Peyton sits in front of her computer thinking about how she would always get on around that time to talk to Lucas before he left to Charleston. She couldn't stop thinking about their fight before he left.
Flashback
Peyton was sitting in her room drawing as always. She hears a knock on her bedroom door. She looks up to see Lucas.
"Hey babe what's up?" Peyton says getting up and giving him him a hug.
"Nothing much I just got back from Keith's."
"Oh really."
"Yeah and we had a long discussion about something."
"About what?"
"About something that's gonna hurt me and you both really bad."
"Lucas your scaring me just tell me already."
"I'm going to Charleston with Keith tomorrow?"
"And your not coming back?"
"Yeah I'm staying."
"What? Why are you leaving me?"
"I need to get out of here. I feel like this is what's best."
"Oh really and how do you get that? Huh Lucas? Your leaving the one girl that loves you so much. How do you expect us to stay together when your all the way over there?"
"I'm not expecting anything Peyton. When I go over there I am dropping everything in Tree Hill and making a new life in Charleston."
"Are you breaking up with me?"
"I think we need to meet new people."
"Meet new people? Lucas I have found the one, your the one. How dare you tell me to find someone else. That is not fair.
"Then what Peyton? How do you expect us to see each other?"
"Simple don't go!"
"Yeah that really works out well. Stay somewhere I'm not happy instead of going somewhere I can start over new."
"And I don't make you happy? Huh that's what you just said isn't it."
"You know that's not what I meant."
"Then what did you mean Lucas cause obviously I don't know you anymore."
"I am leaving tomorrow at 4 so if you want to come by and say goodbye you can, but I won't be coming by here."
"Screw you Lucas I hope you stay miserable over there in Charleston."
And there he went. Just like that. No good bye no nothing. I never knew my world could just leave right under my feet like that.
Flashback ends
She sees a window pop up that says will you accept message from BballFanatic03
'Who in the world' Peyton thinks to herself
She clicks yes
BballFanatic03: Hey Peyton how have you been?
Cheer4Tree: I've been ok? Who's this?
BballFanatic03: This is your ex bf
Cheer4Tree: No it can't be cause my ex bf is in Charleston and they don't have a computer up there.
BballFanatic03: Oh really then how can he be Iming you right now?
Cheer4Tree: Lucas?? Where are you at?
BballFanatic03: I'm back home babe.
Cheer4Tree: Stop messing with me.
BballFanatic03: Peyton I came back for you.
Peyton signs off quickly after he says that.
'No that's someone else. He can't be back. Can he?'
Peyton goes by Haley's and picks her up for school the next day.
"Haley someone IMed me last night from BballFanatic03. Do you know who that is?" Peyton asks to make sure before she got her hopes up.
"Yeah that's Lucas's old SN from a while back. Why what did he say?"
"He said he was back."
"He's back in Tree Hill. Are you serious?" Haley said excited.
"Yeah he said he came back for me."
"Aww I knew he would."
"How do you know?"
"Trust me when Lucas is in love he cannot stand to be away from that person. And I could tell he was head over heels for you."
"I wonder if he's going to be at the school."
"Probably."
"I hope so." Peyton says relieved and happy.
"Wait didn't you two hate each other when he left."
"Yeah, but I've waited so long to apologize to him and tell him I wanna be with him again."
"But what if he doesn't want to be with you again?"
"I guess that's a risk I just gotta take."
"I hope you two do get back together. Cause I can tell you miss him a lot."
"Yeah I do."
Peyton and Haley arrive at school and they go to their lockers. Peyton walks around the corner to find the guy she has been waiting forever to see again with. He was standing at his old locker next to Nathans putting his books back in it. There he was the guy that seems to make her melt inside everytime she sees. She feels like crying when he turns around and falls deep into her eyes. My world all of sudden just came back under me and he was all she could see.
'OMG that was him. He's back. Stay calm just act casual.' Peyton thinks to herself.
She walks to her locker and starts the combination.
"Don't act like I'm not here Peyt. I'm back baby."
"No stop it Lucas."
"What?"
"Lucas you broke up with me and now you come back expecting me to drop everything for you, cause it's not gonna happen." She trys to act mad and upset, but just the look on his face makes her make a half smile.
"Are you sure about that?" Lucas says raising her chin with his hand and pulling in for a kiss.
"Yes I'm sure." She walks away.
'Go back what are you doing walking away from your everything. GO BACK!' Peyton says in her head.
"What's wrong with her Haley?" Lucas says watching her walking.
"I dunno I'll go talk to her. Nice to have you back bud."
"Yeah well I was happy to be back until now."
"Don't worry I will see what's up."
"Thanks."
"No problem now get to class."
"Ok see ya." He gives Haley a hug and walks to class.
Haley and Peyton had first period together so she decides to talk to her then.
"What's up with you Peyton? In the car you were all excited to see him."
"I am excited that he's back, but if I let him back that easily then he's gonna think he can just run over me. I gotta be upset right?"
"No. I mean he came all the way back here by himself for you. You gotta give him some credit you know?"
"I guess I could at least talk to him."
"Yeah you could."
After school Haley walks to Peyton car.
"Peyton look." Haley says pointing behind her.
"What?" Peyton turns around to see Lucas walking towards her.
"Talk to him I will be here sitting in the car."
"Peyton can we please talk?" Lucas says in a begging voice.
"I guess you can come by my place after I drop Haley off."
"Ok cool. See ya lata then."
"K bye." Peyton says opening the door to her car.
"Wait." Lucas says turning her around and finally kissing her again. "I have waited so long to do that again."
Peyton smiles.
"See you miss it. I know you do."
"Bye Lucas." She gets in the car,backs out and leaves.
Peyton pulls into Haley's driveway.
"Give him a second chance. I promise it will work out."
"Thanks Hales I just might."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Peyton goes home and changes for Lucas. He arrives about 15 minutes later. He knocks on her bedroom door.
"Will you ever learn to use the doorbell?" Peyton says looking up from her drawing.
"Why you wouldn't have heard it anyways."
"You think you know me so well."
"Cause I do all so well."
"So what do you want anyways?"
"Peyton I want to be with you again, but the way you've been acting all day you don't want to be with me."
"It's not like that Lucas. I just don't want to be hurt again."
"You won't be."
"You hurt me so bad when you left me for those 2 months without a goodbye, no calls, no letters, no nothing. Lucas you were my everything. And in a snap of your finger you took all that away from me. Why? Why would you do that to me?"
"I don't know, but what I do know is when I got out there with Keith. I thought about you non stop and your presents kept haughting me at night and I knew what I had to do. I had to come back and here I am."
"Well I'm glad your back."
"You got a funny way of showing it."
"Sorry I guess I'm still in shock."
"Yeah everyone is. You should see my mom."
"I bet. Has Nathan seen you?"
"Yeah, but I don't think he cares. He saw me in the hall, but he didn't say anything."
"Yeah."
"So do you want to try this thing again or what?"
"We'll see. Let's just take it slow this time ok."
"I understand, but just to let you know I've matured alot since I left."
"I can tell."
"I guess I'll see ya tomorrow."
"Ok bye."
"Bye." Lucas says walking out the door.
"Lucas!"
"Yes?"
"It means alot to me that you came back and all." Peyton says with a smile.
Lucas just smiles at her and leaves.
