Peyton was so happy that detention was over, She wasn't so happy about going home, her mom was going to be upset with her. She walk outside entering the hot spring weather, Nathan was standing by a the brick wall. Peyton had to admit he was cute, with his blues and black hair, in the smile was amazing, but Lucas was a whole different story,
"Hey" Nathan said, as he walked over to the curly blond " how was your first detention"
" okay, it's not like I haven't had detention before, I'm not a good girl" she said, with smile and a wink
" yeah, I can tell" he said, as he step back looking her up in down, " so do you need a ride"
" yes, if you don't mind?" she answered
" no I sure don't mind, taking a beautiful girl home," he said, in a low husky voice,
Nathan reached for hand, which Peyton gladly appected. They walked of to a blue Mercedes-Benza " WOW" Peyton said, as he open the door for her
" It was a birthday gift, from my dad" He said, as he closed the door then walked over to the driver side. He closed his door, " See my dad is cheating on my mom, I caught him, so this was his way
" to keep you quite" Peyton finished for him,
Nathan nodded, " Yeah, I really, don't see what the point is, hell mom is cheating on him too, My family is pretty screwed up?" he said, as he shake his head
" what family isn't, everyone has problem's," she sighed, she looked at her window as Nathan pulled out of the parking lot. She noticed Lucas standing up against the same wall that Nathan was standing against, when she come out. He look so mad, angry, but mostly sad, " I'm why didn't you give your brother a ride home" she asked,
" Oh. his girlfriend will pick him up, " he said, as he looked over at her, as her eyes widen
" OH, ..." she paused," he has a girlfriend, he didn't mention that" her voice was laced with shock, and sadness
Nathan nodded, he knew she like him, That's why he had to lie to her, so he could get to know her, " yeah, they are pretty serious, " he lied again, He watched as she nodded her head.
" Hey Peyton. you are a beautiful, girl, I would love to get to know you, you seem pretty nice, down to earth kinda girl, plus you know how to put people in there place, My kinda of girl" he smiled.
Peyton's heart nearly melted at the sight. I was wondering if, maybe you wanted to go out sometime. You know, on a date. I could buy you dinner or something." he asked.
" Um, yeah, sure." she answered.
They pull up side Peyton's house, well in Peyton's mind it's "Bruce's house" " Thank you, for the ride, Nathan, " she got out of his car,
" your welcome, If you want I can give you a ride to school tomorrow, " he asked, hopefully
" yeah, that would be great, I hate riding the bus," she admit
" good, I'll see you in the Morin than," he said, as he wave then slowly pull out of her driveway,
Peyton stood there smiling as she watched Nathan leave, Nathan seem pretty great, she couldn't believe he asked her out,
Peyton walked into Bruce's house smiling bigger than she had since she come to this little town. As she started to walk upstairs, She was pulled back,
" Who were you with ?" he asked suspiciously.
" A friend." she answered bluntly.
Bruce pushed Peyton to the Floor and grabbed her wrist tightly, " Don't lie to me sweetheart." he said through clenched teeth, " Who were you with? answer me now"
" Why would you care, he just a friend, and not call me sweetheart? ." Peyton spat angrily.
Bruce slapped her across the face, " Who is it? Who's the mother-fucker?" he pulled her to her feet and pinned her to the wall. He began to choke her, " Who the hell is he?"
" I can't... breath," she gasped for breath, " let... go."
Suddenly, as if realizing what he was doing, he let go of Peyton, she tried to catch her breath. " I'm sorry ,." he stroked her blond hair, " you know I love your mom so much I just wanted to keep you safe to." he whispered, " I'd never hurt you if I didn't. I love you just like you were my own daughter."
The door bell rang, Bruce look out the side window, notices Lucas standing there
Bruce looked at her, " Tell him anything about this and I'll deny it. It's your word against everyone else. You fell, I caught you. Got it?" he glared at her then got up to answer the door. " Hi Lucas Good to see you!" he said as he walked in.
" Oh, hi Bruce. How have you been ?" Lucas asked.
" I've been pretty good, now that my two favorite people our living with me, he said, with a fake smile " well I better get going though, see you guys later." he left.
Lucas walked into living room to see her on the ground crying, " Oh God, Peyton? What happened?"
" I... I fell... I told you I was the worlds biggest klutz ... I.." she burst into sobs.
" Shh, shh. It's ok. It's ok. . It's ok." Lucas soothed Peyton. He wasn't sure what was going on, all he knew was she looked so scared, lonely and confused, He just wanted to help her. So he sat there holding her close to him, As he felt her hot tears through his light blue shirt
Peyton couldn't believe, she was breaking down in front of a stranger a boy she just meet, She wanted to pull away, kick him out of her house, but she couldn't, he made her feel so safe in his arms, she love the way he was whispering to her that it will be ok, Even though he didn't know what actually happen.
Later the night after Peyton's little break down, she remain up in her room, she was staving, but was to afraid to come down stairs, She walked over to her window, The sunset was just about down, she looked over in at Lucas's house. She seen him sitting on his front porch, A smile graced her face. She watched him for a moment or so. She grab her jacket then slowly walked down stairs trying not to make a sound. Bruce was in the living watching so game, he was half a sleep. She slowly open the door stepping out into the crisp cool spring night.
" hey." she said, as she walked over, to were Lucas was sitting
" Hey, " he said, shocked that she came over, since she push him away from her couple of hours ago. He was happy to see that she wasn't crying anymore.
