Waiting On Someday

Introduction

Peyton Sawyer needed to be saved.

And Lucas Scott would not be the person to save her.

Not this time, nor will he ever again be her savior.

Not when he was what she needed to be saved from. Him and his promises, words of true love always and patience, his willingness to wait until she was ready, of how he wanted her to be standing next to him when all of his dreams came true.

Lies, that's what they were.

As an author, he was able to spin words in his favor, using them to lull her into a false sense of hope and love before snatching them back and breaking her heart. Time and time again.

Example one, his father's annual money burn, after she had walked away from him in fear, scared of the feelings that the older Scott sibling had brought out in her, he had hooked up with her best friend. Big no, but she couldn't stay away.

Example two, she foolishly agrees to be with him behind said best friend's back and the second time she ends things with him, he ends up with bar slut Nicki. Way to go, Scott.

And example three, she had said 'someday' and he left her alone in their hotel room without a proper goodbye. He had left her while she was still slumbering; leaving the mix CD she had created for him, of songs that were to remind him of her.

He was always running when things don't go according to his plan.

So, she shouldn't be surprised that he was breaking her heart yet again.

She had returned to Tree Hill, their hometown, for him. She wanted him back, but he wanted nothing to do with her.

At least, that's what proposing to another woman with the same ring that was intended for her had told her. Of course, he had also done so right after they had kissed and she had confessed her reason for coming back home.

She was still in-love with him.

Because, unlike a certain Tree Hill Ravens coach, Peyton Sawyer was and will always be in-love with Lucas Scott.

The heart wants what it wants and she was just waiting for hers to want someone else.

So, what happens when not only one, but two men from her past arrive in Tree Hill, North Carolina, with the intention of taking her to the wedding of Lucas Scott and Lindsay Strauss?

And how will Lucas react once he realizes that Peyton Sawyer may just move on, that it was a mistake to run away and hide his heart?

Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer may never get their happy ending.

But what if that's okay?
