Chapter 1 – Never the same.

'' No! You slept with her while we were dating! That is not tolerable Luke! '' Peyton ran a hand through her hair, tears streaming down her face.

'' Peyton, I was drunk; I didn't know what I was doing! Dammit! '' Lucas sighed.'' It was a mistake. ''

'' No It wasn't, You made love with Nikki, After I told you I wasn't ready to get in bed with you! ''

'' Peyton, Don't make this harder '' Lucas sighed.

'' Luke, You just screw things up with us every time. If you don't love me you should just tell me! '' Peyton sighed as she broke down.

'' Peyton! '' He yelled as he ran over to her.

'' No Lucas, Leave me alone! '' She screamed, getting out of his grip.

'' Peyton, Please, I'm sorry. '' He said, in a soft voice. '' I love you. ''

'' You love me? '' She hissed. '' If you love me, then prove it! If you loved me why did you sleep with Nikki? If you loved me why didn't you listen to me when I told you to wait? You don't love me Lucas, You don't. We both know that; just stop playing around with my feelings! '' She broke down, crystal tears rolling down her cheek.

'' Peyton! I'm not lying, I promise that I won't ever hurt you again; I love you, soo much. '' He sighed, as he helped her stand up.

'' Then why did you sleep with her? '' She whispered.

'' It was a mistake Peyton. '' He sighed.

'' I don't think I can trust you anymore Luke, Y-You used to have this big crush on her when we were in sixth grade. How Do I know you if you still love her or not? How do I know If you're just being with me to get to her? '' She sighed, wiping away her tears.

'' Peyton, I love you, I love you with all my heart, you're the one for me, I know you are! I don't like her, let alone love her! I could never love anyone that's not you Peyton! '' He confessed.

'' Lucas, I don't think we'll ever be the same again, I think you should go… ''

'' Peyton please think this through, please don't give up, don't give up on us. '' He sighed

'' Lucas, that's up to you. Not me… '' She sighed, burying her face into her pillow, and with that Lucas sighed, leaving the room.

Lucas entered his truck, took out his cell phone and dialed the very familiar number.

'' Luke? ''

'' Ey' Man. Listen, River court in 20 minutes, I need to think '' Lucas sighed.

'' Okay, I'll see you there ''

'' Thanks. '' Lucas hung up and drove, passing Karen's Café, He sighed, it reminded him of their first date.

~Flashback.

'' Wow, you're mom did a good job. '' Peyton's eyes beamed, looking around the room.

'' Yeah, Today's the opening. '' He chuckled, scratching the back of his head.

'' I know, you told me that a thousand times '' she laughed, rolling her eyes.

'' Who's coming to play? '' Peyton asked, pointing to a stage that was all set.

'' Gavin DeGraw '' He smiled.

Peyton sighed, she loved his smile, she had loved his smile since forever.

'' He's awesome! '' She grinned.

'' You've heard of him? '' Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow.

'' Are you kidding me? The whole universe knows about him '' She laughed.

'' Then I guess he's awesome. '' He laughed, emphasizing the word 'awesome.'

'' You have no Idea. '' Peyton grinned.

'' Lucas? Peyton? Glad you could make it '' Deb walked over to them, smiling.

'' Mrs. Scott! Hi, It's great to see you '' Peyton smiled as she and Deb hugged.

'' Is Nathan here? '' Lucas asked

'' Yeah, he's here with Brooke '' Deb smiled.

'' Obviously '' Peyton laughed.

'' Okay, I'll see you guys later, Hope you're having fun '' Deb smiled and walked over to Karen.

'' Bye Deb '' Peyton waved.

'' Luke, thanks for bringing me here, You're mom did a really good job, this place is awesome '' Peyton grinned. '' I swear I'm gonna come here every day '' Peyton laughed.

'' Well, I guess that's an advantage for me since I'll be seeing you everyday '' Lucas smiled, leaving Peyton breath taken.

End of Flashback

Lucas was soo busy daydreaming that he hadn't noticed he had run a red light, a truck speeding towards him, he was blinded by the lights of the huge truck, His vision started getting blurry, all he could do was think of Peyton.

'' Peyton … '' Lucas called out softly, and that was the last word he had said before he blacked out.
