Chapter 3
Welcome to My Life
Peyton Sawyer was sending yet another e-mail to Jake Jagelski he still hadn't answered her last one she wondered if he was alright. She wasn't even sure she was over Lucas and she was starting to have feelings for Jake.
Peyton figured she was pretty freaking pathetic. She had another boring six weeks ahead of her before school started and she had no earthly idea what she was going to do with herself. Her father was working and she was alone just like every other night. She really didn't want to spend all summer inside an empty house.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
She was signing out of her AOL when two girls burst in her room both talking a mile a minute, the first was Brooke Davis and the latter was Haley Scott. The two girls talked until they were finally out of breath Peyton could only catch a few phrases and even those weren't making sense.
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
"Okay." Peyton said. "One at a time start from the beginning." Peyton said taking a seat on her bed. "Okay yesterday. Dan came over while Nate and I were hanging with Lucas; he said he wanted to go on a family vacation to California. And he said I could bring some friends." Haley said excitedly. "So naturally I'm bringing you two." Haley said. "Isn't it great we get a free vacate and Dan gets the bill." Brooke said with a cheeky grin.
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
"You're actually going?" Peyton asked. "Yeah. Why wouldn't I?" Brooke asked. "Luke is going to go." Peyton pointed out. "Yeah. We had a talk and we're all good now." Brooke said. "Really?" Peyton said raising an eyebrow. "Yes! I'm telling you this is going to be great." Brooke said. "I hope so." Haley whispered. Brooke didn't hear her but Peyton did and she nodded her agreement.
She could either stay home and mope about Jake or she could go to California. It really seemed like a good idea until you factored in the Scotts. Peyton bit her lip and listened to Haley talk about the particulars of the trip. They were going to drive so that would take like a week. Brooke pouted when she heard that.
But when Haley mentioned they would be taking a tour bus that would easily accommodate all nine of them. Brooke got excited again. Peyton wasn't so sure about the trip but she figured it was better than sitting alone in her room blasting eighties metal. She could be on a bus blasting eighties metal and hanging with her best friends.
