Peyton smiled as the afternoon sun warmed her shoulders. She threw out her arms and spread out the white paper tablecloth over the long folding table she and Brooke had dug out of the garage earlier that day. As she set up chairs around the table, a thought occured to her, and she ran back inside the house and up to her room. She dug through her

Just after Jake and Jenny arrived, Lucas graced the party with his presence as well. Walking over to the group of friends with a pitcher of his mom's famous Lemonade Iced Tea, a smile grew on his face. When he saw Jenny with Peyton, he couldn't help but let out a quiet chuckle as he got closer, he made his presence known.

"Hey guys, sorry if I'm a few minutes late. My mom wouldn't let me leave the cafe today without bringing some of her Lemonade Iced Tea...and of course, knowing her, it wasn't made yet" He let a slight smile come across his face as he stuck the pitcher out slightly, not knowing what to do with it. "Anywhere imparticular you'd like this to be, Miss Sawyer?" He brought his eyes over to Peyton as he couldn't surpress the full blown smile he was trying to hide.

"Isn't Nate supposed to be here by now?" He looked around, noting his younger brothers absence.

(ooc: Okay, this was my first try at this kind of roleplaying. How did I do? If I screwed anything up, feel free to correct it! Thanks!)

Peyton's already smiling face brightened further still as Lucas appeared in her backyard. She smiled and stuck out her tongue at him, while Jenny squirmed in her arms. She set the little girl back on the ground, so she could run around and play. "Hmm. Big table..." she nodded in the direction of the table with the other food and drinks on it, "And a pitcher of Iced Tea...I wonder where we could put it?" She teased, as she walked over to him. She took the lemonade from him, and went to set it along side everything else on the table.

"Yeah Hales," She agreed, turning to look at Haley. "Where is Nathan....It's not going to be much of a Barbeque without, well...barbeque." She smirked.

"Crap, crap, crap...who calls this music? Good thing Keller brought live entertainment." Everyone turned to see Chris pulling out his guitar case. Peyton leaned against Lucas's shoulder, and gave Keller a smile, despite his take on her musical tastes. "Well, I suppose we could use some live music until Nate gets here." She gave a shrug to Chris that said

Lucas grinned as Peyton teased him about the lemonade. "Hey you better watch it" A smirk came across his face as he pointed her way. As he heard Chris Keller sorting through the music, he looked over in that direction not exactly happy to see him. Once everyone's attention was towards Chris Keller and his infamous guitar, Lucas put an arm around Peyton as she leaned against his shoulder. "Ohh, live entertainment?" He smirked as he looked over at Peyton, then noticed Jenny running around giggling and having fun. A smile came across hsi face as he soon realized how glad he was to be there rather than working for his mom at the cafe.

"Um, well, I don't know..."Lucas knew things with Jake would be akward when Peyton was around, but he couldn't help but be happy around her. He felt bad, that was certain, but they were there to have a good time and Lucas was up for trying his best to pretend like things were at least normal

Jake reminded Peyton of a deer caught in the headlights as they suggested he play with Chris, and smiled at him before she told Chris to have at it and brought the subject around to food. Her stomach was growling hungrily and she wasn't sure she could wait much longer for Nathan to get there with with burgers. She was the first that moved towards the piles of food at the end of the table. Grabbing some paper plates from the pile she handed them around to her friends. She held Lucas's gaze for a moment as their fingers brushed together when she handed him his plate. She smiled happily, glad to finally have made it here with him. Even if it had been a long long confusing road.

Breaking his stare, she looked down to the food and began to scoop some of the Mac and Cheese onto her plate. "Smells good Hales." She smiled.

Lucas smiled as he watched the other's get food and such. He wasn't too hungry due to just ending his shift at Karens and also, being around Jake when Peyton was near made him not have much of an appetite. When he saw the reaction Peyton had around Jenny and how much Peyton truley loved Jenny, he knew Jake and Jenny would be in Peyton's life for a long time. As he continued watching everyone, his mind wouldn't stop. Although nothing has given him a reason to doubt himself and what he and Peyton had, he began wondering if Jake would really step back and just let him and Peyton be them. He knew there would be a long road and he had to deal with the aftermath of when Peyton talked to Jake about all of it, but he tried to push it all down. Drawing in a deep breath, he put his hands in his pockets and rocked back and fourth, suddenly feeling akward around Brooke and Chris, Jake and Peyton, and everyone. Although he knew he wasn't an outcast with the group, past events have changed how he thinks and feels
