I left but I'll come back Chapter 2, an one tree hill fanfic

Thanks for the review, I really appreciate it. By the way I was rushing the story because I'm gonna start the real story by the time she gets back from Canada. The first chapter is just like an intro. But anyway thanks for the suggestion, hope you like it!

Chapter 2

Lucas's POV

She was really leaving. Lucas sat in his room thinking. "What should I give her to remember me by?" he thought for few seconds. "Maybe a letter?...nah! Its to cliché…maybe a drawing?...who am I kidding I can't draw even when my life depended on it!" he then asked the other person in his room for any suggestions. "Brooke, what should I give her?" "I don't know! I'm not the guy who likes her. Hell! I'm not even a guy!" they both laughed at her sarcastic remark. "Brooke this is serious, by the way thanks for not spilling the beans to her at the first day of school. She was getting suspicious." "No problem super star!" "Okay back to the real task at hand. What should I give her?" "I know! Maybe a mix tape!" "You're right Brooke! Thanks!" "The only problem is what song you should put. I know my friend Peyton and her songs are messed up." "Don't worry I'll handle it." He said with a huge smirk on his face. "Okay" after their conversation he left.

Lucas ran to Peyton. Catching his breath, he wanted to tell her that she should promise she would wait for him before the day she leaves. When Peyton saw Lucas running and stopping in front of her, she was really worried so she asked him "What's wrong Lucas, are you getting chased by bullies and decided to let me fight the?" She said with a really sarcastic tone that anyone can be annoyed at. But instead of getting mad, he actually liked the stupid comment, so he replied "Nope, I just wanted to catch a glimpse of your face…" she couldn't help but blush "But the real reason I came here was to tell you to wait for me before you leave for Canada. I have a surprise for you." "You really shouldn't have, it's not like I'm never coming back here, maybe I'll visit after five years or so but I wont leave you guys here." She said with much sincerity, he couldn't help but be happy. When he heard that she was leaving it crushed him, more than anyone can know. But when he heard that she might comeback, it plastered a huge grin on his face. It made him so happy that he did the unthinkable. He kissed her, at the age of thirteen people shouldn't really do this stuff but who cares! It was the only thing he could do. After the kiss ended, he noticed that she was blushing like hell! He thought she was going to be a red tomato so he made a smartass remark. "Am I really that good! Dude if you blush some more you might end up looking like my apple!" "I could say the same to you!" he hadn't noticed it but he was also blushing. They were both standing on the rivercourt, blushing, when they heard a noise behind the bush. "Ah! You guys look so cute!" When they turned around they saw Nathan and Haley. Haley was jumping for joy and Nathan just plastered a smile on his face. "Does this mean you and my bro are together?" she replied "We can't, I'm leaving for Canada…" then he cut her off and said "Yeah we can't, that was a mistake, that shouldn't have happened. I'm sorry Peyton, I just got carried away"

Everything he said was a lie.

She looked at him with disappointment and said "It's okay Lucas. I know we can't do this cause we're only gonna end up hurting each other." Then she looked up. He saw the sadness on her face, it crushed him. No matter how many times he denies it he was falling for her, and he made it more complicated for them when he kissed her. He didn't want to make her departure harder for her than before. So to comfort her, he said "I know, so just go and be happy there, I don't want to be the person that holding you back. So promise me you'll have fun there, Ok?" then after that he hugged her, not an intimate hug, more like a comforting hug. He liked the feeling of her being in his arms. It made him feel like she was his and everything was going to be ok even though its not. Suddenly she moved and whispered on his ears "I promise." After that they pulled apart then both walked on different directions. He was going to the record store and she was going home to finish packing her stuff.When they left both Nathan and Haley looked at each other and said "What just happened!"

Meanwhile, while Lucas was searching for the perfect songs he suddenly heard a the store bell ring. He looked up to see who it was. It was Jake, he knew Jake liked Peyton so he couldn't help but feel jealous at him. He suddenly heard him call his name. "Sup Luke! What you doing?" what a faker, he thought but it's not for him to judge. Maybe Jake just really wanted to be nice to him so he replied "Nothing just looking through some c.d.'s" "Cool…hey um can you help me with something?" "Shoot" "Well I kinda want to give Peyton something special and since you are close to her I was wondering If you can give me some tips?" When he heard this his heart just stopped, he looked at him, and behind his gaze there was jealousy. "I and she aren't really close." "What are you talking about, you two always hang together! C'mon please…" then he thought for a while then had an idea. What if he sabotaged him, or made him do something stupid? So he said "What about you sing to her." "Ok? Why?" "Because you want it to be special, right?" "What about you sing to her tonight below her window." "Ok, whatever you say." Then Jake left. He just didn't know Jake could sing, but we will get to that later. He sure wasn't gonna miss that, a chance to see little ol' Jakey humiliate himself in front of Peyton. So he quickly got the c.d.'s he chose and hurried up to his house to drop them off so he can watch the grand show.

It was seven in the evening and Lucas was sitting behind one of Peyton's bushes so he could watch Jake make a fool of himself. While there he was thinking of what could happen when she returns from Canada. Will she change, will she change for the good? Will she even remember him. All those thoughts were circling in his head then suddenly he saw Jake walking down the street so he hid behind the bush. He was holding a guitar and some flowers. Lucas thought this was going to be good so he couldn't help but chuckle. Good thing Jake was too nervous to hear him or else he would be dead. Jake placed down all his stuff and grabbed a bunch of pebbles and threw them at her window. After the third Pebble He saw Peyton look through her window. Lucas couldn't help but stare at her because even though her hair was like a bird nest, she couldn't help but look stunning. After looking outside her window to see who it is, she was disappointed because she thought Jake was Lucas. So she asked "Oh…hey Jake, what are you doing here?" "I just wanted to give you my good bye present, just stay there" he grabbed his guitar and started strumming. Lucas was surprised cause he didn't know that he could play the guitar. After the intro he started singing a song by Rhett Miller. The song was called come around and Jake sang it like an angel. Lucas was surprised and mad because he just made him serenade the girl she loves.

I'm dressed all in blue

And I'm remembering you

And the dress you wore

When you broke my heart

I'm depressed upstairs

And I'm remembering where

And when, and how, and why

You have to go so far

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life

I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life

Unless you come around

So come around

I'm dressed all in white

And I remember the night

You came on to me

And opened up my heart

I was hollow then

'Til you filled me in

Now I'm empty again

I should have never let it start

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life

I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life

Unless you come around

So come around

No one else can fix me

Although sometimes my heart tricks me

Into thinking someone else will do

But you're the only one

You are the only one

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life

I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life

Unless you come around

So come around

I'm dressed all in blue

And I'm remembering you

And the dress you wore

When you broke my heart

When the song was done, Peyton ran downstairs and hugged Jake. Jake gave her the flowers and hugged her some more. Lucas watched from afar and a tear escaped her eyes. "What have I done…"
