Peyton and Lucas walked to the river court, Peyton was trying to keep her cool, she was afraid of what she was really feeling for Lucas.

Lucas was mixed with emotion, He was happy, thrilled, excited, that Peyton finally wanted to talk, But he was also scared and worried that this was the end, of whatever, was going on between them lately.

" it's nice here" Peyton says as they walk to the middle of the river court.

" yeah, it's were I do my best thinking," Lucas says as he pull her closer to him, he was trying to keep her as close as, he could because, he didn't know if this would be, the last time. " well, what do you want to talk about." he asks in a very nervous voice, He kissed the top of her head.

Peyton looked up at him, and smile, " yeah, we need to talk, so let me go first?" she says as, she pulls away from him, she turn her back to him, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath, than she turn back around. To see him laying down in the middle of the court. .

" what are you doing?" she asks, with a smile looking down at him, he was laying flat on his back, with his arms behind his head.

" Hey, I told you this is were I do my thinking, I like to lay down in look up at the stars, " he said with a smirked,

she sit down beside him, shaking her head, they locked eyes for a moment, she wanted to lean down in kiss him, but she kept hearing Brooke's voice 'no making out, talk," she sighed

" you know, this past month, I would come down here, every night, lay right here and, wonder where you were, who you were with, if you were thinking of me," he paused "I'll stare up at the stars, and see the similarity in your eyes, he reached up and gently stroke her cheek, " you are so beautiful, Peyton, I ..............

" Lucas," she interrupt " we are here to talk, if you keep saying thing like that, we will never get to the point, ." she takes another breath " okay, here it goes" she broke the gaze and, looked down at her fingers, that were in her lap.

" I know, I'm kinda of strange, to you sometimes, don't always say, what's on my mind, you know that I've been hurt, by some guy, but I don't want to mess up this time. Because, I kinda of, sorta, maybe. like you alot more, than I originally planned. she paused, her heart was beating so fast, as she finally, looked up at his eyes.

He reached over in took one of her hands in his, She smile before continue.

" I'm sorry, for leaving the way I did, I'm sorry, that my goodbye was in a letter, I don't do good with goodbyes." she says, as she started to play with his fingers.

" look I know, that in the letter I wrote, that I just wanted to be friends, I meant what I wrote I did, I just didn't plan on miss you, as much as I did."she says, in a quite voice

Lucas smile, he sat up and, reached out to lift her chin up, they locked eyes, he lean in blush his lips to her's gently. He pulled back and kept his eyes locked with hers, giving her a nod to continue.

Peyton moved closer to him, he open his legs, she turn around so her back was against his chest. He wrap his arms around her as tight as he could.

" Went I left here, I was so confused, I never meant someone, like you, you make me feel things I never have and that scares me. Ever sense Tyler, I have always watch out for my heart, I hated high school so much, I probably wouldn't of made it thought the four years, if it wasn't for, Brooke and Haley." she says as she feels the tears burning her eye"

"Hey, Peyt, you know that none of the was your fault, that guy was an ass, believe me if I knew him or, ever meant him, I would beat the hell out of him, just because he hurt you, I never want you to hurt. For the record I would never hurt you." he says and a very serious voice, as he kiss the side of her head.

" I know, that it wasn't my fault now, but back than i was lost in a lonely place, holding on to the pasted, I thought I would never learn to let it go, I thought I was meant to be alone, then out of the blue, you walk in to my life." she pause, than look up at him and, smile " I do, believe you would never hurt me." she stroke his check " Lucas, I'm sorry, for hurting you."

Lucas heart was breaking, as he looked in her sad eyes, he lean down in kiss her more passionately this time.

" Peyton, it's okay, yes, I was kinda hurt with the way you left, I wanted to call, hell, I want to chase after you, but Haley said, that would of push you away, she said, to give you time. So that's what I did, I read that letter everyday, well mostly my favorite part when you said, you couldn't say goodbye in person, because part of me was afraid that I wouldn't wanted to leave you."That part of the letter it, kept me going. I thought about you everyday, you were the first I thing I thought of when I woke up, the last thing before I close my eyes. You even..................

