Lucas walked over to Peyton and sat next to her on the beach

L- I guess its just you and me this summer

P- just the two of us

L- so what's wrong with you?

P- I don't want to talk about it

L- If were going to be friends Peyton you need to talk to me

P- you go first

L- ok, I pored my heart out to Brooke, I kissed her and all she said was I have to go and she left. I am so confussed, does she like me, what will happen when she gets back..

P- do you love her?

L- with all my heart..and I told her that

P- and she just left?

L- yah

P- she loves you Lucas

L- how can you be sure

P- im her best friend and I can see it in her eyes..she'll be back..and when she is you guys will be together

L- and when he comes back you guys will be together

P- jake?

L- who else? I know you love him Peyton..and he loves you he will be back

P- I know it just hurts

L- you want to go order a pizza..rent a movie?

P- yah that would be cool

L- ok lets go


H- Hi

N- Haley? What are you doing here?

H- I came back for you Nathan, I love you

N- what about your tour and your precious Chris?

H- I don't want chris Nathan… I never did..i love you and im sorry it took me so long to notice that

N- you should have thought about that before you left

He slammed the door in her face and she fell on the ground crying


Brooke cried all the way home to California..how could she be so stupid. She needed Lucas. She loved Lucas. She had to call him. To let him know she was coming home to him as soon as possible. She dialed his number and it rang only once before he picked up.

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against all odds and that's what I've got to face

L- Brooke?

B- Hey Broody

L- how are you?

B- im fine

L- did you make it to California okay?

B- yeah I just got into my house..my parents aren't even here

L- aww im sorry Brooke

B- Lucas there is a reason that I called you

L- ok

B- I am sorry that I walked out on you the way that I did. I was scared..im still scared but I know that you cant go thourhg love being scraed or else you will never live. I need you Lucas..i want you to wiat for me because as soon as I can I will be getting on a plane to come to you..so we can be together…I love you Lucas.

There was a long silence and Brooke was afraid Lucas had hung up on her

B- Lucas are you there?

L- im sorry Brooke I was just letting it soke in

B- am I too late?

L- you will never be too late for me..i will wait for you forever Brooke..i love you..

B- aww Luke..i love you so much

L- come home soon

B- ill call you tomorrow ok?

L- you better

B- love you

L- you too

B- bye

Brooke smiled before she fell asleep..a picture of her and Lucas in her arms

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you,
well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now
