After Everything
Chapter 13
It took me almost getting married to someone else. In order to end up.
With the woman I'm meant for. Brooke is the one for me.
My soulmate. Now that I have this chance with her.
I'm going to do all I can to show her she made the right decision.
Letting me back into her heart.
I left Clothes over bros. And made my way to the cemetery.
I carefully placed down flowers. Put down a stuffed animal.
I carefully touched his name with my hand.
(Sawyer I love you son. I really wish things would of ended differently.)
(I wanted to be you're dad so much.) Lucas proclaimed.
Lucas felt a hand go on his shoulder. Which made him turn around.
(Peyton.) Lucas said softly.
(I came back to town. Because of you.)
(I left because of me. Losing Sawyer was so hard.) Peyton said.
The emotion in her voice thick.
(I'm well aware how devastating and earth shattering it was.)
(You left. You abandoned me!) Lucas proclaimed.
(I couldn't take it! Every time I thought of him! I saw you! )
(You think leaving town especially after that was easy or simple Lucas!) Peyton exclaimed.
(I needed you! Our son was gone! We were his parents!) Lucas exclaimed.
(I hate that I put you through anymore pain! I'm sorry Luke. Please understand and believe me!) Peyton insisted. Tears falling from her eyes.
Lucas felt his chest grow heavy and ache. Yes he was hurt and angry. But gained nothing from seeing her break down like this.
Lucas engulfed her in his arms. Peyton hugged him tightly.
Slowly pulling herself together.
(I wanted us to be a family. I had so many dreams tied up in you.)
(I was so lost after Sawyer.) Peyton confessed.
( I was too. I'm scared to possibly become a father again. I want it but I can't go through this pain again.) Lucas confessed.
(I know you are. And we won't go through that again Luke. We're meant to be parents.) Peyton insisted.
(I was so in love with.) Lucas proclaimed
Lucas wiped his eyes. Swallowing hard.
