A/N- This is my first Fic so please be nice! Keith didn't die and Karen had a baby boy!
I don't own anything!
She hadn't told him when he'd left. She regretted it some days and she wanted nothing more than to phone him and have him run home to her side. But she had made her decision and it was best. Actually, she hadn't known until after he had left and they had decided not to be together until he was home because it was to hard to be apart, harder than it was to not have each other at all. When she had found out she made the decision because she knew he would have had two options and both would have resulted in worse situation for her than the situation she was currently faced with. He could either; tell her that he wasn't interested in her or her baby and leave her alone and heartbroken. Or he could come home and miss out on his dreams and she refused to be the reason for that her or her baby.
She had told Karen who was a first completely against the whole situation especially her decision not to tell Lucas but she had been in Peyton's position before and had eventually come around to bee the mother figure that Peyton really needed. It was Karen that Peyton ran to when she needed advice, help or even just a shoulder to cry on. Karen even let Peyton stay in Lucas' room sometimes when the pain of being alone and being without Lucas became too much for Peyton to handle.
Peyton had also told Brooke and her Dad. Who had both lectured her as Karen did reminding her that Lucas was not Dan and would want to not know about his child. Brooke had dropped the issue and tried to be the best friend she could for Peyton from so many miles away. She visited as often as she could now that she was attending school in New York and she would phone Peyton almost every night telling her about all the gorgeous ideas she had come up with for baby clothes and for the baby's room. But, her Dad has spent months trying to persuade her that she should tell Lucas. When it all got too much for her she ignored all the ways that he tried to contact her for three weeks. He got the message by the fourth.
Peyton had not attended school that year. She decided that she would have to put school on hold for the sake of her child but promised herself that she would return to it one day. Everyone knew about her decision and her baby, except for Lucas that is. They didn't speak anymore and he didn't come home much. Even when he did they would avoid each other like the plague. It was just too hard. Even so, Peyton had been shocked that he wouldn't be home for Christmas. She couldn't believe that he would miss Keith Junior and James' first Christmas. But partly she was relieved as her pregnancy was showing as she was now nearly 22 weeks pregnant. She knew if he came home she would have to tell him but she didn't know how after she had kept it from him for so long. Sometimes she felt really guilty.
A/N-Should I continue?
