Pairing L/H

Summary: Two friends will test the limits and maybe see what's been there in front of their eyes the whole time.

What's Always Been There

As Lucas looked between the girls he could say nothing words were caught in his throat. It hurt him to see Peyton hurt because he cared for her but he had moved on and she figured she had to. Peyton's hurt eyes just starring blankly into Lucas's eyes as if his eyes held all the answers., but they didn't come close to answering ¼ of all the questions she had. Brook was starring at the two of them, just now noticing that no one looking at her. She was like an extra in a already in progress scene out of some movie. So she made herself toward Lucas's room and gathered her things. She headed toward the door and broke Lucas and Peyton out of their lock of eyes as she spoke.

Brooke: look's like I'm not needed here so I'm going to go home

Peyton: no don't let me get in the way of you two love birds as she stormed out the door.

Brooke: you want me to stay?

Lucas: no I'm not really in the mood for company right now but thanx any way (he said in a low voice.)

Brooke made her exit and Lucas was by himself again.

He decided he needed to talk to his best friend Haley James.

He knocked on her door but there was no answer. So he looked at her window to see if her light was still on. It was but he saw the moving reflection of Haley and some boy he figured was his brother. They were holding each other. He felt a pang of anger run through him. He blamed it on the fact that his arch nemesis also known as his brother was using his best friend and she didn't see it. But maybe it was because Lucas had developed more then friendly feelings lately. Maybe because her being with Nathan made his feeling clear and come out of hiding. Maybe he wanted to be the one holding her and running his hands through her hair instead of Nathan. He stood their for a good moment before he saw the light go out in Hale's room.

He ran fast as he could back to his house as anger and pain rose in him . He finally reached his pitch black house not bothering to turn on any lights he just let himself fall on to his bed and just let sleep conquer him.