" can I join you" she asked,
" yeah"
She sat down beside him, ignored the spark that shot though her when their elbows touch, They sat there in silences for a while
" I'm sorry, about early." she whisper,
"It's okay, " he nodded, " so are you okay, now"
" yeah, I'm " so lied" I guess I'm just missing my old home, and my friends, a new place can really make you miss the little things," she said, looking down at her shoe
" yeah, I know it was the same when my mom, make me move here, a couple of years ago" he said, looking over at Peyton
Peyton looked up at him, " why did you move here?" she asked boldly.
" They same reason for why you moved here" he said, watching her face turn from questionably to confuse.
" My mom when to her high school reunion, she reconnect with my dad, he never knew she was pregnant, she kept it quite, right after graduation she moved out of town, never told a soul" he paused " Then she when to the reunion they both realized that they still loved each other, So the next thing I know I'm been force to a new town, a whole new life, don't get me wrong I love my dad, I love my mom more," he said, with a laugh " but I wasn't ready for a brother, hell they never even told me about Nathan, till the day I got to town, It was lot to take in, but Nathan in I get along great sometimes" he finished,
Peyton was trying to come up with something to say, but she couldn't speak under his gaze, There eyes were readied each other " So I told you something about me, now it's your turn" he said, eyes still locked, she nodded,
" Hey Peyton" Nathan said, as he walked out on to the porch, both blonds jump at the sound of his voice
"Hey Nathan" Peyton said, as she finally broke her eyes away for Lucas
" what are you guys, doing?" Nathan asked, as he sat down on the other side of Peyton,
" nothing, just talking" Peyton said, as she looked down at her shoes " I guess I sure.....um get going" she stood up. Both guys stood up with her
" Thanks, for listening Peyton, I hope we can do this again sometime" Lucas said, in caring voice,
" yeah, me too" Peyton whisper, as she look over at Lucas,
Nathan didn't like the looks they were giving each other, she was suppose to be into him not his brother, So he deside to make Lucas upset,
" Well, goodnight Peyton, I will see you in the morning," Nathan said, as he kissed Peyton on the cheek then whisper " I can't wait for our date, it's going to be amazing night" he said, as he kissed her hand, then turn around just in time to see Lucas's face down
" um.... so he's taking you to school, now" Lucas asked,
" yeah, he offered in I weather not ride the big yellow bus, " Peyton said, with a laugh, " then he asked me about going out with him sometime, he seem pretty nice" she fished,wishing she never said the last part, she swear she saw hurt in sadness in his eyes, but why would he care, he has a girlfriend.
" yeah, well I got to go, so I guess I''l see you around," he said, as he walked back in the house slamming the door.
Peyton was surprise as the door slammed, she didn't want to hurt Lucas's but Nathan was a sweet guy, It wasn't like anything was going to happen between her and Lucas he had a girlfriend. Peyton walked back over to Bruce's house" She walked in to the kitchen. She was so relieved, when she seen her mom.
" Hey mom" Peyton said, as she looked around making sure Bruce wasn't around
" NOT HEY MOM ME, PEYTON" she said angrily " HOW IN THE HELL COULD YOU GET DETENTION ON YOUR FIRST DAMN, DAY AT A NEW SCHOOL"
"Mom, I just was having a bad day ok, the teacher made a comment, so I made one back, Mine was better than his, everyone laughed at my comment, he was just mad" Peyton said, as she reached for a roll of the table
" Peyton, we are not doing this here, I can't put up with you, pulling the same shit you did at the other school, I know you are upset with me about the move, But I will not let you get out of control, like the last school" she said,
" whatever" Peyton rolled her eyes " What doesn't it matter?" she asked" come on mom, it's not like you are really going to marry this jackass" Peyton said, angrily
Anne walked over to Peyton, she grab a hold of her arm " LISTEN TO ME, I LOVE BRUCE, HE LOVES ME, WE ARE GETTING MARRIED, WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" she asked, in a serous tone
" yeah, if you say so" Peyton, muttered sarcastically " can I have my arm back down, I would like to go to bed" she said, in a coldly voice
Annie shook her head " I don't know, why you hate me so much, all I did was try to be a good mother" she said, as she let go of Peyton's arm
" yeah, A good mother, yeah, if you say, last I check a good mother, didn't stand around in let her boyfriend, beat the shit out of her daughter" Peyton said, with so much anger and coldness in her voice and eyes.
" Damn Peyton, I told you I didn't know, I told you I was sorry, and I would never put you through something like that again, " Anne said, as the tears run down her face.
Peyton walked over to her in wrap her arms around her something she hasn't done. Since she was a little girl. she cry on her moms shoulder,
" I know, but mom " Peyton begin, she wanted to tell her mom about today
" what's going on here?" Bruce asked as he walked into the kitchen. looking at the two crying, his eyes narrow to Peyton.
" Oh, nothing just some girl talk," Anne said, as she winked at Peyton," dinner is almost ready" she said as she walked back over to the stove
Peyton look over at Bruce who's eyes were looking her up in down, she felt really sick," mom, I'm don't really hungry, so I got alot of homework" she said, as she started to walk out of the kitchen
" okay, " Anne said, as she walked over to Bruce, she wrap her arms around his waist, " I'm really worried about her"
" yeah, me too, but don't worry" he kissed the top of her head " I will kept my eye on her"
Peyton laid on her bed, she couldn't get Bruce's eyes out of her mind, she wanted to tell her mom so bad, but she didn't believe her last time. why would she believe her now.
