Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill.


"What?" Brooke uttered out in shock.

"Will you marry me?" Ryan asked. Brooke eyes widened. Her heart raced as her head felt weak. What? She ran her hands on her lips. She thought about the kiss with the boy she loved. "Brooke," Ryan said, snapping her back into reality.

"Yes," Brooke said. Ryan slid the gorgeous rock on her finger and hugged her. Brooke cried, not tears of joy, but tears of confusion. She loved them both. But she always knew, Lucas was her one and only. Had she said yes for the security and the comfort? Was it the past that pained her to say yes? Gosh, this was harder than she thought.

"I can't believe we are gonna get married," Ryan said happily. Brooke exhaled sharply.

"That makes two of us," Brooke said softly. This was just another huge mistake. She followed Ryan to the car. She was screwed. Happy? Yes. In love? No.


"Hey," Rachel said as she glanced at her friend. Brooke opened her eyes and groaned.

"Hi," Brooke muttered as she sat up.

"Ryan went to play ball with the boys. Brooke, where's the rock?" Rachel screamed.

"Over there," Brooke pointed to a jewelry box.

"Hunny, you know your supposed to wear it," Rachel said as she grabbed it.

"I don't want to," Brooke said. Rachel froze. Her brown eyes fixed to her friends hazel eyes.

"What?!" She said shocked. Brooke smiled.

"I don't want to marry him, and yet, I do," Brooke said.

"Look, I know you and Lucas did more than kiss. But you need to sort out your feelings. Ryan's a terrific guy, he hasn't ever hurt you, Lucas has. Ryan can make you happy, and so can Lucas. Brooke, whatever you do, just know, I am here for you," Rachel said.

"Thanks," Brooke said as she placed the ring on her finger. "How was Richard?" Brooke asked.

"Still handsome and Amy, she's perfect. They want me to stay here," Rachel said softly.

"Rach, you can't, I need you," Brooke said.

"I need my daughter," Rachel said crying. Brooke hugged her.

"You're right and she needs you," Brooke said. This trip had cost her a friend and now, a love. Perfect, she had another week here, what could happen next? She exited the room, leaving her friend to cry alone. She kicked a vase of the table. Fire burned in her eyes. She was so tired of this, life.
