Many THANKS for the reviews!

"It felt like hours. We stood there. All quiet. There he was. The one I hurt so much all those years ago. Who was more grown up then the rest of us . His face hadn't changed at all except that he, when he laid eyes on me, got something uncertain in his eyes. It made me sad. It made me remember when he looked at me with love. Like a friend. It made me uncertain…"


"Jake! Jake!" Pete rushed up to them.

"don't just stand there! Serve the customer! I'm so sorry miss!"

Peyton shook her head.

"It's ok. I have to go". She almost ran out.

Her nose was red, swollen and it ran.

'God!' she thought 'Oh God!'

"Peyton wait!" Jake ran up to her.

"Why are you running? "

"I… I don't know… " She felt confused. She didn't know why she was running. Couldn't understand why she felt so small in front of him.

"What are you doing in New York, Peyton?" He wondered.

"College." It wasn't more than a whisper.

They stood there all quiet and looked at each other. The sky was getting darker, more and more people showed up on the street, and entered the coffee shop.

Jake was the first one to speak.

"Guess I'd better go in and…"

"No! Don't go! Stay here. Stay with me." She felt surprised by these thoughts.

"Yeah, off course. I have to get in to bed so… well… bye Jake". She started her short walk back home.

"Bye. No, Peyton wait! Maybe you could drop by sometime. I'm here every day but Saturday." He shouted after her and went back inside.

'Why was I so surprised to see her? I already knew she was here…..! God! My knees are shaking!

Hmm. Her hair is longer then before.

"Maybe you could drop by" …'

He gasped.

"Who was that?" Pete asked when he came back inside.

Jake considered his answer.

"A friend."

"Wow… Exquisite!"

Pete laughed and walked away to take orders from the customers.

"Yeah, she's gorgeous." He said more to him self then to anyone else.

The radio was playing in the background.

When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.


Peyton laid down on her back in the bed. She couldn't breath. The silence was unbearable. She reached out her arm and switched on the radio.

When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

She turned it of again. 'Why can't they play happy songs?'

She turned over and fell asleep.


"Peyton! I've a surprise for you! Look! "

Lisa gave Peyton a small piece of paper with a number on.

"What's this?" She asked suspiciously.

"Its HIS number! You know Franny in my French class? She works at Grey's to!"

"Lisa…"

"Don't tell me you don't want it! You've been very zombie like since you bumped into that guy! So do me a favor and call him! "

" I don't know Lis. This feels a little weird. You know. Kind of Stalker-ish…"

"Believe me, its not! He asked you to come by and it's been a week! He probably thinks that you don't want to have anything to do with him! CALL!"


Thank you for reading!

I know this chapter was very short and im sorry, but I was temporarily out of ideas. But there will be more!

PLEASE review!

Thank you Josse for saying what you think. (I guess I won't take the coffee-cleaning part.)
