𝗙𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 :: xxiii. | in the mountains
Everyone was packing for their trip away from Tree Hill to go to the mountains for a nice weekend vacation. They were all excited to have a nice, relaxing time away from Tree Hill with their friends and family but the drama . . . that, they can't run away from.
Julian had left a few days ago back to Los Angeles, Peyton and Chad were still on the outs. Now, Rachel and Ashely were in a middle of an argument of their own. The only sane couple was just Nathan and Haley but also maybe clay and Quinn.
Peyton has been avoiding the subject of marriage for the past couple of days. You could literally sense the tension between them as they both packed their bags in their bedroom on opposite sides of the bed. They would share small glances at each other when the other isn't looking.
As Chad began to zip up his bag, there was a quick knock at the front door. He immediately stopped what he was doing and went to go answer it. Peyton was curious herself so she followed him. She peeked her head around the corner to see who it was. Once he opened the door, there stood Alex Dupre.
"I was wondering if you could help me with something? I mean unless you're busy." Peyton heard Alex from around the corner. Peyton was now leaning back, with her head against the wall.
Chad was a bit hesitant. He didn't really know what to say but he also thought it didn't matter, "Yeah. Let's go."
Chad didn't know where he and Peyton stood. Honestly, neither did she. They were about to go on a trip to get them away from drama, but that obviously isn't the case. Peyton knew she and Chad weren't right. She knew everything was wrong, she just didn't know how to approach the situation. She didn't know what to say to maybe fix it. She didn't want to lose him but she also wants a future, a future where she's someone's wife.
