Chapter 10: A few weeks later
Brooke was having the time of her life at college, no worries, no having to put up with being around her parents, well if you could call them that anyway. She and Nathan had been seeing each other for a while now and it was smooth sailing so far. She couldn't believe it, Brooke Davis, the biggest female player around actually seeing one guy? It was all new to her but she didn't care, this guy was something special that was for sure. He was talented, funny, and a little arrogant at times but he was cool. He didn't seem to have any drama here, of course she knew all about his past, he really opened up to her. This was something she had never experienced before, was she falling for him? Maybe, she didn't care. It was good, it was real, this was finally the security she needed.
Nathan was sat in his room, thinking about the way his life was turning out. He had never expected in a million years that he would be sat here with only one girl on his mind, he would never have guessed that he would be seeing one girl, one beautiful girl who caught his eye almost as soon as he arrived. At least he could say that he was nothing like his father, he was turning into a decent guy. Brooke, she sure was a hell of a girl and even better was that she was best friends with his brother's girlfriend. He laughed to himself slightly. Lucas was in love already. Peyton was a good girl though and no doubt was she beautiful, he was happy for his brother. He just had to wonder what their dad was going to say when they brought their girlfriends home. Would he be happy for them? Finding two beautiful and amazing girls, or would he just complain about the fact that they should be focusing on their game rather than wasting time falling in love so young? Honestly Nathan didn't care, he was happy. Either way he would have to face it as a break was coming soon.
Peyton Sawyer, in love? How ironic is that? The defensive, moody girl who would normally push guys away if they got too close, allowing her heart to be taken by the first guy she had met at college. She had even told her father about him, strange as that may be. She didn't care, he was special and he cared. Sure they had had a minor set back with the whole Theresa issue but she seemed to just stay away after whatever Lucas said to her and things were going well. He was still caring, sweet and considerate, as if every date they had was their first. She always wanted to feel this way. Thoughts of meeting Lucas' mom settled on her mind. Lucas always talked about his mom, she just hoped that they would hit it off. Peyton didn't have a mother anymore so it would be great if Karen liked her. Lucas always said that she would love her but she wasn't so sure. She guessed she would find out as he had been rattling on about taking her home with him. To think it was only a week away. No doubt she was scared but she would go through with it for him and she couldn't deny that she was excited.
Lucas couldn't wait for break to come, he couldn't wait to see his mom. He missed her so much, but more exciting would be that she would get to meet the girl who had captured his soul. His mom was so excited to see Peyton and he knew that she would love her, who wouldn't? It's strange how things turned out. He knew he was in love, he loved everything about this girl. The way she wrinkled the skin around her eyebrows when she was drawing, the way she would look down to hide the fact that she was upset. The sarcastic way she answered his often stupid questions. He even loved her love for Brooke, never had he seen two girls care about each other as much as they did. He loved how beautiful she looked, even when she wasn't trying. She was truly breath taking. So this was love? He didn't care as long as this feeling never went away.
First love, it was ironic how you never feel so alive. It's the most special situation to ever occur, feelings arising that had never been there before. You may think that you were in love before but once you feel the real thing you just know and nothing could take you down from your constant high. The four of them were feeling the beginnings of it and as confused as they were, they only wanted to experience it more. The next two weeks could either make or break their love and no matter what they were going to find it out.
