Brooke looked up and her breath was taken away from her. She looked at herself in the mirror but couldn't see herself. She was supposed to see a beautiful women dressed up in an extravagant and expensive gown. She was supposed to see the women wearing it, gleaming with love, pride, and excitement. She was supposed to see a women in love, about to marry the man where her heart belonged. Instead she saw a lost and frightened girl. She saw someone who knew she was about to make a mistake. She saw someone that was not in love, but afraid.
"What am I doing." She stared at herself. Brooke sat down on the nearby chair and looked at the ring that was given to her. The ring that was given to her so passionately by a man that was completely in love with her, the man that promised to be a good husband, the man that promised to love her forever. And he would, he definitely would. Jerry was always a great guy and Brooke knew that he would live up to his word, the only problem was that she knew she wouldn't be able to live up to hers.
She thought back to the day he had first asked her to marry him. It was a rainy afternoon and the couple had just gotten home from the park. They had gotten coat in the beginning of the storm and were all wet. They didn't care though, the two of them laughed about it and made love in their bed for hours. After they were done he simply looked at her, promised he would love her forever, and gave her the ring and asked her to be his wife. Brooke was indeed shocked, not by the fact that he asked her because she knew that was coming. The thing that shocked her is that the moment he asked her and slipped the ring on her finger, Lucas Scott appeared in her head.
Brooke barely remembers saying yes. She remembered just seeing Lucas face. He wasn't smiling, nor frowning but simply just staring at her. Piercing her with those eyes that she would remember forever.
Brooke continued
staring at the ring as her heart kept beating faster. She didn't
mean to jump when her mother knocked on the door. Alexa and her
mother entered with smiles on their faces.
"Are you all ready
sweetie?" Her mother asked.
Brooke nodded.
"Everyone is just about ready, do you need help with anything?"
"No, I'm okay."
"You look so beautiful sweetie."
"Thank you." Brooke smiled and hugged her mother.
"Everything is going to change now sweetie. You are no longer going to be a Davis. You are going to be a Benson."
Brooke didn't say anything back, but just looked at her mother as she walked out the door.
"hey are you okay?" Alexa asked her.
"I'm fine."
"You look like you are about to hurl."
"I'm fine!" She snapped.
Alexa raised her eye brown and stepped out of the room, grabbing Brooke's purse on the way out. "You'll be needing this." She whispered under her breath.
Brooke looked out the window and saw that none of the guests were outside. They were all in the church awaiting her arrival. They were all waiting for her .
"I can do this, I can be Brooke Jenson." She told herself. She turned around and saw herself in the mirror once more and she knew in her heart what she had to do. She didn't even bother to think, or talk to anyone, or grab anything. She picked up her dress and ran to the doors of the church as fast as she could and ran to the nearest bus stop, and that is the beginning of how everything changed.
"Brooke. Brooke, Hello!" Alexa jumped on Brooke's bed and started to shake her.
"What!" She snapped.
"You have been sleeping forever, get up you lazy bum."
"Shut up I can sleep in if I want."
"No you can't let's go shopping."
"NO I don't feel like it." Brooke yawned as she got up and washed her face. "I had a dream about the wedding." She told Alexa
"You mean the almost, supposed to be, never happened cause you ran out wedding?"
"Shut up." Brooke threw a towel at her.
"Are you okay?" Alexa asked.
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Are you sure, you look like you are about to hurl."
"Dude." Brooke smiled. "Shut up."
