This is just a one-shot I thought of, and I decided to write it. This is about Brooke not being able to handle Lucas and Peyton together, so she decides to leave. I know it's been done before, but this is my take on it.
Disclaimer- I don't own OTH.
This takes place right after the last episode.
Brooke knocks on Haley's door, and then she goes in. "Hey Tutor-Mom."
"Hey Tigger." Haley replies.
"How are you feeling?" Brooke asks.
"Like I was run over by a car." Haley says seriously, and then cracks a smile. Both girls laugh.
"Haley, I just came to say goodbye." Brooke said, avoiding eye contact.
"What? Where are you going?" Haley asks, shocked.
"I'm going to L.A." Brooke said, looking up only to see tears running down Haley's face.
"Why?" Haley asks, wiping away her tears.
"You know why." Brooke says.
They see Peyton pass by the window, and tears begin to roll down Brooke's cheeks as well.
"Come here." Haley says, and she pats her bed. Brooke goes over and sits down. Haley grabs her hand and says, "Lucas and Peyton?"
Brooke nods her head yes.
"I didn't know you still liked him." Haley said.
"I don't like him. I love him, Haley." Brooke says, then the tears come faster, and Haley pulls her into a hug.
"I have to go say goodbye to a few more people." Brooke said, standing up and walking to the door.
"Come back and see me before you leave." Haley says, tears still rolling down her cheeks.
Brooke nods, then walks out the door, and bumps into Nathan, who manages not to spill his coffee.
"Were you crying?" Nathan asks.
"Yeah. But you might want to go talk to your wife. I'm pretty sure she is upset with me right now." Brooke says, and then walks down the hall, to Lucas's room.
She walks to the door, about to knock, but she looks in, and sees Peyton and Lucas lying on the bed, laughing. She sits down on the floor, and begins to sob.
Karen walks up, and she sits down next to Brooke, and Brooke leans her head over and rests it on Karen's shoulder. Karen wraps her arm around her and says, "You love him, don't you?"
Brooke doesn't do anything, except for start to get up.
Karen stands up to, and puts her hands on Brooke's shoulders, and tells her, "You will always be my favorite of Luke's girlfriends. I love you Brooke, remember that."
"Karen, I'm leaving. I can't stay here. It rips my heart out every time I see them. I can't tell him I love him. I can't be like Peyton." Brooke says.
"Here. You give Luke his sandwich. Go in there, and tell him you're leaving." Karen tells her.
Brooke takes the sandwich, and knocks on the door. Peyton jumps up to get it.
"Brooke!" she says surprised.
"Can I talk to Luke?" Brooke asks.
"Yeah, but what's wrong?" Peyton asked, noticing Brooke's tear-stained cheeks.
"Nothing. I just need to talk to Luke." Brooke said, and then she pushed past Peyton.
Peyton followed her in, and the sat down.
"I meant alone. Can I talk to him alone?" Brooke asked.
Peyton got up and left.
"So, here's your sandwich, Brood… Luke."
"Brooke, no matter if we are together or apart, you will always be my Pretty Girl, my Cherie." Lucas started, but he was interrupted by Brooke's sobs.
"What's wrong, Pretty Girl?" Lucas asked.
"Don't call me that." Brooke sobbed.
The shock on Luke's face was enough to make anyone cry, including himself. Tears were running down his cheeks.
"Luke, I'm leaving. Tonight." Brooke said.
Luke hugged her, and asked, "Why?"
"I, I um…" Brooke stuttered, trying to think of a lie.
"Brooke, you are going to leave because I'm with Peyton aren't you?"
"Bye Luke. I love you." Brooke said, and she got up and left.
Brooke left Lucas sitting in his bed, shocked, with tears running down his cheeks. His Pretty Girl was leaving, and she still loved him. Lucas felt awful for going to Peyton at the basketball game. He hadn't realized the resentment in her eyes after saying what she did. She wanted him to be happy.
"I love you too, Pretty Girl." Luke whispered, and then began to sob.
Brooke walked down the hall. She stood outside Haley's room, dreading going back in. Karen walked up. "How did it go?'
"Pretty much bad. I walked away, and I told him that I loved him. I'm just like Peyton."
Karen and Brooke heard sobs coming form down the hall, and footsteps. It was Peyton.
She was walking by, and she saw Brooke.
"Hey, Sawyer, what happened?" Brooke asked, wiping away her tears.
Peyton slapped Brooke, and it shocked Nathan, who came out of Haley's room, and Karen.
"He said he needed to break up with me because of you. You told him you loved him." Peyton said, and slapped Brooke again, and ran out.
Brooke silently walked into Haley's room.
"I can't believe you're leaving." Haley started, and then saw the handprints on Brooke's face, "What?"
"Peyton slapped me. Luke broke up with her because of me." Brooke said.
"Are you okay?"
"I have to go Haley." Brooke walked up to her, they hugged, and they both began to cry hard. "Goodbye Junior Scott." Brooke said, and put her Hand on Haley's belly.
"Love you Tigger." Haley cried.
"Love you too, Tutor mom." Brooke said, and then left the hospital.
Brooke got on her flight to L.A. She didn't know if she was ever coming back. She would miss the drama of Tree Hill. She would miss her friends, and the love of her life. She would especially miss Haley. She would miss everything.
"I hope I get to come back. I love it here." Brooke whispered to herself as her plane took off, and she headed for L.A.
I hope you liked the one-shot. I will make it into a longer story with some more chapters if reviewers want that. If I wrote more to this, it would be about Haley's baby, Leyton break-up, and is there another reason Brooke left Tree Hill? Review for extra chapters.
