I know it's been months since I've updated, but with Year 12 of school, assignments, exams, work, and family I just haven't found any time! I know this chapter isn't that great, it's more just a fill in! Enjoy :)
Their faces both moved closer to each other's until their lips were touching, each knowing how bad this was.
They kissed for a couple seconds before Clay pulled away.
"We can't do this." Clay sighed.
"You're right. Oh my gosh I can't believe this!" Haley cried.
"What should we do?"
"Let's not tell anyone about this. It would ruin everything." There was a long pause.
"Okay." Clay and Haley sat in silence, before Clay spoke again. "I think I'm going to call Quinn, and see if I can have Addison for the night." Clay said as he walked outside.
"Who was that?" Lucas asked Quinn as she walked back inside.
"That… that was Clay." Quinn replied sounding shocked.
"Woah. Really?" Lucas asked in disbelief.
"Yeah. But it was only about Addison. I guess that's a step."
"Of course it is. Him calling you is massive."
"Are you sure you're okay with her tonight? I don't have to go."
"Quinn, we're fine! I really don't mind, and Sawyer adores her." Lucas assured Quinn as he held the sleeping baby in his arms.
"Okay, but call me if anything happens!"
"I promise. Now go! Have fun, Peyton is waiting for you outside."
"Okay, have a good night." Quinn replied, closing the front door behind her.
*4 HOURS LATER*
"You know what? I.. I don't need.. Clay! There are so many hot guys here that I c could have sex with in a second!" Quinn said, almost spaced out.
"Honey, I think that's enough drinks for you tonight." Peyton replied, taking away the cocktail from Quinn.
"What? I… I'm so fine! I… feel… great!" Quinn laughed, almost falling back off the bar stool.
"Okay I think it's time to leave. C'mon Quinn." Peyton helped Quinn up, and placed her arm behind Peyton's back.
"But, why? Already?"
"Yeah sweetie, I think we've had enough fun already."
"Okay, but we should so do this again! You were right, it was so fun!"
"Yeah maybe we should go to the movies next time." Peyton laughed, helping her friend into the cab.
*THE NEXT MORNING*
"Oh. My. God." Quinn moaned, struggling to get up from the bathroom floor. "This is the worst hangover… ever!"
"Hey sweetie, how you doing?" Peyton asked as she walked into the bathroom.
"Not good."
"Here, take these." Peyton said, handing the tablets and glass of water to Quinn.
"Why the hell do I stuff up like this?" Quinn fiddled with the tablets in her hand. "I do it all the time! I make these big mistakes and then I have to deal with the consequences."
"Quinn, you haven't stuffed up. You thought this was all for the best. It's not your fault, really." Peyton sat down on the floor next to Quinn, comforting her by pulling her in for a hug.
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For this. I've gotten so much closer to you in just this one day; you're the only one that understands."
"No need to thank me. Like I said, I don't have any girlfriends here in LA, so it's really good to have you here." Peyton smiled. "I've got to go check on Sawyer."
"Oh no, I totally forgot about Addison! I'm such a bad mother! I mean, first I lose her father, and now I go out and get drunk and forget about her! What am I doing, Peyton?"
"It's fine. Luke's got her. He seems to be enjoying looking after her. And don't you dare call yourself a bad mother! You have done the best you can, which is more than enough! I know how much you love that baby, I am a mother, you know."
"Yeah. Thanks again."
"Anytime, honey." Peyton stood up from off the floor and walked out of the bathroom. Quinn managed to get up off the ground and clean herself up, before walking out into the family room of the Scott house.
"Hey Luke, thanks for looking after her." Quinn smiled as she sat next to Lucas on the couch.
"She is such a good baby. Sawyer was just like her." Lucas replied.
"She looks so peaceful." Quinn said, looking down at the sleeping baby in Lucas' arms.
"They grow up so fast."
"It seems like only yesterday I was finding out I was pregnant."
"Yeah, same goes with Sawyer. Now she's getting into everything she can find."
Quinn laughed. "Oh I am not looking forward to that part."
"You shouldn't be. Anyway, are you looking forward to Brooke's wedding?"
"Oh my gosh, I totally forgot about that! It's in like, a week!"
"I know, it's come up fast."
Quinn smiled, before Addison started to cry. "I think somebody is hungry!"
"Peyton is making her a bottle. Here, you take her." Lucas handed Addison to Quinn. As if on cue, Peyton walked into the family room carrying Sawyer in one arm and a bottle in the other hand. She placed Sawyer on the floor and handed Quinn the bottle.
"Hey, my girl!" Lucas grinned as Sawyer ran into his open arms. "How is my girl doing today?" Sawyer just smiled, before talking some baby talk that none of them could understand.
The three of them sat on the couch, watching Addison slowly fall asleep in the middle of her feed.
