But the wait is worth it you guys! This chapter is going to be good if you're not much of a fan of Julian and Peyton then you might not really enjoy this.

"MMM" by Laura Izibor

[Cemetery]

Julian walked toward Peyton, who was seated in front of a gravestone.

"Okay, isolated area. This doesn't look good. You must be planning to kill me." Julian joked as he sat beside her. She chuckled.

"Well, it depends if you're nice, I might just consider keeping you around." She told him.

"So what are we doing here?" he asked.

"This is my mom." She gestured to the gravestone in front of them. "I wanted to introduce you to her." She continued. "Mom, this is Julian; the guy I've been talking about. He helped me heal."

"It's nice to finally meet you Mrs. Sawyer." He said as he looked at Anna Sawyer's grave.

"I also wanted to meet you here because I needed to talk to you." Peyton said.

Julian waited for her to continue.

"I'm sorry." She started. "I'm sorry because of the uncertainty of being able to give my heart to you. I'm just scared to go back there." she told him.

Julian looked down sadly. "I get it. I understand."

Suddenly, the rain started to pour. Looking up, Julian stood up and so did she.

"Come on, we should go." He said as the rain poured harder.

"Wait." Peyton said, not caring if the rain soaked them.

"It's okay Peyton." He said. "I'm alright." He tried to say it casually.

He began to turn away when she spoke, "You were right."

He turned back to look at her, waiting for her to continue.

"You're not Lucas." She said.

Julian looked away, trying to stop the tears from falling. By this time, they were completely soaked by the rain.

"But this boy once told me that the best thing about giving your heart to someone is holding onto them and the belief that you'll be loved in return. Because despite all the pain and heartache that happens, the outcome is worth the risk." She said.

He looked at her, feeling confused and searching for an answer.

She took his hands and held them tight.

"I'm hoping that what that boy told me was true; that the outcome will be worth risking my heart for. Because right now, I'm holding on to that person." She said, smiling slightly as tears threatened to fall.

Confused, he asked her, "What?"

"I'm holding on to you." She simply said as she gestured toward her hands, which were still holding his hands.

He looked down at their hands and then he looked back up to meet her gaze with a smile on his face.

"Don't let go, okay?" she asked him.

"No way." he shook his head, as he grinned.

He stepped closer to her and so did she.

"God, I'm crazy about you, Peyton Sawyer." He whispered, as he stared at her eyes.

She smiled and leaned in to kiss him.

They let go of each other's hands as Julian wrapped his arms around her waist and Peyton placed her arms on his shoulders to hold the back of his head with her hands.

Both were engaged in a passionate kiss.

They pulled away slowly and Peyton leaned on his shoulder as he held her tighter but gently. She wrapped her arms on his waist tightly, too.

She closed her eyes, smiling.

He gently leaned on her head and kissed it. "I love you, Peyton. I'm not going anywhere." He whispered.

They stood there, under the rain, both content on having each other in their arms.

"Make everything so simple in this crazy world

And I'm trying to find the words to say

You make everything alright just by being around

You make me wanna sing

You're my light in the dark

Guiding me home

Your faith in me is all I need

Your love, it sets me free."

There ya go! Hope I didn't disappoint how will things be now that Julian and Peyton are together?
