Hey, Thanks as always for the great reviews, I'm sorry for any confusion at the end, I hope I'm able to clear it up a little for you.
Haley and Brooke watched Lucas closely, as he closed his eyes in smiled. Both were confused by the smile.
Brooke's mind was flying, as she watched Lucas, She bit her bottom lip as she waited on his answer. Praying it was the answer she wanted to hear. Her eyes widen when she heard his voice.
" She loves me, she still loves me" Lucas whisper, in a low hollow voice. He opened his eyes, smiling big at his two friends.
"What" both girls said, with panic in there voices. Their eyes locked on the blond boy, who was still smiling, like a kid on Christmas morning.
"She still loves me, " he says again, this time in a serious tone. with a daze look on his face. That either girl has never seen before.
" Yeah, we heard you the first damn time" Haley replied coldly, " but the question was, do you still love her?" she said as she pointed to Brooke, narrowing her cold confusion eyes on her best friend. Lucas was so losted in his dazes, that he didn't notice were Haley was pointing.
" yeah, I love her more, than anything in this world," He smiling at his best friend. The smile was soon eased off his glowing face as Haley's hand collied with his right cheek. " I can't believe you Lucas," Haley's voice was full of angry, her eyes full of hurt, sadness, and concern.
Lucas step back holding his cheek, eyes narrowing Haley's, " what the hell was that for, Haley, you knew I was in love with her, you always knew" Lucas responded with confusion and sadness in his voice, hurt in his eyes.
Brooke was standing there beside him speechless, Her hand cover her mouth as Haley slap his face, "this was not how my plan was suppose to work, he can't be in love with me" she though to herself, She looked over towards the court her eyes widen with shock, horror, sadness. As she watched her best friend run off into the darkness.
" OH, NO," Brooke heard Haley say as both girls starred in the direction that the broken blond run off in. Lucas arched his eye brow at both girls. wondering what he missed,
Peyton and Skillz walked to Nathan and Haley's house. Peyton knocked lightly on the door, trying not to wake Jamie up,
Nathan open the door, " Peyton, you didn't have to knock, you are staying here," he said, as he moved to the side to let them in. Peyton hesitant a moment. Nathan sighed to himself " Peyton, get in here Haley's not here," she nods then steps in.
" I just needed to grab my bag" Peyton said, as she starts to walk near the steps, " I'm going to stay with Skillz tonight" she finished, noticing the look from Nathan.
" Sawyer, you are welcome here, it's my house to, " Nathan said, pulling her towards him, She smiled at him
" I know, nath thanks, but Haley is probably really upset with me right now, I don't want to deal with her tonight, I'm really just to tried, plus Brooke is staying here," she said with sadness in her voice and eyes, " I don't want to leave skillz alone" she joked trying to ease her emotions.
Nathan and Skillz smiled at her, both knowing she was just trying to avoid more drama, " Okay, I get it, but please don't leave town without saying goodbye to me, " Nathan pleaded
" I promise," she whisper, as she pulled away in headed upstairs, She walked back in to Living room. Smiling as Skillz and Nathan as they talked about Nathans last game.
" Is Basketball all you guys ever talk about?" She said, as she walked towards them, with her bag on her shoulder.
" Yeah, that in girls" Skillz said, with a wink, Nathan laughed as Peyton rolled her eyes. " I guess you are ready" skillz asked, as he took the bag from her.
" Yeah, let get going, I'm pretty tried," she admitted " Night Nathan," she said, as she gave him a hug, " Please talk to him, Peyton he's really hurting" he whisper in her ear. Peyton nodded, then locked eyes with him before she whisper " me too"
Nathan walked them outside, " oh damn, I forgot my ball at the river court" Skillz said, in a panic tone.
" get it tomorrow man" Nathan said, shaking his head, at Skillz raising eye brow
" Hell no! Nath man someone might steal it" Skillz said in a serious tone.
" Skillz, it's just a basketball, you always buy a new one" Peyton said, laughing at the expression on his face.
" No, I don't want another ball" Skillz whinnied. Making Peyton and Nathan laugh harder.
" Okay......honey.........we. can..go get you ball" Peyton said, in between laughing, She could believe how he was acting like a five year old.
" good, let's go" Skillz said, He started walking down the driveway, Peyton frozen for a moment, as reality hit hurt, "I can't go back to the river court, damn, Lucas is probably there" she thought to herself. She felt a hand on her shoulder, She looked up to see Nathan smiling at her. " I'm okay," she said, before he could speak.
" Peyt, you are far from okay," Nathan said, in a concern voice " listen he's probably not even there, Haley probably took him home all ready, Brooke is with Rachael, it will be okay" He promised her
" yeah, Brooke is probably laying in his bed, right now" Peyton said bitterly, she closed her eyes, a flash of Lucas and Brooke kissing back in high school flash though her mind, She quickly open her eyes, that image cut like a knife, tears burn her eyes. Nathan pulled her to him, " no, he loves you Peyton, weather you want to believe it all not, Brooke and Lucas aren't meant be
" Peyton and Lucas are meant to be" Skillz said as he walked back up the driveway, " listen, baby girl we don't have to go to the river court, I can buy another ball," he said, as he stroke her hair. Peyton shaked her head.
