A WEDDING TO REMEMBER
Dislaimer:I dont own one tree hill or any of the characters that appear in this story
Hey I know its been ages since I updated ive just been so busy and yeah I know i updated the other story but i basicly had written all of that one and had just had to post it up.I feel really bad though because I feel like ive neglected this story which isnt good and if im honest the way series 4 is going has seriously annoyed me and sometimes when i write chapters i look to a episode and brucas scenes to get my inspiration from but series 4 there is nothing to get inspiration from as mark seems to be trying to rewrite the brucas history its hard to watch for me as a fan that the couple i love be treated the way they have but anyways even though I was in a bad mood with this whole leyton thing im in a better mood now because ive been watching my oth dvds and all those great brucas scenes from all the past series and all that brucas magic has inspired me and just restored my faith in the couple even more.no matter what brucas belong together and lucas is a smart guy so no doubt he should come to his senses eventually on the show and hopefully soon.im gonna try and update this story as much as I can as I think its only fair for all you faithful people that have read and reviewed my story and I know the shows not going the way we want but we just need to keep the faith because people that are meant to be together always find their way in the end :).I hope you like this chapter and please review
CHAPTER 37
Lucas sat at his table looking at the clock only ten minutes had passed so far and being in that room wasn't the best place in the world as the negative atmosphere in the room could be cut with a knife and although he hated being in the same room with Peyton a girl who had lied, deceived and twisted everything to get her way there was a silver lining and his was Brooke .Her just being there made him feel better
"You okay" asked Brooke looking up from her her notepad
"What? Oh yeah im fine pretty girl I was just thinking"
"So I can see you always get that look on your face when you're deep in thought" replied Brooke
"What look" asked Lucas smiling to her
She then scrunches her face up and does the look he was doing to perfection
"I do not do that" laughed Lucas
"Yeah you do I call it the brooding look" replied Brooke
"You have a name for it?" asked Lucas
"Of course "said Brooke simply like it wasn't anything before going back to writing in her book
He smiles at how well she knew him how well she had always known him. She always could read him like a book although there was things she didn't seem to be able to read like his thoughts and feelings for her
Peyton sat at the table drawing in her sketch pad lately that was what she had been doing more and more. Drawing was the one thing that had remained constant in Peyton's life everything else always came and went. Plus drawing was Peyton's escapism from everything but then some times it wasn't because mostly she drew anything that was troubling her in hopes of trying to make sense of what was happening but the more she drew it the more it didn't make sense, The one good thing about drawing was if she didn't like what she saw in front of her she could erase it but the same unfortunately could not be done in life. She was now drawing the scene which was going on in front of her Lucas was watching Brooke as she wrote something in her notepad occasionally he would say something to her but Peyton couldn't hear what but Brooke would look up and smile at him. It angered Peyton the way he was looking at Brooke the way he always looked at Brooke and the way he never looked at her. The anger was evident in the picture she drew of Lucas and Brooke they had happy expressions on there face but behind them stood a lone figure with a hurt and angry expression on her face it was a picture of her. The caption simply read "WHAT I CAN NEVER HAVE". She didnt know herself whether the caption meant her friendship with brooke or did it mean her what she had with lucas or didnt have as the case may be.She looks at the picture for a few moments before the picture it self made her even angrier and she pushed all thoughts of them out of her head she rips the picture up and puts it in her bag
"I don't care anyway I don't need anyone especially them." Thought Peyton to herself
Rachel was watching Peyton looking at Brooke and Lucas and the annoyed look on Peyton's face was clear
"Kills you inside don't it" smirked Rachel
"Shut the hell up" answered Peyton who didn't want any type of conversation with Rachel of all people
Rachel smiled again knowing that she was having the desired effect on her
"Why Peyton? Did I hit a raw nerve" said Rachel; she then turned back around before Peyton could say anything else
She thinks she knows everything stupid little bitch.I hate her I hate all of them not one single person ever defends me or even tries to. They would all probably walk over glass bare foot to defend Brooke though. I do one thing wrong and I am public enemy number one, nobody actually cares that I loved Lucas and I was only doing what I did because I had to plus if Jake hadn't screwed things up for me. Lucas and I would be married now and I would found a way to fix things so that he would never have needed to find out about everything
She is brought out of her thoughts by her phone ringing she picks it up from her bag and looks at the caller ID it reads "HELL". She frowns and then answers it.
