"Hey Peyton." Jake greeted when Peyton answered the door. "You look great." Peyton thanked him as they made their way over to his car. "So where is it we're going?"

"Um... 134 Wellington." Peyton instructed." So you're parents are taking care of Jenny tonight?"

"Ya they were more than willing to do it too." Jake laughed at the comedian on the radio, before changing stations. "Uh! There's nothing good on." He said as he winded the wheel off its hook.

Peyton laughed at her absentminded friend. "What happened to your head?" she asked staring at a cut on the side of his head.

"Oh I slipped going up the stairs. Must have cut it on one the steps." Jake said as they drove up to the house. "Here we are."

.

The house was filled with reckless teenagers ready to party. "Hey Lucas." He said approaching his teammate.

"Hey. So you came here with Peyton?" Lucas asked. Jake nodded happily.

The night passed slowly and Jake's mind was left at home. He couldn't stop thinking about Jenny. Is she okay? Does she need me? Should I just leave? Why am I here? Jake asked himself continuously throughout the night.

A young guy who looked about 17 came and sat down beside Jake. "Did you ever wonder what it would be like if guys had boobs?"

Jake looked confusedly at the guy. "No. Did you ever wonder what it would be like if you shut up?"

The guy looked at Jake blankly, his left eye watching the girls that passed and his right staring at Jake. "No."

Jake sighed and got up. Looking around for Peyton, he saw a bunch of guys swarmed around a girl. As he got up, he saw that the girl was Peyton and every time she'd try to get away they'd push her back. That made Jake very angry, how dare they bother Peyton like that. Making his way over to them he yelled. "Get away from her!"

The pack of guys looked over at him and Peyton took her chance to escape. 'Go to my car.' Jake mouthed Peyton shook her head discretely and ran out the door. "You wanna mess with her, mess with me." He said threateningly.

A blonde walked up to Jake. "So you think you're so Jake punched him across the face sending him back wards into the couch. The blonde murmured something and jumped the expectant Jake. Suddenly, Jake found himself on the ground wrestling a guy twice his size. 'He looked smaller standing up.' he thought as a large fist smashed into his jaw. The two guys rolled over hit each other one after the other until another member of the little gang kicked them both in the side. Jake cringed as the guy's steel-toed boot drove its way into his ribs. Seeing this, Lucas and a few others jumped the remaining clueless guys who had been circling Peyton moments before. Jake vision blurred as the blonde punched him continuously. Thinking quickly, he jabbed his knee into his attacker's lower abdomen. As the guy flipped over, Jake jumped up and ran to help his friends.

"Lucas?" he asked quietly as he knelt down beside his friend. Blood and sweat dripped of his face and unto his friend. Jake apologized as he wiped it off.

"I'm fine." Lucas replied as he sat up. "But we've gotta leave."

"What about the others?" Jake asked, looking over at the immense fighting scene.

"They can take care of themselves." Jake nodded realizing he didn't know a single one of the guys. Lucas caught a ride with Jake and Peyton who was sitting in the car shaking. "Are you okay?" Jake asked as he turned on the ignition.

"Yeah I was just worried that you weren't."
