A/N: First off I know I rarely finish stories or give them a proper ending but it isn't something I do on purpose. I get over 10,000 words and then my motivation dwindles. I write when I'm upset. Currently I am very upset and all I want to do is go off into a world where it doesn't hurt and I don't have to think about my surroundings. Please review. I know the first chapter always sucks but I'll try to make it interesting. I love Leyton. When I'm upset I read fanfiction and it brings joy to read about a happy ending. I hate bad endings and that's why I get upset when I do not have a proper ending to my stories. This story will be AU. The first chapter will be a back story and then it will skip slightly and because of this the first chapter will be extremely long. At least that is what I am hoping will happen. Rated M for mature content. Profanity is used. Rating may be raised. Please enjoy.

Broken Glass

Peyton was the daughter of a famous rock star. She had spent her whole life in New York or LA but after a few bad run ins with the authorities. Mick Wolf was sending his daughter to Tree Hill, North Carolina to live with his friend Larry Sawyer. Mick was never a good father. He thought that giving into Peyton was the only way to make up for all the time he was away. Now with his 14-year-old daughter falling into the wrong scene he knew that he needed to make a better life for her. By giving her up and allowing his friend to care for her. What will happen when she enters a world where no one knows who she is and starts over with a new identity? How will she cope with making new friends and creating a new life for herself?

Peyton held her breath. She had been giving her father the silent treatment for days and it wasn't working. He had always given in or changed his mind but this time he was set on sending her away. She had made plenty of mistakes over the years but she had never thought her father would be so mad to send her packing. So she decided to hold her breath until he father gave in. After three minutes Peyton was beginning to turn bright red and couldn't hold it anymore.

"That worked out well for you, didn't it?" Jerry, her father's manager, mentioned from across the table.

Peyton glared. "Oh zip it." She snatched the cup of coffee away from Jerry and sipped it.

"Peyton!" Her father scolded. He had never been much of a father but all of a sudden he had taken an interest. It could have something to do with her recent run in with the police department and the public intoxication that drew the attention of every major news outlet in the country. She couldn't know for sure that is what sent him over board. Maybe it was the millions of people telling him to control his daughter that shocked him out of it. She didn't know. Nor did she care. All she knew was she was to be boarding a plane to bum fuck no where within a couple of hours.

"Are we really doing this?" Peyton whined. She was always a loner and could've cared less what anyone thought of her but all of a sudden she was going to be going to a real school and have real parents. If that was even possible.

"Yes. Actually we are. You will be moving in with my friend Larry Sawyer and his wife Anna. I went to high school with Larry and they were never able to have children and when I needed some help he offered to take care of you." Mick mentioned and continued his coffee that Jerry had gotten for him.

Peyton groaned. Mick had the company pack up all her belonging and sent them on their way to North Carolina. They should already be there when she arrives.

"He will pick you up at the airport. Jerry will be tracking the flight and we have an attendant that is to protect you the whole way." Mick glanced over at his daughter. "And no funny business."

Peyton shrugged. "Maybe." She had wondered if she were ever going to get to come back. Her father noticed the look in her green eyes and knew what she was thinking.

"We can still text and call. I'm not abandoning you Peyt. I just want you to have a normal life." Mick tried to convince his daughter. He had been trying since the moment he told her. This was for her own good. Maybe someday when she was older and had matured she could return.

The three sat at the diner and drank coffee for the next hour. They discussed Peyton's new identity and how she was to answer questions if anyone started to suspect who she was. The blonde was going to be getting the crazy colored highlights removed from her hair and return it to it's natural golden blonde. There were so many things she had to know in such a short amount of time.

"It's time to go." Jerry said as he stood from the table.

Mick and Peyton nodded. They knew this was goodbye. Neither of them knew when they would see each other again. "Call me when you land. Okay?" Mick looked into his daughter's eyes. She hugged him and he whispered. "I'm sorry."

Peyton nodded. "I know." She mouthed as Jerry led her out the door to the car.

A long car ride later and several longer minutes in the lines to get onto the plane Peyton found herself sitting in first class close to the flight attendants.

"So you're Mick Wolf's daughter?" The skinny brunette asked.

