Chapter 6

"I don't know what to say." Peyton says shocked.

"Say yes." Lucas says still on his knee. She just stands there still in shock. Please."

"I can't."

She runs out the door and gets into the car before he could stop her. She goes home and gets out her drawing book. She draws Lucas kneeling down with dialogue. "Will you be my wife?" She thinks to herself as she draws. 'We are way to young to be getting into something that serious. I mean we still have to finish highschool. And this would make Brooke even more mad at us. Plus she wasn't that in love with Lucas right?'

"Well I did it Haley." Lucas says taking a sip of his coke.

"You did what?" Haley asked while pouring her some coffee.

"I proposed to Peyton."

"Aww congratulations."

"Not exactly."

"Well she said yes right?"

"No."

"OMG you gotta be kidding me."

"No. I'm serious. She flat out said I can't."

"I'm sorry."

"You know what it's ok cause I know she's loves me and one day we will be together forever."

"Yeah. I think she's still bugging out about Jake coming back."

"Yeah I noticed that. You don't think she still has feelings for him do you?"

"No she likes you now Lucas. She would kill me if I told you all the stuff she has said about you."

"Tell me." "Do you want me dead?"

"I won't tell anyone you told me."

"Ok. The other night she told me that she finally has fallen for you and nothing noone know does will change that. Are you happy now?" Lucas smiles.

"Man I love that girl to death. But sometimes I just wish it was back to where it was just you and me you know?"

"Oh yeah before all the drama."

"You were the love of my life and I never in a million years thought we would break up the way we did."

"Oh you mean throwing a lamp at me that nearly put me in the hospital, yeah me either."

"I'm so sorry about that Haley and I still feel so guilty about. You know my temper."

"It's ok it's in the past. Hey do you want to go down to the basketball court just you and me."

"Yeah it's been forever since we actually gotten to hang out just us down there."

"Yeah so come on."

They walk down there. When they got there Haley walks to the center and twist around with her arms out.

"Wow we have came along ways since we were down here last together."

"Why did you quit coming down here after school like we always use to?"

"I got busy with my studies I guess."

"You remember last year when me, you, Peyton, Brooke, Nathan, and Tim all came down here after homecoming last year."

"Oh yeah. That was the night that I had to decided to go all the way with you."

"Yeah, but you were so scared so I decided to wait for you to be ready."

"Yeah."

"But I'm glad we finally did and I hope I made your first time special."

"Trust me Lucas you made everything special for me." They got really close and Lucas puts his hands around her waist.

"Why can't we just press rewind and go back to that night?" Haley says laying her head on his chest.

"You have no idea how bad I wish we could."

Flash Back

Haley and Lucas in her living room when her mom and dad were in California on a business trip and Lucas's mom was in Italy so he got to spend the whole week over at her house. They were watching 'A Walk To Remember'.

"Lucas babe can I ask you something?" Haley asked Lucas snuggling even closer to him. "Sure."

"Do you think your in love with me yet?"

"Yeah. Why do you ask?"

"I don't know I was just wondering."

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah."

"Do you think you trust me enough to go all the way with me tonight?"

"No, and don't be mad at me, but I feel like it has to be when you get that feeling that you love that person so much and you can't wait."

"I understand. I'll wait as long as it takes."

"Lucas please don't give up on me. Like go to another girl behind my back."

"Baby don't worry about that. No other girl can satisfy me the way you can. I won't let them try."

"Thanks. K I'm going to bed are you sleeping on the couch?"

"Well I would rather sleep in your room, but the couch is fine." Haley smiles and kisses him.

"See ya tomorrow."

"You want me to walk you up to your room?"

"No because I'm afraid if you do you won't be coming back down if you know what I mean."

"Come on baby we don't have to have sex your parents aren't home. We could just cuddle all night." He says pulling his shirt off.

"Yeah cuddling people can only go far and you know where it leads you. I'm going to bed."

"Ok night babe."

"Night!" She yells going up the steps.

Haley walks down the hall and goes into her room and lays on her bed. She lays there for about five minutes thinking.

'What if I do give it to Lucas tonight? I mean I love him so why not? What am I doing? I promised myself and my family that I would wait till I was married. But Lucas is so the one I will spend forever with so why wait? What if he tells people? What if I tell people? What if everyone finds out and then my mom and dad finds out. OMG then they will definitely make me and Lucas break up. Then they will never trust me alone again? But I really wanna be with him tonight.'

She ends up getting up and going down stairs. She walks into the living room to find Lucas on the sofa with no shirt and dark blue boxers on. He looks up and sees her.

"Baby what are you doing up?" She lays down beside him facing him.

"Baby I love you and I can't wait any longer. My love for you is so strong right now."

"Are you serious? I was thinking the same thing."

"You can take it or leave it."

"I want it believe me I do. But are you sure? Baby this is your first time are you sure you want it to be with me?"

"I'm positive." Lucas smiles then starts kissing her and he gets on top of her.

"Take it slow Lucas." "I will babe."

End of flashback

"Haley why did you have to break up with me."

"I didn't it was a mutual thing remember?" "

"No it wasn't cause I wasn't ready to let go."

