*****FLASHBACK*****
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.
*****END OF FLASHBACK*****
Peyton's alarm went off, causing her to grunt.
"Uggh, man, it's too early!" That's when the nausea hit her like a ton of bricks. She flew from her queen size bed to her bathroom, collapsing on the floor, hurrying to pull the toilet lid up. After about three rounds of puking, she washed her face and lay on her bed. Deciding to stay home from school, she called Haley.
"Hello?" Haley's chirpy voice woke her up, and irritated her.
"Hey, I just called to tell you that I'm not coming to school today. And I wanted to tell you not to say anything to Luke."
"Sure, Peyton, but you know that you will have to tell him sometime." Peyton could tell that Haley felt bad, and really wanted Lucas to know that Peyton was carrying his baby. But, for now, Peyton hoped that Haley could keep her promise and not tell him. At least for now.
"Yeah, I know. Well, have fun at school, and tell Luke I said hey." With that, Peyton hung up.
She really needed to figure out what she should do, but it seemed like every time she thought about it, she felt guilty. She knew why she was feeling guilty. Lucas would want to take care of her and their baby, and she didn't want him to waste his life away on that. She saw what taking care of a baby did to a guy, just look at Jake. She knew that Jake loved Jenny so much, but he did confess that it changed things, and it would've been easier without a child to take care of at seventeen. She was sure it'd be the same for Luke.
She also felt guilty because she knew she was not the one Lucas should be with for the rest of his life. She knew that she was totally wrong for him. She always put on a front, and he was very open and a very sensitive guy. She was complicated and rebellious, and all that crap people said about how opposites attract was bullshit. She knew that Brooke really loved him, and he knew that too. God, what hormones could do to a someone. It makes you not think, and do things you regret. She knew that if she told Lucas about her being pregnant, it would ruin everything. So, she had two choices. She could get un-pregnant, so she wouldn't have to lie. Or, she could lie, and keep the baby.
