I do not own One Tree Hill, nor do I own "Wish You Were Here" by Incubus.

So, tonight's One Tree Hill, I must say I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of LP. The stupid previews made it seem like it was all about them, but w.e. I still loved bitchy Peyton. The Naley family moment made me cry, I'm not even gonna lie lol. She was so shocked and Nathan shaved; we just need a haircut. I don't like the nanny though, she seems a little off. Victoria is Brooke's mother, I kinda saw that coming, they look alike. We shall see.


I dig my toes into the sand

The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket

I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless

And in this moment I am happy

Happy

"Alright, so everything's packed right?" Peyton asked for the millionth time.

"Yes, everything is packed", Lucas responded for the millionth time.

She picked up on the tone of his voice and faced him with a frown. She had been a little anal retentive with everything today. It was the day of the State Championship and Keith was staying here in Tree Hill while they set out for Raleigh.

"Sorry, we've just never left him overnight before", she pouted.

Lucas wrapped his arms around her waist and stared down into her eyes. "I love you so much", he whispered. Her body shivered and she snuggled as close to him as she could.

"I love you too."

He nuzzled his nose against hers and spoke. "He will be fine, plus my mom's excited to give us a night to ourselves, we can't disappoint her", Peyton smiled.

"The only reason she's so willing is because she knows we can't have sex", Lucas groaned in frustration.

"Don't remind me, we can't even celebrate after the win", it was his turn to pout. Peyton patted his cheek sweetly before responding.

"There are other ways I can congratulate you", she lowered her voice to a seductive whisper and her hands traveled to the growing bulge in his pants.

"Don't tease me", he thought back to the previous week and the cold showers and alone time he spent after many heated make out sessions.

"Mmm, no teasing, I swear", she whispered before gently nipping at his ear lobe. He threw his head back and shuddered.

He blindly walked them to the bed and placed her gently onto it. He crawled next to her and watched as she bit her lip. Cupping her face in his large hands his lips found her and she opened her mouth; letting his tongue enter with ease. Moans filled the room and Peyton straddled Lucas in hopes of getting the upper hand. She sucked on the hinge of his jaw and slowly worked the buttons of his shirt open. He leaned forward and the garment was quickly discarded.

Her feather-like kisses drove him insane. He needed to feel more. He pulled her face back up to his and captured her lips intensely. She moaned at the feeling of his tongue gently massaging her own. His hands roamed her body. They skimmed her bare legs, cupped her ass, dragged across her back and gently hovered over her full breasts. She leaned down when she sensed his hesitation. His hands were pressed against her chest and that alone almost sent them both over the edge.

He moved his lips to her neck while tenderly massaging her skin through the material of her cheerleading uniform. She groaned in aggravation; she wished this could go all the way. His full and slightly swollen lips trailed along her skin. Peyton rocked her hips forward and Lucas let out a deep growl.

"God, I want you", he said huskily.

"I want you too, baby", her thick voice whispered.

Her hands reached for his belt buckle and Lucas shuddered at the anticipation of what was next. He heard the zipper get pulled down and was wiggling out of his pants when a voice interrupted them.

"P. Sawy – Woah!"

Both blondes scrambled to get Lucas's pants back up.

"I am so sorry", she said while trying to hide her smirk.

"Brooke, can you give us a minute?" Lucas asked in desperation. The brunette snapped out of her daze and nodded before shutting the door.

"That was so embarrassing", Peyton collapsed on top of Lucas and buried her face into the crook of his neck.

"That was so disappointing", he countered and rubbed her back soothingly.

"I should probably go see what she wants", she slowly slid off of Lucas's bare chest and got to her feet. "Here", she grinned as she threw him his light blue dress shirt.

"Thanks, I'm gonna need a minute", he muttered. Peyton nodded and smoothed out her clothes before opening the door and leaving the room.

"I am so sorry Peyton. I thought you guys couldn't do that", she defended herself.

"It wasn't going to be that, but it was going to be something."

"Sorry . . . at least I know to knock from now on", she smiled faintly. The blonde laughed and nodded.

"What were you going to tell me?"

"Oh, well we have like ten minutes till we have to head out. You, me, preggers, and Bevin are all riding together because apparently we'd distract the players", she said with a roll of her eyes.

"How are we all going to fit, none of us have big enough cars."

"We're riding with Judas."

"Well, this should be fun."

"Oh, tons", she said sarcastically.

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

The group of Raven's stepped into the locker room and let out a breath. This was the day that was sure to change their lives. Scouts would be around and nothing would look better then a win. There was also another driving force.

"Alright, I'll be in the office, you guys try not to stick your heads up your asses, we've got ten minutes till game time."

The older man's southern voice was solemn. It was obvious his head was as full with thoughts as the young men that stood before him.

"He has such a way with words", Nathan muttered from his place on the bench. Lucas laughed and shook his head.

"He means well . . . this is just as big a night for him as it is us."

"You ready fo this dawg?" Skillz asked as he approached the brothers.

"I feel like I'm gonna throw up", Nathan whined as he rubbed his temples. Skillz furrowed his brows and turned to the blonde.

"How 'bout you?"

"I'm nervous, but the scouts aren't here for me", he nodded in the darker skinned boys direction.

"It's crazy; a few months back I was some Riverrat, now I'm goin big time baby", he grinned and rubbed his hands together.

"Hey, have you talked to any of the girls?" Nathan asked both boys.

