One Tree Hill · Season 5
Hi Mrs. Davis. I just want to tell you, I think it's really great you're supporting Brooke's decision to stay. I know it means so much to her.
Of course I support my daughter. But let's be clear. The only reason that Brooke returned to this backwater town is because her loser friend couldn't cut it in Los Angeles. That's why I'm here, to make sure that my daughter is not completely exploited by her parasitic so called friend. So you get your little act together before you ruin her life too.
Good God. What is that?
That is my assistant Millicent.
Tell me again why you have an assistant, who dresses like a Slavic bag lady.
I'm really sorry about Jason.
It's okay. I've worked with self-centered musicians before. Chris Keller ring a bell.
Only his own.
Ha...Ha...Ha.
Hey, ready to go?
Hey, umm... actually I think I'm going to stay so, goodnight.
He's not good enough for you.
Hey don't do that.
Do what?
He's not good enough for you? I don't want you saying things like that to me, Lucas. That's not fair to me, it's not fair to Lindsey either!
Okay, I think that might be the second stupidest thing you've done in the last 24 hours. Luke, we're not in high school anymore. And I love Peyton, and even if you don't wanna admit it right now, so do you. Okay?
I feel lost Brooke. I don't know what to do without her.
Alright. You remember when I started Clothes over Bros? It was right after we broke up and I was trying to mend my broken heart by focusing on my work and you need to do the same right now. You need to go out there and become the best person and the best writer that you can be and then you approach Peyton and if she comes back to you, you know it's meant to be.
Hey, when did you get here?
I don't know, like an hour ago.
You know you could have woke me up.
Luke… what is this? (holds up the ring box) I couldn't bring myself to open it but, uh I've just been sitting here thinking about how much I love you.
Well… I wanted it to be a surprise but uh. Peyton, I love you and I want us to be together forever.
Luke, wait okay.
I know it's a bit sudden okay, but yesterday was a great day. And I'm sitting on the bus and I realize that none of my great days in my life matter without you. You're the one I want next to me when my dreams come true. You're the one I want next to me if they don't. As long as I have you nothing else matters.
There's… it's just not as simple as all of that okay. I mean there's a lot we have to talk about.
I know that but we'll figure out all the details when we get back to Tree Hill.
Okay I know that's home for you and I miss it sometimes, I do, but for me Tree Hill is two dead moms and a psycho stalker and some really painful memories. You know I actually had to move out to Hollywood to get away from all the drama. So right now this is my home and the only thing that's missing is you.
Then I'll move here.
No god. Luke, honey, Whitey believes in you and Nathan needs you and if I ask you to walk away from your dream you're gonna wake up one day and you're gonna resent me for it. The same way I would feel if you asked me to leave LA.
Peyton you get people coffee and deliver mail, you were doing more than that in Tree Hill.
Well I love you for believing that but I have to prove that to myself. I mean… you see that's the thing, and we both have so much we wanna do with our lives and were only nineteen.
And Nathan and Haley were a lot younger than that.
Okay well we see how easy that's been. Come on…in another year.
Peyton! We've seen each other three times in the last year. We go days without talking. We trade few emails. We've already grown so far apart. Who knows where we'll be a year from now.
Luke if you can't trust that our love can make it one year, I don't understand how we can be talking about forever right now!
You're saying no.
No! I am not saying no, I am saying not now. I want to marry you someday. Hey don't do that, don't pull away from me. Okay I want us to be together. I love you so much.
Just not enough...
Okay. Can we take this back? Can we just pretend like you never woke up, please?
I don't think we can.
I'm afraid that this conversation is going to end with…
Goodbye...
Don't! Come here. Our dreams are going to come true Lucas. My music and your novel. It's gonna happen, I know it.
I've been calling you all night. Maybe teen marriage is all the rage in Hicksville, North Carolina, but I swear if you marry this boy I'm gonna have annulment papers drawn up so fast...
Mom relax, it was just a joke.
Oh. Thank God. You have far too much to lose Brooke.
And Lucas Scott was the one boy I might have lost it for.
Okay, so tell me again, what happened?
