"Dad! I'm off to the airport." I yelled up the stairs to my dad. I waited for him to poke his head out of his door.

"Why are you going to the airport?" He asked.

Its amazing the things he forgets.

I shook my head. "To get Pete. Remember?" I asked.

"That was this week?" He asked.

"Yes, dad." I looked at my watch. "I'm leaving now."

When I saw his face I got chills. I ran over to him. Jumping in his arms I gave him a kiss,

"Well hello to you too." He said when our lips parted.

"Hi." I said looking into his eyes.

"I've missed you." He kissed my cheek.

"Like wise Petey." I grabbed his hand. "Shall we get home?" I asked.

"We shall." He laughed.

My dad was sitting on the porch drink coffee when we pulled in. Pete took his stuff out of the trunk then followed me to the porch. We stooped when we were by my dad. My dad was looking Pete up and down. I could tell by the look on his face he was a little freaked out. I've never brought a guy home who was tattooed head to foot.

Pete sat down his suit case and extended his hand. "Its nice to meet you Mr. Sawyer." He said.

My dad waited a second then shook his hand. "Its nice to meet you too."

It was awkwardly silent for a minute. I stood there not knowing what to say to break the silence. I grabbed Pete suit case. "We're going go upstairs dad."

"Peyton let me carry my own suit case please." Pete said trying to take it out of my hand.

I wouldn't let go. "No boyfriend of mine with a broken leg will be hiking up the stairs with a suit case."

Pete shook his head. "Whatever you say Peyton."

My dad sat back down in his chair that was on the porch and took a sip of his coffee. Under his breath he said "at least he wasn't going to let Peyton carry that for him."

I opened the door to my room, pulling the suit case in I set it by the bed. Pete walked into the room a few seconds later. His cast made him walk so slow. He looked around my room. He stared at my art for a minute then noticed my record collection.

"Nice room." He said in a serious tone.
I sat down by the computer. "Yeah. Its not bad." I said in a sarcastic tone while looking around.

Pete plopped onto the bed with a sigh. "I'm so glad to tour is over."

"Me too." I said as I walked over to him.

"You have no idea how much I missed you." He told me.

"I think I do." I said in a serious tone. "I missed you like crazy too."

He smiled then kissed me.

"I've missed that." I told him as our lips parted.

He smiled. "So what do you want to do?" He asked as he stood up.

I looked at him for a minute. I mean I could have sat there and kissed him all night, but apparently he wanted to do something else.

"I don't know. I mean Tree hill has a lot of nothing to do."

"Hmm." He almost sighed out.

"Want to just drive around town?" I asked.

"Sounds good to me." He said taking my hand to pull me off the bed.

Pete sighed out of boredom. We were parked at the river court. It was completely silent besides the occasional sigh Pete let out.

"I told you Tree hill was boring." I chuckled.

He just kept looking at the blacktop. He hadn't said anything in a really long time. I was beginning to think I did something wrong. I mean why wasn't he talking to me? After a few more minutes of silence the question had to be asked.

"Did I do something wrong? Cause if I did I'm sorry." I blurted out.

Pete turned to look at me. His face was full of confusion. "What? Of course you didn't do anything wrong."

"Then whats wrong? That was the most you have said to me since we have been here." I said in a almost angry tone. I didn't want this to be our first fight, but it looked like it might be the start of it.

"I was just thinking." He told me.

"What were you thinking about?" I asked. I needed to know. I don't for the life of me know why I needed to know, I just did.

He turned almost all the way in this seat so he was fully facing me. "I was just thinking that you should go to college somewhere in LA."

That kind of took me by surprise. Part of me was thinking that he was going to break up with me because I was too boring.

"LA?"

"Yeah. We could live together, and be with each other." He told me. "I just don't want missing you being a constant part of my life. You living with me would fix that."

That was the sweetest thing I think anyone has ever told me in my entire life. How could I say no?

I just nodded my head and said a quite "Ok."

He looked at me and repeated "Ok?"

I nodded again, before kissing him I said "ok." Fav OTH Quote:
