TRIC

"So is everything set up?" Peyton asked as she took a seat next to Lucas and Haley. They looked at eachother and then nodded. "Ok, so i'm opening Tric in..." She pauses as she looks at her watch, "Three minutes." She finished and took in a deep breath.

"Everythings gonna be fine Pey. It went amazing the last time." Haley said and Peyton nodded.

"Ya I mean, my mom would be proud." He said and he smiled sadly, thinking of his mom.

It hurt him more then words that she had never came down after hearing her son was in the hospital. Twice. She hadn't even called him and he guess that he kind of deserved it after what had happened between them before she left, but he had never thought that she would be that cold as to not come and visit him. He shook the thoughts out of his head as he felt a comfprting hand on his.

"She misses you. I know she does." Haley said soothingly and he nodded. He knew she did. But was it enough?

"Ya Luke. She doesn't care about what happened. She cares about you she just couldn't make the trip down here. She just...couldn't." Peyton said sadly and Lucas sighed. Peyton hated lying to Lucas but there was no other way to explain to him that his mother had changed. A lot. Karen had taken a turn for the worse and Peyton just didn't know if Lucas neeed to hear that right now.

"Whatever. She was probably just to busy to come see me, or her daugther." He said somewhat bitterly. He couldn't register how his mother could lie about him having a twin sister. It was just cruel. Lucas shook his head again and smiled. "It's all over and done with, so let's have some fun, shall we?" He said and held his arms out to the girls. They smiled at eachother and took his outstretched arms and went to open the doors.

"Hey man, share would ya?" A male voice asked as he walked up to the trio. They all laughed as Peyton walked up to him and kissed him.

"Sorry Jake, I didn't think you were here." Lucas said and Jake rolled his eyes and the two bumped fists. The four of them walked to the doors and opened them to reveal a full line up of people waiting to get in. They all smiled and watched as people started piling into the place. It was going to be a hell of a night.

ABOUT AN HOUR LATER

Nathan sighed as he took another drink of his lemonade. He had been enjoying the night so far but was starting to get bored. He watched as Haley hung out with Lucas, Peyton and Jake and he felt left out. He was hoping that Riley and Devon would come early because those were about the only two people that would talk to him. Sure, Peyton and Jake would hang out with him but not like before and he couldn't really blame them. He watched as everyone laughed at something that Lucas had said and he turned back around in his seat.

"Hey there." A voice said and Nathan instantly turned around, shock evident on his face.

"Hey." He said and stared at the person before him.

"Mind if I sit?" The person asked and Nathan shook his head, to shocked to speak.

"So, not that I mind Haley, but what do I owe this pleasure?"He asked and took another drink. She sighed and turned to him.

"I want us to be friends Nathan. I miss you. I know I was being a bitch but you can't really blame me. I was hurting." She said and Nathan sighed and nodded.

"I know Haley but you've got to understand that you weren't the only one hurting. I not only lost my wife, I lost my brother and my best friend." He said and Haley raised an eyebrow in confusion. He gave her a look and she quietly nodded.

"You didn't have to lose Brooke. I understand that you two are friends but seeing you two together is just never going to be the same for me...or Lucas for that matter." She said and Nathan looked away. He knew that Haley was right.

"So you really want to be friends?" He asked and she noddedwith a small smile. "Does this mean you forgive me then?" He asked hesitently and Haley thought for a moment.

"No." She said and he frowned. "But...i'm getting there." She finished and he smiled. She smiled back at him and stood up. "Come on, let's go." She said and drug him over to everyone else before he could protest.

Once they reached the table an instant glare was sent his way. Nathan sighed and sat down next to Peyton and Jake. He watched as Haley and Lucas stared at eachother. He hadn't noticed before how close of a bond they really had. He knew that they were close but he hadn't known just how close. He could see that Lucas was angry and he knew that he would be but as he watched Haley's face soften, he could see Lucas' soften as well.

"Please." Haley said quietly. Lucas sighed and shrugged.

