Peyton couldn't believe Nathan had the guts to actually tell her this. She stared at him, confused, and angry. She had finally started things up with Lucas and now Nathan decides he wants her back. Well this time Nathan isn't getting what he wants. Peyton thought to herself.

"Nathan.... It's just to late for us now." She stood up and headed for the door but Nathan grabed her hand. She turned around and faced him. He had a frown on his face. "Goodbye."

***************************

Lucas walked out of the office, startled at what had happened in the small room with Peyton. He thought it over and over until he bumped into Haley.

"Hey. What's gotten you? Peyton turn you down?" Haley said smiling at seeing Lucas. Lucas cleared his throat.

"No, no. Just.... wait. Why aren't you with Nathan anymore? Looked like things were goin' well." He said as Lucas and Haley walked down the stairs to the almost packed basement. About 15 people were scattered around, talking, drinking, and laughing.

"He said he had something to do. Probably with Peyton so I came to find you. What were you doing for so long?" Haley asked sitting on a black leather chair.

"Nothin." Lucas said looking back up at the stairs. "You mind if I leave you alone for a while? I gotta talk to someone." Lucas said still looking at the stairs.

"Yeah, It's no problem. Just don't find anyway that's more intresting than me." He nodded and walked up the stairs. He was walking past the foyer and into the living room when someone shoved him to the wall by the door that leads to the basement. It was Peyton. She kissed him, leaving him confused yet again. Lucas could feel eyes watching him and Peyton kiss. Peyton ran her hands through his hair and he put his hands on her cheek and neck. Peyton pulled away, took Lucas's hand. Lucas saw everyone in the living room gawking at Peyton and himself. He looked towards the kitchen and saw Nathan, frowning at Peyton. Peyton lead Lucas outside to the lawn.

"I had to get out of there." Peyton said still holding Lucas's hand and leading him to the street.

"Peyton... what is this?" Lucas said stopping her beside her car. Peyton looked at him in the eyes and smiled. "What now?" He asked looking for an answer.

"I dunno. Just making out is all. Maybe more later." She kissed him but pulled away after a minute. "Ok, now we're more." Lucas knew that now Peyton was his. He could kiss her, or hold her anytime he wanted to. "You wanna leave this place?" She asked grinning up at him. Lucas looked up at the big house with it's lights on and music sounding from inside.

"I can't. Haley's still in there." Peyton sighed and walked inside the house leaving Lucas to follow her. When Lucas got inside he saw Peyton drinking in the living room talking to Brook and Haley was standing in the foyer.

"She didn't turn you down at all." Haley said keeping a straight face and crossing her arms. Lucas turned towards her and walked closer to her. He tan his hand through his hair and sighed.

"Uh...yeah. You wanna go?" He asked leaning into the wall with one hand that rested right by her head.

"And make you leave Peyton? Never." She asked grinning. Lucas returned the smile and took his hand away, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

"Alright. You have fun." He turned to walk away but Haley took his arm and pulled him back. He laughed and headed towards the door knowing she really did want to leave.

***********************************************

"Looks like your boyfriends leaving without you." Brook said nodding her head towards Lucas and Haley who were talking. Lucas leaned into Haley on the wall with his hand. Peyton pushed past Brook and started heading towards Lucas when he turned to start walking away. He didn't see her but then Brook grabbed him by the arm and they both laughed. Peyton kept walking until she saw them both head towards the door. Brook walked over to her and stopped right behind her. "Go get him. He is yours, unless...." Peyton looked back at her and shot a frown at her. Brook shut up.

Brook walked away and Peyton headed to the door when Nathan stopped her.

"He's gone. You wanna go to my room?" Nathan had his usual, casual, look covering his face that almost made you want to do anything he said. Peyton shoved him aside and turned the knob on the door but Nathan took her hand. "Peyton, c'mon. You can't truely want to be with that bastard?" He asked turning her to face him and letting go of her hand.

"Nathan, it's over." Peyton said and quickly walked outside. Lucas and Haley were no where to be seen. Peyton walked over to her car and got in the drivers seat and started the car. She figured she would go wait for him at his house until he got home.

*************************************************

"You finally got Peyton and you're leaving her at that party?" Haley asked as her and Lucas headed home in Lucas's red truck. Lucas smiled thinking about his lips finally meeting Peytons.

"Ew!" Haley said punching Lucas in the arm. He looked at her and grinned.

"What?" He asked putting his eyes back on the road, seeing Haleys house. He stopped at the front and watched her get out of the car and go into the house, looking back at him only right before she walked inside.

Lucas got out in front of his car but saw a blue car in front of a house two houses down. He knew it to be Peytons car. He grinned, stuffed his hands in his grey sweatshirts front pocket and headed twoards the car. When he passed the first house he could see Peyton in the car ready to get out. Lucas wiped the grin off his face and just kept a straight face. When he was half way there she opened her door and stepped out of the car, shutting the door.

"You didn't tell me you were leaving." Peyton said cooly. Lucas stopped walking and inch away from her.

"I think something happened to Hales... I just was tryin' to help her." Lucas said, his hands still stuffed in his pocket.

"Every girls hero." Peyton said trying to stop herself from grabing him and kisisng him. Not able to resist, she grabbed him by the face and pulled him closer to her kissing him. She turned him around and moved him up to her car and leaned on him making him lean down on the car. "You wanna go to my place?" Peyton asked standing up letting Lucas rub his back.

"I need to go home and get sleep. We got a game tommorow. I'll see you tommorow." Lucas said turning to face his house. Peyton turned him around and kissed him. She pushed him away after a few seconds and got in her car speeding off.
