Prefect Match
Chapter 11
Lucas walked into the living Room where Nathan and Haley were cuddling on the couch. He sat down in the brown chair next to the couch, then he lay his head back in stared at the ceiling. As he thought about his short talk with his daughter, hearing her say she did not like Peyton, was not something he was expecting.
" Lucas you okay?" Haley asked, after a few seconds. He didn't answer he just kept staring at the ceiling.
" Luke " Nathan said, when he didn't answer, he took his left leg in kicked Luke's right leg hard.
" what the hell?" he said, as he looked over at the couple. " what is your problem?" he yelled, glaring at the both of them
" I don't have a problem, you do."
" why do I have a problem ?"
" I don't know, you came in here all depressed like, Haley asked of you were okay? You didn't answer and there is nothing interesting on my ceiling" he said as he looked up." so something's up you might as well tell us."
Lucas groaned, then he sat straight up " you guys think Katie likes Peyton."
" yes, she loves her." Haley said, happily. And Nathan agreed with her.
" that is what I thought! " he exclaims " but I just asked her in she said that she didn't."
" what?" Haley said, clearly not beleiving him.
"she told me she didn't like Peyton, I asked her why then she told me she was tried. So I told her we will talk in the morning." He ran his fingers through his hair. " I don't know what to do."
" Luke, she likes Peyton I know for a fact she does, she told me so. Something must have upset her, to make her say that."
" that is what I am thinking, I just wish I knew what it was."
" just be calm she will tell you when she's ready. " Haley told him. Lucas nodded
" so what is really going on between you to." Nathan asked with a grin.
" Who?"
" you and Peyton who"
" nothing"
" nothing?" he raised his eye brow." you to we're very cozy today "
Lucas smiled, " okay, were together kind of."
" kind of?" Nathan and Haley asked at the same time.
" yeah, we want to be together, but Peyton wanted to talk to the girls before we came out in the open with are relationship."
" so that is why you're so upset that Katie said she didn't like Peyton , " Haley asked, as she smiled at him. She was happy that everything was coming together, she knows Katie loves Peyton, so she's not to worried about that, not as much as Lucas is.
" yep," he paused, " Peyton said that she will talk to Kelly, and I would talk to Katie, if there okay with everything then we will talk to them together. But if they're not okay with us being together we end things."
Haley's smile fade, after he spoke, " that is crazy she cannot base you guys relationship, on two six-year-old girls who change their minds like the the weather." she was annoyed now.
" I know, but I agreed with it cause I knew that Katie liked Peyton, and I was pretty sure that Kelly likes me. So I figured the girls would not have a problem with us dating. But now with what Katie just said, I am kind of worried that our relationship is over before it even started, which just sucks, cause I really like her a lot. ".
" Luke the girls want you, guys together. Believe me, " Haley told him trying to assure him" but, I have a question."
" What's that?"
" you said, that Peyton said if the girls aren't happy about you guys dating, Then you guys are done. " he nodded, " well what about if you two start dating in the girls are over the moon excited, then chance their minds, does that mean that you two would have to end your relationship just because, one girl decide that they do not want you, guys together anymore."
" that is mess up," Nathan said, " you could be together for a year, and be in love with one another, them she would end it just because one girl is not happy . "
Lucas just sat there, he never even thought about that. " I don't know" he whispered, then he stood up. " I need to talk to Peyton about this." he told them then walked out the room. There was no way he could start a relationship knowing his whole relationship will be in the hands of two six-year-old girls. It's not fair, Its not fair to him, or to Peyton.
Peyton stared at Brooke who was sitting on the side of Jeff's bed, " what is she talking about it?" Peyton asked Brooke,
" I..." Brooke began, " look can we talk about this later I really need to get Jeff asleep"
Peyton looked at Jeff, " fine, but we will be talking about it as soon as you're done, " she told her before walking over to Jeff's bed. " night baby, sleep tight. Don't let the b
" bed bugs bite" Jeff laughed after finishing her sentence.
" love you little man." She told him with a smile, even thou she and Brooke had a fell out, she still treated Jeff like her nephew. She loves him as much as she loves Kelly.
" love you to aunt Peyton." Jeff said, as Peyton kissed his forehead. She ran her fingers through his hair, before walking out the door.
" why are you doing this?" Brooke asked Rachel as soon as Peyton left the room.
" cause apparently, you were never going to tell her the whole truth. You were going to let her believe it was a one night thing, and that it was a mistake. Which it was not, she deserves to know the truth."
" she knows the important part. That is all that matters Rachel ." Brooke told her as she grabbed a book to read to Jeff. " now if you would excuse me I need to read my son a story."
Rachel eyed her up, " go ahead" she said, as she walked over to Jeff's bed. " night little man" she said as she kissed his cheek.
" night aunt Rachel."
" if you're not down there in the next twenty minutes, I am telling her everything." Rachel told her, she knew Brooke was trying to get out of talking. " I am not doing this to hurt you or her, I love you both and you know that, But the lies need to stop."
Brooke bit her lip as she watched Rachel leave the room. " this is going to end badly."
Peyton sat in the living room wondering what Brooke had to tell her. She was knocked out of her thoughts by a knock at the door.