"Whatever. I don't care." He said angrily. Haley sat down by Lucas and smiled softly at Nathan. He smiled back and that's when the doors flew open to reveal the one person Lucas had been waiting for. His eyes looked over her and he couldn't help but smile at how gorgeous she looked. But just as his smile appeared it faded as he saw who came in after her. "What the-?"

"Hell?" Everyone said at the same time as Brooke and Felix headed over to the gang. As she walked up she could feel the questioning glances thrown at her by her friends but ignored them.

"Hey guys." She said, not even looking at Lucas. Afraid of what she would see. Felix smirked at everyone.

"Hey girls. Guys." He said in his usualy cocky voice. Haley and Peyton rolled their eyes in annoyance and glared at Brooke. Lucas felt his blood boil as Felix smirked in his direction. Haley glared at Brooke who turned away.

"So, I didn't know they let scum in here." Nathan said, knowing that this was the guy that had screwed up Lucas' chance with Brooke the last time.

"Well they let you and Lucas in here so I assumed it was alright." He said and smirked as Nathan scoffed. Lucas clenched his fists in anger but held his tongue. He felt a hand on his and he looked up to see Haley giving him a reassuring look. He breathed deeply.

"Well, unfortunatly i'm gonna have to ask you to leave because i'm in charge and this club is only for dykes. Sorry." Peyton said sarcastically as she glared at him. Brooke was about to protest but Felix interupted her.

"Look Peyton, i'm sorry okay? I was in a bad place back then but ever since they threw me in boot camp i've changed." He sais and as most scoffed he added, "a bit." Peyton looked at him and he seemed to be sincere about it but she knew better then to believe someone like him. She looked at Brooke who had pleading eyes and she sighed.

"Whatever, just don't get in anyone's way, got it?" She said and he nodded and smiled. Everyone else looked at her like she had two heads. Just as Haley began to speak the doors flew open and in walked someone they all knew very well.

Lucas couldn't believe his eyes. Was this the same person he had become fast friends with? He smiled at the sight of the person he thought he had known so well. He looked over and could see that everyone else was just as shocked as he was. He could see that they were all mesmorized by the beauty. She walked over to the group, Devon trailing close behind and smiled at them.

"Geeeez, it's like you never seen me in a dress before." She laughed and Lucas smiled.

"We haven't ever seen you in a dress before." He finished and she shrugged. "But isn't that dress a little to...umm short? I mean..." He started and Riley laughed and rolled her eyes.

"So it starts." She said and looked over at Nathan who smiled at her and got up to hug her.

"You look great." He whispered and she smiled. "But it is a little to short." He finished and Riley chuckled.

"Brothers." She said and rolled her eyes again. She pulled away and looked at the table for a moment and raised her eyebrow. "Everyone is here...together." She said and smirked. "Hmmmm, never thought I would see the day." She finished and looked over at the new guy at the table.

"Hey there." He said, eyeing her up and down. She cringed.

"Hi. Ummm...who the hell are you?" Riley asked and Felix smiled cockily at her.

"Felix, I used to date Brooke, and you are?" He asked and Riley turned to Lucas for confirmation. He nodded but she knew that he didn't like this guy one bit.

"Riley. Riley Scott." She said and Felix's eyebrows raised in curiosity. "I'm Lucas and Nathan's sister." She finished and Felix nodded and glanced at Lucas who was about to punch him out. He glanced over at the boy who was standing next to Riley.

"Who's he?" He asked and before Riley could answer Devon stepped beside her with an angry glare.

"I'm her boyfriend." He stated and Felix put his hands up in defense.

"No need to get testy, besides i'm here with Brooke and only Brooke." He said and turned to wink at her. She smiled weakly. Brooke glanced at Lucas who looked like he was about to rip Felix apart. Riley noticed the tension all around the table and decided it was best to end it.

"Well, now that everyone knows everyone, i'm going to go dance and the first dance of the night is going to one of my very talented brothers." She said and grabbed Lucas' hand and pulled him up. He looked at her and smiled slightly. Riley began to drag him out onto the dancefloor but he stopped right before Felix and glared at him before following her.

Devon sighed and sat down at the table. Riley was mad at him and he guessed that he kind of deserved it but still, he didnt want her to be like this all night.

