(last chap was just a flashback, peyton wasnt telling anyone, just a flashback...anyway, time for more complications! R&R! enjoy!)
"Lucas, what happened to us? What do you mean this won't work out?" Brooke asked, confused. They were on their usual date at Karen's, it was Friday night. It was a few nights after Peyton had sprung her news on both Scott brothers. Lucas knew she hadn't told Brooke yet, she wasn't planning to yet.
"I can't do this Brooke, it's just not working for me," he said slowly, half of it was true, the other half was a lie. He couldn't do it but everything was working for him. But with Peyton now, he couldn't explain himself to her when she found out, leaving her for her best friend.
"It's not working for you? We have chemistry Luke, what isn't working? Is there someone else?" Brooke asked, her eyes growing wider and wider.
"I uh, I'm just not feeling this Brooke, and no, there is no one else," he said quietly, avoiding any eye contact. He knew he shouldn't be doing this, he was sure Brooke might understand about Peyton, and Peyton would understand about Brooke but he wouldn't be able to do it.
"Fine, it's your loss anyway Lucas, I thought there was something here, but obviously theres nothing," she spat at him, stepping up from her seat at the table, and giving him a hurt look. He just looked her down, feeling just as hurt. He didn't want to do that, he loved Brooke, he saw a life with her. But Peyton needed him more, she really did.

"So whats going to happen now? Are we gonna drop this whole situation and forget it ever happened?" Callie asked, kind of lost in her own thoughts, staring intenly at the floor of their living room.
"We don't know yet Callie, we just aren't sure about anything right now," Peyton said softly, looking down at her hands.
"Alright, then can I go to my room?" she asked, kind of in a hurt way.
"Go ahead," Lucas said, tossing her a key. She grasped it in her hand, giving them both a confused look as she raced up to her room, shutting her door behind her. She knew something else was bothering her dad now, he seemed a lot more distant. She wanted to look through her moms pictures again, even though she knew she shouldn't. No, I won't, she thought. She still knew her parents were hiding something, or at least her dad was. If it mattered to me, he would have told me, she thought, then why didn't he tell me about my real dad? She was getting angry again, she didn't want to be angry at her parents any more, even though deep inside she would never be able to get over this whole thing.
Her parents were still in the living room, she knew it, they were talking. She wanted to get out of the house, she needed some fresh air, she needed a getaway. She snuck into her sister's room, she knew she would still be awake, either reading or drawing. She looked down on her sister, pretending to be asleep, but she could see the flashlight.
"Pencil, I know you're awake, turn on the flashlight," Callie said quietly.
"Don't call me that," Penny said, in a hurt kind of way, flipping on her flashlight.
"Sorry Pen, I had to make sure you were awake, and my plan worked," Callie laughed, sitting next to her sister on the bed.
"Something wrong Callie? I mean you've been so different lately,"
"Nothing's wrong Penny, everything is good, but could you do me a favour?"
"I guess, what is it?"
"I need to um, get out for a bit without mom and dad noticing, I need a break from this house and them, and I know you are a bit old for having nightmares, but do you think you could maybe fake one, to distract mom and dad?"
"Yah, but will you tell me what's going on then?"
"If this goes right, I promise I will, here's what you have to do, put on a scared look, and go downstairs to mom and dad, saying you had a dream about...umm.."
"Falling off a bridge, they know I don't like bridges,"
"Alright, I owe you Penny," she said, messing up her sister's blond locks a bit, making it look like she had been sleeping.
"Okay, here I go, you going out the front door or side door?"
"Um side, so keep it in the living room,:"
"Okay, you owe me Callie,"
Callie gave her a quick little hug,"I know," Callie smiled at her sister, watching her walk down the stairs slowly, a scared look on her face, at least Callie knew it was fake.
"Moommy," she heard her sister say in a scared kind of way.
"Penny, what's wrong honey? Why aren't you asleep?" spoke Peyton, moving over to her youngest daughter.
"I had a dream, and I fell off a bridge, it was really scary and I can't fall asleep," Penny said, pretending to blink back tears. Slowly Callie walked down the stairs, watching her parents hug her sister, I have taught her so well, she thought. As they hugged, Callie quickly moved from the stairs, through the kitchen and out of the backdoor, in record time.
"Alright, safe," Callie said quietly, walking away from her house. She wasn't sure of where she was going, she just didn't want to be at her house. Where to go, where to go, Callie thought as she walked through the streets of Tree Hill. It was kind of dark, but the setting sun left a yellowish kind of dark sky, and all the streetlights were coming on anyway. Only one place came to mind, and no it wasn't the river court.
She walked up to the small cafe, checking her watch, seeing if it would still be open, and it was. She walked in quietly, seeing an elderly couple sitting in the corner at a small table, holding hands. Callie just looked away, not wanting to stare and be rude. She took a seat at the counter, seeing someone else sitting there. Sadly, she knew who it was for her aunt was standing behind the counter talking to him. Of course, she took a seat farther down from him, she didn't really know how she would ever talk to him, her birth father, Nathan Scott.
"Oh hey Callie," spoke Haley, trying to overlook the obvious tension about the situation.
"Um, hi," Callie said lamely, avoiding any eye contact.
"Ok, Nath, I'll be right back, I'm going to recheck the inventory then we can go, okay?" Haley said, with Nathan following up with a nod. That left Callie, Nathan, and the elderly couple. Actually, it left Callie and Nathan, the couple was leaving. It was a very uncomfortable silence, Nathan sipping his coffe everynow and then with Callie nibbling at a chocoloate muffin.
Nathan turned around, looking uncomfortable, it looked like he was going to say something,"Um, Callie, uh, do you..um, maybe want to.."
She smiled at how he had trailed off, "You want to talk? Is that what you're trying to say?"
"Um, yah, I guess I do," he said smiling a bit. She just gave him a small smile, obviously letting him start this conversation.
"I don't really have anything to say, so go ahead," she said, laughing a bit.
"Ok, right, well, I just want to tell you I'm sorry, I guess, well I mean, I just wasn't ready to be a parent.."
She really didn't want to hear this speech, she knew she would snap,"Do you think my mom was ready to be a parent or my dad?"
"No, I just gave up, I didn't know what to think, it was a wrong choice,"
"You say that now, you know, I was thinking, did you even care about me? Or my mom for that matter? How she was doing? What she was going through?"
"Of course I cared about you, and your mom, I just didn't know what I would say to you if I ever met you, or I don't know what I would tell Peyton,"
"If you cared about me how come I am now 14 and finally meeting my real dad? 14 years,"
"It wasn't just my fault Callie, do you really think Lucas or you mom?"
"Don't blame this on my dad, yes dad, Lucas Scott is my dad, and never on my mom, you never deserved her anyway," Callie finished with, shaking her head with a hurt look and walking out of K&Ks.
"This is really bad, I can't believe him, supposed to be my real father, I don't even want to be related to him, blaming it on my mom," she said under her breath as she headed home. At this point, her parents had probably noticed she was gone and she knew she was going to be in trouble but she didn't care, she had told him off, and he had gotten what he had deserved.
