"I hate you! You're the reason I have nothing in my life! I wish you never came home!" Lucas screamed at Peyton and with tears in her eyes she walked out of his room and out of his life.

By the time she got home, Peyton was unable to control her tears any longer. They came pouring down her face as she walked through the door of the home she and Brooke shared. When Brooke saw her best friend in the state she was, she immediately knew who was behind it, Lucas.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?"

Peyton was too upset to say anything.

"Come on Peyton, you have to talk to me. What's wrong?"

She could only get one word, "Lucas." "Of course," Brooke thought, "As if that man hasn't hurt her enough already."

"What did he do?" Peyton didn't say anything. "Come on honey, you have to talk to me, I can'y help unless you tell me what's wrong."

"Oh god Brooke! He told me that he hated me. He said I was the reason his life is such a mess. How could I have let this happen?"

"Peyton! Listen to me, this isn't your fault! Lindsey is the one who left, no one forced her to."

"Who are you kidding Brooke!? You heard what Lindsey said on the alter, she said that it was because of his book, the one that's supposedly about me. God! If I would have just stayed gone then none of this would have happened. Luke would be married and happy."

"He would not be married and you know it! The only reason that he was proposed in the first place was because the kiss you two scared him! He loves you, Peyton. He always has and he always will."

"Sure he loves me. That's why he said I do-" Brooke tried to cut her off, but Peyto held up her hand and continued, "You may think he's lying to himself, but you know what? I was the one lying to myself, I was one who was stupid enough to think that he could still possibly have feelings for me after all this time! I should have just said 'Yes.' I love him so much, and now I've cost him the love of his life. I'm such a horrible person!"

"NO! You're not a horrible person, you're just in love. And I know he loves you two Peyton, I can tell by the way he looks at you, it's the same look he's been giving you since junior year and god knows how long before that! He's just afraid."

"No he's not, I told him a while ago that I was going to let go fo him so he could be happy, and I didn't. And now he's lost the one person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. And it's all my fault. I need to get out of here. I'm sorry Brooke, but I just can't be here anymore. I'll close the label, and I'll go back to LA. I just can't stand to look him in the eye anymore. I'm just gonna go to bed, I'll see you in the morning."

"Ok. I'll see you" Brooke watched her best friend walk up the stairs and her heart broke with each step that Peyton took. Everything in all of their lives was so uncertain at this moment but one thing was certain...

"Lucas Eugene Scott, you are gonna pay for what you did to her." Brooke thought as she grabbed her keys and walked out the door to her car.
