Remembering a Friendship Sealed With One Promise
Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill.
Note: Well, this is my first story so I hope you like it! Sorry this first chapter might be short; I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with this story so I'm going to try to think of things to put in the future chapters as I type.
Prologue
It's the last week of summer and everyone is off to do their own thing before they have to take off to start college, part time jobs, internships, or traveling the world. The day is slow, with the small rays of light beating down on two best friends as they're sitting under a tree.
"I really wish we were going to the same schools," mumbled Brooke with a miserable face.
"Don't be sad, before you know it when you're a famous actor and I, a famous novelist we'll be catching up and talking the years we missed together," chuckled the blond, blue-eyed best friend.
"Yeah, and hopefully by then I'm not all wrinkly and old looking from waiting too long!" Brooke joked as she played with his messy hair.
He looked at her and smiled, "At least you'll always be my friend, Pretty Girl."
Brooked nodded. "I don't want to leave tomorrow! It's too soon. Promise me when I win an Oscar you'll be there, sitting next to me and clapping as hard as you can."
"Of course I will, after all you'll be forced to send me an invitation anyway," smirked Lucas.
"Yup, and when you become a famous writer, I'll have to be the first one they cast for your book's movie," the cheery brunette replied half joking and half serious.
The tree's branches sway from the wind and after a short comfortable silence they both fall into a deep slumber with their heads leaned on each other, but not before Lucas faintly whispers, "It's a promise."
They then sleep there peacefully knowing that even if they separate tomorrow, they'll see each other again someday in the future.
A Few Hours Later
"Good thing I packed last week, now we can spend the rest of tonight resting before we leave for college," sighed Brooke, relieved from waking up after the peaceful nap.
"You mean your stuff that you forced me to pack. Now I have dreams of boxes haunting me at night."
"Hey! At least I baked you cake after that."
Lucas stared at her and Brooke squirmed a little and bit her lip.
Brooke then admitted, "Ok fine, fine… at least I BOUGHT you cake."
"It was good too, so we're even," Lucas said as he laughed.
"Well I have to go now, and don't forget to take me to the airport tomorrow!" cried Brooke as she hugged him.
"Brooke, I'd never forget, you would forget if you had to take me though." Luke stuck his tongue at her before he closed the door and shook his head and laughed.
"I'll miss having you around Brooke Davis," the teenager said out loud as he went to go sleep once again, but in the comfort of his bed.
