Hello! This is the 8th chapter of my story.
"Never tear us apart" by INXS.
[Tric]
Peyton stood there, staring straight into the eyes of the boy she loved immensely. He was angry, upset and hurt but she didn't know why. She didn't even bother to think why he was like that. She couldn't even think. She stood there as her heart broke into a million pieces.
She finally found the strength to back away as she fought back the tears.
Mia stepped out of the office in time to see Peyton turn and walk away, not failing to notice Peyton's very obvious expression.
[Breyton's house]
"So is this what I think it is or is it something else?" Brooke asked, still holding the ring out.
"Well---"Julian was interrupted when Brooke's phone rang.
"Hold that thought." She told him and then answered her phone. "Brooke Davis."
"Brooke." Haley's frantic voice was what Brooke heard.
"Haley what's wrong?" Brooke asked, worried.
"I got a call from Mia and she was freaking out. She told me she saw Peyton run off and not looking too good." Haley explained.
"What do you mean? Was she drunk?" Brooke asked.
"I'm not sure but Mia said Peyton was with Lucas. Brooke, this doesn't sound good. Call me when she gets home, okay?" Haley told her.
"Okay but did you try her phone?" Brooke asked.
"I did but it always goes straight to voicemail." Haley was evidently anxious.
"Don't worry, Hales. I'll call you." Brooke said.
"Thanks." Haley said then hung up.
Brooke hung up, then looked at Julian and sighed.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Lucas Scott." Brooke said, pissed off.
[Peyton's car]
Tears fell from her eyes as she drove home.
[Peyton's office]
"You still love me, don't you?" she asked as she stepped closer then kissed him.
He held her arms, pushing her away but then pulled her back to kiss her.
[Luke's office]
"Do you hate me that much? You kiss me then propose to Lindsey. If you wanted to hurt me, there are a thousand other ways." She cried.
"It was just…weird timing." He reasoned out.
"Don't marry her, Luke." She pleaded.
"I love Lindsey." He said.

"It's a good story to be a part of. But it also took place a long time ago." He said.
"I'm not here to rehash the past." Peyton said.
"…the most perfect act of love is sacrifice. And that's what I'm going to do. Be happy, Luke. I want that with all my heart."
[Tric]
"Stay away from me." he slurred. "You ruined my life."
"I hate you. I wish you never came back."
His words kept replaying in her head. She couldn't understand anything anymore. Peyton cried and her hands were unsteadily gripping the wheel. Her thoughts were interrupted when she realized she was on the wrong lane and a car was approaching.
She was blinded by the head lights of the other car so she swerved back to the right lane. But she swerved a little too hard and it sent her off the road and toward a tree.
She was about to crash as she heard her phone ring.
[Bryeton's house]
Brooke paced as she waited for Peyton to pick up. Julian watched her with a worried expression.
"Hey, you've reached Peyton Sawyer. Just leave a message---"Brooke hung up upon hearing the voicemail yet again.
"Damn it. Where is she?" Brooke was clearly frustrated.
Julian looked down at his hand and on his palm was the ring Brooke found he accidentally dropped at the kitchen floor. It was the ring he had been holding onto for a while now.
He closed his palm and he held onto it tightly. He stared down at the floor sadly. He was very worried about Peyton Sawyer, the girl he was fighting for.
"I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart."
Thank you very much for reading! I know car accidents are over done but that's a one tree hill thing. A season is not complete without it.
More chapters, more drama, more romance, more revelations and more secrets.
There's a lot more in store so just keep reading.
Just a few more days and we'll get to see 6x17. I'm so excited!
