Peyton sat in her room drawing and, listening to the fray. She was lonely, miserable, and just plain up-happy. Tomorrow her life will change, her mom was marring a complete jackass and, there was nothing Peyton could do about it. She told her mom about the bruise Bruce give her. She thought that her mom would open her eyes in dump Bruce, but her plan back fired.

Flashback to last night.

Anna walked into Peyton's room, to find her siting in the corner. "Peyton, we need to talk" she said, in a clam voice as she sat down beside her. "I love you Peyton, I will do anything for you. I want you to like Bruce."

"No, mom I 'm sorry, I love you to mom I do, but I don't like him. He is a not a good guy, he sure in the hell isn't the guy for you."

"Peyton, you don't get to make that decision. I love him, he loves me, he loves you to, but you are just been so damn difficult."

"HA, he loves me, not, he loves you not, he loves himself mom. He doesn't care about you are me, he only cares about him. Yeah, I'm been difficult, I was hoping my mom would realize that her daughter, really doesn't like the guy, then she would call the wedding off, or least look into why her daughter doesn't, like him"

"Peyton, I'm looking into why you don't like him, but I keep coming up empty. He is amazing guy, who wouldn't hurt a fly, He is so s..................

"No,he wouldn't hurt a fly mom, your right. He likes to leave bruises are me, not fly's" she said, in a frustrated voice.

"Peyton, he said that was an accident"

"You knew" she was shocked, "I can't believe this"

"Yeah, I know because, Bruce felt bad after it happen he came straight home and, told me about it. He said, that sometimes his angry gets the better of him. He didn't like the way you was talking to me. So he was just tryin to put a little scare in you."

"I can't believe this, so was he trying to put a scare in me the other two times too"

"Peyton, he didn't mean any of it"

"OH MY GOD, you knew the entire time that he had let marks on me. And you did do a damn thing about it, some mother you are." she said, in her disbelief voice

"Peyton, stop acting like he beats up on you everyday, if was three times he promise he wouldn't do it again."

"Yeah, like he knows how to keep promises"

"Look, Peyton I hope you change your mind about the wedding. I'm not making you go, it's your decision" she said, as she stood up.

"Good, I won't be there" she replied coldly

"Then don't, but with or without you I'm getting married." Anna walked to the door,but stop before going out it. " I hope you change your mind, it would really break my heart not to have my daughter at my wedding, goodnight Peyton" she was crying now

Peyton sat there processing everything, she hated Bruce so much, but she loves her mom, She was against the marriage, but she didn't want her mom crying either.

End of flashback.

Peyton threw down her drawing, she had to talk to her mom. She slowly walked in the kitchen, her mom and Bruce were kissing. It was the nasty, sickies thing she had ever seen. "Can we talk?" she asked, as she looked down at he floor.

"Yeah, honey" Anna said, as she pulled away for Bruce. "what do you want to talk about?"

Peyton looked up, they both were watching her, "I will be at the wedding tomorrow, if I'm still invited" she said, half hearted.

"Yeah, coarse honey" Anna said, happily, as she walked over to her daughter giving her a hug. "Peyton, I so happy you change your mind"

Peyton smiled, "I love you mom, I'm doing this for you, not Bruce. I'm sorry, but I still don't trust him or like him."

"Peyton I........." Bruce begin

"Look mom" Peyton said cutting Bruce off. " I'm doing this for you, I will smile acted happy. I will be on my best behavior. Because I want tomorrow to be your prefect day."

"Okay, thank you honey"

"Your welcome," she hugged, "Mom can I stay with Haley tonight, she is coming with me to the wedding tomorrow. So I thought I could go over there in help her find something to wear."

"Yeah, I'm going out with some of the girls from the office and, Bruce is going out with some of his friends. I really didn't want to leave you alone. So go in have fun."

"Thanks mom" she said, as she walked out of the kitchen, but stop at the stairs.

"Hey Peyton" Bruce yelled

"What?"

" I hope you aren't going to Haley's to see Luke, because that would definitely be a bad idea" he said with a smile.

