Peyton finished the last minute touch ups to her make-up. She looked gorgeous and natural. She wore a beautiful turquoise dress that hugged her in all the right places.

"Oh wow!" squealed Brooke as she walked in to the room.

"You like?" said Peyton twirling around.

"Like? I love! You are going to knock his socks off!" said Brooke

Peyton smiled. There was a knock at the door. She opened the door and there stood Nathan. He cleaned up nicely and looked so handsome.

"AW!" said Brooke as she saw them kiss hello. "Well that's my cue to leave! Have fun! Be safe!"

She hurried out of the room.

"So are you ready?" asked Peyton

"Yeah are you?" asked Nathan.

"I really am! So what restaurant are we going to?" asked Peyton.

"Uh we aren't come on!" said Nathan pulling her out the door. He walked her down to the lake.

"Why does this seem like some scary teen horror flick" said Peyton. Nathan laughed. She gasped when she saw the moonlight shining on the picnic basket and blanket set perfectly on the beach.

"Oh Nathan this is perfect!" said Peyton.

"I am glad you like it!" said Nathan. "Uh look I know you aren't a flower and chocolates kind of girl and jewelery means nothing so I wrote you a letter. I don't write poems so yah" said Nathan nervously handing her a letter.

She glowed with happiness. "Nathan this is just the sweetest most romantic thing ever! How did you come up with it?"

"Uh It just came to me" said Nathan. They sat down on the blanket and Peyton snuggled in to his lap.

"Will you read it to me?" asked Peyton.

"Okay" said Nathan.

Dear Peyton,

I am not a poet and I think everyone knows it. Yeah I am funny. But in all seriousness I just have to tell you some thing that are hard to say in person. Like the way you make me feel. The way you have this smile when I annoy you but secretly you think I am cute, or when how you are sleeping you look like an angel or how you groan when I mention basketball or you in that cheerleading outfit. I have never felt this way about anyone before. So I guess what I am trying to say it that. Is that I love you Peyton. I always will. You took a chance on me and I am glad you did. I bet you are too since I am such a catch. You complete me and I am better person because of you. I have had the physical side of you and now I am slowly seeing the emotional and spiritual side. I can't wait to see all of you. Forever and always.

Love Nathan.

He finished reading. Peyton had tears in her eyes.

"Thank you" said Peyton. "Those were the words I have longed to hear form anyone and I am glad that person was you. I love you Nathan."

He kissed her.

Brooke wandered around the campus. Jake told her to meet him at the coffee shop at eight and it was only seven thirty.

She looked in to the place she never entered. The library. There sat Lucas. He looked peaceful. He was go engrossed in his book and you just got this aura from him that he was at peace and happy.

She smiled. She wished she had something that would do that to her.

Jake looked at his watch. He had thirty minutes to get to Brooke. He turned to the sleeping form beside him. She was beautiful. He felt so guilty for doing this to Brooke but he was in the moment and his lust had turned to automatic love and he lost all control.

"Hey" whispered the girl.

"Haley" smiled Jake.

"That was the most amazing experience ever" said Haley.

"Bet you tell Lucas that all the time" said Jake putting on his shirt.

"No never because he haven't you know" said Haley

"You haven't?" asked Jake

"He doesn't think we should yet. Say it could break our relationship. Wants to wait" said Haley putting on her skirt.

Jake watched her. "I know what we did is wrong but I am not sorry because I am glad this happened. I want you so bad Haley"

"Yeah but you are with Brooke and I am with Lucas. I can't break up with him yet" said Haley quietly.

"Well I need to be with you! We have to at least keep this up! Maybe friends who have fun once in a while" said Jake

Haley thought for a minute. "Okay"

She smiled at him one more time before hurrying out. She never noticed that she had left her necklace on his night stand. Jake showered quickly and hurried to meet Brooke.

Brooke walked in to the library.

"Hi" said Brooke sitting down beside him. She just had to at least talk to him. But she noticed her friends walking in. They wouldn't understand.

Lucas looked confused and hurt when she walked off and started making fun of him but he was used to it.

Haley walked in to the library.

"Hey!" said Haley kissing him.

Lucas looked at her. He could smell cologne on her. It smelled familiar. He just let it go. He could lose her.

"I love you" said Lucas

Haley was surprised.

"I shouldn't have said that" said Lucas embaressed

"I love you too" said Haley. She didn't really but she couldn't be with Jake so she had to say that.

Lucas smiled.

"Dinner?' he asked

Haley wasn't hungry, she felt horrible for lying to Lucas.

"Coffee?" asked Haley hoping to see Jake.

Brooke knocked on Jake's dorm. She used her key. She looked around it was empty.

"I guessed your already gone" said Brooke to no one. Then she noticed a familiar necklace on the night stand. A very familiar one since it was a friendship necklace she and Haley wore. The sheets were messed up. She wasn't dumb.

She grabbed the necklace and ran out of the dorm. She found Jake at the coffee shop. There sitting in the corner was Haley.

Brooke sauntered over.

"What's this?" asked Brooke dangling the necklace in front of his face. She was yelling. Haley looked horrified. Lucas was confused.

"Brooke not here!" said Jake.

"Why you cheated on me with my best friend!" roared Brooke.

She walked over to Haley.

"Hear that Larry? No Lance? No whatever! Your girlfriend just slept with my boyfriend an hour ago! Can you believe it? Saint Haley and Boy next door Jake!" said Brooke

"B I am so sorry!" whispered Haley

"Don't call me that! Only my friends call me that!" said Brooke

Lucas was shocked. He couldn't speak. He was in love with Haley. He could feel his heart breaking.

At that moment Peyton and Nathan walked in and saw everything that was going down. Janice the campus gossip ran over.

"Did you here the breaking news?" she asked
"No" said Nathan.

"Haley and Jake slept together! Brooke found Haley's necklace and messed up sheets! This was only an hour ago! Brooke is livid. Larry or whatever his name is like mute" said Jaince before running of to spread the word.

Bevin another of Brooke's friend walked over.

"Brooke come on let's go!" said Bevin. Brooke gave glares to both Haley and Jake before following Bevin. She hugged both Nathan and Peyton before leaving. Haley ran out of the coffee shop sobbing. Peyton gave him an appoligetic smile. He nodded.

She ran after Haley. Nathan walked in to the coffee shop. He walked over to Jake.

"Great going dummy" said Nathan

"I know you don't need to tell me man" said Jake walking away looking horrible. Lucas sat at the table alone.

Lucas got up and walked over to the register and paid for the coffees. He was about to leave when he was stopped. He turned around.

"Uh I am sorry" said Nathan. "If you need anything I owe you for letting me use your car and the letter idea. She loved it"

"Okay" said Lucas.

Nathan nodded and walked off.

Lucas sighed. All the things left undiscovered, this had to be uncovered. Oh the day in the life of a One tree hill college student

So there you all go! I hope you like it! Enjoy! Thanks for the stellar reviews! You all are so amazingly nice and supportive! Hugs and tons of smiles! Keep on smiling. Have a wonderful day! Take great care!
