Hey! I so forgot to explain to you about the name of this story. It is supposed to say Acoustic # 3, but I don't think that you can put those signs in titles. Anyway, the title, like with all of my stories it after "Acoustic # 3", by the Goo-Goo dolls, a really good song btw, you should check it out. Each chapter is a line or two of the lyrics, depending on what I see fitting. Anyway, thanks for the support. The REVIEWS are what get you more chapters btw. So REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW…. Please

Chapter 5: "No one's listening anyway"

Last Chapter:

The two boys, Tommy, and Sam came up to Spencer.

"Who was that?" They asked

"My dad." Spencer said simply.

"You ain't got no daddy!"

"Do too!" Spencer said.

"DO NOT!" Sam said pushing him.

With that Spencer whipped out his fist hitting Sam straight in the nose and kicked Tommy right in the shin…

Lucas was only half way own the hall when he heard the commotion in Spencer's classroom.

He turned around to go back to check out what was going on, when he saw three young boys fall through the door, followed by the teacher who was trying to separate them.

"Spencer!" Lucas said running to him and pulling him out of the fight by the back of his shirt.

Spencer's face was beat red, and his face was tear stained. He had a little blood coming out of a cut in his lip, and what looked like the beginning of a beautiful bruise on his right eye. His injuries were slight in comparison to the other boys. These kids showed no mercy.

Little Spencer was still fighting in Lucas arms to get to the other little boys.

"I HATE YOU!" He was yelling

Five minutes later Lucas found himself in the principals office with Spencer, sitting with his arms crossed in a chair next to him.

"Spencer's behavior today was completely inappropriate today. His lack of ability to control his anger has really become a cause for concern."

"He is being bullied!" Lucas said

"That is no excuse. On several occ-"

"I don't want to hear about what happened on those occasions. All I know is that Spencer WOULD NEVER attack anyone unless time and again provoked."

"This child was not provoked!"

"Says who? Everyday he got cornered by these kids and harassed. They make fun of him because they say that he has no father!"

"And if that is true?" The prinicpal said sternly.

"Are you trying to tell me it's okay! To a four year old kid all they know is someone is making fun of them and hurting their feelings, and while I am not supporting the fight, I am saying that you cannot expect four year olds to behave rationally!"

"Well my son is not the type of child to tease."

"Your son?"

"Tommy."

"Oh, I see where this is coming from!"

"Look. I think that Spencer should seek other pre-school to insure-"

"Fine by me." Lucas said grabbing Spencer's and leaving the school."

Lucas gripped the steering wheel tightly as he drove to the diner.

"Lucas, what are you-" Peyton began as she saw him… and then she saw Spencer "What the hell happened!" She asked angrily.

"I'll tell you what the hell happened. Spencer has been being bullied because the kids at school say he doesn't have a father."

"I cannot believe I let this happen." Peyton said putting her hand on her forehead.

"I'm alright mom, really." Spencer said looking up at her.

Peyton picked up her son and held him close.

"Any word on your car?"

"None. I really have to get to Florida though. By tomorrow at least. I'm Nathan's best man."

"You can take my car."

"What?"

"It's a lend." Peyton said kissing her sons head. "Think of it as a thank you."

"But I will be gone for a week and a half!"

"I can take the bus!" Peyton said. "Or get a ride with Gladys. It's no big deal." Peyton said sitting in the booth.

"What about Spencer, he can't go back to that school!"

Peyton looked over at her small son, as he stared out of the window, head in hands…

"He can just stay here with me…"

"Or come with me." Lucas said meeting Peytons eyes.

"He'd be nothing but a bother Luke."

"You know that's not true. Besides, Jenny will be there too."

"Jenny? OH! Jakes daughter right…" She said remembering the little girl who loved her keys as an infant.

"Come on."

Peyton glanced over at her son. She really needed to tell Lucas the truth… about his father… She could always use this week as a trial period… see how Lucas was with Spencer… Not that she didn't know they were in love with each other already.

"Alright." She said. "As long as you take my car."

"I will take your car under one condition."

"What is that?"

"You meet me in Flordia."

"What Luke!"

"Come on. You would only have to stay for one day. I would pay for your train ticket and all, both ways! It would mean so much to have you there. And then you can also check up on Spencer. He will probably miss you. And then if he wants to come back with you at the end of the day he can. If not he can stay the other 2 days with me. What do you say?"

Peyton grinned slightly.

"Yes!" Lucas said hugging her. "You are not going to regret this!"