" hey " she said happily finding Lucas on the other side.
"hey did you talk to Kelly yet?" he asked as he slides his hands in his pocket.
" no," she sighed, " I think she is mad at me."
" why?"
" I'm not sure, " she said as she step outside shutting the door behind her. " usually if I ground her or take something she loves off her. She gives me the cold shoulder. Kind of like she doing now." she paused." I told her I love her and, she didn't even say it back." she whispered the last sadly.
Lucas pulled her to him, " you know she loves you Peyton. I wish I knew what to tell you, Katie has something bothering her to, but I am going to get to the bottom of it tomorrow. "
Peyton wrapped her arms around his neck. " do you think they are upset cause of us."
" what do you mean?"
" today at the fair Luke we acted like we were a couple. Maybe they picked up on it and didn't like it."
Lucas thought a minute before answering. " so what if they are upset that we are a couple, what does that mean for us."
" Luke..." she said, as she tried to pull away, but he would not let her.
" what? Seriously Peyton are you really going to base our relationship on what our daughters say?"
" what is going on our here?" a voice from behind them said. Stopping Peyton from answering.
Peyton looked back and smiled. " Lucas this Rachel, " she said as she turn around facing her friend. Lucas removed his hands from around her. And Rachel this is my..." she looked back at Lucas. " my boyfriend Lucas Scott."
Both sets of eyes went wide, Lucas because she called him her boyfriend and Rachel cause, Peyton has not dated in four years, and because Lucas is all she hears about from Brooke when she calls. Unless there is another Lucas she thought. " Nice to meet you " she said shaking his hand.
" you to."
" Rachel in I met the summer before our senior year. We clicked fast along with Brooke, the three of us were...
"unbreakable " Rachel finished for her. " we did everything together, we ran that school," She then sighed as she realized that their unbreakable friendship will break tonight. " I'm going to head back in, nice to meet you Lucas."
" You to" Lucas said with a huge smile. Soaring after Peyton telling her he was her boyfriend.
" I will be in soon." Peyton told her, then turn her attention back to Lucas. Who kissed her sweetly after Rachel closed the door. " so I take it you like the idea of being my boyfriend ?" she asked against his lips.
" love it," he whispered, then kissed her again. " I love kissing you" he said, repeating the words he said to her early in Haley's kitchen.
" Hmm, I love kiss you to." she said, as they stood there kissing for a few minutes.
Peyton pulled back, " I am going to talk to Kelly in the morning, after I find out why she is mad at me. "
" okay, I will talk to Katie in the morning to." he told her, he didn't want to tell her what Katie said early. He wanted to talk to Katie again first.
" well I should head back in there, Brooke has something she needs to tell me. So this should be fun" she said sarcastically. He pulled her as close to him as possible.
" you want me to stay?" He asked, as he kissed her forehead.
" no, I will be fine. It cannot be that bad." she said in an unsure voice. She looked down at the grass.
" you okay?"
" I'm scared"
" why?" He touched her check. " You can tell me"
" the last time Brooke told me something it damn near killed me." she told him, as she thought about her trip to LA, " Jeff is Kelly half-brother " she whispered softly.
"I figured" Peyton raised her eye brow, " the first night I met Jeff he told us his full name, then the other night when Kelly was talking to Katie about her dad, she told her his full name. I put two in two together. I just didn't say anything or asks you cause I wanted you to tell me when you were ready. If you were ever right."
" that is why Brooke and I have not talked. I was visiting her in LA over the summer like I always do, and she told me one night after being there for a month that she had something she needed to get off her chest. She said they both were drunk in it was a big mistake. She wanted to come clean with me, but Marshall begged her not to . Then she find out she was pregnant. In Marshall talked her into moving to LA, he brought her a house, a car, and was sending her money ever week. "
" wow!" Lucas said, as he give her a small frown, no wondered she had been so upset with Brooke been here, and the thought of Brooke moving here.
" Marshall's parents are rich anything he asked for he got, that's how he was able to send her money every week. Then Brooke got into fashion, which she is amazing at, making clothes, which are awesome, she makes great money. Jeff doesn't want or need anything, cause he pretty much has everything."
Lucas nodded " so Kelly thinks...
" Jeff is her cousin, " Peyton finished for him. " but in reality he is her half brother . Pretty messed up huh?" Lucas just hugged her tightly, " I just don't know, what to do? How do you explain to a six-year-old that her cousin is her half-brother, especially a girl who believes her dad walked on water."
" I wish I knew what to tell you. "he told her as he ran his hands up and down her back.
" me to." she sighed, " I should get in there. I will call you tomorrow."
" you sure you don't want me to stay?"
" I will be fine, " she told him as she kissed him. " do not worry about me."
" you know I will, but I know you're a strong woman in you need to do this on your own. And I'm a phone call away, of you need me."
She smiled up at him, then kissed him one more time before walking back into her house. She walked into her living room, Rachel was siting on the couch, Brooke was sitting in the red chair beside the couch with her head in her hands. Peyton closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. " start talking" she said, as lean up against the door frame. Looking at Brooke.
