The Space Between Us

Him (2)

"I swear I think I saw Noah." Peyton says.

"I believe you, cause I swear I saw Joe." I say

"Yay!" She squeals.

Although Luke and I didn't last, that didn't mean Joe and Peyton didn't last. Actually they are still very much in love. It was hard for them though when Peyton moved to Marshall with me. They still talked and she said she's going to visit him. I am eventually going to go back, but I don't want to. If I go back that means that I have to see Emma and that's really hard, but then I get to see Bullet.

"What do you ever think happened to Luke?" Peyton ask.

"I can't tell you." I say.

A lot of people said after he left me and his home town he went to his brothers gang. Some say he became a doctor. Some say that he had an ex girlfriend that he got pregnant and he is taking care of a son. I'm not actually sure. I'm not going to judge him.

"Do you still hate him?"

"I don't think I ever hated him Peyton. I still miss him. I know something was wrong. I know something happened. I really miss him. I don't know what that money was for, I just have a feeling it wasn't for me. You know?"

"Well-"

"Can we please stop talking about him? Please." I whisper.

It hurts me every time. Every time someone says something about him. It hurts just to think about him. I mean for goodness sake I told him I loved him. He told me he loved me, and then he left me. He told me everything; in return he knew everything about me. Then all of a sudden he left. No explanation. I'm still heartbroken. I think though that the biggest pain is that I still love him. In fact I never even got over him.

A knock interrupts our thoughts. I open the door and Alex is standing there. My mouth hangs open like a fish.

"Alex what are you doing here?" I ask.

"Well I just got a letter saying that I got into Marshall." He says.

I invite him in and we talk.

"Well I hadn't gotten my letter, until like a week ago. So I packed my stuff. Also your dad bought you a house with six bedrooms." Alex explains.

"My dad did what?" I yell.

"He felt sorry for not getting you a graduation present. So your mom told him the situation. It's on Ferry Lane, about a mile from here." He says.

"Why do we need six bedrooms?" I ask.

"About that-"

Another knock interrupts us, I open the door and there stands Kade and Joe. Peyton runs into Joe's arms. She looks so happy. Why can't I have that?

"Hey roomie." Noah says.

I'm standing. I can't move. I can't do anything. I just stand there. The boys start packing our stuff. They get everything that we got out and started packing the cloths. Alex gets the boxes Peyton and I haven't unloaded and starts taking them out of our room. Peyton leaves with Joe and goes to the office to explain we don't need our door rooms anymore. While they do that I stand. I just watch everything happening. Finally our mattresses are the only things left. Alex and Noah grab one. While Joe and Peyton take the other. I watch as they take them out. I can't believe this. I'm standing there when Peyton comes up behind me.

"Are you ready?" She ask.

I jump in surprise. I can't believe this is happening. I can't believe that this is going on. I can't believe my dad bought my friends and I a house. Self Pity. Just because he buys me a house doesn't mean I'll forgive him. Peyton gives me a push and I start walking out of the room. I close the door and we head to my car.

New house here we come...
