Entrance
Brooke missed Angie terribly already. She had been gone for only a few hours now but still she missed her. Missed having to be constantly attentive to another little person, missed the baby laugh, missed not being able to leave anything around...Yes, she even missed the crying. She knew Angie had gotten home fine and she imagined her parents meeting her at the airport, what they would say, how her baby would be happy to see them again. Her baby. God, how she missed her!
And she had loads of toys now which were a constant reminder of what was missing in the house. Sighing, she decided to start putting them away. She wouldn't need them again in a hurry. She found a wooden box while she was piling them up. "I don't remember buying this one" she thought, looking at the puzzle inside. She let all the other stuffed toys fall inside a carton box and went to the table. She just needed to get her mind off of Angie and decided to try working the puzzle out. "Not the best way possible but anyway..." she thought. She worked out and when she put in the last piece she saw a blinding green light. All of a sudden she wasn't in the living room of her house in Tree Hill. She was...somewhere. She didn't know where. All she knew was that whatever that place was, it was pretty cool, especially for a designer: rows and rows of clothes stood there, facing her, while shoes and bags sat on their shelves gazing down at her.
"Wow!" she said, looking around herself amazed.

	She bit her lower lips hard and extended her hand to Brooke. "Hello. Nice to meet you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled again when Layla took her hand "It's nice to meet you too" she said "So, where are we?" she asked "A minute ago I was in my house in Tree Hill and the minute after I was in a shop. What place is this?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"This place is called Here. You solved a puzzle right? Everyone solves the puzzle and puff ends up Here. Only way back is to solve another bigger puzzle. I came Here a few months ago now. Oh and Peyton is Here too. She was Here for the wedding," he said smiling at Brooke.

He looked at her and she was different somehow.

"You look different somehow," he said softly.

He looked at Layla to see how she was doing and gave her a warm smile.

	She remained inscrutable. "You should sign up for a room, if you have friends Here, you can probably ask to share a room. You'd have to ask the Manager though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Thanks" she said smiling to Layla "I'll go check if they assigned me a room already or something"
Then she turned to Lucas "Well, yeah, I did solve a puzzle. But I thought it was one of Angie's toys. Although I didn't remember buying it for her" she said as an afterthought "But when did you get Here? And you say Peyton's Here too?" she said, her face lighting up. "But how different?" she asked confused, tilting her head "I mean, I saw you like half an hour ago"

	"No, they won't have. You sign in the book and get a key for a room." "A few months ago, yeah Peyton's Here. Who's Angie?" He looked confused for a moment. "Last time I saw you was after the school shooting Brooke. I got home after and found the cube. You must be from a different time to me." He glanced at Layla to see how she was doing.

She's been here months longer then even Lucas. At least three months. Gosh, she wondered how time was moving, how long they were actually married for now? She got lost in the moment.

"Everything here is free, you just take what you want, special things, you go to Manny for and he asks for a price. Once you are Here, you have to try and find other puzzle pieces and then put it together to go back."

She replied softly, she was sort of out of it. All of Lucas' Ex's were hot and Here. She didn't know if she could handle this.

She looked puzzled "Definitely a different time. Luke, we're in 2008. That was four years ago. Lots of things happened in the meantime. And Angie, she's my baby" she said, smiling softly.
Then she heard Layla "EVERYTHING's free? Even those gorgeous clothes?" she asked amazed "I'm in heaven!" she laughed.

(OOC: I'm not sure about the date but I think I had seen 2004 as the death year of Jimmy Edwards in one of the episodes)

"You're from four years ahead of me? Wow. I bet a lot of things have happened. Four years on and the other me isn't married?" he asked with a grin.

"You have a baby? Brooke that's great," he said smiling widely.

"Yeah, everything. The clothes, food, alcohol."

He moved closer to Layla and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"You ok?" he asked in her ear, low enough that only she could hear.

	"Yeah." She answered. To Brooke, "Everyone comes here from different times and planes of existence." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, well, I see. But this is weird" she said to Layla. "Yeah, well, she isn't really my baby. I got her with an adoption program but I had to give her up today" she said sadly. "As for you being married, let's just say you tried" she said mischievously. She didn't want to be mean or anything but she wouldn't let him slip away with it either.

	"You adopted a baby? Brooke that's awesome," he said smiling. "Tried, what do you mean by tried?" he asked. He wondered if this was a conversation he should have another time but just Brooke. He didn't want to hurt Layla or upset her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hippiechylde 2008-06-25 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah it is weird, but it is what it is, sad to say." She said to Brooke. "I'm sorry to hear of you loss, but it must have been important, you having her for the time you did?" She blinked a few times, was that a dig at her and their marriage? Was she trying to say something about them? An inside joke or something worse? Now she was certainly not fine.

