Two days Later:

Lucas arrived in his office pretty upset, he went to the hotel where Peyton stayed but the reception told him that she checked out. She ran away again!! Thought Lucas angry.

Nathan and Haley were there. Nathan had his hand tenderly rubbing Haley's belly.

"Hey guys." Said Lucas trying to smile.

"Hey Bro." Said Nathan smiling but making signed with his eyes for Lucas to look at Haley.

Haley sent a dark look to Lucas before leaving the office.

Lucas frowned and looked at Nathan. "What is going on with her?" Asked Lucas confused.

"Peyton." Said Nathan shrugging . He warned Haley that he didn't want to meddle in the all Lucas/ Peyton crisis. Nathan even said that he would stand with his brother whatever happen.

"Oh…" Said Lucas who didn't expect that. "I'll be back in 10 minutes I want to have a word with Hales before the classes begins."

"Don't upset her Luke…" Said Nathan somehow smiling "She is pregnant." He still had trouble to believe it himself.

"Okay no…." Lucas stopped and looked at Nathan who was now smiling brightly. "Pregnant?!" Said Lucas confused but happy. "That's the best news ever!!"

Lucas hugged his brother. "I'll need all the details later" Said Lucas running behind Haley in the corridor.

He caught her just before she walked in the teachers' lounge.

"Talk to me Hales". Said Lucas nicely taking her hand.

"I don't think you want to Luke." Said Haley harshly looking at him with anger. "You're my best friend and I'll love you forever" she said turning around to face him "but…I don't see my dear Luke in front of me anymore. I….I" she shook her head. "Just drop it!" She added.

"I won't" said Lucas driving her to an empty class room. "We still have about 20 minutes before the first class."

"I don't need that much time" said Haley sitting on the desk. "Peyton came and she was broken Luke. Apparently you cheated on her with her best friend…."

Lucas was about to answer but Haley stopped him with a look. "Don't you dare open your pie hole Lucas Eugene Scott!! I can't believe what you did!! Why on earth did you do that?!" Asked Haley her arms crossed on her chest.

She looked at Lucas with impatience. Lucas didn't reply.

"Well…?!" Asked Haley arcing her eyebrows.

"Ohhh I can talk now?" Asked Lucas who was somehow amused by Haley motherly tone.

"Don't play the smart ass!!" Said Haley angry.

"I honestly don't know why I did it." Said Lucas sincerely. "I loved her I…I really did and still do." He added the voice full of emotion.

"I….Why did you hurt her then?" Asked Haley nicer. She couldn't stay upset with Lucas. He was the one there for her in the past.

"I don't know. I'm maybe just a masochist who like to destroy his happiness... Who knows" He said desperately really believing that. "I wanted to start on a clear slate and I felt bad for her. She lived with so much guilt when she didn't deserve it at all. I wanted her to understand that she was not the one to blame for our relation screw up because I screwed it up well before she did." Added Lucas sincerely.

Haley sighed. "I don't know what to say." Lucas tried to make amend she thought sadly.

"There is nothing to say." Said Lucas sadly. "I wanted to get things right with her but…but she left". He added shaking his head. "I think she left town again and for good this time."

Haley looked at him strangely. "You only want to make thing right?! Sure?" She asked suspiciously.

"Of course! I want to live with Peyton. I know she is the one for me…I guess I always knew but maybe…maybe somewhere deep inside I thought I didn't deserve to be happy. " Said Lucas like if he was realizing it just now.

Haley looked at Lucas and gently paddle his back. "She is at my flat Luke." She said nicely. "If you want to get things right it's the place to start."

"I…Thank you" said Lucas hugging Haley. "Tell Nathan I'll be back by practice. I'm gonna set things right and…and by the way congratulation for the baby. It's the best news ever."

He ran outside, he needed to see Peyton.

"Thank you" Haley whispered once Lucas left. I hope God let me have this baby she added to herself putting her two hands on her belly.

-------------------------------Naley's Flat----------------------------

Peyton was washing up the dishes, she felt bad for staying with Haley and Nathan but they made her feel so welcome.

Nathan even joked with her saying that he was happy that Jamie was having such a great relationship with her because it was like having a free nanny at home.

Haley was happy to have her friend around too. She was able to reconstruct the relationship she had with Peyton in the past.

Peyton was happy to be able to help them by taking to her charge the housework. She wanted Haley to be as calm as possible through her pregnancy.

She looked the «To do list » on fridge.

