Curtain Call
Chapter 1
Lucas Scott had returned to his hometown of Tree Hill. Defeated. Lost and unsure if his dream of becoming a writer was nothing more than a fantasy.
He had written an unkindness which gained success at first.
But as months went on. The attention the status and draw went down.
And he slowly started to go back to being an unknown. In the shadows. Just Lucas Scott.
It was humiliating and embarrassing. He hadn't reached out to his family or his friends.
He just found himself staring at the blank screen of his laptop.
More often than not. Lacking in inspiration and purpose.
He broke out of his fog. And made his way out of his bedroom.
Through the hallway. Down the stairs. He walked over to the entryway.
And opened the door slowly. He shielded his eyes from the sun.
Footsteps slowly entered the house.
(Lucas Scott. You've been living like a hermit since you got back to town. And we've been giving you time and space.)
(But I've had enough of that. I'm you're friend. I've missed you.) Brooke said.
(My career is failing. My dreams are falling apart.)
(I'm not going to expose that to everyone who believed and supported me.) Lucas proclaimed.
The expression on Brooke's face softened. As she engulfed him into a hug.
(You're home now. You have me and all of us. We will get through this.) Brooke proclaimed.
Lucas hugged her back. Thanking her when they pulled apart.
(I want to know all about you Brooke Davis. What are you up too now?) He questioned.
As the two settled into the living room.
Brooke smiled as she looked to him.
(I brought back my childhood home. I changed it on the inside.)
(It has all the room I need. I have Clothes over bros.)
(My career is doing so well I can basically take a step back and focus on anything else.)
(Which is why I decided to do some self reflection work.)
(I want to have a baby. Become a mother. It's the perfect time.) Brooke proclaimed.
(Let me help you. I want to give you a baby. You would be the most incredible loving warm mother. Let me do this for you.)
(No strings attached of course.) Lucas insisted.
Brooke wasn't sure he was serous. But his words. The look in his eyes.
She believed him. She nodded her head in agreement.
He leaned over and kissed her. She kissed him back.
Their gazes locked on each other.
As he took her by the hand upstairs. Through the hallway.
once they were in his bedroom.
The kissing and touching began. The clothes soon came off
And their first attempt at babymaking started.
