Peyton knocked on the door, opening it slightly but there was no one home. She poked her head through, looking into the house but she didn't see anyone.
"Lucas?" Peyton said with a high voice, hoping that he wouldn't yell at her. Peyton invited herself into his house. She looked around at the beautiful home, it was so well decorated and everything seemed like it was in place. She was impressed with what Brooke did to the house. "Brooke did know how to decorate." Peyton mumbled to herself, not wanting to give props to Brooke. She felt like Brooke ruined her life, she wished that she moved on from Lucas a long time ago. Peyton continued look through the home, seeing how this could all be hers if she just fought harder with Lucas. She let Lucas go without a blink.
Peyton had been fighting all day and felt tired of it, she didn't want to fight anymore. Her voice was getting tired and she a lot of things on her mind. She wanted to move on from this but she was afraid that this what her life is going to be like with Lucas. Lucas slammed his hand on the counter, not wanting to look at Peyton. He was so furious and annoyed with Peyton. This was it, he had to let her go. His heart wasn't with her anymore. They had the whole cafe to themselves, He turned around, taking in a deep breath.
"I think we should break up," Lucas said to her. Peyton was shocked that Lucas wanted to break up with her, it made her not want to leave. She had doubts in her mind but she still wanted to be with Lucas because he made her happy. Peyton's mouth hung open from the surprise.
"No-" Peyton mumbled to herself, wanting to say it out loud but she was shocked. They had been through everything together but now they are just done. Lucas didn't want anything to do with Peyton, it was over.
"I can't do this anymore. We fight all the time." Lucas reminded her. Peyton felt like she could fix this, she just had something to say. She would just have to say something to make him stay.
"You can't." Peyton finally said out loud. Lucas huffed, he didn't want to break Peyton's hurt but he didn't want to be in this relationship anymore. He didn't want to fight for her anymore or be with her. This had to end. "We were getting so close," Peyton tried to explain to him, not knowing what she was talking about. She felt like if she could say anything, maybe he would stay.
"Close to what? breaking up?" Lucas said to her. Peyton paused, she didn't know what to say next. She didn't want to lose Lucas.
"No." Peyton answered his question, a million things were running through her mind.
"You can't tell me that you're not tired of us arguing." Lucas tried to tell her. Peyton shook her head, biting her nails.
"That's what couples do, they fight." Peyton pointed out. Lucas groaned, Peyton wasn't getting it and he felt like he was never going to get out of this.
"Not like us. We fight every second, were fighting now." Lucas told her.
"Because you want to break up with me." Peyton yelled back at him.
"Yes because-" Lucas tried to say but he stopped himself. He felt like he was doing enough damage and that he couldn't do anymore. "We can't do this to each other." Lucas said softly.
"I don't want you to leave. You can't leave me. Were supposed to be together." Peyton smiled, taking a step towards him.
"No were not Peyton." Lucas mumbled but Peyton could hear him.
"Yes we are." Peyton chuckled a little, knowing that this was meant to be.
"No, Peyton." Lucas said, getting more annoyed.
"And why the hell not?" Peyton slammed her foot on the floor.
"Because I'm in love with Brooke not you!" Lucas shouted, telling the truth. This had been bothering him since last year. He felt like his heart was with Brooke and would always be. Brooke and Lucas were close friends but Lucas wanted to be closer.
"What?" Peyton asked him, not knowing that she heard it correctly. Lucas huffed, he didn't want to say it again but he had to.
"I don't love you anymore." Lucas said to her. Peyton took a step back, starting to cry. "Please, Peyton. Don't." Lucas said to her. "Don't fake cry because it's not bringing me back, not anymore." Lucas rolled his eyes. Peyton turned around, angry. She couldn't believe that she was being betrayed by her boyfriend and her best friend.
"Brooke doesn't love you back." Peyton snared.
"She does, I told her earlier today. Were leaving this summer." Lucas said to her.
"Leaving?" Peyton felt like she was getting hit with everything that she didn't want to happen.
"Senior year is coming up. We want to have an epic summer before then. Nathan and Haley are coming." Lucas informed her. Peyton was hurt.
"Shut up." Peyton told him, covering her ears.
"Peyton, you can't shut me out." Lucas took a step towards her. Peyton quickly slapped him, she was so angry and hurt that she didn't know what else to do but slap him.
"You are not breaking up with me." Peyton said angrily. Brooke ran into the cafe, seeing how Peyton just slapped her boyfriend. Peyton saw Brooke walking in, wanting to give her a peace of her mind. "And you! You are my best friend, I can't believe that you're doing this to me!" Peyton yelled at her.
