We finally reached the grocery store and Jacklyn gave me a list of things to find and we both split up and went looking for groceries, as I am looking I but into someone.
"Oh.. Im so sorry." then I look up to realized who Im standing infront of
"Brooke?" asked Lucas
Hot damn!
"Umm... Lucas... I..."
"I cant believe you're here. Why are you here?" asked Lucas
"My umm... I... Victoria... Savann...Florida... best..."
"I cant understand what you're saying." said Lucas
"Victoria flew me here to stay with my Aunt Savannah. She thought that Tree Hill wasnt the best for me right now." I finally said
"Wow. I guess I didnt tell you I was moving to Florida." said Lucas
"Nope. You missed that part. I was so nervous about Peyton not being here with me but now that I know you live here... makes it sooo much easier."
"Not for me." said Lucas
"What?"
"Brooke, Ive been still thinking about you." said Lucas
"You too."
"Lucas!" a girl yells
"Haley." said Lucas
"Brooke?" asked Haley
"Yep!" I yell excitedly
"Oh my God. What are you doing here?" asked Haley
"She's living here now." said Lucas unexcitedly
"This is so exciting."
"Brooke!" Jacklyn yells the spots me and starts to walk over, "Oh, hey Lucas."
"You know him?"
"Yeah. We go to the same school. And.. so we you." said Jacklyn
"Cool." said Haley
"Hey Brooke, why dont you come over for dinner. Karen and Keith will be excited to see you." said Haley
"Ok. I can go right?"
"Yeah. Mom wont mind." said Jacklyn
"Soo... Lucas is my friend. What is he to you?" asked Jacklyn
"My ex-boyfriend. Yeah, it's a long story that I dont wanna talk about."
"That's cool. Come on." said Jacklyn
Lucas's P.O.V
"Karen! Keith!" yells Haley
"What have we told you Haley? It's Mom and Dad." said Karen
"Nevermind that! Guess what?" asked Haley
"What?" asked Keith
"Brooke is here." said Haley
"What do you mean Brooke is here?" asked Karen
"Here! In Florida! She's just moved here today." said Haley
"And Haley invited her to dinner. Yay."
"Stop being so grumpy. You gonna have to forgive her, you know." said Haley
"No, I dont. I owned up and asked her to be my friend. After all of that. I finally give her a chance to make things right and she blew me off."
"Im sure she had a perfectly good reason. The girl loves you Luke." said Haley
"Oh yeah? Well she has a stupid way of showing it." then I leave the kitchen and go into my room
"Luke!" yells Haley, "Ugh!"
"Give him some Hales." said Karen
"No. I gave him time but now he's just being a huge... Jack A!" yells Haley
Brooke's P.O.V
At 6:45pm I rung the doorbell. Haley opened the door while Lucas stood in the background like he wanted to kill himself.
"Hey Brooke." said Haley
"Hey Hales." said then I look towards Lucas. He then walks off like I wasnt standing there.
"Im sorry about him." said Haley
"It's ok. I mean... you did tell how he was. Foolish me for thinking that he felt different now that Im here. All I did was make it worst."
"There's no excuse for what's he's doing to you. You're a good person Brooke." said Haley
"Thanks. So are you. You know, you can be my 'Peyton' while Im up here. Of course no one can replace her but... me and you are gonna be great friends."
"I feel that way too." said Haley then leads me toward the dining area
"Hey Brooke." said Karen then gave me a slight hug, "Dinner will be ready in a few so make yourself comfortable."
"Kay, thanks." then I walk to the living room, where Lucas was, and sat on the couch. As soon as I sat down, he threw the remote in the couch as got up and walked away.
"Lucas wait!" then he truns around looking like he wanted to shoot me, "Im sorry, ok? Ive been telling you that. I thought you wanted to be my friend? Look, the airport.. it wasnt my fault. I got there and you already gone. I wanted to tell how I felt. I wanted to give you a goodbye hug and say "Seey ya later, Broody." Ok? I did. But you were gone and I missed you like hell. But you remember what you said, right?
We were really good friends. And there's no reason we can't have that again. You said it Luke. And I believed it."
