Everything up to season 2 has happened except for the dealership fire and Peyton's mom returning. The title of the chapter is a song by Blue October.
Two Lonely Souls
Into the Ocean
"Looks like it's just you and me this summer" Lucas said to Peyton as he sat down next to her on the beach. She turned to him and hugged him and he held her in that hug for a few seconds. They pulled away "Peyton, what's wrong?" he asked really concerned
"Nothing…" she simply said
"Come On, lets take you home" he told her
"No, I can't be there alone…will you stay with me?" she said looking at him
With his left eyebrow raised he nodded. He stood up and then extended his arm to help her up. Putting his arm around her waist and hers around his they walked to Peyton's house. Once they got there Peyton collapsed on her bed and then sat up. Lucas sat at her desk chair. Contemplating what he had done earlier that day.
"What's on your mind, Lucas?"
"Uhhh…I kind of told Brooke I wanted to be with her…with her cab right outside."
Peyton felt like her heart was just ripped out of her and stomped on. The truth was it was Lucas who she wanted to be with not Jake. She thought she loved Jake but the past couple days being alone for some reason thoughts of Lucas came rushing back into her mind especially after Brooke told her that she found a box of a bunch of her stuff in his closet.
"You alright, Peyt?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." She said nervously "So…what did she say?"
Lucas looked down and then looked back up at her, "she said she was sorry but she had to go."
"Oh, Lucas I'm sorry." Peyton said
"No, really it's fine. She's just scared. After everything that happened last semester with me and her and well you. I don't blame her."
Brooke hadn't told Peyton that she was into Lucas but Peyton knew that she had feelings for him again. She started remembering all the drama that had happened between her and Brooke. She had lost her friend of 10 years over a boy, but this boy was Lucas. Lucas really understood Peyton. He could read right through her, he knew everything about her and they shared something that no one else could feel.
"Yeah…" is all she could manage to say.
"Ok Peyton. I know something is up with you. Tell me what's going on."
Peyton took a deep breath. "Ok, Lucas. The thing is…" she paused for a second "alright ok you see the thing is" she paused again and then looked at a picture she had drawn of her, Brooke, and Lucas shooting a heart that was up on her wall.
"Peyton, What's the thing?" he asked puzzled
Peyton decided not to tell him how she felt at least not yet. "Actually it's nothing. Will you just stay with me tonight. I feel kind of alone."
Lucas knew there was something up with Peyton but he didn't want to push it out of her anymore. He decided they could sleep it off and then let her open up tom. or sometime in the future. They had a falling out in their friendship and it wasn't to long ago that they were finally getting back to the way they were.
"I'll sleep on the couch downstairs, I guess."
"Lucas, don't be stupid. Sleep here" she said patting empty space on her bed. Lucas nodded, he turned off the lights and went to lie on her bed. They laid there in the silence. All Peyton could think about is how much she wanted Lucas and all he could think about is how much he wanted to be with Brooke.
Ok there's the end of that chapter. Let me know if I should continue or not. I kind of know what I might want to write. Anyway please review.
