I am so surprised that I managed to finish this video, I mean look at the length!
But I was just really inspired for it, so here it is : )
I only spent a few weeks working on this, which is a lot faster than I expected!

Anyway, this video focuses on Peyton's story from beginning to end in the high-school seasons. I didn't continue the story after that, because I didn't like the show as much anymore after s4, and Peyton wasn't exctly the character I fell in love with in the high school seasons anymore (she was still my fave in 5&6, but at the same time she just changed too much IMO). So to all you high-school-Peyton lovers out there, I hope you like this ;)

I would just like to give a special thanks to my two loyal viewers Bee and Marthe, who gave me a lot of support while making this. Thanks for all the positive feedback, you girls are amazing! And also a big thanks to Maren for looking through almost all my videos with such big interest, it means a lot to me:D

**I worked hard on this, so I would really appreciate it if you just left a comment, it'll only take you like 5 seconds! And it means the world to me!**

Song info is at the end of the video.

Voiceovers:
"First of all, you don't know me. Second of all, you don't know me."
"I wanna draw something that means something to someone. You know, I wanna draw blind faith, or a fading summer, or just a moment of clarity."
"Your art matters! It's what got me here."
"That always makes this week the tough one."
"They're all tough.."
"My mom ran one red light. I run them all the time, and nothing happens."
"I want this. I wanna have everything with you."
"Why couldn't you just leave it alone?"
"You know how in dreams, you're always trying to get to some place you need to be, but you never really get there? I wish I could wake up."
"Life's short, Peyton."
"Too short to live it as a bad person."
"Uhm, actually I haven't been doing very well lately."
"I just, there's so much stuff piling up, and I don't think I can handle it anymore. I used to be stronger than this, you know, I should, and I don't wanna be a person that needs help, but.. I feel all alone."
"Jake."
"Giving your heart to somebody, that's the scary part."
"I mean, what is the point of all of this if I'm numb?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm your mother."
"Your mom is gone, Peyton. But your biological mother is alive."
"Just get out, Ellie. Out of my house, out of my town, and out of my life."
"I'm the angel of death."
"People always leave.. or Peyton always drives them away?"
"I just didn't think I'd be this afraid."
"Of what?"
"The truth, maybe?"
"I need you to talk to me about your cancer!"
"It's okay."
"No! No, it's not okay. How can you just act like nothing's wrong?"
"Don't be afraid, Peyton. Every song ends, but is that any reason not to enjoy the music?"
"If you keep this up, hiding in your art and your sadness, you're really gonna miss out. Because the truth is there is nothing to be afraid of. It's just life."
"Say hi to my mom.. mom."
"If I say I love you right now, will you hold it against me?"
"You're always saving me."
"I think I still have feelings for Lucas."
"As far as I'm concerned, this friendship is over."
"I guess I'm your brother."
"Is it me? Am I the reason people always leave? Am I the reason all these things keep happening to me?"
"I love you. I'm in love with you."
"When all my dreams come true, the one I want next to me.. it's you."
"You're way too young not to believe it's gonna be okay."
"Any time I open up to someone, they walk out of my life, or they die, or they move away, or they get shipped off to Iraq, or they turn into Norman friggin' Bates!"
"Brooke, this has been one of the worst years of my life! And I needed my best friend more than ever, and you cut me out because I was honest with you!"
"Lucas, I-"
"You saved me."
"You saved me too."
"Have I been in your head? You asked me to come into your life, Peyton."
"It's all your fault!"
"Then hopefully you have a friend who's gonna tell you that life kicks you around sometimes. It scares you and it beats you up, but there's a day when you realize you're not just a survivor. You're a warrior. You're tougher than anything it throws in your way."