Maybe I can go and pick up the dry cleaning. Thought Peyton taking her car keys.

She opened the door to find Lucas standing in front of it. She closed it again and stood against it. "You're kidding right?" She said looking at the ceiling pretending to talk to god.

She took a deep breath and opened the door again.

"Nobody is there". She said coldly not even looking at Lucas.

Lucas stood in front of her to block her the way. "I want to talk to you." He said putting his hands on her shoulders.

"Of course you did!" Said Peyton sarcastically shrugging to remove Lucas's hands. "Well... I don't have anything to say to you." She added trying to pass by him, she didn't know how long she could hide her pain and anger.

"I…I just have something to tell you Peyton." Said Lucas sadly. "You don't need to talk you just need to listen."

"I don't owe you anything." Said Peyton feeling she was giving up.

"I know you don't but I beg you. I just ask you 5 minutes." Added Lucas on a begging tone.

Peyton sighed and looked at him.

"I'm …I'm really sorry Peyton. What I did is just unforgivable but I didn't intend to hurt you." Said lucas with sad eyes.

Peyton had a sarcastic laugh.

"I know" said Lucas shaking his head. "It's a pretty lame excuse… It's not even an excuse. I don't know what to say I…I love you Peyton." Finally said Lucas with the voice broken by emotion.

"Yeah!! Oh I get it!! You have sex with my sluty best friend because…you love me!!" Said Peyton sarcastically. "Oh my gosh!! It's so clear now." She said finally passing by him and going down the stairs. "I don't want to listen to you anymore." She added with tears filling up her eyes but Lucas couldn't see them.

"Please one more minute." Shouted Lucas behind her. "I want you to move back in the house with me".

"What?!" Said Peyton finally stopping and turning around. "I….Please tell me I didn't hear right?! "

"Listen Nathan and Haley need some space." Said Lucas not really knowing where he was going with that. "Just move in like a roommate and let rediscover who we are. Maybe we can be friend again." He added unsure of himself.

"I… Screw you Lucas." She said shaking her head. "Why should I even consider sharing something with a scumbag like you?!" She asked with fury.

"Because of that!" Said Lucas closing the space between them and taking her lips into a passionate kiss.

He sadly broke the kiss, they were both out of breath.

"You are angry but you still love me Peyton at least a part of you still do." Said Lucas rubbing her cheek. "Please just try to know me again. Let's be friend."

Peyton frowned. "How could you do that?!" She asked in a whisper, her voice was broken with emotion looking down. "You're using my weakness."

She looked up and slapped him. "Go to Hell!" She shouted umpping in her car and driving away

-------------------------------------------

Lucas came home at the end of the day and just fall on the sofa. He was depressed. He really thought that speaking to Peyton would help him at least to create some cordial relations.

His phone started to ring he looked at the caller ID it said Brooke.

"Hey girl." Said Lucas trying to sound cheery.

"I guess you didn't get much more luck with Peyton then I did huh?" Asked Brooke as if she could read in Lucas.

"Well... It's life". He added shrugging looking at a picture of the three of them on the wall. It was so simple before he thought.

"It's sucked to love Lucas Scott back in High School and it's still does." Said Brooke out loud.

"Excuse me?!" Lucas frowned.

"I… Never mind." Said Brooke embarrassed. "I wanted to know if you wanted to have dinner tonight." She asked shyly.

Lucas didn't reply.

"You know that I love you Luke and a part of me will always do but I can deal with that." Said Brooke more hoping than saying. "We did something stupid two years ago but I don't see why we can't be friend again." She added sincerely. "We were good at that weren't we?"

"I….You're right." Said Lucas somehow happy to have Brooke back. "I…"

Someone knocked at the door.

Lucas stood up and walked to the door. "Not tonight thought I really tired." He said sincerely.

"Okay just give me a call when you want to." Said Brooke trying to hide her disappointment.

Lucas opened the door to find Peyton standing in front of it.

"Let me call you back" he said hanging up.

Lucas looked at Peyton in disbelieve. It's just a dream.

"Okay Scott! I'll stay here till my friend Haley give birth to her baby. I left her down once and I won't do it again!" She said on a sure tone even if she was shaking inside. "Maybe we can be friend again but nothing more!"

Why did I listen to Haley?! I'm so stupid!! Thought Peyton walking in.

"Okay." Said Lucas letting her in. I just have a few month to convince her. He thought with the hope renewed.
