Drabble-y first chapter, I think. Set before Lindsey pulls a runaway bride.
Disclaimer- Epic would have a different meaning if I owned One Tree Hill
"Broody?"
"What?" Lucas asked, surprised. "Lindsey where did you hear that?"
Lindsey sat on the floor of Lucas's room, a few boxes scattered around her.
"Letter 54."
"You read them." Fury rushed through Lucas's body. Brooke's box of letters had been shoved to the back of his closet,
like he was trying to hide them from the world.
"I thought you loved Peyton in high school." Lindsey said.
"Why does anything I do in this town revolve around Peyton?" He said, raising his voice slightly.
"Oh I don't know Luke maybe because you wrote a friggen book about her?"
"Look Lindsey, there was a part in my past when I was not in love with Peyton. Brooke and me were together for a long
time and I loved her with everything I had."
"How come you never put this in your book, or anything for that matter in the book about Brooke."
"I…I don't know. With Peyton it was easy to put it on paper. I just, I wasn't supposed to be in love with Brooke.
Everyone said…"
"From what those letters said it looked like you relationship with Brooke was so fragile, you didn't want to expose it to
the world. Like it might break or something.
"Yeah. I guess. I'm sorry, I never thought you would find the box, I guess even I forgot about it."
"Do you love her?"
"Lindsey." Lucas sighed. "Brooke has always had a piece of my heart. She was my first love, the girl I lost my…well
whatever, but I need you to know that what I had with both Peyton and Brooke is gone. I love you."
"I love you too." Lindsey answered. She was trying to believe all of this with her whole heart.
"Did you know we have the same initials?" Lucas said, trying to lighten the mood.
Lindsey laughed. Brooke Davis was a great friend. Lindsey Strauss was his girlfriend. For now at least.
