Nathan & Haley's House
Everybody had started to show up for the rehearsal , everybody was still waiting on Emily when Brooke walked in from the Patio with a stunned look on her face. She walked into the living room where Chase, Haley, Nathan and Luke were standing around talking to other guests. "Brooke" Haley said alarmed by her face which had gotten the attention of everybody in the room. "what's wrong" "umm she's gone" "who's gone" Luke asked in a panicked tone. " umm ahh my cat yeah my cat" " What" everybody yelled simultaneously " What cat ? "Chase said confused while they all looked at him " We don't hav-" but was cut off by the evil death glare Brooke was giving . " oh the cat right, she so quiet sometimes I forget we have one." he added nervously. " I there was a umm message on my voicemail from our neighbor and she said my cat ran away ." she said stumbling . "Um Chase, Haley can I talk you guys for a minute outside." Both Chase and Haley looked at each other strangely . Brooke walked outside with Chase and Haley following closely behind whispering to each other " I sure her cat will come back why is she so upset " Haley said. " uhh we don't have a cat" Chase replied as they walked out the back door.." ok Brooke what is going on you are acting really strange, I mean more that usual" Haley chuckled. "Its Peyton" " What about her?" Chase Asked. "She left. She the one that's gone." "Well I went to go call her to make sure she knew what time to be here and I saw that I had missed her call and I checked my voice and she left me a message about how she cant do this to him and she sorry " Wait cant do what to who? "Chase asked " Baby I love you but you really need to keep up" Brooke said "Anyways log story short she went home." " What " Haley shouted " I can't believe she went home, what made her change her mind?" " That's probably my fault" a voice said from the doorway. " Nate" Brooke said shocked "What are you doing wait what do you mean your fault?" Brooke asked . " While you guys were out shopping Peyton came over her to talk to me about Luke and she told me what she was really doing here and then she asked me if I thought he was happy with Emily and I told her that he was." " Oh Nathan " Haley said sadly " I'm sorry guys but I just told her the truth." " Told who the truth about what? Lucas asked Everyone turned around with a petrified look on their faces. " Umm I had to tell Brooke the truth about her cat." " Ok Brooke what's with the cat when did you become such an animal lover, and isn't Peyton allergic to cats why does she let you keep it around? " He asked" Um she doesn't really know about it so if you could keep it between us that would be great.." She said " Speaking of Peyton where is she? You guys told her what time to be here right? Everybody froze and then "Umm yeah they all said" in panic-stricken voices." Ok well hurry up and come inside everybody is already here . "Ok we'll be in a minute" Haley answered. "Look you guys she told me not tell anybody that she left especially Lucas" "What" Haley yelled " Shhhh!!" everybody whispered "I'm Sorry" she lowered her voice. " but how in the hell are we supposed to keep her leaving a secret he is already asking for her" she whispered. " We just figure out a way , It's what she wanted" Karen said as she snuck up and startled them. " You know don't you ?" Brooke stated. "She came to me this afternoon and told me everything. " Are you guys coming in?" Emily stuck her head out to ask. " You people are going to ruin my rehearsal dinner by standing out here all night." Haley turned to all of them" You know I actually used to like her." All five of them walked back into the house. The rehearsal went by quickly and now it was time for the dinner. Lucas walked over to where his mom and Brooke were standing. " Hey you guys I really need to talk to Peyton I haven't seen her all night where is she?" " Umm you know what Broody I just saw her leave a few minutes ago she said something about her dad and she left." " I just really need to talk to her before tomorrow." "Why what's going " his mother asked curiously . " I want going to tell you guys but, Emily said she didn't feel comfortable with her there and I have to tell her she can't come." " Lucas regardless of what happened to you guys you two were friends for a very time you shouldn't just "but she was cut off " ah um! "Brooke said as she nudged Karen in the side. "oh right " " Lucas you that' s a shame but we understand but you know what I think it will be better coming from me so um I'll just tell her later when I see her ok great thank s bye." Brooke incoherently rambled while walking away and grabbing Karen with her.. " Ok that was weird" Lucas said to himself. The Dinner finished and everybody was headed home. Lucas walked Emily to her car. " Can you believe tomorrow we are getting married and we are going to spend the rest of our lives together.. " Lucas froze at those words " rest of our lives" "great "he said quietly. "ok so your going to spend the night here right?" " Hello Luke" "huh oh yeah I'm staying here." " Good I don't want you at your moms with her there." I know I get it you don't like her." " Good I knew you would see it my way, now me and the girls will be at my apt having a slumber party ,kinda like a last hoorah!!" " So you invited Brooke and Haley too. " " oh god no why would I want them there? ""Em" He said sternly " ok baby I gotta go see you in the morning." " Yeah I'll see you tomorrow" he said distraughtly .
