**This will be short and I apologize but it is mostly me writing this until
things slow down for Robin. So being as I have class in 8 hours and have
yet to take a shower I just have about 10 minutes to post a chapter. **
"Come on Jake just tell me what is going on. What does this have to do with Peyton? She already told me that Haley snapped at her, and told her that she wasn't good enough for me."
Jake just looked at Lucas and laughed. "I can't believe that you really are dumber than I thought. Come on Luke give me a break does that even make sense. Why would Haley run out of here in tears over that?"
Peyton knowing that now was the only chance to save her ass decided to try to cover her tracks. "Look Lucas, apparently Jake's date didn't go so well but that doesn't mean he has to come back here and ruin ours."
Jake just turned to Peyton and laughed, "Nice try Peyton but I am not leaving until Luke hears what you said to Haley."
"But Lucas...."
"Peyton let Jake talk. Come on Jake tell me what is going on. I trust you, I know that you would never lie to me."
"Well it is funny that you say that Lucas. You would think that you would know Haley alittle bit better than you obviously do. I mean come on Luke just think about what Peyton said, it is obviously a lie. Just look at her trying to squirm her way out of this."
Lucas turned towards Peyton and did notice the fear in her eyes. He just tried to keep his emotions in check until he found out what Peyton did to Haley. "For your sake Peyton you better hope that you didn't do anything to Haley, or you can consider yourself out of my life completely, you will be dead to me."
Jake took that as a sign to start explaining to Lucas. "Luke man, I can't even believe she is this cruel but I guess jealousy is a sick emotion. Peyton basically went into the bathroom and issued a warning to Haley. She told Haley that she may be his best friend but that she would never be your girlfriend. Peyton told Haley that is one thing that she will never be to you. She told Haley that she isn't your type; that you are a basketball player and that you are suppossed to be with a cheerleader or someone out of the popular crowd."
Jake paused for a minute letting the words sink in. "And the cruliest thing she said was, 'Haley let's be realistic you aren't really part of that crowd now are you. Now I tried to be your friend, but now I just want to make sure we understand each other. You keep on trying to get Lucas and I will make sure that he never has anytime for you anymore." Jake turned towards Peyton who had once again turned on the tears. Lucas was silent but you could see the anger seething in his eyes. Peyton touched his arm and tried to explain.
"Don't touch me and don't ever talk to me again. The only reason you are crying is because you got caught. And let's get one damn thing straight. Haley is worth a million cheerleaders. So how dare you tell her that she isn't good enough." Lucas slammed his chair back and headed out of the restaurant. Peyton cried out after him, "I was just trying to get close to you."
Jake turned around, "How does it feel Peyton, looks like you are the one Lucas won't be having time for anymore."
Jake meet Lucas in the parking lot. "Look Lucas, not that I think you deserve her forgiveness right now, but I think that there is something that you need to know. And despite all my hesitation, my gut feeling says just to tell you. Haley is in love with you. She has been for awhile now and that is why she has been struggling with your closeness to Peyton. Haley wanted to make it go away and she just can't seem to get past it. Now keep that in mind when you go over there to talk to her, she is pretty devestated. Maybe before you go over there you should sort out your feelings for Haley."
"Jake where is she? We need to talk now. I can't let her keep on hurting when I was the cause of it."
"Lucas just don't hurt her man, cause the next time I am going to kick your ass, no questions asked. Haley is too sweet of a girl to keep getting her heart trampled. She is at my house with Jenny. I promised Haley some food so you head over there and I will be there shortly."
"Okay thanks Jake, wait a minute who is Jenny?"
"Lucas it is my daughter, we can talk about this another time. Just get over there and work things out with Haley."
Lucas got into his truck and headed to Jake's. As Jake was getting ready to get in his truck Peyton walked over to him. "Jake where did Lucas go?"
"He went to find Haley." Jake turned his head in her direction. "Looks like the bitch won after all. Can you give me a lift home since Lucas abandoned me?"
Jake just laughed in her face. "No Peyton I think you are wrong, the bitch lost. And you can walk for all I care."
"Come on Jake just tell me what is going on. What does this have to do with Peyton? She already told me that Haley snapped at her, and told her that she wasn't good enough for me."
Jake just looked at Lucas and laughed. "I can't believe that you really are dumber than I thought. Come on Luke give me a break does that even make sense. Why would Haley run out of here in tears over that?"
