A couple days later Peyton sat down in the kitchen. Waiting for her mom to come home, Anna had been in Chicago on business, for three days. Bruce wouldn't even let her talk to her mom on the phone. Bruce has been keeping a very close eye on her since the night he caught her with Lucas.

He drives her to and from school, he even took her cell. She only gets to see Lucas at school, they spend their lunch break making out in the back of his car. Bruce took her keys to hers, she was really hating him. She actually thought he was different, but what he said to her that night in her room she will never forget. She just hopes her mom believes her.

She was looking out the kitchen window smiling at Lucas and Nathan playing ball. Bruce was asleep on the couch, when Anna walked in.

"Hey Sweetheart" Anna said, as she spotted her daughter in a daze.

"MOM" Peyton yelled, as she ran towards her, giving her the biggest hug, she has ever give her.

"Wow, I guess someone did miss me" Anna teased, as she kissed the top of her head.

"Yeah, I missed you so much" She repiled, not wanting to let go.

"I missed you to honey"

Peyton felt a sense of comforter over come her, she was happy that her mom was home. And that she wasn't alone with Bruce anymore, she hasn't really slept in a few days, she was afraid to. She had so much to say to her mom.

"Mom, can we go somewhere in talk, like we use to?" Peyton asked, as she kept her head against Anna's shoulder.

"Sure, honey, let me go put my stuff up then I'm all yours" Anna said, as she walked up stairs.

A little while later, Peyton and Anna sat at beach watching the waves. They had spent the evening together, going out to get some to eat, then walked around town. Peyton listened as her mom told her about her meeting, in the sights of Chicago.

"So I guess we sure talk about you and Lucas" Anna said, surprising her.

"You know"

"Yeah, I know you in Lucas are together, I like Lucas I accepted your relationship wit him. But Peyton I don't accepted the fact that you two had sex in my house" she said, in very disappointed voice.

"MOM, we didn't have sex" Peyton yelled, looking her straight in the eye

"Peyton, Please don't lie to me. Bruce told me what he walked in on"

"Yeah, me in my panties, Lucas in his clothes. Mom I admitted that I was almost naked, but Lucas wasn't We were just messing around, I wasn't sure how far we were going to go. But we didn't have sex I swear" she said, in the most serious voice.

"Peyton," she said, in a I know when your lying to me voice. "You are sixteen now, I know sex is on your mind more now, And Lucas been your first really serious boyfriend, I understand the feeling, I do, so please be honest with me."

Peyton looked at her in disbelief. she couldn't believe that she could doubt her own daughter. "Mom, I'm been honest, Lucas and I have only make out, kissing, in he has got to like second base, in a little of third base. But we have never when all the way."

Anna shook her head, she was disappointed that Peyton was lying to her. "Peyton, fine whatever you say, but I'm sticking beside Bruce on this one."

"What do you mean?" she asked, confusedly

"I not want you seeing Lucas, I know you really like him, but your not ready for a sexual relationship. Bruce told me that those Scott boys are very sexual activated. I just feel that you two could spend sometime apart."

"NO, mom you can't do this I love him," she whispered, as she felt the tears escape.

"Peyton, you are to young to know what love is" she said, as she reached at to touch her. "He is a Scott Peyton, They use girl, then toss then to the side like yesterdays news."

"You don't know Lucas, mom, or Nathan, or Dan, so don't go judging someone you know nothing about." she was getting angry now

"No, I don't know then, but Bruce does Peyton. He said, that both boys are just like their father. Who was a big player in high school, he knocked to girls up at the same time. Then left them to chase his dreams, I don't want you involved with people who like that"

Peyton stood up looking down at her mom. "First off it's none of anyone business, why Dan did what he did. I don't know him that well, but I do know that Nathan and Lucas are nothing like him. They are really great boys mom, they have been here more for me then you have." she crossed her arms around herself.

Anna stood up, "I have to work to support you, I'm sorry if you don't think I care or whatever because, I do care, that's why you are going to end things with Lucas."

"No, I'm not I'm sixteen mom you can't treat me like I'm five. I love him, and Lucas loves me"

"No, he doesn't Peyton he only loves you long enough to get you in too bed, then he's gone"

Peyton was sure what came over her, but once those words left her moms mouth. Her hand collided with her face.