"Lucas and I broke up" she lied, " I'm going to help Haley, that is unless you have a problem with Haley now."

"No, she is fine with me" He said, in a prev kind of way.

Peyton scowled at him, " your sick" she rolled her eyes

"Does Haley have a date?" Anna asked, as she walked in the hall.

"Yeah, she is bring Chris, why?"

"That's good, I didn't want her to feel left out" Anna said, as she started to walk up the stairs, but stop at Peyton's voice

"Left out of what?" she asked confusedly

"Oh, did I forget to tell you, I invited my boss's son to the wedding as your date" Bruce said, as he crossed his arms.

Peyton mouth dropped, "You had no right" she yelled

"Peyton, he is a sweet boy, he is seventeen, very cute, listens to the same music you do, I think you would really like him" Anna said, " I got to go get ready, I will see you tomorrow at the Church, be there at noon" she finished, as she went up stairs.

"Whatever" she was angry now, they both were trying to set her up on a blind date, They didn't even think to ask her first. "I can't believe this"

"What's the problem princess?" Bruce said, as he walked closer to her. "You don't have a boyfriend, right"

"First off never call me princess" she glared at him. "No, I don't have a boyfriend, but that still didn't give you the right to set me up with some spoiled, rich, kid"

"Well, no girl should go to the wedding with out a date. Besides I thought it would help you get over your little crush on Luke, Because once he knows that you moved on, he can move on"

" I don't want to move on and, I don't wanna you setting me up on some pathetic date. I just won't go to the wedding then"

"Oh, Honey, you told your mom that you will be there to make her happy. You having Justin, as a date will make her very happy. You don't want to spoiler your mom's day do you?" he laughed, as he waled back into the kitchen.

Peyton slowly walked up stairs, to fine her mom trying her wedding dress on. She didn't bug her, she just turn around to go to her room." Lucas isn't going to like this" she thought, as she got her stuff ready to go to Haley's

It was about seven when Anna, drop Peyton off at Haley's.

"Hey" Peyton said, as she walked into Haley's room

"Hey! about time you got here"

"Sorry, I had to have a little talk with my mom about this dumb wedding''

"So are we going tomorrow or what?"

Peyton sat down on Haley's bed, " I told my mom that I would go, just to make her happy"

"Well, I'm glad you change your mind"

"Yeah, I was happy that she was happy, but now I'm not sure what to do."

"What happen?" Haley asked, as she sat down beside her.

"They set me up on a blind date for the wedding, his name is Justin and, my mom thinks we would totally hit it off"

"No way" Haley said, in a shocked voice

"Yes way,"she sighed, " It sucks Haley, My mom cried because, I wasn't going to the wedding. I felt so damn bad for making her so sad, so I decide to put my feelings aside just for one day, to make her happy, but then they hit me with this, I'm just so damn angry with her." she bit her bottom lip "Do you think I should tell Lucas?'

"Take if from me Peyt, lying is never the answer. Not even if you believe it's for the best because, it will always come back to bit you in the ass. I learned that the hard way, I don't want you to lose Lucas, like I lost Nathan."she finished, as she felt her eyes mist over.

Peyton felt bad for her, she wished Nathan would stop been in ass in talk to her already. "Haley, I know you probably won't believe me, but he does miss you regardless to what he says, or does." Peyton wrapped her arm around her.

" I miss him too,but I cause it so I just have to deal till he is ready"

Peyton just hugged her, she wanted to tell her that Nathan was jealous of her relationship with Chris, but deep down she knew that Haley would end thing with Chris and, for Nathan to actually open his eyes, Chris will have to stick around for little bit longer.

"Peyt, your like my best friend" Haley said, as she wiped away couple of tears.

Peyton smiled, "your mine to" she said, as the door to Haley's room open

"I'm hurt Hales I thought we were best friends" Lucas joked, as he in Nathan enter the room.

"Sorry, Lucas I like Peyton better" she stuck her tongue out at him.

