Chapter 5

Haley James sat on Peyton's bed, and she wondered if she really was pregnant or not.  She wondered if Nathan would support her if indeed she was.  Then she thought of Lucas, and how if Peyton was pregnant, he would be there no matter what.  Then she also thought of Peyton, and how she was.  She probably wouldn't let Lucas be there for her.  She would think it would ruin her little act of feminism or something. 

"Well, how about we find out?"  Haley shivered at the thought, and knew she was talking about herself finding out, not Haley.

"Are you ready to do that?  You know, you might not be."

"Well, I have never been late for more than a couple days in my whole life, so I have a pretty good idea."  Peyton didn't seem in the slightest bit nervous. 

"P, why aren't you very nervous.  If I was about to find out if I was pregnant, I'd be freakin, but you don't seem to be very nervous.

"Well, I already have it figured out."

Haley almost passed out at the thought of what she thought Peyton would do. 

"You're not gonna give it up or anything stupid like that are you?"  She asked nervously, thinking of what that would do to Luke.

"No.  I'll go to school until I start showing, then I'll move in with my aunt.  My dad will support me."  She said nonchalantly.

"And what about Luke?  Are you just gonna forget that he's the father?  Cause you know that's not right."  Haley said, starting to get mad.

"Does it really matter?" 

Man, Peyton was going to start putting up her walls again, she was going to shut her and Luke out, and Haley wasn't going to let her do this to Lucas.  He deserved better than that.

"YES, it does really matter.  Lucas would die if you didn't tell him about this, and you know it." 

"Well, I'm probably not anyways."  Peyton said, the hurt expressions clouding her face.

Haley could tell that Peyton was too scared for all of this.
