My Pretty Girl

Episode 6x01…a Brucas story…the way it was meant to be.

"Hey it's me. Look I'm at the airport and I got two tickets to Las Vegas. You wanna get married tonight." Lucas questions.

"Lucas, are you serious. You're kidding me right?" She replied.

"I'm serious! I love you, pretty girl." Lucas exclaims

"Luke, this is crazy! What about Peyton? She loves you and you love her. That's the way it was meant to be. She is your soul mate remember. She would say yes in a heartbeat. So why are you calling me huh call her. Brooke sighs.

"I am sick and tired of people telling me who I love. It's my life and my heart which both belong to you Cheery.

"Luke…."

"No Brooke! I love you and only you! You were always there for me Brooke. When Keith died when my book was getting published. You were always there. The comet was about you Brooke. Not Peyton and not Lindsey, but you Cheery. You brought direction, beauty, and meaning into my life the minute you were in the back seat of my car naked with those furry little mittens on. You Brooke Davis. You and only you. People who are meant to be together always find themselves in the end. That is what you always told me pretty girl. So I am making it happen I am fighting for us to be together because I love you so much and I want you next to me when my dreams come true. And I know that you love me too! And see here I am giving another embarrassing speech and you aren't even here."

"I love you too Broody. I always have, but Peyton is my best friend. I promised myself a long time ago that I would never hurt Peyton the way she hurt me.

"For once in your life Brooke, be selfish. Do the one thing that will make you happy. I never belonged to her Brooke, she doesn't have me. She never truly did. My heart always remained with you."

"Luke…ok how about I come to the airport and we fly out. No promises on getting married, but we talk about everything our part, present, and future. Because I love you too Broody, so much. I don't think I ever stopped." She confessed.

"That's all I ask pretty girl. It sounds so good to hear you say that. I will see you in about 30 mins. The flight leave in about an hour and a half so go home and pack a bag and get here because I need to see you. I love you cheery."

About 30 mins. Later.

Brooke arrives at the airport and spots Luke. She couldn't help but smile at her blonde blue eyed love. The past 4.5 years have been so lonely for her like something was missing and she always knew what it was, but she could never have it because she vowed to herself she would never be like Peyton, but Luke always had a hold on her and now here she is.

Lucas turns around and spots the love of his life. He feels a huge grin spreading across his face as he walks to her and pulls her into an enormous hug.

Luke: let's go cheery. They are boarding first class right now.

The two bored the plane in comfortable silence. Brooke waited until the plane took off before she started talking.

Brooke: first-class? Really Luke that wasn't necessary.

Luke: I want this week to be memorable. It will be the beginning of the rest of our life together.

Brooke: hold your horses Luke. We still need to talk about this whole impromptu wedding. I don't know if I can trust you again Luke. How do I know that you won't want Peyton when we are half way into this relationship? I can't survive another heartbreak Luke. I just can't.

Luke: I know Brooke. And I know I hurt you so much in the past, but the truth is that senior year you broke me. When you came and broke up with me in my room that day you took my heart with you. I loved you so much. I still do.

Brooke: Really Luke. Because about 2 months after we broke up, you and Peyton were together. That day at the state championships broke my heart all over again!

Luke: You pushed me towards her Brooke! I fought so hard for you! I fought and fought! But you were so damn stubborn and told me you wouldn't fight for me! What was I supposed to do? Even when I was with Peyton I still loved you. It was wrong, but I used her as an escape from the ache you left in my heart. I proposed to her in LA for all the wrong reasons. I did it because I knew we were drifting apart and she kept me from breaking from the pain you caused. The truth is Brooke, we both got hurt senior year and we still love each other. Maybe it wasn't the right time for us then, but now we are older and wiser and we can be perfect together and happy.

Both Brooke and Lucas had tears streaming down their face. They just stared at each other until Brooke broke the silence and asked the question Lucas knew would come up, but he had all the answers to her questions.

Brooke: but what about "Ravens" y- you said that you w-would a-always and f-forever l-l-love, Peyton Sawyer.

Luke: Before every publishing of a book it gets edited. Brooke I have the original manuscript of my book with me cause I had a feeling that we would talk about this. Here look at it and turn to page 178.

When Brooke turned to the page Lucas pointed to one specific line. It read "it was the end of a tiring game, but she came bouncing out of the gymnasium and I just look at her and I knew I would always love this girl." Brooke was confused at first there wasn't I name or anything, but Lucas pulled her out of her thoughts and said…

Luke: Brooke can you really see Peyton "bouncing" out of the gym. She wasn't exactly the happiest cheerleader.

Brooke just stared at him wide-eyed never realizing that she missed such a small yet important detail in Lucas's book.

Luke: now turn to the last page.

When Brooke turned to the last page going to read the one line that always broke her heart, she froze. Her heart stopped and she just read the line over and over and over again. The line that she always thought that held Peyton Sawyer's name was not there. The line she read mended her heart all over again because it read "In that moment of clarity, I knew one thing for sure. I am and will always be forever in love with Brooke Davis." She turned and looked at Lucas with confused and questioning eyes.

Luke: I remember that day clearly. I was having a good day. I was writing for hours and when I wrote that last line I wasn't thinking about what I was writing. I was letting my heart do all the talking and that was what was typed. I didn't even double check it. I just saved it because I knew it was perfect and it felt write. I printed copies and sent them to publishers. I wasn't until after I had seen you in New York that day, and I saw down with Lindsey that I saw it. I saw the line that I wish could be true. But I knew that if it was published like that there was a chance that I would lose you forever and that was a chance I wasn't willing to take.

Brooke looked at Luke with such love. She did the only thing in that moment that she could think of. She pulled him into a deep passionate kiss that they had both been waiting for, for over four years. They pull away, but keep their foreheads touching, just staring into each other's eyes.

Brooke: I love you Lucas Scott. I always have. You took my heart in high school and never gave it back.

Luke: I love you too Brooke Davis. My pretty girl. You have always had my heart too.

He gives her a quick kiss and they settle into each other's arms. They still had another 3 hours of their flight. They spent 2 hours re-hashing their past and coming to the understanding that they loved each other and they love each other to this day even more than they did back then.

Brooke: Hey broody…?

Lucas: yeah pretty girl?

Brooke: Do you ever think about that night in New York?

Luke: Always. Ever since that day, I always thought about our future together. Two boys and a girl.

Brooke: Summers at the beach house and winters in the South of France. Baking for little league games while you coached.

Luke: Just as long as we were together. Nothing else mattered. You know when you brought Angie to my house that one night; I couldn't help, but think of that night in New York. We had our one girl now all we needed was the two boys. When you fell asleep in my arms with Angie between us, I couldn't help but feel we were a family.

Brooke: You're right. That night I felt so at ease and at peace. It felt natural. It felt as if I could do that every day for the rest of our lives.

Luke: mmm.. sounds amazing.

For the rest of the flight the two fell asleep in each other arms until they heard "Hello passengers. Welcome to Las Vegas. We will be arriving in about 10 minutes. Please fasten your seat belts. We will arrive shortly." Brooke and Lucas awoke, fastened their seat belts, and snuggled back into each other.
