Chapter 1

Lucas woke up feeling tired. He had a wonderful night with the woman in his arms. Last night, he asked Brooke to marry him and felt like he was the happiest man alive. Lucas was really glad that she had showed up when he asked her to come to Las Vegas with him. After five years of being apart, Lucas and Brooke have found each other again and this time, it's going to last forever.

Lucas looked at Brooke while she was still asleep. She looked really beautiful. As Lucas looked at her, he started to think about all the things he has done to her in high school. He hated himself for hurting her and he hasn't forgiven himself for it. When it comes to Brooke, Lucas doesn't regret anything; however, he regrets hurting her, letting her go and going after Peyton. He never fought for her hard enough. Lucas just gave up too quickly and this made him feel like a failure. The truth is Lucas never loved Peyton. He felt like he had to be with her to get over Brooke but it never worked. When he proposed to Peyton at the hotel, he had one reason why he did it and that was because he found out that Brooke had a guy in her life. Lucas was sad that it wasn't him. He was really jealous and pissed off. He thought proposing to Peyton would probably get her attention and was hoping she would realize she loved him and leave her new boyfriend but he was wrong.

After he broke things off with Peyton, Haley had called him one night, telling him that Brooke and the "new boyfriend" were just rumours. It brought him the biggest smile on his face, knowing that he had the chance to be with her. So when he had a book signing in New York, he planned to visit her. He has never been so nervous in his life. He was kind of worried that he will upset her and hate to mess things up. There was nothing else he could do except see her. If he wanted to be with her, taking a risk to see her was the first step.

When he had gone to see her, she was busy. Lucas couldn't get mad; after all she was a famous fashion designer. After seeing her so stressed out, he decided to see her on her next fashion show. When he first saw her again, she looked more beautiful than ever. He was so glad she was happy with her life but knowing that he wasn't part of it, really made him sad and feel so guilty, but he also wondered how life would be like if Brooke and him had the chance to be together again and build a family. He couldn't help but watch her beautiful smile and he really missed her cute dimples.

---- Flashback ----

"Lucas Eugene Scott," said Brooke, giving him a smile.

"Brooke Penelope Davis. What did I say about saying my middle name in public?" he said, smiling back at her.

As she got closer, she held out her arms, giving him a tight hug. Lucas always loved hugging Brooke. He never complained every time she wanted a hug from him because she fits perfectly in his arms.

"I missed you, Brooke," he said still hugging her.

"I missed you, too. How are you?" she said as she pulled back.

"I've been good. I have been busy with my book signing and I wanted to relax and come see you."

"Congratulations on your book by the way. You've always wanted to be a writer and now you're a best selling author. I'm glad to see you. I haven't seen you or Peyton for a long time now. How come she's not here with you?"

"I guess Haley didn't tell you. Peyton and I broke up two weeks ago."

Brooke gasped, "Oh I'm sorry, Lucas. What happened?"

"Don't be sorry. I proposed to her, but she said no," he said.

"You guys will work it out. Both of you are meant to be."

Lucas hated when people told him Peyton and him are meant to be together because that's not how he felt. When Brooke says it, he wished she was referring to him and her. But he knows Brooke and him are destined to be together.

"To tell you the truth, I really never loved Peyton. I considered her more as a friend that a girlfriend. The only reason why I asked her to marry me was because I found out something that really pissed me off and I guess proposing to her was a way for me to get attention. I realized what I did and I'm sorry about it but I'm really glad that we're over because I hated being in that relationship."

"You looked happy with her though. Everyone saw it and they even said you guys are meant to be together."

"That was the problem. I wasn't following and listening to what my heart wanted me to do and instead I followed what everyone said. So when you pushed me into being with Peyton, I went for it. I was really upset that you have given up on us, so I chose to be with Peyton even though I didn't love her. Brooke, I really regret being with Peyton. If I had the chance to change that, I would do anything to be with you again," he said, trying to hold her hands but she refused.

"Lucas…don't. I'm sorry. I can't do this right now. I got to go," she said and started to walk away."

"I love you pretty girl," he said but she didn't look back or say anything. He had let her go again.
