The wedding came in went fast, Peyton did what she said she was going to do. She stood beside her mother. Wearing a beautiful silk emerald dress, her hair was down with tight curls, she was wearing light make up , and a smile. It was a fake smile, but no one knew that, but Haley who was sitting in the second row, next to Chris.

Peyton smiled big as her mom pledged to love Bruce forever and, Bruce pledge to be her soul mate and never hurt her. "Yeah right" Peyton said, to herself, as the exchange rings and vows, On the outside Peyton looked like a happy sixteen year old, watching her mother married her other half.

But inside, Peyton was sick to her stomach, she felt like she was going to throw up in second. Especially when the preacher said, "Bruce, you may kiss your beautiful bride," the sight of them kissing was enough for her to toss her cookies right there, but she held it in. And continue to play the role of happy daughter.

At the reception, Peyton was sitting with Haley and Chris, she was texting Lucas with Haley's phone. When Justin approached her.

"Let's dance"

"Excuse me, I don't dance" She said, as she looked up at her suppose to be date. He was cute, black hair, nice tan, great body, cute smile, and blue eyes, But he didn't have anything on her man.

"Your father...........

"Don't you dare call him that you hear me" She yelled, totally forgetting were she was, Justin was shocked, by her out burst. a sorry look claimed his face.

"I'm sorry, I thou

"No, it's my fault, I'm still getting use to the idea, you understand" She lied, as she looked over at Haley who give her a small smile.

"Yeah, totally, look they said that after we give are speech's that we have to share a dance." Justin said, as he looked back at Bruce who was eyeing them up. Peyton knew he was trying to get her to slip up in say she was with Lucas, but she wasn't going to give him that satisfaction.

"I would love to dance with you, as soon as I readied my poem." she said, in her sweet voice, then stood up in kissed his cheek, "thank you" she whispered, as she looked over at Bruce who just smiled. "Well let's get this over with" she said, to Haley and Chris,

Peyton and Justin walked up the stage "Hey everyone, we we're asked to say something about the happy couple, I love Bruce like a father, I have known him for eight or nine years he is a wonderful man. Anna you are one lucky woman, Cheers to both of you and a life full of happiness." Justin said, as he stepped back.

"Well, Mom I wanted to say that I love you and I also wish you both lots of happiness." She lied, as she give another fake smile. "I'm not good with the whole, speech things so I decided to read on of my favorite poems. To my mom and Bruce.

A Life Of Happiness
by truth of life.

"Walking barefoot on a secluded beach
Adoring the flat calm sea
For your hand I gently reach
And we stroll contentedly.

On a bench overlooking the beautiful bay
We eat fish and chips for lunch
Wild flowers along the clifftop sway
And I pick you a bunch.

Making plans for our life together
Lost in a world of our own
It seems we have waited almost forever
But at last we are alone.

We don't ask much from the life we're living
Just love and devotion, passion and care
Delighting in both taking and giving
Working hard on the relationship we share.

Contented sighs and heavenly kissing
Our path of life is clearly defined
We have found what we've been missing
Now and forever you are mine.

Oh I know we'll share life's torments
We'll have drama's too I guess
But I also know that this is the moment
And we'll share a life of happiness."

She finished, as everyone clapped, then walked down the stairs, kissed her moms cheek and hugged her, then kissed Bruce's cheek (which totally give her a sick, twisted feeling,) She smiled, as she said, "Take care of my mom" she walked away, knowing that after today her relationship with her mom will never be the same.

She pushed, all thoughts out of her head, "Come on" she said, to Justin as she dragged him to the dance floor. She wanted to get the dance over with, so she could get back to Lucas.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, as Justin wrapped his arms around her waist. She smiled, as she thought about how jealous Lucas would be if he was here right now. They dances to "Endless Love" it was her moms favorite love song.

"You are really beautiful," Justin said,as he pulled her closer.

"Thank you" she smile a little

"God, you smell so good," He bend down in smelled her hair.

"Could you stopped that, please" she wasn't actually thrilled with what he was doing.

He just winked at her, she was getting really confused now, "You wanted to head to my place?"

"No" she said, flat out,she had no plans of leaving with him

"Well then your places," he said, as he moved his lips to her ear. "I really don't care were we go," he said, as he kissed her ear

"What the fuck are you doing?" She asked,

"Look Bruce said, that you were very easy" He smiled, as he pulled her closer, She looked at him confusedly, it wasn't till has hands grabbed her ass and he whispered "I promise to be gently, I will take very good care of you" in her ear and kissed her ear again.

"Get the fuck off me!" She yelled, as she pushed him away, "you jackass"

"Look, Bruce said that if I came to this fucking wedding that my date would make it wroth my wild. So to be that..............

"That I was going to fuck you" she yelled, everyone eyes were on her " Not going to happen, not today, not tomorrow, not ever."

She looked around in noticed everyone looking at her, but she didn't care anymore, "I have a boyfriend, someone I love very much, so I suggest you get the hell away for me, because if your looking for hot wedding sex, it for sure ain't happening with me." she said, as she walked over to her mom and Bruce

"Peyton what the hell is going?" Anna asked, as she touched Peyton shoulder

"Mom I love you, enjoy your honeymoon, Because when you get back things will never be the same, and yes I'm still seeing Lucas, I love him, he loves me, end of story."

