"No Nathan it is. Lucas is my best friend and he doesn't even trust me." She let her head hang low.

"Come on Jamie, you know we all care about you and we all know you've changed." She shook her head. He sat her up right and made her face him. "I care about you." He started leaning in and…

…Hugged her. (Did you really think I would do that to Haley?) "You just have to give them time. When I decided to stop being an asshole it took everyone a while to realize that I was different but they accepted me soon enough. Just give them time Jamie, I promise that if you show them you've changed they'll start trusting you again."

"But they should trust me either way."

"Just give them time, ok?" she nodded. "You know Nate, I was wrong about you. I'm sorry for being so bitchy at first I just had my guard up."

"Well I'm glad you let it down for me." She smiled.

"Want to watch a movie or something?"

"Sure."

"Be right back." She ran upstairs and came back down quick.

"What did you get?"

"The Goonies."

"Sweet, I love that movie."

"Alright." They sat down and Jamie popped it into the DVD player.

It was one-thirty when Peyton's front door opened. Peyton, Lucas and Haley walked in and walked into the living room to find Jamie and Nathan sleeping.

"Awe they look so cute," Peyton said.

"Yea, I'm so glad they are getting along now," Haley said. She walked over to them and gently shook Nathan. He opened his eyes and looked down at Jamie. He put his finger over his mouth and picked her up. He walked her up to her room and laid her down. He silently closed the door and walked back downstairs.

"Why was she so upset?" Haley asked.

"Well she thinks you all don't believe she has changed. You guys need to trust her, she has changed for the better and you guys not supporting her really hurts. The only reason she changed was to make you guys proud, she did it all for you guys. Lucas her not having your support is the worst for her. Do you have any idea how much she loves you? She'd do anything for you and I strongly suggest that you talk to her tomorrow." Lucas nodded.

"Alright well I'm tired so I am officially kicking you guys out of my house, goodnight," Peyton said.

"Goodnight." They all walked out of the house and went home.

The following morning Jamie woke up and headed straight into the shower. It was Friday and she was looking forward to that nights activities. Peyto0 was waiting downstairs and they left. When they got to school they met up with Haley and Nathan and walked in together.

"Ok so I'll see you guys later," Peyton said walking down to her class.

"Ok, bye girls," Nathan said, giving Jamie a kiss on the cheek and kissing Haley.

"Ok, I'm right here," Jamie said.

"Bye." She and Haley walked into class and took the same seats they had the day before.

"Hey Jamie," Brooke said as she passed by Jamie's desk.

"Hey." Lucas walked in soon after and took the seat next to Jamie.

"Jamie I need to talk to you," he said.

"Ok, after class." He nodded and Mr. Salazar started class.

"Haley can I ask you something?" Brooke whispered to Haley.

"What?"

"Is there something going on between your sister and Lucas."

"I don't think so, why?"

"I don't know, it looks like he's interested."

"Well if your so curious why don't you ask him yourself?" Brooke sat back and thought for a second.

"I will, tonight at Tric."

"Ok." The bell rang and they all scooted out of class. Lucas walked behind Jamie to her locker and then followed her to art where Peyton and the teacher were already situated.

"Hi, I have a counselors appointment so I'm going to be out of this period," Jamie lied to the teacher.

"Ok." Jamie smiled at Peyton and walked out of class. Peyton watched as Lucas joined Jamie in he middle of the hallway and they walked outside.

"Hm," she said before going back to her sketch.

"Ok, so what do you want to talk tot me about?" Jamie asked Lucas once they were outside.

"I want to apologize for yesterday. I can't believe I didn't trust you and thought you lied. I should be proud of you and I am. Will you forgive me?" she looked to the side then looked back at him.

"Promise you'll never be an asshole again?"

"Promise."

"Then apology accepted." He pulled her into a hug. "So what do you say we ditch the rest of the day and got to oh I don't know the beach?"

"Jamie, ditching school?"

"Come on, you'll be there. I'll be supervised." He let out a sigh.

"Lets go."

"Yes!" they walked out to Lucas' car and went to the beach.

"Its so awesome to get away!" Jamie said as she ran down the boardwalk.

"Slow down," Lucas said as he followed her. She ran onto the sand.

"Lucas I bet you cant catch me!" Lucas laughed, thinking about the last time she said that to him.

"Are you trying me?"

"Hm, I think I might be." She kept running and Lucas soon caught up with her.

"Got you!" he yelled. They fell back onto the sand. "This seems familiar," Lucas said.

"Yup, you know what happens next?"

"Yea, but are you going to run away this time?"

"Try me." He leaned forward and kissed her, only this time it was a little different.

"So am I calling you boyfriend now?"

"Only if I can call you girlfriend." She smiled and kissed him again.

"Sure." They got up and started walking down the beach.
