Peyton sat on her bed the next morning, contemplating the decision that she had to make. Going with Nathan sounded so appealing to her right now. There was nothing in Tree Hill for her at this moment. No one would even really notice if she was gone… well maybe Lucas, but she knew that he would be spending as much time as he could with Haley so they could make up for the time that was lost. There was no real reason that she couldn't go. Well, of course except the one that she was afraid of…. Nathan.

When she thought of spending a whole summer with Nathan…. alone, she got excited, and that was what scared her. Thinking of that time in his room, and all of the other times that she remembered she had spent with him, had gotten her thinking a lot of their relationship now. They had been spending a lot of time together, and feelings were starting to come back, she knew that he felt the same way. The whole time that Jake was in jail and she knew that what she was feeling for Nathan was wrong, she felt like the worst girlfriend. But Jake was gone and the chance to be with Nathan the whole summer was here………

Lucas opened his eyes as the morning sunlight shone through his window. He looked down at Haley who was still lying in his arms. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful she looked as the sunrays shone against her long brown hair. He ran his hand across the soft skin of her arm; he moved it up and brushed away a piece of hair that had fallen in her face. Her eyes slowly opened and she started to smile.

"Morning, Luke" she said quietly.

"Morning, Hales… have a good night sleep?" He asked, but then became aware that he was still holding her against him, but he didn't do anything to stop it.

"Yes… the best one in awhile" She said smiling, "Thanks for dealing with me last night Luke."

He laughed, "Yea well it's a hard job, dealing with you, but I figured that somebody had to do it." He responded jokingly.

"Excuse me!" She pushed him away and got out of bed, much to his disappointment, " That was very rude." He lay there laughing at her.

"You are such a dork."

"Yea, the dork that you are going to take around town today, because I feel like I haven't been here in forever." He got out of bed and started to make it, as she leaned over and started to help him on the other side.

"Ok, where to first?" He smiled at her. He always smiled when it came to Haley. And he was just starting to realize that maybe when he smiled because of her, it wasn't just because they were best friends; it was because he felt more towards her.

Sorry so short……….what do u think I should do next?
