Chapter 1

Peyton leaned towards Lucas and kissed him on his lip passionately. As both of them kissed they started to take off each others clothes.
After a while, Peyton lay there on her bed facing towards Lucas and just kept on staring at him while grazing her hand along his arm, she thought to herself that this was the first time that her and Lucas had sex, and what was it that Lucas was lying there thinking. Lucas lay next Peyton and just thought about the event that just had occurred, as he lay there thinking he couldn't understand that why was it that when him and Peyton had sex that he felt like there was something missing, a kind of empty feeling. He thought to himself that he never felt like that when he was with Brooke, then why did it feel so wrong now when he was with Peyton, wasn't Peyton the one for him?
Peyton leaned forward and kissed Lucas, as she parted her lips away from his lip, she wanted to say something to him.
"I love you Lucas", said Peyton in a soft manner.
"I love you too Brooke", said Lucas.
What had just happened, why did he say Brooke's name and not Peyton's name, why was he carrying on thinking only about Brooke? Both Lucas and Peyton stared at each other in complete shock.

----------------------------

The next morning Lucas lay there on his own bed and stared at the plain empty ceiling reflecting about the events that had occurred last night. How he kept on questioning himself about why he had said Brooke name instead of Peyton, and why was it that whenever he was with Brooke that was when he felt alive, and that was something he never experienced with Peyton.
After thinking long and hard Lucas had found his answer with the help of his dream that Keith was in, and that answer was that it was Brooke that he really loves, she was his truelove and that he wanted to be with her forever and not Peyton. He Knew now that Peyton was in fact just a really good friend that he cared about her but didn't love her in the way he felt about Brooke. He also knew then that when Brooke had asked him that who does he see himself with when all his dreams come true, that he went to Peyton cause that was what he though she wanted, but how stupid was he to leave her there and go to Peyton who was just a really good friend and nothing more.

------------------------------

Over at Rachel's House Brooke sat on her side of the bed and stared across the room to Rachel's bed and started to think that how was she going to bring Rachel back, especially after all she had done for her, she had found a really good friend in her and just wanted to help her as she was also to be blamed equally for the events that had occurred in there lives recently.
After a while Brooke reached out her hands and picked up one of her school books that was lying on her side drawer, she thought to herself that now she had to start to study if she wanted to graduate with her friends. As she opened her book she came across a picture of her and Lucas together, after seeing that picture of them both together is just reminded her how much she missed Lucas, how much she loved him and wanted him in her life. She sat there on her bed and thought to herself how hard it was still to see Peyton and Lucas together, even thought she knew that she still loved Lucas she also knew that Peyton loved him and she also cared and loved Peyton. She knew that one of the main reason she broke up with Lucas was for Peyton so that Peyton could be happy and she would start to believe in life again especially after all the things she had gone through with her mum's death, with drugs and with Jake. Brooke wanted to change Peyton's thinking of how everyone she cares and loves just leave her behind, and she thought to herself that this was also the only thing she could do for her best friend that would make her happy.
As Brooke sat there on her bed thinking about her, Lucas and Peyton, her cell phone rang. She slowly reached forward and picked her phone in her hand and looked at who was ringing her?
"Lucas", Brooke said quietly and in soft tone to herself.
She didn't feel she could talk to Lucas at that moment as she knew he probably wanted to ask her something about Peyton and she just couldn't deal with that yet. Brooke with pain in her heart stared at the number on her cell phone and sighed,
"I have to be strong; if Lucas and I are friends then I should be there for him", she said to herself.
She thought to herself that even thought she loves Lucas so much and now that he is not that part in her life that she had hoped she still wanted to at least be his friend even if that meant she would get hurt in the process.

-----------------------------

Lucas knew he had to talk to Brooke right away, he had to meet her. He picked up his cell phone and dialled Brooke's number, as he was dialling her number he kept on thinking to himself that he just wanted to hold Brooke in his arms and tell that pretty girl how much he loved her and wanted to be with her forever. The phone started to ring,
"Pick up, pick the phone Brooke", Lucas spoke in a high tone.
"Hey Lucas", Brooke said is a soft tone that just melted Lucas's heart.
"Hey Brooke", replied Lucas,
"I need to talk to you about something, it is really urgent", said Lucas,
"Ok, go on am listening", Brooke said with not to much enthusiasm,
"No, I have to meet you, can you come over to my place as soon as you can", he said,
Brooke hesitated for a while as she thought to herself, no she had to be strong and be a friend so she replied back to him, "Yeh sure, I will be there in an hour",
"Can you come sooner than that please it is really important", he said to her in his sweetest tone,
"Yeh okay, will be there in thirty minutes and don't say come quicker than that cause the answer will be no" she said back to him in her cheeky, sarcastic tone.
"Okay then will see you soon", Lucas said quickly,
"Bye", replied Brooke.
As they both put there phones down they both started to wonder what the other was thinking and what would they say to one another when they meet.