Anna was completely shocked, "Peyton Elisabeth Sawyer, I can't believe you just did that" she said, as she rubbed the side of her face. "You are ground till further notice. Do you hear me?"

"Yeah, I hear you" she was shocked at what she did to, never has she slap her mom.

"Are you even going to say your sorry" Anna asked, as she picked up the blanket they were sitting on.

"No, I will not say I'm sorry for hitting you because, you deserved it." she paused "But I will say I'm sorry that Bruce is pathetic jackass. Who is only with you because you are good in bed, so be.................... Anna had slap her before she could finish.

"Don't you dare talk about him that way, he loves me Peyton. He loves you to, he had sacrificed alot for us, he would do anything for us. We live in a beautiful home, you have a very expensive car because, of him. So don't you dare talk about him, like it are not he will be your step dad someday."

"Like hell he will and, I didn't ask him to buy me the damn car. He can keep the car, for all I care" she turn to away.

"Were are you going?" Anna yelled.

"Far away from you" she was pissed in needed to blow off some steam.

"Peyton, it's late I don't want you out here alone"

Peyton shook her head, "Why do you care? I'm just you no good lying daughter." she yelled

Anna stood there watching her walk away, after a few mintines she went back to her car. She was going to let he cool down.

Peyton walked all the way to the river court, she sat down on the ground looking at the river. She let the tears flow down her face. Her mom doesn't believe her, she shouldn't be surprise, she knew that Bruce would get to her.

"Hey"

she jumped at the sound of his voice, "Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked, as he sat down beside her.

"Nathan, was at the beach with his date, he said you in your mom had a fight. You walked away, so I figured you would come here" Lucas said, as he wrap his arm around her.

"Yeah, I'm glad you know me so well, I really didn't want to be alone" she admitted, as she leaned her head against his shoulder.

"I will never leave you alone, I love you" he said, as he kissed the top of her head. She closed her eyes, she hasn't told him she loved him yet, but she told her mom she did. Apart of her wanted to tell him now, but she knew it will only make things harder.

"Lucas" she whispered,

"Yeah,"

"Did Nathan hear are fight?" she wondered how much he heard.

"Yeah, he heard that we are like Dan, but we ar........

Peyton hushed him with her two fingers. "I know, your not." she smiled, but Lucas see the sadness in her eyes. He leans down in kissed her, feeling this will be the last time. "Lucas....." she whispered, against his lips. Tears are burning her eye.

"I know" he admitted, as he pulled back, tryin to hold his own tears.

"I'm sorry" she said, in a weak voice, that broke his heart.

"So I guess we over, huh?" he asked, in a strained voice. as he fought back his tears.

"We have to be" she whispered,

Lucas stood up putting his hands in his pockets."So you're just giving up on us" he was irritated now.

"I don't want to, but I don't.................

"Save if Peyton, if you really wanted to be with me, you wouldn't let anyone stop you" he yelled,

"Lucas, How can we be together," she yelled

"We stay together the last three days, why can we continued what we were doing, They will never figure it out"

"I don't want hide with you Lucas, I want to be able to hold your hand and, kiss you were ever we are, without worrying about what will happen, if my mom or Bruce finds out." she yelled, as the tears fell freely now.

"I don't want that either, but breaking up isn't going to solve anything. It she going to make us both unhappy."

"I don't know what to do Lucas, I don't want to lose you. But I'm not strong enough to do this, either way the win" she cried, her voice was mixed between sadness and madness.

"No, they won't win,I won't let them." he said, as he pulled he to him. "I don't want to lose you either. So promise me, you won't give up on us" he asked,as he lifted her chin to make her look at him.

She closed her eyes, "I can't promise you that,"

"Peyton, please let figure this out together, don't push me away. I need you as much as you need me. " He was laying it all out hoping she would believe him. "I love you"

"I love you too" she whispered, as she kissed him gently.

"We going to be okay, right?" she asked, as the pulled back.

"Yeah, I promise" he whispered, as he pulled her closer. He wasn't sure what is going to happen now, but all he knew was, as long as Peyton wanted to be with him, he wasn't letting anyone stand in the way.
