A/N: Does inspiration ever hit you like a ton of bricks? Because that just happened to me. I was sitting at work with my head down and all of a sudden… BOOM idea. So let's see if I can get it to translate into an actual chapter for you. My mind kind of went all over the place and the story line is needing a time jump but hopefully I can hold onto this idea long enough to not need a major time jump. Here we go. Please review.
Peyton kicked her leg up in the air. She loved cheering. Mainly because Anna was a cheerleader in high school and it made her feel close to her but recently with everything going on her mind was everywhere else. Lucas chest passed the ball to Nathan and then Nathan shot it towards the hoop. It went in effortlessly. Nathan and Lucas might not get along off the court but they knew how to make it easy on the court.
Less than a minute left in the second half. The Ravens are leading by 14 points. They were going to win this game. Unless something crazy happened. Luckily the game clock expired and the Ravens won. The cheerleaders waved their pompoms and shouted the school song.
Peyton leaned across the bar. "Tequila please." Peyton laid her card on the counter.
"How many of those do you think you need?" Nathan asked softly in her ear.
Peyton chuckled lightly. "About 50 more."
"Whys that?" Nathan hadn't got much time with Peyton the last few days. She seemed off.
"Just have a lot going on." Peyton said. "I just need to clear my head." The bartender placed the glass in front of her and she lifted it to her lips.
"That's a little strong don't you think?" Nathan couldn't stomach tequila straight. He wondered how Peyton could stand it.
Peyton spent her younger teenage years drinking excessively. Rock star father meant bad crowd. The law didn't find it as funny as a drunk Peyton when she was stumbling around trying to get into the hotel room. Anyone who didn't know her would think she was crazy but the alcohol had to be strong to even do anything for her anymore.
She sighed. "I guess I'm just used to it. Drinking every weekend with you is taking a toll on my tolerance."
Nathan nodded. "So do you have a thing for my brother?"
Peyton chocked on her drink. "Wh-what?" She coughed.
"You heard me. Do you have a thing for my brother?" Nathan really didn't like Lucas but if Luke was going to let Haley date him then he could give him a chance with Peyton.
"I don't know. Maybe." Peyton shrugged. She barely even knew Lucas. "I'm going to need another drink if we are going to have this conversation.
"Sure thing." Nathan watched Peyton get another drink and down in quickly.
"Just try and get some sleep." Nathan opened Peyton's door and let her into the room.
"Whatever you say boss." Peyton laughed and collapsed on the bed.
Nathan groaned. "You are killing me Peyton." Nathan closed the door to her room and ran into Lucas. "Hey what are you doing?"
"I was going to go to my room."
"Do you think you could stay with Peyton? I told Haley I would meet her and Peyton is really drunk." Nathan pleaded.
Lucas glanced at the door behind Nathan. "Yeah. I guess." He took the key from Nathan.
"Thanks man." Nathan patted his back and headed down the hall.
Lucas opened the door and saw Peyton laying sideways on the bed. He chuckled. She had had far too much to drink. He placed her underneath the blankets and propped himself up next to her and turned on the TV.
Peyton stirred and noticed the figure next to hear was sitting up still. She opened her eyes farther and noticed that it was not her brunette best friend rather her brunette best friend's brother. "Luke?" She mumbled.
The figure shifted. "Hey. How you feeling?"
"Painfully sober." Peyton rubbed her eyes.
Lucas shifted again. Being this close to Peyton made it hard to stay still. He was attracted to her and wanted her to know he liked her but there were some lines you shouldn't cross and that was one of them because that could mess up a friendship… if they even were friends. "Your phone has been going off like crazy."
Peyton groaned and reached across him and grabbed her phone. The screen lit up.
M: Peyton, I want you to come home.
M: Why aren't you replying?
M: Peyton Elizabeth Wolf, answer me?
M: Are you okay?
3 missed class from Mick
Peyton groaned. She placed her head into her hands.
Lucas watched her. She seemed conflicted. He placed his hand on her knee. "Hey, you okay?"
"No." She shook her head. "My dad wants me to come home." In the moment she forgot that only Brooke knew what she would mean by that. Whether is was the brewing hangover or the fact that it was Lucas who made her confess she didn't know.
Lucas was confused. "It's like 3 in the morning."
"Oh. Yeah... no not Larry. My real dad." She said softly almost completely unheard but Lucas heard her.
"What? What do you mean?" Lucas had only just met this girl but he had known her last name and her parents.
"My dad isn't my dad." Peyton sighed. She could barely think anymore. "My dad sent me to live with Larry and Anna." She didn't want to talk about this and the only way she knew how to change someone's focus was to use herself. She looked up at Lucas and placed her lips onto his.
