After Peyton dropped her stuff at her grandma's house, she had a quick visit to the market to get some necessities she forgot to bring. In other words, toothpaste. Walking in and out of the markets isle, Peyton couldn't believe how much everything had changed. She couldn't find anything. Frustrated, she let out a sigh of defeat.

Just then she was startled as a cheery brunette with a grin plastered on her face came from behind her.

" PEYTON!" exclaimed the brown eyed girl. Peyton could recognize that voice from anywhere. They met when Peyton moved to California, she had been the first to welcome Peyton with open arms.

" Brooke! What are you doing here?" she asked as both girls embraced.

" I was just about to ask you that same thing" Brooke stated with her raspy voice.

"Well this is my home town, and an important person in my life passed on. So im here for his funeral."

"Oh, whitty?"

Peyton's smile slowly diminished as she thought of how it would be without Whitty. He was after all the only one she kept in touch with. He was like her grandpa, and he always encouraged her to be the best she could be. God she loved that old man. " I'm going to miss him."

Snapped out of her daze, Peyton answered " Yeah, but anyways now it's your turn. What are you doing here in Tree hill?"

"Well after I transferred out of FIDM, I transferred here. So here I am."

"Jason told me you were transferring to a school in North Carolina but I didn't know where. Wow it's a small world" Peyton giggled

"So how is he? My brother treating you good still? You guys been taking advantage now that the apartment only has you two in it?" Brooke asked with a devilish grin.

Peyton blushed and admitted the truth, "Brooke… umm … yeah… a lot"

"I KNEW IT! I could tell you look like you've been getting a lot more."

" Oookay, so new topic." Peyton's face was red with embarrassment. "Hey wait is that an engagement ring?!" she said as she pointed to Brooke's hand.

Brooke's eyes lit up; "Yeah it is" she smiled. "He's an awesome guy Peyton. OH! I have an idea we should all have dinner." Brooke clapped her hands with excitement.

"That would be awesome Brooke."

"Yes I know I have a knack at being awesome." She grinned. "Well baby doll I better get going I'll call you we have to go shopping tomorrow."

The girls embraced and said they're goodbyes. Once again Peyton was left alone to continue her impossible search for toothpaste.

Throwing his keys on the couch, Lucas still couldn't believe she was actually back.

On his way home he kept replaying what just happened "She's engaged… But so are you."

For one day he wanted to forget about them both being engaged and let it be like old times. He was now standing in front of his closet. He wanted to look nice. Somehow he had butterflies in his stomach, the kind he hadn't had in a long time. He took out a pair of nice loose blue jeans and a grey T shirt. While dressing, he heard the front door of his apartment open and close.

"Hey sexy boy." Brooke stood at the frame of his bedroom door. "Hey pretty girl" he replied as he finished pulling his shirt over his head. Brooke walked over and wrapped her arms around him. Looking up at him she asked, "Where are you going looking so hot?"

Wrapping his arms around her, he kissed her neck, "I'm going to go have lunch with an old friend. I should be back soon. Probably in two hours."

"Then when you come back your all mine. Deal?"

Lucas willingly accepted her offer and kissed her nose "Deal. I better be going."

Brooke pouted and removed her arms from Lucas. "Be back soon ok… and miss me cause I'll be missing you."

He kissed her and she eagerly responded. Resting his forehead on Brooke's, he whispered, "I'll be back soon, I promise." And with that he walked out of the room, and she heard the front door close behind him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He pulled up in front of Grandma Sawyer's house. It still looked the same. He never really came by since Peyton left. "Just call her and she'll come out." He reached for his phone and realized he didn't have her number. "Shit… ok just get out and knock on the door. Come on Scott it's just a door."

Getting out of the car, Lucas walked towards the front door of the house. KNOCK KNOCK. No one answered. Grandma Sawyer's car wasn't in the driveway, and he could hear music. Yeah Peyton was definitely home. He knocked again, and once again no answer. He turned the door knob and it was unlocked. "Leaving the front door unlocked, Peyt. You'll never learn." He laughed to himself as he walked into the house.

Up the stairs he could hear Peyton's music playing from her room. She had always had a extra room at Grandma Sawyer's house. When they were eleven Peyton had asked Lucas to help her decorate it. So they painted the walls and put glow in the dark stars on her ceiling. He wondered if it had changed. Standing in front of the room he saw Peyton looking through her suit case. He tapped on the door and she turned around to face him.

"You know you leave the door unlocked?" he asked with a smirk

"Yep I know." She walked over and hugged him "You know your hmm lets see…" she looked down at her watch. "Your three minuets late. I'm very disappointed in you Scott." She smiled.

He raised his hands in defeat "Yea, yea, but I'll make it up. You ready to go??"

"Just about let me get my purse I'll be one sec."

Lucas nodded his head and stood in the room with his hands in his pockets. He looked around. The walls were no longer full of finger paints and hand prints, they were painted a solid dark red. But when he looked up the stars were there. A grin formed on his lips. They spent two days gluing those stars. They use to have fake camping trips in this room and pretend those stars were real.

"Hey you ready?" Peyton yelled from down stairs.

"Yeah I'm ready." "I hope I'm ready. Because I need to ask you something…" with that thought he walked down the stairs.

Hello it's me again its three days now you've been

in my dreams and I don't know I guess you've just been on my mind.

I don't know I guess I think about you all the time. I wonder if she's much like me. I

wonder if she's what you need. You know what they say you can't have it till you

want it back I'm way past back. Believe me if you could be in my life like

you've been on my mind it be so easy.
