Hey guys! This is just a short story that started out as a One Shot but I wanted to add a prologue and epilogue. Basically Peyton finds herself alone after a tragic accident. I think the rest will be explained in the story. Hope you enjoy and please let me know what you think...

Prologue

Peyton Sawyer-Scott is sitting on her bed watching her husband Lucas pack his suite case to go out of town on business. "Don't go Lucas stay here. I have a bad feeling about this trip." She says quietly.

Lucas looks at her "Peyton honey I have to go, if I don't this new book won't be published. Everything will be just fine and I'll only be gone for four days tops maybe not even that long. It'll be fine."

Peyton stares at him "But Lucas this weekend is Jamie's birthday party are you really going to miss that?" she asks.

Lucas runs his hands through his hair and sighs "Peyt I will try to be back by Saturday but this is important to me and you know that." He says slightly frustrated.

Peyton rolls her eyes "Fine!"

Lucas just shakes his head and finishes packing to leave. Once he's finished he closes the suite case and sits it on the floor. "Peyton what's really going on in that head or yours?" he asks coming to sit beside her on the bed.

Peyton looks up at him with tears in her eyes "I'm afraid of being alone Luke, I'm afraid that something is going to happen to you. I have this sinking feeling in my stomach that this isn't goodbye for a few days but goodbye forever."

Lucas pulls her into his arms and holds her for a few minutes. Finally they hear a car pull up and honk "I've got to go Peyton my cab is here."

She looks at him and nods sadly.

He gets up and grabs his suite case, when he gets to the door he stops. He sits the suite case down and walks back to where Peyton is sitting. "I will always be with you Peyton. I love you always remember that." He says wrapping his arms around her.

Tears fall down her face as she softly says "I love you too Lucas."

Three hours later Peyton is sitting talking to Brooke about Jamie's party and what they each got him.

"Well I started a tradition two years ago that I just write him a check for his birthday." Brooke says laughing.

Peyton laughs "Well we got him…" she gets interrupted by the phone ringing "Sorry hold on a second." She says reaching for the phone "Hello?" she says. She listens to the other person for a minute "Yes this is Peyton Scott." She answers. She listens for another few seconds before dropping the phone to the ground.

Brooke sees the terror in Peyton's eyes "Peyton what's wrong?" she asks.

Peyton just stares at her in terror for several minutes "The plane, oh God, the plane." Is all she is able to get out before collapsing to the ground.
