One Tree Hill

It was finally here! October 31st! Halloween and Peyton Sawyer's birthday. Peyton is turning 16 years old. October 31st was the only day that she looked forward to, most people it was Christmas. But for her it had to be Halloween, and her birthday. The only thing that she didn't like was that her mother had died on her birthday. She was on her way to pick her up from Elementary school, and ran one red light. Peyton still thinks about her, and really misses her, sure she was little, and she didn't know her mom that well. But it still hurt her to think about it because she thought it was her fault, even though everyone told her that it wasn't. it was. Ever since then she had been bullied. It didn't bother her that much, until she didn't have her mom with her, and her dad wasn't home everyday, most nights he was out at work. But it isn't that big of a deal she still has her older brother Ian Sawyer and her best friend Brooke Davis. Peyton didn't see Ian often he was usually out drinking, going to clubs, partying, and sleeping around with random girls. Our mothers death was hard on both of us, it even affected Brooke. Brooke and I have been friends since we were in grade 3. That was the year before my mom died. But besides all of that life is pretty good. Peyton got home from school, and stopped thinking to sad, she had to get her costume and call Ian and Brooke. She got inside the house grabbed the home phone and dialed Brooke's number.

"Hey! When are you going to be at my place?" Peyton asked.

"Not sure? Do you need help with you costume?" Brooke asked.

Peyton got to her room and looked around saw her costume and said, "Yeah. I'll be needing help."

"Okay well I'll be there in 5- 10minutes, with my costume so we can get ready together." Brooke said picking up her costume and leaving out the door, as she hung up on Peyton.

Peyton got undressed and heard the door open and shouted, "Who is it?"

"It's a killer." Brooke shouted with a laugh.

"Come up here. I need you help killer!" Peyton said with a laugh.

"Boo!" Brooke yelled. "You know if you get any thinner I'm going to look fat." she joked.

"What are you talking about! You are thin!" she said pulling her dress up.

"What are you going as? And I know I am." Brooke said with a smile.

"I already told you. I'm going as the Angle of death! What are you going as?" Peyton asked.

"I'm going as a hot devil!" she said with a smirk.

"No! Not on my birthday! You will not!" she shouted at her best friend with a smile.

"I'm not going to be sleeping with some random guy. Not on your day." she told her with a reassuring smile.

"Good!" Peyton said turning her back to her friend pointing at the zipper.

Brooke zipped her up and asked, "Where's Ian? Is he not going with us to your party?"

Peyton shrugged. "I don't know I haven't seen him since yesterday. Who knows?"

"What about your dad? Is going to be there?" she asked.

"No. He's not home. He won't be home until the end of next month." she told her.

"Oh I'm so sorry about this." Brooke told her.

"It's no big deal. I have you! I also have my boyfriend. Nathan Scott!" she said with a smile and said, "You have all the guy's you want."

"Ha ha" Brooke said sarcastically. "How are you and Nate doing any way?"

"We're doing good." she said with a bright smile.

"That's good. I can't believe that you two are still together and haven't broken up yet!" Brooke exclaimed.

"Yeah it's calm with us right now." she told her.

"That's good to hear. You know I am happy for you." she told her.

"I know you are." she said before turning around and grabbing her cell and dialing Ian's number.

"Hey Ian where are you?" she asked.

"I'm out." he had replied.

"Out where?" she asked and heard a girl's laugh in the back ground. "Ian. I thought that you weren't going to." she said with a sigh.

"I'm out. That's all." he said before he turned around to hush the girl in the bed. "I'll be home and ready for the party." he told her, and the girl began to say, "The parties right here, with me." she said sounding really drunk.

"Forget it. You're busy. It's fine." Peyton told him before hanging up on him.

"What was that all about?" Brooke asked.

"Nothing." she told her. "But um I'll see you at the party." she said with a smile. "You don't have to wait for me."

"Okay. I'll see you there." Brooke said and left out the front door.

Peyton stood there with tears falling down her face.
