Authors Note:So this is a Nathan and Peyton one-shot that I wrote because I was bored and in a Pathan mood:P I decided to post it here since no one will probably read it and I'm too chicken to post it on FF.net. It's pretty short and rushed and the first time I'm writing something like this so keep that in mind. The one-shot takes place in 5x11 after Lucas and Lindsey's party.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Nathan was driving around town thinking aimlessly about what his life had transpired to in the last few days. In just a span of a couple of days his nanny turned out to be crazy, his wife kicked him out, and he could barely see his son. He sighed and looked at the clock, 12:50 A.M. He didn't feel like going back to Luke's house. He knew that as soon as he stepped into the house Lucas would bombard him with a bunch of vragen about him and Haley. vragen he probably didn't even have antwoorden to. So he decided to go to the one person he knew would be up at this time.
Peyton was laying on the divan, bank with her hair tied up and in a big t-shirt and sweats. Today was a bad dag and she needed a little comfort. The love of her life was getting married the volgende dag and to top, boven it all off Rachel Gatina ran away with the hard earned money she had gegeven to her best friend to thank her for everything she had done. She sighed when she heard a knock on the door. "Who the hell is it?" she muttered to herself as she walked to the door, but was pleasantly surprised to find Nathan on the other side.
"Hey, Natey." she zei smiling up at him. "What are u doing here?"
"Sawyer." Nathan smiled back walking into the house, " Didn't really feel like going back to Luke's. Whatcha up to?"
Peyton nodded her head understanding. "Watching Grey's Anatomy." She responded slightly embarrassed.
Nathan scoffed, "Grey's Anatomy? Really, Sawyer? You're such a girl." he zei plopping down on the divan, bank and grabbing a bowl of popcorn that was on the table.
"Dude, shut up. The muziek on this toon is amazing!" Peyton insisted sitting down volgende to him.
"Yeah, I'm sure u watch it for the music."
Peyton rolled her eyes, "Well, I guess it's just fun to see other people suffer for a while, u know." she zei softly.
Nathan looked at his friend and noticed just how sad she looked, "You okay, Sawyer?" he asked her concerned.
Peyton laughed, "Shouldn't I be asking u that? How are u holding up?"
Nathan sighed, "Honestly, not that well. I talked to Haley tonight. Thing's don't seem to be looking that well."
"Aw, I'm sorry. I wish Haley would just believe u about Carrie!"
Nathan laughed, "Yeah, me too. But I wasn't exactly in the right. I should have told her about the flirting and the kiss, it wasn't fair to her."
Peyton raised her eyebrows, "Wow, very mature Nathan Scott."
"Whatever." Nathan zei rolling his eyes wanting to get the attention off of him. "So u came to the party with Chase?" he zei wriggling his eyebrows insinuating something.
Peyton laughed, "Dude, I didn't even know it was going to be Chase! All I knew was Owen had a friend over and surprise surprise."
"Chase." Nathan finished off for her.
"Yeah, but it was nice having a date, ya know? I didn't look all pathetic and desperate. Plus he kissed me in front of Lucas." Peyton zei with a smirk.
"Wow, Peyton Sawyer, u are evil." Nathan remarked with a huge smile on his face.
"Hey his idea, not mine." Peyton zei shrugging her shoulders and letting out a laugh. She then sighed, "How did things get so messed up, Nate? u and Haley, Me and Lucas, we were supposedly meant to be and now look at us. u and Haley are barely talking and Luke's marrying someone else tomorrow."
"I don't know." he responded shrugging his shoulders. "I think Lucas still loves you." Nathan breathed out. "He's just a jack ezel with a big ego and I want to stempel, punch him for letting his ego hurt you."
Peyton shook her head, "Don't say that Nathan. I know you're just trying to give me hope, but Lucas is marring someone else. We're over."
"I'm not just trying to give u hope." Nathan insisted. "As cheesy, lame and pathetic as this may sound I do think that u two are meant to be, even meer so than Haley and I."
Peyton turned towards him and smiled, "Thank you."
"And let's just say my dumbass of a brother actually goes through with this wedding and Haley and I don't work out and u and I are both miserable and alone door the time we're thirty. Then we'll marry each other."
Peyton started laughing. "Dude, we suck as a couple. We're both too stubborn and always believe we're right."
"Yeah, but u gotta admit it's fun." Nathan zei winking at her.
"You're crazy."
"Come on, admit it. u want me."
Peyton rolled her eyes, "Fine, IF we're both alone and miserable when we're thirty then we'll marry each other. u can be my back up."
"Oh, so romantic." Nathan muttered in a teasing tone. He then sighed and looked at Peyton, "Trust me Sawyer, everything's going to work out. One way of another."
"My, my Nathan Scott, I'm really liking this mature and caring side."
Nathan scoffed, "Well, don't get used to it, it's late and the emotions just seem to be pouring out. I'm kind of freaking myself out."
Peyton punched him in the shoulder. "Be a man, fool." she zei in a teasing tone causing Nathan to roll his eyes.
"Well, I should get going." Nathan zei getting up. "See u tomorrow? I'll be the sexy one standing volgende to the groom."
"I'll be the girl in green who looks like she just got punched in her goodys."
Nathan laughed and leaned in to give her a hug. Peyton automatically responded. They both held on for a little bit enjoying the comfort the other provided.
"Bye Sawyer." Nathan whispered as he walked out of the house, he turned around to tell her one last thing, "Know that I always have your back no matter what." he zei simply walking out of the house, leaving behind a smiling Peyton.
