If Only She Knew
Peyton's POV
I was standing in my white wedding dress. 'Why do brides still wear white?' I thought. I looked over at Brooke, my bridesmaid; a smile crept over my face. Haley, my other bridesmaid, was sorting out the rest of the wedding party. I was getting married today and was going to become Lucas Scott's wife.
"Peyton Scott." The name rolled off my tongue. "Peyton Elizabeth Scott" I said with more emphasis while looking in the mirror. I didn't want to admit the truth of why I needed to say it with more conviction.
"You know you'll no longer be my P Sawyer, you'll be P Scott. Though you're still P.S. Maybe I'll give you a whole new nickname." Brooke walked over to me and touched my hair, like she was fixing something; though nothing needed fixing. She placed her head on my left shoulder, while her hands rested on my arms giving them a slight squeeze. I felt butterflies inside caused by Brooke's touch. I smiled nervously at Brooke, through the mirror.
"Peyton, it's time." Haley said while walking into the room. We both looked over in her direction. This broke Brooke away from me and I was disappointed, but didn't let it show. Brooke picked up my bouquet, gave it to me and kissed me on the cheek.
She held her hand out to me and I gladly took it. That feeling came over me again and I was glad to have it back. She looked at me and I'm sure she realised it too. We walked out the room until we saw my dad. Brooke placed my hand in his and whispered, "I love you P Sawyer" in my ear. Before she had a chance to walk away I whispered "I love you too B Davis". We hugged and I really didn't want to let go but I had to.
Brooke and Haley walked down the aisle with the rest of the wedding party. The wedding march started to play 'this was way too traditional' I said to myself. Dad and I walked down the aisle. Lucas smiled at me when I reached the altar. I smiled back but it was forced. My dad kissed me on the cheek and stepped back.
The priest started speaking. "Family and friends, I welcome you to this day of celebration. Lucas and Peyton have invited us here to this place to share in their declaration of lifelong commitment to each other. Your blessings, support, and encouragement are important to this union, not only now, but also in the days and years to come.
Amidst the turmoil of our world, with all of life's struggles and concerns, it is with deep joy and a sense of wonder and awe that we pause to affirm the power of love. As we gather to witness the union of Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer we also celebrate the blessings we all cherish in our intimate relationships. This ceremony calls us all to renew our vows of love and commitment to one another."
I looked over at Lucas and he had this big smile on his face like he was content and his dreams were coming true. I have to admit that I didn't share that felling. I wasn't really paying attention to the priest until it came to one certain part.
"Lucas and Peyton you have signified your desire to enter into the holy state of marriage, and no one has shown just cause why you may not. If either of you know of any lawful impediment why you may not be married, I charge you now, before God, the Searcher of all hearts, to declare it..."
I looked over at Brooke and I saw something in her eyes. I'm not sure what it was but I knew in that moment that I couldn't go through with this wedding.
"Lucas, I'm so sorry but I can't marry you." I looked down at the ground before raising my head. "I'm in love with someone else."
"Peyton" I heard my name but from three different people, Lucas, my dad and Brooke.
I dropped the bouquet and turned to run down the aisle. Bravery decided to kick in and I wanted to take a wild shot in the dark. I walked over to Brooke and kissed her. It wasn't a friendly kiss; I just went up and kissed her full on the lips. She was completely taken by surprised, as she didn't kiss back. I pulled away and spoke. "I meant it when I said I love you, I'm just in love with you too." With that I ran down the aisle and out of the church. I had no idea where I was going but I went where my legs took me.
I wasn't sure how long I was walking for but it seemed like ages. All of a sudden I felt a tap on my shoulder. To tell you the truth, I was scared at who it might be. Names were passing through my mind until I turned around and saw the face of the last person I expected.
"Peyton." I was face to face with Brooke. She had come after me. I was happy but confused to why, especially after what I said. "Why didn't you give a girl a chance to get over the suddenness of your little confession before you ran off?" She asked.
"There was nothing to wait for. You don't feel the same way and I was resigned to that fact, I guess that's why I went this far with Lucas. I just couldn't live a lie any longer." I could feel the tears filling up in my eyes. I was trying my best not to cry but it somehow got the best of me.
Her right thumb caught one of my tears and she wiped my cheek. I lowered my head while her hand was still resting on my face. "I also meant it when I said I love you, I'm in love with you too." My head shot up quickly by her words and a smile slowly crept upon my face. She moved closer to me and I could feel her breath on me. She kissed me and I felt like my legs were going to cave in. My hands started to roam on her back as our mouths moved in rhythm with each other.
She pulled away from me and brushed strands of hair away from my face. She took my hand and kissed it. "Come on P Sawyer, let's get you out of these clothes."
She smiled and flashed her dimples at me as we walked home. It was that moment that I knew I would spend the rest of my life with this girl.
A/N: There it is. I'm trying to write a Breyton chapter fic but these one shots keep coming to me. Who knows when it will happen but I'm not gonna stop trying.
