Tree Hill Lucas Scott is in his apartment his hair is longer he's unshaven he is at his computer staring at the blank screen. "Damn it!" Lucas yells in frustration.
"why, why can't I come up with anything how hard can this be I already have one book published, so why is it so hard this time." Lucas runs his hands through his hair he looks at the picture of him and Peyton taken at the senior prom.
"Damn you Peyton Sawyer." He throws the picture on the floor and it shatters into pieces.
Lucas gets up and grabs a glass and fills his glass with whiskey he takes a swig from the bottle and goes to his window and looks out.
Flashback to three years prior.
Los Angeles Lucas is sitting in Peyton's apartment waiting for her to come home.
"this is it Lucas Scott." He looks at the ring in the box and closes it as he hears the sound of keys jingling in the door. Lucas doesn't notice the box falling to the ground as he places it in his pocket
Peyton opens the door with a surprised look on her face as she sees Lucas standing in front of her.
"this can't be?" Peyton questions to herself she hadn't seen Lucas in several months with her job and him being in Tree Hill it became hard to see each other they still talked all the time.
"Lucas oh, my god." Peyton gives him the biggest hug she could.
"it is so good to see you." Peyton says holding on to him tighter
"Uh, Peyton can't breathe." Lucas says struggling for a breath
"sorry." Peyton loosens her grip "God I've missed you Luke." Peyton says trying not to get lost in his stare.
"I've missed you too Peyton." Lucas pulls her in a kiss
"good I've missed this." Peyton thinks to herself as they continue to kiss
Peyton breaks their kiss and places her bag on the counter and grabs a drink from the fridge. "you thirsty?" she asks as she begins to pour a drink.
"na, I'm good but isn't it a bit early for a drink?" Lucas questions looking at his watch
"it's never too early for a drink Luke come on its LA the bars open at 6am here." Peyton says taking a drink from her glass.
"you go drinking at 6am?" Lucas says shocked
"no Luke." Peyton says dryly
"do you have any plans tonight?" Lucas asks
"no, why?" Peyton asks as she kisses Lucas' neck
"would you care to join me for dinner? Lucas asks trying everything in his power not to rip her shirt off
"why wait for dinner how about we just go for dessert." she says unbuttoning his shirt
"Peyton come on seriously what do you say I go back to my room and get dressed and I take you out for a nice romantic dinner?" Lucas asks trying to keep his composure
"sounds great Lucas pick me up at 7?" she tells him
"I'll be here at 7 to pick you up." Lucas says kissing her on the cheek.
Lucas leaves as she closes the door she notices the box on the floor and picks it up. "Luke" Peyton says as she opens the door but it's too late he has already left.
Peyton close the door and stares at the box "this can't be what I think it is?" Peyton question trying not to open the box afraid that what she is thinking is true Lucas Scott wants to marry her.
Lucas is walking to his car when he reaches in his pocket for his keys and notices the ring is gone.
"shit it must have fallen out when Peyton walked in." Lucas says realizing that he left the ring in Peyton's apartment. Lucas goes back to retrieve the ring.
Lucas walks up the stairs leading to her apartment and knocks on the door.
Peyton opens the door holding the box in her hand. "Lucas what is this?" She asks holding the box
"Peyton you know I love you." Lucas says as he takes the box from her hand and gets on one knee
"Luke-" Peyton begins
"You are the one that I want standing beside me when my dreams come true it's you it always has been you." Lucas tells her
"Lucas I-I can't do this not now we haven't seen eachother in months and you come in here asking me to marry you. I love you Luke and I do want to get married but not now. Come on my label is still not off the ground and you haven't even gotten your first book published yet." Peyton explains holding his hand
"How can you tell me that you love me and then not marry me?" Lucas asks pulling his hand away from hers
"Lucas I never said I DON'T want to marry you I DO --"
"I see just because I don't fit in to your plans you want to give up on us." Lucas says upset that Peyton turned him down
"I am NOT giving up on us at all I just want us to be sure this is what WE both want." Peyton tells him
"Peyton I want you to be my wife more than anything." Lucas tells her slowly garbing her hand
"Luke I want to be your wife SOMEDAY all I am asking is for time if YOU love me as much as you say you do then you would wait." Peyton tells him looking into his blue eyes.
"Peyton I already feel like I've waited a lifetime to be with you I don't want to wait anymore." Lucas says placing his hand upon her cheek
"Luke I can't not right now." Peyton says as she pushes is hand away.
"well I guess this is good bye Peyton." Lucas tells her as he walks out the door
So here I am all by myself thinking of you nobody else There is a feeling inside and as hard as I try it just won't go away Are you finding it hard it all on your own Having to face each night alone Knowing that you are the one with the love that I need And I miss you more each day
Back to current time Lucas shakes his thoughts from his head and takes another swig from his bottle.
"Damn you Peyton the one girl who could wreak me with one look." Lucas thinks to himself.
"you were the one who left." a voice says in the distance
Lucas turns around and sees a familiar silhouette. "it's you?" he says confused
"yeah it's me I see you're still feeling sorry for yourself look at you Lucas Scott a former shell of himself." the voice tells him as it gets louder
Lucas walks over to his desk and opens a drawer and picks up an envelope and opens it. There is check in it made out to Lucas Scott. Here is the rent I owe you I hope this is enough Peyton. He reads the note dated February 5th, 2008 and places it back in the drawer.
Maybe I'm the oneMaybe I'm the oneWho is…The schizophrenic psycho…
Peyton: Okay, you know what? I wanna pay rent. I don't know how I'm gonna do it but I'll figure it out. Whatever this is! I don't feel right about it.Lucas: It's called me being nice to you.Peyton: Well, it needs to stop.Lucas: Maybe you're right.
Lucas takes a swig out of the bottle and throws it at the wall "Damn it Peyton Sawyer." Lucas yells
"Damn me Lucas you say? Damn you're self YOU'RE the one who walked away look at you." Peyton says from a distance
"I walked away YOU turned me down AND called ME insecure what was I to do?" Lucas says yelling at the shadow.
"WAIT for me that is what I wanted." Peyton says as she disappears
"Peyton wait!" Lucas yells as he realizes that she is gone. "Damn it I have got to get out of here." Lucas says putting his jacket on and heading out to the river court.
So this is what I have Hope you liked it.
