The Past Comes Back

Peyton had shut her door before they had both layed down on the bed, she smiled as their eyes made contact, it was as if their eyes had locked together, their eyecontact said so many things that both of them already knew, but meant so much. Peyton knew she needed Lucas, but hated admitting it. She leaned down kissing his lips softly. Lucas smiled as Peyton kissed him, he slowly started moving his hands up her back. Peyton wrapped her arms around Lucas as she rolled off of him, pulling Lucas ontop of her, she smiled.

"Hi." She said laying under him

"Hi." Lucas said in a low whisper.

She slowly began to remove his shirt, as he layed ontop of her, he just starred into her eyes, they were beautiful, he couldn't get past her natural beauty, she didn't have to wear makeup to be pretty, she was naturally beautiful, to him, Peyton looked like an Angel. Lucas cupped his hand around her face and smiled. He was at a loss for words. Although Peyton wasn't. "I need you in my life Lucas, I don't know what I would have done without you this summer:" Peyton told him as she pulled him closer to her, she began to move her hands gently down his back, slowly removing his shirt, she smiled. Lucas smirked a bit

He knocked, but no answer, he sighed and rolled his eyes, this wasn't what he expected, he expected her to be there when he came back. He sighed and figured she might be upstairs with her music going loud like she often did when she was upset about something, he slowly opened the door and walked in. As he walked up the stairs, he heard no music, that was odd, but her car was outside, he was pretty sure that she was home. He walked up the stairs reaching Peyton's room, he saw that the door was shut, Jake put his hand on the knob slowly turning it.

Peyton smiled at Lucas as he layed ontop of her without a shirt, Lucas slowly began to remove Peyton's shirt also, Peyton smiled. "This is nice" She told him as he finished taking off the top she had worn. Lucas leaned in closer beginning to kiss her, he slowly moved down her, kissing her body all over, caressing her skin with his hands, she took a deep breath. Lucas reached Peyton's pants line, he looked up and her and smiled as he began to unbutton her pants until they heard the door open, both of them looked over to see who or what it was. Peyton was shocked, she saw the look on his face in return, he looked hurt and shocked at the same time. Peyton pushed Lucas off of her as she grabbed her shirt and quickly put it on. "Jake!" She said as he began to turn and leave. He turned to her with a look of pain writen all over his face.

"What!" He asked as she grabbed his arm.

"I'm sorry you saw that" Peyton told him as a tear ran down her eye.

"Peyton, you moved on." He told her as tears began to fall from his eyes too.

"I..I don't know what to say." She told him as she turned away.

"Do you still love me?" He asked as he grabbed her arm

"Jake, how can you ask that?" Peyton asked in question

"Because..I want to know." He told her as he pulled her closer to him.

"Yes, Jake, I will always love you." She said to him as she turned away once more.

"I still love you too." He told her as he pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry." She said as she hugged him back.

"I have to go Peyton." He said as he pulled away from the hug and walked down the stairs.

All Peyton could do was stand there in shock as she watched him leave her life one more time. She didn't know if she could deal with this, she felt weak and gulity for moving on, it was ironic, she had talked to Lucas about Jake and Brooke earlier that day too, she slowly walked back into her room seeing Lucas sitting on her bed with a hurt look on his face also. "Lucas.." Peyton said to him as she walked over to him and sat on the bed. Just by the look on his face she could tell he was upset how she pushed him off of her like that.

"Lucas, I'm sorry. I was in shock." She said as she moved a bit closer to him.

"Peyton, can we not do this right now?" He asked feeling betrayed and hurt.

"Sure." She told him as she moved in closer to him. "Hold me though, Lucas." She said as he wrapped his arms around her and held her.
