Mr. Baker

"It's funny how our past frames us. The person you used to be never lets loose of the person we are. Past failures and disappointments, even victories take a hold of us. They haunt us like ghosts or visit us like old friends." Julian Andrew Baker Husband to Brooke Davis Baker Father to Jude Peyton and Davis Nathan Film Producer and Director Resident of Tree Hill, North Carolina

We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.

Clay needed someone to watch Logan for a few hours he got a call and he needed to leave,Quinn was busy and out of town as well ,He didn’t want to Bug Nathan and Hayley since they do so much for them already.calling Julian for the fourth time before he answered “Are you somewhere dying?Jesus I’ve called three other times”He said

Julian looked around the bar and shook his head, wondering if maybe Clay was looking at him and Julian’s face was reading off some sort of expression that stated that he wasn’t having the time of his life. “No. Definitely not dying.” He shook his head. “I’m just spending some time alone. What’s up? Why do you sound so distraught?”

Part of working with Brooke Davis Baker meant it was partially Katherine’s job to help Brooke out. A designer can’t design if she is distracted. Brooke told her that not only was Julian not answering her, but he wasn’t answering anyone. There was only one place in town that someone could try to hide out at. Katherine spotted him at the bar and gave him a ring. As he answered she popped up behind him. “When people call you, it means they need you. Brookes going crazy! What are you doing here?”

Julian honestly hadn’t even realized that people were blowing up his phone. He was too intrigued in what was going on around the bar to pay much attention to his phone, much less the fact that his phone had actually died. It wasn’t until he saw Katherine walk in and approach him that he realized that his lack of  communication was hindering the people of Tree Hill. “What are you-?” he questioned, looking back at her. “Oh.” he picked up his phone. “I hadn’t even realized it died.” he stood, watching as she mentioned Brooke was going crazy. “Is she okay?” he asked. “What’s wrong?”

Julian wasn’t usually one that went out on the town. In fact, if he wasn’t working, he was typically one that went anywhere other than work and home. Tonight, however the male had decided to go out, and he couldn’t deny the fact that he was feeling it. With a drink in his hand, the male looked down at his phone, noticing he had numerous missed calls and was getting another one as he spoke. He pressed the button, swallowing as he answered. “Hello?” he spoke, his words slightly slurred.

“Unfortunately it’s just in the job description.” Emma began to scan his items, putting them in bags as she went along. “See, you think that would be common knowledge, but apparently not. Not only do we sell the clothing here, we also make them as well. Didn’t you here?” 

“I just think it’s ridiculous that people are so rude to people who are simply just doing their job.” Julian shrugged and looked at her. “Clearly that’s what people think. You don’t just sell them, but you have someone back there slaving away to make a new shirt every time someone buys one.”  he rolled his eyes. “I’m sorry people treat you all this way.”

[emma-brayson]

“Well, you’d think that in the current year people wouldn’t get mad at sales associates for the store running out of the shirt they wanted, but hey, apparently not. I need a coffee and a new job.”

[julianandrewbakerr]

“I really don’t understand why you guys always get the short end of the stick.” Julian shook his head and looked at the girl behind the counter. He placed a small pack of plain white t-shirts on the counter, as well as a pack of socks for his sons. “I mean, it isn’t like you guys make the shirts or anything you guys sell in here. Why should you all get the blame because items sell out faster than people can buy them? Maybe people should’ve come out to the store earlier, yeah?”

“Powder blue and baby blue are completely different. How can anyone think they’re the same shade? Honestly, some people are prettier before they start talking.” Isabella sighed to the person next to her as she gestures to the fabric swatches she held in her hand. Maybe they weren’t ‘completely different’ like Isabella had said but when actually made into clothing they came out in unique tones that each color held on its own. “I’ll do anything for you to get me coffee and drag me away from this stuff.”

Julian honestly wasn’t entirely sure what he’d just walked into. Blue, pink, green, while he knew all had different shades to him most everything was in fact the color it appeared in his eyes - forget about the different shades. He had decided long ago that fashion wasn’t his forte, and he was thankful that his wife was always around if he did have a fashion question. “I mean, i you want my opinion they’re exactly the same.” he spoke, looking at the swatches that he assumed the girl was talking about and then looked at the girl. “But, my brain was wired for film, not for fashion.” he shrugged.

daniel-j-montgomery:

“Movies just seem to leave to much out, and information gets lost on the way.” Daniel said with a shrug before he laughed softly. “Oh. I thought you got into the film industry to get the ladies.” Daniel said with a grin.

“You have a point.” Julian nodded. “Unfortunately movies do cut out a lot of the details, but, the film industry as a whole is still absolutely amazing.” Julian spoke, looking at the male as he did so. “But, I understand that it isn’t for everyone.” As Daniel laughed, Julian shook his head. “Well, the film industry did get me the lady, so, I got all I needed out of it.” he admitted.

