In the next week, Lucas and Peyton had all of their things packed up, and they were both ready to go their separate ways to follow their dreams. The next day they would both leave for school, which would be the hardest day of both of their lives. They had decided to spend the entire day before they left together.
"Luke, I'm scared." Lucas and Peyton were at the Rivercourt talking.
"Peyt, there is nothing to be scared about, trust me. You are following your dream, and that is not something to be afraid of." Lucas pulled Peyton in his arms, and gave her a long, passionate kiss.
"Luke, you always make me feel better. I just feel so safe when I am in your arms like this. I am not scared of going to Savannah, I am scared of not having you there with me. What will happen when I need you like this? When I need you to just hold me, and tell me that everything is going to be o.k., what will I do? I need you Luke. I love you so much." Peyton was now starting to cry in Lucas's arms.
"I love you too Peyt. If you ever need me, I am just a phone call away, and I promise you that if you want me to come be with you, I will be on the next flight out to Savannah, or I will drive there if I have to."
"Luke, you can't just drop everything and come to Savannah every time I need you, or want to be with you." Lucas cupped Peyton's face with both of his hands, and tilted her head so she was looking into his eyes.
"Peyt, I would do anything for you. I know that it is going to be practically impossible for us to be apart like this, but we both need to follow our dreams. It will be different not being a few minutes away from each other, but I am just a phone call away. I meant it when I told you that if you need me, I will be there as soon as possible."
"Luke, you are perfect, you know that?" Lucas and Peyton smiled at each other, and then shared another passionate kiss.
"Not as perfect as you are."
They only had a few hours left together, so they headed back to Peyton's house. Once there, they shared the most passionate few hours of either of their lives. Afterall, those hours would have to last them awhile.
