"Hey. You ok?" asked Victoria
"Leave me alone. You know, this is all your fault."
"My fault?" asked Victoria
"Uh, yea."
"How is it my fault?" asked Victoria
"You told me to get the abortion. You didnt tell me when Lucas called. And you invented that BITCH that's ruining everything!"
"Brooke-" I cut Victoria off
"No. What was the purpose of you coming back? Because everything was much better when you were gone."
I turn over in my bed causing my back to face Victoria, a tear falls from my eyes and I hear Victoria leave.
A little while after Victoria left, Peyton came over to check up on me.
"Hey. How are you?" asked Peyton
"Terrible. It's like... I keep feeling my heart crumble over and over again. I cant stop crying and all I wanna do is puch a hole in the... freakin wall."
"Then do it." then Peyton makes a slight giggle, "Im sorry. I really want you to be happy, Brooke. I do. I just wish there was something I can do or say that take atleast some pain off of you." said Peyton
"You're doing it, Peyt. Thanks for being here for me."
"Feel better, ok? I have an errand I gotta run." said Peyton
"Kay."
"Who do you think you are?" asked Peyton walking toward the rivercourt
"Someone you're pissed at?" asked Lucas shooting hoops
"Brooke really really likes you and she's good for you. And more than that, she trusts you." said Peyton
"And I know that." said Lucas
"Ok fine. She hurt you and you want her to feel your pain but enough is enough." said Peyton
"You dont understand Peyton. This isnt any of your business." said Lucas
"Brooke is my business. God, why are guys such jerks! Look, Im not asking you to take her back." said Peyton
"Oh really?" asked Lucas
"Just... forgive her. And move on. Atleast try and be her friend. Please." said Peyton then walks away
Well... the day and time for the school dance has arrived and I notice Lucas sitting at a table. I build up enough courage to go talk to him.
"I didn't walk over here to rehash the past. I was reminded today that the most perfect act of love is sacrifice. Burying your feelings for the person you love so you could be a good friend. I love you, Lucas. And I think I have since the first moment that we locked eyes. And it is going to suck but if what you want is for me to let go, then I'm going to do it. Be happy Luke. I want that with all my heart." then I start to walk off but Lucas stops me
"You know you haven't really been yourself lately Brooke. I mean, not the Brooke I remember." said Lucas
"Yeah, well I haven't been that Brooke since we broke up."
"You look amazing." said Lucas
"Ok, I'm sorry. This is weird because I feel really weird."
"Look, we had a relationship, we can't pretend we didn't... but before that, we were really good friends. There's no reason we can't have that again. Right?" asked Lucas
"Right" then Lucas walks away
"Luke, you still love her don't you? Brooke?" asked Rachel
"Hey, Brooke. I realized you didnt have a date." said Mouth
"Nope. Just me."
"Would you like to dance?" asked Mouth
"That's really sweet of you. I would love to dance."
Well, the dance is over and I go outside
"Look, I've seen Brooke really try to make an effort to turn things around. It just sucks how much of a jackass you're being." said Haley
"Haley, I'm not the bad guy here, okay?" said Lucas
"Right. I guess Brooke was just a piece of crap to you, huh?" asked Haley
"Excuse me. She makes me laugh. She's sweet. And she's not afraid to be herself." said Lucas
"Then what's the problem?" asked Haley then walks away.
As I am walking away, I bump into Haley.
"Oh sorry. What is your name again?"
"Haley…" said Haley
"Right. Sorry." then Haley starts to walk off, "Oh, umm Haley. Wanna hang out sometime?"
"Sure." said Haley
"Kay."
"I'll see you guys later." said Haley
"Where's your ride?" asked Peyton
"Oh. Lucas is my ride." said Haley
"I think he and Rachel just left." said Peyton
"Wow. Some brother." said Haley
"You can ride with us. Right Peyton?"
"Just don't touch the stereo. Or we'll have a problem." said Peyton
"What's your idea of your perfect date?"
"Umm... I dont know. Why?" asked Haley
"I think I might have you a boyfriend."
"Well, what about you and Lucas?" asked Haley
"What about us?"
"Oh, come on. I'll be surprised if you two couldnt get back together." said Haley
"Lucas, Haley get in here." said Karen
"Yes?" asked Haley
"Umm... we have some news." said Keith
"What's going on?" asked Lucas walking into the kitchen
"I was offered a job." said Keith
"That's great Keith." said Lucas
"We have to move." said Karen
"What?!" yells both Haley and Lucas
"The job is in Florida." said Karen
"But you're not gonna take it. Right?" asked Haley
"I've already accepted it." said Keith
"What?" asked Haley then Lucas walks out of the kitchen
"Luke." said Karen
"So, we dont get a choice or anything? No kind of say-so?" asked Haley
"Im sorry Hales." said Karen
"Do not call me Hales." said Haley then leaves the kitchen
Im laying on the couch watching The Vow, Rachel McAdams was great in this movie and Channing Tatum is so cute, and I hear a sudden knock on the door. I open it and there stands Lucas.

"Luke, um... what are you doing here?"
"Well, Im moving." said Lucas
I didnt know what to say. This was so overwhelming.
"I know that this is probably hard to take in with everything that's going on." said Lucas
"Yeah. Umm... Lucas I-" then Lucas kisses me
"Tell me that was a goodbye kiss."
"Im gonna miss you Brooke." said Lucas
"Really?"
"Yea. If you want to say anything. Anything at all, tell me now." said Lucas
"Luke I... ummm... I love you but..."
"Brooke." said Lucas
"You didnt miss me while we were broken up and so I stop missing you so if you need to leave then Im not stopping you. You dont love me and I cant make you love me. Bye Luke." then I close the door
I started to think about what I said and realized that it was out of anger. I opened the door but it was too late. He was gone. But then I noticed a short peice of paper on the ground. It was the name of a airport and a time. Also on the paper read, "If you have anything left you want to say to me. Catch me before I get on my flight. Lucas."
That next morning I got up at 8:00. Lucas's flight leaves at 9:00. I asked Peyton to give me a lift. I got to the airport at 9:50 am. I rushed through the crowd and yelled Lucas's name.
I couldnt find him. It finally reached 9:05 when I realized that he's gone. The love of my life... was gone.
