The Devastating Truth
"What?" They asked.
"Well, could you girls go into their rooms," asked Dan, and they left.
"What's up," said Luke.
"Well son, your mom and my older brother have decided to move and leave you with Deb and me. Are you okay, son?" Dan asked.
"Yeah, but when are they moving? Does she want to see me?" Asked Luke.
"Well, son, she's left already. She and Keith didn't feel like raising you any more. They were insane for leaving a great kid like you. I'm sorry, Luke." Said Dan, giving Luke a hug.
"Wow," said Nate. "I'm sorry, bro, real sorry, but you're here with a dad and a mom that love you."
"Yeah, well, Karen and I have been growing apart and I need to go talk to Peyton." Said Luke.
"Okay, Luke, we can talk later." Said Dan.
He ran up to his room, his nice big room, with the waterbed and high tech cell phone, and his own bathroom and shower. He had a brand new car. A dad that loves him and a brother that he couldn't be any closer with. He also had a mom, Deb was a mom in every way that counted and maybe his life will be okay. He was sad of course. He was always close with her, what happened? He asked himself. He found himself crying and Peyton asking him what's wrong.
"Baby, what's the matter?" She asked him, giving him a sweet, but passionate kiss.
"Karen left me." Said Luke.
"Karen, your mom," Asked Peyton.
"Yeah," Luke said, still crying.
"You want to talk to me," Asked Peyton.
"No, not right now, just let me hold you." Said Lucas. "I love you Peyton. Never leave me, please. I will always love you."
"I love you, too." Said Peyton, kissing him.
"Right now I think I am obligated to go talk to my best friend and brother, will you come with me?" Luke asked.
"Yeah, of course." Said Peyton; she kissed him one last time before talking to Hales. They went and knocked on Nathan's door.
"Hey, bro, want to tell Hales now, I told her that you should tell her," said Nate.
"Yeah man," said Luke, now turning and facing Hales. "Hales my mother, she left and she's not coming back, she abandoned me, forever, no coming back. This is finally my rightful home and you know what, fuck her. I don't need her. I need my true family who is Deb, Dad, Nate, you Hales, and Peyton. That's all I need. I loved my mom. Even if she does come back, though. I will never respect her. She is not part of my life any more. Deb is my mom in all the ways that count."
"Wow," Haley said. "Are you all right?"
"No, not at all, I'm scared, frightened, and angry. Most of all angry. Everyone, I just want to say thanks. I love you guys." said Luke. He tooke Peytons hand and kissed it. "Well I am gonna go talk to Dad and Mom, see ya."
He and Peyton went to his room. He said,"Pey, stay in my room for a minute. Like I said, I wanna go talk to my mom and dad. I'll also clear it with them that we are going out tonight. Do you want Hales and Nate to come?"
"No, can it just be you and me," asked Peyton.
"Of course," He said, kissing her hand. "Be right back."
"What?" They asked.
"Well, could you girls go into their rooms," asked Dan, and they left.
"What's up," said Luke.
"Well son, your mom and my older brother have decided to move and leave you with Deb and me. Are you okay, son?" Dan asked.
