CHAPTER 5

A/N: i think this is a boring chapter, but let me know.

JAKE'S POV:

Jake watched Peyton from across the quad. She was so beautiful with her unruly curly blond hair and those beautiful green eyes. He really missed her. The idea that they were broken up still hadn't settled in fully. Every morning he woke up wanting to phone her, wanting to tell her that he had dreamt about her the previous night. To tell her that he loves her. But sadly it was all wishful thinking on his part. They had been broken up a month now. Maybe more, he wasn't sure, but he would never forget the night that she told him that she loved him.

-- FLASHBACK--

It was a beautiful Saturday evening, he was about to drop Peyton off at her house when she suprised him by asking him if they could maybe go to the graveyard. He, at first, looked at her as if she were crazy. Why would anybody want to go to the graveyard this time of night? But because he wanted to spend more time with her and because he was curious about why she would want to go, he accepted and drove them to the graveyard.
Peyton got out first and he followed her to where she was going. She stopped infront of three gravestones. "Hey mom, dad, mother", she said. Jake was completley confused. Peyton sat on the grass and motioned for him to sit down next to her.
"Bet you didn't know that i was adopted." Peyton said. As he sat down. He shook his head.

"This is my mom, Anna Saywer. My dad, Larry Saywer and my real mother Elizabeth Harp or Ellie. That's where i got my second name. Peyton Elizabeth Saywer. My mom and dad died when i was thirteen years old. They were coming to pick me up from a sleepover. As they were crossing a green light a drunk driver crashed into them. The paramedic's said that dad died on the scene, but mom was able to tell the nurse at the hospital about Ellie, before she too died.

Jake looked at Peyton. She was crying silently. He put his arm around her and held her close. He didn't want to push her in telling him about Ellie, but he was curious. "And Ellie?", he asked silently.

"So Ellie came into my life two years later. At first i didn't wan't to know her. What tipe of mother abandoned her daughter? As months passed Ellie showed that she wasn't leaving soon, so i let her in. She told me why she had given me up, and i was glad that she did. She was a messed up teenager. Doing drugs, smoking and partying the whole time. Ellie was great. She loved music just as much as i did. She was good at drawing, like me. She even moved into our house. Ellie asked me the one night after cheerleading, why i did it if i didn't like it. And my awnser was, that's what my mom did. I had to have something in me that she loved, that se carried over to me.

So then another two years later, when i was seventeen, Ellie found out that she had breast cancer. By that time it was too late to operate. Ellie moved back to her house and died there, all alone... ... Before she left she gave me this. Peyton showed Jake a bracelet. It had a cancer sighn on it as well as Peyton's name ingraved in a little heart.

Jake watched her. It was hard to see her in so much pain, but all he could do was hope to comfort her. They sat there a while, both not saying anything. Then suddenly Peyton looked up at him. "Jake, I love you, I always will." He smiled down at her. "I love you too, Peyton." And after saying that he kissed her.

-- END --

It all seemed like a dream. Peyton said that she would always love him, so why were they broken up? He would also never forget the night she had broken up with him either. She had hurt him so badly

--FLASHBACK--

After one of their date nights, Peyton asked him if he would like to come in as usual. By that time he was already so inlove with her. He was sitting on her bed and she was drawing. He loved her draw, all the concentration on her face. Then she suddenly stopped. "Jake...", she said in a tone of voice he didn't like. "Peyton?", he asked. "Jake, you know i care about you right?", she continued. Jake nodded. "Well this isn't working for me anymore, we aren't working anymore."

He was confused, he thought that she loved him. He couldn't say anything. He was too shocked. His heart was breaking into pieces. His silence only prompted her to talk more. "I'm really sorry Jake. I do love you. You were my first real love." Jake stood up not wanting to hear anything more. "I've got to go." He said and walked out of the room like a zomby. Peyton could see that she hurt him really badly. She was sad that this had happened.

