I'm Yours

As the night went on, Haley opened her eyes in the middle of the night, wishing this day would never leave. Wishing it would stay forever, she knew that at least in her mind it would.

Morning finally came and small streams of sunlight pierced the windows of both rooms.

Lucas sat up looking at Peyton rest peacefully. He felt fulfilled for the first time, when he was with Brooke, Lucas had always been happy, but there is a feeling beyond happiness, a feeling Lucas had never felt and this was it.

As he showered, Peyton awoke, and she as her eyes slowly opened, she remembered what happened the night before, and simply wishes to stay in the room forever in those moments forever.

When Lucas came back into the room, Peyton was up and already dressed, apparently she had ran down to the guest bathrooms downstairs to change, she had all her things packed.

"What do you say you and I head to the beach today Peyton?" Lucas said as he let out a slight smile that was similar to the way a child would smile before he was taken to do something he had waited his entire life to do.

"I say that sounds extraordinary." Peyton replied as they both went downstairs to put their things in Peyton's rental car.

Meanwhile, Nathan and Haley went to meet with The Wreckers as she resigned and thanked them for allowing her to tour with them. Chris Keller had disappeared the night before, though no one knows where.

At the beach, Lucas and Peyton spent the whole day talking about music and all the connections that had to each other. Everything was bliss, but Peyton felt fear to return to Tree Hill in a few evenings, fear that everything would fall apart. Her insecurities were beginning to itch at her again.

"Don't worry Peyton." Lucas said as her mind was drifting and she then turned to look at him.

"I won't leave you behind; I will be here for you. Don't ever be scared. I'm here." Lucas said to Peyton, and four days later as they found themselves on a flight back to Tree Hill, Peyton looked out the airplane window with Lucas at her side, and her fear was gone.
