Hello-hello, I got myself into another angsty story idea with Lucas. My other one, His Greatest Loss, is finishing up and I just thought of this idea. Hopefully this one will as popular if not more. ; ) This story will probably have some romance woven in.

Basically the premise is this- It's season one when Peyton still can't stand Lucas and either can Nathan. Lucas has a secret, that only a few important people know, he's been hiding successfully. It surfaces however when Peyton finds out unexpectedly. How will she respond to him knowing his secret? Will things change between the two of them? How about between Nathan and him? Well tune in to Between You and Me and you will find out... ; )


Peyton Sawyer drove alone down the dark streets of Tree Hill. She was on her way to go to yet another party Nathan Scott, her jerk of a boyfriend, was hosting. You would think being the girlfriend of the host of the party would have her riding in the passenger's seat right next to him. However, Nathan's love for her was never consistent. One minute he was showering her with love and gifts but then in the next second he was yelling at her for something. They had fought and broken up at least three times with in the last two weeks. And for some reason she would never understand he would call her the next day pleading with her to take him back.

It drove her crazy inside, the cycle their relationship was stuck in. Did Peyton really deserve all the crap Nathan gave to her? Maybe she did. Maybe she didn't. As she tried figuring it out, she slowed to a red light. She thought about flying through it like she did always to play with fate, but a tow truck stopped in front of her. She sighed and promised she would try again later.

Peyton observed that the truck had Keith's Body Shop logo on it. She had only seen the vehicle when Lucas Scott, the older despised half brother to Nathan, was driving it. She could not stand the guy. He had been a nerd, he tried to steal her and even Nathan's place on the basketball lineup and couldn't play to save his life. Those were Nathan's reasons for hating him. What were hers? He was too good looking, like he had put way too much effort into getting himself ready in the morning. He had not an ounce of fat on his frame making her feel fat around him. He tried to figure her out and unfortunately did a very good job doing it.

Peyton shook her head out of the fog and realized that the light had turned green. She went to ease off the brakes and press the gas pedal, but she noticed Lucas hadn't moved his car yet. She waited no more then ten seconds when she honked her horn to wake up the idiotic kid. Nothing happened.

"Ugh, come on!" Peyton shouted with another impatient honk of her horn.

When Lucas failed to move, Peyton decided to just drive around the loser. She pulled around the left side so she could make some snide remark at his horrible driving skills not to mention his basketball skills. As she passed his driver side window she went to say something, but stopped when she saw something terrifying.

Lucas sat in the front seat convulsing. His whole body completely shook from head to where the car door stopped her line of vision. She instantly slammed on the brakes and bolted out of her car. She flung open the door and saw his entire being succumbed to the seizure he was under.

Somehow Peyton managed to grab his trembling body and pulled him to the ground. She had dealt with her cousin having a seizure once while she was babysitting him since he was prone to febrile seizures, so she knew what needed to be done. She took off her cheerleading jacket and placed it under his head so he would not hurt his head in anyway. After unbuttoning the dress shirt he was wearing, Peyton went to call 911.

Just as she pulled out her phone, the convulsing halted completely. The boy opened his eyes and looked up at her. His once ocean blue eyes don't ask how Peyton knew and cared about his eyes before this event, descended to dark grey. His skin was pale and his lips were brown. He looked up at her with confusion written all over his face.

Lucas had no idea where he was or what Peyton Sawyer was doing above him. She looked confused yet still beautiful as always. He could not explain the roaring pain coming from his head or the exhaustion he felt. He felt like he just sprinted around the enter world three times. What had happened?

Then a ton of bricks had fallen on him as he realized what had happened. He had just had a seizure. Something, thankfully, he had not experienced in a year. How was it possible, after three years of eyeing him closely and then a year free the doctors told him he was seizure free and could return to a normal life of a teenager? He was doing just that by going to his jerk of brother's party. He really had no desire too but promised Haley he would go and try to hang out with some of the nicer guys on the team.

Lucas had a feeling he wasn't going to make it the party. However he still was confused what Peyton was doing near him. Had she seen him have it? She stared down at him with concern burning those pretty green eyes. Trying to avoid her pitiful glare, he attempted to sit up. He felt nauseous, like when you get head rush in the morning when you get out of bed too fast. His stomach turned and he did as well just in time to puke all over the ground twice. Once he was finished, Lucas looked brought his attention back To Peyton.

Just as his gaze was shifting over to her, he noticed a great wet spot on his black slacks just below his waist. Great, he had lost all bladder control in the middle of his seizure. This was getting better by the moment. Not only did he have a seizure, but his childhood crush was right next to him during it all. Just great.

"Are you alright?" Peyton asked softly with compassion glazing her words.

Lucas never had been the recipient of her compassion and had to think he liked it a lot. Usually, she was cold and despondent towards him no matter how kind he treated her. He always figured Nathan, his stupid little half brother, influenced how she treated him in someway.

"Yeah," Lucas answered wiping the corners of his mouth. "I'm fine."

Lucas struggled to stand up and to both of their surprise Peyton aided him. "Whoa tiger, aren't you getting up a little too fast? You just had a seizure."

Lucas laughed a short humorless laugh, "Unfortunately, I'm a pro at seizures."

He dusted off his clothes, fixed the collar of his shirt, and opened the door to the truck. "Thanks for the help, I probably should go home. Nathan and the guys would never live it down if they saw me with this wet stain. They already have enough to make fun of me about."

"Are you sure you can drive yourself home?" Peyton asked with concern yet again.

Lucas really was taken back by her gentleness. He almost wanted to milk the stupid seizure for all it was worth, but then again he could not stand the idea of her knowing a great big secret only a few people knew about.

"I've got it from here, thanks." He went to get in the truck but stopped and said with a great level of seriousness as he looked her in the eye. "Don't tell anyone what you saw, alright? No one at school knows, except for a few people that need to know. Let's keep it between you and me, okay?"

"Why would I want to talk about you anyway? I'm dating your better looking half brother and enemy, I could care less what happens to you." She responded a lot colder then she would have liked.

Lucas smiled. There was the old Peyton he knew. He could take this one since she knew a deep dark secret. Hopefully it would stay that way. He hopped in his car and proceeded to drive home. As much as he was thankful that the old Peyton returned, he couldn't shake two things out his head. Those beautiful green eyes full of compassion towards him. Maybe the seizure would shake up things between them, no pun intended.
