Thanks for the feedback, and constructive criticism is always welcome. "That's ENOUGH!" (Gohan v.)

Peyton turned around. Luke saw a fire in her eyes well up with tears, and wondered why. Peyton said nothing. She got into her car, slammed the door, put the key

into the ignition and drove off. Lucas put his headphone back in his ear, and kept walking. He stopped in front of a big house. He shouldn't have

stopped, but for some reason he did. Nathan looked out of his window. He couldn't wait to leave Tree Hill. To him, his mom never did enough, and his dad, like any

fire breathing dragon, breathed down his neck too much. He wished he could make it all go away, all the pain and all the stress…. It was almost like looking into a

mirror expression wise. He saw Luke. He looked down on him, with a smug smile.

Luke knew who Nathan was. He was his brother. It hurt to see that look of superiority on Nathan's face. It hurt, but even more Luke had heard rumors around school

of Dan's abuse of Nate. He returned Nate's smug look with a look of sympathy. Nathan couldn't take it. He opened his window.

"Hey loser," he taunted, sticking his head out. "Don't you have an orphanage to go to?"

Luke's anger showed for a moment, as he looked down, his vulnerability causing him pain, instead of what he secretly longed for, a connection to the brother he

never knew. Nate smirked at the fact that he was able to push Luke's buttons, but when Luke lifted his head, Nate's smirk vanished. Luke knew what Nate hid only to

himself. Luke gave Nate the boy scouts salute, letting Nate know his secret was safe. Luke turned around, dribbled his basketball, and kept walking.

"What was that about?" Nate nearly jumped out of his skin.

"Nothing." Nate slammed the window shut.

Dan nodded, but he knew better.

"Go to bed." He growled, walking away, resenting that every time he saw something he hated in Nate, it was something he denied was in himself.

Nate sat down on the bed, and thought about how weird that was. A small part of him was pleased to see his brother, and yet he had the strong urge to push him

away at the same time.
