Chapter 4 – Romance is dead, I shot it in the chest then in the head.

"Hey loser," Haley grinned, entering Lucas' room.

"Hey, Hales," He smiled, pecking her lips.

"What're you doing?" She asked, sitting next to him.

"Oh, nothing much," He said. "Anything planned?"

"Actually I was wondering if we could go to Peyton's," She said. "and then celebrate?"

"Of course," He chuckled. "We definitely have to celebrate and I can't wait to show off that you, the one and only, most gorgeous Haley James is my girl friend."

Haley giggled, pecking his cheeks. "I love you."

Lucas stayed quiet, not sure if he was ready to say it yet. "I like you too."

Haley entered the room, holding another 'Get Well Soon' balloon for Lucas.

"That looks bigger," Lucas grinned.

"It is," Haley chuckled. "Ready to go home?"

Lucas nodded, grabbing his blue duffel bag, underneath the hospital bed. "As ready as I'll ever be."

It has been three days since Lucas woke up, shocking everyone because he had amnesia, although with the help of his close friends, that not including his River Court friends helped him. Brooke who has been there with him ever since the accident was not there since he has told her that he'd be going home with Haley. Nathan on the other hand hasn't visited him since the confrontation but they all told him that he did visit, only when Lucas was asleep and for Peyton? He didn't know and somehow, didn't care. Aside from them, his family was always there; especially Haley and he God damn loved every single second of it.

"Haley?" Lucas called, stopping her from her tracks.

"Hmm?" She asked, turning around.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Lucas asked bluntly.

"W-what?" Haley asked, shocked.

He moved closer, cupping her face with his hands. "I really like you Hales and I don't want to take any more time not being to spend each day with you."

"Luke, that's so sweet," Haley blushed.

"So, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes," Haley grinned, tears forming on her eyes.

She never thought this day would happen but when she was younger, she did dream of it but somehow got over it but now that it's happening all those feelings came back to her and as much as she'd like to deny it, he was definitely gorgeous and who the hell can resist Lucas Scott's charm? And for these past few days, she has been falling in love with him and she really was indeed happy.

He grinned, pulling her in for a passionate kiss.

Brooke furrowed her brows, entering Peyton's house followed by Nathan.

"Nate, why's it so dark?" Brooke asked, worried.

"Peyton's dark, Brooke," Nathan chuckled, trying to ease the tension.

"Shut up!" Brooke smacked his chest. "This is no time for jokes, we haven't seen Peyton for 3 days and who knows what my best friend is up to? She could be gone for all we know! ''

'' She's my best friend too, Penelope. '' Nathan laughed, earning another smack from Brooke.

'' I've known her longer. '' Brooke stuck her tongue out.

Nathan shook his head, running upstairs immediately after hearing a loud shrill scream.

"Peyton!" He shouted, barging into her room and spotting a crying Peyton kneeling against the bed; right foot bleeding.

"Shit," He cursed kicking the shards of glass and kneeling beside Peyton. "Peyt, what the hell?"

Brooke entered the room, tears lingering on the side of her eyes after seeing the state her best friend was in.

She looked devastated.

Peyton sobbed louder. "I-I'm sorry."

Brooke ran inside her bathroom, quickly looking for a first aid kit.

Nathan shook his head, hugging her immediately. "Nothing's your fault."

She shook violently against his hug, crying relentlessly again and again, biting her bottom lip to stifle the scream that was trying to come out because every time she moved, it seemed like the glass was getting deeper in her foot.

Brooke came back from the bathroom, sighing. "Nathan, put her on the bed."

He nodded, scooping up Peyton from the ground.

He really needed to have a talk with his brother.

Peyton immediately curled up in a ball, closing her eyes tightly.

Brooke pulled out the tweezers plucking the small pieces of glass on Peyton's foot.

Peyton bit her bottom lip so hard that it almost started bleeding.

"Peyt, don't do that," Nathan sighed, placing his fingers on her lips.

She cringed.

Nathan sighed. "You know what? I think I should call Lucas."

Brooke glared at him. "No."

"Brooke, look at her," He sighed.

"I-It's my fault," Peyton suddenly said, their attention abruptly focused on her.

She sighed, elaborating. "If I-I didn't tell him t-to go away…He couldn't have gotten hit by a car and t-this wouldn't have happened." She cried again.

"Oh, honey," Brooke grimaced.

After treating her foot for a few minutes, Brooke finally wrapped a bandage around it.

Nathan on the other hand was sweeping the floor. "You know, we should be doing the opposite?"

Brooke chuckled. "Shut up and work, sweeper."

Nathan smirked, picking up the torn drawings.

Peyton opened her eyes again, sitting up straight and then unknowingly hugged Brooke and started crying again. "I-I'm really sorry."

