Chapter 2
5 years later…
Five years ago, a bit more than five years actually, you would of thought Peyton would be here beside me, but no. She broke our trust. She broke it by loving a boy. This may sound childish, I know, but yes she broke our friendship by loving a boy. Not just any boy, MY BOY! Senior year was tough, but I made it through alive. Sure, we had a few catfights sometimes, but you see I already slapped her, so I can do it again. I haven't seen her since well…our graduation.
While I went to NYC to pursue my dream of a fashion designer, along with my boyfriend Lucas, she went to some college…what was it…Savannah?! The guy she loved is Lucas. She may still love him but I would say that's pretty desperate. Anyways, now he is my fiancé, eek... and husband-to-be, as I am here getting ready for my wedding along with Tutormom. I know, MOM! Isn't that cool?!
Well after that horrible car crash Naley, Cooper and Rachel had (they are all doing well might I add), Haley got pregnant and had a beautiful daughter Amy Joyce Scott. I got to pick the middle name, heehee. Well anyways, now Amy is four years old and my flower girl. Some other juicy gossip, Haley is three months pregnant. She's expecting another baby!
Talking about babies, Karen's was born a bit earlier than Amy and it is a boy. His name is Kevin Derek Roe and is our ring barrier. I know, how cute!! I swear our wedding is going to be the best. There is no lonely Nathan drunk and no Dan. Yes he is finally gone. He confessed to Keith's death, which was quite shocking to everyone, but then again he is Dan. He is in jail for life, which is pretty strict since most would get away with twenty-five years, but at the same time he also confessed all about the money he ripped off from his company. Since Deb also owned a bit of the place, she was also sentenced to jail, but for only two years. She came out a complete different person. Anyways…
"Are you nervous?" Haley asks Brooke while she arranges her veil.
Haley was so happy to see this day finally come. She had watched, comforted and smiled, throughout the years as she watched Brooke and Lucas both fall in love and overcome obstacles together. She knew that they were lucky. Hell, she knew that she was lucky too, but sometimes she doubted it.
The first few years and the year after her and Nathan had Amy, they were really good. Now, it just seemed like they were falling out of love. She didn't want to think it or believe it but it was already coming faster than she wanted. They would both pretend everything was okay and now they hardly talked. It was enough for Haley to keep her pregnancy from Nathan and for Nathan to leave every now and then, without telling her where he went. He would maybe come back at eleven if she was lucky, or else it would be at around two AM. Haley brought herself out of her thoughts after hearing Brooke's voice.
"-but more because I really don't want to mess this up. You understand?" Brooke says fiddling with her hands and checking if her hair and make-up are okay.
"Um…yea." Haley gives Brooke a fake smile and looks back down, checking if Brooke's dress is okay. "Yes I do. I felt the same way when I married Nathan, but you see everything is going great and I'm sure it's going to go great with Luke and you," Haley says confidently a few seconds later.
"Thanks, that means a lot." Brooke and Haley hug, as Brooke shakes nervously in her arms. "I can't believe I'm getting married today!" Brooke shrieks. Haley is about to say something, but is cut off from someone entering the room.
"Is the bride ready?" says Mr. Davis as he takes a few minutes to look at his daughter. She looked so beautiful. "You look stunning, honey," he says to her and quickly embraces her, hardly giving time for Haley to get out of the way. She sees that they need a little privacy, so she slips out of the room, after giving a quick wave to the bride.
"Darling, I know me and your mother weren't there when you were young, but we are ready to change that. You and Lucas will be so happy together and have such a strong and powerful love that you'll go through everything and anything." He pauses, "I'm not saying it is going to be smooth sailing, but I'm really glad you are getting married to him."
The whole time he was talking, he was looking and pacing around. He turns back to Brooke, and sees her crying. She tries to cover it up by smiling, but it doesn't work. "Oh honey, don't cry." He rubs her back and hands her tissue.
"Thanks," she says with a little laugh. Again, they were disturbed by a knock on the door.
"It's time," Nathan says as he pops his head in her room. "Nice dress."
"Thanks, I designed it myself," she tells him and does a twirl for him to see, proud of her dress. He nods, smiling, and closes the door.
"Come on. Let's get you married," her father says as she turns back to him.
She grabs her flowers and links her arms with her father. The flowers are colorful. Brooke didn't want white flowers, so she had gotten herself pink, orange and yellow ones. She had chosen that, along with the white, would be the color of the wedding. The setting, the flowers, the decorations, everything was to be a variety of the colors. It had taken a lot of work to get the wedding down, even though she wanted a small ceremony.
Brooke can feel herself getting nervous and shaking a little as they both make their way to the door of the hotel, and outside in the backyard, where the wedding would occur. Her father opens the door for her and they both walk slowly and steadily down the path to the alter. Mr. Davis can feel her shaking and so he squeezes her hand to notify her that he was here and that everything would be alright. After what seems like forever, they arrive at the alter and the 'Bridal March' starts playing by the small orchestra they hired.
Brooke's friends and family had never seen such a beautiful Brooke. It's not because of her make-up, dress, and hair, even though that made her just stunning. It's because she looked happy. Lucas had never seen her look happier in his life, which was a relief. He was the happiest he could be, also.
The second Brooke spots Lucas, she stars into his eyes and never looks away. The thought that she was getting married today wouldn't stop running around in her mind, but as long as she had Lucas by her side, she knew she would be okay.
"You look amazing," Lucas whispers as he holds her hands and admires his bride-to-be.
"Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself." She blushes slightly and the priest starts.
"Dearly beloved, we are all gathered here to join Brooke Penelope Davis and Lucas Eugene Scott for eternity." He clears his throat as he continues, "I hate to ask this. It is pretty much pointless, I think, but does anyone object?" He looks up and everyone stays silent, looking around curiously at all the well dressed people. He was about to continue when they hear a voice.
"I object," it says. That person comes out of the shadow and everyone gasps in shock.
