Chapter 21

Brooke and Lucas both were sitting in the living room trying to figure out how to tell Sarah about Lucas being her father.

"We could just tell her straight Luke she wouldn't care" said Brooke.

"No we will tell her properly…in the way where I don't come off as a bad guy" said Lucas. "Wait I shouldn't even come off as a bad guy coz I wasn't the one who hid my daughter's very existence"

"Are you still on that…you know now so be happy" said Brooke

"Yeah after I found out six years later!" snapped Lucas.

"What ever Luke…I say tell her straight and when Barney comes on you will be old news" said Brooke. "So if she does get angry she'll forget when she sees the big old fury dinosaur"

"No she wont be angry…she'll happy to have found her dad" said Lucas. "And I won't be old news; I'll be the best thing that ever happened to her"

"She is only 6 years old…clowns make her happy for Pete sake" exclaimed Brooke.

"Will you stop ruining this moment for me woman" snapped Lucas. Brooke rolls her eyes and grabs a magazine from the coffee table and began to flick through it. Lucas looks around and sees Sarah coming down the stairs with Maria and jenny, Lucas nudges Brooke on the side

"What?" she hissed, Lucas points at Sarah. "Oh okay…Sarah honey could you come in here…I need to talk to you" Sarah came running in.

"Yes mom" said Sarah.

"Sweetie there's something we need to tell you…go ahead Lucas" said Brooke.

"Oh okay err well Sarah you know when a man and woman-" Lucas

"What the hell Luke, where did a man and a woman come in to this" snapped Brooke

"I don't know how to start so I thought I'd start with this" defended Lucas.

"You know what we will be here forever if you carry on…Sarah Lucas is you dad" said Brooke. Sarah just stared at them to quietly.

"Okay" Sarah said.

"Okay…okay…is that all you can say" said Lucas. "Sarah is there anything you want to ask about this?"

"Luke why...why would you do it…if she is okay with it then why would you try to make this conversation more complicated" snapped Brooke.

"Hey it's not everyday you find out about your dad ya know" argued Lucas.

"I got a question" piped up Sarah

"Oh really…okay what is it" said Lucas.

"Why did you leave mommy" asked Sarah plainly

"Oh err…I err..." said Lucas who had no idea what to say.

"Well you see Hun daddy dearest here thought one day he didn't wont to slee-" began Brooke.

"Why don't we watch some barney" said Lucas quickly turning the TV on and throwing a glare at Brooke who returned a smile to him.

Jake was in his room grabbing a jacket, he felt like a walk and he wanted to get away for a while and visit Rachel's grave as well. He went and opened his door and saw Peyton standing out there with her hands balled up and looked like she was going to knock on the door.

"Oh hey" said Jake.

"Hey err you going some where"

"Yeah… for a walk to clear my head and all"

"Right…err I wanted to talk to you about something"

"Okay why don't come with me then"

"Sure" they both go down stairs and tell the rest they were going out for a while and would be back soon.

"So what do you wanna talk about" asked Jake as both of them walked down the street.

"Well I err…well you know me and Luke have broken up now" said Peyton.

"Yeah, I think we all know that"

"Well you know why we broke up too"

"Yeah…you decided to be friend's coz you guys didn't love each other any more"

"Well yeah that too but there was another reason which is-" but Peyton stopped when she found her self at the grave yard. "What are we doing here?"

"Oh sorry this where I come to think…you know coz Rachel is here" said Jake

"Oh"

"Common, it's a good place to talk…I know its creepy coz it's in the grave yard…but it feels right you know"

"Yeah…I usually go to the grave yard back home as well when ever I wanna get away from things"

"You see…common" said Jake taking hold of Peyton's hand and pulling her in after him. She tried to ignore the feeling that she felt when Jake held her hand. She knew she couldn't anything now coz it was obvious Jake still in love with Rachel.

"So what do you wanna talk about" asked Jake as he took a seat on the very bench he told Peyton about Rachel.

"Err nothing…no point now" said Peyton, she was about to tell him she loved him but now it didn't seem right anymore.

"Common Peyton you know you can tell me anything" said Jake.

"Can I ask you a question" asked Peyton

"Yeah sure, that's why we are here"

"Err do you…do you still love Rachel?" Jake looks up at her.

"Yeah always…I thought I could never love anyone after you but…then Rachel came and things were different…I can never forgot her"

"Oh"

"But why do I get the feeling that wasn't what you wanted hear"

"No it's not like that…its nothing"

"Common Peyton you know you can tell me anything"

"Yeah but…I can't tell you anything now"

"Common you're Peyton you can say anything you want"

"No…now you're confusing me with Brooke"

"Oh right yeah sorry…just tell me I won't mind"

"No there's no point"

"Peyt just tell me tell me tell me!!!"

"Jake"

"Peyton"

"Fine…I…I…-"

"Well I hope the end of this sentence is good" joked Jake, Peyton shoots him a glare. "Okay carry on"

"I think…I know…im…imstillinlovewithyou" rushed Peyton

"Excuse me what"

"Im still in love with you Jake" said Peyton; she just stared at Jake who stayed quiet. "I know I shouldn't be saying this coz you just said you loved rach-" but she was stooped when she felt a pair lips on hers. They both parted and Jake rested his head on Peyton's forehead.

"Im so glad you told me that" whispered Jake.

"But you just said you loved Rachel" said Peyton.

"Peyt I will always love her…but I get the feeling that Rachel is more happy then me" smiled Jake.
