The Saddest Song

Chapter 7 - Can I ask you a question

A/N - As I said, my vacation was fun and I've got a lot of stories I wanna write but I'm gonna stick to two at a time. I hope you're enjoying this and possibly this chapter we'll get to the real drama. The whole situation with the baby and all. Here it comes:

Lucas turned around to face Brooke. He gave a weak smile and she gave an evil look.

"Brooke," he said impatiently. The bell was about to ring.

"Lucas, Lucas, Lucas. How is the cheating bastard and skinny blonde bitch?" she asked snottily.

"Look, Brooke, I don't have time to put up with this...I gotta get to class," he replied.

"I don't really care what you do. I just don't want her missing cheerleading because of you," she told him emphasizing the word you.

"Ok, whatever."

"Just so you know, Lucas. As long as you continue going out with Peyton your lives will be a living hell from me," she hissed, and walked down the hallway.

'Great' he thought.


He met up with Peyton at her car after they finished practice. She looked a little tired, but her face lit up when she saw him. He liked that feeling.

"Hey gorgeous," he said picking her up and twirling her around.

She giggled in that girl in love way she could. He laughed and gave her a kiss, which she accepted. He liked the feeling of that too.

"Well hello to you too," she said near his ear. Her breath sent shivers down his back.

"Let's go back to your house," he said with a smirk on his face.

"And what did you do to earn that?" she asked teasingly.

"I am your boyfriend and you need me to fend off all the monsters," he said while puffing out his chest.

"What the boogie monster under my bed?" she asked laughing.

"Haha," he replied.


4 MONTHS LATER

Lucas and Peyton hadn't been paying much attention to Brooke's attempts at breaking them up. They were more in love than ever and still acted like a new couple. They still got giddy at the sight of each other and still passed notes in class. Her hands still got sweaty when he was near her and every kiss they shared was like the first time.

Brooke was disgusted by them. She never had been in love like that and had never seen anyone so in love. She cringed when she thought of them.

Nathan and Haley were doing better since their fight. They argued from time to time but it was never anything that split them up. Lucas and Nathan were doing their best to get along for Peyton and Haley. It was hard, but they were almost friends and it pleased the girls.


Prom was quickly approaching and tickets needed to be bought and arrangements needed to be made. Neither of the boys had formally asked the girls, but each had their own plans.

Lucas called Peyton on a Saturday afternoon. He wanted to go with her, she had his heart and he wanted to give her, his.

"Peyt?" he said into the phone.

"Hey Luke," she said happily.

"Got any plans for today?" he asked anxiously.

"Yea...with you!" she exclaimed and he let out a laugh.

"Ok good. I'm taking you to lunch," he informed her.

"Really?"

"Really."

He picked her up 45 minutes later and they were on their way to the café. Karen greeted them and gave them some burgers and fries.

"Your mom's a good cook," Peyton said inhaling her food.

"Are you even tasting any of that?" he asked, teasing her.

"Yes, mister smartass," she said throwing a french fry at his nose. He laughed and they left the café with Peyton carrying her soda and some fries to go.

"So where to?" she asked uncertainly.

"Well I was thinking we might be able to go swimming at my grandparents because they're down in Florida for a month and we're taking care of their house and their pool is heated since it's only March...that is if you don't mind."

"Not at all. As long as I get to spend the day with you," she told him wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him. He kissed her back and she pulled away with a smile on her face.


They were headed to his grandparents with bathing suits in hand. He hadn't really planned anything too romantic, but he just wanted a fun day and then he'd ask her at the right time.

They arrived and Peyton looked around the house before she went to get dressed in the bathroom. He got dressed too and they were ready to go in the pool.

"I haven't gone swimming in forever," Peyton said with a smile when they got outside.

"Well get ready to go now!" he shouted and grabbed her by the waist while jumping in.

"Lucas Scott!" she yelled as she came up from under the water.

"What?" he asked innocently.

She pushed his head back under the water and he swam to the bottom and just kept himself there. She began to panic and swam all the way down to the bottom to see him sitting at the bottom of the pool trying to hold his breath. She kissed him quickly and swam up for air.

"Are you trying to drown?" she asked him.

"No, just waiting for you to come get me," he said pulling her close to him in the shallow end.

"I'd always come get you, Scott," she said planting a kiss on his lips.

"Good to know," he said through kisses.

She got up and dove off the diving board, leaving him alone in the shallow end of the pool. He watched her do a cannon ball and swam over to see her.

"You do one too," she said.

"Ok."

He got up and stepped onto the diving board. He got ready to jump, but had an idea. He smiled at his own brilliance and looked at his girlfriend.

"I'm gonna do my own jump. I came up with this just for you," he said with a big smile.

He walked off the diving board and grabbed a few things from inside the house. He stood on the tip of the diving board and was nervous as ever. He started throwing rose petals out onto the pool and then chucked a bottle of sparkling apple cider out into the pool and then a few cups after it. She gasped at everything and he smiled even wider.

"I have a question to ask you." He jumped from the diving board and came up behind her. She was holding her drink and smiling at him when she turned around.

"Will you go to the prom with me?" he asked in a nervous voice, but tried to sound confident.

"N-n-yea," she said smiling and wrapping her arms around him again.

He let out a breath and gave into kissing her. He was enjoying every minute of time he was spending with her and he'd been with her for 4 months already.


Nathan and Haley were walking through the trail around the River Court. Nathan wanted to ask her the question, but his uneasiness was getting in the way.

They sat down in front of the river and Nathan was finally ready to ask her. He dipped his feet in the river and she did the same. They sat with their hands intertwined for a while.

"Um...Hales we've been together for a while now and I want you to know how much I love you," he said nervously.

"I love you too," she said strangely. She didn't know what was up with him.

"Well that's why I wanted to ask you something..." he said trailing off.

"Well ask away," she replied looking over at him.

"I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the prom with me?" he said with a smile on his face.

"Nah, I'm going with someone else," she said trying not to let the smile play on her lips.

"What?" Nathan asked not quite knowing if she was joking.

"I'm going with this guy who's about 6 foot. He's got dark hair and he's really handsome. We've been going out for a while now," she said finally letting her smile out.

He immediately leaned in and kissed her with all he had. She responded and smiled to herself. He smiled too.

"There's a condition though," she said as she pulled back.

"Mmmhmm?" he asked.

"Lucas and Peyton are sharing a limo with us..."