"Peyton, you will not continue to see him under my roof" Bruce said,

"It won't be under your roof, it will be under mine" She said, then walked away leaving everyone confused, especially her mom. Who was still focusing on things will never be the same, Anna wondered what that meant.

Haley called Lucas after Peyton stormed off. She knew that Lucas would be able to clam her down. After talking to Lucas, she decided it was time to talk to Chris.

"Well that was a lot....

"Of drama, more drama then you would ever want to be in" Haley said, interrupting him,

"Yeah, so,.....Do you want to tell me why you been acting strange all day" He asked, as they got in his car.

Haley looked over at him clearly shocked that he even noticed, "Look Haley I know something is up, you haven't kissed me or really even looked at me. We have been together for a month and it was great. Everyday with you was great, but today something was off, and I kinda have a feeling that Nathan is that something" he said, as he looked over at her.

She closed her eyes and frown, he knew he had hit the nail right there. "Look Haley, you are amazing girl, but I can tell you are still hung up on this Nathan guy. I can't see why, but hey, it's your life. You can't help who you love. I understand,"

"Chris, I'm s..........

"No, don't hearing you say your sorry because you can't be with me, because your in love with someone else is to much, What we had was great, now it's over we both go are own ways." He said, then started the car. He focused on the road, as Haley looked at the window, Neither said, a word. Till he pulled up in front of Nathan's house.

Haley looked at him confusedly, "Hey, life is short, you deserve to be happy, go be happy Haley James" he said, as he kissed her cheek,

"Thank you, I really hope we can be..............

"No I can't, not yet" He said, as he continued to look away. "one day we maybe can be friends"

"I hope, you are a great guy Chris, you will find your someone one day, I know you will" She said, as she kissed him on the cheek this time. She climbed out of the car.

"thank you Haley" He said, as she shut the door. Then watched him drive away. She took a deep breath before running into Nathan's house.

Peyton was sitting on the beach, looking out into the ocean. She closed her eyes, remembering when she was younger and she was happy. Not that she isn't happy now, Life is really going great for her, she has wonderful friends, and amazing boyfriend, but she was losing her mom. She wasn't sure if she was strong enough to do this whole on her own thing.

"Hey Beautiful" Lucas said, as he sat down beside her, pulling her closer to him. "Want to tell me what happen? he asked, as he kissed her forehead

"Nothing," She lied,

"Peyt, baby, I know you stormed out of the wedding, Haley called me, she didn't say why, but as your boyfriend and someone who loves you so much. I want to know, "

"Fine, but first you have to promise you can't get mad or angry" she said, as she give him her, I mean it look

"What did that guy do?" He asked, as his blood started to boil.

"Lucas, promise me"

"Fine, I promise, tell me already"

She told him everything that happen, everything Justin said, even told him that he kissed her ear twice and grabbed her ass. He was pissed and, she could see it in his eyes, but she then touched his cheek, in said, " I told him I had a boyfriend, someone I love very much," she lean in to press her lips against his.

He sighed a little she was always able to keep him grounded, that is one of the things he loves about her. "He kissed your ear, this are my ears" he said, in a child like voice, as he touched both ears. "And he grabbed your ass, this is my ass" he smirk, as his hand squeeze her bottom.

She giggle a little, " My body, my soul, my heart it's all yours sweetheart, no one will ever take me away from you, Okay, I'm not going in where" she said, as she kissed him again. "My ass is yours to," she laughed.

"Good, cause I don't want to lose you, I love you to damn much to lose you," he said, as he rested his forehead against hers. "You can grab my ass anytime you want." he smile, as she shook her head, laughing at him. He then lean down locking their lips together,

"I told Bruce and my mom that we are together and, that I love you" she said, as they broke apart.

"Wow, what did they say?" he asked, he was definitely shocked

"Bruce said, that I not continue to see you under his roof" She smiled, "So I told him not under his, under mine"

"Did you tell them about you moving out"

"No, I figured I would want to till they come back for Hawaii,"

"I forgot to till you, my dad found you a place, he said that we could go look at it tomorrow, ever you get done work. "

"Really, that's great, maybe I could move in before they get back." She was really happy now. She was going to have her own places, and she couldn't wait. She then realized that she was going to be alone, and she hated to be alone.

"Peyton, what's wrong?" Lucas asked, noticing that the smile faded from her face

She looked at him for a moment, "I don't want to be alone" she whispered, in the most saddest voice he has ever heard.

"Peyton, you are never going to be alone, you have Haley and Nathan and most importantly you got me, I will never leave you alone," He stood up, bring her with him. "You know we could move in together"

"What?" She asked, confusedly, "Lucas, I don't think your parents would prove of us living together." she said, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Well, I can talk them into it." He took a deep breath, "Or we could just go to South Carolina,"

"Why? would we go down there?" She asked, with a raised eye brow

"Because, down there, we could get..............." He stopped, in looked at her, she was so amazing, in beautiful, she was everything he has ever wanted, Right there he knew that she was the one. So he took a deep breath, and whispered. "We could get Married."
