Look what happens!
Peyton leaves to be with Jake because she can't be with Lucas
Lucas stays with Brooke because Peyton's left and there's no one else
What happens when Lucas goes to LA to work on his book and runs into Peyton 4 years after she left?

She was the love of his life and he didn't want to admit it by the time he said the words out loud (to himself) it was too late and she was all ready gone. He was the love of her life- her one and only soul mate, her best friend's man, the boy she could never have so she left. She went to Savannah she went to Jake, she went to that little baby girl she loved so much she went to fill the void- to try and forget and it worked, it worked for a while and then he started emailing her, telling her about his life about his little sister who looks more and more like her father every day, about his nephew and niece James Lucas and Jessica Sawyer Scott Nathan and Haley's twins. The baby boy who looks just like his uncle and the baby girl named after her. Her life in Savannah wasn't so perfect after all.

Lucas loves his life, he's a high school basketball coach at his old high school, he has a beautiful little sister and a nephew and a niece who light up his world he has a fiancée he loves and his book is getting published. It doesn't help that he's not in love with his fiancée and that he had to edit chapters form his book that were about how much he loves the blond girl who ran away so many years ago,

Peyton loves her job she works at a small record label in savannah were she meets musicians who love the music not the money. She loves Jenny and Jake but there's always something missing. Peyton's sitting at her desk remembering the time when her life could have changed if only she let it. (Flash back) phone rings - "hey Peyton how've you been"

Peyton can't believe Lucas called; it's been so long 1463 days not that she keeps track or anything well any way "Peyton are you there, hello"

"yes I'm hear wow it's been so long"

"I know- I've missed u so much"

"tell me about it the emails aren't enough" "hahahaha" wow I've missed his laugh "so how's everything going" "Lucas Scott you do not call me out of the blue after how many years just to see how I am. What's going on?" "I asked Brooke to marry me"

Wow way to stab a girl in the heart nice one Lucas

"Oh wow um I guess congratulations- did she say yes, what am I saying of course she said yes"

"ah Peyton your rambling" "I know it's just" "wait let me finish- when I asked Brooke to marry me it sounded wrong the second it came out of my mouth but it was too late and I couldn't take it back but I knew that she's not the girl I want to spend my life with, she's best friends or was with that girl. It was too late and the words had already escaped my lips and I couldn't take it back- she said yes.
I didn't give her Keith's ring because that was supposed to be yours." "Luke why are you telling me all this" "I'm telling you all this because I need you to know I love you, I'm in love with you, I want you next to me for the rest of my life. That can't happen now though because you left to be with Jake and I proposed to Brooke." a sob escaped Payton's lips "I don't love Jake half as much as I love you" "then why did you leave me" "I didn't want to but I told Brooke I was in love with you and she ended our friendship and I didn't want you to hate me so I left"

"I could never hate you".

"So what happens now" "Peyton" " we bury it Lucas- you have Brooke she's planning your wedding and I can't abandon Jake". "So after all this we're just going to ignore everything?" "Yes- we will still email at least once a week but that's it; I can't hurt Brooke again". And that was the end of that conversation.
'Beep' a new email alert brings her out of her revere- it's from the bosses in LA apparently there bringing in new recording software so she gets to spend the first week of next month in LA being trained.

Lucas Scott just finished running drills in the gym when his nephew and niece run in to the gym; he catches them before they tackle him to the ground "what are you to knuckle heads doing" "mummy told us to come find you" says Jamie "yeah she wants us to stay with you tonight" "Jess I was going to ask him nicely" says Haley walking into the gym" "sure you were Hales you were just going to leave them and run" "HaHaHa no I wasn't and besides you love having the kids to yourself" "yeah, yeah, yeah... so you've got a big night planed 'bow chicka bow wo'" "maybe (laugh) Well let's just say I have some news for that husband of mine" "care to share Hales" "maybe tomorrow. Bye babies be good for Uncle Luke; thanks Luke I owe you" "have fun Hales."

"So what do you kids want for dinner?" "ice cream" screams Jess "Pizza" Screams Jamie even louder "ok guys let's get moving"

The next few days went by quickly for Lucas so it was rather exciting when he got his itinerary for his book tour- with a first stop LA at the beginning of next month. He was discreetly scanning his list of locations to see if savannah was on there but there was no luck it didn't really look like fate was on his side.

He jumped straight online to send an email to the girl he loves so much, he probably should call Brooke and share this with her first but she's not the one he wants so he forwards the itinerary to her and he awaits his reply.

Peyton is sitting at her desk sorting out paperwork when she notices she has a new message from L.E.S (Lucas Eugene Scott) only she can use his middle name and get away with it. She quickly drops what she was doing to read the email and to her surprise, and excitement she discovers they will be in LA at the same time- fate has finally stepped in and after a little over 4 years she will finally see the man of her dreams again. Now should she email him back and tell him she will see him there or should she say nothing and surprise him at the book store- surprising him sounds like a perfect idea but first she needs to congratulate him and make sure Brooke won't be tagging along.
