Prefect Match

Chapter 21

The silence was so deadening between the four of them. Lucas's eyes were locked on Christina, as he trying to figure out what she was up to. Peyton's eyes were locked on the infant in Emily's arms. She didn't know what to say or what to do, shocked doesn't even describe what she was feeling. All of sudden the temperature seem to rise or something , she was hot and having trouble breathing. " I need some air" she said in a painfully voice breaking the strained silence. She immendtily stood up, and turned toward the door surprised that she could even walk.

Lucas head snapped at the sound of the slamming door, he stood" Look, I'm not sure what the hell your up to, are why you doing this, but I will get to the bottom of it, but she comes first, I need to make sure she is okay..." he said nodding his head towards the direction Peyton went. " Then I'll handled you." he said in a direct voice.

Christina jumped at the sound of the door slamming again this time by Lucas, she closed her eyes. " You need to go set them straight" Emily told her with a serious look.

" Hey, it's not my fault that they just to conclusion " Christina said, as she stood up in lean her ear against the door, listening into the couples conversation

Emily shook her head, " You probably have that girl thinking Luke cheated on her or something. Chris you shouldn't be playing with people's feelings "

Peyton paced back and fourth the deck of Emily's house, so many things running through her mind. She wasn't to sure what to think, well what she was thinking couldn't be it. Cause it if was then that meant that Lucas lied to her again.

" Hey you okay?" He asked as he stepped out of the deck watching her,

She stopped pacing and looked at him like she had just had cold water thrown on her, or something. " Do I look okay?" she asked with a fire in her eyes that he hasn't seen before.

" No, " He said a little taken back by her tone. " Look I'm just as pissed as you are"

" Oh are you? " She asked, with her hands on her hips, " Cause I'm pretty sure that I'm a little more pissed off then you are, and I have every right to be to."

" And I don't?" he questioned clearly not understanding why she was yelling at him or acting like this. " Why are you allowed to be more pissed then me?"

" I can't believe your asking me this" she yelled, " Yeah she lied to you about having your baby, yes she should have called you and blah blah blah, but you lied to everyone Lucas, I'm starting to see lying is one of your favorite things..."

He gave her confused look, " What the hell are you talking about, I didn't lie to anyone Peyton, "

" You lied to Nathan, Haley, your parents, me and worst you lied to your daughter,"

" I didn't lie to anyone, I have no clue what you're talking about" He stepped closer to her, but she back away before he could touch her.

" You said, that they last time you seen Christina was the morning she left, you said you got up to go to work , and she was still sleeping and when you got home she was gone." she paused, trying to clam herself down. " All there was, was a letter, and that you haven't seen her, or spoke to her and six fucking years."

" Which is the truth" he said, his eyes widen as he started to realized what she was thinking, " Peyton no I

"Shut up Lucas," She yelled, interrupting him. " I should know better, seriously like a mother would really, not call, or write or send a postcard a text something. You have kept in touch and why you chose to lie about it. I guess I'll never understand, I opened myself up to you, I told you everything about me even things that Brooke and Rachel don't know, I trusted you and I felt so bad for you the way she left you and Katie, and what really gets me is your lied to Katie, she believes you haven't seen her mom either in six years. Why would you lie to her Lucas? She wants to know her mom so bad and yet you clam you had no contact with her, Which apparently was a fucking lie"

Lucas walked over to her and grabbed her arm, " Peyton, I didn't lie that is what happen, and she hasn't call or wrote or did anything in six years I swear this is the first time I've seen her in six years Peyton. I can't believe you think I would lie to you. You seriously got trust issues."

She pulled her arm away from him, giving him a cold glared, she then slapped him hard across the face. " Yes, I do have trust issues Lucas, Could it be because every guy I've ever trusted has lied to me hmm?" she asked as she folded her arms around herself, " Why wasn't you honest with me?"

Lucas was a little shocked by the slap, " I didn't lie Peyton" he said, as he rubbed the cheek she just slap. He walked to the edge of the deck putting some distances between them.

