She didn't want to make friends. she want to drive her mom insane till she moved then back home. But now she has been her for three weeks in she is happier than she has ever been. She like the town and the school wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. She kept in touch with Brooke her best friend and now she has a second best friend. Haley and Peyton have grown very close sense the night Haley stay with her. It was now the day of Peyton's sixteen birthday. Bruce had talked her mom into letting her stay by herself while they were out of town. He also talked her into letting Peyton throw a party. Her mom agreed as long as Lucas's mom kept in eye on it. Peyton and Haley were blowing up balloons with there was a knock at the door.
Peyton walked to the door smiling as she opened it " BROOKE" she yelled as she pulled her best friend into a hug. "god I missed you"
"I missed you to, look at you North Carolina is making you skinny" Brooke teased, as she took in her best friends appearance. She look at her face notices the smile and the sparkle in her eyes. " Peyton you look" she paused " you look really happy"
" Because I'm really happy B."
" really, I'm what about Bruce? and the school? and the town?" Brooke questioned trying to see if Peyton was lying to her.
" Bruce has changed, he is nothing like Roger. I'm mean at first he was an ass,but he has been really good to me. He is the reason I'm having a party, and that my mom left me here alone while they are gone. School is great, the town is great. Everything is great" She said,as she pulled Brooke in to the living room.
" I'm glad your happy," Brooke said. as she looked around the room that was all decoration in black and purple balloons and streams. " So you did all this my yourself"
" no I helped her " Haley said,as she walked into the room. Smiling at the two. Peyton smiled as she walked over in pulled Haley over towards Brooke.
"Brooke, this is Haley James, Haley this is my best friend Brooke Davis" Peyton said, as she watch the two shake hands.
"So are you one of the reasons why Peyton's so happy?" Brooke question in a jealous voice. Haley raised her eye brow, she noticed the tone, but was interruptered before she could speak.
" Were back" Lucas yelled as he in Nathan walked into the room. Brooke eyed both boys smiling at them. She noticed the way Nathan was keeping his head turned like he felt really unconformable. She looked at Haley who's smile has now faded. She knew there was a story there. She then took notice of Lucas he had a gorgeous smile, and amazing eyes. She was bought out of her gazes when Haley whispered to her
"He is the real reason, why Peyton so happy here."
Brooke looked at her in nodded, She then looked over at Peyton who was talking to the two guys. "Brooke come here" Peyton said, as she waved her friend over. Brooke walked over to her smiling.
" Brooke this is Lucas and Nathan Scott, they live next store. You guys this is my best friend Brooke Davis."
"Nice to meet you Brooke,I heard alot about you" Lucas said, as he shook her hand, then he winked at Peyton.
" I bet" Brooke replied, as she also winked at Peyton.
" Hey Brooke, if I might say you are Beautiful woman" Nathan said, as he shook her hand.
"Thank you Nathan" She blushed, as Nathan kissed her hand. Peyton and Lucas glared at him. Haley walked out of the room.
"Well now that Nathan's done flirting with my best friend we have a party to get ready for." Peyton said, as she dragged Brooke away from Nathan.
The five of them spend the rest of the afternoon getting the house ready for tonight. Peyton had make appointment to get her hair done. The girls were getting ready to leave with there was another knock at the door. Peyton answer it she smiled at the deliver guy,
"Are you Peyton Sawyer" The deliver man asked,
"yeah"
"I had a deliver for you, just sigh here" he said, as he handed her the paper.
Peyton sign it, then look at him he handed her a little square box. She thank him then shut the door. She open up the box's, she was shocked to fine a key. Her eyes widen with surprise. She ran out the door in screamed as she found. A brand new red bmw convertible.
Lucas and Nathan ran out to found out why she was screaming " wow" they said, as the walked behind her. Brooke and Haley join them with there on "wow." "this totally beats my last years birthday gift" Haley said, as she open the door.
" I get to ride in it first" Nathan said, as he open the hood up.
" No I'm her best friend, she takes me for the first ride" Brooke said, as she got in the car beside Haley.
" I think Lucas she be the first one, I mean he is like your boyfriend now right?" Haley questioned, as she walked over to Peyton winking at her. Peyton glared at her, They have never talked about the kiss because, Peyton always changed the subject. Brooke raised her eyes brow at her friend. Lucas widen his eyes waiting on some kinda response from Peyton. Nathan laughed.
"You know we can all fit in the car, three in the back two up front. "Peyton said, as she tryed to turn everyone attention back on the car.
" yeah," Nathan said, as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Let's see Brooke and me and Haley in the back. You driving and your boyfriend in the passenger seat" He smiled. as Peyton elbow him.
"I can't drive yet, I haven't took my test yet."Peyton said, still avoiding the boyfriend subject.
" well that sucks" Haley said, as she notices a card inside the glove box. " here peyt" she said as she handed it to her.
