Chapter 4 - Everything

'I can't tell you how great this day has been, I was totally dreading the whole thought of starting over at a new school but it was completely unnecessary. I met some wonderful people, the first person being Lucas, he helped me out and made me feel welcome, plus he's pretty hot and has these amazing blue eyes. Then there's Brooke she's the head cheerleader and I think we'll become very good friends, she's extremely cheery which is why I like her cause she's so different from myself yet I can see us getting along. She did tell me I should stay away from Lucas cause he's an outsider but he's been good to me and I can see myself being friends with him, besides I'm kinda an outsider myself. Finally there's Nathan he's Lucas' half brother they don't get on and Lucas' told me to be careful around him. But boy is he hot! I don't really know much about him but he invited me to a party so I guess I'll get to know him better.'

She closed her diary and put it in her drawer beside her bed. She grabbed some outfits from her wardrobe and began trying clothes on until she got interrupted by a knock at the door. She walked down the stairs and answered the door.

"Hey!" Brooke said cheerily.

"Hi I see you found it okay then" Peyton replied gesturing her in.

"Yeah I used to have a friend who lived down here. So what's going on with your outfit?"

"Oh I was trying things on and then you interrupted"

"Well lets get you ready we're missing out on party time"

The girls headed to Peyton's bedroom, Brooke helped Peyton choose an outfit, they chatted and began to bond. Peyton was wearing a denim skirt with a sexy yet not slutty black top with matching black boots and she wore her hair in lose curls. Brooke wore a short black skirt, boots and a halter neck top.

"Okay Peyton I think we're ready to go I'll drive"

Ten minutes later they arrived at Nathan's beach house.

"And this is just their house for summer breaks?" Peyton said looking on in amazement.

"Yeah his father is rich he owns his own dealership and his Mom has a well paid job too. You should see their actual house it's like a mansion."

They entered the house and Brooke got them both a drink and started to mingle with the crowd.

"Hey you made it" Nathan said noticing Peyton stood by the window.

"Yeah"

"I'm glad you came"

Peyton didn't know what to say so she just smiled. "So this is a really nice house"

"Yeah it's where I hold all my parties."

"I take it you're like the party king and this is party central"

"Yeah you could say that"

"So Peyton you want a drink?"

"I've got one thanks" Peyton replied picking her drink up off the table and smiling.

"You're really beautiful especially when you smile"

"Thanks you're not so bad yourself."

"So where you from?" He asked

"California"

"Cool why'd you move to Tree Hill?"

"My Dad wanted a change and it's also better for his work down here"

Nathan and Peyton continued chatting for a while and then they all played a game of I never. Once that was over Peyton headed upstairs in search of the bathroom. Nathan noticed her leave and followed her up a few minutes later.

"Oh hey" Peyton said walking out of the bathroom seeing Nathan.

"Hi come here" Nathan said pulling her into an empty bedroom.

"What?"

"I just thought we could hang out alone."

"Okay" Peyton said sitting on the bed. Nathan sat down beside her. He slowly moved in and kissed her, she kissed him back for a moment but then pulled away.

"Look maybe we should go back downstairs"

"I like you Peyton. Don't you like me?"

"Yeah but"

"But nothing we can have our own party up here"

He kissed her again and forced his body on hers making her fall back on the bed. She started to push him away.

"What's your problem?" Nathan asked

"My problem I hardly even know you. Other girls may be willing to jump into bed with you but I'm not one of them" Peyton replied and then stormed off. Nathan thought about what he'd done and realised she was totally right he went after her but she'd already gone.

Peyton was walking the streets of Tree Hill tears streaming down her face. She decided to walk through the park called the Rivercourt as it was quicker to her house. Lucas was playing basketball when he heard footsteps which startled him so he turned around.

"Peyton what are you doing here?" He asked worried as he saw her tear filled eyes.

"I'm just heading home"

"You've been crying what's wrong?"

"It's nothing really"

"Its obviously something if its made you cry. You can tell me"

"The party didn't go too well"

"What party?"

"The one at Nathan's beach house"

"What happened?"

"Nathan just tried it on with me it's not a big deal really"

"Not a big deal. I told you he was trouble" Lucas replied and stormed off. Peyton knew exactly where he was going to go and she couldn't have Lucas get into a fight with Nathan because of her. She ran and grabbed his arm.

"Please just leave it"

"But"

"But nothing he got an ear full from me besides we'd both had a lot to drink, there was no real harm done I'm okay. He'll probably realise he was wrong when he sobers up and he'll apologize. It was just a misunderstanding"

"If it was such a misunderstanding why are you crying?"

"Okay it was partly because of that but it wasn't the only reason"

"Well what was it"

"I'd rather not say it's personal" She was missing home, she did like it here but she missed her old house and being able to go to the cemetery to visit her mother.

"Okay. Do you want me to walk you home?"

"That would be nice"

He smiled and they enjoyed twenty minutes together talking and bonding more until they finally reached her front door.

"Well I'll see you at school"

"Yeah" she replied and he turned and started walking away "Lucas"

"Yeah?" he replied turning around, she walked closer to him and hugged him. Once the hug broke he spoke "What was that for?"

"Just a thanks."

"For what?"

"Everything" She smiled and then walked away and into her house. He waited until she closed the door and then turned away and began walking home smiling, thinking about nothing but the blonde beauty.