We walked in and Bitch-toria was there waiting.
I saw your lights on, which isn't that surprising, I mean I know how hard you work. You know, you haven't been yourself lately Peyton. I mean not the Peyton I remember.
Well, I haven't been that Peyton for three years.
What's going on?
Okay. I went by my old house, there's a teenage girl living there now. She showed me my closet door, and you know what that said? Lucas and Peyton, True Love Always. Always Lucas, that's what we were supposed to have until you showed up in L.A. three years ago and ambushed me.
If by ambushed you mean proposed to you?
Oh, yeah, out of the blue! A proposal that was driven by some insecurity that I have never been able to understand!
Insecurity? Right. Let me tell you how you get "Always" Peyton: when a man asks you to marry him, you say yes. You don't say no and call him insecure!
I never said no! I said that I loved you and that I did wanna marry you some day and, oh God, Luke! I wanted you so bad - but you gave up on us.
I... I gave up on us?
Yes!
By proposing I gave up on us?
No! By not waiting you gave up on us, and you know that's the truth!
That's great Peyton! [screaming] You wanna talk truth, let's tell the truth!
Okay.
You gave up on me! That's why you didn't say yes, you didn't think I could do it! You didn't think I could get my novel published, maybe you just didn't care, because it wasn't about you, or what you wanted.
Well, if that's the truth, if I never cared, (picking up a copy of the many she has of Lucas's novel), then how come every time I see this stupid book I buy it, [picking up another three copies], every stupid damn time Luke. [Screaming, she starts throwing the books at Lucas] You said I was great! You said I could be great! You said we were destined to be together, you said it to the world, you said it to me and I wish you never had because you did not mean any of it!!!
[raising his hands up in surrender and disbelief] I'm gonna go. [He starts walking away]
Okay, you know what? I'm gonna pay rent. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but I'll figure it out, cause whatever this is, I don't feel right about it.
It's called me being nice to you.
It needs to stop.
I don't know, maybe you're right.
You said he asked you stuff. What else did you tell him?
Nothing much. Just the truth.
Like?
The man killed Tupac and Biggie, never date girls named Bevin, and Santa Claus is black.
Why are women so screwed up?
Let me guess, Peyton.
How did you know?
Because she's sending you a drink with a check in it.
Yeah, we're having a tough time with the whole friends thing. How did you two do it so easily?
I make everything look easy.
Nate.
Peyton and I were never in love.
Yeah, well Lindsey is mad at me too.
Yet you seem more upset about Peyton.
I came back for Lucas.
I know. You've had your "Lucas Stealing Face" since you picked me up from the airport
What "Lucas Stealing Face"?
The only face you've got.
Well, it doesn't even matter now. He's with Lindsay.
Honey, Lindsey doesn't stand a chance, trust me. I have been the "Lindsey" between "Lucas and Peyton" and it is not a great place to be.
Yeah, neither is the place I'm at.
Are you kidding? You're Peyton Sawyer. The guy wrote a whole book about how much he loves you.
You think he still does?
It has always been "Lucas and Peyton". You guys are meant to be together. It's the way it's supposed to be. So go and get your man. [Peyton chuckles] And this time, if he proposes please say "yes".
Peyton gets up and hugs Brooke then starts walking away. Then turns back.
Wait, if I came back for Lucas, then why did you come back?
Duh! For Lucas. Game on, bitch!
Both chuckle and Peyton hits Brooke leg and Brooke hits Peyton's ass.
Lindsey. I... I'm sorry. I never wanted...
Lindsey shows Peyton the ring on her finger
Lucas asked me to marry him.
What's underneath all the clothes Brooke Davis
Suddenly it was as if the roar of the crowd, the echo of the final buzzers, the cheers of my teammates were all sounding from 1,000 miles away, and what remained in that bizarre, muffled silence was only Peyton. The girl whose art, passion, and beauty had changed my life. In that moment, my triumph was not a state championship, but simple clarity. The realization that we had always been meant for each other and every instinct to the contrary had simply been a denial of the following truth - I was now and would always be in love with Peyton Sawyer.
