CHAPTER 20: Feeling A Moment

It had been about a week since Brooke and Lucas settled into their new apartment, and was loving every minute of it.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Luuuke" Brooke moaned

"Get the alarm" She added with her face buried into the pillow

"Lucas!" She yelled

"What?!" Lucas answered finally

"Could you please turn that god awful alarm off before I throw it out the window?" Brooke returned

"Oh, the things I do for you Pretty Girl" Lucas said smiling and turning the alarm off

"Yeah, but you love me" She said finally pulling her head out of the pillow

"Your lucky I do" He said and leaned down to kiss her

"Okay, okay" Lucas said breaking the kiss

"Noooo" Brooke pleaded

"I have to go and look for a job to pay for this place unless you want to be homeless" He informed

"Ugh, fine, but what about school?" She asked

"We are graduating in less than a week, I think I can handle it" He smiled

"Okay then, I'm going to school, so that I CAN graduate!" Brooke laughed getting up from bed

-
AT PEYTON'S

"Jake, wait!" Peyton pleaded

"God Peyton, I can't keep playing this game with you" Jake admitted

"Why the hell does everybody think this is a game?" Peyton asked

"I knew that you weren't committed to our relationship" Jake confessed

"Jake---

"I knew you still had feelings for Lucas, I just missed you so much and wanted to be with you so badly, but not now, not when you have feelings for your best friend's fiancé…..again!" Jake yelled

"But I don't!" Peyton cried

"You can't keep playing that Lucas card Peyton, its not fair to Brooke and Lucas….and it's not fair to me" He returned

"Jake…I'm sorry" She finally blurted

"Don't" He ordered

"Don't what? Jake? Don't apologize? Don't be honest? Cause as far as I'm concerned that's ALL I've been doing" She informed

"I can't do this anymore Peyton, I can't be in love with someone who isn't in love with me" He confessed

"Does that mean it's over?" She asked with tear stained cheeks and bags under her eyes

"Yeah, yeah it does" He replied sadly and grabbed a packed bag and left

"Jake, don't" She called after him ---------------------------------------------------------

RINGING SOUND

"Hello?" Lucas answered

"Hey Luke..it's Peyton" She replied

"Oh hey" He greeted

"Can we meet up somewhere?" She asked

"Um, I'm just at my mom's café, but you are welcome to come" He invited

"Sure, I'll be there in a bit" She hung up -
KAREN'S CAFÉ

"Hey Luke" Peyton said sitting in the open stool beside him

"Hey" He returned

"You okay?" He added once seeing her tear stained cheeks

"No, not really" She said and began to cry

"What happened?" He asked a little concerned

"Jake….he….left" She said in between tears

"Oh Peyton I'm so sorry" Lucas said turning to hug her

"Thanks Luke…" She said

"Sure" He whispered

"You're always saving me…" She muttered under her breath just enough for him to hear

"Peyton, no, don't pull that on me" He said pulling out of the hug

"It's always going to be there with us Lucas, you know it and I know it, lets just make it happen already" She admitted

Lucas just grabbed his things and left without a word

"Lucas wait" Peyton called after him

"Peyton" Karen said hearing the whole conversation

"Oh, hey Karen" Peyton greeted pretending as if nothing was wrong

"Do not, and I repeat do NOT mess this up for him, he is finally happy with Brooke, and so help me god if you screw this up for them, you will have to deal with me" Karen scolded

"I know, and I'm sorry, but I love him" Peyton cried

"…So does Brooke" Karen added

"Don't do this to her again" Karen commanded

And with that…Peyton left

From here on out, it will take place about 3 months later

So, lets get up to date on these past 3 months and a little bit of spoilers, shall we?

Okay…

They have all graduated, and I've decided not to write the entire graduation

And maybe….Brooke

Peyton and Lucas buried the day when Peyton confessed her love for him

But it will soon leak out

And for Brooke and Lucas' honeymoon they decide to take along Nathan, Haley and Peyton, so that should be fun

Oh yeah, and what is One Tree Hill without any DRAMA?

Cause that's coming up too.

THE SECOND HALF OF CHAPTER 21

And it's Brooke's Bachelorette party, and Lucas' Bachelor party

"Alright, Haley and Peyton are picking me up in about 10 minutes" Brooke said walking out of the bedroom

"And Nathan, Skills, Tim and Mouth are coming in about 15 minutes..perfect timing" Lucas smiled

"Sounds good" She smiled putting on her earrings

DING DONG

"Hey guys, let me just get my jacket" Brooke said and ran to her bedroom

"Hey Hales….Peyton" Lucas glared

"Ok..that was weird" Haley said breaking the awkward silence

"okay! I'm ready!' Brooke said walking out of the bedroom

"Alright soon-to-be-husband…be good" Brooke said pulling him into a kiss

"I will" Lucas laughed

"Have fun!" He said calling after them

"So…what exactly are we going to do tonight?" Brooke asked as they headed towards the parking lot

"You'll see…" Haley said smirking

"Ugh, come on, you guys know i'm not patient!" Brooke whined

"Trust me…we know" Peyton laughed

They soon walked up to a black stretch hummer limo

"Oh my god!" Brooke said with her mouth open

"You like?" Peyton asked

"You guys…I love it!" Brooke yelled in excitement as she pulled them into a hug

"I thought you would" Haley smiled

"Okay…so what are we sitting here staring at it…lets go party!" Peyton shrieked

They all piled into the black limo

Meanwhile back at Lucas' bachelor party ---------------------------------------------------------------

