Lucas sat at the airport wondering what he was going to do. Who he was going to choose. He had all these questions going through his head right now. Which one wanted him? Did he deserve any of them? Would it be Brooke? Peyton? Lindsey? During all of this thinking he drifted off to sleep.
He was dreaming about Brooke.
He was sitting on the couch and Brooke's head was on his chest.
" I love you." Brooke said.
" I love you too." Lucas said with a smile.
They sat in silence and watched TV for a few minutes before anything was said.
" I was thinking about going to New York to that fashion show." Brooke said with a sigh.
Lucas stayed quiet. It took a moment for what she said to sink in.
" But what about me? And Tree Hill?" Lucas asked.
" You can come with me, and Tree Hill will always be there. Besides I'd only be gone for a week." Brooke said.
" What about Jamie's birthday?" Lucas asked.
" Work comes first." Brooke said.
" But it's his birthday and he wants you there." Lucas said.
" Well I have to go this is a big thing for me." Brooke said.
Then that's when the dream ended. He then all of a sudden saw Lindsey and Peyton.
" Hey Peyton." Lucas said.
" Wow, you say hi to her and not me first!" Lindsey screamed.
" Well it's obvious that he loves me more!" Peyton yelled.
" Well then why did he marry me?" Lindsey yelled with her hand in the air and a ring sparkling on her finger.
" Well just remember he proposed to me first!" Peyton said.
" Just get out Peyton!" Lucas yelled.
" But Luke. You love me I know you do." Peyton said with sad eyes.
Lucas avoided them.
Peyton left.
This dream was weird. He so badly wanted to wake up. Then he entered his mom's house. Peyton was standing there.
" So where were you?" Peyton asked.
" Just getting my beautiful wife a little present." He said.
He pulled out some roses.
" Aww." She said.
She gave him a kiss and smiled.
A man woke Lucas up.
" Hi there kid." The guy said.
" Hi." Lucas said.
" Where you headed?" He asked him.
" I'm not sure." Lucas said.
" Well then why are ya here?" The man said.
" Just deciding on what to do about a life-changing decision." Lucas said.
" Let me guess, it involves a woman." The man asked with a small smile.
" No, 3." Lucas said.
" Choosing which one to be with?" The man asked.
" Yep." Lucas replied.
" Of course." The man said with a chuckle.
" Well tell me about them." The man said.
"Well I guess I should start with Lindsey. She is a very beautiful girl. Any man on this planet would be lucky to have her. She's funny, smart, and she's a very caring person. She has a good heart. She's very insecure though." Lucas said.
" What makes her so insecure?" The man asked.
By now Lucas found out the mans name by reading his dog tags. He was in the Navy. His name is Benjamin.
" Well I have to admit it's partly my fault. My ex-girlfriends have come back to Tree Hill. Lindsey was feeling insecure from that very moment. And when she found out I had kissed Peyton. It was hard on her." Lucas said.
" Tell me about Peyton." Benjamin.
" Peyton's a very hot and cold person. One minute She's telling me she loves me and then the next minute she's hitting on some bartender. She can't just be happy by herself. She's everywhere. She always does something wrong. And I let her. I can't understand her anymore, and I can't explain her anymore. She used to be just the girl that always was drawing and wasn't so out of control. She's at a point in her life where she doesn't know what to do. She's changed." Lucas said with a sigh.
" And you still love her?" The man asked.
" Yeah." Lucas said hanging his head.
" And Brooke?"
" Brooke is a very caring person. Selfless, independent, strong, and beautiful. She's gone through so much in her life. We've gone through a lot of it together. Being with was good. I don't have anything bad to say about Brooke except for the fact that she's going through a very hard time right now. I don't think she's ready for love. Especially with her company, and her mom." Lucas said.
" Well maybe if you really love her, you'll be there with her through this." Benjamin said.
Lucas sighed.
" Kid, I can't help you. I think all I've done is probably changed your view on things. Only you know who you really want." The man said.
