Through My Eyes
Chapter 24
I climbed a tree to see the world.
Flashback
This gym is practically empty. Which is perfect. I need the time to practice my shots. I missed 4 baskets last game. My dad had my head for it that night. Plus, I'm going to be out celebrating with the guys tonight anyway. Tim's parents are away for the weekend so he's using the house and invited everyone. I need to be careful though some of these fan girls can be too much sometimes. And Peyton has been really PMS lately and has done nothing but bring down my mood. How was I supposed to know it was her mom's anniversary? Of running the red light. I have bigger things on my mind. She'll get over it. Like I really care anyway. Any of those girls in the stands would kill to be Nathan Scott's girlfriend. Nathan thought to himself as he started shooting around the gym.
Later on that night
Peyton come on! I said I was sorry! Nathan said walking quickly behind Peyton as the party got fuller with guests by the minute.
God Nathan stop pretending like you care about us or me! Peyton said slamming her car door. But before speeding off. Yelled him in front of the house. By the way in case you didn't put it together we're done! she yelled. And here. She threw out of the car at his feet. Some girl is missing her bra and underwear. You should put that on a poster found it in your car last night. She said shaking her head.
"I don't know what's worse us together or me thinking you would ever change! Peyton said. Driving away fast leaving smoke behind her.
Whatever Peyton! Nathan said. Picking them up and walking back inside. Going back in the back to bedroom. And taking a girl in his arms kissing her.
"Here found these in my car." "Guess I was too distracting you forgot." He said smiling as he kissed her.
"Nate I love you." She said staring into his eyes.
"Tay you know I don't use those words." "We're having a good time." Let's not complicate it." He said reconnecting their lips.
As the door swung open. Oh My God! the voice said putting her hands over her eyes. "Geez Taylor you couldn't have warned of me!" The voice said. Still keeping her eyes closed as she spoke. "I need to go home it's late I have to study." "Plus I'm over the loud talking, drink spilling and failed attempts at drunk guys trying to hook up with me." "I'm leaving with or without you. She said quickly grabbing the keys out of her sister's pocket.
"Relax why don't you." "Maybe you should try hanging out with one of those guys and have some actual fun." Taylor said.
"Hi I'm Haley James." Haley said sticking her hand out to Nathan.
As Nathan took her hand and quickly put it down barely making eye contact.
"I'm Nathan Scott." "But I'm sure you've heard that name before" "I'm destined for the NBA." "Number 23." "Don't you forget it." He said smiling with pride as Taylor shut the door in her face.
As she yelled Take off the stupid Poncho! before reconnecting their lips as Nathan locked the door.
Present Time
Weeks later
"After silently stewing with this for a few weeks now. It's time that we told you the truth." Brooke said taking a breath as she looked into the eyes of her friends.
"Lucas and I are eloping. And we are inviting you all to come away with us to the cabin in the mountains. The babies are with the grandparents it's just for weekend and when we get back we'll have a party and celebrate." Brooke said smiling happily as she leaned into Lucas.
As cheers and applause filled the room.
Hours later
Walking inside hand and hand as they opened the door. The warmth and familiarity of the cabin made their hearts full.
"Go pick your rooms out!" Lucas said as everyone raced away.
Taking Brooke's hand in his. He walked over to the other side of the cabin. And opened the door.
Walking inside there was music playing, candles lite, the view of the night sky across from them covered with trees for privacy. A Jacuzzi on the balcony. An assortment of dessert and alcohol. By the bed.
Taking in the time and effort in took to do all of this.
She looked at him. Touching his face with her hands. As they locked eyes.
"I love you so much." "I can't get over this." "It's beautiful." She said kissing him gently.
"I love you too Brooke." "I want this weekend." "To be mind blowing and full of all the moments you dreamed of for your wedding day." "There is no ending." "We are going to have the life we've worked so hard to create for ourselves. Your love and support and endless strength and ambition that has driven me to become the man and father I never thought was possible. I cannot wait to say those vows and become your husband. Free to love you with every last breath until my last day." He said.
Reconnecting their lips as he laid her carefully on the bed in front of them. His eyes barely leaving hers. As she took off his shirt. Running her hands gently over his chest. He threw her shirt down as he unbuttoned her jeans. She quickly got out of them. As he slowly traced her tattoo with his hands. And got her hair out of the ponytail it was in freeing her hair to flow freely onto the pillow. Her hands on his back. As their pounding hearts. Became one. Night covering them until morning.
In the morning
Knocking awoke the sleeping couple. Lucas kissing her shoulder. As he started to get up.
"No let someone else get it." Brooke said taking his hand. Leading him back to bed. As she got onto of him starting to kiss him.
"Right now your mine." She said reconnecting their lips smiling into the kiss.