Brooke looked up taking a deep breath, giving another look to Rachel, who nodded at her. " okay, I first want to start off my saying, I love you P. Sawyer. I mean that, after what I have to tell you, you are not going to believe me. But I need you to know I do, you are my best friend, and I am so sorry, in I will do whatever I have to do to make things right among us again, I promise."
" Brooke just tell me, it cannot be as bad as your first secret. " she looked among her to friends," can it?" she asked, as she noticed the look on their faces.
" I lie to you, Peyton. I was not drunk the night I hooked up with Marshall. He wasn't either. We both knew what we were doing. "
"Okay, so you two wasn't drunk when you hooked up, " she paused, " Brooke, I already accepted that you slept with him, I am ready to let the past stay in the past, It hurts, and it will probably always hurt, but I am done living in the past, I am ready to focus on my future and...
Brooke sighed loudly, this is what she has been wanting to happen. She wanted Peyton to let it go, but now she has to tell her the truth, Rachel right to get back on the right track with her, she has to come clean about everything. " It was not just one night Peyton." Brooke said, cutting her off.
" It happened more than once?" Peyton asked, as she crossed her arms over her chest, Brooke nodded, "How many times?"
" Um..." Brooke looked at Rachel who mouth tell her " I can't really give you a number, but we continue it for three years"
Peyton eyes went wide, " excuse me?" she asked clearly confused, three years that's impossible. She was with him for four years. Which means three years out of the four years she was with him, he was cheating on her with her best friend" I don't understand... " Peyton began,
" I had a crush on Marshall, when we were freshman, but I never told you. I never told him either. I flirted a lot in he flirted with me, but it took me till our junior year actually to tell him I liked him." she stood up in started to paces. " he was different then all the other guys I dated or just had a one night stands with. He made me nervous, He made me laughed, he made me smile, he made me feel things I never felt before, that is why it took me so long to talk to him. But when I did he said he had a girlfriend, that I learned later on it was you."
Peyton stared at her, she didn't know what to say. This was the last thing she ever expected to hear.
" that was why I was mad at you when you finally told me about your relationship with him. I was not mad because you didn't tell me I was mad cause I was envious you had what I wanted,"
" so you decided instead of talking to me, that you would go behind my back in start sleeping with him?"
" no "
" really cause that is what it sounds like to me."
" Peyton it was never plan to steal him from you, or go behind your back. It just happen " she pleaded with her.
" please explain to me how it just happens, cause apparently I am an airhead who cannot put this together."
" you guys have dated for like eight months. Well, the night of your eighth month anniversary. You two had that fight about sex and I told him that you were saving yourself for the right person and waiting till you got married. And been a normal guy he just wanted sex, so I told him I would sleep with him to help release some sexual tension. " Brooke told her with her head down, afraid to look at her.
"Seriously? "Peyton yelled, "You were the one that told me not to sleep with him, remember, I came to school that morning telling you that I think I was ready, and you said, no Peyton you're not, wait a bit longer if he loves you and cares about you the way he says he does, then he will wait for you. Peyton I do not want you to do something then regret it, I know you love him, but just wait a little longer, when the time is right you're know." She took a deep breath, " I didn't sleep with him, cause my so-called best friend told me not to, and we got into a huge fight over it, you knew we would fight, and he would go to that party were you were, you set it up."
"No" Brooke yelled." I did not plan on sleeping with him Peyton, " she yelled again, "when I saw him at the party he was drinking and I asked where you were then he told me about the fight, I told him to give you time. I was a little drunk and I can't explain why I say it, I wasn't thinking, and I didn't think he was going to take me up on it."
"Oh, Okay" she paused, " So since you were a little drunk and he was drunk and you can't explain why you say what you said, and you didn't think he was going to take you up on it. I should just forget the whole damn thing right?"
"No, cause it didn't stop after that night, we start to sleep together twice, maybe three times a week, when you were busy with school or working. You still wasn't sleeping with him and had needs and...
" I wasn't sleeping with him, because my best friend suggested I didn't, she kept putting things in my head, scarying me. " She shook her head, " I made him wait for a year, and I felt bad that I was doing that to him, and along he was getting his action from you, At least now I understand, why he quite pressing me."
" P. Sawye...
" Don't call me that!" Peyton yelled, " Only my best friend can call me that, and she left me years ago, " Peyton sighed loudly, " I cannot do this" she said as she started to walk away. Brooke covered her mouth, trying to hold herself together,
"Peyton you can leave yet" Rachel said, as she stood up
" Yes I can"
"Peyton, there is more, you need to hear everything"
"Rachel, I don't want to hear anymore, I can't hear anymore, "
" I know this hard, and Peyton I hate that you're getting hurt again, and upset over this, and I believe the past should stay in the past, but the truth always comes out, I just think its best to get it over now. So we can start over, with a clean...
" Hell NO! " Peyton said, facing brooke. " We ain;t starting over nothing, I'm done, I'm so done." She wiped her eyes, "What else could she possible have to tell me." Peyton asked, as she looked back at Brooke who was now crying,
" I was the reason he never made it to your wedding." Brooke whispered, as a few tears fell from her blood-shot eyes.
