I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
I lost myself in a familiar song.
- Boston, More than a Feeling
The headphones flood with sound as he presses play on his i-pod. He spends the entire drive debating weather or not he should really do this. So she misses him, so what? He's nervous because she's the most recent girl he pictured his future with, It's too late though because his feet have already carried him to the door of her hotel room, and his hand is balled into a fist rapping lightly on the door.
"Lucas?" She looks tired.
"Hi."
"So,"
"I got your message." He says, breathing deeply. "Let's go to Vegas."
"I- Wait, what? Vegas? Why?" She manages.
"Let's just get away, let's get married away from everyone, I love you Lindsey so let's just go." Lucas pleads.
"Married?"
"Married."
"I can't." is all he catches before the door is slammed in his face.
It amazes him how she can do this. How both of them can. Lindsey drives him to this, to Tric where he drinks his problems away. However Tric is really where he shouldn't be, in case the other one decides to rescue him. Peyton has this magic talent to just make his girlfriends, or fiancés, disappear. Then he's back to feeling like he needs to save her from the heartache he caused.
He's knocking on a door again, but this time it's because he needs to be saved, instead of the other way around.
"Lucas?"
"Hi." He says. It's seems like déjà vu, except he's slurring this time.
"Are you drunk?"
"Are you my mother?" He knows it's harsh, but he's not exactly a ray of sunshine right now.
"Did you drive here drunk?"
"I walked."
"From?"
"Brooke can we stop with the 20 questions?" It's the most coherent thought he's had all night.
"Come in." She says, stepping out of the door way.
It amazes him how she can do this, just take him in after all he's done to her, breaking her heart and what not. But she's got this magic ability to just get past it all and take care of him when he's completely wrecked, like he is now.
And it's not like with Peyton, where he's the hero and he knows it, or with Lindsey, where they can make each other feel safe and happy. She's Brooke Davis, she's a hero and she's clueless.
Possible chapter story. Depends on reviews and ideas. If you have any I would love to hear them.