--END--

He was really hurt by her decision. The wound was still open, but he had forgiven her. He was not giving up hope that some day they would be together again, forever and always. Jake was brought out of his thoughts by somebody sitting down next to him. It was Lucas and Nathan. He had wanted to talk to Lucas since he found out about Lucas's and Peyton's date that night. Lucas and Nathan were the only ones that still knew that he loved Peyton. He couldn't just believe that Lucas would just date Peyton without asking if it were okay or purposefully hurt him. Lucas just was not that tipe of person. Lucas was a good friend, and in a crisis you did not need to worry. Him and Nathan made a great team.

"So, i heard you were going on a date with Peyton tonight." Jake said light heartedly. Nathan looked up from were he was copying work. Please don't let me hear that dreadful word yes, Jake thought to himself. Lucas looked at him and laughed. "No, man. She's just thanking me for helping her in her room. With the shelves and all. Where did you hear that?" Lucas asked. Nathan looked back down at the books infront of him. "Around", he said absent mindedly. Lucas would never betray a friend.Jake looked at Peyton once more and this time she was also looking at him. A chill ran down his spine, when she smiled and waved. He did the same. She then turned around back to her friends. Jake got ino a conversation with Nathan and Lucas about the basketball season ahead.
Lucas had seen the look between the two. He just hoped Peyton comes back to Jake soon.

THAT AFTERNOON:

PEYTON'S POV:

As soonas the bell rang, signaling that school was over, she said goodbye to Haley and her new friend Brooke and rushed to her car. As she drove herself home, she thought about the day's events. The more time she spent with Brooke, the more she liked her. She was a bubbly person with a great personality, and she didn't feel threatend by Brooke at all. They got along really well. When Peyton arrived at home, she went straight to her room to put down her school bag. Then she went to the kitchen and started dinner.

2 Hours later she was finished with dinner and setting the table. She wanted everything to be perfect. Nothing was out of place. She looked at the clock. O My Goodness!! Lucas will be here any minute. I have to get ready. Peyton put the food in the oven and ran upstairs to take a short shower. 10 minutes and she was done, being careful not to wet her hair. Peyton got dressed. She put on a Dark brown dress with knee high boots. She then applied some make up and put on lip gloss. There was a funny smell in the air, but she dismissed it.

Peyton heard the front door open and quickly looks in the mirror once more. As she walks down the stairs, smell in the air gets worse, as if something is burning. There's also a little bit of smoke. "Lucas? Where are you?" She shouts. "In the kitchen." he screams back. She walks to the kitchen and sees him standing there in his knee shorts and a t-shirt. and in his hand is the food that she made. "O no!! What happened to it? I put the stove off. What are we going to eat now??" Lucas shakes his head. "Peyton, the stove was on. You must have forgotten to put it off, and it's okay. You don't have to. I apreciate the gesture." Lucas said as he put down the burnt meal. "I'm going to go okay." He said.

He has to stay, Peyton thinks. "Lucas, why don't we order in. I'll pay. That's how i want to say thank you. Please." Lucas looked at her and nodded. They ordered pizza and talked and drank wine. They talked about school and friends and music and Nathan and Haley's relationship. When Lucas tried to talk to her about her and Jake she quickly brushed it off. Tonight was about her and Lucas and not Jake.

LUCAS'S POV:

Lucas enjoyed spending time with his friend. He constantly teased Peyton about the dinner she burnt. He had gotten a fright when he got in her house and saw the smoke. Peyton looked pretty, but he couln't help wonder what Brooke was doing that evening. She had been on his mind constantly all day long. He found that he couldn't concentrate in math. But he pushed that to the back of his mind. He'd think about that later. He was lightheaded from all the wine.

Lucas looked at Peyton and saw her smirking. She had been smiling like that through out the dinner. "What?" he asked. "Nothing." Peyton said covering up her smile with her had. "Peyton" He said again. "Well you've had ice cream on your face throughout the dessert." She said. "Where?" he asked. Peyton moved closer to him with a cloth."Close your eyes... right..." And then her lips were on his. Lucas was caught by suprise, he tried pushing her away but she had him in a death grip.

The door opened and closed. But they didn't hear it. "Peyton" somebody said as they walked into the living room. Lucas finally was able to push Peyton away. Both turned around. Lucas quickly stood up and stammered...

There was Brooke and Jake standing...