"Hey what's wrong man?" Nathan asked, seeing Devon's crestfallen look. He sighed again and ran a hand through his hair.

"Riley and I had a fight." He said and Nathan nodded and was about to ask what is was about but he decided against it. "A stupid fight." He said and all the girls gave him a pat on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Ry loves ya. She'll forgive you in no time. You know the Scotts...they're about as stubborn as..." Brooke started to say but was interupted by Nathan.

"The Davis'?" Nathan offered and Brooke shot him a dirty glare but everyone at the table laughed. Brooke rolled her eyes and smiled. Devon nodded.

"I hope so." He said and all eyes went to the pair on the dance floor.

"So, what's the deal with this guy?" Riley asked and Lucas sighed and shook his head slightly.

"He dated Brooke last year and him and I had always hated eachother. He mostly hated me because I went out with his sister. He was always a jackass and he never treated Brooke the way she shuld have been treated." He said and Riley nodded and thought for a moment.

"Sounds like a keeper." She said sarcastically and Lucas smiled a bit. "You don't think that he would try anything on me, do you? " She asked and continued, "I mean you did go out with his sister..." She said and Lucas thought for a moment and smirked.

"Hell no. I mean, you've got me and Nathan for brothers, he'd be lucky to get ten feet near you." He said and laughed, "Plus, you've got Devon and i'm pretty sure Devon would kill him if he ever touched you." He finished and upon seeing Riley's sad smile, his faltered. "What's wrong?" Riley sighed.

"Devon and I got into a stupid fight and we're not talking." She said and Lucas kinked an eyebrow. "Okay, so i'm not talking to him, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt me too." She said and he nodded. He opened his mouth to say something when Riley interupted. "You don't want to know what it was about."

"Ok, ew." He said and Riley laughed. They both swayed to the music and as a new song came on Lucas looked at her again. "Maybe you guys should talk it out. I mean, you guys are perfect for eachother. You match. You're soulmates." He finished and Riley smiled sadly.

"Just like you and Brooke." She said and he sighed and nodded.

"Just like me and Brooke." He repeated and glanced over at the group which seemed to be having a good time. "I say we go to the new club, Serenity, after here. What do ya say?" He asked and Riley thought about it and smiled.

"Ya, I like the sound of that, Lucas Eugene Scott." She said and smirked. Lucas mirrored her smirk.

"Good Riley Desiree Scott." He said and Riley's eyes went wide with shock.

"How did you-?" She began but Lucas just laughed.

"Let's just say that I know a lot more about you then you think." He said and smiled as the continued to sway. Riley chuckled.

"Should I be scared?" She asked and laughed as Lucas stuck his teeth out, trying to look like a vampire.

"Only at night." He said and pretended to bite her neck which only caused her to laugher harder. Lucas soon started to laugh as well.

EVERYONE

Everyone looked over at Lucas and Riley as laughter filled the air. All watched as the two Scotts laughed and joked around with eachother.

"They're so good together." Haley said and smiled at her brother and sister in-law. They looked so happy in that moment that Haley didn't want to forget it.

"Ya, they look so happy." Peyton said and leaned on Jake and continued to watch the two. Felix snorted.

"They look like any other brother and sister, to me." He said and everyone turned to look at him.

"Felix, they just found out about the other and they're already close. It's sweet." Brooke said and gave him a small glare and turning back to the two who were now making their way over to the group. They were both smiling and laughing. Riley walked up and held her hand out.

"You're next baby brother." She said and winked. Nathan rolled his eyes and smiled as he got up with his sister. Lucas laughed and held his hand out to Haley.

"How about my second favorite girl?" He said and she laughed and grabbed his hand. She scoffed as he pulled her up.

"Second? I don't think so, i'm nobody's second." She said and they both laughed and walked off to the dancefloor.

Peyton turned to Jake and gave him puppy dog eyes and he rolled his eyes and held his hand out to her. She smiled brightly and they jumped out of their seats and went over to the dancefloor. Brooke sighed and felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and could see Felix's hand reached out to her.

