Hey everyone! Wow I haven't posted a story in the longest time. Well anyways, I've had this story written for a really long time but I never posted it cuz I only had like 2 chapters. But I just wanted to rewrite what happened with Brucas in season 4 cuz I hated how they were in that season. Okay well enjoy!
"I tried to call you…" he said, realizing by the look of Brooke's face that clearly she wasn't happy at the sight she just saw.
"You mean when you weren't hanging out with Peyton?"
"Come on Brooke, you never called me back…"
"Now you know how I feel." She snapped back, she didn't really mean to but all the hurt and anger and rage inside of her caused her to outburst.
"Listen" she continued regaining her composer," I know it's been hard for you lately. Loosing Keith and your heart condition and giving up basketball… I feel like I've been keeping you close to me to try to protect you from those things… Like I'm hanging on to the two of us for you. But not for me."
"I'm SORRY I kissed Peyton! I should have told you…" he seemed tired of having to repeat himself. And the more he said those words, the more the words seemed to lose their true meaning. Sorry can be said and heard in different ways. You can say sorry honestly or in a meaningless way, and it can be heard as an honest sorry or a meaningless one. However in Lucas Scott's case, it was an honest sorry on the way to becoming a meaningless one.
Brooke was tired too; tired of constantly putting up a fight, not just with him and Peyton, but with herself also. She wanted to believe that Lucas would be with her forever and nothing would come between themBut the reality is she had to face the truth at some point before it was too late. Before it was too late to build up the wall to protect what's left of her heart. Before she lost all love inside her and become truly full of all hatred toward those whom she once loved.
"It's not even about that Luke! It's not. …I thought that it was but it's not about her. It's about ME. I love you Lucas."
He smiled at those words "I love you Lucas." That was until she decided to continue and he put on his confused brooding face.
"…And I probably always will… but we go days without having a meaningful conversation, and I used to miss you so much when that happened… but it never seemed like you missed me… And I guess because of it I stopped missing you. I mean, look at today… It shouldn't be like this Luke…"
He tried to listen intently to what she was saying to hear the real reason why she came to break up with him. But it didn't seem like there was a true solid reason. And then came the final words, to end it all.
She spoke calmly and sadly, tears forming and threatening to fall, "I'm sorry… I can't do this anymore…"
And with that, she placed a soft kiss on his forehead then turned to leave. But as she reached the door Lucas called her name.
"Brooke…" he said, feeling that he had to say something before she started to slip away.
Brooke had a feeling she knew what was coming next.
Lucas continued, "I'm…" but he was cut off by her.
"Sorry… yeah I know… Me too" With that she looked at him one last time and walked out the door.
Lucas winced at the sound of the door close. The fact that Brooke knew what he was going to say made his heart ache, but he realized those were the words that he'd said the first time they broke up. Of course that time he had broken up with her instead.
He sighed at the thought of never having the cheerful Brooke always next to him to hold and kiss. Not being able to call her his Pretty Girl… the special bond that they shared was now broken and he wasn't sure if it could ever be fully repaired.
