CHAPTER ONE
Brooke was instinctively happy about going to UNC,she was going to been living with her best friend and boyfriend. She was all smiles as she watched Chase her boyfriend of almost a year,carry box's into their new apartment. Payton was unpacking box's in the kitchen with the help of Haley. Nathan and Haley decide to come down to help the girls get settle before, they went off to start their new lives to. Brooke walked into the kitchen smiling as she hopped up on the table.
"Well guess what I find us a new roommate" She said, as she watched Peyton shake her head.
"Brooke we don't need a roommate"
"Hello Peyton this apartment has three bedrooms, what are we suppose to do with third room."
"Well let's see you get a room, I get a room, then Chase has a room. Three people, three rooms, why do we need a fourth person, I'm not sharing my room with you."
"No I know how much you're miss in your bed" She teased, as Peyton rolled her eyes and, Haley laughed. "I will be sharing a room with Chase, so that's why I got us a new roommate"
"When do we get to meet this ball of sunshine"Peyton replied sarcastically. Brooke glared out her."What I promise I'll be nice"
"Good, because well it's not a female" Brooke said, as she jump off the table. Both Haley and Peyton arched their eyes brow at her. "What Chase didn't want to live with two girls, so he needed a guy here for him. You know when I drive him crazy he can escapes"
"So you just went out on the street in flag down so ridiculous loser. Someone who we don't know,Brooke after everything I went through last year with crazy Derek, I don't think this is a good idea."
"Brooke she has a point, you can't just take some stranger off the street" Haley replied, as she continued to unpack.
"Hello I'm not dumb, I would never let some stranger off the street live here."
"So we know this guy" Peyton asked. as she picked up the plates, So was about to put then in them away. When she heard "Hey Brooke, I'm here" the plates crushed to the floor. at the sound of Lucas's voice. "no, no this can't be happening" Peyton thought to herself as she tryed to pick up the broking pieces of glass.
Haley and Brooke study her for a moment before, Haley bend down to help her. "See Lucas is also going to UNC, I thought it would be cool for all of us to live together." Brooke smile faded as she looked at her best friend, who was pale as a ghost. "Peyton what's wrong?" she questioned, as she also bend down.
"Nothing, I'm not really feeling good right now, I think I should go lay down" she said, as she left her two friends standing there worrying
'' I don't get it, Lucas and Peyton are inseparable, why is she acting like this is the worst thing ever" Brooke asked, as Haley just shrug her shoulders. But truth be told Haley did know, Lucas told her what happen between the two. " Come on Hale's let's go help the guys" Brooke said, as she pushed away Peyton reaction out of her head.
Peyton laid on her bed looking up at the clear white ceiling. Her mind was spinning. For three months she pretended that Lucas Scott didn't exists. She pushed him out of her head. And now the sound of his voice made her realizes she never got him out of her heart. She closed her eyes as the last memory of her and Lucas played though her mind.
Flash back the night before Peyton and Brooke left for LA
Peyton and Lucas sat in the middle of the river court. Laughing and talking about their future.
" I really good miss you this summer" Lucas said, as he locked eyes with her. Peyton smiled at him. " me too,but three months will fly by" Lucas nod. He starred at her for a moment taking in her beauty.
Peyton was starting to feel very conformable with his gaze on her. She stood up " I think I should go" she said, as he stood up in front of her. "Oh okay, I hope you have fun,be safe." He pulled her into a hug. "don't forget me when your chasing your dreams." She smiled as she felt him hold her tighter. " I could never forget you" she whispered as she pulled back. She leaned in pressed a light kiss to his lips. She was shocked when she felt him deepened the kiss. Her phone rang. She jump away from him refusing to look at him " I have to go" she said so quickly as she ran to her car. "Why would he kiss me now." she wondered as she drove back to her in Brooke's apartment.
End of flash back.
Lucas stood there starring at the closed door of Peyton's room. He wanted to go see her,but she hasn't talked to him sense she asked him to leave her apartment. Haley walked over to him.
"Hey, do you really think this is a good idea Luke" she asked, with concern in her eyes.
"what are you talking about?"
"Lucas, your in love with Peyton,you two haven't talked sense that night. She avoided you all summer,now your going to live with her." Haley said, as she wrapped an arm around him. "I don't want you to get hurt Luke, I don't want Peyton to get hurt either. This is a bad idea"
"Haley I understand were your coming from. but I can pretend that I don't love her, "he paused, " I need her back in my life, even if we are just friends. I need her Hales" He said, as walked to his room. Haley stood there worrying about what will happen this year. They can't just pretend that don't love each other, can they?
Brooke walked to Peyton's room. "Hey Best friend" she said, as she laid down beside her. "you feeling better" she asked, as the blond nodded. "Well are you going to tell me why Lucas living here is a bad idea"
Peyton looked at her " Brooke it to hard" she replied in sadly
"Peyton what hard, do you still have feeling for him, is that why" Brooke asked, as she watched Peyton close her eyes.
"Yeah I love him Brooke, you know that." she said, it with so much comfort in her voice.
"You want me to asks him to leave" She asked, needed to know what to do next. She didn't want Peyton to feel uncomfortable.
"No, that's not fair to him,I'll be fine I just pretend I'm not in love with him. " Peyton said, she knew she could do it, hell she has been pretending since junior year.
" Pretending is never easy" Brooke replied with sadness in her voice. She wished deep down that her best friend would just tell to him already.
" I'm good at pretending, I pretend all summer he didn't exists" She rolled over to her side
" Peyton what happen the night before we left. Don't tell me nothing because you two were join at the hip. Then the next morning at the airport you didn't even look his way" Brooke asked, desperately needing to know.
Peyton's eyes watered, " We slept together" she whispered, in a low painful voice.