"Want to dance?" He asked and Brooke hesitated and then smiled and nodded. She turned to Devon.

"Are you gonna be alright?" She asked. Devon sighed and nodded.

"Ya, i'll be fine. Could you do me a favor though?" He asked and she nodded. "Tell her..." He started but Brooke nodded.

"You got it, buddy." She said and gave him a wink. He smiled slightly as she walked off. He sighed again and watched as his girlfriend smiled and danced with her other brother.

"You know he's sorry, right?" He said and before she could say anything, he continued. "I don't know what he did but he's sorry for it. You should give him a chance to explain, Ry." Nathan said and Riley sighed.

"I know. I'm just..." She started but couldn't find the words.

"Being a Scott." He finished and she smiled and nodded.

"God, I love him so much, Nathan. I just...I can't help but feel hurt...I don't know...I guess it kind of brings back bad memories." She said and Nathan nodded, understandingly. "But anyways, what's with you and Hales, being all friendly around eachother?" She said and nudged him slighty, causing him to smile.

"Nothing is going on. We're gonna be friends." He said and Riley smiled genuinly.

"That's great Nathan. I'm so happy both of you decided to pull your heads out of your asses long enough to get past this." She said in the most sweetest voice she could muster without laughing. Nathan scoffed.

"That was the best sweetest fake voice I ever heard, where did you learn that from? The insane asylum?" He asked and laughed as Riley hit him on the arm playfully. "Hey, I was just wondering how you fended off all of those crazy people. Now I know. You sounded nice to them" He said and laughed as she hit him again.

"Funny, I was wondering the same thing about you. Hmmm I guess I was right. It is your sense of humor." She said and pretended to think. "Oh no wait, you don't have one." She said and smiled fakely at him. He chuckled, which caused her to as well. "And don't joke about stuff like that. It's not nice." She added.

"Sorry but you are kinda crazy sis." He said and laughed at seeing her expression, she then merely shrugged causing him to laugh again.

"What the hell is he doing here, Hales?" Lucas growled as he glared at Felix who was dancing with Brooke. "And why the hell would she bring him here?" He asked and Haley chuckled.

"She brought him here to make you jealous. You know that, right?" She said and Lucas looked at her like she had two heads. "She wants to make you jealous, to see if you still care."

"Of course I care, i've only been trying to get her to talk to me for weeks now." He said somewhat angry and Haley gave him a look. "Sorry. I just...I don't like him."He finished and sighed.

"I know, none of us do. We all think he's an ass." She said and he nodded and he sighed again as he saw Brooke laugh at something that Felix had said. He shook his head. "It'll be ok."

"I hope so, Hales. I hope so." He said and he smiled at her. She smiled back and they continued to sway to the music.

Devin sat there drinking, drink after drink. He wasn't usually a drinker but tonight was an exception. His heart hurt because he may have ruined the one good thing that happened to him. He took another shot of whatever it was he was drinking and let the cool liquid go down his throat. Just then he felt an arm on his shoulder.

"Hey there gorgeous, what's wrong?" A pretty brunette girl said and sat down beside him. Even in his drunken state Devon knew the voice off by heart. He turned to her and glared.

"What are you doing here, Vicky?" Devon asked with some disgust. Vicky looked taken aback by his tone but smirked none the less.

"What, aren't you happy to see me?" She asked with an innocent tone and Devon rolled his eyes. "I mean, you did dump me and leave me without so much as a goodbye." She said with some bitterness.

"Well I guess sleeping with your teacher really made me angry then, didn't it?" He said and smirked. She scoffed. She sighed and rested a hand on his arm.

"Look Dev, i'm really sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I'm serious." She said and as he looked at her, he could tell that she was sincere. He sighed.

"It doesn't matter anymore Vicky, what's done is done and you can't change it." He said and took another drink. She scoffed.

"So what, is there someone else?" She asked and Devon nodded, causing her smile to falter.

"Ya, there is, and I love her." He said and smiled. Vicky rolled her eyes and smirked.

"So then why are you drinking? You're not really that much of a drinker." She said and smirked even more as he sighed.

