AN: Hey, here I am again with a new drabble (: This one was meant to be set between s4 and 5, but when I re-read it a couple of days after I had originally written it I realized it doesn't fit the timeline at all. The way things went on the show means that this drabble couldn't have happened, but I kinda like it so I decided to post it anyway and just call in the help of creative license again ;) I hope you like it as well!
Also, thanks again to KTxx, Tarantallegra27, OTHGirl24 and LPlover for reviewing! To Monse; thank you as well! I'm happy you liked the tiny, adorable chapter! I hope you'll enjoy reading this one as well (: thanks again!
18. Being the First to Applaud in the Audience
"..., but simple clarity. The realization that we had always been meant for each other and every instinct to the contrary had simply been a denial of the following truth - I was now and would always be in love with Peyton Sawyer."
Lucas finished his reading and closed the book, letting out the smallest of sighs. He didn't really like this. Well, he loved his book tour, he really did, and he loved signing books and talking to people who had read it.
He just didn't really like reading the words he had written aloud. Why did he always have to give one anyway? Would it really make that much of a difference if he does or not?
Hearing someone applaud, he looked up and was almost immediately met with Peyton's bright smile, applauding proudly for the boy she loved. Soon, the other people were applauding as well, but none of it mattered anymore.
It had been way too long since he had last seen her and he couldn't wait to get to her and kiss that beautiful smile of hers.
