I know I have another fanfic going right now, Is True Love Always? But this idea came to me in a sudden burst of inspiration.

Title: I'll Be Seeing You

Background Info: Everything that took place suring the fifth season happened. Lindsey left, Lucas told Peyton he hated her, and has already apologized to her. This is a letter Peyton leaves for Lucas on front door after she decides that she needs to get out of Tree Hill for a little while. This is just a oneshot but if people like it I may continue with it. So tell me what you think.

Lucas walked up to his front door and saw an envelope with his name written on it in familiar hand writing. He knew it was Peyton who wrote this letter, so he was completely scared to read it, but he opened it anyway and read it, his heart breaking with each and every word.

Lucas,

I'm sorry. I can't seem to say that enough to you lately. I came home because I stupidly thought that when you said you would always love me you meant it. When I told you I was going to love you forever I meant it with all my heart, and I could never imagine my life with anyone but you. Like I said, I thought you felt the same way, but clearly not seeing as you were with Lindsey.

"People Always Leave" That rang true for just about every person who has been in my life. But, if someone would have asked me three years ago if your name was going to be added to that list I would have laughed in their face. And look at that, wrong again. You walked out on me, not because I cheated, or because I broke up with you, but because I wasn't ready for marriage. You know, when my mom, Ellie, Derek, and even Jake left, I understood because they had to. Both of my moms died, Derek had to go fight for our country, and Jake left to protect his daughter. But you, you left because I hurt your ego, I did the one thing most girls weren't able to do, I turned you down, if you could call it that. I said someday not no, not yes, but someday. Why couldn't I just have a year to get my life together? Why couldn't we wait? How could you even leave me without saying goodbye? When I woke up, I was so afraid, afraid that something had happened to you. And then I looked over, and saw the mixed CD I gave you earlier that day, and I knew. I realized that you were just like the old Nathan, only you were worse because I actually let you into my heart. Look where that got me.

And then when I came home, you had the nerve to say that I didn't think you could get your novel published because I never cared. How could you say that? I've never cared about anyone or anything as much as I care about you. I always believed in you, I knew that you were going to get everything you ever wanted, whether you think I cared or not. But even then, I still stood by you and out love. I prayed every night that one day you would realize we belonged together, the same way you did in high school. That never happened, instead you broke my heart by kissing me and then turning around and proposing to Lindsey.

When you kissed me, my entire universe snapped back into focus. I had been walking around for three years like a zombie, because you weren't there. Then, when you kissed me I felt complete again, I finally felt like my life actually meant something. The proposal hurt, it did, but it hurt so much more because you used my ring. The same ring that you proposed to me with three years ago, you kept it all this time, it had to mean something didn't it? Were you holding on to it because you, like me, thought that one day we would be together again? Or were you holding on to it because you knew one day you would find someone else?

I have a question, how could you invite me to your wedding? You made me sit in the second pew to a wedding that I always thought was going to be mine. Maybe you were just trying to be polite. But want to know what I think now? I think you wanted to see me cleary, I think you wanted to hurt me, something I would never have expected from you of all people. You made me sit there, and watch you say "I do." to Lindsey, but I said nothing. I wanted to, so bad, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

You know, I never knew that three words could break someone's heart, but the other night I had to find that out the hard way. "I hate you." That's what you said to me, those three malicious words shattered my entire world. I could never tell you that I hated you, no matter what you did to me. And now, even after everything we've been through both before and after I got home, I still can't say it. And believe me Luke, I wish I could. I wish I could just look you in the eye and tell you that you've ruined my life, but I can't, becuase you haven't. You changed my life forever, in the best and worst way possible. You made my last year of high school and a year after that the most amazing time I could ever imagaine. But then, when you left me in that hotel room, you ended it all, without even a goodbye. It hurt Luke, it hurt so bad, hell it still does.

I never thought it would come to this. I never thought that I wouldn't be able to stay in Tree HIll because being around you was just too hard for me. I wish it wasn't like this, but it is. The night you proposed, I told you that Tree Hill is two dead moms and a whole lot of bad memories, I still believe that, but now I have one more thing to add to the list. Tree Hill is the place where I got my heart broken by a boy who had filled my heart with empty promises. Now I don't think that you ever loved me, I don't think you ever meant any of the things you said. I wish you never wrote your first book, because all it did was give me false hopes for a future that would never come. And who knows, maybe your new book is about me, but like you said it's a work of fiction, just like our love.

I'm leaving Tree Hill, and going back to L.A. I'm sure that if I ever come back you'll either be living in New York with Lindsey or here with her. I'm sure you'll have children, and you'll finally have the life you've always been dreaming of. And I'll still be alone. I know this because no matter who I meet, I'm always gonna be in love with the boy who fixed my car at the river bend that day. Even if he doesn't exist anymore, he'll always be my true love. I wish I could say I'll be seeing you, but I don't know if I will, so I'll just say goodbye.

True Love Always,

Peyton

He couldn't believe it, Peyton was gone. He had no clue what he was going to do without her, he had finally realized that she was the one, but apparently he was too late. He wanted her, he needed her, he needed them. But she was gone, and he didn't know if she'd ever be back.

So there it is. I could keep this as a one shot, or I could keep it going. I'll call it complete for now. But if you like it, and you want me to continue with it, then review it and let me know.

Lucas and Peyton, True Love Always.
