Never Be Replaced
A/N: This story is really just for fun. I really wanted to write again, and I'm basically writing off the top of my head. I hope you guys like it. This is a Brucas story, but it has nothing to do with the One Tree Hill plot. Please read and review.
Chapter One: Summer Love
It was the summer of 2006 when a beautiful love formed between two amazing people, Lucas Scott, and Broke Davis. They both just finished high school and met in the beginning of summer. Lucas arrived in Tree Hill for a vacation with his parents, and they both met at the beach where Brooke was having a party with her friends. They started off good friends and with time they became lovers. Lucas usually described Brooke as the most beautiful person he has ever met, on the outside and inside. And Brooke usually said, "I've never really knew what love was until I met Lucas," when she introduced him.
They're love was undeniable. It was perfect. They were together most of the time and when they weren't together, they'd wish they were.
They shared their first kiss about a month after they started seeing each other. It was on the beach where they first met. It was beautiful. It was under the moonlight, and it was the first time they said 'I love you' to each other. They both treasured their relationship, and though that one day it would progress to something more, maybe even marriage.
But they were too focused on the future, they weren't thinking about the present. It was August 18, Lucas got the news that he was going to New York the next week. Brooke was crushed when she heard the news. It was the first she cried in their relationship. Lucas held her in his arms while she cried, and he also shed some of the tears.
The whole week, they spent every waking moment together. They created a scrapbook of all their memories together. The sand at the beach, the first rose he ever given to her, the necklace, and pictures of them together. But no matter how happy they seemed, it seemed like their relationship was falling apart.
The night before he left, they spent it at the beach. They heard the waves crash against the rocks, and felt the wind blow through their hair. They spent it in each other's arms.
"What if you don't come back?" Brooke asked as their finger intertwined with each other.
"And miss out being with you. Not a chance." Lucas said kissing her head.
"I'm serious Lucas. I mean what if you love it over there in New York, and forget all about me?"
"I can never forget my first real love. Brooke you don't have to worry, I'll come back."
Lucas and Brooke sighed. She loved the way his arms held her. She'd always feel safe, and comforted, like nothing could ever happen to them. She didn't know how she'd go on without seeing him everyday.
"Before I forget, I got something for you." Lucas said reaching into his bag.
Brooke got out of his grip, and now they were sitting face to face. "What is it?"
He got out a tiny box, and opened it. It was ring. "Brooke," he paused. "I love more than I loved anybody in my life, and I wanna give this to you as a sign of this love. Brooke, I know things are hard with me leaving, but I will come back. And when I'm gone, you're gonna wear this ring, and you're gonna feel how much I love you. It's gonna be like I never left."
Brooke sat there with tears in her eyes. Lucas put the ring on her right ring finger. She threw her arms around him and whispered, "I Love You." Lucas smiled as a tear fell upon his cheek. "I love you too," Lucas replied. He knew that would probably be the last time he would say it 'til he gets back. They spent the rest of the night in each other's arms.
The next morning, Brooke woke up. She went downstairs and opened the door to get the newspaper. She found a letter from Lucas. She hurried into her house, and opened the letter with tears going down her face:
My Dearest Brooke,
If you're reading this, it means I already left. I wanted to say goodbye before I left, but I knew that if I did, I wouldn't be able to leave. I'd give anything to see your beautiful face again. To see your eyes, your red lips. To feel your hair again. To feel you in my arms once again. Brooke covered her mouth as she sobbed while reading the rest of the letter. I can't believe it will be one year 'til I get back, but I just wanted to let you know how much I love you. And that I'll be thinking about you everyday. You're gonna be my first thought in the morning, and last at night. Brooke, I love you.
Yours forever,
Lucas Scott
Brooke put the letter aside, and wiped her eyes. She knew how much he loved her, and hoped that he knew how much she loved him. She took the card and walked to her room. She put it into a box which held the scrapbook. She smiled as she remembered the good times they shared, knowing that it would be a matter of time 'til they see each other once again.