DING DONG

"Hey man!" Nathan said shaking Lucas' hand

"Yo dawg" Skills smiled walking in with a bag ful of junk food and…videos

"Yo man" Junk said walking in after Skills

"LUKE, LUKE!" Tim said running in

"Guess what?" Tim said in almost a whisper

"What..Tim?" Lucas asked…annoyed

"I ordered a….stripper!" Tim shrieked

"God Tim, not again" Nathan moaned

"It will be just like Nathan's bachelor party…except for the cops showing up and everything" Tim said smiling and remembering that night

"Yeah…lets hope it's not like Nathan's bachelor party!" Mouth said walking in

"Mouth..hey man!" Lucas said walking over to Mouth

"It's been to long Luke" Mouth smiled

"Yeah it has" Lucas said smiling back

"So…uh Skills, whats in the bag?" Nathan asked

"You know dawg, just some chips, soda, junk food….oh yeah, and some videos I found at the store when Bevin wasn't looking" Skills said laughing

"What kind of party is it without the real thing?" A tall blonde said leaning in the doorway in a trenchcoat

"Yessssss" Tim shreiked

"Whoa man..she hot" Skills said cheking the blonde out

"This is Lucas Scotts bachelor party…right?" She asked

"Yes…yes it is" Tim said wiping the drool off his mouth

"Mouth…Mouth, blink man!" Skills said snapping his fingers in front of Mouths eyes

"I'm Kathryn, but you can call me Kitty" The blonde muttered

"Meee—OW!' Tim shouted

"Haha, you're cute, what's your name?" 'Kitty' asked

"I'm…uh…I'm" Tim studdered

"Tim" Nathan blurted

"Yeah…Tim" Tim repeated

"So, what about this hottie?" She asked walking over to Lucas who was trying hard not to stare

"Um, I'm Lucas" He muttered trying so hard not to make eye contact

"Hmm…" She said gazing up and down at his body

"So, you guys going to tell me where we are going?" Brooke questioned

"Uhm, nope" Haley simply stated

"Champagne anyone?" Peyton offered

"Yes please!" Brooke gladly accepted

"Haley? How about you?" Peyton asked

"Um, no thanks…" Haley said innocently

"Haley! Come on" Brooke smiled

"No, I don't feel like drinking" She stated

"Tutorwife…are you pregnant?" Brooke asked

"No…" Haley lied

"Haley, we can see right past that lying face!" Peyton laughed

"Fine…yes I'm pregnant" Haley announced

"Wow, 2 babies in the house and you STILL manage to stay busy!" Brooke joked

"Haha, very funny" Haley said sticking out her tounge

"Have you told Nathan?" Peyton asked

"No, not yet" Haley informed

"Haley, you need to tell him" Brooke ordered

"I know, I know. But hey! Lets stop talking about me, and focus on…..you!" Haley said turning her head to Brooke

"Well, that sounds like a plan to me!" Brooke laughed

"You seem happy" Peyton said to Brooke, and wished she would just drop everything and not marry Lucas.

"I am" Brooke grinned

"I can't imagine anyone more perfect for Lucas then you" Haley smiled at Brooke "I can" Peyton whispered under her breath, while Haley shot a glare towards Peyton

"So…how are you and Mr. Loverboy!?" Brooke asked Peyton; who didn't know they were broken up

"Oh, Jake, uh we're good! He works a lot, so I don't see him that often" Peyton lied, but really didn't want them to know he dumped her because of Lucas

"I'm sorry Peyt" Haley glared, while fully knowing what Peyton meant by her last comment

"Enough of the pitty party!" Brooke said trying to liven up the conversation

"When the hell are we going to be there Tutorwife?" Brooke whined

The limo came to a stop—

"Right… about now!" Haley said laughing as the limo stopped

Meanwhile back at the bachelor party—

It had been several hours of hanging out and watching the stripper…strip, until finally they boys all left

"How much do I owe you?" Lucas said getting his wallet out

"Don't worry, you're so cute it would be a crime to charge you" Kitty informed with a michevious smile on her face

"O-k then" Lucas said putting the wallet back

"Come here" She said pulling him towards the couch

"Uh…" Lucas muttered

"Look, it's your last night of freedom, lets make it mean something" She said pulling him in for a kiss, until their lips finally met

"Whoa, whoa, I can't do this" Lucas said breaking the kiss

"Yes you can, you're a great kisser" Kitty laughed

"No, I mean I can't do this to Brooke" He said honestly

"Come on..she won't find out" She said with a seductive smile

Just then…Brooke came walking through the door

"Hey I decided to cut the night short since I missed you—" Brooke started

"What the hell is this?!" She said raising her voice which cause Lucas to practically jump off Kitty

"Brooke—"Lucas started as Brooke when running out the door

"Whoopsies" Kitty laughed

"Get the hell out" Lucas demanded as he went running after Brooke

"Brooke wait!" He yelled coming down the stairs of the apartment complex

"No, Lucas, and to think, I was beginning to think you were the most perfect guy in the world, then you cheat on me for the THIRD time, and here I am, stupid for crawling back to you each time you screw it up" Brooke cried

"Brooke, she wanted to have sex…but I told her no!" He shouted

"Oh, kinda like with Peyton, right?" Brooke asked tears streaming down her cheak

"No, god Brooke, what can I do to fix this?" Lucas asked

"Theres nothing else for you to do to hurt me Luke" Brooke said softening her voice

"Brooke I'm so so sorry—" He apologized

"I can't do this anymore" Brooke said unlocking her car door

"You don't understand, it's you I want Brooke!" He called after her while she was getting in the car

"Apparently not" She simply said driving off

It's not that you lost a friend I just need some time to lick my wounds I'll be out of service for a little while I'm sure I'll be up and running soon

He's just amateur these days Not used to dealing with this pain He's just amateur these days Never thought that he would see a girl away

And our history will never be erased You were a great companion And some memories will never ever fade So I love and so I hate