"Yeah, I did. I mean, I wanted to adopt one but they wouldn't let me since I'd be a single parent. But they did put me in this adoption program where sick children are sent to adoptive families just for the time it takes to get them ok again and then they are sent back. That's how I got Angie" she smiled, remembering her baby. She let the subject of Lucas and Lindsey's marriage go. Layla looked upset already and she didn't want to talk about another Lucas marrying another girl.
"Yeah, it was" she told Layla "I mean, it hurt terribly to let her go but having her with me...that was one of the best things in my life"

	"Yeah I'm sure," he said smiling encouragingly at Brooke. "It was a really great thing you did." He noticed the change in Layla and hugged her closer to him. He kissed her forehead and whispered in her ear "I love you." "So, how's my mom and my sister?" he asked Brooke. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"If you have love and enough to give it to a child, then they should let you have as many children as you can handle and love. So many children go without families, siblings, loving parents, and even if they do have parents or families they aren't always a good set up.I think it is sad they wouldn't give you a child. You sound like you have a lot of love and caring to give. The system is a flawed and terrible thing, I wish they'd get off their tushy's and do something worth while to fix it."

"Thanks" she said to Luke "As for your mom and sister, well, you have a beautiful four-year-old sister named Lily, if you didn't know, and they're great. They're taking a trip around the world now but I saw them not a long time ago" she said. She wondered if she should talk about Andy or not but decided against it for the moment.

Then she turned to Layla "I know, that's what I told the lady who came to interview me to see if I could adopt a baby. But unfortunately I had my young age and my work and my being single against me. And my mother's opinion" she said.

He smiled proudly at Layla as she spoke. He really loved her mind and the way she saw things.

"They are?" he asked smiling, happy that his mom was out and doing something for herself. "That's great."

He looked at Brooke again.

"Ah, your mother," he said. "Explains a lot."

He didn't really know Victoria that well but didn't like her.

"What work are you doing? Let me guess, Clothes over bros is a massive company now?"

She decided to swallow her pride among other things and in this moment to just let go.

"Listen, Brooke, I am so sorry that I seem so off around you and most likely will go off and embarrass myself after I am done here, but here goes. Let me try and explain a little. When I came here, I came here with a very broken heart. I was alone and afraid, it was months of being here with no peers. Then I met Lucas, and we just clicked. He...well he died in my arms, he had a heart attack and then there was an explosion and many of our friends died and I nearly did as well. The Brooke in his timeline and I are on good speaking terms. Still, I get very intimidated...No, no, Bother, that word doesn't express it right. Well, the word eludes me, but the feeling remains. You and he were dating pre-us. There was this girl, named Gwen who really messed with my head and the heads of my friends, but most importantly she messed with my relationship with Will, the only man I ever loved, besides Lucas and even that love doesn't compare. Needless to say, she tried to kill us all in the end. I don;t want to come off as a flighty jerk to someone my husband holds so dear to his heart. The heart I swore to protect. Peyton too made me a bit flaily, but I look at you both and you are both smart, gorgeous, independent women, not saying I am not...I am. I just don't want you to feel off around me...Oh bother! I am botching this all up and I am rambling. I am so not helping."

"You are definitely right, my dear" she smiled to Lucas "Clo's over Bro's is a great company now. I used to live in New York where the main offices are but I just moved back to Tree Hill and opened a shop there" she smiled "And I love it!"

She looked at Layla when she spoke "Ok, now don't worry and calm down" she said soothingly "I am not Here to steal Lucas from you, ok? Neither is Peyton, I am sure. You said you spoke to a different me, one that was still dating him when he got Here and you said you two are on good-speaking terms, right? Well, just consider I come from four years after that. I am not in love with Lucas anymore. He's one of my best friends, I love him very much and, although I'd never let anything smash our friendship, my love for him is only, ONLY, as a friend. Nothing more. I promise. And I'm sorry if my first reaction when I saw him put you off and made you feel bad. I really am. But I'm a bit in an emotional state today because of Angie and everything and Lucas really was great in helping me out with her" she said "I would really like to get to know you, and I'd never do something to make you feel unconfortable around me. Not intentionally" she waited to see if she had made her point clear. The other girl seemed nice and she didn't want to hurt her or anything of the sort "And don't worry about the rambling. I tend to do that too when I'm nervous" she said with a friendly smile.

He listened as they both spoke.

"And I love Brooke too, but like her what I feel for her is only friendship. I am in love with you Layla. You're my girl and I'm your guy. Nothing and nobody is ever gonna change that."

He hugged her close to him for a moment and rested his forehead against hers for a moment, then pulled back looking into her eyes.

"I love you Layla," he said.

	She looked between them both. "I..I know. I do, OK. It is just really hard, in light of so many things.I just want you both to know where my mind is at and that I am trying, I am." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's ok, don't worry. I can imagine it's hard for you, having both your husband's exes Here" she said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know it's hard baby girl," he said softly. "But neither Peyton nor Brooke are gonna come between us ok?" he asked softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hippiechylde 2008-07-07 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	"I know, Lucas." She replied softly back and smiled at him. She tuned to Brooke and smiled. "Oh my god! You have no idea! And you are both so gorgeous. Oh, sorry. That came out wrong." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
