Lucas felt someone behind him and her turned around. He was hoping he would see Peyton behind him. He was beginning to worry about her and all her problems. He had always known Peyton had a lot of problems and that was one thing that Lucas loved about her how strong she was and how she let nothing rattle her. As he turned around unforunately he did not see Peyton he saw the one person he really didn't not want to see, Emma. He had no idea why Emma would even be out here this early and in this exact location. "What do you want Emma, now is not a good time"
Emma a little crushed that Lucas was not too happy to see her, "I saw you sitting here and figured that maybe you would want to talk or something." Lucas gave her a very loving look (sarcasm). "As much as I do want to talk to someone, you are the last person I want to go and talk to right now. Why don't you just leave me alone like I have been telling you over and over I am in love with my girlfriend and nothing is going to change that."
Lucas did not know that Peyton had seen him and leave and actually followed once she saw that Emma was going out as well. She had overheard the entire thing and knew that Lucas did love her and she knew that Emma might not give up but she was comfortable enough in the relationship now after tonight that she didn't need to worry about Lucas cheating on her. Peyton decided that now was a good time to make her presence known. When Lucas looked back from Emma he saw Peyton walking towards him. He saw that she had a smile on her face and now he was extremely confused. "Peyt what are you doing here?" Peyton gave Lucas a big hug and kiss. She looked over and saw that Emma was walking way. So one mission was accomplished. Now she only had to tell Lucas really what was bothering her.
Lucas saw that Peyton was excited and overjoyed and he was super confused. He could not figure out why she would be so happy. Lucas figured that if she saw him with Emma she was going to think something different that what was actually going on given their history. This was not the case. "Peyt as much as I love to see you happy, what is going on? You have got me so confused". Peyton started to laugh. "Ok laughing was not something I figured would happen" Lucas was getting even more frustrated and the brooding lines were beginning to show. Peyton could not help but laugh. "Lucas, you know sometimes I don't have the worlds highest self-esteem, especially compared to Brooke and Hales, so I was beginning to worry that you would get bored of me and maybe find someone else. I mean we have been together awhile, well on and off and have known each for what seems like forever and we arent exactly the most exciting and entertaining couple, plus you are after all a big basketball star here and I know that girls want you." As Lucas was listening to all of this, it was finally making sense. He engulfed Peyton into a big hug. He knew that she had been worried for awhile and her sharing all this information and emotion was a big deal for her, after all the Peyton he knew in high school would never have shared any of this. She would have kept it bottled up. "Peyton there is nothing to worry about at all, I don't want anyone else, I have never wanted anyone else, all I want is u, now and forever." Lucas didn't realize it but at the time it sounded like a proposal. Peyton picked up on it slightly but decided not to mention anything about it. Lucas and Peyton sat there for a little while longer snuggled against each other since the cold was starting to come in. Finally Lucas looked over at Peyton and saw her eyes begin to get droopy from being tired, he decided it was a good time to go back. He stood up "hop on, I will give you a piggy back ride to the suite, that way you wont have to walk". Usually Peyton loved those rides and she did again tonight she was just too tired to say anything, the weight of the emotional talk and everything building up had made her super tired.
Peyton and Lucas finally made it back to the suite to find all the lights on and Nathan, Haley, Jake, and Brooke up and waiting for them. They were taken aback, they figured that since they were so tired everyone else would be in bed, considering they all had early morning classes. Haley decided to be the first one to speak up, "Does anyone want to explain what happened tonight and why a certain too people are coming home so late" She looked straight at Lucas and Peyton. Peyton was exhausted but knew that tonight was going to be long, she was going to have to answer all of Brooke and Haley's questions. Lucas knew this was coming, even though he also knew the guys were going to want to get some answers as well, but he figured with early classes and practice everyone needed sleep, plus Peyton looked like she was going to fall asleep standing up right there in the living room. "How about we all get some sleep, you four can think about your questions, and I am sure tomorrow at the crack of dawn you can get them all answered". Everyone thought about this for a minute as Lucas and Peyton were walking to their room. Finally they got inside and figured all was good and they would be grilled tomorrow. Peyton climbed into bed looking forward to falling asleep in Lucas's arms when she heard a knock on the door. Slowly the door opened and Haley peaked her head inside. "Hey I just wanted to say goodnight, I know Luke is in the bathroom, but I am happy you two worked everything out, you are always much happier when you are with him." Peyton got a big smile on her face "Thanks Hales, I am happy with him, does this mean no questions tomorrow morning?" Haley started laughing "Are you kidding me, the minute the three of us girls are together in our room there are going to be tons of questions, prepare yourself Brooke has already started talking a mile a minute, Jake is trying to calm her down, I am sure she is writing a list of questions in her head right now". Peyton could not help by smile, that was her best friend that she knew and loved. Haley saw that Lucas was coming out of the bathroom and walking towards the room. "Well that is my cue to leave, I see Luke coming but have a good night, sweet dreams." As Lucas walked in he said goodnight to Haley. As much as he loved his best friend he really wanted to be alone with his girlfriend. He didn't care that in just a few hours he had to be up super early for basketball practice. He loved the time he spent alone with Peyton, whether it be just snuggling in bed together, her drawing while he read, the two of them talking, them having sex, anything he loved spending time with her. As he crawled into bed he felt her snuggled up against him. "Hmmm I love this feeling" Lucas said while pulling her in close. Peyton started to soon fall asleep while Lucas starred off into space for awhile just thinking. He had so much on his mind he didn't know where to begin.
As Lucas was pondering Brooke was now wide awake and couldn't go back to bed, she was took excited. Poor Jake was exhausted from early morning practices, class, and Jenny. Thank god Jenny had slept through all the excitement earlier, he did not want to have to deal with an overzealous Brooke tomorrow as well as a cranky Jenny. "Brooke please lets get some sleep" Jake begged. He knew there was no point she had already started talking a mile a minute and planning things. Brooke talking to no one, "I cant believe it, they are together maybe this is finally it, I think Lucas is going to propose, oh my god what would we wear, when would it happen, everything is going to be so good, yay". Jake couldn't help but laugh, "Babe they just worked out some problems Lucas isnt going to propose just cause of that, I think you have awhile before you get to plan a wedding, or anything else for that matter." Brooke wouldn't believe it, "Nope the two of them are going to get engaged soon I can feel it, it is in my bones and I am never wrong about anything like that." All Jake could do was nod his head and soon he fell asleep, worried that Brooke wouldn't be sleeping he awoke a couple hours later to find her completely passed out with a big smile on her face. He knew that when her best friend was happy Brooke was always happy, he loved that about her, the fact that the smallest things to anyone else were super important to her and always made her happy. With all the talk of marriage he began to think, afterall Jenny was getting older and him and Brooke had been together for awhile, who knew things were working out well the way they were right now
