"Peyton?" Lucas said, surprised to see her.
"I heard about Nathan." Peyton said
"Yeah, he's going to be okay," Lucas said, relieved. "So' what's up?" he asked, when he realized Peyton wasn't leaving.
"Lucas, I made a mistake," Peyton blurted. "When you said you wanted to be with me, I got, I got scared, but,"
"Peyton," Lucas said, trying to stop her.
"But, the truth is…I want all the same things that you want, I do. And I want them with you." She smiled, waiting for him to say something.
"Okay, superstar, are you ready to score?" Brooke asked, skipping into the room.
Peyton took in Brooke's appearance and her eyes widened. She was wearing Lucas's grey hoodie…and nothing else.
"Hey we missed you after the game tonight," Brooke said, when she noticed Peyton in the room.
"Yeah. I guess I just kind of got turned around," Peyton said turning to leave.
"Peyton" Lucas called out to her, making her pause.
Brooke looked between the two of them wondering what was going on.
"Brooke, I'm sorry…but I can't do this," Lucas said, turning to look at the brunette. "I really like you…but I want to see if Peyton and I can make this work-"
"Say no more," Brooke said, with a sad smile. "I'll leave you two to talk,"
She went into his room to get her clothes. She sighed.
Of course Lucas wanted to give it a try with Peyton.
She was Brooke Davis. She was the one you went to if you wanted to have a good time but not the one men chose when they wanted something serious.
She never got the guy.
She fought tears.
She heard Lucas and Peyton talking.
"You really mean it?" Peyton asked.
"Yeah, I want to give us a chance." He said.
Brooke slipped out the front door not wanting to face them.
Tomorrow she was going to be Team Leyton but tonight she was mourning the end of Brucas before it even had a chance to begin.
Just for tonight.
