Age Is Just A Number
Chapter 13 The Truth Is Finally Out.
"OH MY GOD!" Brooke said, like twenty times, as she was looking around the classroom for her clothes. She was nervous and definitely shocked, she just could believe that Nathan walked in on them, Especially since, she has spent the last two months teasing Peyton. Telling her that Chase and her would never get caught because, they were good, they knew how to stay low.
"I can't believe you man, first Lucas now you. Have you two fucking lost your minds?" Nathan yelled, as he shook his head in disappointment. Brooke finishing getting dressed, in ran out of the classroom, Chase was pissed that she left him to deal with Nathan alone, but although he knew she was scared.
"Look, I can't explain it, I like Brooke and, she likes me, and we are go together. Just like Luke and Peyt," Chase said, as he put his shirt back on.
"NO, you like the sex Chase, Lucas too, You two are just lonely and fell into a very bad choice. And those girls don't love you, They are young in the don't know the first thing about love. This is just game to them, open your eyes, once the school year is over. both girls will be gone. Where will that leave you and Luke, Huh?" Nathan asked, as he walked over to him. "I'm just trying to help you out here man."
Chase just stood there taking in everything he just said, He then realized that Nath, might have appoint. Both girls are amazing and they both said they wanted to get out of Tree Hill. So where does that leave him? if Brooke decide to move across the country, What will happen to Lucas, he is in deeper then he was. This was definitely allot to thing about, since graduation was like five months away.
Peyton thought of a million ways to get Haley, off her back. Each beginning with a lie and ending with a lie. But apart of her a big part, wanted to let the truth out. She was kinda happy that Nathan knew and Karen knew a bit and, now Haley knew. With them knowing it kinda of made their relationship real. She like that allot.
"I'm not going to lie. Lucas in I are together. It is more than a sexual relationship to. We are in love and, no matter what you or Nathan, or anyone else has to say about us. We don't care, we are together and we plan on staying that way for a very long time." Peyton said, in her most serious tone. She had fire in her eyes, and a smile on her face. She wanted Haley to know she was serous.
Haley shook her head, then crossed her arms over her chest. "You are sevent...
"Eighteen," Peyton said, cutting her off, "Today is my birthday, So I'm not seventeen anymore, And it doesn't matter if I was because, Lucas and I looked it up, we are not doing anything wrong."
"I know I looked it up to," Haley said, in a loud tone, "After Lucas told Nathan that. But Peyton your relationship with Lucas is still wrong. He is coach, you are his student...
"I'm not his student, he doesn't teach me anything." Peyton said, cutting Haley off again. " I don't have him for any of my classes, The only time I see him is on cheer-leading practices days, and game night. Anything we do outside of this school, isn't any ones busy." Peyton said, as she stood up looking at Haley.
"The hell it ain't, Peyton I love Lucas very much, and he loves coaching, if someone like, another student, parent, teacher, or coworker found out about you two. His career is over, do you get that, he will have nothing, no one will hire him." Haley practically yelled, causing Peyton to step back a little.
"Look, I get his job is on the line, we have actually talked about it. What will happen if we get caught. He said, that he rather lost his job, then lose me. I believe him, He loves coaching ,I know, But he loves me more." Peyton said, with all the confidence in the world.
Haley was shocked, she didn't see this coming at all. "I can't tell you to stop because, I know you or Lucas won't listen. But Peyton you are playing with fire. Something is going to happen, and I don't want you to get hurt or Lucas, So please think about what I'm saying, End things with him now, Please"
"No, I love him, and he loves me. We are going to make this work. Relationship are not easy I know that. But I feel like I can walk on water, that I can fly like a bird, when I'm around him. He makes me feel safe and I'm so happy, I haven't been this happy since I lost my parents. I'm sorry Mrs. Scott, But I refused to end things, just because, you don't believe what we have is real. I believe in are love, Lucas believes in are love, and that's are that matters." She finished, then grabbed her self, "Are we done, I have somewhere to be."
"Yeah, "Haley said, in disappointed tone. She stood there as Peyton walked at of the room. "Well, time for plan B." she said, to herself, as she sat down.
Peyton drove to the beach house smiling, she was happy that she didn't let Haley scare her. Make her push the best thing in her life away. She loves Lucas, and she knows, with all her heart, that Lucas loves her.
"Oh God, thank god your here." Brooke said, as she ran at to her best friends car. She was pulling Peyton out the car.
"Brooke, slow down before you pull my arm out of its socked. " Peyton teased, Brooke glared, making Peyton aware that something was wrong. "What happen?"