Peyton groaned. "No." She stated.

"I'm pretty sure you are." The brunette insisted. "I was told we were to watch you at all times and make sure you ended up where you were supposed to be. Do you think you could tell him how nice I was to you?"

Peyton had never liked the fans in the first place but now that she was being sent away and was more than sure people wouldn't find her for a long time she was going to use that to her advantage. Why did people treat her like she was 5? She turned to face the lady. "Listen up. I am only here because I have to be. My dad is a good man but little skinny bitches like you don't stand a chance. He loved my mom and now neither of us have her so keep your legs closed and leave me alone."

The brunette stared at her in shock. No one dared say anything to her for the remainder of the flight. Peyton gathered her carry on and shoved her iPod into her bag and threw It over her shoulder. This is it. She thought. Peyton quickly exited the plane, failing to wait for the attendant to escort her off. She found a sign that said Peyton. Only this sign said Peyton Sawyer not Peyton Wolf. Peyton groaned.

Peyton pasted a fake smile on her face and walked over to the tall man. "Hello." She said politely.

"Peyton?" The man asked. "My name is Larry. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too." She was going to prove to her dad that she could do this. This guy didn't give her any reason to treat him badly. But who knows right?

"I suppose we should get going?" Larry motioned toward the exit.

Peyton nodded and followed the guy toward the car. "I received all of your things. I didn't want to step over any boundaries so they are in your room. And you can unpack whenever you feel comfortable." Larry mentioned as he opened her door for her and then proceeded to his side of the car.

"Thank you." He looked at her funny. "For giving me time to come to terms with this."

Larry nodded and they drove in silence into Tree Hill. They drove slowly through the town while Larry pointed out the main areas. He pointed out the high school that she would be attending after the summer and then they drove past the hospital and the park and some place called the river court. Finally, they reached their house and Peyton sat in the car for a moment and took in her surroundings.

"What do you think?" Larry asked watching Peyton inspect the house. "I know its probably nothing compared to what you are used to."

"It's better." Peyton looked over every inch of the house. It was white with a large wooden door in the front. There was a front porch. It was nice and big but still quaint. "I've been living in hotels for as long as I can remember."

Larry took note of the blond hair that resembled Ellie's along with the bright green eyes that belonged to Mick. He missed his friends from school and he knew that what he was doing right now was what was best for Peyton as well as Mick. "I'm glad you are here Peyton."

"Thanks. At least someone finally wants me around." Peyton opened her door. "I'm sure that will change soon."

Larry remained in the car stunned at the comment the girl had made. He had wondered what had made her feel so unwanted that she felt it necessary to act like that. He got out of the car and followed after Peyton. They reached the door and Larry opened it for her. "Anna?" He called out.

"I'm in the kitchen." Anna replied back.

"Peyton is here." Larry responded. He closed the door behind them.

Peyton heard some things clang to the ground and Anna curse quickly. Anna rushed into the room and Peyton took in her beauty. She was a tall but skinny woman. She had blond hair similar to Peyton's only hers was a slight wave whereas Peyton's were unruly curls. Whether anyone here knew it or not Peyton would easily be mistaken as Larry and Anna's daughter. The resemblance between Larry and her was almost none existent but the one thing saving her there was that Larry had bright green eyes and Anna had gorgeous striking blue. Either way she had been taught her lies and asked to recite them to Jerry. She knew every answer. "I'm sorry you have to go through all of this mess." Anna said softly.

Peyton shrugged. "He says he is doing what's best for me."

Anna didn't know what the boundaries were yet but she was sure to try and keep them uncrossed. She decided that a hug would be okay so she took the girl in her arms. "I'm really glad you are here."

Peyton felt awkward at first but she quickly loosened up. She had felt so safe in Anna Sawyer's arms that for a moment she forgot that she wasn't her real mother and she felt like maybe this place could eventually be home.

A/N: I really hoped you liked it. There will be a time jump in the following chapter. This was just to get the story started. I hope you leave a review because that would make me very happy. Some of the following things may take from OTH but I am mostly just making this up as I go. I really liked this so far. Thank you.
