AN: Hi! New drabble here, I hope you all like it. It's sort of set in season 4, though it might not completely coincide with the storylines in the season, but well, gotta love creative license, right?
Lots of thanks to those of you who reviewed: OTHGirl24, A-dono, Cherry and Lexie-Rae! It was great to see that the drabbles are still appreciated!
70. The Feeling You Get After a Good Cry
"Feeling better?" He asked softly, a hesitant smile around his lips.
Peyton looked up at him, wiping away the last of her tears, "Actually, yeah." She laughed lightly. "I'm sorry, I'm being such a girl."
"Hey, it's okay, you can cry on my shoulder whenever you want." He offered brightly, nudging her shoulder a little and then pulling her closer to kiss her temple.
"I just miss my dad, you know? It's been really long since he's been home now and I like to act like it's all okay, but I don't know... I guess it's just not always okay."
Lucas nodded, "I know. But he's coming home soon, right?"
"He is." Peyton said and sighed a little, but at the same time she had to smile too because crying actually had made her feel better. Her dad was coming home soon and she had Lucas by her side and things weren't all that bad actually. "Thank you, Luke."
"What for?" He asked with a smile, but she only gave him a look that let him know he should know what for. He did. "You're welcome. That's why you have me."