FLASHBACK

Riley and Devon had driven in total silence, both afraid of what to say to the other. Devon finally decided that he couldn't take the silence anymore and he didn't want Riley mad at him.

"Are you ever going to talk to me?" He asked quietly and Riley rolled her eyes and turned to look at him.

"Are you gonna sleep with me?" She asked and when he didn't answer she nodded. "Well then not for a while." She said and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Riley, please. I just want it to be special for you. For us. Please don't be mad at that." He said and she scoffed.

"That was a special moment, Devon and I was ready. I wanted you and I was hoping you wanted me too, but I guess not." She said mumbling the last part. Devon sighed and parked the car to the side of the road. Riley noticed that they were stopping and went to say something but was cut off by Devon.

"Why would you ever think that I didn't want you, Ry? I love you. I just...I want it to be special. Is that so wrong?"He asked and grabbed her hand. She let him hold it and then snatched it away.

"I've heard that crap before from other guys, Devon, the whole oh I wanna wait for the right moment crap." She said mocking a guy, "I' ve heard it and i've gotten hurt by it. I don't like it and I never will. When will the time be right Devon? Huh? Next week? Next month? I don't have that long. You're probably going to find someone better then me and then leave me like all of the rest of them." She said holding back tears. She hated that she thought like this but she couldn't help it.

"Riley, I would never leave you. I love you and trust me when I say, there is no one else. I promise." He said to her and she softened for a moment but then her face hardened again. "Please just trust me." He pleaded with her. She sighed.

"I can't." She whispered and closed her eyes. Devon groaned in frustration.

"Why?! Why can't you trust me?" He asked, slightly yelling at her. She let a couple of tears fall and Devon's heart broke. He pulled her to him and hugged her, eventhough she tried to fight him off. She ended up sobbing into his chest. "I'm sorry baby, i'm sorry." He whispered and she pulled away and rubbed at her eyes furiously.

"That's why. Sorry is not the word you say to a woman to make her forgive you. It's just a useless word that gets used so much that it's meaning is gone." She said and sat back in her seat. "Take me to the party." She said and stared right ahead. Devon groaned in frustration and turned the car on and they drove off to the party.

END OF FLASHBACK

"My girlfriend and I had a fight." He said and layed back in his chair. "Nothing serious." He said and glanced at her, giving her a warning look. "Vicky, go home. You're just going to cause trouble." He said and shook his head. Vicky stood up and patted him on the chest.

"Well, when you dump her...come find me handsome." She said and was about to leave but stopped and pulled out something from her shirt. She set it in front of him. "In case you run out of booze." She said and left. Devon stared at it and debated on whether or not to drink it. He decided to wait.

After the song ended Lucas glanced over at Riley who nodded towards the stage. Lucas sighed and nodded. Haley gave him a confused look but he just smirked.

"You'll see." He said and walked off in the direction of the stage. Haley walked over to the table which now held Nathan, Brooke,.Felix, Peyton, Jake, and Devon. She sat down and looked up as the stage lit up. Peyton looked over at Haley, confusion etched across her face.

"Is there something I don't know about goin on?" She asked and Haley shook her head and shrugged.

All eyes landed back on the stage as Riley walked out and smiled at all the applause that was heard. She let a small laugh out and put the mic up to her mouth.

"Ok, so we've got a very special treat tonight and personally I think you'll all like it. Some more then others." She said looking at Brooke and winking. Brooke kinked an eyebrow as Riley turned back to the audience. "Now, without further adeu, Lucas Scott!" She shouted and clapped. Everyone in the audience clapped with excitment upon seeing Lucas up on stage again. Lucas smiled at Riley who said something to him and handed him the mic.

"Ok, so i'm not to good with the whole being on stage thing but I felt that it was needed. You see, there's this girl, and I know that i've hurt her and I tried so hard to find a way to tell her how I feel and I just couldn't think of any." He said and sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Until a certain friend," He said and smiled at Riley who was at the side of the stage, "told me that the best way to express your feelings is through a song. So, since i'm not the best singer in the world, I asked for her help and I guess that this is gonna have to do. I just hope that this works." He finished and locked eyes with Brooke who looked up at him softly. Just then music started and Lucas began to sing.

