Brooke just couldn't believe that someone how or another Jamie, her five year old godson, was so smart. How was it possible?
It was becoming darker and darker, and Brooke was still sitting at the same spot on the bench by the church. No one was around. She was alone. Exactly how she wanted it to be. She decided she might as well go ahead and head to the reception. She got in her car and drove off.
When she arrived at the reception, everyone was giving their speeches. Nathan was finishing his up "So Luke whenever you remember times gone by, just know….I'll be there." Nathan took a sip of his champagne as so did everyone else. His had nothing to do with Lindsey, Brooke thought.
Peyton stood up…This would be interesting, Brooke thought to herself. "………Congratulations…" Peyton chugged her whole glass of champagne. Everyone looked around in shock, and all took a drink.
Haley stood up, and smiled as to apologize on Peyton's behalf. "So umm………I've known Lucas for a very very very long time. And I've known Lindsey not as long, but long enough, and I know that Lucas had some very tough walls around his heart but you know what they say 'The higher you build the walls around your heart, the harder you fall when someone tears them down.'…So here's to Lucas and Lindsey, and to a very long life together." Haley smiled, and drank her champagne.
Brooke stood up, she was asked to give one, in honor of being one of Lucas's best friends. But she didn't write one down on little note cards, it was going to come from her heart. "Umm……hi…I'm Brooke…umm, I was asked to give a toast tonight for one of my dear friends, Lucas, and one of my newer friends, Lindsey. And when I was asked, I immediately thought "no"…… I hate giving important speeches, or toasts in front of people. But then I remembered it was Lucas who helped me write my speech to run for student council president. So I said 'yes'…And I don't really know what to say about two people who have formed a couple, that I know nothing about, so I'm gonna say this 'Relationships are very simple. There are only two things that can happen. You either get married or your break up.' thanks goodness you guys got the first one. To Lucas and Lindsey everyone. May happiness be stored upon them, and let find the love they both need and want in each other." Brooke smiled a fake smile, took a sip or champagne, set it down, and walked out the door. No one had toasted. They were all too moved by Brooke's toast. It was incredible. It was from the heart. The whole thing. Finally after a moment everyone took a sip. Lucas sat there shocked. Lindsey had tears in her eyes, maybe she had finally made friends, with Brooke.
The music started playing and Lindsey went to socialize, but Lucas had more important plans. He was going to go find Brooke. He snuck away as sneaky as he could be without getting caught. And found Brooke sitting out by the ocean. Where Brooke had went after the Winter Formal. Where he had once told her he was the guy for her. Everything had changed since then. It had been 6 years ago that they had felt that strongly for one another.
He sat down next to her. Brooke didn't say anything she sat there. Shocked. Why would Lucas come and find her. Especially on his wedding night. "Brooke…" He started. But never got to finish. "Nothings…gonna change the way I feel,…..and you know that……I……I still love you."….
Lucas gets up to turn away. "Please don't turn your back……..I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you." Brooke sighs. "But you don't understand, because we're not together now. And I want to be with you, but you want her."
