When Jake Admits: Chapter 6
Written By Poser
The half an hour walk to Tree Hill was up. He could see the town, and Karen's Café. He was in downtown Tree Hill. All he'd have to do was take a walk through town, and go to Peyton's house. It began to thunder, so Jake decided he must pick up the pace if he wanted to get to Peyton's house immediately.
"Jenny," he said, trying to keep his coat over the baby. "We're almost there. It's time for you to see your real mother again."
He carried his luggage in one hand and he was carrying his guitar like it was a book bag. He held Jenny close and continued walking. Little did he know in a car nearby, that Nikki was eavesdropping.
Peyton continued to bite her nails. She was nervous. It was getting late, it was pouring, and she didn't know if Jake was on foot or in a car. And what about Jenny? She had worried to her hearts content about Jenny.
"I don't know Brooke," she said with her nails still in her mouth. "I don't know if he's going to make it here."
"He'll make it," Brooke said picking up her stuff. "I better go. It's storming out there. My parents will kill me if I don't get home soon."
"Okay," Peyton said. "'Night, Brooke."
Brooke left and Peyton was alone it had been nearly a half an hour when she heard a knock on the door.
"Jake?" she had said rushing towards the door. But she had only opened it to find Nikki in her threshold, a butterfly knife at hand.
Jake saw it. He had seen Peyton's house. Being as close to the house as he was, he ran the rest of the way there. He saw Peyton's car and smiled. He would knock on the door. Before long Peyton would open the door with her eyes wide and full of tears.
"Jake," she said. "You've got to get --- ugh!"
She was yanked away from the door, and Jake had been pulled in. It was Nikki.
"Hello, Jake," she said in the seductive manner she would constantly use. "I don't think the judge would enjoy you just running off with my daughter, like that."
[I know, it's short. But I got to keep it suspenseful for the end. R&R! ]
