AN: Hey guys! I know it's been quite some time, but I had my last exam yesterday so I finally should be able to get back into things here and start posting again. I have vacation for a bit more than a week now and I really hope I can get some things updated here :) Anyway, here's a new drabble, hope you like it!

As always, thank you so much to 23LaffertysGurl23, emiiix, OTHGirl24, KTxx, Addie9 and LPlover for reviewing! I can't express how much I appreciate that.


51. Eating Ice Cream Straight From the Tub

"Hey, what's up?" Peyton asked with a gentle smile as she took place on the couch next to her daughter.

Shrugging, Sawyer took another spoonful of ice cream before answering her mom, "Nothing."

"So you're just sitting here with some Cookie Dough and a sad face, but there's nothing up?"

Sawyer rolled her eyes, hating but also quite loving that her mom didn't just give up when she told her there was nothing going on. "Being sixteen sucks." She said eventually, digging her spoon yet again in the ice cream tub.

Tucking one of Sawyer's unruly curls behind her ear, Peyton gave her daughter a small smile, "What happened?"

"I really thought he'd ask me, you know? But now he's going with some dumb girl that can't even spell her own name." She sighed before shifting her attention back to the tub in her hand. Thank God for ice cream. "Why do I even care? Dances are stupid anyway. Plus, guys are jerks."

Peyton pulled her closer to her, trying to offer her girl some comfort. "It'll be okay, honey. One day you'll find one that isn't a jerk and believe me, when he'll take you to a dance, you won't think it's stupid. And in the meantime, just be happy you can spell your name, not everyone has that luck." She said jokingly, making Sawyer roll her eyes, but also let out a few chuckles.

"Thank you, mom. I love you."

"I love you too." Peyton answered, pressing a quick kiss to Sawyer curls. "Now do you think you got some ice cream for me too?"
