Chapter 7: "Blackbird Fly"
A week and a half later
Peyton glanced around the room as she threw the last of her clothes in the bag.
"I can't believe I'm leaving this place." She said
"Oh please gurlie. Now your out we can get some real food." Brooke said tossing Peytons bag over her shoulder. The only luggage Peyton ever saw her carry was her cheerleading bag. "Come on. Luke's car is outside. We're going home."
Peyton rolled her eyes and shoved her hands into her pockets as she followed her best friend out to where Lucas was waiting in the parking lot. The conversation on the way back consisted of what was going on in school, and other meaningless topics.
When Peyton got home Jake and Jenny were there, along with Nathan and Haley. Jake held up a video tape.
"I figured since we missed our last video night, no time like the present."
"No day like today." Haley finished
"Oh my god you guys are crazy." Peyton said smiling
"We didn't just get out of the physc ward." Nathan said… Everyone but Peyton, who laughed, glared at him. "Bad joke!" Nathan said holding up both hands.
Peyton laughed again.
"So what movie do you have?"
"Well we were going with series movies, so we have all of the terminators, all of the Lord of The Rings, all of the "Scary Movies", I know What you Did Last Summers, both Charlie's Angels, and all of the Harry Potters…" Haley said.
"Good times." Peyton said grinning
"I'm going to go get the popcorn." Jake said heading to the kitchen.
"I'll help." Peyton said taking Jenny and following Jake. "A little burnt?" She said as Jake pulled a black bag out of the microwave.
"I didn't know how long to put it on for!" He complained
"See this button right here on the microwave that says Popcorn." Peyton said laughing
"They should have made it bigger or something!"
"It's the size of all the other buttons!" Peyton argued back. "What are we going to do with him?" Peyton said looking at Jenny, tickling her stomach causing the little girl to giggle.
"I think I should let you do this on your own." Peyton said walking she and Jenny out of the kitchen
"Thanks." Jake said playfully rolling his eyes. Then he remembered something. "Peyton!" He called, she came back in, this time without Jenny, Haley had probably stolen her.
"Yeah?"
"The doctors said that you probably shouldn't be alone." Jake said
"I know that." She said
"Well your dad doesn't get back for another week and a half so I'm going to stay with you." Jake said. "Well for the most part, I may have to go home occasionally, but when I do Brooke or Luke will probably be here." He explained
"God I feel like I am burdening you guys." Peyton said leaning against the counter. "And Jaggar, what if he comes back?"
Jake came over to her and grabbed her hands.
"my brother skipped town right after what happened with you. And we're here for you because we want to be."
There faces hovered in front of each other for a few seconds until Jake could bear it no more and he leaned in and kissed her.
"What was that?" Peyton asked smiling.
"If you don't know what that was I think your crazy." Jake said backing away smiling.
Peyton laughed.
"What does it mean?" She asked smiling
"Whatever you want it to mean." Jake said
"Interesting." Peyton said.
"My kiss was interesting?" Jake asked
"No, that burning smell…" She said looking towards the microwave. "HOW MANY TIME DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU!" Peyton playfully yelled. "USE THE POPCORN BUTTON!"
Finally they got the popcorn situation corrected, and rejoined their friends in the living room who had already started watching the first Charlie's Angels movie. They looked at Peyton and Jake when they came in… both of their hair slightly messed, and grinning from ear to ear.
Peyton reached out for Jenny who Haley held.
"I want her! I want her!" She said playfully.
Jenny reached her hands back out to Peyton, who took her from Haleys arms. Jenny looked back at Haley and smiled.
"I swear that kid hates me." Haley said smiling as she spoke
"Na uh, my Jenny loves everyone!" She said kissing her neck as she sat down on the couch next to Jake, Jenny on her lap. Brooke and Lucas sat next to them on the other end of the couch, ad Nathan sat on the floor leaning against the couch, with Haley resting on his lap.
It was hard to remember times were not always this easy.
