The next morning Peyton awoke to aloud knocking on her door. "go away" she yelled, as she pulled the blanket over her head. The knocking continued, she rolled her eyes as she climb out of her nice warm bed.
"What?" she yelled, in a irritated voice,
"Your mom wants you down stairs in five mintines," Bruce said, with that pathetic smile of his.
"Why?"
"Be down in five mintines, or I will personally carry you down"
"Whatever" she slammed her door.
Four mintines later, she enter the kitchen "You happy now" she said, to Bruce, as she pushed by him. She didn't even look at her mom. She was upset with her. she pour juices, and grab a muffin.
"Where did you go last night?" Anna asked, after she knowledge that her daughter wasn't going to speak to her.
"For a walk" Peyton answered without looking at her.
"Were you with Lucas?" Bruce asked, as she took a slip of his coffee, starring a hole through her.
Peyton looked up glaring at him, "Yes I was" she wasn't going to lie. She starred back at him, to show him that she wasn't scared.
"Peyton, I told you to stay away form that boy" Anna said, as she walked towards her.
"Yeah, I know, but I had to see him" she replied, still looking at Bruce. Who seem like her stare was affecting him.
"Your grounded" Anna said,
"For what?" Peyton asked, as she finally broke her eyes away from Bruce. To give her mom a what the hell look.
"For disobey me," she said, as she put her hand up to silent Peyton protest, "I told you last night to stay away from him, I also want you to say away from Nathan, Bruce doesn't think those boys are good guys in a believe him"
"I can't believe you believe a guy you have only knew for six months over your own daughter."
"Peyton, your young in you will believe whatever they tell you I don't want you to get hurt, And that's what is going to happen"
"No, it won't mom. you don't know the Scott boys. They are really good guys, I don't know what the whole story with their father is, but he seems nice to."she paused, in picked up her bag. "I didn't want to move here, I hated it here,you kept telling me to friends,now that I have friends, and a guys who is crazy about me. You want be to throw away my happiness all because, your jackass of a boyfriend doesn't like their father. That doesn't make sense, I think there is more to the reason why Mr Prefect doesn't want me around them." She finished, as she looked over at a very angry Bruce.
"Peyton that's enough I will not have you talking to Bruce that way, Do you hear me?"
"Whatever mom, I got to go"
"Bruce is still driving you"
"Why"
"Because you are grounded, no party's, no car, no cell phone, no computer, I'm cutting you off from everything you love, till you show Bruce some respect, in me to. " she walked over to her. " I love you Peyton, that why I'm dong this."
"Are you sure you want me to go to school, I mean god those Scott boys, and other boys go there, they might try to hurt me mom" she said sarcastically, as she rolled her eyes.
"If I were you I will have a change in attitude with you get home"
"If I come home" she yelled, as she slammed the front door.
She walked over to Bruce's car in lean up against, she closed her eyes wondering what else was going to happen today.
"Listen to be you little Bitch," Bruce said, he walked over to her, "You will change your fucking attitude," he grabbed the back of her neck,she was instantly flooded with pain. She didn't let it show. "or I will change it for you" He told her menacingly.
"Whatever, you say" she mumbles,as she pulled away from him, her neck was really hurting,but she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing, they he hurt her. "Can we just go now?" she climbed in the car.
Bruce looked around to make sure no one see what he just did. He then got in the car, drove off.
Little did Bruce know that someone did see it. In that someone was going to get to the bottom of it to.
The pulled up in front of the school, "I mean what I said, and you better stay away from them" He said, as he looked over at Lucas and Nathan who was talking to three other boys. Peyton nodded, then climbed out of the car. She walked right past Lucas, she didn't even turn around when she heard him call her name.
Lucas was hurt, he thought that they came to the conclusion that they were going to stay together, but he guested he was wrong. He watched, as she walked over to Haley.
Peyton felt really awful avoiding him, but she needed Bruce to believe that she was really listening to them.
"Haley, let me see your phone" she asked,as sat down beside her. Bruce was still in the parking alot.
"Okay, you still haven't got yours back" Haley asked, as she handle it to her.
"No, I'm grounded till I learn to respect them" she laughed "He is really getting on my nervous" she nodded towards Bruce.
"He is watching us" Haley said, in a shocked voice, "Does he had a life"
"No" she said, as she text Lucas a message, "They demanded I stay away from the Scott boys, he is watching to see if Lucas comes over. So I'm texting him to tell him to stay were he is, till the jackass is gone."
"I'm sorry you have to go through this,"
"Me to, I told Lucas I love him last night"
"I know, he called me he was so happy, you two will make it thought this"
"I hope your right, I just got to stop my mom from marrying him" she said, as she handed Haley back her phone. Bruce was still watching them,
"Well we ave six months to figure something out"
"Yeah, I know" she whispered,
"Oh" Haley said, as her phone beep,
"What?"
