I really shouldn't be starting this one. I have to finish my 5vicodin story and then start on some others. I couldn't not write this one though. It's way to close to my heart. This will be a four parter.
I got this idea watching a music video. It's set to Jason Michael Carroll's
"Alyssa Lies" If you haven't heard the song you should listen to it. It's very close to my heart but I won't tell you about that.
Things to know: Haley is the daughter of Lucas and Brooke Scott. Rachel Gattina and Nathan Lee are the teachers. Peyton takes place as Alyssa.
Peyton Lies
My little girl met a new friend
Just the other day
On the playground at school
Between the tires and the swings
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
And she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa Lies"
I just brushed it off at first
Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
Or the things she had seen
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me
"Hi I'm Haley." Haley sat down on the bench beside the curly blonde. The blonde was new to the school and Haley felt like she should be her friend. It was hard for the ten year old to understand. She had friends of her own but she felt like Peyton needed to be her friend.
"I'm Peyton." The curly blonde smiled shyly. She pulled her sleeves down a little further. She was told to never let anyone see the bruises.
"Do you want to be friends?" Haley got off the bench and held her hand out to Peyton. "We can go on the swings if you want to."
Peyton looked at the extended hand of the girl her age. She cautiously placed her hand in Haley's. "Okay." The girls spent the rest of recess playing. As it was time to go back in Haley noticed a bruises on Peyton's arms.
"Peyton why do you have all those bruises?" Haley asked with all the concern she thought was needed.
"I um…" Peyton looked down, unshed tears in her eyes. "I'm not supposed to talk about it."
"You can tell me. I won't tell anyone. I promise."
"My step-mom hits me. My daddy is never home and my mom is dead so I have to stay with her. But you can't tell anyone. You promised."

Haley walked into her house later that afternoon. She had tears in her eyes. She was trying not to cry. If her parents asked her what was wrong she knew she would tell them. She walked past her father's office and was stopped by his voice. She walked into his office. "Haley what's wrong?"
She crawled into his lap and snuggled into him. She was glad her parents loved her and didn't hit her. She looked up into the blue eyes of her father. "Peyton lies daddy."
Lucas breathed out a sigh of relief. He thought it was going to be more serious. "What do you mean baby?"
"She told me I couldn't tell anyone." Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. "If I tell you then you can't anyone daddy. I promised her."
"Okay. Whatever you tell me will stay between you and me." He wiped away the tears that had fallen down her cheeks. He was glad Brooke wasn't here for this. It tore her apart every time their daughter cried.
"I met Peyton at school today by the swings. She's new and I thought I needed to be her friend. She really needs a friend. We played all during recess. Her daddy works on the water so he's rarely home. Her mom died two years ago. A year ago her dad remarried. Peyton and her step-mom don't get along." She looked up at her father then back down. "I can't tell you daddy. You'll tell someone. I promised her no one would ever find out."
Lucas placed two fingers under his daughter's chin and gently forced her to look at him. "You can tell me baby girl." He wasn't ready for what she had to tell him. No one would have been ready for what she was about to tell her father.
A/N: It's short but I want to stay true to the song and I wanted to break it down so it isn't so hard to read.
