A/N: This literally just fell out of my head and into my computer. I wasn't planning on writing this, it just kinda happened. This is a letter from Brooke to Lucas the morning of the LP wedding. She'll never send it, sadly. She's just cares too much about other people's feelings.

Dear Lucas,

Today you are getting married to my best friend, Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. I honestly don't know what to say to you, or how to say anything at all.

I know what will happen, though. I've prepared myself well.

I will walk confidently into the church. I will help Peyton get ready, tell her words of encouragement. I will wish you luck quickly and tell you that if you ever hurt my best friend, I'll kill you. You'll chuckle your adorable chuckle and tell me that I'm going to change the world someday.

I'll cry when you say "I do" and I'll smile when you kiss Peyton, sealing your lives together forever.

I'll run most of the activities for the party, get very drunk, and end up crying myself to sleep later this evening.

I love you Lucas, and I know you love Peyton. I love her too. You love her so much, it almost breaks my heart. Almost. Too bad it's already broken.

I thought I wouldn't be able to get up this morning. I thought I'd break down completely, again. I was wrong. My façade has become so strong and so protected by my own fear, that it has faded into myself. It is no longer a façade. It is who I am. I have become my own mask; the face of a self-less, supportive person who puts others needs before her own. I can't help it anymore.

You didn't fight for me. You didn't fight for Peyton. You don't seem to fight for anyone, do you Lucas? They all fight for you. So it's my turn now. It's my turn to be a Lucas, to not fight. Maybe, one day far away, you'll realize what you could have fought for.

I'm going to end this letter that you will never see, with a quote of your own.

Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday.

If only I knew that the product of my hard work, my big contribution to the human race, would be the wedding of the girl I love and the boy I would have given everything up for.

I'll always love you, Lucas Scott.

I miss you already. Have a great life with Peyton, she deserves it. Goodbye.

Brooke Penelope Davis
