AN: I know I'm the worst author ever for not updating, but life has been extremely hectic; between school, work, family problems, and friend problems I haven't had the time to write. But I do have ideas and outline's for all of my stories, so no matter how long it takes me to update between chapters, I will never forget about the stories. So this is my first time writing Jeyton, so give me a chance with it. Thanks to all those that read and reviewed last chapter, as always I don't own anything.

Chapter 15 ~ "I can't believe you were the one to build me up and tear me down…"

(Jake POV)

As soon as I heard the front door slam, I knew that something wasn't right. Peyton wasn't supposed to be home for another 3 weeks. Naturally I started to get worried, especially when Peyton started to throw her bags all over the place and her keys across the room. So I proceeded with caution because she gets feisty when she's angry and it's been intensified with the pregnancy.

"Hey babe…"

"Hi." Peyton shot back, still fired up.

"What's wrong?" I ask obviously, concerned and attempting to diminish her anger and soothe her fears.

(Peyton POV)

When Jake took me in his arms, my body automatically relaxed; even though I was fighting every once of that. My mind was racing about what Brooke did and what I said. Oh god, the kids saw that. Lily and Landon are gonna be so confused and upset; they shouldn't have seen that. I will admit that that part is my fault, but Brooke is at fault with everything else.

"Hey, look at me…" Jake said cupping my face so sweetly and caring. "Talk to me, I only want to help."

"Brooke and I got into this fight when I went to take her and the babies home."

"Wait, slow down; take them home?"

"Yea, when I got there Lily was sick; she just had a little cold. So I took her and Landon back to their house, they were at the babysitters. Not soon after that Luke came home with such a smile on his face; I swear, I've never seen him that happy before. I asked him how everyone was doing, and he replied that Brooke and both babies are fine and that Brooke would tell me the names. At first I was a little suspicious about that, but it's Brook we are talking about so it left my mind. Luke and I decided that if Lily was feeling better in the morning, that I would take her to go see Brooke. But if she wasn't then I would take her and Landon the next day to bring Brooke and the babies home because Luke had a meeting with his editors about his latest book. The next day came along and Lily still wasn't fully recovered, so I just spent the day with my godchildren while Lucas went to the hospital. And that day was so great. It made me even more excited for this one to come." I said as I put my hand on my stomach, and instinctively Jake put his hand on top of mine. "So I went to the hospital the next day, and Brook was sitting on the bed with the baby girl in her hand, I think. Lily was so happy to see her and be a big sister again; Landon was just kind of out-of-it because he just got up from his nap. Then all of a sudden Brooke started talking about my weight and how I looked like she did. I had it, once those words left her mouth. She was so rude for the entire comment and I can't believe she would do something like that.

"So you left the hospital and came here?"

"Mhm, I yelled at her and then left as fast as I could."

"Awww… babe come here." Jake said, embracing me in a hug. He knew that I was wrong for my actions due to the hormones, but he still comforted me like I did nothing wrong. "It's ok, all that matters is that I love you."

"I know, I just feel so bad for the kids having to see that."

"I know you do and that's why I love you, but its Lucas and Brooke we are talking about, those kids must have been through fights before."

"Yea, I guess you're right." I said forcing a smile because I knew that he was right.

"Why don't you put your feet up and relax, while I cook us some dinner."

"I would love that, thanks baby. I don't know what I would do without you."

"Same here." Jake said kissing me.