" haunted your dreams, she says,

" yeah.......... did Haley tell you," he asks surprise that she knew what he was going to say

She shakes her head " no........no she didn't, I felt the same way you did, Lucas, you were on my mind all the time, even when I would fight against it, I couldn't stop. Part me didn't want to" she lean up in kiss him.

As the pulled a part, she smile brighter than Lucas, has ever seen, " you seem to light up my day every time you smile" he says with so much love and his voice,

Peyton put her head down to hide her red face, she doesn't understand how he doesn't that to her.

Lucas laughs, he takes a deep breath, before he speaks, " Peyton, that just makes you more sexier, with you blush,

They sat there in the middle of the river court holding each other, enjoy the cool breeze,

" So........ where dose this leave us, " Lucas said as he broke the silences " I mean, today at the airport, a couple hours ago on Haley's and Nathan's couch, we were acting like a really couple........... so is that what we are now." He asks, with hesitation in his voice

She turn around, so that, they were face to face now, she wrap her arms around his neck. He wrap his around her waist. " I know, I probably confuse you today, first, writing you a letter just a month ago, telling you I just want to be friends, than today throwing myself on you" she signed " I can't explain it, I was so worried on the plane I didn't know how to act around you, I was afraid you hated me, but when I seen you, standing there, I just, something inside of me snapped. I just missed you, so much, I don't know how you do it, but you make me feel safe when I'm in your arms. So I needed to touch you, that's why I hug you, then you kissed me, I wasn't really ready for that because, when you kiss me I forget were I I'm . But I think .................... I'm ready for something more. I want more Lucas, I want to be with you, I mean if that's, what you want, If y................

His lips cut her off, they smile at each other,

" Lucas, I want to try this with you, I do, but as soon as I'm happy and, I think everything is right................. my whole world ends up crashing down on me. I'm lot to handle sometimes. "

He put his finger to her lips

" Peyton, stop, let me talk, okay," he took a deep breath and, gently kissed her sweet lips once again, " I want to be with you, I want to started a relationship with you, I want you to be, my first girlfriend, well, I really want you to be my only girlfriend. He push her hair behind her ear. " Skills took me club, a couple of weeks ago, I had all kind of girls hitting on me, to be honest I could of had any of them, but I ignore everyone of them, because I only wanted you." he says in serious tone.

" Lucas, what about LA, I mean I live there and, you are here, do you think we could handle long distance," she says with the same tone

" Peyton, I don't care about the distance, I just care about you, I'm willy to do whatever, it takes to make this work. I want to be with you, we have phones, texts, im, video chat, there is alot of ways to keep in touch, I just want to be the last number you call late at night, the first one that you dial, when you open your eyes. I wanna be the one you run to, when you feel like the world is crashing down on you, I ll be there to help you pick up the pieces." he paused " Peyton I love you, I'm pretty sure that I'm in love with you, I fall a little more each day. " he say, his voice for of emotion.

" Lucas," she pulls away immediately after those words came out of his mouth. She walks a couple feet away for him, She closed her eyes trying to think of something to say.

Lucas was confuse, he really thought she was headed in the same direction, he thought she was going to say I love you to, But boy was he wrong. He stood up in walked over to her, he placed his hands on her shoulders,

" Peyton, Please talk to me, I need to know, what you are thinking, "

She slowly turned around, he cupped her checks, she couldn't whole the tears back anymore,

The sight of her like this, literally broken his heart, he just told her he didn't want to hurt her, and now she was standing in front of him crying, and he didn't know how to fix's this,

" Peyton, baby, please talk to me."

" I don't love you, Lucas, I'm sorry, I can't, I'm sorry." she was crying harder now, she walked away, leaving him standing there confused and broken.
