Chapter One

Default Chapter

Lucas Scott walked up on to the porch of Brooke's house. He saw her sitting there on the wooden bench watching him walk up to her.

"Hey," he said to her. She just looked up at him with a serious look on her face. "What's wrong?" he asked her.

"We need to talk, Luke," she paused and looked at him in the eye as he sat down beside her.

"What is it Brooke?"

"Things aren't like they used to be. I feel like..." she paused and looked at him and he knew it was the end, "I see you and Peyton together. There's no joke there Luke, you and me aren't right for each other. We have nothing in common! I see you, and I see you with her and it's just there. I'm sorry, but," he could see a tear drop from her eye, "I can't do this anymore..." she said as she got up and walked inside her house, closing the door behind her.

Lucas sat there, just looking at the floor of the porch not believing what had just happened. He didn't want to admit to himself that what she said was true, but somewhere inside of him there was something just wanting to break out. He wouldn't let it escape though, not yet.

Peyton walked through her house and sat down on the couch in front of the TV as she picked up her drawing book and her black pen off the table. She began to draw as she heard the phone ring.

She got up and ran to the phone that was on the kitchen wall.

"Hello?" she said. Breathing was on the other line. "Hello?" she repeated.

"Peyton," it was Lucas. "Peyton, meet me at the basketball court, okay?" he asked.

"Okay," Peyton replied, slightly worried that the tenseness in his voice didn't mean anything good.

Luke was shooting a basket when he saw Peyton's car pull up beside the court. He walked quickly up to her as she got out of her car.

"What's wrong Lucas? Did something happen with Nathan?" she asked.

"No," he said as he let a small tear fall from his eye.

"Is it Brooke?" she questioned. He nodded. She pulled him in closely for a hug. "What happened?" she asked as her chin was on his shoulder as she was still embracing him in the hug, he replied back to her.

"We broke up," he answered as Peyton let go. She looked at him deeply in the eye.

"What?" she said, "I thought you guys were so happy together?"

"She was happy..." he started, "I wasn't..." he stared at Peyton in the eye and she almost knew what he was going to say next. "Look Peyton, I've been spending my time lately with Brooke when all I can really think about is being with you. I just couldn't stand it anymore, and I knew that I had to do this," he said.

Peyton stared up at him in the eye. "Lucas, I can't do this. Brooke is my best friend! I would never betray her like that. I just... can't."



"Peyton," Lucas started, "if Brooke is your true best friend, she will understand. How can you resist something that you know that you're feeling inside just because you rather would not hurt your friends feelings... or go for something and take a chance on something that could last?"

She stared at him for what seemed like the longest time until she just gave in and kissed him softly on the lips. He kissed back. For a while, they both felt like they were somewhere else, and for part of the time, they were. When they both let go, they looked each other in the eye and knew that this was the beginning of something, something that would be great in the long run. Peyton knew it was worth it. She never wanted to let go of him again.
