She turned her head…
She saw him…
The love of her life…
She ran to him…
As soon as she got close to him…
She woke up.
6 months, 2 weeks and 4 days. That's the last time she saw him - in reality. In her dreams, in her thoughts, in her heart - he never left her. He was still with her, every day, every hour, every second.
Peyton Sawyer scrambled out of bed, That was the seventh time this week that her dreamed ended, just as things were getting good - great, actually. Peyton laughed out loud. Her dreams mirrored reality. As soon as things got great in life, they ended. With her mother, with her birth-mother…
With Jake. They had met in their junior year. Friends first, but she knew from the beginning the instant connection she had with Jake. He fled Tree Hill, for his daughter's safety. Then returned, Jenny's safe life starting, as well as their romance. Suddenly they were in love, happily and drama free. Her life was finally taking a turn for the better.
Then Nikki came into the picture. Jake's ex, Jenny's evil birth-mother, Peyton's bitchy enemy. Nikki suddenly took control of their lives, Jake was in jail. Then when they thought things were going to get better, Nikki kidnapped Jenny. Leaving Jake running again, and Peyton alone and heartbroken.
Peyton changes into new clothes, brushed her hair and headed out.
BEEP! BEEP!
Peyton turned around and looked at her computer. Could it be him? Did her get a hold of a computer to try to contact her? She ran to her computer and opening the beeping conversation.
Tutorgirl06: Peyton?
Just Haley, she thought. She closed the conversation, erasing anything else Haley had to say. She looked around her empty room. Picturing where Jake placed Jenny's crib, where they kissed, everything.
She sighed heavily , glances on last time at the erased conversation, and of Jake's drawing. She kissed her hand lightly and placed it on the picture.
"I love you Jake." Peyton murmured.
She turned and put that fake smile on her face, To face her reality…without him.
