I wouldn't have nothin' if I didn't have you

-If I Didn't Have You by Mitchel Musso and Emily Osment.
Peyton cried into Lucas' arms all night until she eventually fell asleep. Lucas was angry. Angry at himself for letting this happen to his wife. Angry at freakin' "Derek" for being a pervert. Angry that this entire situation happened to her. Peyton Sawyer had been through enough already. So why did this have to happen? Why was it always her who suffered the most pain out of anyone he knows? Why couldn't it be different? Lucas wished he could make her pain go away. He wished that Derek would suffer in prison. Lucas finally fell asleep, but only to wake up a few minutes later to Peyton screaming.
"Peyton! Peyton!!" Lucas tried to wake her up. Peyton was screaming like her life depended on it.
Peyton just didn't wake up until Lucas poured some water over her face. She sat up with water dripping all over her face. Lucas could tell that most of the water falling over her face was tears. Peyton crumbled once again into Lucas' arms.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Lucas questioned while holding Peyton in his arms.
Peyton just nodded into his chest and held onto Lucas tighter. After about 30 minutes, Lucas decided to speak again.
"Let's go to bed. I'm tired and I know you must be exhausted."
Peyton just got out of Lucas' arms and stood up.
"I'm fine. I need to finish some homework anyway."
"Peyt.. you can't do homework after what happene-" Lucas started while getting off the couch.
"I know I can't ignore what happened Lucas, but I got homework to finish and I'm sure you do too."
Peyton went to the table and pulled out her laptop. She turned it on and waited. Lucas just stared at Peyton. He knew she was being emotional after what happened. He was amazed that she could even think about homework. Lucas knew he couldn't after the events tonight, so he knew that she couldn't either.
"Peyton, come on. Please. Do it for me." Lucas begged while walking over to his wife who was typing on the computer like there was no tomorrow.
"My English report.."
"Can wait until tomorrow. We can explain to the teachers Peyton."
Peyton stared off into the distance until she finally saved her work and shut down the laptop.
"Fine."
She got up and went into the bedroom. He followed her and went into the bathroom. She was there brushing her teeth. She finished quickly and went to the bedroom to change clothes. Lucas brushed his teeth then went back into the bedroom where he found Peyton already under the covers of their bed. He quickly changed clothes and got in the bed with her. She laid her head on his chest and tried not to think about "Derek". After a few minutes of silence, Peyton's cell phone rang. When You Were Young played loudly through the apartment. Peyton got up and went to get it.
"Hello?" said a slightly annoyed Peyton. She was almost asleep without thinking about him.
"Whoa Haley slow down!"
Lucas quickly got out of bed and ran into the living room where Peyton was talking on her cell.
"we'll be right there." Peyton said and closed her phone.
Lucas looked at Peyton and asked, "What happened?"
Peyton took a deep breath and said, "Brooke, Nathan, and Haley were in a car accident. Brooke and Nathan are in a coma. They don't know if they'll make it."
AN: Hope ya'll liked it!
