Chapter 2 The Incident

1 month, 3 days and 20 hours ago (but still not counting).

Peyton sat at her desk listening to music as she put the finishing touches on a drawing. One side was Ellie smiling the other was an urn, the caption at the bottom read "Every song ends is that any reason not to enjoy the music."

"Well this is new for you Peyton sitting a lone drawing, I'm shocked." came the mock sincerity from the man by the door.

Peyton spun the seat to face the intruder, "What do you want Luke. If you came here just to make fun of me you can get out." replied the curly haired blonde.

"Wow, I just came to check you were okay, we haven't seen much of you recently."

"I'm fine Luke," answered Peyton as she retuned to drawing.

"Your clearly not Peyton, you keep pushing your friends away every time we try to help you. You need to let us in Peyton." Begged Luke.

In a flash Peyton was standing face to face with Luke. "And what if I don't want your help, did

you ever think about that. Did you ever think maybe I'm happy alone," She began to thumb Lucas' chest with each word as tiers rolled down her checks, "Did you ever maybe like it like that, that way you can't leave me like everyone else, like my mum, like Ellie, like Jake even my own father!"

She countiued to hit his chest but he just wrapped his arms round her and let her cry into his chest. He simply held her close whispered into her hair in an attempt to sooth her.

Once her sobs died down he tilted her chin up to look at him as her gently whipped tiers away with his thumbs.

"I'm not going anywhere Peyton, I will always be here for you," he promised as his blue eyes stared deep into her green ones. His face was barely inches from hers, he could no longer control himself so as he leaned in and closed the gaps between their lips. The kiss was light but full of emotion which made it imposable for Peyton to not kiss back.

The barley lasted 20 seconds before both realised their mistake and split apart. They stared each stared into the others eyes unsure what to say or do, after all it should never of happened. Luke was with Brooke, he didn't want to do anything to risk their relationship and Peyton couldn't lose her best friend again.

But like a student to a toilet after a bad kebab they were drawn together. Their lips crashed together with so much more passion than before. Luke ran his tongue across Peyton lips requesting access which she happily allowed as their tongues began dulling for dominance. They both gave into the undeniable attraction that had been there for so long as Luke push Peyton back till she fell onto the bed their lips never parting.

Luke up buttoned her to shirt to revile a black lace bra, they parted in in of air and Luke began to place light kisses over the newly exposed skin as he pushed the shirt of her pale shoulders. Peyton released a soft moan as her kissed the outline of her bra before her popped the clip at the front freeing her hard peeks. Luke drew back and felt the himself harden uncomfortably in his jeans at the sight of her topless underneath him, mean while Peyton grape the edge his t-shirt and pull it over his head.

As soon as the the shirt was over his head Luke dropped his head and began to suck on her right breast taking the nipple between his teeth and pulling on it. Peyton couldn't help but moan again as she felt her self became moist as he started on her other breast while kneading the other with his hand. When he was done he began to kiss down her stomach. "I've wanted this for so long," he muttered against her stomach. "Me to Luke."

What fallowed made them both realise what people mean when they talk about making love. Peyton had never felt so open and exposed while also feeling safer than she thought possible, while Luke had never so complete. The connection they felt was so strong it was like nothing else existed apart from them in that moment and nothing come in the way of them, but the spell couldn't last.

As they lay holding each other in the aftermath of their passion the spell was shattered when Luke's phone began to play the unforgettable sound set especially for Brooke. Luke fell of the bed as he tried to reach his trousers while Peyton pull the covers around her and watched as Luke answered his phone.

"Hey Brooke what's up? Actually I'm busy right now but I'll see you tomorrow, yeah OK, love you too bye," he hung up the phone and pulled on his boxers, "Sorry about that it was Brooke," When he turn round to Peyton couldn't fail to notice she was dressed and holding his clothes. "What's wrong."

"What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong is we just slept together will your still seeing my best friend, hows that for what's wrong," yelled Peyton. She Luke go to interrupt but got there first, "I think you should go," she said while shoving his clothes at him.

"Come on Peyton don't you think we should talk about what happened?" he said taking his clothes.

"No your with Brooke, what happened was a mistake and won't happen again or be talked about, end of story. Now get out." she answered sharply.

Luke could see how serious she was, he walked into the hall and stopped to pull his clothes on before walking down the stairs and out the door.

Only when Peyton heard the front door close and his car pull away did she allow the tiers to fall as she dropped down and leaned against the bed as she fell apart.
