CHAPTER: Blurry

"You wanna tell me, what's the baggage all about, and why do you want me to drop you off the airport?" he asked staring at her and then to back on the road.

"You know Jageilski, I always figure your smart, but you just proved me wrong" she laughs.

"Okay, Davis, I know you're leaving, all I want to know is why? Where? How long?"

"What is this 20 questions?"

"You know what I'm talking Brooke, are you running away because you can't handle seeing them together anymore?" Jake knew how badly hurt Brooke's feeling, but he never expected her to just turn around and walked away. The Brooke he knew wouldn't give up on things like this. He knew there's something wrong with her

"Why does everyone think that every time I pulled away or do something, it's because of them? Not everything is about them"

"Then why?" he asked with stern voice.

"I wished I could tell you Jake, but I don't want to drop a bomb at you. And besides its better off this way" she just shrugged and focuses her attention to the road.

"What bomb?" he asked confused. Brooke Davis is a really complicated to talked to he told himself.

"I just can't okay!" she snapped. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to" she apologized quickly.

"No, its okay, if you don't want to tell me it's fine, but Brooke you'll feel better if you open up to someone, whatever it is you're hiding."

The journey to airport continued with silence. Jake didn't press anymore the question to Brooke, he knew too well to push her.

Back on Tree Hill High.

"Hey Luke, have you seen Brooke?" Haley asked. She was looking for Brooke all night; she wanted to talk to her, sort everything out. Yes, she was mad at what Brooke did, but she doesn't want to lose her just like that. Her friendship is more important to her.

Lucas just stood exactly the spot he was standing when Brooke and Jake left, it's as if he feel numb to move an inch. He have this awful feeling, the way Brooke told him goodbye, he just can't shake the feeling that he will never see her again.

"Hey Luke!" Haley shouts at him.

"Oh, hey Haley, how long have you've been there? He asked

"Long enough to watch you stand there like you're a lost kid" she said with a feeling of concern in her voice. "What's wrong Luke?"

"Brooke." He said simply.

"What about Brooke? Is something happen? Where is she by the way?" she asked confused.

"She left with Jake Hales, but I don't know why I feel that it's the last time I will be able to see her" oblivious to him, tears already escaping his eyes.

"What do you mean Luke? What do you mean last time? She started to panicked.

"I don't know Haley, the way she said goodbye, I don't know why it hurts" he put his hands on his face feeling defeated.

Haley wrapped him to an embrace.

"She'll come back Luke, she have to. You know it probably meant nothing, tomorrow we'll see her again" she said convincing both of them. She didn't know why a sudden surge of nervousness filled her heart.

Brooke and Jake finally arrived at the airport. But Brooke just stayed at the passenger seat. Jake knew that she'll open up to him.

"I'm not running away because I'm afraid to get hurt each time I see them together." She paused hesitating for a second to continue.

"I'm afraid that I'll hurt all of them"

"What do you mean?" Jake asked confused.

"Jake, I didn't break up with Lucas because I didn't love him. In fact I told him to go to Peyton. Trust me that's the hardest thing I've ever done. But I know that it's the right thing" she said with tears building in the corner of her eyes.

"I don't get it Brooke" he asked her.

"I always take everything for granted, and now I wished I didn't. I wished that I cherished them more, but a side of me telling me that I did the right thing ignoring everything."

He just sat there silent, he's really confused of where Brooke's coming from.

"You know life is a long song, but the tune ends too soon for some of us?"

"Are you sick Brooke?" he asked worried shown in every inch of his face.

"Before Nathan and Haley's wedding, I've found something. Something that change everything about me."

"And I was afraid that if I didn't do anything, I'll start to hurt the people around me, and I couldn't do that to them." She continued. Somehow the weight she's feeling because of the secret she's been hiding, lessen a little.

"Do you have Cancer? Leukemia? What?" there's an anticipation in his voice, he started being scared for Brooke

"No" she said

"Okay" he said with relief visible in his voice. "You see whatever it is that, the doctor told you, it'll be okay, at least no that two right, I mean you can beat whatever it is right? So no use of running away" he encourage her, hoping that he can change her mind.

"You don't understand! It's not that simple Jake! I wished it was, but it's not!" frustration evident to her voice, she doesn't really want to involve Jake in whatever she was dwelling, but she knows that she needed to tell someone.

"What would you do Jake if you found out that you're just living your life to forget everything as the day goes by" she said looking to Jake, she can see the confusion in Jake's eye. She sighed aloud and finished,

"I have an Alzheimer disease."
