When Peyton was talking about the boy she loved to Ellie, her mom, who was she talking about?

Even though she loved Lucas in Seasons 1,4,5,and 6,she was only Друзья with him in Seasons 2 & 3.But when she was talking to Ellie(season 3),she was talking about Jake. <333333
Because at the time,she was TRULY,MADLY,DEEPLY in Любовь with him. <333333

Lucas

as much as i would like to say she was talking about lucas she wasn't. she was talking about jake...we have to remember at this point in time peyton is focused on jake, she isn't thinking about lucas until she goes to see jake and says "i Любовь Ты lucas" in her sleep and jake send her home...so there is no reason to think she was speaking about anyone but jake when she was talking to ellie

Jake Jagielski.

Most people would Любовь to think that Peyton was referring to Jake in this scene. Jeyton Влюбленные get hope from Peyton's words. Telling her mother something this deep proves that the guy in Вопрос really is in Peyton's heart. One would think that it was Jake because he was the Любовь in her life during the Назад season and because she "followed her heart" to Georgia when her father told her to during the penultimate episode of season 3.

In my opinion, though, Peyton was one hundred percent talking about Lucas. Recall this line from Peyton to Lucas guys:
"Lucas, I made a mistake. When Ты сказал(-а) Ты wanted to be with me, I got, I got scared, but...But the truth is, I want all the same things that Ты want, I do. And I want them with you."

I promise Ты that this NEVER changed...

Peyton loves a girl named Brooke Davis, and she "never meant for her Любовь for [Lucas] to get in the way of [her Любовь for Brooke]. For this reason, she attempted to bury her feelings for Lucas and fill that void "work and music".

But in that moment when Peyton was able to be perfectly honest, she admitted that she regretted letting him, Lucas, go. She loved him. And thats that.
