Kate's point of view: I didn't know what to do. I could either try again with Peyton or put all of that behind me and be happy with Austin. In all honesty, I was happy with Austin, but I was also happy with Peyton. I looked towards the stage where Peyton was and he was talking with his brother Garrett. I decided to go up there and talk to him so I could figure out what the hell he was trying to do. I leave Austin and Julie's side and walk up to the stage and step onto it and I tap Peyton on the shoulder.
Peyton's point of view: I was talking to my brother Garrett about our next song when I felt someone tap on my shoulder. In my mind I thought it was Molli coming to tell me that she was going to tell Kate what happened at that party. I turned around and said,"Molli you're not going to-", but I stopped in mid sentence when I saw Kate and I cleared my throat and smiled a little bit and said,"Oh hey Kate. Did you like the song?" She looked at me for a minute like she was trying to figure me out and then she said,"Peyton what's going on with you. First we try long distance and then we break up and then we almost get back together but you end it before it even starts back up again and then you come to Mississippi and break my heart even more and then you leave and now you come back with this public apology and that Brantley Gilbert song. What gives?" I looked into her eyes and the hurt and confusion was evident. I took a deep breath to calm myself and I reached in my pocket and grabbed the note that she had written me at the beginning of our relationship and I handed it to her and I whispered,"I found this earlier today in my room. You hid it from me and when I found it and read it I realized that I am probably the biggest bastard in the world because I hurt the girl I love and yes Kate I still do love you. I never stopped. I had so many plans for us and our future. I knew where I wanted our relationship to go but after I moved everything got cloudy and so confusing. I didn't have you by my side. You were so far away from me and it just...slowly killed me. You don't have to believe me Kate. I know I wouldn't if I was you but", I lift up my shirt so she can see where her name was still carved into my abs and I grab her hand and place it on her name and put my head against hers and continue,"this is real. The pain I felt when I thought I lost you the first is real. It still hurts and it won't stop hurting. Baby you make the pain go away just by being near me. I miss your smile and your laugh and your eyes. I miss holding you when you get upset and I miss playing my guitar for you until you fall asleep. I know I probably won't change your mind but I want you to know that I've always loved you and I never stopped, not even for a second. My plans for us for the future starts with a question and a one word answer from you. I'll do anything to get you back Kate. You name it and I'll do it. If I lose you again I will go crazy." I kept looking at her with my head still pressed against hers and then her hand and her fingers moved over to trace where her name was and I could feel tears starting to well up in my eyes. I knew I had screwed up. I knew I had severely damaged my relationship and trust with her but I wanted her back. I'd give anything to have her back. She was my soulmate, my best friend, the love of my life. And I knew without a doubt that I wanted to marry her.
Ok y'all so I think I just broke my toe...yea my toe. I ran into the door facing at my house and then the next thing I know I was on the floor lol it hurts so bad haha but it getting sorta better lol at least I can walk on it now without almost passing out from the pain but this pain gives me a new idea for the story lol inspiration can come from anywhere. Even a broke toe lol
Kate's point of view: I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had longed for months for Peyton to tell me that he would do anything for me and now that he has it feels even better than I had imagined. I looked at Peyton and then I looked back where Austin was and I realized then that I had a choice to make but I didn't know who to choose. Do I choose Austin who has helped me try to get over Peyton? Or do I choose Peyton who I have been with for so long and I who I share most of my memories with and who I have loved for the longest time?
