Lucas stood outside Brooke's door, watching her and Felix. He thought that just when he was doing something right with her, that another obstacle would get in his way. He loved her, he had always loved her but he had fucked up royally. But even when he was with Payton, he still loved Brooke. And he couldn't help but think that what he was seeing/overhearing was going to mess everything up.
"Brooke, talk to me. Just… just tell me how you feel. I know it's scary… and I know you had a tough time with Lucas… but just tell me if you can show me your heart. Because if you do, I'll guard it with my life. Just say Ok." Brooke's eyes just wondered around the room, trying to avoid looking into Felix's eyes. She knew that she didn't love him, she still loved her first love. She knew that if she could just look into Lucas's piercing eyes and that she would be safe.
"Brooke, just say Ok." Felix asked, almost begging now. Brook started to talk, but nothing would come out. She kept looking around, but just when she felt that she was able to speak, she spotted what she thought was only in her dreams. There he was, standing there. And suddenly, she found her voice.
"I'm sorry Felix. I'm sorry." Brooke got up and started running until she fell into what she felt was the safest place in the world. "Do you remember the other day when I said that I missed us being able to talk?"
"Yeah." Lucas replied, feeling almost complete with her in his arms.
"Well I also missed us being able to do this." Brooke leaned in and was met with the lips that she knew all to well. It felt as if they had never been apart. Lucas broke apart and placed his forehead onto hers. He felt that the world had stopped and everything was in slow motion.
They could have stayed like that forever, if it weren't for the stare that broke apart their world. Felix just stood there like he was frozen in time. "I'm so sorry Felix, but..."
"Brooke, just stop. I just want to see you happy. It's obvious that being with Lucas makes you happy. I'll see you later" Felix left without looking back as he walked away from Brooke. Lucas and Brooke went back into their world, but Felix wasn't done with them yet. "Lucas doesn't make her happy, but she doesn't know that," Felix thought "I'll show her that he hasn't changed. Then she'll come running to me. Everything will work out just like I want, it always does."
