They have just came back from laying Karen to rest. Chase and Brooke went for a walk. Haley was still crying. as Nathan held her close rubbing her back to try to comfort her. Deb sat in the corner playing peek-boo with baby Jamie. Skills and Mouth sat out on the porch.

Peyton sat in the rocking chair holding a sleeping Lily. As she let the tears that she has been holding back fall. She cried from the lost of a woman she calmed as a third mother. She cried for the baby in her arms, who will never get to know her mom. She cried for the pain that Lucas was in. But mostly she cried because, Lucas was pushing her away. She thought thinks were going great, the first night here he kissed her, held her close to him as they slept. They next morning they acted like a couple, as they took turns holding and feeding Lily. He kissed her a couple times that day, they even stay up all night talking. But something changed in him. He quit talking to her, what hurt her the most is that he wouldn't look at her. So now she sleeps on the couch or, in Lily's room on the floor. She wiped her eyes before, she got up to lay lily down. She put on her fake smile before, walking in the living room to join the others.

"Hey" she said, quietly as she enter the room.

"Is Lily a sleep"Deb asked, as she stood up. With Jamie in her arms.

"Yeah, she was pretty tried. Let me see him" Peyton said, as she took Jamie for Deb's arms "Hey there cutie" she smiled down at the happy baby. "You look like your mother, thank god for that" she joked

"Hey Sawyer, I heard that" Nathan yelled. Peyton just smiled at him.

"Nathan was a cute baby" Deb said, looking over at him

"See Sawyer I was cute baby, and I'm still cute" He said, with a smirk

"Whatever, you say nath." Peyton said, with a little laugh.

Brooke and Chase walked back to Lucas's house holding hands. " Brooke when are you going to Peyton" Chase asked. as he stopped her before they enter the house.

" I don't know" she said, looking down at the ground.

"Brooke we have to tell her" He said in a serious tone.

" I not want her to be mad at me" she whispered in a sad voice.

"Baby, she is your best friend, she will be happy for us" he said, trying to reassure her.

" I know she will, but she still going to be upset that, I didn't include her, that I kept it a secret for three days." she said, in a strained voice.

" She loves you, she will forgive you." Chase said, as kissed her head.

Later that night Deb took Jamie and Lily back to her house. She thought that maybe without the kids been there. That they will been able to get Lucas out of his room. Haley try to get him to come out in eat, but he never answered the door. So they all sat in the living room talking and telling story's.

"We could play I never" Skillz said, with a raised eye brow

"I don't think so, every time we play that game a fight breaks out" Nathan said.

"Because you usely start them" Peyton said, as the rest of the group agreed.

"How about true or dare" Brooke suggested

"OH, yeah because that game is so fun" Peyton said, sarcastically

"Shut up" Brooke yelled, as she slap Peyton's thigh. "You remember when we dare Tim to kiss Nathan?"

"Oh yeah, now that was funny" Peyton said, as she looked over at Nathan who's head was down.

"When did this happen" Haley asked, as she sat up waiting on details.

"When we were like in the eight grade I think" Brooke said, "Nathan dare Peyton and me to kiss. Which we did, which by the way Peyton is a good kisser" Brooke winked

"You not so bad yourself B" Peyton winked back.

" Wow, I would totally like to see a repeat of that kiss" Skillz said, getting a huge smile on his face. Everyone was laughing so hard. That they didn't notice Lucas walking into the room.

"What are you guys still doing here?" he asked, in a cold voice. Everyone stopped laughing and snapped there heads towards him. he looked tried, and pale, his eyes were red and dull full of pain and loneliness.

"We didn't want to leave you" Haley said, as she walked over to him. Haley touched his hand gently.

"I don't need a babysitter Haley" he said, as he pulled away from her.

"Luke, we care about you man" Nathan said, as he stood up.

"Well Nath, thanks for caring, but I don't need you or Haley, hell I don't needed any of you" he said, as he looked over at Peyton. She shook her head.

"Lucas, don't shut us out, please let us in" Peyton pleaded, in a soft calm voice

"Says the queen of shutting people out" Lucas responds with an angry tone. Peyton's eyes widen,

"Lucas" Haley hiss

"Don't take your pain out on her" Brooke said.

"Why not? she loves to take her pain out on all of us" he replied in the same tone. His eyes still locked on her.

"GO TO HELL" Peyton yell, as she walked out the door.

"YEAH, PEYTON RUN AWAY LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO" he yelled,

"What the hell is your problem with her?" Brooke asked, as she put on her shoes.

"Nothing, I just wanted her to leave" he said, as he walked back to his room.

"Lucas, I'm sorry for your lost, I understand that your hurt and upset and scared. But that doesn't give you the right to treat her like that" Brooke said, as she walked in his room.

"Whatever Brooke" he said, as he threw himself down on his bed.

"No,it's not whatever Lucas, she has been nothing, but good to you, she has been here for you and Lily, she has taking all the crap you have put her through, the last couple of days and, you want to know why?" Brooke said, as she walked over towards the door.

"Because, she feels sorry for me" he said, in a lame tone

"No, you jackass, it's not because she feels sorry for you. It's because she's fucking in love with you. " she yelled, then walked out the door.

Lucas sat up, as the words left her mouth. He was speechless, he knew that Peyton had feeling for him, but he never thought that she could possibly be in love with him. He closed his eyes as the guilt set in. He has been waiting all summer to tell her how he feels, he was so afraid, she would rejected him.

"She in love with me" he whispered,

"I know, so how about you get off your ass and, go after her" Haley said, as she patted his back.

"You know, my mom told me that she believed Peyton loved me" he whispered. " But I thought she was just saying it to make me feel better"

"Lucas, everyone knew she had feeling for you" Haley said, with a little smile.

"What do I say to her" he asked, in a confused voice

"Let your heart talk"
