Rachel

". You know i'm better than that.."

Tree Hill, sure for the most part her years spent here even when she’d returned had never been perfect; whether she was basically screwing up school or dealing with being junkie but this time she was sure would be different...-no she was still Rachel but instead of looking for ways to look good, she had started looking for ways to be happy and in doing so becoming a TV producer seemed to make sense.

Crossing her arms across her chest, she raised a brow “What?..is it the lack of red hair that has you looking at me like that, or the fact that i’m not that big of a raging bitch anymore?...if it’s both feel free to say.” she smiled slightly.

“It’s fine, seriously. It’s just a little cut,” Quinn said as she held her finger above her heart, but she wasn’t entirely sure if she was trying to convince herself or the other person as her stomach lurched at the sight of blood dripping into her opposing hand. Quinn wasn’t used to cooking for a family, but she did her best to try each day now that she had her own. Though apparently today, she should have stayed away from chopping vegetables. Quinn had found herself subjected to her own hormones more and more often these days due to her pregnancy, so as tears welled in her eyes, her frustration grew. “I just don’t know how to take care of this baby when I can’t even take care of myself,” she groaned, mostly talking to herself, only realizing after the fact that she had directly just outed herself to someone else.

“Hey I didn’t say anything,” Rachel almost considered sticking her hands in the air but eventually just offered the best warm smile she could manage. She hadn’t been back in town long and while,what she called ‘the old Rachel’, would be all about the judging she was doing her best to stray away from that even if some of those trait came through every now and then. “You’re pregnant?” she nodded a few times. “Congrats I guess?”

It had been a long time since Chase had been out all night, not dragging himself home till dawn. He had woken up in bed with some random woman and the events from the night before were so hazy that he couldn’t even find his tee shirt as he had frantically snuck out of his new friend’s house. Chase had ventured to Tric, knowing he had a stash of spare clothes there that he could break into so he wasn’t going all the way home while shirtless. As he approached the familiar building, he noticed the figure sitting on the steps and he sighed to himself. He really wasn’t wanting to explain his current situation to anyone, so he tried to play it cool. “Hey, it’s only 11. We’re not open yet. What are you doing here?”

Call her crazy mostly because she was looking for a familiar face: Brooke, Peyton and it wasn’t like she’d ever actually left things on a decent note with them so maybe she wasn’t thinking but it’d been a few years and unlike her past claims of changing..she actually had this time. “Yeah I know the time...-looking for some old faces I know, figured if I sat here someone would show up sooner or later and look at that...” she gestured to him.”Here you are.”

Taking hold of a stray brownie left on the side of the counter, Haley looked up at the other with a shrug. “Now I know I said that I would never touch one of Taylor’s ‘homemade brownies’ again but you know with two children in the house sometimes you just need to take the edge off….” she stated, taking a small bite out of the brownie. “Kidding. With two kids in the house you have to take matters into your own hands and make a more G-rated version of that brownie—even if it’s absolutely disgusting. Come take one and pretend to love it with me.”

“Is that Haley James Scott actually doing something bad..i’d say I was shocked but you did always seem like the type.” Life hadn’t exactly been great for Rachel until all those years back when Dan was alive and had left her with nothing but divorce papers,sure at first she was a mess but it eventually lead her to officially figuring out her life and now..she was back at Tree Hill. “I’m good,remember former junkie,don’t really wanna fall into that again.”