" no, we have to past it on the way to your house, anyways I need to be able to face him with Brooke, or without Brooke, whatever,: she sighed " sense there's a chance I might be moving back home" she smiled at Skillz who kissed her forehead. Nathan looked at the two confusion
" your moving back to tree hill," when? how? " Nathan questioned,
" well I 'm not happy in LA, Nath, Tree Hill has everything I want, everything I missed," she sighed loudly, " even if I can't have what I want, and what I truly miss, " she paused " I do have you, Skillz, Haley, and Jamie here. which is still a hell alot more than I had in LA"
" good, Jamie needs hid aunt here, " Nathan said, as he gave her another hug, " it would be good to have my friend back to" he whisper. Peyton and skillz finally said there goodbyes, As they started to walk to the river court. Skillz was telling her jokes, keeping her sprites up. He was just happy that she was smiling and the tears that were in her eyes disappear for the time begin. As they make it to the river court, Peyton smile faded as she saw Lucas, Brooke and Haley involved in a very serious conversation, She turn to walk away but frozen when she heard, Haley say " but do you love her" Peyton turn around, watched as Haley point to Brooke, Skillz wrap his around around her, Peyton's heart literally broke when she heard his responses. She push Skillz away than run off the court,
"Peyton, Skillz yelled, " Peyton, baby stop" he yelled as he chased after her.
Lucas turn his head with he heard Skillz yell, his girls name, he watch as his friend ran after the girl who has his heart, " What the hell, just happen?" he questioned, to himself. Forgetting that Broke and Haley was standing behind him.
" history repeating itself" Haley said bitterly, she walked over to the middle of the court, she was about to leave, but stop in turn back to Lucas, " I have been on team Peyton, from the beginning,Lucas, always wanted you with her, Cause I believe that you two were an epic love story, Peyton has been in love with you sense junior year, I was the only one that knew that, she told me up on the roof one night when you were in the hospital after the crash, she was going to tell you after you woke up, but then you broke up with Brooke, Peyton felt so bad, so she changed her mind, I believe Peyton turn to Jake to hide what she was feeling for you, I believe you did the same thing with Brooke," Haley paused, as she looked over at Brooke, " I didn't support your relationship with Lucas in the beginning, The only reason I did the second time was because Peyton was so in love with Jake, and Lucas told me you were his soul;mate, I just wanted my friend to be happy, So I kept my mouth shut life moved on, than the school shooting happen, and to be honest, please Lucas don't take this the wrong way. But I'm kinda an around about way glad that
" Haley, I don,,,,,,,,,,,,
" Lucas let me talk" she stop, to take a breath. " As I was saying I'm glad that it happen, not that we loss Kieth, because I loved Keith you know that, In not that Jimmy took his life, but that Peyton was shot, because I believe that's the day Peyton open her eyes, realizing that she still loved you, but you were to blind by Brooke to notice. So Peyton bury it again, went to see Jake, someone that she loved, who loved her back, She was so afraid of you rejected her, and for hurting Brooke again, She was so lonely, and scared for what she was feeling, so she asked Jake to marry her, I don't really know what happen after she asked him, All I know is she come home broken, then she was honest with her best friends about her feeling, then her best friend cut her out of her life for been honest. Breaking her worst then she already was, But Peyton hide it she kept moving, she never broke down, Life kept throws shit out her, and she kept swing, she refuse to break, Then like a rainbow, busting though her darkness, She finally caught her dream. I was probably more happy than the both of you when you finally got together. Than you come back from LA so broken , I wanted to hate her, but then I found out she said someday, she asked you to wait a year. you couldn't even give her that. You left her in a hotel room, You put a dart though her heart and her dreams, she lost everything when she lossed you, But stay strong well till today. She broke down in my kitchen. It broke my heart to witness that, I know you heard some of the things she said to us , you had me believing you were really ready to fight for her, But that was a joke, I came down here tonight, because I didn't want you to get hurt, Brooke said she had a great plan, so I went along with because I believed she wanted you guys back together to,
" Hal........
" shut up, Lucas, I love you, I love Brooke, I love Peyton, " she paused, as she wipe a couple of tears away, " I know what she said to you hurt, I was so pissed off at first, Now I totally understand why she run, why she said what she said, Because when it comes back to the three of you the so called triangle, Peyton always loses, I kept my mouth shut both times you picked Brooke, But this time I'm done, I wash my hands of the both of you, Are friendships are done. Now if you'll excuse be I have to get home to my family, and a friend I need to cheek on," Haley finished, she walked away.
Brooke stood there crying, Lucas was more confusions then ever, He looked over at Brooke, " what plan Brooke, what did you say to Peyton?" He demanded
" I kinda of gave Peyton the impression, that I was still in love with you, " Brooke admitted, " I thought she was going to push you away tonight, so I kinda of came up with the idea, that if she thought I was in love with you, she would be forced to tell you how she really feels, " she pause " but the plan kind back fire . I didn't plan on her telling you that she didn't love you"
" Why, would you do that to your best friend, and she does love me, I can feel it" he paused " she just scared, I get her back, somehow"
" Lucas, you just told Haley, and Peyton, Skillz and me that you love me more than anything in the world, and now you want Peyton back, do you even know what you want" Brooke asked, crossing her arms over her chest. Lucas's eyes widen as Brooke finished
" what the hell are you talking about? I love Peyton, I'm in Love with Peyton, I don't love you, ...............................
