Keith followed Lucas out of the door pulling it closed behind him. Lucas sat on the living room couch his head in his hands.

Keith- Lucas how could you?

Lucas quickly butted in before Keith could finish his lecture.

Lucas- I don't know Keith, please don't.

Why had he done it? He could string one reason together in his mind that was. Peyton, girl of his dreams, the one who had broken his heart was pregnant with his child. He knew that 4 months ago he would have been almost ecstatic about the prospect of having a baby with her, but now he couldn't even process it.

Lucas- I can't believe that's she pregnant.

Keith- Lucas, you have just completely broken her heart.

Suddenly it hit him; he couldn't believe he had hurt her so badly. He stood making his way to the door. But Keith stood quickly in his way.

Lucas- Keith? Come on move! I need to see her!

Keith- No, you need to leave her alone for now. Luke, after what you said you have to let her come to you. You can't find a quick fix for what you did.

Lucas sat back down and looked directly at the floor in shame. He knew he couldn't fix it quickly. He knew that, he just wished he could.

Lucas- Why didn't she tell me though? I mean I have a right to know.

Keith- Luke, I know this is hard to believe but she has reasons. Personally I don't agree with them, but she has a valid reason.

Lucas- What are they?

Keith- Luke, you know she has to tell her yourself.

He merely nodded and continued to stare at the floor.

Karen had guided Peyton back onto Lucas' bed and sat with her. She held Peyton with one arm and Keith Jr in the other. She had been rocking Peyton for nearly 15 minutes now. She couldn't believe that Lucas had been so cold, for the first time ever she had felt ashamed of him. She knew that it hard to be hard for Lucas to understand but he had really crossed a line with that one.

Peyton- How could he ask me that?

She spoke quietly almost a whisper as tears still streamed down her face.

Karen- Shh. .

Karen now rubbed a soothing hand up and down Peyton's back. They stayed like this for another 15 minutes until Peyton had began to calm and spoke.

Peyton- Thank-you, Karen.

Karen- It's okay.

Peyton- I think I want to go home.

They both stood and walked into the living room and stopped a few feet from the couch.

At hearing the door open Lucas immediately stood taking a step closer to were Peyton had stopped.

Lucas- Peyton, I'm so sorry, I don't know why I did that. I'm so sorry.

As Lucas placed his hand gently on her arm Peyton flinched.

Peyton- I want to go home.

Lucas- Okay. I'll take you.

She took a step back, looking up for the first time the pain clear on her face. She answered quickly.

Peyton- No.

It was almost as if she was scared of him.

Keith- It's okay Peyton. I'll take you.

Lucas could see the tear stains that lined her face. He was almost crying as she walked around him to Keith. He looked at his mother but found no sympathy in her eyes. He hadn't even thought about how much his actions would hurt her until now.

Lucas- Mum, I'm sorry.

She just nodded her head and turned towards her bedroom. Just after he heard the front door shut he heard her bedroom door shut and he was alone. He sank to the floor he back against the wall, his head in his hands and he wept.