"Yeah, Peyton mentioned the fact that they almost died."

"Bevin say the same thing, Brooke and Rachel got into it."

"Peyton thought Haley was going to pop the baby out right there."

"Great, that's just what Haley needs, stress."

"I'm sure it's fine out there", Lucas didn't even believe his own words.

"Slut."

"Whore."

"Bitch."

"Stop hitting on married guys."

"Stop eating those extra doughnuts."

At Rachel's words Brooke lunged forward, but was quickly yanked back.

"Okay, this has been the best two and a half hours of my life", Peyton said sarcastically, "but seriously, cut it out", she stared at both girls with hard eyes.

"She started it", Rachel argued.

"Did not."

"I don't care who started it, I'm ending it", Peyton's motherly tone boomed into the empty locker room.

Both girls instantly stopped their actions and faced the blonde with wide eyes. Peyton had a shocked expression of her own. She officially sounded like a parent.

"Oh my God", she gasped as she sat down.

"P. Sawyer, you just had a total mommy moment."

"That was intense", the red head spoke calmly.

"Yeah, well let's hope I never have a girl", she muttered with a glare at both girls.

Rachel took a breath before releasing it slowly. "Sorry", she muttered with her eyes glued to the ground. Peyton's eyes snapped up to stare at Rachel.

"I'm sorry, okay? Let's just put this crap behind us and cheer for the boys tonight."

Everyone's mouths were on the floor at Rachel's words. She had apologized and seemed sincere. What world were they in? Haley rolled her eyes and was about to speak.

"Let's cheer for your boys", she clarified after she saw Haley's reaction. The girls nodded and filed out of the room.

"That was pretty big of you", Peyton said as they walked out.

"I'm not the bitch everyone thinks I am", Rachel said softly.

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

The boys walked out of the locker room with determination on their faces. When they stepped back onto that court it would be the start of the fourth quarter. Unfortunately, they were down by ten points. Whitey's speech had certainly got them going though. Lucas was going over plays in his head when a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him into a room.

The smell that instantly drifted up his nostrils sent a smile to his lips. "Well, this is a surprise."

"I wanted to give you some encouragement", she whispered before interlocking her lips with his. Her tongue danced against his and he let out a moan. His hands roamed her body hungrily and her fingers played with the hair at the nape of his neck. They broke apart when the need for air became too great.

"How many more minutes do you have?" she asked breathlessly.

"I probably should get back now."

She rolled her eyes. "I meant in the game, doof."

His cheeks turned a shade of pink before he responded. "Oh, like ten."

"I'll be cheering for you only babe."

"I wouldn't expect anything less."

He leaned down for another kiss until a voice made him freeze.

"Scott lets move it!"

Peyton chuckled and kiss him quickly. "You better go before Whitey has a heart attack."

"I'll see you out there", he said quickly before turning to leave the room.

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

"Okay boys, there's twenty seconds left and you're down by three. You've done really great and that may be good enough for you, but I have spent way too much time working with you to accept really great. Let's win this", his old voice croaked out.

"Lucas, you got twenty seconds in you?" he asked with a slow smile.

The blonde boy grinned. "Yes sir."

"Get out there."

Peyton visibly brightened when Lucas stepped onto the court. He looked her way and she sent him a reassuring smile.

"You ready for this big brother?"

"More then ready", Lucas said with determination.

"Let's do this", Skillz joined them with two fists. The boys nodded and they all bumped fists before taking their places on the court.

The crowd cheered them on and Lucas was handed the ball and the ref's whistle was blown. Mouth's voice soon filled the air.

"Nathan Scott has the ball, twenty seconds left, he passes to Skillz with ten seconds left, Skillz passes back to Nathan, five seconds left and he drives to the hoop. He passes to Lucas Scott for a three and the win!"

The stadium watched with baited breath as the ball soared through the air. Flashbacks of Lucas's junior year filled most of their minds; he had missed the shot. Would he miss it again?

Swoosh

The blonde dropped to his knees as the crowd went wild. Mouth's voice screamed.

"Lucas Scott hits a three at the buzzer! We win! The Raven's win the State Championship!"

Nathan ran to the stands and took Haley into his arms.

"You did it!"

"We did it", he said with a smile as he cupped her face and kissed her.

Skillz jogged towards Bevin.

"Who the man baby?" he asked with a teasing smile.

"You're the man baby", she pulled on his jersey and kissed his lips.

Lucas scanned the crowd until he met the green eyes he loved so much.

"Nice shot", she said with a smile and her hands on her hips. He smirked and remembered a moment they had shared the year before.

"Nice legs", at this point he was right in front of her. She grinned before leaping into his arms; squealing as he spun them around.

"I'm so proud of you", she shouted over the celebration. He replied with a 'thanks' and she furrowed her brows. "He is too", she spoke, knowing exactly what he was thinking.

His smile grew and he spoke. "I love you, Peyton Sawyer.

"You better", she teased before swooping down to kiss his full lips.

Confetti rained down on the Raven's and their supporters. It was one of the happiest moments in their lives and there was no better way to celebrate and she wanted to share the news with someone she knew would care.

She searched for her cell phone in her bag in the locker room. Smiling triumphantly she flipped it open and dialed a number. It rang so often her smile eventually fell into a frown. A recording filled her ear and she threw her phone back into her bag.

This definitely wasn't how she had planned on celebrating.

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were...here

Wish you were here
