She was my life & I miss her like hell.
When I was fifteen I fell in love. Not just that school girl crush kind of love you would just add it up to be without knowing the whole story. It was real, more real than anything else I have ever had in my life. Nobody knew at first though…I mean we were young, scared, we wanted to know that it was what we really wanted, and our school wasn't exactly the most excepting at the time when it came to that sort of thing. Renee though, she was beautiful inside and out, and I loved every single thing about her, from the little freckle on her cheek to how her for-head would get all wrinkled up whenever she was confused about something. She was practically a saint, believed in god more than anyone I knew, even though she had every reason to resent him, she was kind to everyone around her, she loved animals and worked at the shelter, captain of our soccer team since 7th grade, tutored kids at school, she was even going to be valedictorian of her class. Perfection like that doesn't exist very often. I was fifteen and she was seventeen, we had been best friends since I was ten and joined O'Reilly United. I would never change anything that happened with us…except for how we ended. Most people would say that fifteen is way to young to be in love but trust me in this case they are could not be more wrong. What I felt for Renee was beyond anything that I ever thought I could feel for another person. For the first time I was putting someone else before myself, and that was a shock to not only me but everyone around me as I am, or rather was quite a selfish person. My life just made perfect sense when we were together, after all she was my best friend. Living in small town Tree Hill, North Carolina with my dream or rather my parents dream since I was a child, being for me to get a full soccer scholarship to the University of North Carolina, caused me to be thrown into O'Reilly United at the ripe young age of ten. O'Reilly United was the premier soccer team founded by Heather O'Reilly herself, my idol of course and that club was what was going to get me into UNC, or at least that's what my father always had to say. I can still remember the first time I saw Renee, I had never seen someone around my age handle a soccer ball so gracefully…she had an amazing talent and it defiantly shown. Years went by and that girl that I'd watched that day soon became the best friend I would ever have and then so much more. That Rochester tournament changed my life in so many ways, I'll never forget those first few days. I remember the fear we had that when our team found out they would hate us, of course that was a huge over reaction and everyone had pretty much known it before we had. A lot of the time, on warm nights, we use to just lay out on her deck by the lake and watch the stars. It was like the stars just weren't as beautiful anywhere else but right there lying next to her. Renee had the most gorgeous smile you might remember…and her laugh was the most amazing thing I'd ever heard, it was so happy and true, and would just cause a plague of laughter from everyone around her, which you again might remember…just thinking about it can still cause my heart to melt. Her Emerald green eyes were like a portal to all her emotions…I could always tell just how she felt simply by looking into them. Problem is, now it is never going to be the same, my life has been ripped apart, yes maybe it will get better in time but that won't change how she is not here anymore or how it is all my fault that she is not. Renee was my life and now that she is gone I don't even know what I exist for. She use to tell me "God's never going to give you more than you can handle." Well how the hell am I suppose to handle the fact that he took her from me? She was my best friend and the only person I ever wanted to be with, she was the only real and stable thing I had in my life, and he just had to take that from me. She could make me tremble with a simple touch…and when he took her from me, us…he took my heart right along with her. So Mrs. Lawrence you asked our class to write about someone important, someone that has shaped who we are today and I can honestly tell you that Renee Colby would be the only person I could write about for you, that would have truly done just that.
"Miss Davis I would like to speak with you ." said Mrs. Lawrence looking up from Brooke's paper after the bell rang signaling the end of school
"Yes?" asked Brooke as she slowly made her way towards her teacher
"I wanted to talk about this." answered Mrs. Lawrence looking up from her desk and handing Brooke the paper with a bright red A+ on it
"What about it?"
"You and Miss Colby…I mean I know you two were close…and I just wanted to let you know that if you ever need to talk to someone you can always come to me."
"You don't have to worry Mrs. Lawrence my parents have already taken care of that." replied Brooke, "It's not like money's a problem…whatever it takes to get me back into soccer sooner right?" laughed Brooke at how cold her father had been when he spoke about the whole situation
"Miss Davis…"
"Really I'm fine." hurried Brooke as she lied through her teeth, "I have physical therapy in an hour and then I need to get over to the hospital it takes forever to get there, I don't want to make Haley mad…see you Monday Mrs. Lawrence." said Brooke grabbing her crutches and making her way out to the parking lot where Chase was waiting for her
"Hey," said Chase with a smile taking her crutches and wrapping his arm around her to help her over to his truck, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm fine." answered Brooke as she fought back the tears coming to her eyes
"You still want me to take you to her after your physical therapy?"
"Yeah, I need to see her today." answered Brooke as Chase shut the door
"You know Lucas is coming home today for Christmas break."
"Peyton's coming back Sunday."
"The crew's finally going to all be together again." smiled Chase as he continued to drive and a completely zoned out Brooke just stared out the window
"Brooke?" whispered Renee as she pushed open the door to the hotel room
"Renee?" asked Brooke, "How did you get in here!", " You know Coach O'Connor will flip."
"I swiped the extra key card, and since when have you ever known me to care what coach would have to say." laughed Renee as she jumped onto Brooke's bed
"How about all the time!" laughed Brooke, "I remember just last week when we were in the locker room and…"
"Alright fine but that was different we were going to be late to practice." smiled Renee, "Right now we have a hotel room and all night to do whatever we want." said Renee as she winked at her girlfriend
"You know I think I suddenly feel very tired." yawned Brooke with a joking grin
"Well we could sleep…or we could get out of here, maybe go look at the stars." smiled Renee as she pulled a reluctant Brooke out of the bed, "Come on Davis don't you love me." smirked Renee
"Colby I love you like stupid trust me." laughed Brooke, "Where to?"
"Well we're in New Hampshire so I'm going to have to say to the ocean!" answered Renee enthusiastically as her green eyes brightened even in the darkness of the room and Brooke just couldn't help but kiss her, "Or we can stay here." choked our Renee after Brooke pulled away, "Yeah we're so staying here." smirked Renee as she backed them into the bed, "So staying here." she mumbled through their kissing.
"I miss her Chase."
"We all do Brooke." said Chase as he watched her stare out the window
