Please read the end of Chapter 24 I added more to that chapter and I hope you guys like the story so far It was my first and it had many mistakes but it was fun writing it..there are going to be 3 or 4 chapters left I'm still not sure...I know that these last chapters have been sad and if anyone had a family member die from a heart attack I'm sorry if this story brought bad memories up....Thanks for all the reviews and for reading my first Fanfic :-)


"Today we say goodbye to the soul of Larry Thomas Scott"The Priest said as Peyton put a flower on his casket with tears in her eyes and streaming down her air filled with music from a man playing a soft tone on his acoustic started to head to their cars at the end of the and Nathan stayed behind they knew Peyton would need their support

Haley walked up to Peyton and hugged her while whispering"your going to be fine.. your Family is still here so lean on us to take care of you ok... I love you,girlie".Peyton had tears threatening to come out she knew that Haley was right these three people were all she had left. Her"real" family was up in the clouds looking down.

"Peyton we have to go now people are waiting for you"Lucas said in a hush tone

"I don't care,Lucas"Peyton snapped back

"Lucas it's fine me and Nathan will go to the house and take care of everything it will be fine..Peyton needs you now anyway...and I'm sure people will understand"Haley said only so Nathan and Lucas could hear

"thanks Hales"Lucas kissed her cheek and moved back to Peyton...he didn't want to touch her not yet he told himself that this was going to happen her pulling away and he didn't want to push it

"we will see you guys back at the house"Nathan said as Haley and him walked down the small incline that led them to their car

Lucas waved goodbye..Peyton hadn't moved in a while she just stand there motionless the wind was picking up but she refused to move an sound of Nathan's car faded out just a peaceful russle of the leaves on the ground...Peyton finally turned her head to face Lucas with tear-fill eyes...Lucas couldn't take it any longer he wanted to save her he wanted to take the pain away...He wrapped his strong arms around her waist pulling her so close that nothing could come between them."Peyton I Love You so much I hate that this had to happen to you but I know that your dad is looking down at you and wanting you to be as happy as possible he raised you to be a strong beautiful women and you showed him you are when he was a live you gave him what he wanted...You are the best thing that ever happened to me and I know that the same goes for your dad and your mom and everyone else you know you brighten every room and you were the angel that cleared the dark clouds above my head so I just ask you that you don't pull away cause I.."

"Oh Luke"Peyton said letting the tears come streaming out like a river after a big storm "I can't live with out him...I don't want to"

"Don't you ever talk about leaving me"Lucas grabbed her chin with his hand so he could she her green eyes

" think about all you have done for people..for example Haley you gave her a best friend. you are going to be the best aunt to her gave your parents a beautiful daughter..and me you gave me happiness,truth,and hope."

"what about me Lucas what did I get out of any of it but pain and always leave right?"

"what does this mean Peyton are you saying that this whole thing between me and you is nothing cause to me it's everything"Lucas said with tears in his eyes

"no..Lucas I'm just mad and sad and a little dark...I don't want to talk anymore because your getting mad and if you left then the saying would be true"

Lucas would have walked away full of anger and sadness but he wasn't that low and didn't want anymore pain inflicted on Peyton"Can we go home it's been a long week"Lucas asked moving a little bit away but holding her hand stroking the scar that was left from the night that James had attacked "you go I'll be fine"."no I'm not leaving you here alone"..."I need to talk to some people anyway"

"fine but once your done you call me so i can pick you up ok not to long cause people are waiting to say there sorry for the loss I'll call you like half hour tops ok no longer ill be he..."

"ok mom just leave"

"ok bye"Lucas kissed her cheek and walked down the small incline to his car"