"Brooke. Im going to be honest with you. I never meant what I said. I thought I did at the time. But I realized after the airport... I didnt. I think the main reason why I said it was because Peyton asked me to forgive and try to be your friend. I did it for Peyton." said Lucas
"So you love Peyton now?"
"No but... I hate you." said Lucas then walks off
"Lucas! Lucas Eugene Scott!" yells Keith
"Brooke-" said Haley but I cut her off
"Im going home." I say while cring then I run out of the house
(I know in the first chapter it said 4 years earlier but I decided to make it shorter. Alot shorter.)
As I slowly walk toward the road I can't help but to think "What have I gotten myself into?" I know I shouldn't have done what I did. Is this where I was suppose to end up? Is this destiny. If it is... I don't believe. I just wish I could take it all back. I'm sorry. I'm sorry is all I could say. I should've never listened to her. My mother. Don't let this be the end. I won't give up. Please. Then I hear a soft scream but as I approach closer It grows louder. I start to shake inside but I manage to keep walking. I'm sorry. I should've let him go. It was stupid. I should've let that night be magical. The secret. I should've never kept it a secret. I wish I could take it back. I would've said something. Don't let him give up on me. I won't give up on him. This isn't destiny. Destiny. What does that word mean. I hear the scream again. I know that voice. That's... me. Screaming from inside. I didn't want this for myself. I may never forgive myself. But I need him to forgive me. I wanted to tell him. I couldn't make out the words so I let him leave. I regret it. Don't let him leave again. I give him my hand. To hold onto. I don't want it all to slip away again. I believe. Does he belive? Help I yell from inside. But I keep walking. Why am I walking? Where to. I don't know. But I keep walking. Wherever I go would be better than home. Home. That's where it all went wrong. That's no home, that's the dungeon I was locked in forever. Where I never wanted to be. I believe I'm cursed. My life is all kinds of screwed up. He wanted to be here. I wanted him to be here. But the secret. The secret I kept. Why did I keep that secret. I'm sorry. But the more I repeat those words doesn't make it ok. But I am. I will always be. I apologize. Don't let him stay mad. Let him run to me. I'm sorry... My body suddenly makes a stop and I realized where I was. Lucas's house. My body breaks down onto the porch and I began to cry. Why I was crying? I dont know. I picked myself off of the ground and began to walk away from the house when I heard the door open. I truned around and there was Lucas. Suddenly... it started to rain.
"Im sorry... I dont know why Im here." then I began to run down the street
"Brooke!" yells Lucas then he starts to chase after me, "Brooke!" he yells but I continue to run
"Brooke I love you!" Lucas yells then my body comes to a stopped
"What?"
"I love you! Iv ealways loved you!" then he walks up to me, "From the first time I saw you."
"But you said-"
"I know what I said. And it was wrong." said Lucas
"Why do you love me?" then Lucas makes a sligh laugh
"Because you kink your eyebrows when you're trying to be cute. Because you quote Kmo even though I've actually never seen you read. Because you miss your parents, but you never admit that! And because I've given exactly two of these embarrassing speeches, and they've both been with you. And because we're both gonna get pneumonia, but if you, need to hear why I love you, I can go on all night." said Lucas
"You did pretty good."
"I love you, pretty girl." said Lucas
"I love you too."
(HAHAHAHAH! GOTCHA!)
I finally woke myself up from that dream. Best dream ever. I wish Lucas loved me. Well, it's time for school. UGH!
"Morning."
"Hey. Ready for school?" asked Jacklyn
"Do I have a choice?"
"Haha. Not really." said Jacklyn then grabs her bookbag off the counter and head out the door for school
We finally made it to school. Yay.
"Hey Brooke!" I hear Lucas yell after me. I slowyl turn around
"Here to break my spirit again?"
"No. I want to apologize for how I acted. Im sorry. You didnt deserve. I dont hate you Brooke. I understand that we;'re young and you felt that the abortion was right. I just wish you would have told me.
"I wanted to tell you Lucas. I did. But I didnt know how. I was scared."
"I know. Will you forgive me?" asked Lucas
"Yes."
"Can I walk you to class?" asked Lucas
"Of course." then me and Lucas began to walk side by side to class.