Peyton open the card. "Happy Birthday, baby girl I know you always wanted one, Enjoy your day, love you mom and dad" she readied it with a smile, but the smile faded as she read the last part. "Bruce is not my dad, how can she write that" She thought to herself as she thew the card back into the car. " I guess I should go take a shower and get ready" she said, as she walked away leaving them all standing there confused.
It has been an hour since the party started, Peyton walked into the room she was really enjoying herself, she was kinda upset that Lucas hasn't show up yet. She noticed Haley standing in the corner, with tears in her eyes. She looked around realizing what had Haley so down. Nathan was standing in the corner with Brooke. She walked over to them.
"Hey guys" Peyton said, as she wrapped her arm around Brooke. " can I talk to you for a minute"
"yeah P" Brooke said, as she winked at Nathan, " What's up?" she asked, as they walked away from Nathan.
"Brooke I love you, you know that"
" yeah back at you"
"Look can you please stop flirting with Nathan" Peyton asked,
"why, he said he was single" Brooke said, as she study Peyton's face " you like him?"
"No, I don't like him. Listen Haley and Nathan use to date for like a year. Something happen in so they called it quits. Haley is still so much in love with him. And I believe Nathan is still in love with her, but he won't admit it"
"Oh, I totally seen that. I mean they both keep sending evil eyes at each other, I was just talking to him, I have no plans to hook up with him okay. I have my eye on someone else" Brooke said, in a nervous tone.
"you can't have Lucas either" Peyton said, in a serous tone.
Brooke had to smile she wasn't talking about Lucas. " why does he have in ex's who still in love with him to"
"No, I don't think so" Peyton said, as she bit her bottom lip. She wasn't sure if Lucas ever had a girlfriend. She really didn't want to know.
"Okay than he is free game" Brooke said, as she started to walked away.
" NO"Peyton yelled, Brooke turn around giving her a questionable look. Peyton sighed "he's mine" she whispered. So low that Brooke didn't hear.
" What I didn't hear you?" Brooke said, as she walked closer to her friend.
"I said he's mine, I like Lucas alot, I plan on tell him tonight." Peyton said, as she looked down at the floor.
" I knew it, it was all in your eyes" Brooke laughed, as she looked over at the door her smile faded as she noticed Lucas walking in but he wasn't alone. " I thought you said Lucas didn't have a girlfriend?" Peyton turned in followed her gazes. Her eyes widen as she watched him walk in with a red head girl. Brooke looked at her sympathetically. " come on" she said, as she pulled her best friend over to were Haley was.
"Who the red head bitch? your best friend with" Brooke asked, as the stopped in front of Haley.
Haley looked over at the door. "Summer, why would he bring her?" she questioned to herself.
"who is she?" Peyton whispered, refusing to look back. Haley looked at Peyton with the same look Brooke gave her.
"He's ex" she whispered, " They dated for about six months, then she just dump him. He was really hurt. I don't know why she is here now,but I'm sure in the hell going to fine out."
Peyton stood there in watched as Brooke and Haley walked over to the happy couple. Nathan walked over to her. "you really like him"
" it doesn't matter" she whispered, as she looked around the room. Everyone dancing in laughing. She was suppose to be enjoying her party, but all she wanted to do was cry.
"Hey can I talked to you" Haley asked, as she glared at summer. Lucas rolled his eyes he knew that Haley was going to be pissed.
"Hi Haley you haven't changed a bit" Summer said, as she wrapped her arms around Lucas waist.
"Hi Summer, you haven't changed either, your still a golden digger, with a fake nose" Haley said, as she looked back at Lucas " you and me now" she said as she walked out the front door.
"I'm be back baby" Lucas said, as he kissed her cheek. He walked out the door slamming it. Brooke looked Summer up in down
"Hey I'm Brooke Davis" she said, as she extended her hand.
"In I care because" Summer said, as she walked away. Leaving Brooke standing there. " totally bitch"she said, before walking back over to Peyton and Nathan.
"What the hell is your problem"Lucas asked, as he glared at his best friend.
"My problem, hell I'm not the one who bought the whore here"
" Haley don't call her that, she has changed"
"Bull Lucas, how did this happen, I mean you guys haven't seen each other in what almost a year. And now you show up with the slut" she was pissed, more that he bought her to Peyton's. She knew how much tonight meant to Peyton.
"Look she called me, I was shocked she said she missed me and she loves me" He paused, as he grab hold of Haley's hands. " Haley I think I still love her, she changed Haley she wants me"
" Yesterday you wanted Peyton, how did that change in under twenty-four hours." She asked, as she looked in the window. Peyton's head was leaning on Nathan's shoulder. Lucas looked in the same window.
"Summer wants to be with me, Peyton doesn't" He said, as he watched Peyton and for the first time he noticed the sadness in her eyes. " why is so sad?' he questioned to himself. Haley looked back at him. She shook her head.