“are you filming? what the hell are you talking about? why not?” He asked the guy with furrowed brows.”If you’re coming to kill me please don’t do it slow.

Julian nodded slowly as he turned off the camera. “No, I’m not going to murder you.” he spoke, looking at the boy as if he had two heads. “I’m filming, but I’m not going to murder you. And even if I was I wouldn’t be stupid enough to film it.” he spoke. He looked at his camera and then at the boy. “I talked to someone about filming here a few days ago. I’m trying to get some town footage for my movie. I was told that if it didn’t look like anyone was here, the spare key was hidden outside and to film whatever I needed..” Julian paused and then looked back at the male. “You weren’t the one I talked to though. Did someone else give me permission to come into your house?” Julian was clearly confused, and he really hoped that the male wasn’t upset with him for what he assumed would be called ‘breaking and entering’. 

[julianandrewbakerr]

daniel-j-montgomery:

Daniel chuckled softly. “Well there are so many different covers, it not hard to get confused.” Daniel said with a smile before he shook his head slightly. “I’m not really a movie person, I prefer books over films. They just give you more.”

“You have a point there.” Julian nodded. “Don’t get me wrong, I mean books are pretty great. I’ve always been more of a film man myself, but you’re not wrong. There is way more with books, and most people are that way.”

jakeanderson-rp:

“what the hell are you doing in my kitchen? you scared the hell out of me.” He breathed. 

Julian looked up from the camera in his hand and looked at the male. “Um.” he paused, looking back at the camera. “I-” he paused. “You weren’t supposed to be here.”

Tyler had just got out of bed as he saw Julian walk into his house”Nah,It’s all good man. I actually just woke up to be honest with you.” He said as he walks towards the kitchen in his house”You okay,man? Can I get you anything? Water? Soda? Redbull? Coffee?” He asked as he got some stuff for a smoothie for himself.

“I’m sorry I bothered you.” he spoke. “And I’m sorry if I woke you.” he nodded. “I just, well, I was looking for Eva. I was asked to relay a message and the last person I asked said they saw her with you.” he rambled. “Coffee would be fine.” he nodded. “Thank you.”

Daniel glanced down at the book and nodded his head. “Yeah, I think everyone knows of Lord of the Rings.”  Daniel said with a soft laugh as he pulled the book closer to him.  “Though I haven’t seen the movie yet, to be honest.”

“Oh, it’s Lord of the Rings.” Julian chuckled. “I thought it was another book; that cover reminded me of something else.” he shrugged, a little embarrassed that he’d missed the book title. “It’s a good film.” he nodded. “You’re missing out, man.”

[julianandrewbakerr]

bigtimety:

Tyler looks at the male as he spoke about the town and how he couldn’t see himself anywhere else”Trust me. Playing in the MLB has taught me a lot. Remember where you came from because you can get lost in the light. Trust me,I’m a tree hill guy through and through. Born and raised. I’m Tyler… Have we met before?”

Julian nodded at the male’s words. “I know what you mean. Being a film producer it’s very easy to get lost in the limelight, but like you said as long as we always remember where we  come from, than that’s all that matters. “I’m Julian. Julian Baker. I would be a little surprised if we hadn’t met before; Tree Hill’s a small town. But, you said you played major league baseball, so I imagine you travel a lot, right?”

[julianandrewbakerr]

bigtimety:

Tyler had walks back down the familiar road as he walked back into his home town of Tree Hill. He didn’t know what he was gonna do with his life for 60 days since he lost control of his anger as he rushed the mouth and punched out the dodgers pitcher who throw at his head. The male walks into the grocery store and saw a familiar face and walks over to them”So is tree hill just as dramatic since I left.”

Julian typically tried to avoid the grocery store at all costs, however, he also knew it was way easier than having Brooke go to the grocery store, especially this morning. As he had a pack of wipes tucked under his arm, a pack of bottles and a container of formula. “I’m not really sure.” he shrugged, looking at the male. “I wasn’t around back in the day, but, I honestly could’t picture myself living anywhere else.”

daniel-j-montgomery:

Daniel was enoying one of the few days off. He walked into Karen’s cafe, after ordering a coffee. He found a seat in the corner and pulled his book out of his bag. Daniel flipped it open and was about to start reading it, when a shadow fell over the table. Daniel looked up and smiled softly. “Oh hello.” Daniel said with a smile. “How are you?”

Julian hadn’t meant to seem like he was being one of those people that hovered over others while they were busy, however, he’d caught glimpse of the title of the book and couldn’t help himself. “That book was made into a film adaptation, right?” he questioned. “I’m not confusing it with another book title am I?”
