Lucas picked Peyton up to go eat breakfast. He wasn't going to tell her
about the note Brooke left him, he just couldn't deal with that right now,
the last thing he needed was to get into a fight with Peyton.
"So I was thinking we could get breakfast to go and eat by the docks?"
"Yea that's fine" Lucas said with a hint of distance in his voice.
"Luke, are you okay?" She asked hearing the distance; she figured it was
probably because of Dan.
"Yeah, you know I'm just pissed about Dan", He Lied, because in reality his
thoughts were steadily on Brookes note.
"Okay, well if you want to talk about it you can talk to me" She offered,
placing her hand on top of his reassuringly.
He smiled lightly, adjusted her hand in his and said, "Yea I know."
They pulled up to the diner where they were going to get their food, after
they ordered what they wanted, Lucas pulled his wallet out of his pocket,
causing Brooke's letter to fall out. He didn't realize that it fell out
because he was too busy paying for the food. Peyton had seen the letter
that had fall out, so she picked it up and read it. Bad images went to her
head and all she could think was how could he do this to me. The hurt that
stabbed at her heart killed too much, but she decided not to say anything
to him until later. She would give him the satisfaction of a doubt and
allow him to tell her first.
Lucas and Peyton pulled up to the docks and sat down.
Peyton smiled at him slightly, and asked, "So did anything interesting
happen before you picked me up?"
"No, I talked to Keith he's coming over at 12, so if you want to go back to
my house before he comes then we can after were done eating."
She sighed out of frustration. Even after she had given him the perfect
opportunity to tell her about the letter, he didn't even mention it.
She rolled her eyes; it was seriously pissing her off now. "That's all? No
one has told you anything lately?"
"No." Lucas lied, avoiding her eyes.
"Funny, cause this fell out of your pocket when you took your wallet out!"
She said as she held up the letter.
"Peyton I was going to tell you...But" He tried.
Peyton cut in- "But what Lucas, were you going to call her and *Catch up on
old times* "
"Peyton come on you know I don't like her, I didn't tell you because I
didn't want to ruin our day, I was going to tell you tomorrow." He pleaded,
sincerity in his eyes.
Peyton sucked her teeth and yelled, "Guess what, you already ruined it!
Jesus Lucas! You act like NOTHING happened between you two, or do I have to
remind you, after telling me you wanted us to have a relationship-- I find
you kissing Brooke! Then you stop talking her to be with me, but then hey!
She pops up again, telling you she loves you and you should be with her not
me. Yeah, that's okay, that's nothing!"
"Okay first of all Peyton, when I told you I wanted more you didn't want
anything but SEX! So don't even go there and yea I did like Brooke, but
obviously I like you a hell of a lot more. I wasn't going to call her, when
she told me I should be with her what did I do? I told her not to talk to
me anymore because of you, so don't even go there." He was angry now;
Peyton was accusing him for something that didn't happen.
She wasn't in the mood for the drama. "Whatever Lucas, just take me home, I
so don't want to be with you right now."
Lucas got up, headed to his car and muttered under his breath, "Fine,
whatever Peyton."
They drove to Peyton's house in complete silence. Finally, for what felt
like a lifetime, they pulled up to Peyton's house.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow" She said coldly.
Lucas sighed, rolled his eyes and said, "Peyton come on, would you just
stop it."
"No, Lucas I won't, I'm sick of this bitch always ruining everything." Her
words were cold and truly weary.
"And that's my fault how?"
"Its your fault cause you should have never kissed her in the first place."
"Peyton we weren't even going out when I kissed her, you rejected me
REMEMBER?"
"Whatever I don't want to talk about this, I call you later." She said,
opening the car door and sucking her teeth.
"Fine, bye" He rolled his eyes and looked at the road in front of him.
"BYE!" She yelled, slamming the door and walking away.

Lucas drove home, these fights with Peyton were getting really old, and he
couldn't take it anymore. Lucas parked the truck looked at his porch steps.
Who was there? Brooke. Not to mention she was there at the worst time
possible.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
She smiled, and with a sexy voice said, "Its good to see you too baby."
"Brooke will you get the hell out of here!" He yelled.
"Nope" Brooke said giggling
"Listen leave me alone, I don't want to see you, I don't want to talk to
you and I sure as hell don't want to hook up with you!"
"Keep telling yourself that Lucas, its actually kind of cute. I see the way
you look at me." She said persistently.
"BROOKE, LEAVE!"
"Oh baby it will only be a matter of time till you see you want me."
"Brooke I don't want you."
"I'm not worried, I know you do." Brooke gave Lucas a little smile and
kissed him on the cheek. "Bye baby, I'll be waiting for your call."
"You wont get a call."
Brooke waved to him and Lucas went inside his house, up to his room. Lucas
lay in his bed and thought to himself * a part of me does want her, I'm
sick of all the drama with Peyton. Brooke's just so carefree it would be so
much easier. I do love Peyton, God I so cant deal with this all right now.
* Lucas turned his light off and went to sleep.

"I can't believe your father did that to him." Haley sighed and said, "No
actually, I can believe that your father did that to him." She cussed under
her breath. "Why's he such an ass?"
"I don't know." Nathan said, pulling Haley next to him. "I'm glad I'm not
like him anymore."
"Me too." She smiled, hugging him lightly and closing her eyes.
They both just sit there, on his bed and talk. It's been an ordinary thing
for a while now and they both enjoy it.
He looked into her brown eyes, getting lost in her beauty and said, "I
really do want to be with you Haley."
She smiled, kissing him on the lips softly, and hugged him tighter. "I
couldn't think of being with anybody else."
He smiled warmly, kissing her forehead and rubbing her cheek. "Never leave
me."
"If you never leave me first." She chuckled, looking into his eyes.
He was serious, a stern expression on his face, something she hasn't seen
in along time. "I need you Haley James."
She was caught off guard, but smiled brightly, "I need you Nathan Scott."
"I hope so." He lay down, pulling her on top of him and just looked in her
eyes.
She shifted slightly at the awkward position, but stay there and look back
into his eyes. "I really love you." The words slipped out and Haley almost
caught her self - Almost. She didn't know what his reaction was going to
be, but she thought it was at the right time.
"I really love you too." He kissed her chin, looking her straight in the
eyes. "What's going to happen to us once we graduate?" He shifted
uncomfortably, not really looking forward to her answer. "I mean, its not
too far away, almost in a month. What's going to happen, when we live in
two different places?"
"I don't know Nathan." She sighed, getting off of him and sitting on the
bed. "I really don't know."
