School
Lucas jogged over to Peyton and took a grip of her hand.
"Peyt, everything okay? Did you hear from the doctor?", Lucas asked concerned.
"No. That's not it. I think we made a mistake Luke. You and Brooke are meant to be together, you both love each other.", Peyton responded solemnly.
"Except that's not true. Because I love you, not her.", Lucas told her calmly.
"Um….then can you do me a favor?", Peyton asked quietly.
Lucas smiled, "Sure Peyt what is it?"
Peyton looked afraid and slowly said, "Don't talk to Brooke anymore."
There was a long silence until Lucas looked over at Peyton and tightened his grip on her hand. "Of course. Anything for you.".
Peyton smiled to herself and felt happy as her insecurities fell to the ground and she snuggled into Lucas' neck as they walked to class. As they reached English and they took their seats from across the room Peyton looked over at Lucas and felt happier than she had in a while.
As she closed her eyes and waited for the bell to ring signaling the end of class she saw the teacher was scolding someone….. that someone being Lucas.
"Mr. Scott, care to share your note with the class?", The teacher asked rudely.
"Sure Mr. Becker.", Lucas said with a smile in what Peyton thought was her direction. "Dear Peyt, I'm glad were together again. I love you. Love, Lucas", He told the class proudly.
