Peyton was sat in her car running her fingers through the silky material she held in her hand,

her dress once beautiful was now covered in dust and mud she felt like it was the perfect metaphor for her and Lucas's relationship.

She had decided that she had suffered enough heartache and embarrassment for one day and took off from the church as soon as Lucas's back was turned she ran through the grass and the rain to find her car.

Lucas followed her screaming that they had to talk that he wanted to talk Peyton laughed bitterly he wanted to talk….. Now he wanted to talk why not yesterday?

Peyton thought back to that morning as she excitedly put on her wedding dress and nervously watched the clock tick and as every minute went by she became more and more elated she just couldn't wait to be Mrs Lucas Scott.

Its funny how things can change in a matter of hours isn't it she thought as the tears rolled down her face and fell onto her ruined dress.

She remembered pulling down the zipper on the bag which held her dress she remembered seeing it for the first time and all she could think about was what she would tell her and Lucas's daughter about how amazing their wedding was.

Lucas would boast about his wedding speech and Peyton would blush as Lucas described how beautiful she looked and how no one else could compare to her.

But none of that would ever happen ever because Lucas didnt love Peyton maybe he never had and all the hopes and dreams Peyton had about the future of the Scott family were washed away with the rain there would be no wedding no daughter and no family.

She looked at herself in the mirror noticing how her tear stained face was puffy and her make up had run so she was almost unrecognisable and in that moment she saw Brooke Davis her best friend.

The one who said she was happy for her, the one who agreed to be her maid of honour the one who had always accepted her and Lucas as an inevitability but something must have happened between Lucas and Brooke to make him change his mind like that he couldn't have just woke up that morning and decided he loved Brooke could he?

These questions and more were swimming around Peyton's mind she knew she could not rest until she knew the answers, had Brooke been lying all along?

Did she still love Lucas had she told him that she did and confused him Peyton had to know so without a second thought Peyton turned the car around and headed for her former friends house.

Lucas Scott sat in the church with his head in his hands nursing his face and his pride.

She didn't want him he couldn't believe it but it must be true she just didn't want him anymore and who could blame her he thought as he pulled on his split lip he wanted to be angry at Nathan for what he said.

He knew deep in his heart that he was nothing like Dan, yes he had made mistakes but he never meant to hurt anyone and he was incredibly sorry he wanted to shout at Nathan and tell him he had no right saying that he wanted to shake him and scream and yell and be angry

But he just couldn't find the strength to be anything but devastated he had lost everything in the space of a few hours he had lost all of his friends even his Hayley had told him she never wanted to see him again

Peyton felt exactly the same only stronger and it hurt him to know she truly hated him he may not have loved her in the same way as he did Brooke but he still cared deeply about her.

And now she was gone from his life, he lost her too she despised him,

but most of all he had lost the one person he had fought to keep his Pretty girl his Brooke he had tried to fight for Brooke Davis but it had just been too late………. story of his life.

He knew he could not just sit there feeling sorry for himself he had to see her to apologise for what he had done to her the pain he had caused her

He couldn't let it end like this he couldnt let the years of friendship and love just disapear like it never even happened he stood up and walked out of the church and headed for the one place he knew he shouldn't go but felt like he just couldn't leave it like this he had to see her and explain for the last time.

Brooke held onto Julian as she sobbed into his shirt "Brooke maybe I should go change this was an expensive shirt you know!"

Brooke knew he was trying to make her smile but she couldn't bring herself to do anything but cry ever since she had got home all she had done was cry and then pant from too much crying then cry again.

Julian had sat by her patiently holding her hand until it had become to much for him and he had to hold her and try to make the pain go away she had held on so tight for hours until all of a sudden she stopped and became still Julian hesitated before he spoke.

"Brooke…….. are you ok now?" Brooke buried her head into his shoulder and muttered a reply Julian laughed the laugh that always made her go weak "Brooke I really have no idea what you just said!"

Brooke slowly lifted up her head using her hand to furiously wipe the tears off of her face and smiled Julian's favourite crooked grin "I said producer boy maybe we should go have our party now you know the pref……"

Brooke was stopped as Julian's soft kiss landed on her open mouth he kissed her like he had not seen her for a thousand years delicately and ardently he held onto her like she was his life support his reason for living.

Because of course she was and at a more appropiate time he would tell her that and more he slowly pulled away to look into her eyes the ones which he could read so easily he could see the fear and sadness she was experiencing mixed with the emotions she had for Julian.

He pulled her close and kissed her eyelids before he bent to whisper in her ear "Ferably without our clothes." Brooke smiled and kissed him again as the kiss was beginning to get more desperate the two of them started to shed their clothes

they heard a knock at the door Brooke pulled away and looked at Julian fear written on her face "Lucas!" Julian pulled Brooke into his arms and kissed her once on the forehead

"Don't worry Brooke he is not getting in here I'll protect you it might now be him you know. I'll go see." Brooke watched as Julian opened the door wide Julian looked at the person stood on the doorstep in shock and surprise.

As Brooke made her way over to the door way she gasped at the person stood in front of her "What are you doing here?"
