v.) God's love truly is deeper than the ocean.

"You like her, don't you?"

Peyton watched Nathan's face carefully.

"Someone's jealous of a tutor session."

"She blushed when I told her I was your girlfriend. She doesn't know you the way I do."

"Yet, I'm with you."

Peyton rolled her eyes. He was doing it again, evading. What was he hiding? She would dig some more while they sat in her car under the night sky.

"Who is she, Nate?"

"Other than my tutor, she's nobody."

"Really?"

"Why does that bother you so much?"

"It bothers me Nathan, because, you are lying to me."

"Well, so much for trust."

"You're lying, again."

Nate frowned and pulled his arm from around her.

"Thanks for ruining another date night, Peyt." he retorted, condescendingly.

"It's everybody else's fault as usual, like your brother existing."

She knew it was a low blow when she said it. Nathan shifted uncomfortably. He looked at Peyton. She had his full attention now.

"Why is he such a threat to you?"

"He wants to be me. He wants to take my spot."

"He can't take what you don't give him."

"Take your own advice."

"Stop believing your lies, and I will."

"You believe my lies, otherwise why are you still with me?"

"I feel sorry for you."

"Don't. I'm captain of the Tree Hill Ravens, and the top dog."

"Yeah, the top dog with so much insecurity."

"'They're not you.' Now, who's insecure?"

"You're using her!"

"What?"

"She's your brother's best friend. I've seen them together! You're using her to get back at him? Who are you?"

"I'm your boyfriend, the one you tear down, yet stay with because you feel sorry for him. Remember?"

"Not anymore, Nathan."

"Peyt-"He touched her arm.

"Don't touch me!" She turned the key in the ignition and her car roared to life.

You won't stop me, Nate thought. This is my team, my town!

He was scaring himself. He was starting to sound like his dad. He was starting to sound like the person he hated most, Dan.