"Chase and I was in his classroom, kissing in one thing lean-to another, Then I was naked,...
"Brooke, skip the details, just tell me why you are so upset?" Peyton pleaded, as they started to walk down the beach.
"Okay, we were on his desk, then..." She trailed off, looking down at the sand. "Your not the only one that got caught, by Mr Noise." She said, getting to the point,then she looked up at her. Peyton was confused, as she stared at Brooke, then like a bolt of lighting it hit her.
"OH MY GOD,Nathan caught you two" She laughed, as Brooke nodded, "Wow..you got caught red handed huh?" She continued to laugh,
"Peyton, this is not funny, I didn't laugh when he caught you and Luke."
"No, because he just hear moans between Luke and me. He saw you naked and, in action with his brother, which is totally worst then my and Lucas's problem."
"I hate you." Brooke said, as stormed aways. Peyton kept on Laughing, then ran up to the beach house to apologies.
Later that night both girls were siting on the beach, watching the waves. They spent the afternoon talking in laughing, Peyton told Brooke about her little conversation with Haley, Brooke was shocked that Peyton came out with everything. She questioned, Peyton about Luke, wondering if Luke was going to be upset with her telling Haley. Peyton just bit her lip, she didn't think about that. so now she was worried about his reaction.
"Hello," Brooke said, answering her phone, as it took Peyton out of her thoughts. "Okay,hold on a second."She said, to the person on the phone. then turn towards her best friend. "It's Chase, he said he needs to talk, so I'm going to take it in the house." she said, as Peyton nodded, Brooke ran up to the house, as Peyton looked back at the ocean.
"Your to beautiful, to be sitting on an empty beach in the dark. " Lucas said, as he sat down beside her, she smiled,"Something, could happen to you, then I would be lost, because your my world." he said, seriously as he kissed her sweetly.
"Your mine to," She whispered, as she lay her head, on his shoulder. Smiling as he kissed the top of her head. "Lucas, can I asks you something?" she asked, in a little nervous voice.
"Yeah, Babe, asks me anything." He said, as he pulled her closer. He felt her take a deep breath, He wondered what was on her mind. "Peyton, baby you okay?" He asked, as her silent start to scare him. He pulled back in lifted her head, so he could look in her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"I was just wondering, if someone ever found out about us. And you lost your job, would you hate me?" She asked, as she looked down at the sand. Lucas was taken back by that question.
"Peyt, I could never hate you, I love you, sweetheart. I told you before, let them fire me, As long as I got you beside me, nothing else matters." He said, as he kissed her.
"Haley knows." She whispered against his lips, as they broke apart.
"Yeah, I know, she came storming in my office, right after your little chat. Telling me that I had you brainwashed, that I needed to end things with you, before, something happens that will totally be out of our hands." he smiled. "That's why I came to see you, I needed to know you were okay."
"I'm fine." She said, as smiled up at him. "What did you say to her?" she needed to know, just to make sure they were on the same page.
"I told her to let the world throw, whatever they want at us, Because we can handle anything together. Right?" He smiled again, as she kissed him. They sat on the beach wrapped up in each others arms, not care who walked by. They were tried of hiding, they were in love in wanted the world to know. They are strong enough to take on whatever happens next.
"I'm glad you stood up for us, I kinda thought that Haley would scare you enough to make you push me away." Lucas said, as they locked eyes.
"I love you. you fight for people you love right?" Peyton replied back in a low whisper.
"Right, I love you too" He said, as their lips join again.
Nathan and Haley were laying in bed, both completely shocked about what Chase and Lucas got themselves into. Nathan was a little happy, because he knew deep down that he got inside Chase's head today. He was pretty sure, that Chase will be ending things with Brooke soon. Lucas was a different story, Haley learned today that Peyton wasn't backing down neither was Lucas.
"So what do we do now?" Nathan asked, his wife. as he played with her hair.
"Well, we play hard ball." she said, as she moved closer to him. "I called Lindsey, she knows the plan." Haley said, as closed her eyes.
"But, what if Peyton doesn't buy the whole Lindsey thing?"
"I got a back up plan, that I know will put some distances between the two. " she said, before kissing him goodnight, the falling asleep.
Nathan looked over at his now sleeping wife, He was wondering if they should really do this or not. Peyton was a nice girl, he hasn't seen his brother happy in a long time. But Haley said, that they need to step in before something bad happen, Haley is usually right about everything, so Nathan agree to go along with Haley and Lindsey plan to break the happy couple up. He just hopes it doesn't back fires.
