CHAPTER 10

Brooke walks into the his room and she sees him reaching for some water but he is unable to reach it his face lights up when he sees her

"Luke let me get that for you"said Brooke walking over to the side of his bed and pouring some water into the glass, she sits on the edge of his bed and puts her hand behind his head gently lifting his head so he can take a drink once he does she then lets him put his head back on the pillow

"Thanks pretty girl" smiles Lucas

"Anything for you I'm so glad your okay I was really worried about you. You gave us all a huge scare"said Brooke putting the glass back and sitting on the chair

"Brooke I need to talk to you"

"Its okay Lucas I know. You don't have to say it" said Brooke

"You do?" asked Lucas wondering how she could possibly know what he was going to say. He wondered if Peyton told her about their conversation

"You've told Peyton you love her haven't you? Please don't feel like you need to explain to me actually I would prefer it if you didn't talk to me about this…………..about you and her."replied Brooke

Lucas realizes that Peyton obviously hasn't told her anything .He begins to say something.

"Brooke I……."

She doesn't give him a chance to finish his sentence she has a distant look on her face and doesn't really look at him perhaps she was willing herself on to say something that she wished she didn't have to. She starts to fiddle with her bracelet in an attempt to stop herself looking at him looking at the boy she still loved

"Lucas I hope you've found what you've been looking for and if that's Peyton then……….then I'm happy for you" said Brooke faking a smile she was hurting like hell inside but if he was now with Peyton she wasn't going to tell him her feelings not now if he had confessed his love for Peyton

She stands up and walks towards the window looking outside she saw people going about their everyday life ,a man entering the hospital with the biggest smile on his face and with what looked like a huge cuddly toy under his arm he had obviously had good news ,there was also others going into the hospital that looked not so happy they looked like their world was falling apart she knew how that felt because hers was falling apart too without him without the boy who would forever have her heart. She wondered to herself if those people were experiencing the pain she was feeling right now. Were they breaking on the inside too?

Lucas watched Brooke as she stood at the window he could tell she was lost in her own thoughts but he could also seen the hurt and pain in her face even though she had a smile on her face he could read her like a book he knew she was anything but happy. He could see the tears glistening in her eyes it was the hurt he had inflicted on her and that killed him inside. To watch the girl he loved be upset was bad enough but to know he was the cause of it well he hated himself for that. He wished he could go back in time and make things different and make them better but he knew that wasn't possible to go erase this whole mess but he knew that in this moment he would do all he could to get her back. All that mattered right now was this moment in time she was all that mattered.

"Brooke I love you" admitted Lucas

Brooke turned away from the window to face him she had a look of shock on her face

"What did you say?" asked Brooke who wasn't sure she had heard right

"I love you Brooke" said Lucas the determination could he heard in his voice

"No you don't your with Peyton now. Why are you saying this to me why after everything would you say that? said Brooke in a raised voice.

"I'm not with Peyton and I don't want to be with her"

"Your not But why?" asked Brooke who was still shocked from what he had just told her

"Because I told her that I didn't love her and that I wanted to be with you" replied Lucas

Brooke shakes her head sadly at him

"Why would you want to be with me? Remember that day when you walked me to Rachel's house after the banquet you told me you thought that the whole date was a mistake too and that you realized that what Whitey and Camilla had wasn't us that we didn't have a love like that.said brooke sadly

"I was wrong to say that but its just you told me that it had been mistake us going together that night and I couldn't bear to hear you say that again and say those words that you didn't want to be with me so Instead of disagreeing I stupidly said something I shouldn't have. But you know something Brooke it doesn't even matter that were not like Whitey and Camilla were not supposed to be everybody's love is different and special and what we had what we have means everything to me. I've never felt about anyone like I feel for you"

Brooke sits down on the chair next to him. She needed to hear what he had to say she had longed to have a conversation with him for so long for him to talk to her like he used to. She decides its time to be honest about that night and be honest why she said what you did

"I only said that because Peyton was still in the way of us, her and her feelings were still going to be there and Plus you and her were really close and it still hurt me to see you with her and I would never ask you to stop being her friend because I don't have the right to ask something like that of you Lucas so I guess I said what I said to see if you would fight for me but you didn't." said Brooke he could hear her voice cracking and the tears in her eyes

Lucas frowned how hadn't he known this how had he just stood back for as long as he did and just let her slip away from him. She was right about him not fighting for her and he could mentally kick himself for that but knew now more than ever that it was her that he wanted and if she wanted him to fight for her then he would

"And then at the game you picked her not me and I know I kinda pushed you to decide Lucas but I guess I thought I had to let you go and if you came back then Id know that we were truly meant to be together and that nobody or anything could ever come between us again and if I'm honest then yes I admit I wanted you to fight for me again at that moment but you didn't"

Brooke pauses and then continued

"I guess I just wanted to know I was worth fighting for that you thought I was worth fighting for" said Brooke sadly desperatly trying to keep the tears from falling from her eyes

"Brooke you mean everything to me and sure I'm the first to admit I've acted like an idiot but what we have is too good and quite frankly too special to throw away. Your the girl for me Brooke Davis and nobody can ever change the way I feel for you And you have every right to be angry at me and I'm sorry for everything I don't think I've ever been more sorry for anything in my life and if I could go back and change things I would but the one thing I wouldn't change is the way I feel for you"

"Your third most embarrassing speech?" asked Brooke, he could see the smile appearing on her face

Lucas smiles and nods

"Yes my third and as I've said before any speech I've ever made always ends with you that's……..

She cuts him off knowing what he is going to say

"It does count for something Luke" replied Brooke smiling

Lucas watches her she seemed to be searching for the words to say to him. He decides to speak first

"If you don't love me look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't love me" said Lucas. He knew he was taking a risk asking this of her but Keith's words kept replaying in his head "force a connection" at the time when Keith had said that ,it was about Goth Brooke but Lucas realized that the sentence applied here too he needed to force that connection and get her to admit how she felt

"You know I can't say that because if I did then I would be lying" said Brooke

He could hear her voice softening as she spoke .he smiles and reaches for her hand and holds it

"How do you know I am the one for you" asked Brooke

He knew with the question she was asking she was giving him that chance to fight for her a chance that he had blown many times before but this time he was ready and he wasn't going to let it pass by

"Because when I'm with you I never want to be with anyone else. Because I've now given another speech and I would give a million more if it meant I could be with you. Its you that I love, it's always been you. It's always going to be there between us you know? You and me. And every time I think about who I truly want to be there when all my dreams come true its you that I think of every single time I love you and I………

Brooke smiles this is what she had been waiting for it was what she had longed for ,for him to fight for her for him to say those three words to her she cuts him off by placing her lips on his and kissing him softly a smile plays across his lips

"Oh I love you too more than ever" said Brooke as the tears started to stream down her face. It wasn't tears of sadness though but tears of pure joy.It was finally happening the boy she loved was telling her he loved her too

Lucas wipes the tears with away with his thumb

"So does this mean were together again" asked Lucas

"Of course it does I love you Luke "

He smiles

"I love you too pretty girl"

They both kiss

Lucas voiceover

Someone once said that "its not about how many breaths you take in life but the moments that take your breath away" and that is so true because every moment I spend with her does take my breath away and I now know what Keith meant by Different types of love and I know the love I have for Brooke is far greater than the love I have had for anyone. She is the girl for me and I'm the guy for her and nothing will change how much I love her. .And this moment and this day every part of it along with my love for her will live on forever.
