Authors's note: First of all I want to thank LucasandPeytonTLA for your review, everything will be explained as the story moves along. I just want to clear up that anything from season 5 and season 6 didn't happen so that includes every flashback. There will be a little Leyton flashback in this chapter that will make you know why they broke. The next chapter will be longer, the first one was just to start the story and all. Hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own OTH, Mark and The CW do.

It has almost been 3 days since Julian dropped his news to Peyton, so she started to read Lucas' book in the meantime. She knew that Lucas had started writing a book and that she was part of it way back when they were still in highschool. Who knew today was the day she could finally have Lucas' book in her hands.

After reading a couple of chapters, she felt as she needed to talk to her best friend, Brooke. Brooke moved to New York after they came to LA 4 years ago after graduation. Her company, Clothes Over Bros, was now really famous and known everywhere. Brooke got everything she ever wanted, but there was still one thing she missed and that was her best friend.

Peyton grabbed her phone and dialed Brooke's number. But unfortunately she got her voicemail

"Hey, you reached Brooke Davis you know what to do" Brooke's raspy voice said.

"Hey, B. Davis. It's Peyton.. I have to talk to you.. Call me as soon as you hear this" She then put her phone away.

Peyton had the book in her hands and she was staring at it, when she remember one of her last moments with Lucas.

Flashback:

Peyton was lying in her room, when Lucas came in. "hey Blondie" he said as he sat on her bed next to her and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm leaving in a few hours.. I just.." Lucas interrupted her by kissing her, she broke the kiss and stared into his blue eyes. Goodbye was always the hardest part, especially for Peyton after all she'd been through.

"You know that I love you right?" she said as she grabbed his hand.

"Yeah.. What's wrong? You sound really.. off" Lucas was starting to get really worried, as this was their goodbye slash break up.

"I think it's better if we break up, you know. Distant relationships never really work and I don't want you to wait for me." Peyton knew how hard it was this for both of them, but she felt as this was the right thing to do at the moment.

"When two people are meant to be together, they'll always find their way back to each other" He didn't mean to say that out loud but he did. Peyton looked at him a little confused.

"Yeah I think.. Do you actually believe that?"

"With all my heart. Remember: it's always gonna be there, you and me" He kissed her and then got up, he looked at her before making a few steps.

"You know this isn't a goodbye.." And then he left.

End of Flashback

Peyton felt asleep with Lucas' book on her stomach when her phone started ringing.

"Mmh, this is Peyton" she said sleepily

"P. Sawyer!" Brooke's cheery voice echoed in her ears.

"Brooke! Thank you a lot!" She said complaining, before she got up from bed and Lucas' book felt on the floor.

"You left a message to call and I called! So, what's up?" Brooke couldn't wait to know the news and she'd make sure Peyton knew that.

"You know that Lucas wrote a book in highschool? So, it was published a few months ago and now Julian is turning into a movie." Peyton

"Wait! What? Julian as in your boyfriend Julian? Isn't this kind of awkward. That book is a long love letter to you. I thought you knew about this. Oh wait, you're not the book-type girl. Your more into music. Maybe he should have written you a song." Brooke said trying to make a joke.

"Ah ah. Brooke, this isn't funny. I haven't talked to Lucas since I moved here. And well, Julian read the book and he loved my character apparently and he knows is all over between us but Lucas doesn't know all of this. Have you talked to Lucas?" She said as she sat down again.

"Well, I haven't heard from him after his book got published.. Are you and Julian coming to Tree Hill? I mean, that's where the story is set. Maybe he'd like to visit all the places that inspired the book" Brooke sounded more excited.

"I can't go back to Tree Hill. Not after everything that's happened there. I have too bad memories." Peyton admitted.

"May I remind you that that's the place where your epic love story with Lucas began. Who knows, maybe Lucas has moved on. Or maybe the two of you will realise that you belong together."

"What about you, Brooke?" Peyton was worried about her best friend.

"I don't know.. I miss Tree Hill. It was our home. And we had each other there. But this is my dream, Peyton. I can't just leave it all now.

"So what are you gonna do?"

"We'll see..I just have to go now. Bye P. Sawyer" Brooke then hung up.

"Who was at the phone, Brooke?" Victoria interrupted Brooke's thoughts.

"Peyton, she's still my best friend" Brooke put her phone away.

"You're a famous designer now, Peyton is living in LA now go and focus on your work. We've got a lot to do." Victoria said before Brooke alone again in her room.

As much as Brooke loved being in New York and designing clothes she missed her true home with her real friends. She kind of felt alone.

Author's note 2: Okay, lots of Breyton in this chapter. Next chapter will be set in Tree Hill, so there will be mainly Naley and Lucas. Bit of Julian/Peyton. I don't know whether to include a love interest for Lucas too. I just didn't want Lucas/Lindsey in my story because I didn't like them so much as couple. Review and let me know what you think. -V.