Looking at your picture from when we first met
You gave me a smile that I could never forget
And nothing I could do could protect me from you that night

Everyone gasped slightly at the sound of the blond boys voice. It was more then good. Everyone at the table turned to Brooke who seemed to be entranced with Lucas. She listened to the words of the song and swear that tears would spring to her eyes.

Wrapped around your finger, always on my mind
The days would blend 'cause we stayed up all night
Yeah, you and I were everything, everything to me

Lucas looked at Brooke and smiled softly at her and turned his attention back to the audience. Inside he was smiling because he could see that he was making her break down her walls. He knew that this would be a good idea and he owed everything to Riley. Lucas closed his eyes and sang his heart out.

I just want you to know that I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe that there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know

All the doors are closing I'm tryin' to move ahead
And deep inside I wish it's me instead
My dreams are empty from the day, the day you slipped away

Everyone was almost silent as Lucas wooed the crowd over. He was sure that every girl in the audience was like in love with him but he guessed he was being a little bit full of himself. He looked at Brooke and could see that she looked like she was going to cry and he hated that. He hated seeing her cry. He was only hoping that it was happy tears.

That since I lost you, I lost myself
No I can't fake it, there's no one else

I just want you to know
That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe that there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know

That I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never end
I wish that I could believe that there's a day you'll come back to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know

Lucas finished and the crowd roared with applause and Lucas smiled to himself and glanced at the side of the stage and saw his sister clapping proudly. He smiled and he then decided that he wasn't the only one who was going to do damage control tonight. Lucas walked over to the band that was playing ans mumbled a few things and then turned back to the crowd and smirked. He lifted the mic back to his mouth.

"Thank you. We also have another little treat for you, tonight. " Lucass said and turned his head to the side of the stage where his sister was standing and smiling. Her smiled faded as his smirk grew. He turned back to the audience. "I'm not the only one who has a song for you all. Now, let me introduce you to, Riley Scott!" He yelled and clapped as he looked at Riley who shook her head, refusing to come on stage.

Lucas walked over to her and grabbed her and pushed over to where the mic was. She smiled slightly and turned and glared to Lucas. The music started playing and almost instantly Riley knew the song and she closed her eyes. If she had to do this, she had to do this right. The crowd went silent as her soft voice was heard.

Never been in love
Cause a girl like me
Never had someone to care for
Never thought there could be
Someone special for me
And now I'm all in love
Cause a girl like me
Waited patiently for someone
Someone to care for me
And there will never be

Riley opened her eyes and looked at Devon who had looked up at the mere sound of her voice. He looked up at her and couldn't help but think how beautiful she looked up there. He smiled at her and she gave a soft smile. She continued to sing as her brother watched from the side of the stage.

No more lonely, no more just me
I've been there before
Ain't goin no more
And now that you're here I
Never wanna say goodbye love
Never wanna be without you
No more cryin, no denyin'
I'm in love with you
And now that you're here I
I never wanna say goodbye love

Devon wanted to go up and hold her forever and tell her he loved her and that he wanted her so much it hurt. He wanted everything to be okay with them. In their relationship they had never really fought. They were more of the peacekeepers then anything and it was weird for them to be fighting.

Now it's time for me
To find out what the first time love could mean
Little scared but its cool
Cause it's worth it
Now I finally fell in love
And I know that it
Gots to be for real (So real)
It's the way that I feel
So come share my world with me
So there will never be

Riley looked at everyone but couldn't manage to keep it there as her eyes locked with Devon's. It was so hard to be mad at him. She loved him and it wasn't really that he didn't sleep with her that had gotten her mad. It was bad memories that came rushing back to her. She hated the feeling when she wasn't wanted. She had felt it so many times with Casey and she never wanted to feel it again.

