If you're not the one- Final Chapter
As Luke puts me on the counter, I get a glimpse of the newspaper that made me come back to Tree Hill. I thought I could push Peyton to the back of my mind for one week, for me to be happy with the one I loved so much, but seeing that article titled "LUCAS SCOTT ENGAGED TO SWEETHEAR PEYTON DAVIS", I knew I couldn't betray her anymore than I already have. My throat goes dry and the world just stopped. I could still hear my heart beating, yearning for me to continue doing whatever it was I doing before but my brain wouldn't let me.
"Luke" I manage to croak out. He's busy searching for flour in the overhead cupboards; he turns around and takes in my expression. I can see worry in his eyes. He walks over to me and cups my face. "What's wrong?" he whispers.
"You're engaged to my sister, I'm in love with you, what couldn't be wrong?"
"About that, I can exp…." I cut him off.
"IF we love each other, why does it have to be so hard? I thought you were the one, if you're not the one then who is?" I close my eyes and steady my breathing. I didn't want to cry, I wanted to have this conversation and get it over with.
"I am the one," his eyes plead with me. He speaks the truth but it's too late.
"Then why are you engaged to Peyton?"
"I'm not, I would never do that to you Brooke" he picks up the newspaper, it was an article with no picture just a big bold headline.
"I had the newspaper make it up, I knew it was the only way you would have the courage to return" I finally understood everything. "That picture of us in your locket just proves that I did the right thing, you wanted to come back, you just needed a push"
"You lied" I stutter.
"It got you here didn't it? Aren't you happy with me? You make me happy and I had to get you back. I never got to tell you that night, that I love you, that I do want to marry you, You are the one" his arms were around me while I was taking it all in. this is what I wanted, I wanted all of this.
"So we didn't do anything wrong? We didn't hurt Peyton?" I asked.
"Why do think Peyton went on a business trip with your dad? Does Jake ring a bell? She moved on Brooke, she's happy and you deserve to be happy too, with me"
I nod my head and smile "I do"
YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE
As I stand here before all our family and friends I can't help but think back to our journey of love. The day Lucas moved in, the day I ran away and the best day, the day I came back. All the heartache I endured paid off, it just shows, some things are worth the wait.
CAN WE HAVE THE BRIDE AND GROOM FOR THEIR FIRST DANCE!
He takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor. We hold each other close, I feel so secure when he puts his chin above my head and when I close my eyes while laying my head on his chest.
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
I hope you enjoyed it. It is the last chapter…. I hope it seals the deal!!!….
