An: Alright so here is yet another story by me, but I keep getting these ideas in my head and I want to share with you guys. This story is going to be different from my other stories, but it is still a Leyton fanfic because I do love Leyton.

Summary: So here is my idea...What if Larry had been around while Peyton was growing up, and he was very strict on her. I picture him being this very overbearing father that just wanted to protect his daughter. Peyton's life is very different. This story takes place when Peyton is about sixteen. Lucas and Nathan are brothers but they don't hate each other. Keith and Karen are married and have an eight year old daughter, Lily. Haley and Peyton are best friends. Nathan and Lucas are the most popular guys in school, and Brooke and Lucas are dating at the moment.

I hope you guys will enjoy this story.

A Father's Love

Ch. 1- Peyton's World

Peyton Sawyer had been through a lot in her sixteen years of life. She had lost her mother when she was only ten, and because of her father's overbearing nature she lost her best friend Brooke when they were thirteen. Brooke wanted to be apart of the wild and crazy popular world, and Larry did not want that for his little girl.

Peyton didn't have it bad though. Her father loved her, and she and her best friend Haley always found away to have fun without getting into trouble.

Peyton heard the dreaded alarm going off. Oh damn she thought. She didn't want to wake up. She leaned over and hit the snooze, but it was too late her father was right on time. "Hey honey" he greeted her very cheerfully. "It is time to wake up pumpkin" He pulled the covers off of her.

She rolled her eyes and pulled the covers back over her. "Daddy can't I have five more minutes" she begged.

"If I give you five more minutes you will never wake up. So up and at it...Let's go" He gave her a kiss on the forehead and walked out of the bedroom. She sighed. Her dad always made sure she was on time. He had so many rules for her to follow, some times she had a hard time keeping up. She sat up in her bed and thought about what she was going to wear. As she made her way out of her bed she heard her phone going off. She smiled as she looked at the caller ID. "Hey Haley"

"Hey girly I'm surprised your awake"

"Yeah well my dad always makes sure I'm on time. What's on your mind"

"Well I was thinking you should dress cute today. Word on the street is Lucas and Brooke had a fight which means you might actually have a chance with the hunky basketball star." Haley squealed into the phone.

"Ha...that is so funny Hales. Never gonna happen. Besides even if Lucas might like me just a little bit my dad would never let me go out" Peyton said unfortunately her dad had a lot of rules.

"Come on...If Lucas Scott likes you then your dad can just go jump in a lake"

Peyton laughed. Haley wasn't a big fan of Larry. "Haley...That's not very nice, my dad wants to protect me."

"I doubt your going to need protecting from Lucas Scott. I think you can hold your own"

"Peyton breakfast is ready" Larry screamed from downstairs.

"Listen Hales I've got to go but I'll see you at school" Peyton said

"Ok but remember you've got to look hot today." Haley said as she hung up the phone.

Peyton stood up and thought about what Haley said. She had to look hot. She looked through her closet, and finally found the perfect outfit.

About fifteen minutes later Peyton walked downstairs wearing a short blue jean skirt and a black tank top that revealed a little of her stomach. Larry turned around from the stove and shook his head no. "Go change"

Peyton sighed in disbelief "Dad this is cute"

"Not on my sixteen year old daughter. Now go change"

Peyton usually didn't argue but Haley had insisted she look hot. "No..I don't want to change. I like what I'm wearing"

Larry walked closer to his daughter and raised his voice a little bit this time "Well if you don't want to be grounded for the next year you will take your little chicken legs upstairs and put on some clothes. Is that understood"

Peyton knew she had lost the argument "Fine" She walked towards the stairs. "But I don't like you very much right now"

Peyton came back down the stairs fifteen minutes later wearing blue jeans and the same time but a jacket over it, and the jacket was zipped almost all the way up. "Are you happy now?"

Larry smiled is satisfaction "Yes there's my beautiful daughter I love so much." He kissed her forehead. "We've got to get going. Grab you some breakfast to go"

Larry drove Peyton to school like he did every single day. Her mother had died in a car accident, and he didn't want Peyton to drive. "Dad when can I start driving myself to school?"

"Maybe next year" Larry said.

"Yeah I doubt it I'll see you later. Haley will bring me home." She got out of the car, and her dad rolled down the window.

"I love you princess" Peyton rolled her eyes. He always told her that and it was so embarrassing.

"Bye dad" Peyton started walking towards the building when Haley caught up to her.

"Hey" She looked at her outfit "What are you wearing?"

"My dad wouldn't let me out of the house, but I brought it here. You told me to look sexy today and I'm going to look sexy" Peyton smiled as she took her blue jean skirt out of her bag. Haley smiled. She liked when Peyton went against her dad.

Haley and Peyton came out of the bathroom and Peyton was wearing the skirt she had on previously. "Damn you look hot. I think everyone is staring at you."

"I doubt it" Peyton didn't believe her, but everyone was looking at her, and then she saw him. God he was absolutely gorgeous. She had never seen anyone as beautiful as Lucas Scott. He had perfect blue eyes and gorgeous blonde hair. She walked passed him and for the first time she stopped him in his tracks. Haley let out a small squeal. Maybe Lucas Scott would give her a chance for the first time. She had wanted him to notice her since they were in the seventh grade and maybe with Brooke out of the picture he would.

Peyton was at her lockers getting her books ready for study hall when her locker shut. She turned to see Lucas Scott standing next to her. "Hi I'm Lucas"

Peyton was nervous because he had finally spoken to her. "I know...I mean hi...I'm Peyton"

"Nice to finally meet you. I've noticed you around."

"Really" She was surprised. It had to be the short skirt.

"Yeah...You're really cute" He was being really flirty.

"Thanks"

"Listen I wanted to invite you to a party at my brother's beach house tonight. It's after the basketball game. Are you coming to the basketball game?" Lucas asked hoping she would say yes.

"Yeah" She lied. She and Haley never went to those things, but Haley could sacrifice a Friday night for her best friend.

"Well I really hope you'll come to the party. It is going to be alot of fun especially if you are there" He smiled that beautiful smile of his.

Peyton nodded. "Yeah I would like that a lot. Thanks for the invite" They bell rang.

"Oh well I better get going. I can't wait to see you at the party. I can assure you we will have a good time." Lucas said as he walked down the hall.

Peyton could not believe that she had been invited to a party. It wasn't any party though. It was a Lucas Scott party. She leaned up against her locker. She was so happy, and nothing was standing in the way of her getting to know Lucas Scott. Oh crap she thought as she realized there was one thing getting her way....HER FATHER

Alright so that is the first chapter. Let me know what you think and if I should continue with this story.
