Chapter 1:

Jake, Lucas and Peyton just stood there, completely stunned. Finally, someone broke the most awkward silence…

"I'm sorry… I'm just gonna go ahead and leave…" Jake said hesitantly and regretfully. He started to walk away briskly.

"Jake wait!" Peyton called out. She knew this wasn't the best thing to do for her and especially for Lucas. Lucas shot her a really shocked look. Peyton saw this but she couldn't look at Lucas.

Jake turned around to find Peyton walking up to him. He constantly looked at Lucas, who couldn't believe what was happening. When, Peyton was in front of him, they couldn't speak nor look at each other. "You shouldn't be doing this now… I mean, look at Lucas." Jake looked at Lucas.

Peyton turned to look at Lucas, mouthing to him "I'm sorry. One minute." She said as her fingers were doing the number one signal. "I know that… But… At the same time… I can't let you leave without a trace, wondering why you eventually showed up… the timing sucks but I am still curious."

"Peyton…" Jake began, but he couldn't tell her why he was there. He didn't want to screw things up. "Don't be curious… There's not much to be curious about." He tried so hard to sound and look true. "I just… I wanted to check on how you were doing… With facing Lucas and all… and I see you're doing well… That's all I needed to know… Bye Peyt…" Jake kissed Peyton's forehead, then approached Lucas. "Hey man… Sorry… That was just a friendly goodbye kiss… Trust me… I just came here to check on how Peyt was doing… You see… I was the one who told her to- " Jake stopped because he didn't wanna go back on that regretful thing he did… making Peyton face Lucas. "You know, it's a long story… Just ask Peyton." He smiled.

"O-K?" Lucas said confused… but he was feeling happy too. He was happy and relieved to hear Jake's explanation. "Thanks man… For a second there, I thought I was gonna lose Peyton again."

Jake laughed slightly. He was feeling guilty. "Nah… I couldn't do that. Well… See ya round." He patted Lucas' right arm. Lucas nodded and then, Jake left.

Peyton was watching these two guys from a distance. She had tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. She was happy that Jake didn't come to make her think twice about her relationship with Lucas… but she was sad that that was why he said he came to Tree Hill. Her thoughts were contradicting.

Lucas and Peyton's eyes met. They smiled at each other and Peyton tried to conceal the sadness slowly enveloping her. Lucas walked up to Peyton and hugged her so tight. He was so happy… But how come Peyton wasn't? She hugged Lucas just as tight, hoping this would help her feel better.

"I love you Peyton" Lucas said with his face buried in Peyton's hair. Peyton's face was buried in his chest, and Lucas didn't want it any other way.

"I love you too." Peyton said, as she slightly moved her head, as her chin was now resting on Lucas' shoulder. She couldn't smile. She was uneasy and it really showed in her face.

AN: Must I continue:-? Or does anyone have any ideas or does anyone wanna right the next chapter(s)? hahaha… R&R please..:D