Los Angeles
Peyton unlocked the door to the dark and quiet house.. She threw her suite case on the couch , and walked over to the answer machine and saw the flashing red light that blinked 8 over and over, she hit the play button. "P.Sawyer" Brooke yelled thru the machine "what is wrong with you , you cant just leave me a message that you are leaving she continued to yell thru the machine until she was cut off this continued for six more messages each one getting cut off mid sentence and the next one starting with stupid answering machine. Peyton took a seat on the couch, just thinking about how crazy she must have been to have thought it would have been a good idea to stop his wedding the day of it." He deserves to be happy" she thought to herself she reached into her pocket to find the letter she had written a year ago but never had the guts to give him, but when she reached into her pocket it wasn't there " Where is that stupid letter I know I had it before I left Karen's" she thought. She over to her suit case and started throwing everything out of it piece by piece." Oh my god where the hell is it? " she yelled at nobody." "Think Peyton think where was the last place you saw it?" She remembered before she left grabbing her jacket that the letter was in. "Oh crap it must have fallen out of the pocket so it has to be in Lucas's old room " she gasped!
Back at Nathan and Haley's House
Lucas slowly waked back up to the house with a somber look on his face he opened the door " Luke" Haley asked" Oh nothing you know what Hales I'm going to go for a walk I'll be back later. "Do you want some company?" she asked hopefully? " No thanks I just need to clear my head" he answered. "ok well don't be too late you have a big day tomorrow and you'll need some sleep to do it." Lucas had walked around for about an hour. Everywhere he passed reminded him of Peyton, why did he keep doing this to himself . Peyton let go and moved on why couldn't he? I should just be happy with Emily. He was kept walking until he ended up in front of his mom's house. Maybe If I just talk to her I can move on. He knocked on his old bedroom door which felt odd to him but he didn't want to walk in on her again. Hw knocked but there was no answer so he just walked in. "Peyton are you here?" he asked. "Peyton" he said again. He looked around and saw no sign of her no suite case nothing he could still smell the faint sent of vanilla which he loved so much. Emily always smelled so flowery which usually gave him a headache. " where could she be?" he said . "she left" Startled he jumped up. " ahh mom you scared me." He had put his had over his chest to calm his rapid heart beat. " " Wait what fo you mean she left, I wasn't supposed to tell you , she asked me not to because she didn't want you to worry but she left this afternoon. "Why??" He asked her sadly. " Im sorry I don't know " she lied "So she left again without saying goodbye?" "I'm sorry Luke but don't be mad at her, I just think it was hard for her here.." "well it was hard for me to , I actually came over here to see if there was something still there between us but obviously that was a mistake. "Lucas" " No mom it was all a mistake she doesn't love me anymore and she proved that by just leaving again." "Sorry I woke you mom I gotta go get some sleep I'm getting married tomorrow." He got up to leave and walk out the door." Lucas wait" Karen called out as she reached down to pick up the envelope off the floor and ran after him. "you forgot this." " What's this ?" he asked I don't know it was on the floor in the room I assumed it was yours. It looks like a letter." She said . "Well I'll read it later as he threw the envelope on the passenger seat and drove off..
