So I am back with another story. I know I really shouldn't be posting something more when I still have two current stories going. But this is shorter than those two and it has been sitting on my desk for like a year just waiting to be read. So I really wanted to post this to see what other fanfic writers or fans thought. Plus, this is sort of my way to hopefully keep my readers interested while you wait for my next updates on Can't Ever Forget and There's No Life Without You. So I hope that you all can enjoy this while you wait…especially this one is a total brucas!

So about this one…

*Basically, everything from the actual show still happened EXCEPT…Peyton and Lucas were never anything more than friends; there was never a library kiss

*However, Brooke and Lucas did still break up following the Naley vow renewal for pretty much the same reasons: Brooke stopped missing Lucas due to the fact that they went days without having a real conversation, and Lucas loved Brooke but forgot how to show it

*Brooke and Lucas did manage to build a stronger friendship after their breakup. A friendship that lasted well beyond graduation and into college

*After graduation, Brooke went off to L.A. with Peyton, and then to New York, while Lucas remained close to his family and to Tree Hill.

I don't want to give away too much about the plot of this story yet because I really don't want to ruin anything. I want you all to enjoy this and be surprised. Kind of like we are supposed to be when we watch the actual show, even though spoilers sometimes ruin that. LOL. But I will tell you this…this shorter story is about these two characters finally figuring out where their hearts have belonged all along.

This story is going to be short, but not too short. Let's just say it will probably be shorter than most of my other stories. There will be about five or six parts that I will update as time allows. Plus, you all have to review if you want to see what happens next (and you will definitely want to review because some of these parts, I warn you now, are cliff hangers). Keep that in mind. LOL

Also, I kind of wrote this story to try and restore my faith in brucas. Because this season…it really has sort of been shot, given that they haven't really given Brooke and Lucas any real good screen time together this season. At least last season there was some friendship going on there. But not this season. Hopefully, that will change. We'll see. But I really needed to remind myself why I love brucas so much in the first place, so that is what I have tried to do with this. I hope it helps you other brucas fanatics like me out there. I'll have the first part up soon. In the meantime, please let me know what you think of this idea.
