Lost It For
Chapter 1
"If you have good friends, no matter how much life is sucking , they can make you laugh."
Closing the door behind him. Watching as he looked around.
Then turned to her. And started to speak.
"I'm sorry Peyton." "I obviously interrupted what you have going on here." Lucas said as he looked at her.
"No you didn't." Peyton said as she walked up to him.
"I'm doing nothing but unwinding." "With my music."
"I just got back inside after taking a drive in the Comet."
"I would ask why you showed up here."
"But I can tell by the look on your face."
"It's nothing good and you needed someone to talk to."
"So let's sit down and get comfortable."
"All of our deep conversations."
"Usually have to do with someone we love."
"And by the lack of effort you're making in trying to stop me."
"I would say there is some truth to that."
Peyton said. Looking him in the eyes.
"It's Brooke." Lucas began to say.
"I asked her to marry me." "And she said no."
Lucas said. The remembrance of the finality in her response.
Made him have to close his eyes and take a breath.
Reopening his eyes. As he felt a hand on his.
"I'm sorry Luke." "But knowing Brooke there is a story behind it."
"She's wanted a future with you since high school."
"During the time we dated back then."
"I could tell by a few months in that your heart wasn't in it."
"It had belonged to someone else."
"Remember the state championship game.?"
"I told you to go to her." "And you never looked back."
"You and Brooke are made for each other."
"Even if at a time I would have tried to fight against that."
"I know now that I would lose." "I love her and you."
"If you think that there is a chance."
"To save things between the both of you."
"Then go and if not then you can stay anyway." Peyton said.
Smiling at him. As he looked up at her.
"Honestly I can't face her right now."
"The rejection and hurt pride." "Along with everything else going on."
"My place is here." "She should go to New York."
Lucas said back to her.
"Wait what do you mean.?"
"Everything else you have going on.?" Peyton asked curious.
His face changed. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"My mom." Lucas said. His voice breaking under the weight of it all.
...
New York
Stepping out in front of the crowd of fans. Brooke began to speak.
"Thank you all so much." "For being here and your support."
"Clothes over bros New York." "Has been a dream of mine."
"And thanks to you all it's coming true." Brooke said smiling.
Looking out at the crowd. A person is the crowd raised their hand.
"Yes sir." Brooke said.
"Ms. Davis have you kept in touch with people from your past.?"
The man asked.
"Sure that is interesting question."
"Why do you ask.?"
Brooke said.
As the man started to walk forward.
"Because the last time we saw each other."
"Was when I left town."
The man said.
Looking up at her.
"Jake."
Brooke said surprised.
As she hugged him.
The crowd erupting in talk and oohs and ahhs.
The cameras flashing at every turn.
