Brooke Davis. Fashion queen of the world. Daughter of Victoria Davis. Best friend to Peyton Sawyer. On the outside, it looks like Brooke has it all. The looks. The friends. Hell, even the job. But inside Brooke is just like any other human. She's hurting, wishing that someone could take her away from it all. Wishing that she found someone that knew the real her. Form what everyone thought Brooke was perfect and she had all the love and affection a girl could ever want. But no one knew it wasn't true. No one knew that the only reason her mother loved her because she owned a billion dollar company. And Victoria Davis would do anything for money. Brooke just wished someone knew. And she knew that someone did know. The only person she could not have.

So as she sits in that gym and Lindsay shows off her ring all Brooke can do is smile and tell her how gorgeous it is and how's she's lucky to have Lucas. And when Haley tells them she left her camera in her classroom Brooke jumps at the chance to leave the gym. She doesn't want to sit there and watch Lindsay and Lucas make googly eyes at eachother. Because he's supposed to do that to her. He's supposed to look at her with those looks of love and passion. Not Peyton. And sure as hell not Lindsay.

So, as she sits in that library and watch her two friends fight over the man who has broken her heart more than once but still somehow has Brooke under his spell. She keeps her mouth shut when Lindsay goes on about being envious of Peyton. She doesn't lash out when Lindsay says that Lucas' book was a love letter to Peyton. She holds her tongue when Lindsay talks about the shooting. Because all at that moment she wants to do is yell it's supposed to be her. She wants to tell Lindsay that she doesn't know what she's talking about because it was her that Lucas was in love with the day of the shooting and not Peyton. It was always supposed to be her. But she had given that up a long time ago and everyday she regretted it even more.

And after they get out of the library she watches from the corner as Lucas kisses Lindsay's forehead and whispers he loves her. Brooke watches silently wishing that could be her. And she realized it once was. She was once the person he would kiss and tell he loves her to. But she had made a stupid mistake and dumped him. And as he takes Lindsay's hand in his and gives her a lingering kiss on the lips a tear slips down Brooke's cheek. That was supposed to be her. He was supposed to be kissing her. But she gave that up a long time ago.

When Brooke returns home that night she cries in her bed. She doesn't sleep. She just cries. And she realizes that he was the one. He was the one who was supposed to take her away from it all. He was supposed to save her. But she gave that a long time ago over a stupid mistake.

So for now she'll remain Brooke Davis. Fashion queen of the world. Daughter to Victoria Davis. Best friend to Peyton Sawyer. And secretly in love with the only man that made her regret her past.

Because she gave that up a long time ago over a stupid mistake.
