Belong Together?

this is my first attempt at writing a OTH fanfic. It's going to be a 3 parter, the first chapter is Brooke, the second chapter is Lucas, and the third chapter is going to be both of them. I haven't written a fanfic in quite some time so I hope you all like it. Reviews would be great! I don't own anything; the song is by Craig David. Takes place after the season finale.

Part One: Walking Away

I'm walking away, from the troubles in my life
I'm walking away oh, to find a better day

Brooke left the wedding in a hurry, she needed to get out. She had to escape Lucas and the constant questions forming in the back of her mind, and she needed to get away from Peyton.

Peyton, her 'supposed' best friend. Brooke had news for her; best friends didn't go around loving each other's boyfriends. She knew that Peyton wouldn't go after Lucas intentionally, but the thing that she couldn't wrap her head around was the fact that Peyton loved him. After the whole Pete, and Jake thing Peyton wanted Lucas. She had had two great guys, yet she wanted the one guy who had stolen Brooke's heart.

She made it home in one piece, and packed a bag. She had no idea where she would go, or who she would see, but she knew one thing she had to get out of Tree Hill, at least for a little while. She had to figure out if this was it for her. She needed to think about everything, and sort things out. She needed her space.

Though it hurt her to leave Lucas, she knew it was for the best. If he couldn't let her into his heart, then what was the point of staying behind and setting herself up against Peyton? Brooke wasn't stupid, if she stayed in Tree Hill and pretended everything was okay, nothing would be solved. Peyton would still love Lucas, and Lucas would still not let her fully into his heart.

The only option that lay available forher was to leave. She couldn't stay in a place where the man she loved didn't fully love her back.She had believed that only good times lay ahead for herself and Lucas, she had no idea how wrong she had been.

Throwing her bag in the backseat, Brooke drove off letting the tears fall, not looking back.
