All I Wanted
Chapter 7
Author's Note : When inspiration strikes you follow it. I didn't plan for all the events that happened in the last chapter to take place but i'm excited to share with you all the rest of what i have planned. Thank you for the support. Review!
The pregnancy that happened all those years ago. Took place at an early stage. So Brooke and I told no one about it. She was only a 6 or 7 weeks. I will never forget it though. The way my heart sunk. The look on Brooke's face she begged the doctor to keep looking for a heartbeat. The doctor followed her request and looked two more times.
"There is no heartbeat. I'm truly sorry." The female doctor in the white coat told us.
...
I was given a time frame. The miscarriage would simply be like a heavy period. Cramping heavy bleeding. Pain in my stomach and back. I felt tired and weak. Once it was all over. And Lucas left because i practically pushed him out the door.
I took a bath. Turned on some music. And cried. Until i was empty. Then packed my bags and left Tree Hill behind me.
...
Hours Later
In the morning
I learned a long time. That you can sex with anyone. You don't have to like them or be attracted to them. Sometimes it's just better then being alone. But making love to someone requires feelings and vunerability. And openess provided because the two of you know each other and connect on a deeper level.
Meaningless sex was all i ever knew. Then Lucas happened. And he changed me. Got into my heart. I have never been the same.
I make it a point to get my hotel rooms away from neighbors because i like my privacy. When unplanned nights like last night take place. I want what went on between us to stay private.
But i will admit I'm sore. Exhausted. And blissfully happy. At least until i have to leave this room.
Brooke leaned over touching his face with her hand.
"I love you so much." She whispered quietly. Climbing out of bed as she pulled on his shirt and headed towards the bathroom.
Awhile Later. She got dressed.
"Please don't hate me." Brooke pleaded. Leaving an evelope with his name on it on her side of the bed. Grabbing ahold of her luggage as she left checked out of the hotel room.
...
When Lucas awoke. He instantly remembered the events of last night. And reached for Brooke only to find emptiness. He gazed around the room. All evidence of her was gone. He knew this was coming. That she would leave again. He wanted to be the kind of man who lived in the moment and just be. But that wasn't him. He tried to emotionally prepare himself this moment. Yet he was still hurt.
He soon found the evelope on her side of the bed. It had his name on. Sprayed with the perfume he had bought for her.
Lucas sighed deeply. Opening the envelope and unfolding the letter she had left behind for him. Then started to read.
Dear Lucas
I meant what i said when i told you last night. That i couldn't stand the idea of having to say goodbye to you again. Which is why i'm leaving you this though we both knew my leaving was happening. And you rightly so had reservations. We agreed no promises or regrets. Everything we shared last night in this room will stay with me. For the rest of my life.
I only know true happiness and love because you showed me it.
All my life i've let various forces take control and mold me into the verison of Brooke they could tolerate.
Falling in love with you. Made me a better person. It pushed me beyond my comfort zone. Gave me the freedom to be myself and like the person i am.
I want to thank you for loving me. Truly seeing me.
And lastly letting me be apart of you're world.
I will always love you Lucas Scott. But we have reached a crossroads and the only fair thing to do is the most painful on my end.
I'm letting you go. Find the lifelong love you deserve and the peace of mind you crave.
Brooke
Lucas cluthed the letter tightly. He took a few breaths. Trying to process what he just read. When he was able to gather his thoughts got out of bed and redressed somewhat.
Lucas got out his cellphone and called Brooke's cellphpne number.
Instead of her voicemail message. He simply got an operator.
The number you have called has been disconnected.

Weeks Later
"Now this is what i like to see. You hard at work. Focused on business and the clothing line." Victoria said. As she entered her daughter's office.
"I'm too busy to argue and stress over any mistakes you always point out. I have a business meeting about expanding the line in ten minutes. Leave my office please." Brooke replied.
"So sentive these days. You need to be more tough if you're talking about expanding the company." Victoria stated.
"I grew up with Ted and Victoria Davis as parents. And survived to tell about it. I can handle anything else." Brooke proclaimed.
Victoria rolled her eyes as she left the office.
Brooke focused her gaze on her laptop she was checking in with updates from the Tree Hill news letter and entertainment news. When she saw Lucas's name as a breaking story. She quickly clicked the link.
