The Saddest Song
Chapter 4 - Carve your heart out yourself
A/N - Ok, here's Chapter 4 and I hope you guys all like it. I see you liked the last one, because I got a lot of reviews. I'm not sure how great this is gonna be but here it is:
The kisses were deeper and more passionate the longer they went. People walking by on the boardwalk and beach were smiling at the two young kids in love. They didn't need to know the real situation. Peyton pulled back, she feared the feelings she felt would be a little too revealing on the beach. She laughed at herself and Luke gave her a confused face. She waved it off, which left them in an awkward silence.
"Heh," Lucas said giving a nervous laugh, "I guess it's a good thing we stopped," he said flashing his Scott grin.
She hit him playfully in the arm and was laughing. She was thinking of the nice little show they put on for the people walking by.
"We sure put on a show, huh?" she asked with a laugh.
"Hey, those old people could use a little action," he said pulling her back into his arms.
Everything became quiet again and they just sat there until Lucas felt his stomach rumble. Peyton felt it too and started to laugh at him.
"How bout some lunch?" he asked reaching for his bag.
He pulled out a couple of sandwiches, 2 sodas, and a bag of Doritos. He smiled and threw a sandwich right towards her. She caught it and made a face.
"Not a bad lunch, Scott," she said lightening the mood again.
"I try," he said taking a huge bite from his ham and cheese. He opened his Pepsi and took two huge gulps from that.
"Luke, food is not going out of style there. You can put it down for a second," she said teasing him. He rolled his eyes and threw a chip at her.
"You're lucky I'm still trying to eat here or this would be an all out war," she said in a mock-serious tone.
"Ooo, now I'm scared," he said polishing off his sandwich.
She laughed at him. "You should be. I can be tough." She tried to flex her muscles and he laughed.
"Do you think this will change things between you and Brooke?"
"Maybe, but I'm enjoying time with you more," she said as her eyes glazed over with tears.
"What?...What's wrong?" he asked worried he did something wrong.
"Nothing...it's just my mom said that to my dad before and I just remembered..." she was saying before she got cut off.
"Her anniversary," Lucas said finishing her sentence. He pulled her into a hug and just held her.
She tried to hold in her tears, but it wasn't much use. She began to cry and tried to push away from Luke. This only caused him pull her back and hold her tighter.
"It's ok. There's no shame in crying," he whispered and she smiled feeling safe and ok with herself.
School was only about half way through, but once again Nathan and Haley cut out early. They were lying on her bed talking about a bunch of things. Nathan wondered how he ended up with such an amazing girl. She was everything he could've ever wished for. He was everything she'd ever dreamed about.
"Where's Luke today?" he asked hiding the jealousy he felt about his older brother.
"Him and Peyton had a date type thing today. They went down to the beach," Haley answered happily.
"Gee, he just can't stop switchin girls, can he?" Nathan mumbled under his breath. He was caught though.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Haley asked obviously pissed, "will you ever be ok with him?"
He decided to not answer and just sit with a frown on his face.
"You're both very important to me and you're just going to have to deal with that!" she yelled.
"Are we the same importance...huh, Haley?!" he yelled right back being a smartass.
'I don't know yet,' she thought, but she wouldn't let him know. "You need to leave, Nathan!" she demanded. He listened and walked out dejectedly.
Peyton's face was still tear-stained as she sat on the beach with Luke. She was staring out to the ocean and thinking over some things. She shivered a little and before she could say anything to Luke he was standing in front of her with a sweatshirt in his hand.
"Always the considerate one, Luke," she said grinning.
He wiped the tears off her cheeks and held his hands out for her to stand up. She willingly accepted and they began to walk.
"So about us..." she said leaving her words hanging.
"Well, we are whatever you want us to be," he responded still staring straight ahead.
She was just about to answer when they heard music playing in the background. There was a small band on the boardwalk playing some songs from some popular bands. Peyton recognized the song they were playing and gave a small squeal. Lucas offered his hand to dance and pulled her close.
Carve your heart out yourself / Hopelessness is your cell / Since you've drawn out these lines / Are you protected from trying times? / Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has / But lord, it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all.
He made her body flush with his as she closed her eyes and laid her head on his shoulder.
"I want to always feel this way," she said in a barely audible voice.
"I want to always make you feel this way," he answered.
Oh look now, there you go with hope again / Oh you're so sure that I'll be leaving in the end
Brooke was just heading to cheerleading practice and she was questioning everyone. She wanted to know where Peyton was. She knew she had been talking to Luke, but didn't know of their date. One girl walked up and said she heard them at lunch they were talking about ditching school today and go to the beach with Luke. Now Brooke was seething with anger.
Dig your ditch deep enough / to keep you clear of the sun / You've been burned more than once / You don't think much of trust / Man it takes a silly girl to lie about the dreams she has / But lord, it takes a lonely one to wish that she had never dreamt at all.
Peyton's cell phone rang and she pulled away from Luke to answer it. Her caller ID said Brooke so she planned to hurry.
"Hello?"
"Peyton, where are you?" Brooke asked in a false cheery tone.
"Oh, I had to go to the doctor. I'm going in now so I'll call you back," Peyton rambled hanging up.
She looked at Luke. He had a question in his eyes but he wiped it away when she stepped back into his arms. He got a warm feeling in the pit of his stomach and he knew it was right.
Oh look now, there you go with hope again / But I'll be sure you're secret's safe with me / Oh you're so sure that I'll be leaving in the end / You're treating me like I'm already gone / But I'm not; I will stay where you are always.
Brooke was furious now. Peyton lied to her. She knew she was with Luke and she was happy. This was something Brooke couldn't stand. Brooke was determined to make their lives a living hell.
Peyton couldn't help but wonder if the call was a sign. A sign that she couldn't be with Luke because she'd already hurt Brooke. She didn't have the heart to tell Luke as they continued walking. The song was over, but Peyton still wanted to be in his arms.
Luke was wondering what they were supposed to be. She hadn't clarified what "they" were. He knew he wanted to be her boyfriend. The person she turned to. He didn't know what she wanted.
'I'm gonna hurt us both, but maybe it's not the right time for "us". How do I tell him though? ' she asked herself.
OK HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED. I LOVE THE WAY THE LEYTON PARTS TURNED OUT. I HOPE YOU DID. REVIEW IF YOU'D LIKE MORE. TELL ME WHAT YOU THOUGHT. THE SONG WAS DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL - CARVE YOUR HEART OUT YOURSELF.
NEXT - How does she tell him? / His reaction / Naley make-up? / Brooke and Peyton / What does Jake think? / Does he like Peyton / School on Monday / Luke and Nathan / Prom approaching...
Plus, their night on the boardwalk. Jake will be included in the next chapter and his feelings about Peyton. All the characters will somehow make an appearance. Review for more. Will update soon!!
