What We Had
Chapter 37
(Unsteady - X Ambassadors)
He put his hand on hers. (You have to tell someone. He can't get away with this.) Quentin said. Looking up at her. He felt this sudden feeling of rage and protection. Over the close friend he had made during his first few days of freshman year. His mind couldn't wrap itself around this revelation.
He had been friends with both of them. But connected instantly with Sam. They had been together. Practically glued to each other. Since freshman year. And now the image they portrayed of their relationship was clearly a lie. The idea of who Jack was had been permanently damaged. And now when he saw him all he would see was the monster he had become.
(No you can't. No one else knows. And that's the way I want to keep it. My dad, my grandpa Dan, my uncle Nathan, my uncle Skills, my uncle Mouth. If they knew they want to do something about it. They would hurt him or kill him. And I just want to forget about it.) Sam said. Looking back at him.
(He deserves to be punished and hurt for what he did to you. It was wrong it was horrible. I shouldn't have happened. Why are you keeping this baby.?) Quentin asked. Looking up at her.
(Unlike my biological parents. I won't just throw my child away. I know what it's like to feel unwanted and un loved. I have a chance to do something different. And be a mom to my child give them the life I didn't have. And that feels right to me. My baby isn't responsible for how it got here. All that matters is that it's coming. The only thing I care about is finishing school and being a mother to my child.) Sam said.
(You have my support. No matter what. As for you and Jack. Is that over.?) Quentin asked.
(Yes completely over he just doesn't know it yet.) Sam said.

Sometime Later
(Open your eyes.) Lucas said. Gazing over at Brooke.
Brooke uncovered her eyes and looked around.
The room was covered in candles and a mixture of red and white flowers. In the background music played softly.
(It was in this room. Many years ago. Did I realize what I had known but wasn't willing to admit. Which was that I was in love with you. You bring out all the good and redeeming qualities in me. You have stood by loved and supported me through everything and more. You're love and dedication. Has meant more then I will ever express. You are my sun, strength, belief. The greatest most dedicated mother, girlfriend, and friend. Anyone could ask for.)
(I've been waiting for the right moment to ask you this. And given all the changes we have going on in our life. This is the moment where I want and need to make sure you know. That this life we've built means nothing without you. Brooke Penelope Davis. Will you marry me.?) Lucas asked. Getting down on one knee. Bringing out the ring he had hidden.
(Yes. Of course Lucas. I love you so much.) Brooke said. Emotion thick in her voice.
Lucas slipped the ring on her finger. Taking her in his arms.
Leaning over kissing her.
She kissed him back
The two kissed for some time before separating.
(It's so beautiful in here. The candles, fireplace, and music. The champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. You did this all yourself.) Brooke said. Smiling up at him.
(It's all for you. You are my soulmate and best friend.) Lucas said. Caressing her face with his hand.
(There is nothing to focus on right now but you and me.) Lucas said.
Brooke leaned over kissing him.
He slowly started to undress her. Placing kisses everywhere he could reach.
She took off his shirt. Pulling him closer to her.
He picked her up. She wrapped her legs around him.
He carried her over to the bed.
Laying her down. Taking her shirt off. Slowly ridding her of the layers between them.
She pulled him down closer to her. Reconnecting their lips.
He slipped off the remaining layer separating them.
She dug her into him.
As he reconnected their lips.
Closing the gap between them.
