AN: Haven't got round to watching the movies you suggested and I didn't want to have my faithful readers and reviewers without an update this week so I wrote a short chapter to pass the time seeing as I didn't have time to see the movies. Hopefully I should have the movies watched and the next chapter written by next week. Hopefully…

"Wait!" shouted Haley, much to the alarm of Lucas who was in the crossfire as she waved her arms around, "Stop the movie!"

Lucas did as he was told but raised his eyebrows at her as he said, "Why must we stop the movie?"

"We haven't got junk food. You can't watch a movie without popcorn and ice cream and sweets."

"Urgh…I don't think I could eat any of that. I'm not hungry." Said Peyton, groaning at the thought of putting any kind of food in her mouth.

Lucas gave her a concerned look which went unnoticed by Peyton.

"Lucas, I'm going out!" Karen shouted from the kitchen, "Jake's shift is about to end. Soup's in the saucepan."

Lucas got up and headed towards his mother, "Hey Mom, wait up! Do you need any help?"

"It's fine Lucas," she smiled at her son. Even with one functioning arm, he still wanted to help out at the cafe, "Keep an eye on Peyton. Make sure she eats something – not just junk food - and I should be back by eleven."

Lucas nodded and waved her off with his one good arm.

When he returned to Peyton and Haley, carrying a bowl of chicken soup for Peyton, he widened his eyes at the amount of junk food that had been shoved on the table. "Haley, where did this all come from?"

"Uh, I kind of hid a sugar stash the last time I was here.

"Right…" He smiled at Peyton, "Here's your soup."

"Lucas, I'm not-"

"No excuses. My Mom orders it and you haven't eaten all day so your gonna eat this or I'm gonna have to play nurse."

"The outfit would suit you." Peyton replied before laughing out loud at the image of Lucas in a nurse' uniform.

"I'm sure it would but I think it would look better on you." Replied Lucas before realising the impact of his response. He had just walked into dangerous terriotary and flirting with each other meant it couldn't get anymore dangerous.

The room fell silent as baby blue eyes met green in an uncomfortable but drawing gaze.

"Come on Lucas. Hurry up and sit down. I wanna watch the movie." Said Haley, in an attempt to break the tension.

Those two were walking on eggshells around each other and sometime soon they would break and leave nothing but the truth. That was undeniable fact.

Lucas placed the soup on the table infront of Peyton and took his seat beside Haley, a light smile on his face but it was a smile Haley liked to refer to as the 'awkward smile' reserved for special occasions such as these.

As she pressed play Haley couldn't help but think that the only problem that she saw when she looked at those two was if they could accept the truth or if they would just push it away…again.