So I'm standin here
Arms open wide
Ready to give my heart
I'm sure this time
Love's gonna last for life
Baby I know things change
And there might be some rain
But the clouds are gonna clear
And the sun is gonna shine again
Shine light on our love baby
So let's make it last forever

Da da da da da
Oh

Riley finished and smiled as the crowd erupted into applause and she shrugged. She looked over as Lucas came out on the stage and they both did a weird bow thing and Riley laughed.

"Enjoy your evening guys!" She shouted before running off the stage after Lucas. Haley shook her head and laughed at the two. They were certainly something. She looked over to see Brooke's reaction and her smile faltered as she saw that Brooke was no longer there. Neither was Felix. Haley sighed. Lucas would be heartbroken.

Riley and Lucas headed for the table and as soon as they were both in eyesight they looked for the eyes of their lovers. But to both's dismay, they weren't there. As they reached the table their questions were answered before they even left their mouths.

"Brooke asked Felix to take her home." Haley said and Lucas' face proved that he was in fact heartbroken. Riley wrapped an arm around her brother. "I'm not sure where Devon is. I think he went to Serenity. I'm not sure though." She said and Riley nodded. Riley turned to her brother and looked at him.

"You gonna be ok, while I go find my boytoy." She said and smiled slightly. Lucas sighed and nodded. She leaned in and hugged him. "Everything will be fine. I promise. Stick together forever." She said and smiled as the pulled away. He nodded.

"Stick together forever."He repeated. She gave him one last look and turned to Haley, and hugged her.

"Do you wanna take him home?" She whispered and Haley nodded. They pulled away and Riley smiled "I'll meet you at Serenity later?" She asked and Haley nodded once again. Riley waved goodbye to everyone else and gave Nathan a small hug. "STF, Nathan." She said and gave him a smile. He thought for a moment and smiled.

"STF, Ry." He said and she smiled and walked off. Haley walked up to Lucas and put an arm around his waist.

"Let's get you home buddy." She said and he nodded absentmindedly. She looked over at the other in a worried glance and they all looked at him. Haley and Lucas walked out of Tric and Nathan turned to Peyton and Jake.

"Do you wanna follow them?" He asked and they both nodded. They stood up but Peyton stopped.

"I can't. I've got to close up." She said and sighed. She really wanted to be there for her friend but she couldn't. Jake looked around and nodded towards one of the kids. Peyton looked over and smiled."Hey Mouth!" She shouted. He looked over and walked up to them.

"Ya, what's up?" He asked.

"Do you think you can close up, Lucas is in..." She started but he held up a hand, signaling that he had it. She smiled and gave him a hug before taking off with the others.

DEVON'S HOUSE

Riley sighed as she walked up the steps to his house. She wanted to make everything right between them. She loved him and she would wait forever if she had to. She smiled as she thought of him. He was so sweet and caring. He was different and she thanked god for that. She walked up to the door and noticed that it was open. She quirked an eyebrow and catiously walked in. She looked around.

"Devon?" She yelled but recieved no response so she decided to go upstairs. Maybe he was asleep? She walked up the stairs and could hear noises. She continued to walk to his room and she noticed that the door was slightly open but the light wasn't on. She pushed the door open and turned on the light and what she saw made her heart stop. She looked at the scene before her and it was as if she could feel her heart shatter. "Devon." She whispered causing the brunette boy to look at her.

"Riley?" He questioned while squinting to see if it was really her. He looked at how heartbroken she was and when he felt someone move beside him it was then that he realized what she had walked in on. He turned and looked at the familiar girl beside him and then turned back to Riley with a panicked face. "Riley, this isn't what it..." He started to say while trying to get up.

"I thought there was no one else?" She asked brokenly and turned as a tear fell down her face. She began to walk out of the room but stopped and turned to face Devon who was now, trying to get his pants on. "I loved you and I gave my heart to you. I just wanted you to do the same." She whispered and walked out of the room.

"Riley, wait!" He yelled and threw his shirt on. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Vicky smirking. "Stay the hell away from me and my girlfriend!" He yelled and started to run out of the room but not before hearing her say something.

"Ex girlfriend." She said and Devon ignored it and continued to run after Riley.