" Oh really, you said you haven't seen her in six years, and yet here she is with a baby that is no more than a month old, saying your the father. I'm pretty good at math Lucas, it doesn't take a genius to figure up when the baby was conveid "

" It's not my baby" he yelled again. " I swear it's not I take a fucking DNA just to prove it to you."

" You said you wasn't Marshall, you lied to me three times maybe more than that, everything you have ever told me was probably a lie" she said as she looked down. Tears slowing falling from her eyes. " You cheated on me just like he did, well maybe now cheated, cheated because we have only been dating for eight months, so you knocked her up before we actually became a couple but it still hurts, cause I thought we have something real between before we started dating. "

He sighed, as he walked back to her, " Peyton" he whispered, " I swear I haven't seen her in six years, I didn't cheat on you, and sweetheart we had something real the moment we first locked eyes, " He lift her chin she he could look in her eyes, but she had them closed. " I didn't lie to you, everything I have every said to you was the truth please believe that, you know I've only told you two lies which you are aware of now, and I promised you that I would never lie to you again and I meant that honey, " he paused, as he thought about what to say next..

" Can we leave " she asked, as she opened her eyes. She needed to get away from him and her, she needed to do some thinking.

" I need to talk to Christina I need.." He started, but stopped as he noticed the sadness in her eyes.

" Can we do it tomorrow?" she begged, " This is just too much for me to process right now, I need ro go lay down and do some thinking"

" Yeah," he whispered, as he stepped away from her, " You can go wait in the car in I'll tell them were leaving" she nodded, then started to walk down the steps.

" Wait" Emily said, as she step out on the deck, the couple looked at her. " Before you go there is something you both need to know."

" What?" Lucas asked

" Peyton, Luke isn't lying he didn't cheat on you, he loves you too much, your all he talks about, and he didn't lie to you either." She paused in looked inside her house like she was looking for someone " No one has seen Christina in six year including me, her own sister, she didn't keep in touch with me either. I was shocked to get a knock on my door at three in the morning and to see her standing on the other side with a baby," she took a deep breath, an again looked inside. " Peyton, Joshua isn't Lucas, she doesn't even know who the father is, "

" Why would she say he was then?" Peyton questioned

" I honestly don't know" she told the confused couple.

" Emily, this isn't making sense" Lucas said, as he cross his arms over his chest. " She came by the house tonight saying that she wanted her son to meet his sister and his father, which led us to believe she was talking about me. I thought she was pregnant when she left Tree Hill, and never told me, I came here tonght thinking I was going to meet a five and a half year old or something, "

" And she told me she wanted us to take him back to New York and raise him, Why would she wanted perfected strangers to raise her son." Peyton said

" Well, she has known Luke and his family forever, and you guys have Katie, she wanted Josh to be with his sister. She wants him to have a good life, to be raised right and loved, something she believes you guys can give."

" Why don't she raise him?" Peyton asked still a bit confused to why she didn't want her son. " I understand she was young when she had Katie and she was probably scared, but she's older now, and I think she would make a great mom, and this would be a great chance for her to get know her daughter."

Lucas looked at Peyton, " I agree" he said, Then looked back at Emily. " Katie has been asking so many questions about her mom, and I don't know what to tell her, I have no problem with Katie getting to know her mom or brother and of she needs help with anything I'm here for her."

" We're here for her" Peyton corrected him,as she touched his arm. Lucas just smiled at her.

" That sounds wonderful, Katie getting to know her mom, Christina spending sometime with her daughter. before..." Emily said, as tears started to flow down her cheeks. " But it's not going to happen" she cried.

" What are you talking about? What's not going to happen?" Lucas asked, as Peyton wrapped her arms around the crying women..

" Christina and Katie getting to know each other, it can't happen" She sodded " Emily..."

" Why can't it happen Emily? I don't understand what your...

" She dying Lucas" she cried into Peyton's arms. " She has only a few weeks or months, "
