The girls finished at the spa with beautiful nails, and fresh facials, they met up with the boys at a restaurant on the water for dinner. As they stepped into the restaurant the three boys stood for their women "hey babe" Lucas says as he places a kiss on Peyton's lips, "have a good day?" "Yeah nice and relaxing; you however got burnt" Peyton says with a knowing glance "yeah well my girl wasn't there to put sunscreen on me..." "Excuses, excuses Lucas Scott" Peyton says with a grin on her face, "will you rub aloe vera on me tonight?" Lucas asks with his puppy dog look "Maybe" Peyton replies with a smirk.

The six adults get through dinner, all surprised as how well they are all getting along seeing as they didn't know each other before yesterday. Brooke and Haley got along like a house on fire, and Haley loves Peyton, and is so glad Luke has her. Jake, Nathan, and Luke seem like there've known each other forever. Lucas and Peyton couldn't be happier about this because soon they would all be together in New York.

After a nice and relaxing dinner the group split up, and called it a night.

Lucas and Peyton made their way up to their room. As they walked through the door, Lucas asks "so have you decided if you will rub Aloe on my back?" Peyton walks out of the bathroom in her shorts and one of Luke's tees holding up the Aloe in one hand, "One step ahead of you babe."

"Now I will rub this on you on one condition, you need to tell me who broke your heart"

It was quiet for a little while, "what are you talking about Peyt"

"I know there's a reason as to why you don't want me to tell you how I feel about you until the last possible moment, and I need to know what that girl did to break your heart and to make you believe that if I tell you how I feel now that I might change my mind in a week when the final decision needs to be made." Peyton gives him a reassuring kiss on the forehead, motions for him to lie on his stomach so she can apply Aloe on his sun kissed skin.

Lucas was quiet for a while, trying to gather his thoughts 'how the hell am I supposed to explain to her what happened. "Ok Peyton, um it's a long story,"

"Hey, its ok Luke just take your time ok" Peyton say's as she places a gentle kiss on his shoulders, and a squeeze for support.

"I was 15, and she was this amazing girl that transferred to our school, I met her the summer before we went back to school, and I thought she was beautiful, I never knew how wrong I was until I met you" "Charmer" Peyton says as she kisses his neck.

"We got together about a week after we met, it wasn't a deep and meaningful relationship, and it was more of a sexual kind of thing. We spent our nights together, because I worked during the day. She would come and visit me for lunch every second day- she told me she loved me after two weeks, and I thought I was in love with her too, but I was wrong. At the end of the summer she started getting distant, I barely even saw her in the last month of summer."

Lucas is quiet for a while trying to figure out how to say the rest.

"She came up to me about a month after we went back to school, and told me she was pregnant, and it was my child... I didn't ask questions or anything, I believed her and my parents paid for her medical bills, and I was there for her through her entire pregnancy, even when there were rumours going around that she slept around over the summer, and when school started back up. I asked her about it and she denied it, she said that they are all just out to get her because she's a pregnant teenager, so I just dropped the subject.

It came to the day of her due date, she went into labour during my Basketball practice and, I dropped everything and left, I thought I was becoming a father... I met her at the hospital, she had the best OBGYN money could buy, I held her hand the entire time, and helped her through the breathing, then the doctor came in and it was time... She had a little girl, and she was beautiful, but she wasn't mine, her skin was way too dark to be mine, and her hair was way to black and curly to be mine and all she could say was sorry."

"Lucas" Peyton says and drops her head onto the back of his neck "I can't believe that happened to you and at 15... Lucas" Peyton says with disbelieve he turns over on his back and says, "it's ok Peyt, by the end of the nine months I could barely stand her, I only stayed around because I thought I was having a daughter, but I know this sounds really horrible, but I was relived, I was relieved that she wasn't mine. I always dreamed that I would have my children with the women I love" at this Lucas grabs her hand, "that is why I am so afraid" Lucas finishes. Peyton pulls him into an embrace and holds him in her arms as they both drift off to sleep.
