The Truth Comes Out
****Haley and Nathan at the docks****
"Nathan, me and Peyton both think that Luke isn't acting like himself." Said Haley.
"Baby, he's fine" said Nathan, even though he knew it wasn't true.
"Look Nate, I have known Luke since I've been in second grade and I know he isn't acting right. He is your brother. Please talk to him," begged Haley.
"Look Hales, Luke and I had this huge fight." Said Nathan.
"About what?" Haley asked.
"I'd rather not say," said Nathan. He loved Haley, but he could not tell her what this was about.
"Oh, all right," said Haley.
"Speaking of the devil, look who it is." Said Nathan, seeing Lucas walk up to them.
"Hey," said Lucas.
"Hi," said Haley.
"Bro, what's up?" Nate asked, acting as though the fight did not occur.
"Nothing, just thought I'd drop by and see my best friend and my little brother." Said Luke.
"Oh, cool," said Nate.
"Sorry man, it won't happen again," said Luke.
"Alright, sorry for flippin' out big bro'" said Nathan. "I love you, man."
"Love you, too." said Lucas, but he felt his cell vibrate. "Hold up, my phone is ringing. Talk to me."
"Hey son, me and your mother have talk to you and Nathan. Is he with you?" asked Dan.
"Yeah, he is, Haley is with us, can we bring her?" asked Luke.
"This is really not an appropriate time for either of your girlfriends, or best friends to be here. Be here in 5 minutes no later." said Dan.
"Yeah," said Luke, and with that, he hung up.
"Nate come on, we got to drop Hales off, Dad seems really ticked off," said Lucas.
"Ok, well, does he need both of us?" asked Nate.
"Yeah, and he said we had to be there in 5 minutes, let's go," said Luke.
With that they took off in Luke's car because Nate and Haley had walked there. They dropped Haley off and got home as soon as possible.
"You two have anything you wanna tell us?" asked an angry Dan as soon as they walked in the door.
"Not that I know of," said Luke.
"Me neither," said Nate.
"Well then, what is this," asked Dan, holding up the bottle of Luke's drugs.
"They're mine," said Nate.
"No Dad, they're mine, I just wanted to break your record so bad." said Luke,
"Well if the scouts found out..." started Dan, but Karen cut him off.
"Forget about basketball for one second Dan," said a furious Karen. "So that's why you've been acting so different lately."
"I guess," said Luke, where had the found them.
"Well, you're grounded, but not only because of that." said Karen. "You are to Nathan. I thought so much better of you boys. I just found out from Principal Kelly that your grades have been slipping, both of you. And not only that, but I found out that after every game that you to go and get drunk, at our beach house and let everyone in drinking."
"We're sorry." said the boys.
"Well, you're grounded from phone, car, computer, girlfriend, and basketball." said Karen.
"What, no you aren't," said Dan. He thought the idea of his two boys off the basketball team was preposterous.
"Fine, we'll just let our boys go out and getting drunk all the time, let their grades slip, and get Lucas back on drugs. If that is what you want, then fine." said Karen.
"Okay, you boys can't be on the team for 3 weeks. Got it?" said Dan.
"Yeah Dad," said the boys.
"And Luke, you call Peyton, she stopped over earlier and seemed really upset," said Karen.
"I will, I have lots of explaining to do," said Lucas, and with that the boys went up to Luke's room.
"Are you gonna tell her?" asked Nate.
"I am gonna have to, won't I?" said Luke.
"Yeah, well, I think that this is something you should tell to her face." said Nate.
"Yeah, you're right." said Lucas, getting out his car keys. "I will be back."
"Yeah hopefully still with a girlfriend." said Nate.
Luke went to Peyton's house and as always she had her radio blasting, so he just went right in.
"Hey, I am so sorry," shouted Lucas over her stereo.
"Yeah, it's alright." said Peyton, turning the stereo off.
"No, it's not, you don't know the whole story," said Lucas.
"Oh, then tell me," said Peyton.
"Well, I was taking drugs to improve my game." said Lucas.
"You were, are you alright?" she asked.
"You mean, you don't hate me?" Luke asked.
"No, you made a mistake, everyone makes mistakes." said Peyton, giving him a kiss. It was short, but passionate.
"Oh, well, I am supposed to be grounded, so I sneaked out to apologize, my mom and dad found the drugs, found out about us drinking, and getting bad grades, so they took me off the team, which I am happy about I; needed a break." said Luke.
"Oh, well, you better get home. I love you." said Peyton.
"I was wondering, your dad's out for a couple of weeks, right?" asked Luke.
"Yeah." said Peyton.
"Well, can I stay over for a few nights?" asked Luke.