"I do everything for you! It's my turn to be happy." Brooke begged Peyton.
"bullshit." Peyton rolled her eyes. Lucas cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry, Peyton. It's over." Lucas wrapped his arm around Brooke and they walked out of the cafe, leaving Peyton there to cry. Some may call it evil but others may say that she got what she deserved.
Peyton wished that this was their house, that Davis was their son. Of course, she would have chose a different name. She wanted to be with Lucas again, she still had some words for him when they broke up but she couldn't say it. Peyton walked to the bedroom, she saw the room where Lucas and Brooke laid together. She wanted to rip this place apart, she was so bitter and crazed. Peyton saw a picture of Brooke and Lucas, she walked towards it but she noticed that she was falling. Her body fell on the floor, she had tripped on something. She turned around and saw a red box half full of letters in them. She was curious to think that it was letters from brooke. She pulled the letters to her side and started to read them. All of them.
Lucas put his keys into the door but the door swung open. He didn't remember leaving the door open or unlocked. Someone must of broke into his house, he wondered what they had taken. He was mostly worried about the letters. Lucas looked back at Haley, who was holding Davis in her arms.
"What's wrong?" Haley asked him. Lucas had no clue.
"Stay here." Lucas whispered to her, he didn't know what was going on but he needed Davis and Haley to be safe. Lucas tip toed into his house, he looked around and nothing was touched. It was like nobody was here. Peyton appeared from the room, walking down the hallway without noticing that Haley and Lucas was there.
"Peyton?" Haley asked from outside, finally walking into the house. Lucas walked over to Peyton, seeing her smile at him.
"Why are you guys in my house?" Peyton joked, holding her hands up.
"What?" Lucas asked her. He didn't understand how she got here and what she was doing here. Peyton laughed.
"I'm just joking." Peyton laughed a little. Haley and Lucas looked at each other, knowing that something was wrong with Peyton.
"What the hell are you doing in my house, Peyton?" Lucas wanted to cut to the chase. He didn't want to make this conversation long.
"I'm leaving, I wanted to come by." Peyton said to him.
"So, you broke into my house!" Lucas yelled, also thinking that she might have took something of his.
"The door was unlocked." Peyton shrugged her shoulders, she knew that she picked the lock to get in. She didn't want Lucas to avoid her any longer. Lucas calmed himself, taking in a deep breath.
"Peyton," Lucas said softly. Peyton looked up with a slight smile. "I told you that I didn't want to see you ever again." Lucas reminded her.
"I came to say good-bye. I wasn't going to hurt anyone." Peyton said to him.
"But you did, you hurt Brooke. She's gone now. I don't want to talk to you or forgive you. This is my peace with you...never seeing you again." Lucas said to her. Peyton couldn't deny that it hurt, because it did. She felt like she was losing everyone that she loved.
"I don't know what's going on inside your mind but just because you have a full box of letters-" Peyton started to say, she wanted to hit him where it hurt because she was feeling hurt. Lucas paused, he never told her about the letters. "I read the letters, all of them." Peyton smirked. Haley couldn't believe that Peyton would do something like that. Haley looked up at Lucas, wondering what he was going to do next.
"Peyton you had no right." Haley told her, holding Davis tightly.
"I had every right! She was my best friend!" Peyton yelled in Haley's face. Haley took a step back, she didn't want Davis to get harmed.
"You don't kill your best friend." Lucas tried to swallow his anger but it was too hard to go down.
"If anything, you killed her not me." Peyton shot back.
"Peyton!" Haley warned.
"She's gone and she's never coming back." Lucas said to her, trying not to look her in her eyes.
"Jesus, Luke. What is wrong with you? Is that what you keep telling yourself?" Peyton raised her eyebrow. She placed her jacket over her shoulder. She was done with this town and the people that were in it. She could tell that something was seriously wrong with Lucas. "You don't have to worry about me, I'm leaving." Peyton said to him. She turned away, looking at Davis. She wanted to hold him but she was too fragile. "Goodbye Davis Scott." Peyton said sadly, she knew that she would never see him again.
"Davis Haley Scott," Lucas corrected her. Peyton turned around, feeling her throat burn. She knew that Haley was Brooke's best friend, she just didn't want to admit it. She was isolated by the people she loved and it hurt like hell. Peyton didn't say a word, she just walked out and was never seen again.
