Brooke is sitting at the kitchen table in the house that she shares with her fiancé Lucas talking on the phone. "No we can't discuss that right now!" she says at almost a whisper. She hears the other person respond loudly "Why the hell not Brooke? We need to discuss this now. Hell we should have discussed this three years ago!" Brooke sighs and shakes her head and that's when she notices that Lucas is walking towards her. "Listen I have to go but we will finish this later." she says slamming the phone shut.

Lucas walks up behind and puts his hands on her shoulders "Hey Pretty Girl who was that?" he asks leaning down to kiss the top of her head. She turns and pastes on a fake smile "Oh it was just someone from the office wanting to question my every move. You know how Victoria is she is always having people spy on me." she is thankful when Lucas seems to buy this story. He just nods and walks over to the coffee pot and pours himself a cup.

After he rejoins her at the table he takes her hand "Brooke talk to me what's really going on with you?" he asks noticing the panic in her eyes but it quickly disappears and determination replaces it. She smiles at him and shakes her head slightly "Luke honey I'm fine I promise. I just have a lot on my mind that's all." she says waving away his fears.

He studies her for a few minutes and decides that maybe she is ok and that maybe she is just worried about her new line. He hopes that she isn't having second thoughts about marrying him. They have had a rocky last couple of years and he is actually surprised that she has put up with him for as long as she has. He thinks back to when all of their trouble started.

Brooke has just walked into his bedroom looking very angry and instantly he is wondering what he has done. "How dare you Lucas Scott?" she says glaring at him. Lucas honestly has no idea why she is so angry at him but he just knows that she is very angry. She walks over to him and shoves him hard "How dare you sleep with someone else? I thought you loved me?" she says breaking down into tears.

As the realization dawns on him, he knows that she knows what he did and he instantly looks guilty "I didn't think you knew about that." he says weakly but he would have been better off not saying anything at all. She glares at him "That's all you have to say? I can't believe this Lucas, how many times did you screw her? God I can't do this anymore." she says turning to walk away.

He grabs her to stop her "Brooke it was one time and I didn't mean for it to happen. Please you have to believe me I love you with all of my heart, I'm in love with you and only you. She was hurting and it was stupid ok? But it was just one time it was just one weak moment. I'm so sorry." he says as he begins to cry his own tears. She just shakes her head and walks out.

Snapping out of his memories he shakes his head "You're happy right Brooke?" he asks. She snaps her head up to look at him with shock and surprise in her eyes "Of course I'm happy Lucas why wouldn't I be? I love you with all of my heart and I always will." she says unsure of why he would ask her that question. He just nods his head and gets up from the table and walks away.

A few hours later Brooke is sitting on their bed going through some old pictures of when they were in high school when she comes across an older photo. Lucas walks up behind her and looks over her shoulder "You miss her don't you?" he asks quietly. Brooke just nods her head and he can tell that she is crying just looking at the old photograph.

Brooke sits there staring at the picture in her hand and thinks about the people in it. She remembers that those two people used to be fearless and she misses that time of her life. She misses her best friend more than anything, she just wishes she could hug her one last time and tell her that she loves her and that she's sorry for everything. Lucas sits down beside her and wraps his arm around her. He sighs "Do you want to go visit her?" he asks gently. Brooke just nods her head.

They make the short drive across town and walk towards where she is. When they reach their destination Lucas walks away giving Brooke some time alone with her old friend. Brooke looks down at the tombstone and begins to cry loud sobbing cries. The tombstone reads:

Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer

1988-2006

'You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings'

Brooke drops down to her knees "Oh God can you ever forgive me for what I've done? I don't know how I'm supposed to go on like this anymore! I need you Peyton and I'm not sure how to get through this without you. It's been three years and I miss you more and more every day! I need you here Peyton, I need you to be there for me on my wedding day and when my babies are born. God I, I just need you so badly. Know that I will always love you no matter what. I love you P. Sawyer." she places the single Lily on Peyton's grave and walks over to where Lucas is waiting for her.

Lucas looks at her and can tell that she isn't holding up too well. He knows that he should get her home but he wants to talk to Peyton too. He feels that he at least owes her that because of the way he treated her just before the accident. "Can I talk to her for a minute?" he asks not wanting to upset Brooke anymore then she already is. Brooke just nods knowing that Lucas still feels as guilty about the accident as she does.

He slowly makes his way over to the place Brooke just left. He kneels down and places his hand on the tombstone "Hey Blondie you know this place isn't the same without you here. I'm so sorry for the things I said to you right before the accident I never meant to hurt you. Please believe that and I promise you that I will take care of Brooke the way you would want me to. I just hope that you and our daughter are looking down on us from up there and that you both forgive me. I miss you Peyton you were one hell of a friend." he stops talking to try to compose himself.

While he is talking to Peyton, Brooke's cell phone rings and when she sees whose calling she doesn't want to answer it but she knows that if she doesn't answer the call the person will just keep calling "Hello!" she says quietly. "We need to talk about his Brooke. I can't keep doing this or keeping this secret. Lucas needs to know the truth and he needs to know the truth now." the other person says.

Brooke sighs "I can't do this right now we are at the cemetery. I'll call you later." the other person growls in anger "Fine but we will talk about this soon. But just know that either you tell Lucas soon or I'll tell him myself." Brooke just stands there looking horrified. Lucas can't know or this will ruin everything. I've got to find a way to stop this before it gets out of hand. She thinks to herself as she looks up to see Lucas walking towards her and she tries to plaster on her best fake smile and prays like hell that he doesn't find out the truth.

Should I continue? If I do should the chapters be longer or the length they are now?
