I Still Miss You
Chapter 2 - Singing for you
When Brooke and Kirsten got home from Harbour, Brooke went to the guest room, because she would be living in there since Ryan already lives in the pool house. Brooke went straight into the bathroom and turned on the shower. When Brooke needed to cry, she would take shower, she always felt peaceful. After her long shower, Brooke went to find Sandy in the kitchen.
"Hello Brooke, how have you been?"
"I'm ok, thanks Sandy."
"Seth, told me about the club tonight. I thought those tickets were impossible to get."
"I've got friends in high places, I guest." Brooke said starting to walk out the room.
"By the way, Joe called, saying that they are looking forward to you singing tonight and that he hasn't told you Lucas about tonight. Brooke what's going on?" Sandy asked walking up to Brooke.
Brooke turned round with tears in her eyes, "Please don't tell Kirsten."
"Come here Brooke," Sandy opened his arms up for a hug. Sandy then guided Brooke into the living room. They both say on the sofa.
"Brooke, you can tell me what's wrong? I wouldn't tell Kirsten, if you don't want me too." Brooke and Sandy have always been close; Sandy was always more like a friend than a brother in-law.
"I'm married," Brooke said in a whisper.
"What? Did you just say you're married?"
"Yes" letting the tears flow from her eyes.
"Oh, Brooke" Sandy said giving Brooke a hug.
"His name is Lucas Scott, we're been married for 11 months but for 5 of those months, he was on tour with band."
"Ravens," Sandy said finding the connection.
Brooke nodded, "I miss him, I miss him so much. I'm still in love with him."
"Does your dad know?" Sandy knew that Brooke and Richardare very close.
"Yes in North Carolina, you need to have your parent's permission to get married at the age of 16," Brooke explained. Richarddidn't like the idea of his 16 years old daughter getting married, but he knew they were in love and that Brooke had to make her own mistakes.
"Brooke do you want to see him?" Sandy asked not really wanting to know the answer.
"I don't know. I miss him so much, but a part of me that wants to kill him for leaving me behind."
"Look Brooke, your amazing person and you should follow your heart. I'll be here for you." Sandy said hugging Brooke one more time.
"Thanks Sandy, I'm going to get ready for tonight." Brooke said walking upstairs to get ready for the night ahead. She was to sing and that scared the hell out of her.
Brooke finished getting ready for the party. She talked to Joe about her performance, and Sandy came to check on her and promised not to tell Kirsten anything. She was wearing a black halter top and a denim skirt, with black flats, she looked simple and Brooke liked it that way. Brooke had changed a lot since Lucas last saw her, she used to a party girl but not anymore.
Brooke heard a knock on the front door and heard Ryan yell her downstairs. She looked in the mirror one last time, 'here it goes' she thought, putting on her best fake smile.
When Brooke got downstairs, she was welcomed by her nephew's girlfriends.
"Hi, I'm Summer. I'm Seth's girlfriend. Thank you so much for the tickets for tonight, I just love this band and the lead singer is so hot," Summer said in one breath, Brooke couldn't help but laugh at her comment about Lucas.
"Yeah, hi, I'm Marissa. I'm Ryan's girlfriend. How did you get the tickets for tonight?" Marissa asked, she thought it was strange that Brooke could get these tickets so easily when they have been sold out for weeks.
"Um..,"
"Leave the girl, just be happy your going," said Sandy, Brooke remembered to thank Sandy later.
"Well its time to go, are we all going to ride together?" Ryan asked.
"Oh, Brooke, I forgot to tell, your car got delivered it's in the drive way," Sandy told, Brooke lips turned into a huge smile, but not a dimple smile, she never had one since Lucas left.
Brooke quickly walked outside to find her black convertible on the drive way.
"Wow Brooke, amazing car, isn't this model hard to find?"
"Yeah, a friend fixed it up for me," the true was that Lucas found and fixed it up for her as a wedding present, Brooke loved that car and took it everywhere with her.
