Okay so I'm a total Naley and Brucas lover. And I tend to love Jeyton also! But I was watching the last couple of episodes of season 2 and I like fell in love with Pathan. Now I know right now Peyton is not one of my favorite characters but I still love hr deep down and I love the friendship Nathan and Peyton had going on and I decided to make it into a romance. Now this is going to be a Pathan and Brucas story. I'm going to warn you guys that no matter how many stories I write the one couple that will for sure end up together will be BRUCAS. And I will try to keep them to a minimum in my story but I write them the best so it might be a lot of Brucas in this story but not as much as I am going to have PATHAN though. This story starts off in episode 2.21 What could have been. This is just the beginning so give me time to start my plot right. End Rant.
I hope you enjoy!
"Hey." She jumped at the sound of his deep voice. She looked up into his cobalt blue eyes and felt a sense of relief wash over her.
"Nate. Hi." She smiled. He looked hesitant at first until she patted the seat next to her. He smiled at her slightly and sat down next to her. They felt into a comfortable silence.
"What's going on in that head of yours Sawyer?" Nathan was the first to break the silence between the two. Peyton looked up at him confused. "You've been distant lately and I know that were all worried about you." Nathan said answering her unvocalized question.
"Nothing really. Just stuff." Peyton answered with a small shrug as she looked out at the teenagers in front of her. She smiled as she saw a bunch of them throwing popcorn at eachother.
"Just stuff? Come on you know you can tell me Peyton. I'm here to listen." Nathan said as he threw a friendly arm over her shoulder. Sending a shock through Peyton's body. She looked up and was disappointed to see no evidence that he felt the same thing that she did.
"Just some stuff about Jake." Peyton answered with another shrug. Not letting her disappointment show.
"Peyton. He's going to come back. I assure you that. He has something great here and he would be stupid if he didn't come back for you. Because Peyton your worth coming back for." Nathan said as he looked down at the blonde and squeezed her shoulders lightly.
"I could say the same about Haley." Peyton said with a small smile as their eyes connected.
"P. Sawyer!" Brooke yelled as she ran over to the two. The two other teenagers quickly looked away from eachother and down at their hands.
"Hey B. Davis. What's up?" Peyton asked with a raised eyebrow as she looked at her best friend.
"Oh nothing. Except you being a total party pooper!" Brooke said with a sigh as if it were nothing big. But Peyton knew Brooke well enough to know that this was something that was bothering her.
"I owe you a popcorn anyway." Peyton said as she got up from her seat next to Nathan. Much to his annoyance.
"Oh yeah! Well see you later hotshot! Try to think of taking showers without me to ease the pain!" Brooke said with a wink before she went skipping off to the popcorn machine.
"Dude Lucas is going to kill you." Peyton laughed as she gaped at Nathan who wore a expression of embarrassment and guilt.
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him." Nathan said with a shrug. Peyton shook her head at him one last time before she went to go entertain Brooke. Nathan sat back and watched her as she laughed and threw popcorn at Brooke. He felt a feeling he hadn't felt in awhile rise in his chest. And wondered do some things never change?