Brooke's heart warmed up, hearing her best friend apologize for what she's not done, it really made her smile.

"Nothing, ," She said. "Nothing's your fault."

Peyton shook her head again and again. "You don't know."

"Peyton?" Haley called from downstairs, trying to stop giggling because Lucas was tickling her sides.

Nathan ran downstairs familiar of the voice and he really didn't want them there anymore.

"Nate! What's up?" Haley grinned, moving away from Lucas.

Lucas frowned. "Hey."

"What are you two doing here?" He hissed.

"We have some news!" She smiled, running upstairs and pulling Lucas with her, not caring if Nathan told them not to just by the looks of his face.

Brooke grimaced, seeing two faces she really, really didn't want to see right now.

"W-What happened?" Haley asked, eyes widening at the dull sight in front of her, their lively state immediately fading away.

Brooke gave them an icy glare after seeing their hands intertwined.

Peyton immediately stood up, faking a big grin. "We were just going to re-do my room!"

All of them raised an eyebrow.

"Right Brooke?" Peyton gave Brooke an apologetic smile.

She nodded.

'He doesn't need this right now, me being the pathetic emotional ex girlfriend,' Peyton thought.

"C-Can we join you?" Haley asked, stepping forward. "Then we'll celebrate afterwards."

"For what?" Nathan came in, moving next to Brooke protectively.

"We're together now," Lucas said, smiling happily.

Peyton frowned, hiding it abruptly as soon as they all looked at her. "Great! Congratulations!"

Nathan and Brooke shared a look but they knew they'd talk to her later, they wouldn't let this go away.

Lucas looked around the room, eyeing the broken frame next to the trash can; he looked at it and frowned, the picture of him and Peyton sharing a kiss.

Peyton pulled it from him immediately and smiled. "That's old, I wanted to throw that already, that's why I'm cleaning up."

He nodded; some lingering feeling on the pit of his stomach suddenly forgotten.

Nathan hugged Peyton sideways, kissing the crown of her head. "I'll go get the paint bucket in the basement." He winked; to both Brooke and Peyton.

Brooke smiled, hugging Peyton too.

"What can we do?" Haley asked, sitting on the edge of Peyton's bed.

She shrugged, walking away from her room; she really didn't like Lucas and Haley being there together, she usually never put attention to that but now that they're somewhat a couple, she disliked it; very very much. "I'm going to help Nathan."

They nodded, staying silent until Peyton's footsteps faded into silence.

"You know why she's like that," Brooke hissed. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Lucas backed away, putting a protective hand around Haley. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?" She scoffed, taking a deep breath before starting a rant that she knew would end badly, but whatever; she didn't care.

"Nathan and I came here, wanting to have a fun day with my best friend and you know what happens? We enter her house; it was so dark and we got worried. Then we heard a loud scream, you know why? Because she stepped on glass, from where you ask? From the frame she threw on her closet door . The frame Lucas just now saw. My best friend is hurting for crying out loud! It's because of you!" She pointed at Lucas; not being able to hold back her tears anymore. "For 3 days I haven't seen her! While you two just snuggle up in a corner doing who knows what! Lucas and Peyton are meant for each other Haley! You know that! You fucking know that! After one incident you start becoming a whore, going out with a guy you know has forgotten his past! Lucas was madly in love with Peyton and she's blaming herself for everything! She's apologizing again and again for what she's not done! I know things are going to get worse though, I do. You see this room? It was filled with love, filled with photographs and drawings of Peyton but I enter here, seeing the whole room a mess, the floor filled with torn photographs and drawings, broken things, everything is a mess! Including Peyton! Don't you see Haley? You've made things worse! Lucas is your best friend, Haley. Not your boyfriend! You know that! But why? Why are you doing this? To hurt Peyton? What has she done to you?" She paused trying to collect herself. "You swore upon each other's existence that nothing like this would ever happen! I don't know what'll happen if Lucas get's his memory back, you better change everything now before things get worse Haley. Things are going to get worse and I swear to you Haley, that if anything bad happens to Peyton, you're going down first."

Haley's eyes widened, hugging Lucas abruptly, hiding her face for she didn't want Brooke to see her crying.

Lucas gave Brooke a disgusted look, shaking his head.

Brooke glanced around the room, spotting a box. Immediately knowing that was Lucas' things.

She pulled Lucas away from Haley, giving her a glare.

"What the hell!" Lucas shouted.

She pointed to the box. "Look at that, Luke."

Lucas' brows furrowed.

"That box is filled with your clothes Luke, your things, your memories," She sighed. "Take it with you and leave."

He nodded, carrying the box and leading Haley out of the room.

Things were really going to get worse.

Really, really worse.