"What do you want" asked Peyton quietly so that nobody else would know who was calling her
She can hear Dan on the other end laughing
"Now now Peyton is that anyway to talk to a friend of yours"
"Listen I don't have time for this now I have detention and if I get caught talking on the phone when I'm in dentention I wont hear the end of it" replied Peyton
"Detention? Well your days just go from bad to worse don't they? So what did you do?" said Dan
Peyton could almost imagine what he was doing he probably had that smug look on his face that he always did
"I didn't do anything and now I'm in a room with Rachel and her little minions, it's boring the hell out of me" said an irritated Peyton
She pauses and looks around the room although nobody is looking at her its clear they are listening to the conversation and by the look on their faces it was clear they didn't like the last remark
She continues
"Its not my fault if some people get annoyed over the least thing" said Peyton saying the last part of the sentence louder than the rest making sure they heard it"
She can hear Dan laughing again on the other end of the phone
"Well looks like you can give as good as you get Peyton anyway your coming to Tric tonight aren't you?
"I need some days off I don't feel like it today" said peyton
"If we all said that we wouldn't get anything done plus I thought maybe you and I could talk"
"About?" asked Peyton
"Well our little plan didn't go well did it and I think we need to talk more about it"
"No I think I'm busy"
"Doing what?" asked Dan
"I plan to spend my time counting my records" said Peyton sarcastically
"Come on Peyton you know you want to come really plus I've been good to you remember and I'm only asking you to come tonight so we can talk" said Dan with a sickenly sweet tone to his voice
"I think its best if I don't come I don't want any trouble "
She knew if Lucas or any others knew that it was Dan on the phone she would get a another lecture or just another disaproving look
"Who said anything about trouble it's just you and me having a drink and let's face it what would you be doing otherwise? Going around to Brookes? I don't think so but by all means if you would rather go home to a empty house and think about what everyone else will be doing then go along and do that but if you ask me it's a pretty stupid thing to sit at home caring for people who obviously couldn't care less about you" replied Dan
Dan's words sink in as Peyton looks around the room, Dan was right not one of them cared about her so why should she care about them. Why shouldn't she go to see Dan its not like she cared what anyone of them thought well that was what she kept telling herself but somewhere deep down inside she did care about what they thought and she did care about them but she had buried any thoughts of caring for them deep down inside of her so much so that Peyton herself had began to believe she didn't care or maybe it was more the fact she wanted to believe she didn't care because if she could believe that then the looks everyone gave and the things they said wouldn't hurt her half as much as they did
"Fine I guess I don't have anything better to do"
"good speak to you later and Peyton remember in life we all have to look after number 1 because nobody else will look after people like us, we are one of a kind don't forget it"
"Bye Dan" snapped Peyton pressing the button to end the call
Is Dan right am I just like him? Ruining everything that I touch because that's what he does
Nathan leans over to her with a disapproving look on his face as he has obviously heard who she was speaking to
"I would have thought you would have learned to stay away from him Peyton, Look I don't know the whole story but whatever is going on between you and my dad you need to stop it. Because next time people might get hurt more than they have. I know my dad can be controlling when he wants to be but Peyton believe me by still associating with him it's just going make things worse in the long run"
She looks at him surprised that he's actually bothering to talk to her let alone give her advice
"What if I can't stop it" asked Peyton, her tough exterior was almost melting
"Peyton does he have some sort of hold over you?asked Nathan with a concerned look on his face
"Because the way you've been lately and things you have done well I just cant believe you would do it on your own accord that's not the Peyton I know"
Nathan didn't agree with what Peyton had done to Lucas actually he hated what she had done but he also hated seeing her on a one way mission to self destruction and thought perhaps his advice might help but of course once again Peyton's defenses shot back up and she didn't listen to him
"Maybe you just never did know me Nathan perhaps nobody ever did" sighs Peyton who didn't want to talk about the subject anymore
She once again starts to draw again in her sketch pad
"You can't avoid this forever Peyton" said Nathan
"Just watch me "said Peyton glaring at him then going back to her drawing
Nathan shakes his head at her stubbornness
"Fine well do whatever you want you will anyway "answered Nathan taking one final look at her then turning away wishing he hadnt even bothered
