After having a conversation with his mother, Lucas went to his room and slid one of his Karens Cafe hooded sweatshirts on. Grabbing his basketball from his closet, he quickly told his mom where he was going, and off he was, dribbling down the street, lit up by street lights, his hood fully pulled up. He knew that considering his heart condition ( Read more... )

Peyton stretched out luxuriously in her bed savoring the fact that this was the first Saturday morning in over a month that Brooke hadn't called an early morning cheerleading practice. She loved her best friend, but Saturdays were not meant for practicing new cheer moves. Slipping out from between her sheets and padding across the carpet, she ( Read more... )

Peyton smiled as the afternoon sun warmed her shoulders. She threw out her arms and spread out the white paper tablecloth over the long folding table she and Brooke had dug out of the garage earlier that day. As she set up chairs around the table, a thought occured to her, and she ran back inside the house and up to her room. She dug through her ( Read more... )

(Since there haven't been any posts in the last couple of days, I thought I would move us along with the ceremony. I hope this is okay with everyone.)

Everyone had already taken their seats. It was almost time. Nathan stood waiting at the alter for Haley. The music started and Peyton walked up arm in arm with Lucas. She looked beautiful ( Read more... )

Jake picked his daughter up as he began to weave his way through a group of older men and their wives, who were mingling before the wedding.

As he reached an open area of grass, he set Jenny down on the grass and handed her one of her favorite ( Read more... )

Rachel brushed back her long red hair to the side, it was beginning to irritate her after her first glass of champagne; and she wasn't planning on stopping for at least a couple more hours. She always did this at weddings. It was something she had adapted to doing at most social events, anyway. She hated it but there was a part of her that couldn't ( Read more... )

Nathan was staring at the water from the fountain, still thinking about that crazy dream he had the night before. The weirdest dream ever. He could see Haley drowning, in her wedding dress, and there was nothing he could do to save her. Nothing. The Craker Jack bracelet he had given her on their first tutoring session and some purples flowers were ( Read more... )

It was cold on the plane. Brooke looked out the window and watched as she left California far behind. This vacation from Tree Hill wasn't like the last. No drinking, few parties and even less random boys. She wanted to leave behind any traces of the old Brooke, she wasn't that girl anymore. California helped her realize what she really wanted. She ( Read more... )

Is this place dead?

Brooke packed her bag as the music filled the room. Her parents had asked her to come "home" for the break, originally, she said no but since Chris had left she felt a little lonely. Peyton was with Lucas somewhere and Haley was probably with her husband. Brooke gave a small smile as she packed a picture of her and the girls. She took a small ( Read more... )