"Lucas said, you look beautiful, and he can't wait to kiss you, he misses you" Haley read the message to her smiling. "I swear those Scott boys, know how to sweet talk" as she remembers the way Nathan use to talk to her.
"Yeah, come on lets go inside, he starting to creepy me out" Peyton said, as she pulled Haley inside.
She walked to her locker, than went to wait for Lucas at his, "Wow, I have never been more excited to come to school before." he said, as he stopped in front of her.
She grabbed his hand pressing her palm to his and interlacing her fingers with his. "Aren't you going kiss me?" she asked, as she give him her puppy dog eyes.
"You bet" He kissed her softly at first and she groaned lightly encouraging him to deepen the kiss. She felt his tongue slip inside her mouth and welcomed the invasion for a seemingly endless moment
"Keep it PG people" Nathan said, as he walked by the love birds, They pulled apart to look at him, He just laughed, and winked.
"Well, I guess we have to go to class,huh" she said, as she played with the buttons of his shirt.
"Yeah,babe, I will be waiting at your locker, for another kiss" he winked, before kissing her quickly, then walked away smiling.
After class Peyton was standing at her locker, getting her books for the next two class, She smiled, as Lucas came to stand behind her his hands resting on her hips, as he pulled her back against his body.
"I missed you," he said quietly his lips close to her ear.
She smiled slightly at his words, "Babe you just see me forty mintines ago" she laughed.
His teeth tugged lightly at her earlobe. "Baby, forty mintiunes is along time" he said,as his arms slid around her waist tightening his hold on her.
She just laughed, as she move her own hands to cover his and tipping her head back to rest on his shoulder allowing his lips to find her neck .He bit lightly at the pulse point in her neck and she felt a shiver run through her body.
"mmm" she said, as she continued to work on her neck, They were both lost in the feeling to remember where they were. He moved her hair out of the way so he could kiss the back of her neck, but stopped,
"Why you stop?" she asked,
"What the hell happen?" he asked, as he noticed the bruise that was forming on her neck.
She tensioned up, as she pulled away from him. "Nothing" she said not looking at him.
"Peyton, there is bruise on the back of your neck, that's not nothing"
"Lucas, I swear it's nothing"
"Did your mom do that?"
"No" she looked him straight in the eye, "My mom would never hit me" she said, hoping he would drop it
"Peyton, she slap you last night, at least that's what Nathan saw" he was yelling
"Lucas, stop okay, Look yeah last night she did because, I slap her, my mom didn't leave this bruise on me," she looked down at the floor.
She felt her eyes filling with tears, as he placed his finger under her chin raising her face so that she was once again looking into his eyes.
"Then what ha........... that son of a bitch" he said,realizing who did it "Bruce hit you, didn't he?" he said his eyes now flashing with suppressed anger.
"I'm going to be late" she said, pushing him away from her, so she could get to class. Lucas shook his head, as he walked to his next class.
She avoided Lucas the rest of the day, she stay away from her locker, then went to the library during lunch, she wanted to be with him, they usally spend lunch making out in his car, but she knew today he would just want to talk about the bruise.
She walked out of her last class,hoping to get to Bruce's car before Lucas seen her, But she wasn't so lucky. He was leaning up against the wall as she turned the corner. She rolled her eyes, "Lucas, could you drop it"
"No, Peyton he hurt you" he grabbed her arm pulling her to him.
"I can handle it, it's not the first time" she said, honestly she wasn't sure what to do, She was going to pretend to get aloud with her just in till she came up with a plan to break them up.
"Bruce has hurt you before?" he asked, shocked he let go of her.
"Lucas, it's going to be okay", she said as much trying to convince herself as she was him. " it will"
"Peyton, I.................
"Lucas, just kiss me before he comes in looking for me" she asked,
Slipping his arms around her waist, he gently moved them both backwards toward her the wall. "Promise me your be okay"
"I promise y.........his lips were on top of hers before she could broke apart,
He cupped her face gently and pulled it to his " I love you" he whispered against her lips.
" I love you too" Her lips found his gently, reassuringly, as their tongues met in a gentle, swift stroke.
Later that evening Peyton sat at the dinner table in silents, she wasn't talking to her mom or Bruce.
"Peyton, Bruce in I have something we need to tell you" Anna said, as she took a slip of her wine
"What" Peyton asked, as she played with the food on her plate. Her head stay down, she really didn't care what they had to say.
"Bruce in I moving the wedding" Anna said, in a happy voice
Peyton's head snapped up "What do you mean, you moved the wedding?" she asked, as she felt her body go numb.
"Well, Bruce and I want to get married soon them six months"
"How soon" she was afraid of the answer
"Next weekend"
"Why" she yelled,
"Peyton, we love each other, in I can't wait to marry him" Anna said, in a loving way as she looked at Bruce
"I won't be there" Peyton said, as she stood from the table "I refuse to be apart of it" she said,as stormed away.
She throw herself down on her bed, she couldn't believe this. Bruce is up to something. Why does he want to move the wedding up. She had to do something fast.
