The Heart Forgets

Peyton sat there at her computer, she had been getting creepy messages lately from some random person telling her they were watching her, but who? She didn't know, Peyton didn't have a clue, she smiled as a message box popped up on the front of her screen, a message box from Ravens03, it was Lucas. She slowly let the smile fade from her lips as she answered his message.

Ravens03: Hey Peyt.

Punkn'Disorderly: Hey.

Ravens03: We gonna hang later?

Punkn'Disorderly: Yeah, my house around 8.

Ravens03: Miss you, see you then.

Lucas sat at his computer and smiled, he was happy with Peyton, Brooke had left his heart broken when she left at the end of the year, Peyton had mended it. He really did miss her, as she signed offline, a smile tugged at his lips knowing he would be seeing her later that night. Lucas got up from his computer chair and sat down on his bed, what summer had brought him was great, he felt more grown, more manly, more mature. Lucas had some problems with girls in the past, one of the girls was Peyton, but he couldn't lie to himself or her anymore, he had always cared for her.

Peyton saw Lucas sign off, a frown came upon her face, she never liked being away from him or not talking to him for one minute, she loved having him in her life, she really didn't know what she'd do if he wasn't around, she felt guilty though, felt guilty for moving on from Jake, she would always love him, but not like she loved Lucas, Lucas had brought her a whole new type of love this summer, she was thankful for what summer had given her, the chance to spend it alone with Lucas. They were both left alone and sad at the end of their junior school year and found their way to eachother, found their way back to eachother. Peyton sat on her bed and sighed, what was she to do? She knew Jake could be back at any time, how could she explain her new romance to him? To be honest, she couldn't, but she wouldn't leave Lucas for Jake. She was sure of that.

She walked into the bathroom that linked onto her room and began to remove her clothing. Her black shirt fell to the floor as she dropped it from her right hand. She slowly removed her blue jeans too, as she did that, she reached in her shower and turned on the water, steam coming from the shower, due to the fact that the water was quite hot. Peyton finished removing the rest of her clothing and stepped into the shower. As the water drops trickeled down her back, she smiled, thinking of Lucas and in a few short hours, she would see him.

She quickly finished up in the shower and got out wrapping a white towel around her body and another around her wet blonde curly locks, Peyton walked out of the bathroom and into her closet, grabbing a pair of jeans and a white tanktop, she smiled, this was the perfect outfit, layed back, but still cute.
