CH24:Peyton carefully unlocked her aunts door. As she entered, she heard her laughing. She walked over to her bedroom, to see what she was up to. She couldn't wait to tell her about her plan against Haley. As she entered further, she did not expect what was in before her eyes. All over the room, pictures of her dad, her, from years ago. And her aunt was wearing a curly blonde wig.
"Auntie" Peyton barely said. Alyssa spun around, smiling brightly at her.
"Peyton, my gorgeous daughter. Come to your mother" Alyssa said, expanding her arms. Peyton looked at her in horror.
"You're not my mom…What's going on?" Peyton asked morrified. Alyssa became infuriated.
"I am your mother! Don't you ever talk to me like that!" Alyssa yelled. Peyton began to step back carefully.
"You're crazy. You are not my mom. She's dead. A crazy driver killed her. You're my aunt, her sister... remember?" Peyton asked, trying to create sense to the fanatical women. Alyssa chuckled.
"Yeah, I wouldn't say crazy, more like preplanned. To bad the dumbass driver got caught" Alyssa said. Peyton became stun, no words could explain her discovery.
"My mom's death was not accidental?" she merely asked.
"Accidental, please. There was only room for one Ellie Sawyer, and the place corresponded to me and only me. Don't you see Peyton, if I couldn't have you or your father, neither could Ellie" Alyssa said. Tears began to fall from Peyton.
"How could you? She was your sister-
"A sister that didn't want me in her life. So I might had tried to steal you away once, but I'm a better mother than her. She always had bad ways on raising you. And apart of that, Matt belonged to me" Alyssa said, trying to hold Peyton. Peyton pushed her away.
"Everything makes sense now. The ambulance, they weren't one. They were a mental institution vehicle. My dad told me, but I didn't believe him. Oh my, why?" Peyton asked, leaning against the wall, fighting the urge to break down crying. Alyssa walked closer to Peyton. She leaned down, to face her.
"Peyton, you're my world. Now that I'm here, you, I and your father will become a happy family. One that was meant to be. Don't you get it Peyton? I am your mother. Ellie was just an intruder. She could never love like I could. And -
"You killed her! She was my real mother. You're the intruder! You took the one person that I loved! You manipulated me to think you cared about me… I trusted you…" Peyton sobbed. Alyssa grinned, taking a sip from her wine glass.
"I didn't manipulate you. You just gullibly believed me" Alyssa casually said. Peyton looked up at her.
"But I trusted you, I trusted you. I followed your advice, everything you told me-
"You gullibly believed. But that's good. Now that it's only me and you, lets get your father. Nothing in this world could tear us apart" Alyssa smiled. Peyton hugged her knees. She was in a nightmare, a nightmare she let happen.
"Peyton get up from the floor, you'll get your pants all ruined. Now get your mother some more bread" Alyssa said, playing with the curly strands of her wig. Peyton fumed with anger, stood up from the floor, looking once more at Alyssa.
"You will never be my mother!" she yelled, running away from the apartment. Alyssa grinned, sipping more wine.
"She'll be back" she said, looking at herself more in the mirror.
With Haley…
The morning after Haley woke up, watching Nathan sleep by her side. All of what happened yesterday, processed through her mind. She sighed, flipping to her side.
"Stop thinking about it" Nathan said, eyes closed. Haley stared at him confused.
"You need to stop talking in your sleep" Haley chuckled.
"Haley don't change the subject, stop thinking about her. You're better off without her" Nathan said. She smiled, sliding closer to him.
"What would I do without you?" Haley lightly laughed, running her hand through his built arm.
"God knows what" he teased. She punched him in his chest. He opened his eyes, watching her pretend to be furious. He hugged her tightly, kissing her forehead.
"I love you" he said. She looked up at his piercing blue eyes.
"Seriously?" she asked. He smiled, tugging a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Yeah" he answered. She smiled leaning up, kissing him softly.
"I love you too" she said, inches away from his face. He smiled, kissing her all over again.
With Peyton…
Peyton stormed into her house. She ran up to her room, slamming the door shut. Jumping to her bed, she hugged her pillow, bawling her eyes out. Everything her aunt said, was a manipulation. And she naively listened, like a stupid blind puppy. What hurt the most is that she trusted Alyssa. She was the closest thing to her mother. Her looks, music taste, and even the scent were similar to her mothers. She inhaled, wiping her eyes. She stood from her bed. She scanned her room.