------------------------------

Lucas continuously paced across his room thinking of Brooke and just wanting her to come as quick as she could so that he could hold her in his arms and tell her how much he loves her. Lucas looked at the clock that was on his desk and read it out, "11.05, it's only been 5 minutes", since he talked to Brooke on the phone, he sighed.
Lucas kept on looking at the clock after every 2 minutes. Brooke got herself in her car and started her car and drove towards Lucas's house. While she was driving Brooke kept on telling herself that she "has to be strong", even thought she was dreading the thought of Lucas talking to her about Peyton. Though Brooke had deep down accepted Lucas and Peyton's relationship and that they were meant to be, it still hurt to see them together.
Brooke reached her destination she hesitated for a while then came out of her car and walked towards Lucas's bedroom door. As Brooke was about to knock on Lucas's door, Lucas opened the door to see if she was her and waiting outside for him, he was just so anxious to see her, as he opened the door both of them got shocked and startled at the same time with the incident.
"You scared me, is that why you called me? So you can scare me", said Brooke in her sarcastic tone.
"No, Sorry about that", Lucas said in a sweet tone that made Brooke feel weak again.
Brooke entered Lucas's bedroom and ask him, "So what's up? Is everything ok with you and Peyton?"
Lucas replied "Yeah that is all okay, I need to talk to you about something else not Peyton".
"Okay, so what's up?" said Brooke in a worried tone, which Lucas noticed straight away.
Lucas reached out his hand and took Brooke's hand in his and said "I have to tell you something important that means everything in my life",
"I love you Brooke, not Peyton", Lucas said to Brooke.
Brooke let go of his hand and said "what? Do you know what you are saying?"
"Yes, clearer than anything", replied Lucas.
"But Peyton?" said Brooke in a confuse tone.
"I realised that it is you that I want to be with for the rest of my life not Peyton, she is just a good friend nothing more, it's you Brooke that I love not Peyton You are my truelove", Lucas said.
"I want you in my life no one else, you make me feel alive whenever I am with you and no one else makes me feel like that", Lucas said with so much love.
"But Lucas, in your dream and future you saw yourself with Peyton not me", said Brooke.
"No Brooke, when Peyton asked me that question first time I said I saw you and wanted you to be with me, and that was before I knew how Peyton felt about me but even after I knew the way she felt about me I still want you to be the one with me", replied Lucas.
"Luke I cannot do this to Peyton, she needs you, you should be with her not me", Brooke said with sadness in her eyes as she also wanted Lucas more than anything in life but there were some stuff that were going in her life at the moment that she just didn't have the courage to tell him as she was worried if his heart would be able to handle the news especially now that she new about his heart condition, she just didn't want anything to happen to him even if that meant she had to let him go. As Brooke started to say how Peyton is for you Lucas, Lucas leaned forward and kissed Brooke on her lips so passionately that made both of them feel alive again. Brooke parted away from Lucas after a few second into the kiss and said "no Luke, this is wrong you're with Peyton", Lucas replied and quickly said "no Brooke am not we broke up as I realised you are the one for me", both sat silently for a few minutes staring into each others eyes.
"Please Brooke", said Lucas,
"I want to be with you pretty girl, I want to hold you, kiss you, look into your beautiful eyes and spend the rest of my life with you", said Lucas with so much love.
As Brooke was about to say something her cell phone started to ring and interrupting the moment.
"You aren't going to answer that now are you?" said Lucas
After looking at the number Brooke said "I have to its important, am sorry".
Brooke walked towards the door so that she could get some privacy as she didn't want Lucas to know who was on the other side of the call.
Lucas looked towards Brooke after a while of her in the conversation of the call and wondered why she wasn't talking much and when she was she wasn't talking normal, she seemed really worried and scared at the same time, which really hurt him as he wanted to be part of her life so much and just wanted to be there for her.
Brooke ended the call and waited for a while as she held her tears back so that Lucas wouldn't see them and then turned her head towards where Lucas was sitting. She walked towards Lucas and said to him that she had to go that it was urgent, from hearing this Lucas jumped up from were he was sitting and said "wait Brooke", Brooke stopped as she had started to walk towards the door.
"We haven't finished talking, you haven't told me how you feel", said Lucas.
Brooke turned and faced Lucas again and said "I can't talk yet; I need to think about something, I hope you understand", Lucas started to walk towards Brooke and when he had reached next to her only a inch away he held her face in his hand and kissed her. As they kissed it felt to them both that they could overcome anything in life as long as they had each other, after a few seconds Brooke parted herself from the tender kiss that her and Luke had just shared.
"I love you and will always love you, if you give me a another chance I will never let you go", said Lucas, this made Brooke feel even more worse then she felt as even she didn't want to let him go but she just didn't no anymore what life would throw at her and Lucas.
"I love you to Lucas but", said Brooke, "but what?" replied Lucas,
"Lucas life never asked me what I wanted, if it did then life would be Beautiful and yes we would be together", replied Brooke and then walked out of the room and into her car without looking back at Lucas who had followed her, wanting to know what she had meant when she said that.
As Brooke drove off all Lucas could do was look at the car drive off and think about what had just happened and what was going on in Brooke head and life, as there was something before too that she had mentioned in the wedding to him but she never told him what it was and she just broke up with him instead without any proper reason. He thought to himself that he had to find out what was going on with Brooke and make Brooke understand that they were meant to be together forever.
