"All By My Lonesome"
Peyton's Perspective
Missing Lucas... it seemed to be all I'd been doing lately. I'm beginning to wonder if we
are ever going to be together. After two years of chasing and drama, we were finally together...
"...it's you, the one I want standing next to me when all my dreams come true. It's you..."
Those words stand in my mind.
And now it seems that we'll be apart. Is it really worth it? Being in a mail room in
L.A. when I long to be back in Tree Hill? I've spoken to Lucas five times in the past day. It's not
enough. He and Nathan are going to college soon. Even more miles between us...
Walking to work, I realized that I needed to move on... too bad my heart longed for Tree
Hill and Lucas' arms.
The record label and L.A. were like an old vinyl album, large and plastic. The city had no
real people. There were no Haleys' here, trying to live their lives. There were no Brookes'
either, no true friends, or people who actually care. Just people trying to screw over everyone
else to get ahead. And there certainly weren't any Lucas'. I was beginning to wonder if this was
right for me. Why couldn't I be like Haley, who just wanted to be with Nathan, make him happy.
I guess it's because Haley got all this madness out of her system all ready, going on her tour and
everything. Maybe I just needed some time. That's what I was just gonna have to do, give it some
time.