"you can really be dumb sometimes,Peyton is great girl someone I could see you with, someone I know that would love you for you. Not how much money you have, or because you play basketball, She is nothing like summer. Summer is a user, she doesn't love you Lucas, she never did, she was only with you because you bought her things." Haley said, as she walked back to the porch turn around " just be careful this time" she said then walked back in the house. Lucas just stood there he continued to watch Peyton through the window. He liked her alot, that kiss still plays in his mind. He wanted to do nothing but kiss her again, but every-time he bought it up she changed the subject.
"Do you like Peyton" Brooke asked, as she walked up behind him,
"yeah I do" he sighed, "but that doesn't matter now right"
"yeah it dose, listen she is my best friend, she was so happy with I first got here. I like to see her happy before I leave tomorrow to. " Brooke paused, as she looked at her friend. "she likes you, and I have a way to make her admitted it"She said, as she pulled a confused Lucas back in the house.
Peyton and Haley were talking with Brooke approached them " Hey girls, how's it going?" she asked as she took Peyton' s cup.
"We are absolutely miserable" Peyton said, as she took her cup back, " best birthday ever" she replied sarcastically,
" Okay smart ass, Listen I know you two aren't miserable but I have a plan to make you so happy." Brooke said, with one of her evil smiles Peyton eyed her friend she knew Brooke was up to something.
" What did you do" Peyton asked,
"Nothing, Haley could you go to the basement in grab a box for me" Brooke asked, as she pulled Haley to the basement.
"Okay," Haley said, as she mouth help me to Peyton. Who just shrug her shoulders. Peyton stood there watching everyone wondering where Nathan and Lucas took off to. She then seen Lucas girlfriend sitting on the lap of some guy who wasn't Lucas.
"Wow she moves fasted" Brooke said, as she walked back over to Peyton. " I wondered were Lucas is"
"I don't know I don't care" Peyton said, her eyes widen when she saw Summer and the guy locked in a porn kinda kiss. " What a bitch, hell if Lucas was mine I sure in hell wouldn't do that to him. She is fucking crazy, Lucas is a sweet,caring,funny guy. with a gorgeous smile, amazing chest" She stopped with she heard Brooke clear her throat.
"You got bad" Brooke laughed, as Peyton bowed her head in embarrassment. " come on I want to show you something." Peyton followed Brooke upstairs to her room. Brooke open the door then pushed Peyton into the dark room. " what the hell Brooke" she said, as the door slammed. " BROOKE" she walked over in turn on her lamp on. She turn around expecting to see Brooke, but was shocked to see Lucas standing there.
"Peyton I love you, so I'm doing this for your own good. You two need to talk, so your not coming out till you talk" Brooke said, as she tie a rope around the door knob, she then tie one around the other door. There was no way to get out unless someone cut the rope. "No one can help you, Because I locked Haley in the basement with Nathan, so have fun" She said, as she when back down to the party.
"Unbelievable" Peyton said, as she throw herself on her bed. Lucas just stood there with his hands in his pockets.
Meanwhile down in the basement Haley was still beating the door hopping someone would hear. Nathan was sitting on the floor laughing he knew that this day was going to come. It was time to face their pasted.
" Haley could you stop that" He asked, as he tryed to think of something to say.
"No, I'm going to keep pounding till someone fucking opens this damn door" Haley said, as she continued to pound. " HELLO ANYONE, WE ARE LOCKED IN HERE, PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR PLEASE!"
"Haley, stop"
"no I want away for you I want out of here"
" I want to know why you broke up with me" His voice was cold and serious.
Haley turned to look at him. She wasn't expecting that him to say that. For the past two months she has been trying to tell him, but he didn't want to hear her. Now she can finally let it out.
Lucas walked over to the window. Trying to think of something to say " Can you believe she locked Nathan and Haley in the basement, I hope Haley's okay" He said, as he thought about his best friend.
"The truth need to come out, hopefully Nathan listens to her this time" Peyton said, as she sat up "Maybe they will get back together"
"Yeah, that would be good, she really misses him. He doesn't to even though he won't admitted" He said, as he walked back over to Peyton. He sat down beside her. "I think we should talk" he said, in low voice.
"We are talking" she joke,but stopped with she noticed his face" I know" they sat there for a moment both feeling the awkwardness. "So who the girl?" she asked, as she started to play with her chain around her neck.
"No one just a girl, I use to know" He said, as he reached for her hand. "I don't want to talk about her, I want to talk about the kiss. You kissed me last week and, have been avoiding the subject sense then. I need to know what you felt. Peyton I can't get it out of my mind, I can still feel your lips. I never wanted it to end. Did it matter to you?" He questioned, as he turned her towards him.
Peyton smiled as she leaned over and captured his lips with hers. He was shocked at first but soon his hands found their way to her face then getting tangled in her hair. The kiss was soft and gentle full of passion. He gently nibbling her bottom lip before parting her lips with his tongue. Her hand when to the back of his neck as their tongues caressed each others. She pulled away and whispered against his lips "coarse it did" Lucas just smile before kissing her again.
