A/N: So what did you guys think of the season finale last night? I liked it, but I hated how it ended! I really want to know who he calls, but I think Peyton gets a call from her brother, but I'm not sure. Oh and I think only three or four more chapters left! Anyways on with the story…

I don't own anything

Peyton walked around the house unsure of what to think. Lucas said he hated her. He was wasted when he said it, but still! How could he? It wasn't entirely her fault for coming back. Lindsay didn't have to leave him just because she came back. That wasn't fair. Peyton didn't do anything but be supportive, well she did kiss him, but then he ignored her for a week!

Peyton grabbed her car keys and walked out of the house. She wasn't sure what she was going to say to Lindsay just yet, but she knew this had to be done.

"Lindsay?" she called popping her head into the door.

Lindsay looked up surprised to see Peyton standing in the doorway. She told Lucas she didn't want to get married awhile ago and pretty much no one from his crowd wanted anything to do with her. "Peyton, what are you doing here?"

Peyton walked in slowly and closed the door behind her. "I don't mean to interrupt you with anything, but I have to talk to you about Lucas." Lindsay sighed, but Peyton ignored it. "Look, I know me coming here wasn't the best thing for you two, but I had to come back. I had to see if anything was still there, but nothing it Lindsay! You have to believe me. Lucas loves you so much! I know he does, I just know he loves you more than anything in this world right now. He can't let go of you, Lindsay. I know he will fight for you, so you should go back to him. When you do I'll back off. I won't come near you two again. If I have to, I'll move. Just don't give up on him."

Lindsay looked over to the book behind her. It was his book, the one he wrote for the woman standing in front of her. For the woman who was pushing Lucas and her back together even though Lindsay knew that this kills her. "Peyton have you read Lucas's new book yet?"

She shook her head. "No, but I didn't think you could until it is an actual book."

Lindsay moved her chair a little bit and picked up the book. She handed it to Peyton and smiled at her. "Thank you for trying, but you shouldn't jump to conclusions until you read this book. Please read it, and if you feel like he still loves me, then come back and tell me that."

Peyton nodded and held the book close to her body while walking out the door. This is something she never thought would happen from going to go see Lindsay. Maybe Lindsay wasn't as much of a bitch as she thought she was.



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Peyton are you going to come out with me and Owen tonight?" Brooke asked peaking her head into Peyton's room.

Peyton quickly ripped the tears from her face and covered Lucas's book under her covers. "No, no you two go and have some fun. I'll be fine here."

Brooke walked in and sat on Peyton's bed next to her. "Are you sure you're okay? You look like a bus just hit you. What's a matter?"

"Nothing, don't worry about me. I just got a something in my eye."

"From sitting on your bed in your room?" Brooke asked not buying it.

Peyton nodded her head. "Yes I did. Now if you don't mind I have to go to the bathroom. Is Owen here yet?"

"Yeah he's in the living room."

"Okay good, you two should get going."

Brooke sighed and walked up to the curly blonde. "Okay I'll go, but if you get sad or need ice cream or something just call me. Owen will live if we don't do anything special tonight."

Peyton nodded and walked out of the room. When she heard the door close behind Brooke and Owen, Peyton got the book and walked over to the couch by the fireplace. She wanted to burn it, but she couldn't because this copy wasn't hers.

It was like he was trying to tell her something that she didn't even want to believe. She didn't want to think that he still loved her because he said he hated her. All she wanted to do was yell at him and call him names, but she couldn't because she still loved him. These words though were strange and unwelcomed by her. She didn't want to believe them, not after everything he said to her.

She could believe them no matter what everyone said to her about them. She wouldn't put herself through this again. She couldn't.

Lucas went around his house like he didn't even care about anything anymore. He lost one of his closest friends because he was wasted and he lost the 'love of his life'. He knew he didn't love Lindsay like he should have, but he didn't want to believe that he had been with someone when he could have been married to the actual love of his life by now if he just would have waited a year or two. He was crushed when she said no, but he thought it was over then when really it wasn't. Peyton and he would never be over. Brooke learned it the hard way and everyone watched. Peyton and he were destined to be together. For him, it was just hard to except right now because his head was everywhere.

He didn't want to just be like 'I love you Peyton Sawyer. Marry me!' when he just got dumped hard. But yet he did just want to do that. He couldn't though, it wasn't right. He needed to get out of here to think.

He walked to the Rivercourt like old times and looked at the court. There was a comet on it with the words he wrote. He looked at the name. Peyton. When did find all the time to do this? Didn't she just say she was so behind on her work that she couldn't even find the time to talk to him? Maybe she was just saying that. Well duh, after the way you treated her you didn't even want to see yourself in the mirror, he thought to himself. He couldn't believe what he said to her. He had to make this right. He just didn't know how yet.

"This is so Peyton," a voice said behind him.

"Hey Hales. What are you doing here?" Lucas asked sitting down in the middle of the court.

"Well I was looking for you and realized you would probably come over here to think about thing. I just didn't think I would find anything like this when I found you."

"Neither did I. It was here when I got here, and I didn't know what to think about it. It does have Peyton written all over it though."

"Tell me about it consider she signed her named down there," Haley said pointing to Peyton's name in the corner of the court.

Lucas rolled his eyes. "I know that she signed her name, but before I saw that I knew it was her. She has to be hurting or something."

"Well consider the boy she loves just said he hated her you can sort of see where she is coming from." Haley sat down beside him and sighed. "You know you broke her heart, Lucas. You really did."

"I did not break her hear Haley. She probably doesn't even care that I said that."

"Really? So is that why a ton of people are getting water balloons thrown on them? Because she doesn't even care?"

"Why are people getting water balloons thrown at them?"

"Because she is throwing them at people because she thought it would make her feel better. Lucas you really did hurt her. No matter what you may thing, you did hurt her."

"I know I did okay? I just don't know how to fix it yet!"

"I have an idea. Apologize!" Haley said hitting Lucas on the head.

"A lot easier said than done."

"No it's not watch. 'Peyton I'm sorry I told you I hated you. You know I didn't mean it because I'm still in love with you!' See not that hard at all."

Lucas sighed. "Haley I don't know if I love Peyton like I used to ok? She hurt me when she said no."

"I know that Lucas, but come on. You wrote two books about her! You have to still be in love with her, or you're just amazing at lying to yourself."

Lucas sighed getting up. "I have to go do something."

"Well it's about time," Haley said looking up at him.

A/N: Sorry it's such a short chapter, but I don't really have that much time right now, so I'm going to try and update this soon. Hopefully by the weekend, or beforehand. Reviews please!
