A/N: Ideas these days float around in my head, and I put off actually writing the stories. But this one was too good to wait, especially seeing as when I wait, I forget the idea. ;D

Forget about the phone call, we'll assume Lucas didn't call Peyton and she knows nothing about it. It's not really important. :D

Disclaimer: Let's see, what don't I own today.. well for starters, One Tree Hill sure isn't mine. Like really, I WISH. There would be so much more Leyton if I did. I also don't own the lyrics I used, which happen to be those from "Cry" by Rihanna. I think that's it.

He's Not Good Enough For You

She heard the door click, telling her that it had been unlocked, and the next thing she knew it was open and she was being pushed backwards through it. Their lips were attached together, and his hands had found their way into her back pockets. It wasn't long before she fell onto the bed, and things got more and more heated. Boundaries gone, long since shattered and broken. Peyton was finally letting go.

Or so she had been foolish enough to believe. However, as she felt his hands slide up her back, she froze.

"He's not good enough for you."

It was his voice. A voice she had avoided for the longest time. A voice she had tried so hard to forget.

But there it was again, in her head. Lucas Scott and his stupid voice had found their way back into her life. Even if she had broken the audio CD of his book into a million pieces, and ripped every single copy of it that she had ever bought to shreds, his words had all come flooding back to her in that single moment.

She pulled away from the man suddenly, just as his hands found the hem of her top.

"I can't do this."

i'm not the type to get my heart broken
i'm not the type to get upset and cry
'cause i never leave my heart open
never hurts me to say goodbye

He looked at her like she had just spilled some deep, dark secret, or like she had a disease.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

He shrugged, not speaking a word. Peyton watched as he got up and walked out the door, knowing she would never see him again.

She sat up, sighing. She had known for the longest time that she would never really be able to rid herself of Lucas Scott. Push the thoughts of him to the back of her mind, maybe. But he was always going to be there.

"He's not good enough for you."

If he wasn't good enough, well then who the hell was? It seemed like no one was, and if that was the case, then why couldn't she just have Lucas, the one she had wanted for as long as she could remember?

Because they were both too damn stubborn, and enjoyed pushing each other away?

Because they were both afraid of falling in love?

Maybe there was no right answer to that question.

relationships don't get deep to me.
never got the whole in love thing
and someone could say they love me truely
but at the time it didn't mean a thing.

Why had she let him get to her? Why did she let him in so far? She had always been one to shut people out, ever since her mother had died.

People always leave, she had once said. And she had been scared to let people in, for fear they would do just that. But Lucas Scott had a way of getting around all of her fears. His way with words, and the way he looked at her made her melt at his feet. And after he left her in L.A., she had spent all that time rebuilding the walls, no matter how much she had let him tear them down.

But they had disappeared again within days of getting here. Because he had to go and say those six stupid words.

"He's not good enough for you."

The question was, why did him saying that make her fall in love all over again? No matter how much she hated him for it, hearing him say that had put the biggest smile on her face. He had still cared. She hadn't been sure if she wanted him to, but she had been ready to find out.

And here she was again, those same six words coming back to haunt her.

And the sad thing, it only made her want him more.

my mind is gone, i'm spinning 'round
and deep inside, my tears i'll drown
i'm losing grip, what's happening?
i stray from love, this is how i feel.

so as always, reviews make my world go round.
