Lucas was sitting at the River Court, lost in thought when Skills, Mouth, and Nathan arrived.
"Hey Luke," Mouth greeted with his hands shoved into his pockets. "Look, I'm sorry about taking Brooke to-"
"Mouth, don't worry about it. We're cool man. Didja have fun?"
"Well, yeah, when she wasn't obsessing about you and Peyton."
"Man what is up with all that drama dawg? Even better question, where did you an Peyton disappear to?" Skills asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh-um…People missed us?"
"Well, yeah. You and Brooke were um, Prom king and Queen," Mouth supplied.
Lucas groaned. This was all just getting worse. "I-Peyton wasn't feeling well, so-we left."
"That's not what Haley told me man," Nathan supplied. At the look Lucas gave him, he shrugged and said, "We're married. We share things. So Peyton is in love with you?"
"What?!" Skills and Mouth exclaimed this in union. Lucas looked around at the three faces and sighed. He needed help.
"Peyton told me she loved me last night. She didn't mean to and then I kissed her-"
"What!?" That was from the three of them.
"I-It was…I didn't mean to, but then she was going to leave. Anyway, I said some stuff to her that I shouldn't have and she left. I went after her to apologize and-We didn't do anything, but I told her-I think I'm still in love with her. I need to know what to do here, guys. I need some advice."
"That is some heavy shit, my friend."
"But-but what about Brooke. She'll be crushed," Mouth said. Lucas sighed and shook his head.
"I know and I don't want to do this to her again…with Peyton. No wonder she's so pissed at her."
"Well, we all know how you is wit Peyton."
"How am I with Peyton."
"Um you guys are like the Bobsye twins," Nathan said, getting looks from the other three. He shrugged. "Haley said so."
"Well, I don't know about all that, but I do know ya'll can't keep ya hands off each other, when you're in I love Peyton mode."
"I have an I love Peyton mo-Come on man." Lucas rolled his eyes.
"No it's true. You get this intense look-"
"Come on-"
"Oh you do," Nathan admitted. Lucas shook his head and thought of Peyton. Did he look at her like that? When he ran his fingers through her hair or pulled her into a hug, did he look at her like that?
"That look."
Lucas blinked and looked up at Skills. "What?"
"That look is the look I'm talkin about. Now, who was you thinking about?"
Lucas swallowed. "I love Brooke."
"But who were you thinking of, Lucas?" Mouth asked.
Lucas looked down at his hands. "Peyton," he whispered. "This wasn't supposed to happen. We were just us the other day. We were jokin around and just hanging out, singing Journey. How did this get so messed up?"
"I don't know, man, but you got two hot girls that want you and one big decision to make," Skills said.
"If only we could all be so lucky," Mouth grumbled.
"Man stop wit that. You went to Prom with the Prom Queen."
"Just listen to your heart Luke."
"I did, Nate and it led me to Brooke,"
"Well, apparently your hearts a playa, cause it's still goin, Pey-ton, Pey-ton," Skillz, patted a beat on his chest to Peyton's name. Lucas shook his head.
"Guys-I have to talk to Brooke. She's my girlfriend. I love her. I'm gonna go."
"What are you gonna do?" This came from Mouth. Lucas shrugged at a loss.
"Listen to what my heart says."
