The Price of Dreams Chapter 11: Missed Call, an one tree hill fanfic

Meanwhile, in Savannah…

Peyton was sitting alone in her apartment just staring at her engagement ring. If she was ever feeling alone, she would just look at the ring and think of Lucas. She would give anything to be in his arms. She couldn't stand being without him, but she felt that she had to be strong for him. She couldn't seem too needy. She wanted to call him every second, but she felt it was good for her to wait, so it would seem like she was busy. She didn't want Lucas to worry about her. Even though she wasn't out having fun, she hoped that he was.

After another 10 minutes or so, Peyton couldn't wait any longer, so she picked up her phone and called Lucas. She needed to hear his voice. When Lucas didn't answer his phone, she became a little upset, but more worried than anything. He never missed one of her calls, just as she never missed one of his. She decided to leave Lucas a voicemail.

"Hey Luke, it's me. I just really need to hear your voice right now. I miss you so much. I just wanna know what the deal is. You never miss any of my calls. Please call me back as soon as you get this. I love you! Bye."

Lucas and Brian had gone out to a bar to get something to eat. Brian knew one of the bartenders there, so he got the some drinks. They started to play some pool, and were having a good time. Lucas hadn't had this much fun since Peyton had left. He felt a little guilty, but he knew that Peyton was probably having fun too, since she hadn't called yet. He then reached into his pocket to make sure he didn't miss her call. His fears were realized when he saw that he had a voicemail.

"Oh shit! I missed Peyton's call." Lucas told Brian he had to go call her quick. He decided to check the voicemail before calling her back.

Hearing Peyton's voice was a very welcome feeling to Lucas, but he felt really bad that he had made her worry about him. He had to call her back immediately so she wouldn't worry anymore. He dialed her number and waited for her to pick up.

"Hey you." Peyton was excited beyond belief to hear Lucas's voice.

"Hey babe, I'm sorry I missed your call. I was playing some pool with Brian."

"Oh, well that is good. I am glad you are out having fun. I was worried about you."

"I know, and I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, hearing your voice made my day. I love you Peyton." Tears were starting to come to Peyton's eyes as she heard those sweet words from Lucas.

"I love you too Luke. I have to say that hearing your voice made my day too. I miss you so much."

"I miss you too Peyt. I can't wait to see you."

"When is that gonna happen? I can't wait."

"Well, I can come anytime you want me to come. Just say the word and I will hop on a plane right now." Peyton smiled. She loved the fact that Lucas would do that just to see her.

"Luke, I am not gonna make you jump on a plane out of the blue just for me. How about you come down next weekend?"

"Peyt, I would do anything for you, and you know that. I would also love to come see you next weekend. I need to see my baby."

"I love you so much Luke. I can't wait for next weekend. This will give me something to look forward to, and what is better to look forward to than my hot fiancé coming to see me?"

"Well, I'd say that there is nothing better than coming to see my gorgeous fiancé. I'll talk to you later tonight before I go to bed. I love you Peyt."

"I love you too Luke. Talk to you later."

After Peyton hung up her phone, she couldn't help but smile. Lucas was coming to Savannah the very next weekend to see her. By that time it will have been two weeks since she had seen Lucas, and that was by far the longest they had gone without seeing each other in a long time, definitely since they had been together. The longest they had been apart since then was around 10 hours, and those hours were usually spent sleeping.
