Chapter 8

Peyton and Sawyer walked down the sidewalk leaving the dry cleaner s.

"I'm so glad they got the dress for your prom cleaned already," Peyton said.

"Me too," Sawyer said.

"Now when you go to the prom next week I want you to remember that this was my mom's dress," Peyton said. "Once it got a wine stain in it and I cried for days. I finally got it out years later through a Youtube tutorial video. If any type of stain gets on this dress, you're grounded."

Peyton's phone began to ring. Peyton took a look at it.

"Oh no," Peyton said. "It's an unknown caller. I bet it's that creep."

"Just ignore it Mom," Sawyer said.

"No," Peyton said. "You know what! I am going to stand up to this jerk!"

Peyton answered the phone.

"Look you creep!" Peyton shouted. "You think spray painting my car and sending me creepy messages is going to scare me, then you are an idiot! You're not going to get to me!"

"Is that so Peyton Sawyer?" the man on the other end of the phone asked creepily. "Because sometimes you'll find people can come crashing in!"

At that moment, a sound of a car engine was heard. Peyton and Sawyer looked to see a car on the sidewalk speeding towards them. Peyton and Sawyer quickly ran into the alley between the buildings they were standing by. The car sped past the alley and back onto the road, quickly disappearing. Peyton and Sawyer embraced tightly and breathed heavily.

"Are you okay sweetie?" Peyton asked.

"Yes Mom," Sawyer said.

Meanwhile and Peyton and Lucas's house, Lucas and Jamie were sitting on the couch.

"I'm so glad you made it here safely," Lucas said.

"Me too," Jamie said. "As soon as Sophia finishes feeding Amber, is it okay if I take some pictures of you holding her?"

"Don't you think Sophia's a little too old to be held?" Lucas joked. "Oh, you mean Amber."

Lucas's phone began to ring.

"Hey Peyton," Lucas said when he answered. "What?! Okay, I'll be right there."

Lucas hung up the phone.

"Someone just tried to run down Peyton and Sawyer!" Lucas shouted.