Riley's eyes burned with tears that just wouldn't stop. She couldn't believe that he had cheated on her. After all they went through he had done something he promised he wouldn't. She opened the door and ran out, oblivious to the pouring rain. She looked around for a moment and felt a hand on her shoulder. She ripped it away from him.

"Don't touch me!" She said harshly as she turned to glare at him. He looked hurt but she didn't care. He had broken her heart and for the first time that night Riley lashed out. She wouldn't let him know how much this affected her. " Don't you ever touch me!"

"Riley, please." He pleaded with her as she began to walk away again. He grabbed her arm and tried to get her to talk to him but she simply ripped her arm away and ignored him. "I'm sorry!" He yelled over the rain and caught up to her. "I didn't even realize what I was doing, I thought she was you!" He yelled and he knew once the words left his mouth that it was a mistake. She violently turned around to face him and pointed a finger at him.

"Don't you dare compare me to that stupid whore!" She yelled angrily and shook her head, "How could you!?" She asked and he wasn't sure if she was talking about comparing her to the other girl or about him sleeping with the other girl. He winced as the words circled in his mind. He couldn't beleive what he had done. He wasn't a cheater. He didn't want to be, but he was and he was disgusted with himself. Truth be told, he couldn't even remember how Vicky had gotten there. It was all so blurry to him.

"I didn't mean to! I don't even remember doing it!" He yelled and ran a hand through his hair. "Please, you've got believe me, she doesn't mean anything!" He pleaded with her but his plead fell on deaf ears as Riley's eyes turned even colder. Another mistake.

"So you threw our relationship out the door for NOTHING!?" She yelled angrily and Devon tried to speak but found himself speechless. She wouldn't understand and he was sure she wasn't going to believe him. He walked up to her and grabbed her shoulders.

"Please, Riley. I love you. I love you more then anything and I can't lose you!" He yelled and he could feel small tears come to his eyes and mix with the rain. "I'll do anything!" He pleaded and Riley nodded. He let out a sigh of relief but it was short lived as she once again shook out of his grasp.

"Anything?!" She asked and he nodded. "You can stay the hell away from me, Devon! We're done! Don't ever speak to me again!" She yelled and stormed off.

Devon watched as the girl he loved more then anything walked away from him. She walked away because he made her. He closed his eyes and sunk to the ground. It was over. They were through. The worst of it was that he had do respect her wishes and stay away from her. He wasn't sure if he could. He loved her to much. Devon put his head in his hand and let it rest there. His head was spinning. He didn't know what to do. He didn't think that Riley would ever forgive him. But he had to try. He wouldn't lose her. He couldn't.

As he tried to stand up, he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach. He felt as if he had the flu, but he was just guessing that it was from all the alcohol he had consumed. He closed his eyes for a moment and went back into the house. He walked up the stairs and went into his bedroom where he saw Vicky already dressed. She was sitting on his bed, staring into space.

"Get out." He said calmly and went for the bathroom. He leaned against the sink and tried to calm his sick stomach. He closed his eyes as he dripped water on the floor from the rain. He ran a hand through his hair and looked into the mirror. He turned as he saw Vicky staring back at him. "I said get out, Vicky." He said a little bit more harshly. She flinched slightly and to his surprise, she looked guilty.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."She started but Devon interupted her.

"Get out, Vicky! You did this! You made me lose her! You...you did this!" He shouted at her and she backed up. He closed his eyes as another wave of sickness hit him. He tried to steady himself as the pain got worse. "Just go...please." He pleaded as he tried to ease his pain.

Vicky looked at him and nodded guiltily. She picked up her bag and walked out of the door. She had done what she came to do. She couldn't understand what had possessed her to do such a thing. Her and Devon had been best friends for 14 years. They had been there for one another for so long. Vicky felt tears spring to her eyes as she left the house. What's done is done and there was nothing she could do anymore.

Devon held his head in pain as he layed on his bed. The pain was almost unbearable and he didn't know what was causing it. He could feel bile rise in his throat and he could feel himself start to sweat. He jumped up and ran to toliet and threw up the contents left in his stomach. Tonight wasn't going to be a good night. Tonight was going to be the worst night ever.