Haley
What she had done to her. All the cruel things she had done to her, all because of listening to Alyssa. She had ruined the one thing close to trust and love; her friendship with Haley.
What have I done? I destroyed my friendship with Haley. After all I done, she probably hates me. And the thing with the pictures. I hope she didn't break up with Nathan. Oh god, what have I done? She thought, sobbing more on her pillow.
After a while of crying, Peyton slowly raised from her bed and walked to her closet. She pulled down the plastic box. She opened it reveling all the pictures, things and stuff Haley had once given her. Resisting the urge to cry again, she closed the box. Memories of Haley and her passed her mind. She gulped, opening the box again. She said she was going to do an album, so she was, even if Haley would throw it in the garbage.
Monday Morning…
Peyton walked to school, all grungy looking. She didn't sleep as well this past weekend. She passed through the sea of students, towards her locker. Grabbing her books, she looked to her left, from afar she saw Haley and Nathan kissing. She smiled that her plan didn't work. Along Haley's side was Brooke and Lucas, smiling at one another. She sighed, thinking that could have been her.
"Looks like your plan didn't work. What's the next one?" Bevin asked behind her, along with Clarissa. Closing her locker, Peyton looked at them. Were these the girls, she had replaced Haley with? The evil, dim-witted girls, that all they ever cared was about themselves? Yes, these were her so called friends. The biggest mistake she had ever made.
"There is no other plan" Peyton said.
"Oh come Peyton, Clarissa and I here thought of something and it goes-
"No, just drop it. I'm done missing with Haley. And if you do something to intervene with her or Nathan, watch out because I will kick your ass" Peyton threatened. Both girls laughed at her.
"Since when do you care about her?" Clarissa asked. Peyton glared at her.
"Doesn't matter. I'm just done" Peyton said walking away. Bevin raised an eyebrow.
"Looks like Peyton loosing her backbone" she said.
"Too bad, I really liked her" Clarissa said, as they walked to their class.
In Girls Locker room…
"Are you ok with seeing her?" Brooke asked, before they entered the girl locker room.
"Yes, beside I have to see her sooner or later" Haley said, as she entered. Brooke sighed, following her. As Haley walked to her locker, she spotted Peyton getting dressed, and she was by herself. Looking at her more, anger took over her.
"Sawyer!" Haley yelled. Peyton turned around, weakly smiling at her.
"Hi Hal- before she could finish of sentence, Haley bitch slapped her.
"How could you?" Haley bitterly asked. Peyton turned to her again.
"You have to let me explain-
"Explain!? Peyton, you tried to separate me and Nathan. You tried to steal him away form me! But no. Your pathetic plan didn't work. I hate you Peyton, and I really mean it. You're no longer my friend. And as long as we're still here in this damn school, I never want to talk to you ever again…I cant believe you were once my best friend. Fuck you Peyton. You are nothing but a pathetic, two- faced bitch" Haley said with venom, as she and Brooke walked over to the other side of the lockers.
Peyton remained there, numb. She deserved everything Haley had just told her. The only thing that sucked, is that she didn't know the pain would hurt intensely. Tears began to fall once more, but she exhaled, refusing to cry more. Finishing dressing herself, she walked out of the girls locker room, completely alone.
After gym, was lunch. Haley and Brooke walked outside to meet Nathan and Lucas.
"Hey guys" Brooke said, as Haley and Nathan quickly kissed one another.
"How was your encounter with Peyton?" Lucas asked.
"Great, I totally slapped her and set her in her place" Haley smiled.
"Wow, I'm proud" Nathan said.
"But that bitch deserves more than that. I say you kick the shit out of her" Brooke said. Haley chuckled.
"I think what I did was enough" she said, shortly feeling her phone vibrate. She took it out and it read Peyton:
Hey Hales, just wanted to say, your absolutely right. I am all you called me, and much more. I know I have no excuse for what I did, but even though you hate me, you're always going to be my best friend. I hope you have a good life, and you're so lucky to have someone like the Scotts, even Brooke by your side.
Bye Goldilocks
"Who send you the text?" Nathan asked. Haley looked at him.
"Jamie, about our homework" she lied. She exhaled, not knowing to believe or think it was another plan against her. Though shortly deleted the message, ignoring what she just read.
"Things we regret the most is how we treated others cruely when they were the best thing around" Peyton def. learned that. Tell me what you think!