Lucas was shocked at first. He pulled away. "Wh- Peyton?" He looked at her with concern.
"I don't want to talk please." She said and kissed him again. "Let it go please. Just kiss me."
He nodded and took her head into his hands and their mouths met again. Her lips parted and allowed him access. She slid her arms around his neck and laced her fingers through his hair. She was hypnotized by him. He made her feel safe and forget about everything else.
Peyton had been with other people before but she didn't know if Lucas had. She wasn't going to give him a chance to turn her down.
Lucas knew he should stop them but he didn't want to.
She raised up and straddled Lucas. She reached down his back and pulled his shirt over his head, only breaking apart their kiss long enough to remove it.
Lucas grabbed on her hips and continued kissing. They continued kissing through the loss of the remaining clothing they were wearing.
"Seriously?" Nathan yelled loudly.
Peyton jumped. "Nathan I have a headache. Shut up."
"Peyton, you had sex with my brother?!" He exclaimed.
Peyton's eyes shot open and she looked around the room. Lucas was asleep next to her and their clothes were thrown around the room. "Shit."
"Peyton, seriously." Nathan threw a pillow at Lucas.
Lucas awoke suddenly sitting up quickly. "Nate."
"Shut up. Don't say a word." Nat informed him and crossed his arms. "I asked you to watch her not sleep with her."
"It was all me Nate. Calm down." Peyton defended Lucas. It had been her idea. She asked him to just give her that.
"Peyton you were drunk he took advantage." Nathan was firm in his voice.
"Not exactly." Peyton sighed. "I woke up at like 3am painfully sober and I was dealing with some stuff and if anyone used anyone I used him." Okay so she knew that sounded bad but it was pretty close to the truth.
Peyton stood and started gathering her clothes. She didn't think anything of it because Nathan had seen her naked. He was who she lost her virginity too.
Lucas was shocked and Nathan saw the look on his face. He knew he should keep his mouth shut but he didn't want to. "Yeah I've seen her naked. Who do you think she lost her virginity to?"
Peyton slapped him. "Nathan."
Nate rubbed his arm. "Ouch."
"He didn't need to know that." Peyton exclaimed and grabbed the rest of her clothing. "I need a shower." She went into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
Nathan turned to leave.
"Why did she have sex with you?" Lucas asked.
"We were drunk." He turned around. "She had been drinking a lot lately. She does that when she is avoiding something but that night it wasn't enough. She just needed me that night."
"How many times?" Lucas knew he should stop asking questions.
"I don't know." Nathan really didn't. Half the time he was drunk and wouldn't have remembered had he not woke up next to her naked. "It's been a long time since I did that with her. I started seeing Haley and she stopped using me to do that. She won't even tell me what's going on right now that is making her drink again."
Peyton's phone began ringing. "Answer it." Nathan said to Lucas.
"No." Lucas wasn't going to invade her privacy.
"Yes." Nathan insisted
Lucas sighed and opened the phone. He placed the call on speaker. "Hello?"
"Peyton? Is Peyton there?" Mick said into the phone.
"She's in the shower. Who is this?" Nathan asked.
"It's her father."
"What? No I know her father his name is Larry." Lucas knew this was going to end badly now.
"No. I'm her father. My name is Mick. Tell her I called please. She is avoiding my calls and I haven't heard from her in a couple of days." Mick said in a rush. In the background they could hear someone talking about set lists.
"Yes sir." Lucas said quickly and hung up the phone.
"What the hell?" Peyton appeared in the doorway with just a towel on. "Why were you on my phone?" She yelled.
"It was ringing." Lucas stated.
"So what? That's my personal property."
"Peyton, it was your dad." Brooke appeared in the doorway. "He won't stop calling me. Peyt, you have to call him."
Peyton's face fell. "No." She said softly. "I don't want to talk to him."
"What the hell is going on?" Nathan asked. He was so far out of the loop and it was making him mad.
"Peyton's dad isn't her real dad." Brooke started. "Peyton… tell them who your dad is. You need people you can talk to instead of using everyone for sex." Brooke looked at Lucas and then Nathan. "And clearly Lucas is the new infatuation."
Peyton groaned. "Brooke."
"If you don't I will. Tell them your real name Peyton." Brooke pleaded. "I can't be the only one to buffer your arguments with him anymore."
'Fine." Peyton groaned. "My real name is Peyton Wolf. As in Mick Wolf's daughter." She stopped and waited. She searched Nathan's eyes and then Lucas'. They were both taking a long time to process the information.
A/N: So what did you think? I personally loved it but that's just me. It's my story so I hope I love it. Please leave reviews. I finally decided where I want this to go so it's just getting it there.
