The Aftermath Of Getting Drunk
Previously on, Surviving Even When It Seems Impossible...
Brooke got up with her hand on her head and looked in the mirror. "What the hell is that...Lucas, get up what the hell did we do last night?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What do you mean, what did we do last night?" Lucas asked, confused. "We went to the bar with Nathan and Haley and got really drunk, obviously."
Brooke showed Lucas her hand.
"Oh my god." Lucas said, seriously. "Tell me you were wearing that ring before we went out last night."
"Yes, Lucas...I found it on the deserted island and just had to have it." she said, annoyed. She was now pasing back and fourth.
"Brooke, calm down, we have to try and remember." Lucas said, calmly.
Brooke sat down on the bed. "Um...ok...um, oh my god I don't remember anything, I was sooo drunk!"
"Yea, tell me about it." Lucas laughed. "You almost killed me when you jumped on my baaaa...hey I remember something!"
"Come on, Cheery, let's not go in that cab, let's walk!" Lucas said, laughing. He thought it was great that they weren't going to get in the cab.
"Yea! And I have an idea!" Brooke said, jumping on Lucas' back.
"What is it?" Lucas asked.
"Come on, you'll see, it will be sooo funny!" Brooke said, laughing. Lucas laughed, too.
Brooke gasped. "I'm so sorry, Luke!"
"It was your idea!" he said, angrily. "How could anybody let us get married, we were sooo drunk!"
"I know, oh my god, oh my god, this is horrible!" Brooke said, pasing around the room again. "I can't be married!"
"But yet, you are." Lucas said, falling back down on his pillow.
They stood there in silence for a minute remembering everything that happened.
"Lucas, we are gunna get married ok, that will be sooo funny!" Brooke said, pulling him up the chapel stairs.
"Ok." Lucas laughed. "But I have to get you a ring!"
"Here, use this!" Brooke said, taking a ring off of her necklace. "It is my mom's, but I stole it one time and put it around my neck so she wouldn't see it." She just burst out laughing.
"Yea, you had that before...ok, I'll use that." he said, gettinjg down on one knee and almost falling over. "Brooke, marry me!" He just started laughing, too.
"Yea, I will!"
Later...
Brooke and Lucas were both giggling as the priest talked, but tried to be quiet so he couldn't here them.
"We gather here today to witness the bind between two people, Lucas and Brooke. Do you, Lucas, take Brooke to be your lawfully, wedded wife, in sickness, in health, for richer, for poorer till death do you part?"
"I do." he said, laughing.
"Do you, Brooke, take Lucas to be your lawfully, wedded husband, in sickness, in health, for richer, for poorer till death do you part?" The priest asked again.
Brooke laughed, covering her mouth so she wouldn't to loud. "Yea, I do."
"The ring." the priest said. Lucas put the ring on Brooke's finger once again, they just squealed with laughter.
"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride." the priest said, then walked away, annoyed. His house was hooked on to the chapel, but he didn't like having to come in the middle of the night for elopers that can't wait to get married.
The rest of the day Lucas and Brooke avoided eachother so they could collect their thoughts and think about what was going on. Lucas went to the River Court, thats where he always went when he had to think about stuff, and Brooke stayed at the apartment, mostly because she didn't know where else to go. She decided to call Peyton, the only person she met on the island that she could talk to, besides Lucas.
"Please pick up...please pick up." she whispered to herself, as the phone rang and rang.
Finally Peyton picked up after the 6th ring. "Hello?"
"Hey Peyt, it's me...Brooke." she said, upset.
"Hey, B. Davis, what's going on?" she asked, concerned. "You sound upset."
"Yea...I have to tell you something."

At the River Court Lucas was playing like crap when Nathan came up behind him.
"Wow, your really sucking, dude." Nathan said, confused. "What's up with you?"
"It's nothing." Lucas said, shooting and missing again.
"Yea, sure, if it was nothing then you wouldn't be shooting like that...give me the ball."
Lucas handed him the ball. "It's just...me and Brooke were really drunk..."
"Yea, I know, Haley told me about the whole night because I couldn't remember what happened." Nathan explained. "She said you guys were pissed out of your minds." he said, laughing.
"It's not funny, dude, we got married..."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Wow, Brooke, that's a new one." Peyton said, kind of serious, kind of laughing.
"Yea, what am I supposed to do?" Brooke asked, sitting on the couch. "Lucas just left, I don't know where he is."
"Just sit there and wait for him I guess." she said. "Hey, I'm going to Charlotte to see Jake, that's where he lives, maybe we'll come to Tree Hill, it's only like an hour or something."
"Yea, thanks, I need to be able to talk to people other than Lucas, Nathan, and Haley." Brooke said, laughing.
"Alright, call me at my cell number tomorrow so we can find out where Lucas lives...hey, wait...shouldn't you ask Lucas first?" she asked.
"Were married now and this is my house so I guess it doesn't really matter." Brooke said, smiling. Maybe she could have fun with this after all.
"Ok, bye."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Nathan stood in the middle of the court laughing.
"Are you done yet, man?" Lucas asked, annoyed. "This isn't funny, I have a serious problem here."
He laughed a little more. "Ok..I think I'm done now, so what are you going to do?"
"I don't know what I'm supposed to do, we've been dating for like less than a month, we can't stay married." he said, freaking out.
"Ok Luke, just chill...you can always get an annulment or divorced." Nathan suggested.
The thought of an annulment or a divorce just made Lucas feel bad, he knew how he felt about Brooke, he didn't want to ruin anything with her and one of those choices might just do that.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Brooke, I'm home, are you here?" Lucas yelled from the porch.
"Yea, in the living room." Brooke said, shutting off the tv.
"Hey." he said, calmly.
"Hey." she said, getting shy. She didn't know why she was being shy around him, that never used to happen.
"So we need to talk about some stuff don't we." Lucas said, sitting down beside her and taking her hand.
"Yea..."
"I've been thinking all day and this is what came to me." Lucas started.
Suddenly the phone rang, inturrupting their conversation.
Lucas groaned and went to answer it. "Hello?" he asked, annoyed.
"Hello, Lucas, we just got a game scheduled a couple minutes ago for wednesday and we need you guys to come to practice right now, are you busy?"
Lucas looked over at Brooke who was waiting for him. "Uh...no, I'll be right over." he said, hiding his anger. He didn't want to have to practice, but he knew it was important so the talk would just have to be postponed for another night.
"Ok, bye, Lucas."
Lucas hung up and turned to Brooke. "Brooke, we're going to have to talk another night about this, do you think you can wait?"
"Yea, I guess so." Brooke said, giving him a little smile.
"Thank, babe, your the best." he said, kissing her forehead quickly and running to the bedroom to get ready.
"Wait." Brooke said, following him there. "I kind of told Peyton that her and Jake could stay here."
Lucas laughed at how scared she got when she told him. "That's ok, Brooke, it'll be fun to see them again."
"Yea, so where are you going?" Brooke asked.
"Oh yeah...I'm going to practice, Nathan will have to go to, so do you want to go to Haley's while we're gone?" he asked, putting his basketball jersey and stuff in his bag. "I know it would beat sitting here all night."
"Sure."
"Ok, I'll drive you over there when I pick up Nathan." he explained.
"Ok." she said. "Lucas?"
"Yea."
"Do you like being married to me?" she asked, nervously.
He just smiled. "Yea, for now...but maybe we will get to be married for good someday." he said, kissing her.
"Yea, maybe."