He left Lucas to think.
The next morning Brooke knocked on the door.
Lucas had no clue how he got home. He remembered talking to Benjamin but then everything went blank.
" Luke?" Brooke said as she shook him.
He woke up.
" How are you feeling?" She asked as she rubbed his hand.
" Bad. But I don't know why. What happened last night?" He asked.
Brooke sighed. She remembered perfectly. She moved her hand away from his.
" I went to the airport to go back to New York. I saw you sitting at the Airport's bar. You were so drunk, and then you fell asleep. I went over to the bar and took you to my car. You threw-up once or twice along the way. Then I took you here." Brooke said with a small sigh.
" Why didn't you go back to New York after you took me home?" Lucas asked.
" I felt like maybe it was a sign that I wasn't supposed to go yet." Brooke said.
He could tell she was sad. He could see it in her eyes. It took him a few minutes to say something.
" Are you ok Brooke?" He asked her.
" Not really." She said.
" Is it Angie?" Lucas asked.
Brooke eyes began to be filled with water at the name. She started breaking down in tears. She wasn't sure why. She knew a lot of it was because of Angie.
He grabbed her and held her in his arms. He held her tight as if he was trying to shield her from the hurt.
" It's going to be ok Brooke." Lucas said.
" No it's not. Angie's gone and I just…" She said but then trailed off in sobs.
She stood up after a few minutes. She wiped the tears off of her face.
" I told myself that I wasn't going to do this and look at me." Brooke said.
Lucas shook his head.
"Brooke why do you always try to be strong? It's not bad to cry." Lucas said.
Brooke didn't answer the question.
" I should go Luke. I'll see you later." Brooke said.
She started to walk out the door.
"Brooke!" Lucas called.
She turned around. Her eyes were red. Tears were still streaming down her face. Mascara was running down her cheeks. He could see the pain in her eyes.
" If you ever need me, I'll be here. No matter what. I promise." Lucas said with a smile.
Brooke nodded her head. She shrugged and smiled.
" Thank you Lucas." Brooke said.
She left.

Haley had just gotten to Peyton's studio. She heard Peyton say awesome to Mia.
Mia smiled.
" Hey Haley!" Mia yelled.
Haley waved.
" Hello Mrs. Haley James-Scott. I have some good news for you." Peyton said.
" Oh yeah? How good? Like worth screaming and jumping up and down? Or me just saying cool?" Haley asked.
" Well I think It's screaming and jumping up and down!" Peyton said with a smile.
" Well then let's hear it." Haley said.
" A few big time producers heard a song that I played for them. One of yours. And they loved it! They want to put you and Mia in a duet!" Peyton said with a huge smile.
Haley's smile went into a frown.
" Whoa hold on! You're supposed to be jumping up and down! Why aren't you?" Peyton asked.
" Peyton I can't do the song." Haley said looking down.
" Why not?" Peyton asked.
" Because. I just…I just can't." Haley said.
Mia looked at Haley.
" What's the matter Haley? Everyone thought it was a good idea." Mia said.
" I mean it's a great opportunity and everything. I just don't think I'm ready for it. And I don't want it to be like it was last time." Haley said.
" Wait, what happened last time?" Mia asked.
" Well Haley went on tour with Chris Keller and left Nathan, when she came back Nathan turned into an ass. And they almost got divorced." Peyton said.
" Wow that is bad." Mia said with wide eyes.
" Well you need to think about it Haley. This is a really good opportunity, like you said." Peyton said raising her eyebrows at Haley.
" I know." Haley said with a sigh.
Nathan was on the River Court with Q.
" Man I'm beating Nate Scott?" Q asked as he pointed to himself.
Nathan looked at Q and smiled.
"Yeah, one day when I fully come back, we'll see who's beating who." Nathan said.
" Yeah, I believe you can do it. But until then, I'm the best!" Q said as he did a jump shot and it swooshed into the basket.
Nathan smiled and started dribbling the ball.
