Our Time
Chapter 2
Lucas had Keith's engagement ring hidden away. Yet he hadn't given it to Peyton. He didn't exactly know why. He just knew for some reason he had wanted to hold on to it.
He had a new editor now and they worked well. Together. His writing team had remained the same.
If he was honest he didn't really want to do a movie at all. Having to relive various moments of his life over and over again. Along with it being a visual reminder to everyone in town. Was the last thing Lucas wanted.
Which is why he met up with Julian to shut down the entire thing.
Julian was disapponted but agreed that it was what had to happen because it was clear. Lucas's heart wasn't in it.
...
When Lucas drove back home and saw Peyton he smiled up at her.
"The pregnancy test was negative. And i still have feelings for Julian." Peyton confessed.
Lucas stared at her wide eyed. "Why accept my proposal. Move in?" He asked.
"I couldn't break you're heart again. Finding out that Julian never got over me."
"I need to give you back this ring. i'm moving out." Peyton announced.
Lucas felt his heart break. "So i was you're rebound." He replied.
"The right woman in out for you Luke."
"Maybe she's closer then you realize." Peyton said. Removing the ring.
He refused it back. So she threw it away. Quickly packed a suitcase. Promised to get her remaining items another time before leaving.
Lucas couldn't stand to watch her go and he didn't.
Ending up alone and heartbroken at 23 had made Lucas realize maybe a happy ending wasn't for him.
Days Later
"I'm done with love and relationships." Lucas announced. As he downed another shot glass at Tric.
Peyton had gotten all her belongings out and last he heard. She lived with Julian now.
He ended up falling asleep on the bar drunk.
The bar tender. Got out Lucas's cellphone from his pocket.
And called the first number he saw. In the contacts for emergency.
