Episode 6 Ch. 6- Broken
AN: In this episode I use the song Broken by Lifehouse…I do not own this song but I do really like it.
Lucas is sitting on his bed. He opens the letter slowly. In away he is afraid of what it might say. He then began to read and as he read he heard Lindsay's voice.
Lindsay's voice- Dear Lucas,
There is really no easy way to say what I have to say. This has to be the hardest letter I have ever written in my entire life. I promise you I wasn't always a bad person, but after I met my ex boyfriend Trent things changed for me. Trent was abusive, controlling, and an all around horrible person. He use to beat me for no apparent reason. My father had just passed away when I fell into his trap. I needed someone and he was there for me. Three years after being together Trent fell in with the wrong group of people and was arrested for armed robbery. I knew I had to do something to get away from him before he got of prison, but I didn't know what. Trent was in the same prison as Dan Scott. Dan seemed normal to me and could tell that I was hurting when I would visit Trent. He got my attention one day and I started visiting him. I was his only visitor and I wasn't even family. Dan helped me with all the pain and hate I was feeling towards Trent. One day Dan came up with a plan for me Luke. He promised to take care of Trent if I promised to ruin your life. He knew what my job was and told me it wouldn't be hard for me to get close to you. I agreed to his plan because I wanted Trent gone. Something went terribly wrong Lucas and instead of Trent dying Dan was the one that died. Your father was trying to help me that is when his life was taken from him. After I found out about his death I decided to continue with our plan because although Dan died Trent got twenty years added to his sentence for killing him. I didn't have to pretend to be falling in love with you Lucas because I fell in love with you from the moment I saw your eyes. I thought it would be easy to get you into bed with me, but you loved Peyton more than I had ever seen anyone love another person. I knew I could only hope for a love like you and Peyton had well still have. I tricked you Lucas and you fell for it. I can't be around you knowing what I have done. I see the love that you have for Peyton, and I have decided to back away. You have to fight for her, and make sure that she knows she is the only woman for you. I know that you hate me right now, but please do not let Charlie forget about me. Tell him every single day that I love him. And Luke when you and Peyton get back together because I know you will, ask her to adopt my son I know that she will be a good mother to him. He deserves her and so do you. I am so sorry Lucas I should have known better, but like I said I was scared and desperate and when your scared you can do the unthinkable. I want you to know that I do love you, and if your heart didn't belong to someone else I know that we could be happy. I won't be back…And I want you to know giving up Charlie was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but he belongs with you. I'll have my memories of his first two years, and you can have a lifetime with him. Take care of him and take care of yourself….Love, Lindsay
Lucas had tears in his eyes not because he was sad but because he was angry. He was angry at his father, at Lindsay, but most of all he was angry at himself for falling for his father's games once again. Dan was dead but he was constantly reminding Lucas he was still a monster. His downfall, his divorce had all been a setup, a plan to get him and it had worked. Lucas was trying to control his anger and his disappointment when Charlie, the one good thing that came out of the whole situation, walked into the room.
Charlie- Daddy will you lay with me until I fall fast aseep?
Lucas- You know what buddy I'll lay with you all night long
Charlie- Willy Why?
Lucas- Because I love you more than the stars in the sky, the fish in the sea, and the people in the world…
Charlie- I wove you to daddy…this much! (He holds his hands real big. Lucas wipes tears from his eyes and picks up his two year old son. He smiles because although he was played for a fool he still had a son to be happy about)
Lifehouse's Broken begins to play as Lucas starts getting Charlie ready for bed.
The Broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best like you've already figured out
Lucas is smiling and hugging his son after he had put on his pajamas. Lucas grabs a book from the shelf and starts to read to his son. Before he gets through the first page Charlie is fast asleep in his daddy's arms.
Peyton is tucking Savannah in.
Savannah- Mommy I love you more than the stars in the sky
Peyton- Well I love you more than the fish in the sea
Savannah- Well I love you more than the people in the world
Peyton- And together we will love each other forever and ever
Peyton gives her a kiss on the forehead and turns the light out and leaves.
When she gets downstairs she hears a knock at the door. When she answers the door Jake is standing there. He immediately gives her a kiss.
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there I healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holding on, I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you
Jake- We're going to start packing tomorrow so that we can move in with you…I can't wait to start a family with you Peyton. We are going to have a wonderful life together.
He kisses her again but all Peyton can think about is Lucas.
Peyton- I can't wait Jake.
The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life
Lily and Spencer are still sitting on the beach. He is holding her closely. Jeremy and Summer are walking holding hands. She sees Lily and Spencer together.
Summer- Oh my God….He is falling for her.
Jeremy- That's Lily
Summer- I cannot believe he is with her….She ruined my life…He cannot be with her.
Jeremy is hurt by this because Lily is his friend.
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain is there healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holding on I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you
Emily is still sitting in the chair by the table. Nathan walks over to where she is and takes her hand.
Nathan- I am so sorry Emily.
Emily- What else is there Nathan…What else do you have to tell me?
Nathan- Brooke is pregnant….
Emily- Brooke is going to have your baby…
Nathan- I am so sorry I wish there was something I could say or do to make this situation better but I can't.
Emily- You can pretend like this child isn't yours Nathan….We can pretend like it never happened….Please…Do this for me Nathan? I love you so much please do this for us…for our relationship….(She has tears in her eyes and she kisses him) I need you to do this for me.
Nathan doesn't say anything. He looks into her eyes and tries to find the right words but at this point in time he was at loss for the right thing to say.
I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be ok
Brooke and Chase are standing inside his house.
Chase- I want you to get the hell out of my house Brooke
Brooke- Chase…
Chase- You cheated on me
Brooke- we were having our problems
Chase- So you decided to be a whore and sleep with the first guy who would give you some….
Brooke- Don't do this
Chase- You were right we are through so you and your soon to be bastard child better get out of my house before I throw you out….We could've had everything Brooke but now I want nothing to do with you….
Brooke does as she is told and leaves. She is crying hysterically now as she walks to her car.
Brooke- Don't worry baby your daddy loves you that is all that matters….
The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home
Nathan is still staring at Emily.
Nathan- I can't do that Emily
Emily- Do you love Brooke?
Nathan- not like I love you but I can't be my father I refuse….I want you to know that I love you but I can't abandoned my child….I won't I'm sorry….but I hope you can still love me….
Emily stands up and kisses Nathan.
Emily- Be with me tonight Nathan….Let's forget all of our problems and just be together…. (He picks her up and carries her upstairs) I do love you Nathan….I always will….