"I'm sorry Luke. I'm sorry for any heartache I ever caused you."

"It's ok babe." She looks up and he stares deep in his eyes. He then leans in and kisses her and she doesn't back away until something just clicks.

"Wait Lucas stop."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry it's just we can't do this Luke. I have Nathan and you have Peyton now. We are gonna have to stop living in the past and move on."

"I don't want to Hales."

"Your gonna have to cause I love Nathan and I won't hurt him like you hurt Brooke. And I will not let you do that to Peyton either."

"I'm not going to hurt Peyton like I did Brooke ok. I actually care alot about Peyton."

"That's good she needs a guy like you in her life."

"Yeah well you need someone better than Nathan in yours."

"Lucas do not go there. You promised."

"I know. But Haley he's going to hurt you."

"But I love him and I am willing to take that chance."

"As long as your happy." "I am and you of all people should know I haven't been this happy in a long time actually I haven't been this happy since we broke up."

Lucas goes home and gets on the Internet to check his e-mail and to see if Peyton was on. He didn't see her on.

Peyton03: Hey like my new sn?

Lucas03: Yeah.

Peyton: Look just b/c I said no the first time you asked doesn't mean I will the second time.

Lucas03: I know that. I just feel like Jake still plays a big part in your life still.

Peyton03: But he doesn't. U gotta believe me on that.

Lucas03: I do believe you. It's just complicated.

Peyton03: Don't make it complicated Lucas.

Lucas: I'm trying not to, but I am going to bed talk to you tomorrow.

Peyton03: Ok night night

Lucas03: Night.

Peyton stays on and draws cause she knew Lucas would watch her as he fell alseep.

Nathan goes home, goes to his room and checks his e-mail and sees a e-mail from Haley. He goes to open it, but is interrupted by Dan.

"Your starting to get home later and later." Dan says walking towards Nathan.

"Why do you care? You never did before."

"I don't care I just would like to know where your going."

"Well it's none of your business."

"Well your my son so yeah it is my business."

"What do you want anyways?"

"I came up here to tell you I am leaving to San Diego tomorrow night."

"Good."

"Your coming with me."

"When hell freezes over."

"Nathan you are coming with me."

"No I'm not."

"Have your bags ready by 5 tomorrow."

"No."

"Nathan if you don't you better go crawling to your mom and see if you can live with her cause you won't be welcomed here anymore." Nathan gets up.

"That's fine dad I'm leaving here anyways. I'm getting my own place."

Peyton goes to Lucas's house. Caren answer's.

"Is Lucas home?"

"No he just left to go to the basketball court."

"Ok thanks." Peyton gets in her car and drives down there.

She sees Lucas on the bench staring up at the hoop. "Your down here alot lately."

"Yeah well I've had alot on my mind."

"Yeah." Peyton says sitting beside him.

"Lucas the other night when you proposed to me I was shocked. All I wanted to know was why someone like you would want to spend forever with a girl like me?" "Why wouldn't I wanna spend forever with you? Your nice, your pretty, and you got to know me really deep inside. Peyton I want to spend all of my days with you. I want it to be Peyton and Lucas Scott forever."

"Peyton Scott." Peyton says laughing.

"Not to bad." Lucas says back.

"I always thought Nathan was the only one for me. I thought our love was so unbreakable. It was funny cause I wrote his name everywhere all over my walls,notebooks, I even had his picture as my wallpaper on the computer. It was just there to remind me of what I had and what not to mess up, but then that day in the library when I was watching you read and you looked at me. My heart melted and then you smiled at me and I knew that you needed to be a part of my life or I was just going to die. Lucas you need to be a part of me. So yes Lucas Scott I will marry you." Lucas smiles.

"Why can't we just do it right here and just be together." Peyton says.

"We can't baby."

"Why not?"

"Just wait a little while ok."

"Ok, but when we do I just want it to be Haley,Nathan,Caren,Deb,and my dad there. I don't want alot of people there."

"You forgot Brooke."

"I know." He pulls her close and they just sit there and watch the stars.

The next day at school. Haley's at her locker getting her book for geometry. Nathan comes up beside her.

"Hey babe." Nathan says giving her a peck on the cheek.

"Hey."

"I got some bad news for ya."

"What?"

"My dad is forcing me to go with him to San Diego."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

"Well your not going right?"

"Of course I'm not going. Haley I wouldn't do that to you."

"You better not. So what are you going to do now?"

"Well I am going to be staying at a hotel until I can find a preeminent apartment."

"Oh ok. Well let's get to geometry before we're late." Nathan takes her hand and they walk to class.

Peyton walking to chemistry.

"Hey Peyt wait up." Lucas yells.

"Hey."

"So has Jake left yet."

"Yes so you have nothing to worry about."

"Peyton let's do it tonight."

"Do what tonight?"

"Let's get married."

"Your kidding I wasn't serious about doing it now."

"Well I am."

"Lucas we can't."

"You know what. I thought you wanted to be with!"

"I do, but marriage can wait."

"No it can't not when your feeling what I'm feeling right now."

"No it can't!" He walks away mad.

"Lucas stop!" He keeps going.
