Hey guys I'm finally back! Yes I know this chapter has been a long time coming. But I blame My book I'm writing this out in. my chapter numbers are all messed up in it. So I actually though I was working on chapter 10 when I was working on chapter 11. I've had chapter 10 written the whole time and just didn't think to look at this and then look at the book. So that is why this chapter is mega late.

Thanks to everyone for the reviews from the last chapter I never though I'd get 67 reviews for the story in a couple of hours I was in shock. An has promised there is a surprise for all of you but you have to go my profile and click on the youtube link that says " Peyton's regert". So after you read this chapter go take a look at the video and then leave me a review for both the chapter and the video.

Okay I've talk enough I'll see you guys at the end of the chapter.

I woke up the next morning and I smiled when I saw Lucas laying next to me. I still couldn't believe that he was here. But since we hadn't talk much last night I knew we had to talk to day. There was nothing like watching Lucas sleep. He looked so peaceful when he slept. I had almost forgotten how much I loved sleeping in his arms. I'd always felt save sleeping next to Lucas.

I start to think back to the weeks after the physio Derek attack. I had stayed with Lucas at night because I was to scared to stay alone. I remember I had been Lucas who had gone to the cops about Derek when he had noticed some freaky things about my so called brother. I was brought out of my bad memories of that physio. When Lucas smiled up at me as he opened his eyes and smiled.

"Hi." Lucas said

"Hey."

"How did you sleep?"

"Better than I have in a long time." I told him with a smile of my own.

"Something is bothering you. I can tell."

"We have to about last night Luke. What happen with you and Lindsey?" I asked him.

Lucas sighed before he spoke he looked like he was thinking. I knew that he didn't want to tell me what happen. I mean Brooke had told me last night what had gone on when she had called. But I wanted to hear it from Lucas about what had really happen between him and her.

"Luke?" I asked him.

"It's hard to explain Pey."

"Can you try?"

"Lindsey came over. She said that she had made a hug mistake in leaving me. That she had only gone with the other guy because he was the baby's father. And now that the baby was born she saw that the baby boy had my eyes. So she wanted me back. I told her no that I had just gotten my life back from her leaving. Then she said that the baby was in face mine. I said that I didn't believe her and that I wanted a DNA test. A she agreed to it."

"So then what happen?" I asked him.

"The test came back negative and it turned out that she had lied to me yet again. After that I told her that if she ever came back into my life. I would never speck to her again. I also told her that she had done nothing but ruined my life." Lucas said with a deep breath.

"Oh Luke."

"I mean it Peyton."

All I could do was kiss him. I had been so wrong back home. Lucas really did love me. When we stop kissing I looked into his eyes. An I saw the same fear there I had only seen twice in my life. The first time had been he night after the school bored meeting were Whitey's job had been on the line and Dan had tried to kill Lucas. Because he had honestly though that it had been Luke that set the fire to the dealership. Bu Lucas had in fact saved his life. The second time I saw the look was the day of the school shooting. The day Keith had died.

I will never forget those two days as long as I live. But today I see it. I know that his scared that I'll reject him again. But I wouldn't. I relized something last night and I can't believe I had been lieing my ass off these last five years.

"I love you..." I whispered.

"Say it again." Lucas said.

"I love you. I love you Lucas Scott and I always have."

He didn't say anything else after that he just took me in his arms and started kissing me. It was then that I knew it wasn't for me to return Lucas's love it was true I did love Lucas Scott.

3hrs later

"So will you come home with me?" Lucas asked me.

We had made love again three more times since last night and this morning. But last night made me remember why I loved him so much.

"It'll be hard since my job is here."

"There is still the recording studio at Tric and I think Mia would be glad not having to fly here all the time and I'm pretty sure that Haley will like it better to."

"Give me a day or two to think about it alright."

"Okay. But I'm staying right here until you agree to come back home with me."

I only smiled. It was great to have Lucas here. I would more then likely still be majorly pissed at him and sour if he hadn't showed up last night.

"That reminds me. Brooke told me you needed to check with her, Haley or Nathan and let them know your alright."

"Okay I'lll them a call in a couple of hours."

I just smiled having Lucas here was something I had only ever dreamed about. But it also felt there was another reason he was here. An I'm pretty sure it had something to with us getting back together.

"Luke why did you come after me?" I asked him.

"Because I love you and I wanted to come after you this time. I made a mistake years ago. When I asked you to marry me. An I didn't think straight because I was so hurt. But I won't make that mistake again." Luke said.

I didn't say anything I just listen. The last time I'd even so much as though about that night was the day that Lucas and Lindsey had gotten married. That was also the worse day of my life. I hated to that about that day.

"What are you thinking about?" Lucas asked me.

"The day you and Lindsey got married. I was thinking how it was the worse day of my life."

"How was it the worse day of your life?"

"Because the man I loved was marrying someone else."

"Want to know what the worse day of my life was?"

"What?"

"The day I walked away from you."

"What do you mean?" I asked

"The day or rather the night you didn't want to marry me."

I sighed when I though back to that day. It wasn't really the best day of my life either. I would never admit it but that night was still a nightmare to me.

" I have to say that topped even the day Lindsey left."

"Really?"

"Yeah I knew when Lindsey left it wasn't as bad as the night I though never wanted to be with me."

"But that's the thing Luke I did. Just not right then."

Lucas just nodded. He knew finally I had been right all those years ago. I did want to marry him and I still do with everything in me. I just don't know if I can trust him with my heart yet again. As I laid in Lucas's arms I could finally feel myself breath again.

For the first time in five years I knew that Lucas loved me and that made me the happiest women in the world.
