CH17:

The next morning Haley went to visit the Scott's. Of course Peyton went along with her.

"Nathan hey, is Lucas here?" Haley asked, giving him a quick kiss.

"Yeah, he's been in his room all day, avoiding me. Come in. Hi, Peyton, right?" he asked her, as they walked inside.

"Yeah, it's Peyton" she smiled at him.

"I'll be right back. Meanwhile, you guys talk. Get to know each other" Haley smiled, walking further in the hall way. Haley entered the room without knocking. Lucas was laying on his bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Lucas, can we talk?" Haley asked, standing above him. He didn't make eye contact.

"I don't talk to backstabbers" he bitterly said.

"Backstabber? I have not in anyway betrayed you. Lucas you're my best friend and I like your brother and he likes me. Why cant you accept that!?" Haley screamed. He stood from his bed, facing Haley.

"Because I care about you too much to get hurt. You don't know Nathan as I do. Yeah he'll be with you for weeks or even months, but once he's bored with you, you're out of the picture. He'll hurt you Hales, and I don't want to see you in pain" Lucas said. Haley soften her facial expression.

"Lucas, even if Nathan and I wont last, it's just a relationship; they're not perfect. You're right I don't know Nathan like you do, but for the moment we're together and we're finding things about each other. All I ask is for you to be ok with it. And if that day comes that Nathan might of hurt me, then it'll come and yes I'll be in pain, but it's my pain and if you want to, you can help me cope. I know you care about me, and I care for you too. I love you Lucas, your like a brother to me" Haley smiled. Lucas smiled, hugging her.

"I love you too Haley. And I'll always be there for you, know that. Even if my idiot of a brother might hurt you" he said, still hugging her.

"So, are you ok with us now?" Haley asked, releasing him.

"Yeah" he said.

"Good, I love you and all, but you're too stubborn. Now lets go, Peyton's here" Haley said, walking with him to the living room.

"Guess who made up" Haley said, linking arms with Lucas.

"That's great Laley's back together" Peyton said. Both Lucas and Haley looked at her strange.

"Lucas what do you have to say?" Haley said.

"Sorry Nathan I overreacted, and hi Peyton sorry if I appeared an ass yesterday" he said, sitting on the couch.

"Cool, now that everything's back to normal, Nathan and I have to go" Haley said, taking Nathan's hand. Peyton tugged her next to her.

"What am I suppose to do?" Peyton asked.

"Think about it as Leyton getting to know one another" Haley winked, walking out of the house with Nathan.

"What do you have planned?" Nathan asked her curiously.

"Nothing, I just think they should get to know one another" Haley said, as they entered his car.

Back with Lucas and Peyton; remained quiet on the couch.

"So Lucas, other than basketball what do you like to do?" Peyton asked.

"I like to read and write. I plan to write a book one day" he said.

"Really? I would of never guessed that. What type of book?" she asked.

"Yeah, I always loved English. I'm thinking like a romance novel, or a thriller" he answered.

"What about you? From what Haley tells me, you like to draw" he added.

"Since I was little I always loved to draw. I draw everything... Say Lucas do you have anything planned today?" she asked. He shook his head.

"I know I just met you, but I really wanted to paint my room, and I was going to ask Haley, but she's all busy with your brother. Do you mind if by anyway you can help me?" Peyton asked.

"No, I don't mind. Today all I was planning was to watch TV" he lightly laughed.

"Great, lets go to the paint store. Is Albert's paint place still here?" she asked, as they walked outside.

"Yeah, but it has changed" he said, driving away with her.

Two Hours Later…

"We're not even half way done yet" Peyton laughed.

"Because someone's picky selection in paint" Lucas hinted. Peyton splashed him with paint.

"They didn't have my favorite kind, so I had rethink the whole concept of my room. And I'm not picky" she stuck out her tongue.

"Ok sorry, don't have to get violent" he rubbed his hand against his shirt. Waiting a little more, he splashed her back with paint, all over her hair.

"Oh no you didn't. My hair" she said, feeling all the paint in her hair.

"Burgundy fits you" he grinned, staring at her. She glared at him, throwing the whole bucket of paint on him. He gasp for air, rubbing the paint off his face.

"This means war" he said, grabbing a bucket and paint brush, as Peyton did as well. The whole hour they played around, telling jokes and stories. Another two hours later and both of them were sitting on the floor, eating pizza. They had just barely finished painting the room.

"I like this song, who plays it?" he asked.

"R.E.M- Stand" she answered.

"I like them" he said. A couple minutes Haley walked in.

"What happened here. Did they paint explode or something?" she asked, placing her hand on her neck.

"No, we had a paint fight" Lucas said. Haley laughed, staring at Peyton's hair.

"I love your hair" Haley said. Peyton flashed a fake smile.

"It'll come off" she added.

"Well Peyton, cool hanging out with you. I have to go. Bye Hales" he said leaving the room.

"So how was it?" Haley asked, walking closer to Peyton.

"He's cool, but I know what your trying to do. It's to soon girl. I don't think we're couple material" Peyton said.

"Soon, just watch" Haley said, still covering her neck.

"Haley drop the hand" Peyton said. Haley smiled, revealing hickies on her neck.

"What the hell did he do to you? Chew you up?" she asked.

"No, we just got into it" Haley said, grabbing a slice.

"Wow girl, you like him don't you?" she asked.

"Yeah" Haley said. Peyton chuckled, eating more pizza.

Back In Florida…

How can he do this to me? Again. I don't deserve to be here. I need to be by my daughter. Matt will see that we're meant to be, Alyssa thought.

"Henry, will you come here for a moment?" Alyssa seductively asked, calling the night security man.

"What do you want, Alyssa?" he asked opening the door, at that moment that he did she grabbed his hands, leaning in to kiss him. He began to kiss her back, getting into the mood. Slowly as they walked back to her bed. Once she was on top of him, she grabbed the knife, under her pillow. She smiled at him, and quickly sliced his throat. He died, choking. She smirked, grabbing his keys, and being unwatched, escaped the mental intuition, to Henry's car. Next stop: Tree Hill.


Crazy aunt on the losse expect drama. And disclaimer, expect a character changing, and not for the well; though everyhting will make sense as the chapters proceed.
