This is a one shot I thought of the other day. I am really hoping Brooke and Lucas get a scene together tonight, but I have my doubts.
Imagine that Lucas gives Brooke this letter after Graduation, maybe when they're all at the hospital (waiting for Naley's baby). But know one knows about Dan or what Lucas has been through.

Brooke
I write what I have not had the courage to say out loud.
This year has been…difficult, sorrowful, bitter and ugly. We have all grown up way beyond our years. We were torn from our childhood and forced to grow up. But it has also been a year that taught me how to fall in love.
You, Brooke Davis, were my first on many occasions (the Blue Post will never leave my memory). The most important being: my first time to fall in love. It was more exciting than I ever imagined. And the battle was well worth the reward. I know in the end it seemed like we had more bad than good but that was never the case. We had a lot of fucking good. Hell, it was great. I know I'll be reminisced as the boy who tore your heart out, twice, but you'll always be known as my…pretty girl.
I know I wasn't the best boyfriend. I think I'm getting better though. It's because of you that I want to try. Because of you that I want to feel that all over again. However, there is a storm brewing up ahead and my boyfriend skills (or lack thereof) may be put on the back burner. Maybe, with some time alone, I can figure out who I am. Funny, isn't that what High School's all about?
Before I say more I need you to know that Peyton knows I'm writing this. In fact, she encouraged it. This is not something I wanted to do behind her back, and I know that's important for you to know.
I ask you to not become a stranger, for my sake. Besides, soon we will have a closer bond than ever. The two of us will be godparents; God only knows why Haley picked us, but I think we'll do alright. See, we'll have the little Naley baby to thank whenever we see each other. But I hope we will see each other more than that. One day I hope we can be friends. Keep in touch pretty girl, you know where I am and I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
I know my mom will miss you, so check in with her once and a while. She loves you like a daughter and I hope you don't leave without saying goodbye to her. You are more than welcome to stop by the hospital; she would want you to. Remember, what my mom told me before I left for Wilmington with Keith (which I quickly returned from but after I wrote you and Peyton the letter you didn't read and later burned): THERE IS ONLY ONE TREE HILL.
So, farewell for now…but don't say goodbye, just goodnight.
Yours truly,
Luke
