Her mind was racing with wild thoughts. As the Sweat dripped down her back Peyton paced like a tiger waiting for its opportunity to strike. She couldn't hold this secret in any longer she had to tell someone and she knew just who to call.
The door creaked open as Peyton sat on her bed in sweat pants and a baggy shirt, drawing. Drawing was a place where she could escape from the world. A quick knock snapped Peyton back into reality. Haley stepped in the room with a worried look on her face. When Peyton had called Haley earlier her voice was shaky and soft. This only created more tension between the two.
"Hey, you wanted to talk to me about something."
Peyton shut her book in which she had been drawing. Her nerves took over and she felt that familiar knot coming again. 'NO!' she told herself. She would not let her body take control. She swallowed hard and tried to breathe easily.
"Hales, I got a problem."
Haley's expression said everything.
"Spill it."
Peyton took a sharp breath then stood up. Her whole world began to spin but she tried to ignore it. That knot continued to battle with Peyton. Finally the forces of nature won. Peyton ran to the bathroom for the 3rd time in 2 days. Haley made her way to the door. She knew what Peyton wanted to tell her.
"Oh my god, Peyt!"
Peyton only continued to get sick. When she got things under control she opened the door. Haley just gave her a big hug. Hot tears formed behind Peyton's eyes. Once again her fought a battle with herself and lost. The hot tears streamed down her face and on to Haley's shoulder.
"Haley, how am I going to do this? I can hardly take care of myself how am I going to take care of a baby?"
Haley shook her head. She was just as astonished as Peyton was. Haley hadn't a clue about babies but she would try to help Peyton the best she could. Suddenly she stepped away from Peyton. Her eyes wide.
"What's wrong Hales?"
"How are you going to tell Luke?"
Peyton's confused look vanished. She stood as stiff as a rock. Thoughts came racing into her mind. A sudden shiver went through her sine as another set of hot tears rolled down her checks. She sank down on to her bed and pulled her knees to her chest. After a few minutes she clamed herself and answered Haley.
"I don't know!"
Peyton's expression didn't change. Haley unexpectedly looked at the clock. It was 4:30. She had a date with Nathan at 5:00.
"I gotta split Peyt, take care okay. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Okay and Hales don't tell anyone.
"Don't worry, I wont."
The door latched into place as Peyton continued her drawing. The pone rang but Peyton didn't budge.
"Hey, Peyt, Its Luke. I'll be over in 15 minutes. Love you. Bye."
"Oh Shit!"
Peyton was so caught up in her thoughts that she forgot she had a date with Luke.
"15 minutes!"
Peyton ran to her dresser and picked out a pair of tight denim shorts and a black tank top with thin red striped going diagonally across it. She red to the bathroom and applied silver eye shadow, black eyeliner, a ruby colored lip stick, and a black massacre. Immediately after doing that the doorbell rang. Peyton ran to the door and gave Luke a quick peck on the lips. She told him she would be ready in a few minutes. She grabbed her black high heal sandals and picked up her purse.
"Hey baby, you ready yet?"
Luke showed up at her door. Peyton stepped toward him and kissed him passionately. Lukas tongue licked Peyton's lip asking to enter. Peyton rejected the invite she pushed him away jokingly.
"Okay, Luke that's enough I don't want you to get sick of me."
A smile crossed her face as her giggled. Luke's eyes begged for more.
"Tonight."
Peyton pushed Luke playfully out the door and into the car.
"Where are we going?"
"I don't know, Peyt. Where do you want to go?"
"The café we don't have to pay there."
"Okay."
Luke gently put his arm around Peyton and played with her hair.
Besides the sound of the motor there was not another word said. Peyton loved Luke so much but she still couldn't even think of telling him her secret. Brooke suddenly crossed her mind. She froze sitting dead still in the seat. The color drained from her face.
"Brooke." Peyton whispered still not budging.
"What was that, Peyton?"
Luke turned his head to look at Peyton. His mouth dropped wide open as he looked at the ghostly figure that was suppose to be Peyton. He put his hand on her for head she was ice cold. Luke just looked around franticly as if trying to find something to do for her.
"Peyton, are you okay?"
Still there was no answer. Luke quickly noticed that she was breathing but not normally. She was looking straight ahead and no matter what he did she didn't flinch.
"Peyton, I'm bringing you to the hospital."
The last syllable of the word broke Peyton's deep thinking.
"NO!" she screamed. The last place she wanted to go was where doctors were. They would surely find out she was pregnant.
"Peyton your ice cold and you look like a ghost you're going to the hospital."
Peyton was shivering she wasn't sure if it was from anger or worry. She had been in a hospital with her mother for 3 hours. Those 3 hours were the worst of her life. She sat in a waiting room to find out if she was okay. Only to have a doctor tell her she was gone. She swore unless her condition was extremely life threaten she would never set foot in hospital again.
"No, Luke I'm fine. I'm still getting over that stomach bug. It's no big thing really."
"I'm still taking you your not looking so good."
"Luke you're not listening to me. I said I'm fine. You don't know how it is to sit in a hospital for hours waiting to find out if someone you love is okay. I sat there for 3 hours only to find out that my mother was dead. And I swore to god I'd never set foot in a hospital again. Unless it was extremely serious. And this isn't!"
Her voice was crueler then intended. She saw the hurt in Luke's eyes. The guilt came over her like a waterfall.
"Luke I didn't meant to..."
"I'm sorry I didn't know. But you just looked so ghostly I got scared."
"Thanks for caring. I love you."
He didn't answer her. He just kind of smiled as if to say I love you too. The rest of the car ride was silent. Peyton tried to forget about their argument and make the best of the rest of the evening. That wasn't too hard until something unexpected happened.
