Lucas looked at his bride, and felt a little resentment towards her. He wasn't quite sure why. Maybe it was because it hurt Brooke so bad? Or maybe because she just didn't make him smile like Brooke? Or maybe, just maybe, because she wasn't Brooke at all.

Lucas went to the bar and ordered a shot of vodka. He was going to need to drink something to be able to survive this night any longer. He downed the whole shot and looked over to see his mom sitting there. It shocked him. "Hey mom. You scared me." She smiled then looked at his empty shot glass sitting in his hand. She nodded her head in that direction. Lucas looked at it. "Oh. Nothing." he said sitting it down, and sitting down next to her.

"Lucas, it's not my job to get involved in your life, or for this matter your love life. But I'm gonna say what I'm gonna say, then leave. 'You need to be happy.' You need to be happy with whatever you do. Whether you're a janitor or an author, you need to be happy. Whether you have no kids or a bunch, you need to be happy. And don't do something that's gonna make you unhappy, cause then your gonna live your life miserable, and wishing you could have changed something you couldn't have changed. And if you ever find yourself unhappy, and just trying to get through life, then you need to change it. Right then, you need to fix what is making you so unhappy, and get happy. Cause in the end your unhappiness is not only gonna effect just you, but everyone around you, and Lucas I know you have such a great heart that you couldn't stand to hurt the people you care about, so don't be unhappy." Karen looked at her son as serious and sentimental as she could be at one time. She placed her hand on his, and then got up and walked away.

Lindsey walked over. "Hey honey?" She asked. Lucas snapped out of his train of thought. "Yeah?" He answered. "I want you to dance with Brooke please?" Lucas looked confused. "What?" He asked her shocked. "Well I mean, I know what your guys friendship means to her, and I don't want her to think that sense we're together now that you can't be friends. So dance with her, and let her know, that everything's gonna be fine." Lindsey said. She kissed him on the cheek then left.

Lucas looked around the very crowed reception hall to look for Brooke. She was sitting with Nathan, Haley, and Peyton. Oh lovely. He thought.

He walked over to her. "Brooke?" He asked. Brooke looked up at him "Can I have this dance?" He asked.

"I wanted you to fight for me! I wanted you to say that there was no one else you could ever be with and that you'd rather be alone then without me." - Brooke Davis