"It's okay, I like her better than you to" He teased, as he sat on the opposite side of Peyton.

"Hey Baby" Lucas whispered, as he give her a quick peck.

"Hey to you" she peck him back,

"Did you miss me?" He asked, as he wrapped his arms around her sideways. His forehead rested against hers.

"Yeah so much, Did you miss me?" she asked, as cupped his faces.

"Hell yeah" they smiled at each other before he capture her lips in to a long heated Kiss.

Nathan stood in the doorway, looking around Haley's room. He hasn't been in here in over a year. It's still the same. He looks over in his heart stops, as he notices the picture of her and him at the beach, it was taking on their six month anniversary. He couldn't believe she never threw it at like he did.

Haley felt very uncomfortable, as her two best friends kept kissing. Her ex-boyfriend was standing in her door way glancing around her room. She cleared her throat, hopeful getting Lucas and Peyton attention.

"Sorry" the both said, at the same time.

"It's okay, so Luke what bring you by" Haley asked, trying to avoided Nathan's stare.

"Well I knew my girl was going to be here, I just missed her like crazy" He said, as he when in for another kiss, but was stopped at the sound of Nathan's voice

"Look Peyton, are dad is downstairs he wants to talk to you"

"Why?"

"My dad seen what happen the other morning, he needs to talk to you about something." Lucas said, as he stood up.

"OH" was all she could say.

"Come on, I promise he doesn't bit." Lucas extended his hand out to her.

"Okay, I trust you" she took his hand. "Nathan I believe you should keep Haley company"

"No Peyton, that's f.......

"Haley, you two need to talk and, now seem like a good time, right Nathan?" Peyton give him a cold glare.

"Fine, ten minutes Nathan said, as he walked in the room, he sat down on the chair, refusing to look at Haley.

Peyton winked at Haley, as her in Lucas walked out the door. "Baby,do you think that was a good idea?' Lucas asked,

"Yeah, they need this Lucas, I will keep pushing Nathan till he opens his eyes and, realizes that he still loves her. Love can pull through anything" she smiled.

As the walked down stairs Peyton become very nervous, "Hey Miss Sawyer"

"Hello, Mr Scott" Peyton said, as Lucas sat down on the couch pulling her in to his lap.

"It's Dan, call me Dan" she nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"Look, I know your life is kinda a mess right now. With the whole marriage thing and the fact that your in love with a Scott man."

Peyton just smiled down at Lucas, he winked at her. Dan also smiled he loved the way they looked at each other. He knew that Lucas was really in love especially after his little break down the other night. When he learned that Bruce had left marks on her. Dan vowed that he would do whatever he had to for his son to be happy with her.

" I witnessed the little scene last week when Bruce grabbed your neck. Peyton I know Bruce told you to stay away from my sons. Because he doesn't like me. he thinks just because I was an ass in high school that my boys are. But they are nothing like me"

" I know," Peyton said, in her most honest voice. " I don't know what happen in your past that's your business. I love both of your sons, they are amazing boys. You did a great job with them"

"Thank you" Dan said, in a disbelief voice no one has ever said, something that sweet to him

"You love me more than Nathan, right?" Lucas asked, with a smirk

" I love Nathan, he is great friend to me, but I'm in love with you and, you are amazing boyfriend to me" she kissed his forehead, as he smiled over at his dad.

"You got a winner there son"

"Yeah I know, I hit the jackpot with this one." Lucas said, proudly, as he pulled her tighter to him. " I'm so in love you" he whispered, in her ear, as he kissed her neck.

"Okay, let talk now then you to can go make out" Dan said, as he got serious again.

"Look I know how you can, stop your mom for getting married."

"Peyton's eyes widen " Really, it's tomorrow how can we stop it by tomorrow?"

"We make a deal with her and this deal will also get you to be able to see Lucas again."

Peyton and Lucas just raised their eyebrow. "What kinda deal?" she asked, hesitantly

"This" Dan said, as handed her an envelope. "It's your decision, I will help you either way"
