People Always Leave

"All right Girly, I'll catch you later!" Brooke Davis skipped happily out the door of Peyton's room. Peyton sighed loudly and laid back on her bed.

"Look who else you sent away." Peyton opened her eyes to find herself standing above her.

"Hey, you actually look somewhat normal now that you look like me. But the difference is that I make me look good." Peyton smiled in spite of herself.

"Oh, ouch." The other Peyton put a hand over her heart.

"Now you wouldn't want to send me away too would you?" The other Peyton smiled.

"You know, I didn't know normal could be such a bit-" Peyton started but was interrupted by the other Peyton saying,

"Oh, no you see, we're the same, you and me. And I sure know that I'm not what you were about to say." The other Peyton smiled as Peyton scowled.

"Why don't you just leave me alone?" Peyton said, getting up.

"Oh, Peyton. Don't you see? I am you. And you can't just tell yourself to leave you alone, because it isn't possible!" The other Peyton smirked.

"I know how you look in the mirror and hate what you see. I know how you want Lucas to be with you instead of Brooke. I know when you lie. I know everything."

"You don't know crap about me!" Peyton said, raising her voice.

"Oh yeah? What about the time you did the line of coke after the first time?"

"It was only those two times!" Peyton said, knowing she was losing the argument.

"Point is Peyton, you send people away. Ellie? Lucas? Jake? Haley?" The other Peyton knew she was getting the best of Peyton.

"Haley left because of Nathan!" Peyton said, raising her voice even higher.

"Maybe, but she still left didn't she?" The other Peyton made no move to back down.

"So. What?!?!?" Peyton screamed this time. She couldn't hold it in any longer. She walked up to the other Peyton and punched her.

"Hey, you throw a nice punch." The other Peyton smirked.

"Oh you BIT-" Peyton didn't finish because she smacked the other Peyton.

"Nice smack too. You can wake up now, looks like you have a visitor." The other Peyton waved.

Peyton opened her eyes, at first unaware of where she was. She then realized she was on the floor next to her bed. She heard footsteps and watched Lucas enter the room.

"Peyton are you okay?" He asked, rushing to her side.

She got on her knees and hugged him, sobbing.

"It's okay Peyton. I've got you. I've got you." He whispered in her ear. This made her cry more. She cried over him, and all the other people who had left.
