Peyton grabbed her keys from off the counter and ran out to the car. She had been thinking about Lucas all day and she had been denying what she felt.

I cannot help it I couldn't stop it if I tried

She did everything she could to just forget about him but she couldn't pull it off. Everything she looked at reminded her of Lucas and it was driving her crazy. Just being in her arms made her fell like a different person.

The same old heartbeat fills the emptiness I have inside

Seeing him made her heart skip and when she was around him she could feel the butterflies dancing in her stomach.

And I've heard that you can't fight love, so I won't complain

"Peyton if you love him go for it. Don't sit around and wait until it's too late and besides you can't deny how you really feel." She remembered talking to Haley and those were the words that finalized her decision.

'Cause why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on?

Lucas gave her something to look forward to everyday; he was her reason to get up in the morning. She pulled into the parking lot at the park and looked over at the basketball courts. She sat for a while and just looked at him play. Even the way he moved made her body tingle.

'Cause when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love with you

"Lucas…" she called out to him as she approached the courts.She wasn't sure why she was going up to him but she couldn't stop herself, she had to tell him how she felt.

Turn out the lights now

"Hey Peyton. What's up?" He caught the ball as it fell through the basket. He turned to look at her, trying to suppress his feeling. She had turned him down and that was all there was to it.

To see is to believe

But as he watched he walk over to him he couldn't help but think of the possibilities. He watched her smile grow as she approached him and he hoped for more with her, he didn't want to just be friends.

I just want you near me

He had meant everything he said to her the night before. He wanted everything with her. He wanted to be in her heart and he wanted to be able to love her.

I just want you here with me

Peyton could feel herself moving faster towards him. Her feet had taken over and before she knew it she was holding him tightly in her arms and he gladly returned the hug. She could feel her heart pounding as she pulled back, giving herself just enough room to move in and kiss him.

And I'd give up everything only for you

Lucas broke the kiss and looked down at her, pleased but surprised. He watched as Peyton placed her small hand over his heart. "I want it too Lucas. I want it all and I want it with you" She said quietly. He looked down at her and then kissed her more passionately than before.

It's the least that I could do

"I want it too." He said as he pulled back. He wrapped his arms around her as the two blondes gazed into each others eyes.

'Cause when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love with you

Peyton pulled Lucas into a tight hug, scared to let him slip away. He buried his face into her soft curls, intoxicated by the sweet smell.

And I feel you holding me

Lucas took her small hand in his and smiled down at her before leading her towards the lake.

Why are we afraid to be in love?
To be loved

Peyton still felt nervous about opening up to Lucas, but when she weighed all her emotions it felt better to be with him than without.She didn't know how being with him could make her so happy but so scared at the same time.

I can't explain it
I know it's tough to be loved

Lucas didn't now why he loved her. He couldn't figure out how he could still be in love with someone that pushed him away. He also didn't know what made her change her mind, but he didn't care. All that mattered was that they were together.

And I feel you holding me

Lucas grabbed Peyton's slender waist and hoisted her into the air. She grabbed his arms as he spun her around. When he let her down she jumped back onto him, wrapping her long legs around him. He tried to steady himself but they fell back into grass.

And when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone

"Lucas Scott I think I'm in love with you" she whispered into his ear as she laid on top of him. He leaned up and kissed her.

"Peyton Sawyer I know I'm in love with you" he replied when they broke apart. The two just sat where they were, feeling as though that had found the missing pieces to a puzzle. They were finally complete.
