Lucas walked into Peyton's room at the hospital, and saw her sitting there
in tears....
"Peyton, what's the matter?" Lucas asked, walking over to his girlfriend.
"Everything Lucas, everything," Peyton answered as she wiped the tears off
her cheeks
"Do you want to talk, or do you want time alone?" Lucas asked her.
"Stay, we need to talk."
"Okay..." Lucas said with worry in his voice, he pulled a chair next to
Peyton's bed.
"Lucas, I understand if you don't want to be with me anymore." Peyton spoke
slowly, but kept her eyes in
focus with his.
"Peyton, why wouldn't I want to be with you?" Lucas was confused.
"Because...Because I had sex with another guy," Peyton said, now tears
freely running down her face.
Lucas wiped her tears and then took her hand, "Peyton, you were raped, you
did not cheat on me and I wouldn't leave you because of this, I love you
more then anything. I promise, as long as you want me, I'm here"
"Really?" Peyton asked, smiling and crying at the same time.
"Yes, really," Lucas said as he got up and kissed her on her forehead.
"I Love you too Lucas," Peyton whispered.

Meanwhile..............
"I don't know what to say," Nathan paused, looking away from pleading eyes.
He looked back at her, anger
slowly clouding his features, "What do you want me to say?"
She noticed his tone and quickly backed away. "Say what you feel?"
"How am I supposed to know how I feel when you left me?" He said bitterly,
"When Peyton was raped?"
She fought back the tears that stung at her eyes, "I'm-I'm sorry."
He softened a bit, not meaning to be resentful toward her. "No I'm sorry,
maybe I should go," he said
getting up off the chair.
She grabbed his arm softly, "No, please don't leave me here." Her eyes were
soft and pleading with him. "I just don't want to be alone right now, just
please keep me company-nothing more than company?" she reassured.
He shrugged, sitting down and sighing. "Alright."
*****************************************
Lucas and Nathan drove home from the hospital, but when they showed up at
Nathan's
House they saw cop cars outside...
Dan ran over to his to sons, "Don't worry boys I am taking care of it."
"Dad, what do you need to take care of?" Lucas asked, concern written all
over his face.
"Those damn Smiths want to press charges on you two for fighting their
son's," Dan replied
"You got to be fucking kidding me," Nathan said, he was pissed.
"Shouldn't they be arresting ZACK, the one who RAPED my girlfriend"! Lucas
screamed.
"Son calm down, he is in jail and neither of you will be joining Zack." Dan
said as he placed a hand on Lucas's shoulder.
A cop was walking over to the three of them.
"Would you care to tell me what happened?" The cop asked Lucas and Nathan,
but before they could answer Dan cut in
"My son's will not speak until my lawyer is present." Dan paused, he knew
the cop and he knew things about him that could get him kicked off the
force. "You know Peter I know a lot about you, and if my son's have any
charges placed upon them I wont be afraid to talk about what I know, now my
sons have a real future in basketball, something like this could ruin it, I
will NOT stand for that, do you understand me Pete?" He eyed the officer
sternly.
The cop looked very uncomfortable then he spoke, " Danny, Danny I never
said I wouldn't drop the chargers, I will make sure your son's do not have
any more problems, okay?"
"I knew you would see things my way," Dan said with a smug look on his
face.
"Okay, sorry about the trouble boys, have a nice night."
"Bye," Nathan and Lucas said.
"Thank you Peter," Dan said.
"No Problem," The cop answered and then walked away.
"Boys no more trouble with them, you don't want to ruin your future." he
walked into the house.
Nathan and Lucas just looked at each other until Nathan spoke.
"Man today has been the worst fucking day."
"Yeah, Nate I know." Lucas sighed.
"Luke, lets go to the beach house, invite people and just drink," Nathan
said.
Lucas sighed, he didn't know what to do, but he figured he would just
accept because his brother would do
it with or without him and he didn't want Nathan getting in anymore
trouble; besides Haley was staying with Peyton tonight. "Lets do it."
******************************************************
Nathan and Lucas had invited everyone to the beach house except for Tim.
Lucas, Nathan, Brooke, and a few other people were sitting in the kitchen
at the table playing 'I never'.
"I never kissed another girl," One of the girls sitting at the table said.
Brooke took a sip of her drink "My Turn," she said "Umm. I never had a
significant other who fucked one
of my siblings before they started going out with me." Brooke laughed and
stared at Lucas, "Luke drink up." She giggled.
Lucas took a sip and then said, "I never had a Mother who would rather
throw cash at me then talk to me. I guess it's Brooke's turn to drink."
Brooke's eyes started to well up with tears and she got up and left the
room.
"Luke that was pretty fucked up," Nathan shrugged.
"Please, she had it coming," Luke said bitterly.
"Yea I know; can I talk to you outside?" Nathan asked.
Lucas got up and started walking to the patio with his brother; everyone in
the kitchen just stared at them.
--On the Patio---
"Luke, why are you being a dick to her?"
"Because she didn't have to say what she said, Nate."
"Is that it or do you still have feelings for her?
"Nathan, shut up."
"Lucas, your my brother and I know you, I know you still have feelings for
her so tell me if I'm right, now do
you still have feelings for her?"
Lucas began to talk " I............."
in tears....
"Peyton, what's the matter?" Lucas asked, walking over to his girlfriend.
"Everything Lucas, everything," Peyton answered as she wiped the tears off
her cheeks
