Chapter Five - Crying Makes It Worse (Peyton.)

Beep. Beep.

Peyton looked blankly at her computer, someone was IM ing her again. It was almost 4 o'clock and she was still in her pajamas. Not good, considering it was a Wednesday and she missed a killer math quiz.

She slowly got out of bed and sat at her computer, she opened the conversation, and for a split second, hoped it was the person she always hoped for…Jake.

TutorGirl06: Hey Peyt.

And the hope was crushed…

P. Sawyer: Hey Hales. What did I miss at school?

Peyton sat there at the computer waiting for Haley's respond, wondering why Haley was taking so long, Haley usually talked and talked, especially if it concerned school…or Nathan.

TutorGirl06: Nothing much.

Nothing much? Said by Haley James? Something must have happened at school. Peyton thought.

TutorGirl06: Why weren't you at school today?

P. Sawyer: Not feeling too well.

TutorGirl06: You sick?

P. Sawyer: No, not really, just not having a good day you know?

TutorGirl06: Yeah, I know how it is.

P. Sawyer: How did you deal with it when Nathan didn't want you back?

TutorGirl06: Didn't give I guess, why? Who doesn't want the famous Peyton Sawyer?

P. Sawyer: Jake, Haley. I really miss him…

Tutorgirl06: Peyton…

P. Sawyer: Just let me vent okay?

TutorGirl06: Yeah, okay.

P. Sawyer: I can't stop thinking about him. I'm always either thinking where he is, or if Jenny's safe, or if, god, he's with someone. I know I shouldn't be worried about him with someone else, but I do. I want him with me, or Nikki, or not with some bimbo who thinks they can take care of Jenny. Then, when I'm not crying over him, I'm on the verge of tears. I love him so much, I want to find him, I want him back here.

TutorGirl06: You have to try and forget about him, it's what he wanted.

P. Sawyer: But I don't want to get over him, I want him to be with me always…Hales, I think he's the one…
