Fade In: River court.
The darkness clouded in, taking the shadows with it. It seemed like the city came alive at night. All the demons come out, showing their true colors. Some ruining the world and some protecting it. Me? I was just one of those people that watch the destruction happen. I let my life pass me, never listen to the people that tell me to wake up. I guess I was going to wake up from my dream. I looked up at the sky, thinking about what my world could have been like. I took in a deep breath, knowing that I should change; I do nothing. I sit there, wishing something would change but never want to change it myself. I study the sky, looking up at the stars. Remembering what my mother used to tell me. She used to tell that for everyone who dies, there was star in the sky. Suddenly, the bolt of light ran across the sky. It was absolutely beautiful, it took my breath away. It was comet. That moment, I knew that my life was worth living and my life would have a meaning.
"Oh shoot, did I miss it?" Her high pitched voice yelled with frustration. I away from the sky, I had this hope that something would change for me. There will be a person coming back in my life, that's going to be my chance. Brooke held her red blanket close to her body, she had a basket in her right hand, wine in the other. It seemed like she was going to fall over but she rushed over to my side. She placed the items on the bench. I smiled as she struggled. I remember telling her that I just wanted to talk to her, she was really the only person that I can talk to. She would judge me, tell me when I was doing something stupid. She would listen, tell me her opinion or even a fact. She was just easy to talk to. Brooke Davis seemed to be my life saver. At my lowest points, she always seemed to bring me back to life. That was beauty. Brooke looked up at the sky with disappointment. She had been talking about seeing the comet for weeks, this was going to be her first time seeing one.
"Great, now it's not coming back for another thousand years." She said, she looked at me and frowned. I smiled, she was so frustrated and still she looked beautiful. I noticed that she had a small cover in her hand and a brown basket full of food. I helped her place the red cover on the ground and the basket in the middle of us. She opened the basket and I saw the grapes, cheese and crackers, sausage and other foods that I could barely see. I pulled out my phone from my back pocket, knowing that she would want to see the comet. Luckily, I recorded the whole thing. I gave her my phone and watched as her eyes lighted up. A smile formed across her face, the life was back in her eyes. Suddenly she gave me this look, this beautiful look. Her eyebrows narrowed into sorrow, her face looked happy but was thankful
"Oh, Luke…It's beautiful." She looked back down at the phone. I shrugged my shoulders; I knew that she was going to be late. She had this huge company to take care of.
"I knew you were going to be late." I told her, she looked up at me. She gave me back my phone and started to explain herself. She didn't need to. I understood.
"I have a huge company, I made from scratch. I was crowded with people asking about what's next." Brooke rubbed her forehead, she seemed so tired. I thought it was a good idea to bring her out here. I wanted her to know that she wasn't alone. She was a huge fashion designer and I was a best-selling author and coach for the ravens. We were busy people; this was the only moment that we could actually talk to each other. Since everyone graduated, people started to spread apart. Haley and I are still friends. Brooke stayed a while, since then we become best friends. I was getting a chance to see the side of Brooke that I didn't see before. I watched her grow into a better person and that was beauty.
"So, what is next for Brooke Davis?" I asked, tossing a green grape into my mouth. Loving the burst of juices rush as I bite.
"I don't know. The company is doing so well. I guess I have to make a fall line before fall approaches." Brooke was so confused on what to do. I stared at her for a moment, she never told me the story of how she started the company.
"When did you start the company?" I asked her, Brooke laughed. It was going to be an amazing, crazy story; I could tell by the look on her face.
"It was when you left with Peyton to see her mom or something and I felt like I was losing you. I felt like I jeopardized our relationship when I-"
"When you slept with Chris Keller." I chuckled at the thought. Chris was the worst person you could possibly be around.
"Hey, you kissed Peyton…twice." Brooke widened her eyes. I cheated on her twice and I felt worse after that. Soon, Peyton and I continued our relationship in senior year. I thought she was the one for me but she left me for someone else. "Anyway, Haley told me to focus on fashion instead of boys; which gave me the idea of the name 'clothes over bros'." Brooke bit her lips, pulling her hair behind her ears. "I used Peyton's love triangle artwork as inspiration." Brooke rolled her eyes, remembering how Peyton broke my heart. "Mouth helped me launch the website for my clothes. Needless to say, there were more people ordering then I thought it would be….so it was this huge mess." Brooke laughed at the memory. I chuckled from her happiness and stared at her. Looking at every inch of her face that I already memorized. "After that Haley and I talked more because I missed you so much and I realized that you were the one for me." Brooke blushed because of the way that I looked at her. I broke her heart so many times, that it crushed me. The thought of doing that to someone that I hold close to my heart, rips me to shreds.
"I'm sorry." I tell her, Brooke smiled nervously. She nodded.
"I know." She told me, I didn't know how else to say. This time it was different, I couldn't tell her how I felt. It would ruin things again, I was scared to make her love me again and me love her. I pushed the thought out of my head, trying to think about something else.
