Episode 3 Chapter 4 Truths

Peyton walks into the house. "Lucas," she yells for him. "Lucas..Lucas…Lucas…."

"What?" Lucas walks down the stairs. "What's with all the screaming? We do have a sleeping son."

"This is serious Lucas." She pulls him into the office. "I don't know what to do."

"Okay…could you please tell me what's wrong?"

"I thought she was out of our lives forever."

Lucas still didn't know what was wrong.

"Who?"

"Lindsay," she hands him the letter.

Lucas just stares at it. "Oh…" He didn't know what else to say.

…

Miranda opens her apartment door to see Spencer. "You're early."

"Actually I wanted to talk to you."

"Daddy," Scarlett walked into the room. "I'm not ready to leave."

"You don't have too Scarlett. You can stay with Miranda for as long as you want."

Miranda was shocked.

…

Lily and Millie are walking.

"I know exactly what you are going to say."

"Really?"

"Yeah…You were just like me when you were my age, and you regret it." Millie stopped walking.

"Okay yeah Millie…I regret the kind of person I was when I was your age. And I wish I would have waited…I wish Spencer could have been my one and only."

Millie shook her head. "My dad shouldn't have sent you to talk to me Lily. You are my role model. I mean you slept around and did whatever the hell you wanted too and you have the perfect life now. I strive to be just like you."

"My life is not perfect." Lily shook her head. "I wish I would have been a better person. And I know you are going to wish the same thing one day."

"Yeah I doubt it. I like who I am."

Millie steps away from Lily. "I'm going to be who I want to be and there is not a damn thing that you can do about it." Millie walks away.

Lily sighs. That's not the way that conversation was supposed to go.

…

"I'm sorry about what happened with your daughter." Joey started to explain.

"What exactly happened to my daughter?"

"I can be ass sometimes, and I knew that she was drunk and that she would probably put out."

"I think I need to kick your ass." Nathan stood up.

"Wait…I know I took a big risk coming here today, but you have to know the truth. I never even touched your daughter once we got up to that room. She passed out while I was in the bathroom. And I didn't give her any kind of pill." He sighed, "I would never do that to a girl. I'm not that kind of guy."

"Why are you telling me all of this if nothing happened?"

"Because I think your daughter has a problem…She told me today that she was going to tell everyone that I raped her. So I just wanted you to know the truth."

"What if I don't believe you?"

"I would not have come in here if I really would have done any kind of harm to your daughter. I thought you would want to know the truth."

Nathan sighed. "I believe you."

"Thank you."

"But you better stay away from my daughter. I never want to see you around her ever again."

"Yes sir…"

He shakes his head. "And word to the wise…girls just want to be loved."

"Yes sir…I know that." Joey walked out of the house.

Nathan closed the door. "Now I have to go find my daughter." He couldn't believe how much trouble Millie was causing in the town of Tree Hill.

…

McKenzie walks up to her front porch with Ally in her arms. "Hey," Mark stands up from the porch swing.

"Oh hey…what are you doing here?"

"I was hoping we could spend some time together." He smiled. "But I see that you have Ally."

"Yeah Hunter had some things to do so I am going to keep her for the night."

"You could call a babysitter. Or maybe my parents could watch her."

"That's okay Mark. I want to spend some time with her."

Mark nods. "Right…" She always wanted to spend time with someone other than him.

"But we can go out tomorrow. It will be fun. Or you could go get Levi, and we could all hang out.

"I think I'm just going to go."

"Wait…don't…Mark, are you okay?"

He walks over to her and kisses her. "Yeah I'm fine. I'll see you tomorrow."

McKenzie nodded. She got the feeling that things were definitely changing for them.

….

Smith was still on one knee. "Say something…anything."

"I want to be with you forever, but there is no way my dad would go along with this. He would forbid us from getting married."

"Clare…don't say no to me just because of your father…Say yes and we will figure everything out."

"Are you only asking because you have to leave?"

He stands up and touches her face. "No…I'm asking you because I love you, and because I can't imagine not being with you. I want to be your husband."

Clare smiled. "I want to be your wife."

"So is that a yes?"

"Of course…Yes!"

Smith jumped up and down and placed the ring on her finger.

…

Noah and Elizabeth were sitting next to their sick daughter's crib. She had been admitted to the hospital, and they had placed an IV into her little arm. Elizabeth had to hold her hand as she screamed.

Elizabeth was freaking out. She was so afraid that she was going to lose her little girl.

"Do you think we should call our parents?"

"No…I want to wait until after we talk to the doctor. I don't want to worry them."

"Elizabeth," he wiped away a tear from her eye. "She is going to be fine. She is a fighter just like you."

He wanted to make all her fears go away, but he couldn't. In all honesty, he was freaking out inside too. He didn't want to lose his precious little girl.

…

"Hey," Drake said as he walked into Savannah's house.

"What are you doing here?" Savannah was still freaking out about the missing later.

"I thought we were going to hang out."

"I can't hang out with you. I have to freak out."

"Okay…but why?" He touched her shoulder.

"Because my brother's life is about to change drastically, and he may hate me forever."

Drake was confused, but he hugged her anyway. He felt it might help the situation, and he loved hugging her.

…..

Lucas puts down the letter. "Wow…She makes it sound like she has sent a lot of these letters."

"Yeah Lucas…What are we going to do? I don't want this bitch anywhere near my son."

Lucas doesn't say anything.

"Oh but wait…He is not my son. Charlie isn't my son. He is hers, and…" Peyton was so upset. "The truth is he isn't my son…He is your son…But he isn't mine."

Charlie was standing at the door. He overheard her. He ran upstairs.

"What was that?" Lucas had heard him.

Peyton shrugged. "I love Charlie so much Lucas. I don't want anyone to take him away from me."

Lucas held her in his arms. He wasn't going to let that happen.

….

Brooke and Melinda are now sitting down in Melinda's office. "Brooke…I have no idea where he is."

"I have to find him. I need to see him."

"Brooke, he won't be Chase."

"I know, but I just want to see him. I…" She shakes her head. "You know I have never even told anyone about this. I never even told Chase, and now…He can never find out that he had a twin brother." Brooke wipes her tears away.

…
