This is for Jake...

[Peyton Sawyer]

Peyton was standing off to the side of the girls, when she saw the man she left behind a few weeks ago, walking towards her.

Peyton felt her heart start to beat faster and she gulped in a deep breath and then turned to pretend to listen to Haley and Heathers convesation. She wanted Jake to actually walk up to her and talk to her, and not look like a fool if he didn't stop...

Will he talk to me? Will he want to hangout? Peyton thought as she smiled at each girl in effort to hide her nervousness...


Peyton then realized something as Jake drew closer, I still love him, oh God, what kind of mess did I put myself in a few weeks ago? Peyton felt like a fool anyway, considering she had asked Jake to marry her, and then she spoke of Lucas in her sleep. She felt like a piano had just fallen on her and made the wind knock out of her....

[Peyton Sawyer]

Peyton decided to bite the bullet, and take a chance. She started to walk towards Jake, and Jake started to walk towards her...They met up halfway, and Peyton smiled a shaky smile, she was not sure if Jake was mad at her or not.

"Well if it is not the famous Jake, what ever could Jake be doing back in Tree Hill?" Peyton was teasing when she said this, but she really wanted a serious answer from Jake....Peyton leaned forward the same time as Jake did, and the two hugged each other, longer than most people do....It was Peyton who pulled away and looked up to Jake, waiting for an answer...

[Jake Jagielski]

"Oh you know, I'm just here to see my parents, friends,... you." "It is so great to see you." "I've really missed you Peyton."

[Peyton Sawyer]

Peyton was taken aback a bit, "Me" she whispered...."Why would you want to after I left Savannah the way I did....I thought I was in love with someone else....and you still wanted to see me?" Jake nodded his head and smiled a sad smile at Peyton....Peyton continued.... "I have missed you too...both of you....I still have pictures of us, including the most recent ones..."

[Jake Jagielski]

"Peyton..." *chuckles* "I could never hate you just because you didn't want to be with me. I just want you to be happy." *smiles* "I'm glad I'm not the only one who missed the three of us. We were a great team, you, me, and Jenny."

[Peyton Sawyer]

Peyton didnt want to tell Jake that she still loved him, she felt it was too soon. So she nodded her head, and choked back a sob... "I am so happy you came back, are you back for good?" Peyton couldnt handle anymore times of people leaving her, when she needed them the most...."Do you have somewhere to stay? You can stay at my house if ya want..."Peyton remembered the last time they shared the house and she blushed slightly with Jake staring at her so intensely....How do you tell someone yo still love them, when they might not still love you?

[Jake Jagielski]

"Well, I'm not sure how long I will be back.... it all really depends on what happens while I'm here." Jake kicked himself for saying that. God, he sounded desperate. "I was kind of staying with my parents... but you know I would really love to stay with you for a while... I mean if you don't mind or anything. I can bring Jenny with me. She's gotten so big...."

[Peyton Sawyer]

Peyton clapped her hands together in excitement, kind of like how Brooke does, and she quickly recomposed herself.

"I would love to have the both of you stay with me...Dad is away until God knows when, and I would like to feel safe again..."Peyton bite her lip, she shouldnt of said that she didnt feel safe....How stupid can I be she thought to herself....She glanced at Jake and then up to the sky...and back to Jake...

"I would love to have the company, it can be like old times, us three, taking on the world..." Peyton wondered what the circumstances depended on, but she didn t ask, she felt that Jake would tell her in time....

[Jake Jagielski]

Jake grinned. He loved when Peyton got really excited. She was so cute. "Great, so I guess I can go pack up my stuff and get Jenny and head on over to your house. She'll be really excited to see you. She remembers you."

[Peyton Sawyer]

Do you need any help? I can help you move stuff over and in....We can go start on that like now... Peyton shut up, she was sounding way to eager, but she couldnt help it...

[Jake Jagielski]

Jake smiled. He hadn't smiled this much since the last time he saw Peyton. Life in Savannah had been really lonely. It was basically just him and Jenny. He hadn't dated much since Peyton. "I'd love the help."

[Peyton Sawyer]

Peyton smiled and linked her arm through Jakes, and the two started to walk in the direction of the cars, Peyton couldnt believe that Jake was moving in again with her...She smiled, and kept that smile on all the way to the cars...

How about we take mine, I have an open roof, so we can fit more...?

[Jake Jagielski]

"Sounds great." Jake replied with a huge smile on his face. He might just stay in Tree Hill after all.

[Peyton Sawyer]

Peyton smiled at Jake and two got into her car, and they started to pull away from the bonfire on the beach...She turned to Jake, Do you mind if we stop by the cafe for a bite to eat? Im kinda hungry, and I really didnt drink anything at the bonfire....She trailed off not wanting Jake to ask why she didnt eat or drink anything at the party. She glanced over at Jake and flashed him a quick smile.

[Jake Jagielski]

Jake smiled back at Peyton. She had the most amazing smile. "Karen's Cafe it is."
