Chapter 4- Calling All Angels
Lucas ran down the hallway as fast as he could. It wasn't long until he heard sobbing come from an empty classroom with its door slightly open. He knew right away that Brooke would be in there. Lucas slowly walked into the classroom so he wouldn't scare her. He stopped after a couple steps into the classroom, it broke his heart to see Brooke cry. It hurt to see that sight especially knowing that he might have cause her to cry.
"Hey Pretty Girl… what's wrong?" Lucas said in a soft tone and stepping in a little closer to Brooke.
Brooke looked up noticing the tone of the voice and recognizing the nickname and quickly tried to wipe her tears away and control her sobbing. "Wh.… what are you do…doing here… Lu… Luke. You can't… be…here." She managed to say those words with continuous pausing due to her crying.
"I came after you to see if you were ok. You kinda ran out of the class unexpectedly. What's wrong Brooke? Did I do something?" Lucas realized what he asked was pretty stupid and he already knew the answer to his own question. Something was wrong with Brooke, and he knew that he was the reason why.
Brooke let out a dry laugh. She couldn't believe what he had just asked. Or actually it shouldn't have been a surprise to her that he said something like that. That boy didn't really seem to know what he was doing or what he really wanted. Brooke looked at Lucas then looked to the side. "I think you already know the answer to those questions." And Brooke was right. He did know the answers those questions. However Lucas might be just trying to put them in the past and Brooke was too, but she just wasn't ready.
Brooke faced Lucas with a serious look on her face. "Lucas not everything is about you. Regardless of whether you realized what you want or what you're gonna do about it there are other people around you. And you have to consider what they are thinking or feeling too. As much as I'd like to believe your words and what you're trying to do in order to prove to me or whatever, history is on my side. And that history is a BIG part of why things are the way they are now. You can't just expect me to let go and forget about what happened and all the things you've done… and all of those times that I was hurt and heartbroken. And believe me when say that I was hurt and heartbroken I'm telling the damn truth, 'cuz you know that I never gave a rat's ass about who I dated before."
Tears started to form in Brooke's eyes once again but she fought them back as hard as she could. Lucas was blown away by all the things she just said. He had never seen someone look or sound as hurt as Brooke Davis just had. With all the things Lucas had done, you would think Brooke would be more mad, but no. There was not a hint of a mad look or voice in Brooke Davis at that moment. Just pain and sorrow.
"Brooke, I'm sorry. I don't know what else I could say to make things better. I wish I could take back all the things I've done to hurt you but I can't. You may not be able to forget all the things that happened… but couldn't you at least forgive?" Lucas looked at Brooke with the most pleading and desperate blue eyes. There was nothing more he wanted than to have Brooke back again. But this discussion had really knocked some sense into him about how badly he hurt Brooke.
Brooke shook her head from side to side. "I'd like to think I could, and I wish I could. But I can't forgive until I let go and get over the past. I need to move on and I so badly want to move on from what happened in order for things to go back to normal. And to do that, I have to let you go and move on. I can't do this anymore Luke… You and me… we're done. I can't change the past and neither can you, I'm not saying I regret being with you. It's just things happen for a reason right?"
Brooke gave a weak smile and with that, she headed out the door. Lucas followed her out. He said out loud, "So that's it? You're just gonna give up on us! Brooke I'm fighting like hell for you but you're just giving up on me? That's just great Brooke, I can't believe you." Lucas looked at her with such disappointment.
Brooke felt so hurt when he had said those words and looked at her with disappointment. Having to see disappointment in the eyes of people she cared about was the worst thing for Brooke Davis. But she had to let him know something. "That's bullshit Lucas! Because I fought and fought until all hell broke loose to get us back together! And I realized that at some point the battle had to end, and you made that loud and clear when you were with Peyton. That was that, I'm all out Lucas. I don't have any more ammunition left to fight in the battle, I don't have anymore strength left in me. So don't you dare! Don't you dare tell me that I just gave up on us because as far as I'm concerned, I'm practically dead right now. You should ask Peyton about it, she should know something."
"What?!?" Lucas said a little louder than he had meant to.
That was when Whitey appeared. "What in the hell is going on out here! There are classes going on incase you two haven't noticed while discussing your personal issues! Now that's detention for the two of you."
"Coach I was just talking to her." Lucas argued
"No more like yelling at the top of your lungs. Make that detention to two for talking back to a teacher. Do you want to keep on going with the detention slips Scott, Ms. Davis?" he looked at them making sure they understood. Lucas and Brooke both shook their heads no. "Well good. Now get your asses back to class."
"No I can't." said Brooke, then running off into the girl's bathroom.
"Ms. Davis get your ass back here now!" and as soon as Whitey said that, the bell rang marking the end of class as the students came pouring out of the classrooms.
Lucas was just so frustrated with himself and Brooke. He slammed his fist on the wall, mumbling "Dammit!"
A/N: Ok I know things don't seem to be looking up for Brucas but it will, little by little. And don't forget about the letter. ooohh what do you think Peyton's gonna do with it? lol and coming up in the story will be Naley and more Brachel friendship, Baley friendship, and i'm maybe thinking of Breyton friendship ( not exactly sure yet). Keep those reviews coming :)
