31. Tight, Meaningful Hugs
"Maybe I shouldn't go." Peyton said into the crook of his neck as he held her close. He let out a few chuckles, knowing that as much as she hated to leave him right now, she would love being in LA with Brooke.
"You should." He said, nodding his head at her as she looked up at him. "It's going to be great, you are going to be great. We both know you're destined for greatness, Peyton."
"Stop saying that all the time." She mumbled and looked down again, but he only chuckled some more. "I'm going to miss you so much, Luke. And it's going to suck, and..."
Lifting her head with his finger, he locked eyes with her. "I know. I'm going to miss you too." He swallowed. "But you need to do this. And I'm proud of you for doing it."
Peyton nodded as a lonely tear made its way down her cheek. He quickly wiped it away before wrapping her up in a tight hug. After a long while of tightly holding each other, Peyton looked up at last and looked right into his eyes.
"I love you."
"I love you." Lucas answered, pulling her closer again to kiss her one last time. As he finally let go of her and she picked up her luggage, he winked, "I'll be seeing you."
She couldn't help but laugh lightly, even though she felt more like crying, before winking back and finally walking away, out of Lucas' sight.
