Hear You Me
--
There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go.
I never said thank you for that.
"Hey it's me…" He pauses. "Look, I'm at the airport and I've got two tickets to Las Vegas. Do you want to get married tonight?"
He hears a sharp intake of breath on the other line, making his heart beat faster than it already is.
"Um…Luke, you do know this is Brooke right?" Before Lucas gets a chance to respond, Brooke is already talking again, "Hold on, I'll get Peyton," Brooke covers the phone with a hand about to call out Peyton's name, but Lucas stops her.
I thought I might get one more chance.
"No! Brooke!" He takes a deep breath. "I'm not calling for Peyton."
"Then…who are you calling for?" She asks confused.
"You," He tells her calmly.
She starts to laugh thinking that it was some kind of joke, but it soon fades out when she doesn't hear him laugh with her. "What?" She asks in a soft whisper. "Lucas, are you serious?"
"I am dead serious Brooke," He says into the phone.
"But…what about Lindsey? The girl you almost married? Or-or Peyton? You know the girl who you claimed to love and wrote a whole book about? What about them?" Brooke asks as tears cloud her vision.
What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
"They will always have a special place in my heart and I do love them very much so, but not one of them makes me feel the way you do Brooke." He tells her. "When I'm with you it's like the whole world stops and it's only you and me here on this planet ;together. When I'm with you, nothing else matters."
"Luke…" She whispers so softly. "We can't do this."
"Brooke, we can. These past few months with you and Angie have been amazing, you know I'm right. There's no denying that you feel the same way I do," Lucas says.
"Lucas…"
"Tell me I'm wrong Brooke." He challenges her. He doesn't hear anything except for the sob that leaves her mouth. "See, you can't. We belong together. Don't you see, you are my comet Brooke, not Peyton. It has always been you."
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
May angels lead you in.
"Luke, Peyton is my best friend and she loves you so much, do you have any idea how much this would crush her? I can't and won't do this to her. I'm sorry." She tells him.
"Well then, I guess it's a good thing Peyton is with Jake then," He smirks.
"What?" She asks more confused then ever.
"Yeah, when I went over to the studio today to see her, she was talking to Mia on the phone and apparently Mia met someone on tour that knew her and it turns out that, that person was Jake," He smiles. "She's on her way up there now as we speak."
"Oh my god," Brooke says.
They stay quiet for a few seconds until Lucas decides to break the silence. "So what do you say?" He asks.
"I-I honestly don't know Lucas." She tells him. "I'm sorry."
Lucas lowers his head closing his eyes. "It's okay. It's alright. I understand. If you change your mind, you know where to find me. The flight leaves in an hour." He doesn't need to see her knowing that she's nodding her head. "I love you pretty girl." And then Lucas hangs up the phone.
"Bye," She whispers to no one. She remains on the couch in silence. Suddenly her phone rings causing her to jump slightly.
Hear you me my friends.
"Hello?" She answers.
"Hey B.Davis," The voice on the other line greets.
"Hey P.Saywer," Brooke says while wiping away her tears.
"What's this I hear about you not going to Vegas with a certain broody blonde that we both know," Peyton smiles.
"How did you-"
"Luke called." Peyton sighs. "Brooke, you are my best friend and I want to see you happy… and the only time I have ever seen you truly happy, is with Lucas."
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
"But Peyt, I can't do that to you," She cries.
"Brooke, I am giving you my blessing. I'll admit that it might take some time for me to get used to, but I realized something tonight; probably something that I've always known and I remember telling you; Lucas is insanely in love with you." Peyton tells her. "We're not gonna hurt you again."
"Are you sure? Because if you're not-" Brooke starts to say, but is cut off by Peyton.
"I am positive, besides Jake and I want to work things out and try another shot at a relationship."
"That's great Peyton," Brooke smiles for her best friend.
"Thanks. Now go do me and yourself a favor and go be happy."
"Thanks P.Sawyer."
"Anytime B.Davis. Call me later and tell me how everything goes, okay?"
"I will." She smiles. "Love you P.Sawyer."
"I love you too Brooke Davis, now go get your man," Peyton tells her.
"Okay bye," Brooke laughs.
"Later," Peyton smiles hanging up the phone.
So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.
Brooke looks at the clock on the wall and notices that she only has thirty minutes until the plane leaves. She hurries to grab her coat and car keys not thinking or caring about luggage. She races out the door and into her car making her way to Tree Hill Airport.

Hear you me my friends.
Lucas sits nervously waiting for a certain dimpled brunette to come. He looks at his watch and sighs seeing that there is now only twenty minutes until the flight leaves.
"Luke! Lucas!" He hears a familiar voice call out. He turns around to find Brooke making her way through the packed airport and to him.
"You came," He whispers smiling.
"I did," She smiles back softly. He takes a few steps closer to her. "How can we be sure this will work out?" She finally asks after minutes of the two just staring at each other.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
"We don't know." He answers honestly. "But the feeling that I get in the pit of my stomach every time when I'm around you, tells me that everything will be okay."
"But how? How do you know it will?" She asks crossing her arms.
"Because…" He steps in front of her, placing his hands on her hips. "I'm the guy for you Brooke Davis." He whispers so softly. He gently wipes way the tears that slide down her cheeks.
May angels lead you in.
"What if it doesn't work out?" She asks so softly that he almost doesn't hear her.
"Remember back in junior year when Nathan got in that terrible car accident after Haley left?" He asks and she nods. "You came to the hospital because you knew that I needed someone-anyone. You told me that everything was going to be okay and that you were here for me." They smile at the memory. "You were wearing that pink shirt that I love on you so much with a simple pair of jeans and heels-"
May angels lead you in.
And if you were with me tonight,
I'd sing to you just one more time.
"You remember all that?" She asks in a whisper; shocked.
He leans forward whispering in her ear, "I remember everything." She looks into his eyes. "That was the day when I realized that I need you more than I ever needed someone in my whole life. That was the day I realized why I was in love with you."
She offers him a soft smile. "What now?" She asks him.
Lucas smirks as he gets down on one knee and pulls out a ring form his jacket pocket. "Brooke Davis, will you marry me? And we can finally be together now and forever."
She smiles as the tears stream down her face. "Yes, Lucas Scott, I'll marry you!" She tells him.
He smiles brightly sliding the ring onto her freshly polished finger. He stands up pulling her into a long awaited passionate kiss. They pull away smiling at one another.
A song for a heart so big,
god wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends.
"This better not be the Peyton/Lindsey ring." Brooke warns playfully.
Lucas laughs shamefully. "It's not. Take a better look at it."
Brooke looks down at her hand and she gasps. "This is Karen's ring." She looks at him. "Keith gave this to her, but why-"
Lucas takes Brooke's hand into his. "My mom gave me this ring years ago. She told me I had to give it to someone special and that I can see myself building a future with. I saved it all this time hoping that someday I would find that special person to give it too." He explains. "I found that special person Brooke, and that person is you."
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.

Hear you me my friends
"God! I love you Lucas Eugene Scott!" She throws her arms around his neck.
"I love you too Brooke Penelope Davis." They smile before melting into another kiss.
On sleepless roads the sleepless go.
May angels lead you in.
