Brooke lays on her bed thinking. It's 6:30 pm and she kept but wonder. What if she had been pregnant ? What if her and Lucas kept the baby ? What would their life had been like ? The she falls asleep. Suddenly a man appears in her room and wakes her up. Brooke looks at him with confusion.

" Who are you ?"

The young man smiles.

" I'm an angel Brooke. I've come to help you."

" Am I dreaming ?"

" No, sweetie, you're not."

" Ok, why are you here ?"

" To show you what could have been. God has a reason for everything and I'm gonna show you why. Take my hand Brooke."

Getting up, she slowly takes his hand. Suddenly they appear in an apartment. Brooke looks around.

" Where am I ?"

" In you and Lucas Scott's apartment."

" What ! How did this happen ?"

" Give it time, you'll see Brooke. I can't tell anything else. I'll keep in touch."

Before she can question him further, he disappears. Suddenly the door opens and Lucas walks in. Brooke his shocked at his appearance. He looks very tired, and has a rough shave on his face. His hair a different color, jet black. He looks at her.

" Oh, hi Brooke. Work really sucked. The restaurant was crazy tonight."

He worked as a waiter ? At what restaurant ? Looking at his shirt, she sees a Pizza Hut tag. Oh lord, he worked at Pizza Hut !

" Um... couldn't your mom hire you ?"

Lucas gives her a look of disbelief.

" Brooke...mom kicked me out of her life remember ?"

Suddenly Brooke felt sick. Karen had turned her back on Lucas. Not something she was expecting. She quickly gathers her calm stance back.

" Oh yeah. Sorry guess I forgot."

Shaking his head, Lucas walks to the bathroom.

" I haven't. I can't."

When the door closes, Brooke feels a tear fall from her eyes. Then she hears it. A baby crying in their bedroom. Quickly she goes to see their baby. Not knowing what to do, she picks it up. Then realizes it needs a diaper change. She finds out it's a girl, and changes the diaper. Looking around the room, she notices a name sign. It says Heather. So their daughter's name is Heather. How nice she thought.

Lucas walks in the room.

" How's our little girl ?"

Despite the confusion, Brooke answers.

" Ok. I just changed her diaper."

" Wow how suprising. I normally have to since your usually cheerleading."

At this Brooke was speechless. So she got to still have a social life but Lucas didn't. As Lucas reached for Heather, Brooke noticed a wedding band. Oh shit ! They are married. Brooke swallowed hard. She had wanted to marry him, but not like this. He had basically been forced to marry her. Oh God.

" Lucas, do you love me ?"

He looks up at her in shock.

" You kidding right ? You know I do Brooke."

" I just wanted to make sure."

" Brooke I've told you many times. I wouldn't be here if I didn't."

Brooke nods not knowing what to say. In reality, he had chosen Peyton. This was just plain wierd.

As the night went on, Lucas gets a beer from the fridge. Another shock.

" How come you like beer ?"

Taking a drink, he mumbles.

" It's how I deal with stress Brooke. Want one ?"

" No, but thanks."

She takes a seat beside him on their couch. He looks at her.

" You've acted strange since I got home Brooke. What's going on ?"

" Um...nothing. Just having an off day is all."

To tired to question any further, Lucas nods and falls asleep. Sighing, Brooke goes to their bedroom. The angel appears.

" Hi Brooke. How's it going ?"

Angered, she responds in a low voice.

" How do you think ? Everything I've found out is etheir wierd, upsetting, or shocking. You could have warned me."

" I couldn't. I'm not allowed."

" When can I go back ?"

" When you understand completely."

" I do. I get it. I ruined our lives."

" No, you don't get it Brooke. There so much more to this."

" I don't like this at all. Nothing is the way it should be."

" You are right about that. I have to go now."

The angel disappears and Brooke starts crying. This is way to hard. Nothing made sense.
