Takes place in season 3 after the episode, "First Day on a Brand New Planet". Lucas and Brooke are not together, they would rather be friends. Lucas figured that out after the long summer with Peyton, and realized he still has feelings for her, and she for him. The only problem is, they are to stubborn to admit it to each other. They don't want to screw up their friendship they have.

Dan still thinks that Lucas tried to him in the deal ship fire. He didn't believe Lucas and Peyton when they said Lucas saved him. Therefore, he is looking for revenge.

L Sadly I do not own anything. L

Someday

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Lucas just pulled up in front of the movie theaters in mid- argument with Peyton about what movie they are going see.

"Peyton come on, we got to see the movie you wanted to see last week. Plus you were the one that dragged me out here to come with you, therefore, I have a right to pick!" Lucas said, getting frustrated.

"Ok that's so not fair! You also wanted to see Superman Returns, and it was just so you could see Kate Bosworth. See unlike you, I had a perfectly good reason why I wanted to see it!" Teased Peyton.

"Oh, sure. What's your reason, so you could see Superman in tights?!" Peyton was silent and tried to hide her smile spreading across her face. "Oh my god, you have a crush on Superman!" Lucas said as he burst into laughter.

"Shut up dude! Every girl has a crush on Superman, and you sir have a crush on Kate Bosworth."

Lucas stopped laughing and thought for a second and said, "Ok, this conversation is getting us nowhere. And guys do not have crushes, just so you know….." Peyton starred at him for a moment so he said, "Fine you can choose the stupid movie, I don't care, as long as it's not a chick flick. Deal?"

"Deal. We get to see Pirates of the Caribbean, and you get to buy the food, and I will buy the tickets. Deal?"

"Fine with me Blondie." Lucas said smiling as they got out of the truck.

Peyton caught up with Lucas and asked, "Have you ran into Dan lately?"

Lucas looked at her and said, "No not sense that night in the gym. Why?"

"No reason just wondering. So your okay right?" Peyton said with concern in her voice.

"Yeah I am fine, I just don't know what I am going to do about Dan. He looked like a different man that night. I never saw so much hatred. I wonder what he will do when he finds the truth about the fire."

"I know that look he gave you even scared me. You don't think he will do anything stupid do you?"

"No, he's not that kind of man." Lucas said trying to convince him and Peyton all at once. "You don't have to worry about me."

Peyton smiled up at him starring deeply into his amazing blue eyes, "I am your friend, it's my job to worry." She hated using that word, Friend. But that's all they could be. Friends. She wanted so bad to tell him how much he truly meant to her, but if she did, she was worried she would end up screwing up their friendship.

Lucas broke the gaze, "Well, we better get inside before the movie starts without us." Lucas smiled back down to Peyton and held the door to the movie theater open for her.

God, that famous Lucas Scott smirk, he always gives me. The way he looks at me sometimes, just about melts my heart. She smiled back at him and nodded.

Once they were inside waiting in line, Lucas realized that he didn't have his wallet with him. "Shoot, um… I think I forgot my wallet in the car. I am going to go get it and meet you back by the snack bar. Okay?"

Peyton smiled and nodded as he walked out the door.

Lucas thought about what Peyton had said while he walked out to his car. 'I am your friend, it's my job to worry.' I hate that word. Friend. I would always be a friend to her. He wished with all his heart that they could be more. He wanted to tell her how much he cared about her. How much he truly loved her. But he couldn't. He knows it would just screw up their friendship. Or so he thought.

Lucas found his wallet and began walking across the street. He turned around at the sound of screeching tires against the asphalt. Just as he turned, he felt his body collide with a large car. He could feel his body roll over the top of the car, and crash back on the ground. The crunching of his bones, and the sound of his body hitting the windshield ringing in his ears.

He rolled over onto his back, groaning in pain. His head hurt, his legs hurt, heck everything was in excruciating pain. He could feel the warm blood make it's way down his face and drip onto the asphalt.

All he could hear was the faint yell of his name, as he whispers "Peyton". The last thing he sees is Peyton's face, as the darkness covers him.
