of an indie guy but after years of being Alex's best friend he knew every popular new song, hence why he was joining in with the singing right now, even if he was out of tune.
"You have my heart,And we'll never be worlds apart. Maybe in magazines, But you'll still be my star. Baby 'cause in the dark, you can't see shiny cars, and that's when you need me there, with you I'll always share. You can stand under my umbrella(Ella Ella eh eh eh).
They finished the last word of the song before laughing at their over the top singing.
Brooke turned to Lucas "We should do this more often. And then you and I can head off oh I don't know the bedroom and make more babies, "What do you say Lucas Eugene Scott?" Brooke asked.
"Oh I say hell yes." He smirked.
Airports are a funny thing. On one side, there are people smiling and wrapping others up into their arms as they welcomed their loved ones back home. So much love could clearly be seen in every area of the room.
The same could be said for the other side of the airport; departures. Love was still present amongst the people there but instead of smiles and hugs of welcome, there were tears and hugs portraying desperate goodbyes and not wanting to let go of the loved ones in their for Brooke and Lucas, this was where they were stood.
Brooke found the Welcome to Tree Hill sign, and a smile took over her face. "Hey, cheery you ready to go home?" Lucas asked approaching behind her.
"Uh what yeah. I'm just going to miss Bora Bora, but as they say there's no place like home, and they my friend are right."
"Now boarding flight number XY783Z to Tree Hill, North Carolina. That's flight number..."
The flight attendant's voice echoed through the airport over the tanoy as she called out Brooke's and Lucas's plane.
"I guess we should go?" he asked.
"Yep." She smiled as she leaned into him.
Peyton was in shock after seeing something Julian had kept from her for a little over a month. It's not like Peyton Sawyer was snooping, she was looking for something. And came across this.
"I can't believe this." Peyton said. Without noticing Haley entered.
"Can't believe what?" Haley asked.
"This!" Peyton replied holding up the envelope.
Haley took the envelope Peyton was holding and read it, shock filled her face.
"Peyton I'm so sorry." Haley answered symmpthically.
"I never thought that this would happen you know?" Peyton said crying.
"I came to talk to you about my problems, but you clearly have more important problems. Did you talk to Julian about this?"
"Yeah. He said he know about this a little over a month, and I find this in our utensils drawer." she explained.
"come here." Haley said hugging Peyton. "It's going to be okay. Your strong P. Sawyer nothing can bring you down."
"Thanks." She said sniffling. "Now what's going on with you."
"Nathan came by and we started talking; he said something similar like if he was going to propse to me. He said no, no no I don't want to get married and have kids for years, that made me think I'm just another girlfriend of Nathan Scott. And on top of that he asked me and Jamie to move to Seattle with him for Four- five months, to watch his basketball games. I'm torn you know? I wanna go, but then I don't wanna go." Haley explained.
"Haley that's great. Trust me Hales, the man loves you and Jamie, and wants you guys to be together like one big family. What's holding you back here?" She asked.
"The café, being a single parent raising a five year old, still having to graduate from University. Tree Hill's home."
"Haley Nathan would gibe up a whole other life for you. He loves you Haley. Okay I'll take your job for now at the café. Besides you never said you were going to stay forever."
"I know and I love him too. It's just I don't want to break his heart and not go, and Clay needs to see Jamie, and I can't ask you to do that Peyton, you already have a lot going on." Haley said.
"It will help to keep me occupied, and forget about this. Haley take some chances. Your 23 years old, you have enough time to worry about things, but you need to focus on is the guy who makes your world turn, just asked you to move to Seattle for four months,live a little. Haley, you're a good person, a kick-ass mom, but...sometimes you're your own biggest enemy. You're twenty-three. You have your whole life ahead of you. You have this awesome dude at the airport who loves you! God, you have to go. You have explained.
"I guess your right."
Nathan sat in the airport chair waiting for Haley to arrive. Haley came in a few minute. later tapping the two plane tickets in the palm of her hand.
"I knew you would come." Nathan said; just before Haley handed him the two plane tickets.
"Your not coming?" Nathan sadly said
"I have a life here, and Jamie has her life here"
"It's okay" Nathan simply told her heartbroken
"It's not okay, and it doesn't, I mean" Haley said.
" Haley It's okay. If this were a movie, it would end different. But life's not a movie. I guess that makes one film that didn't work out. Goodbye, Haley James."
"I can't wait to get home." Brooke said getting ready to take off.
Suddenly the plane wouldn't move. "Hello, it's your pilot speaking we've been experiencing some technical difficulty. It may take a while."
"I think you just jinx the plane Brooke."
"Stupid, plane theory."
