Chapter 5 The Secret Is Out Part One

School has been in session for a whole week Peyton and Lucas were together every night at her house. She still hasn't told him anything, she figured it would come to her when the time was right. Randy was to busy with basketball, so he didn't question when Peyton talked Brooke into them having cheer leading practices on the football, so she didn't have to see Lucas. She stay away from the coaches offices and, the teacher lounge. She even ate lunch in her car. She was doing a great job avoiding him so far, but little did she know that the truth was about to hit the fan.


Brooke broke-up with Kevin the day after, Chase told her that it was more than sex between them. Micheal took it pretty hard, he was in love with her, he told her over in over hoping it will change her mind. She felt bad when she told him that she liked him a lot, but she wasn't in love with him. It was the hardest thing she has ever had to do. Her and Chase started dating, two days later everything was going great. Chase was still living in South Carolina, they were happy. Till last night after he told her that he could fall in love with her. Brooke felt really guilt, she knew it was time to confess.

"Hey Baby," Chase said, as he walked in to Brooke's room

"Hey" Brooke said, sadly

"What's wrong?" he asked, noticing her red eyes.

"I have something to tell you" she replied, in the same voice. She walked over to the window

"Whatever, it is you can tell me Babe" He said, as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Your going to hate me, but I have to tell you because, I really like you and you deserve the truth." she pulled away from him

"Brooke, I could never h...

"Chase." she sighed, "Please let me talk" she took a deep breath. "I really like you and, I hope that this doesn't change what is going on between us. I'm not twenty-one, like I told you" she looked up at him. She could tell he was confused.

"Okay, so your twenty-two or twenty-three, I don't care if you thirty or...

"Seventeen" she whispered, as she looked down at the floor.

His eyes widen, as he took in what she said. "Seventeen, seventeen,seventeen" he kept repeating. Like he was trying to convince himself.

"I'm sorry, I didn't k...

"Don't" he yelled, stopping her, as he walked towards the door. "I can't believe, I was actually falling for you, God I'm a fucking moron" he opens the door.

"Chase, please let's talk about this" she begged, as the tears ran down her fast.

"No, I don't have a damn thing to say to you" He walked out slamming the door behind him. She fell to her bed crying. Her door popped back open. "Is Peyton seventeen to" he asked, in a voice full of hate. he didn't even look at her. That's what hurt her the most.

"Yeah," was all she could say.

"I can't believe this shit, I hope you two had your fucking fun with our hearts." he slams the door shut again. Then she hears the slamming of the front door.

The cheerful, fun, crazy Brooke Davis was now lonely, and heartbroken.


Peyton walked into the apartment about an hour later. She spent the afternoon with Randy, she was actually thinking about breaking up with him. But she was afraid to be alone. She wants to be with Lucas, but she knew once the secrets was out, about Randy and been seventeen, in been a cheerleader at the school he coaches at. He would never want to be with her. She was in the kitchen when Brooke walked in.

"What happen?" Peyton asked, as she noticed Brooke's red eyes and flushed face.

"Chase knows" she whispered, Peyton pulls her close.

"Knows what" she asked, as she rubs her back

I really liked him Peyton, I couldn't keep lying to him." she cried harder

" I know you do, what did you tell him" she asked, she was still a little confused.

"I told him we are seventeen" she whispered, as she locked eyes with a very widen eyed Peyton. "I'm sorry Peyton"

Peyton's heart literally stop beating for a moment. As the words sunk in, she knew this day was coming. She just wasn't ready for it. She felt her eyes start to burn with tears. "um..." she didn't know what to say. She knows if Chase knows, Lucas sure knows now.

"Peyton, I'm sorry I don't know if he told Lucas or not, but he was pretty pissed so my guess is that he did." they stood there staring at each other. They both jumped at the sound of a loud knock.

"You go lay down, I get the door then I'll come lay with you" Peyton said, as she pushed Brooke towards her room. Then walked over in open the door to a very upset, hurt, angry Lucas.

"Is it true" he demanded, in a very angry tone.

Peyton closed her eyes, then whispered. "Yeah, it's true" she didn't open her eyes, she was too afraid to look at him.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he pushed past her. " seventeen, seventeen damn Peyton" he yelled, as he punched the wall. She jumped again. " You are fucking seventeen, you should have told me. Why lie to me?"

"I'm sorry Lucas, I was trying to, I was really, I'm so sorry." she said, as a couple of tears fell, they locked eyes. And for the first time she noticed his sky blue eyes were now a dark gray color, the brightness was gone, All she could see was the sadness, and the anger.

"Screw your fucking sorry" he yelled, "your seventeen, Peyton fucking seventeen years old. What we did was against the law, I could go to jail for this." he was now pacing back in forth

"Lucas, I never told no one, I wouldn't do that to you. I really like you Lucas" she said, as she walked over towards him. But he backs away. She was hurt when he did that.

"Like I believe anything you say now" he said, in a hateful voice. He wanted to leave, so badly, but his heart wasn't letting him.
