Hours

Lucas hugged Peyton, "It's ok, and she'll get over this."

"No she won't."

"She is just hurt Peyton, she will get over this. She will once again be your friend and hopefully my girlfriend."

"Lucas, we used to talk for hours about everything and ever since you came into the picture, we spend more time fighting than having fun."

Lucas was stunned, "Wait, I know I've done a lot, but you two have to own your own problems."

"I know I'm sorry. It's probably the hormones."

"It's ok; I know this isn't easy for you."

"Thanks for being here for me."

"There is no other place I want to be Peyton."

"Except with Brooke."

"Brooke needs space and I'm going to give her that right now. I need to be here for you and our child."

"Thanks, but I'll be fine if you want to go after her."

"I'm tired of going after her. Right now, I think I need space from her."

"Are you saying you're done with Brooke?"

"I think I am," he said as he took Peyton's hand. "Ready to go in?"

"Yeah," she smiled for the first time in days. Was it actually possible that she and Lucas could work things out?

They walked into school together.

Off in the distance Brooke watches as Lucas takes Peyton's hand and walks into school with her. Tears run down her face as she sees Lucas move on without her.