"Well, guys why don't you drive in the jeep and drive in my car," Brooke suggested she really didn't want to be in a car full of couples, and she had to work on her singing.
"If your sure Brooke? Just follow us ok?" Seth told Brooke.
Brooke nodded and walked to her car, she took a moment to just sit in her car, she missed him so much and tonight she was she going to see him tonight and that scared the hell out of her.
The drive to the Bait Shop was short and when she arrived, she was shocked by the number of people outside wanting to see the band. Brooke smiled at the thought of Lucas singing, she remembered when Lucas used to sing to her and only her.
Brooke met up with the gang, they looked really happy and in love, she misses that. The gang made their way to the front doors.
"Name?" a big bouncer asked.
"Brooke Scott," Brooke said not wanting anyone to notice. Lucky the group were to busy talking to each other to notice.
"Oh yes, Joe wanted me to tell you to make you way backstage, just before the performance begins" the bouncer added and smiled, before letting the group inside.
Brooke made excuse to the leave the group and went backstage just before she went to perform. She tried hard to not let anyone notice her. Brooke quickly found Joe, and Joe went on stage to announce Brooke.
"Hello California, you looking forward to seeing Ravens?" loud cheers could be heard, "but first we have the talented Brooke Scott, to sing for you." Brooke walked on stage and could see everyone looking at her, she felt so nervous, but she had to do this.
All Brooke had was a guitar that Lucas gave her; she loved that guitar and could never part with it. Brooke started to play.
Why do they make it hard to love you
Why can't they even start to try
Cuz now I feel a bridge is burning, oh
And all the smoke is in my eyes
Oh, oh
I realize I never let them know me
I always want to be right
Took a mistake to really show me, oh
Exactly what they were like
I've been wrong but I've been changing
I've been wonderin' what to do
Here I am alone and waiting
For you
Why do I try to make them happy
Why am I always playing nice
It isn't easy trying to tell you, oh
Exactly what is on my mind
I've been wrong but I've been changing
I've been wondering what to do
Here I am alone and waiting
For you
I've been wrong but I've been waiting
For you
I've been wrong but I've been changing
I've been wonderin' what to do
Here I am alone and waiting
Waiting
For you
The audience started to clapped; she could see her nephews smile.
As soon as Lucas heard Brooke's name, he ran to the stage and saw Brooke, his Pretty Girl, his wife. He looked at his hand and saw the missing wedding ring, and then he looked at Brooke's hand she had her engagement ring and wedding band on. She looked as beautiful as ever.
"Thank you, I love to announce the amazing band, Ravens," Brooke quickly walked off stage in the other direction, to avoid Lucas.
"I wrote this song for my pretty girl, I want to say I love you and miss you," when Lucas said this to Brooke and meet her eyes. Brooke stayed at the side of the stage, letting the tears fall from her eyes.
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it any where
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think i might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if its just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Lucas sang a few more songs, while Brooke made her way to the bar. Although she wouldn't drink any alcohol, she never drank alcohol anymore. The group made his way to Brooke.
"Oh my god, Brooke, I didn't know you could sing" Seth said smiling. Brooke noticed the band going backstage.
"My little joy in life," Brooke said hugging Seth, she missed Seth.
A guy from backstage walked up to the group and asked "Mr. Scott would like to invite you backstage."
"That's awesome," Summer said walking up to the guy and started to follow him backstage.
The guy noticed that Brooke wasn't following him, he went up to her and asked "Miss, are you coming?"
"No, you can tell Lucas if he wants to see me than he can come out here and ask me himself." Brooke replied walking off.
She got in her car and went back to the house.
"Where's Brooke?" Lucas asked the stage hand.
"I'm sorry Lucas, she said you had to ask her yourself and than she ran off." Lucas sat down, and went to his guitar case and saw his wedding ring. He didn't wear it anymore because he felt it wasn't right to wear, when he left. He missed Brooke so much, why did he leave?
