Chapter 4
Peyton and Lucas walked into their house with grocery bags.
"Thanks for taking me to the grocery store Lucas," Peyton said.
"Until this creep is caught, wherever you go, I go," Lucas said.
"Please don't," Peyton said.
"You are my wife and I'm going to protect you," Lucas said.
"You're so sweet," Peyton said. "But you can't always protect me."
"Sure I can," Lucas said. "And I will."
"Thanks," Peyton said. "Now I'm going…"
"I'll drive," Lucas said.
"I'm going upstairs to take a shower," Peyton said. "Then I'm going to take a nap."
"Oh," Lucas said.
Peyton went upstairs and Sawyer walked into the room.
"Hey Dad," Sawyer said.
"Hey sweetie," Lucas said.
"Is it okay if I stay the night at Sara's?" Sawyer asked.
"If you want to," Lucas replied.
"You know her parents are being weird and not letting her go to the prom," Sawyer said.
"Why not?" Lucas asked.
"Just because she got drunk at a party once," Sawyer replied. "I mean it wasn't even her fault. That punch was spiked."
"So are you going to the prom with Justin?" Lucas asked.
"Dad!" Sawyer said. "Justin and I broke up weeks ago. I'm with Trey now. Keep up."
"Lucas!" Peyton shouted as she came into the room with her phone.
"What's wrong Peyton?" Lucas asked.
Peyton showed Lucas her phone.
"I got this text from a blocked caller," Peyton said.
"You can't hide from me Peyton," Lucas read aloud. "I know your every move. I won't stop until I have you Peyton. Love WATCHMEWATCHU."
"What's going on Mom?" Sawyer asked.
"It's just someone trying to scare me," Peyton said. "It's nothing to worry about."
"Nothing to worry about?" Lucas asked. "Peyton! This maniac spray paints your car and now whoever it is has your number!"
"Calm down," Peyton said.
"We need to report this to the police," Lucas said.
"But Lucas…" Peyton said before Lucas cut her off.
"No buts," Lucas said. "We're calling the police."
