Chapter One: The Forbidden Night
Three Months earlier:
Brooke got up from the bed and grabbed her bag lying on the floor. Her cab was waiting, she dreaded going to California for three months. She knew that should would miss everyone here. She knew she would have more fun here, but she promised her parents she would come. She turned toward the door, ready to make the dreaded walk to the cab, that would take her to the airport. She reached her arm out, and grabbed for the door handle, just as someone on the other side, twisted it, and opened the door.
"Your cab is waiting," Lucas said, walking into the room, he had claimed all his life.
"I know, I was just getting up the nerve to actually walk out there," she said with that same Brooke attuitde, he had come to love over time.
"Hey, Brooke," he said grabbing her arm lightly, just enough to stop her. He knew she had to go, but he didn't want her to. He had only recently come to relazed that he loved her, and now she was going to walk out that door, and be gone for three months.
"What is it Luke, the cab is waiting," Brooke said, looking a bit agiated.
He couldn't just come out and say it. He couldn't just blurt it out, like it was something that had to be rushed out. He wanted to tell her, so many times, but had always lost his nerve. Now he didn't have a choice, if he didn't tell her how he felt, before she left, well who knew what could or would happen. He just couldn't find the words, he couldn't find the words to tell the woman he loved that, well that he loved her. So instead, he figured he would show her, yeah, he would show her just how much he loved her.
He slowly went forward, toward her body, and kissed her gently on the lips. It was the sweetest kiss, and it was the kind that just lingered on the lips. She looked at him shocked, not knowing what exactly to say to him.
"Please Luke, please tell me that was a goodbye kiss," she said pleading with him.
"I love you, Brooke Davis, and I'm sorry I waited this long to tell you," he said, reaching for her hand.
"You know what Luke, I can't deal with this, not right now, and you know what I don't know when I will be able to," she said, hoping he wouldn't notice the tears in her eyes.
"But Brooke," Lucas uttered, before Brooke interupted him.
"But Brooke, nothing, Lucas, not only do you tell me you love me, but you tell right before I am leaving for three months, I have to go," she said, just needing to leave, to get away.
She pushed her way past him, and didn't look back. She wasn't sure why, but as soon as she got in the cab, she started to cry, like she was leaving the one thing, the one person that meant the world to her.
Peyton was sitting in the living room of her house. Which was way past unusual for her, she just didn't feel so safe in her house. She had only recieved two of those emails, but man, they were beyond creepy. She decided she was going to sit there for just a bit longer and then she was going to go upstairs and go to bed. She didn't usually go to bed so early either, but she just wanted it to be morning. She heard a knock at the door, she figured it was Luke. She got up and walked the small distance to the front door. She reached for the door handle, and twisted it open. There standing in front of her, was the woman who earlier claimed she was a journalist for AP Magazine.
"Who the hell are you, I mean really," Peyton screamed at the woman.
"Okay, I know you figured out that I don't work at AP Magazine," the woman said.
"Damn right, I know that," Peyton said, staring straight into the womans eyes.
"I didn't lie about my name, Peyton, I'm Ellie Harp, but my full first name is Elizabeth, you know, like your middle name," Ellie said.
"How did you know my middle name," Peyton said in full shock.
"Because Peyton, I'm your Biological mother," Ellie said.
Peyton wasn't really sure how to react, so she did the first thing that came to mind. She grabbed hold of the door and slamed it in Ellie's face. Tears streaming down her face, she picked up her cell phone and called Lucas. He picked up after two rings, which was sooner than he usually picked up, but she didn't care this time.
"Peyton," Lucas said,
"Lucas, can you come over," Peyton said.
"Yeah, of course," he said, he was worried, she was crying pretty hard.
"Just hurry please," she said, hanging up the phone.
Please R&R...I'd really love to hear more from you guys.
