No Happy Ending or Maybe So

Ch 10- The Truth Will Set You Free

Peyton took a deep breath. She knew Lucas would be there any minute, and she was ready to tell him the truth. She knew that Brooke had told him, but she wanted to tell him everything. She wanted him to know why she did it, and how she could do something like that to him. She was nervous, but a part of her knew that Lucas would forgive her eventually because that's just who he was.

The door opened and Peyton prepared herself. "Hey there's my patient" Ethan said cheerfully.

"Oh hi" Peyton said relieved in a way.

"Nice to see you too Peyton" Ethan said "How are you feeling?"

"Better I guess. Can I go home?"

Ethan shook his head "Not today but maybe tomorrow we'll just have to see. I've got a few surgeries to do today, but I'll be back later tonight since you are of course my favorite patient"

"Ok" Ethan walked out as Lucas walked in.

"Hey" Lucas said. "You look better"

"Yeah" Peyton closed her eyes and then opened them again "I'm surprised you haven't been by. I figured you would want to see me."

Lucas was a little confused "I did want to see you Peyton, but I thought it would be better if I waited until you were feeling better"

"I am feeling better now, and I think we should definitely talk about things."

"What things?" Lucas had no idea what she was talking about.

Peyton took a deep breath and sighed "You know what Brooke told you"

"What did Brooke tell me?"

"Lucas don't play games with me. I know that you know the truth now. I expect you to be mad at me. I have lied to you for way too long"

Lucas shook his head "Peyton I have no idea what you are talking about"

"Don't you at least want to know why I kept it from you? Don't you want to be apart of her life?" Peyton questioned.

Lucas was still confused "Whose life Peyton?"

"Your daughter's life" She finally said. Peyton had tears in her eyes as she said the words. Lucas' went into shock. Peyton realized that he didn't know. He had no idea that Julie was his. "Luke, I thought Brooke told you"

"Julie's mine?" Lucas felt like he had been hit with a ton of bricks.

"Yes, you're the reason she's alive. She has a rare blood type. You were her donor" Peyton told him trying to control her tears.

Lucas shook his head "You knew all a long she was mine, and you didn't tell me"

"You walked out on me Lucas."

"You could have called me and told me the truth. I would have come back."

Peyton was trying to stay calm "I didn't want you to come back out of obligation Lucas. I wanted you to come back because you loved me, and you couldn't live without me, but you never did."

"I called you a year later"

"Yeah, Lucas you called me a year later. You should have never left"

"And you should have said yes" Lucas fought back

"I never said no" Peyton argued back

"I don't care Peyton. You should have told me you were pregnant. I know that I wasn't the best boyfriend I could have been, but you should have told me that I had a child. That is my right as a father." He yelled back. He was so angry and hurt by her lies. "You turned me into Dan"

"No I didn't. You didn't abandon your child because you didn't know about her, you abandoned me"

"Don't play the victim here Peyton. I'm not going to let you make me feel guilty. I have felt that way since the moment you got here, but not anymore. Did Julian know the truth?"

"I don't want to talk about Julian"

"I don't care what you want. Give me some damn answers Peyton I deserve that much" He was screaming at her. He knew that he should be calmer considering that she was under a lot of stress, but he was too upset to care at the moment.

"Yea he knew that you were the father. He helped me get over you."

"I can't believe you did this to me. I asked you if she was mine, and you bit my head off and made me feel like shit for accusing you of lying to me for four years. How dare you?" He hit his hand up against the wall making a loud noise.

Peyton was worried "Lucas"

A nurse came into the room "I'm sorry sir, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave if you can't be a little quieter"

Lucas looked at Peyton "Its okay I'll leave. I can't be in this room any longer." He walked out of the room.

"Lucas" She cried for him, but he was too far gone. She had broken his heart like he had broken hers. She had no idea what he was going to do about knowing the truth. She was scared that he was going to run.

……………………………………….

Lucas finally got to his apartment. He wrapped his hand with some ice because it was pretty bad bruised. Then He looked around at what his life had become. He knew that things could have been so different for him. His life was a mess and had been for years. He was so angry at Peyton for lying to him, but at the same time he knew that he had a daughter he had to be there for. He sat down on his couch and cried. He then asked his Uncle Keith for help because he had no idea what he should do next.
