Hello everybody! Can I just say how extraordinary and fabulous you all are for deciding my story was worth proceeding onto chapter 2! Ummm…this was originally meant to be a one parter, but luckily for you fellas I enjoyed writing it so I decided to take a shot at Lucas's pov. I would like to carry it on but I'm short on a ideas. So you guys can shoot a few inspirational tid-bits at me! Which would mean REVIEWING!
Ps- Lucas (unfortunately) does not belong to. Nor do Brooke Davis or Haley James. As far as I know they are in the current possession of the WB.
Lucas Scott is thinking. He is thinking long and hard.
Brooke knows. Of course she does. He realises that she isn't as stupid and superficial as people claim she is. She's actually quite brilliant. And very observant. He knows she knows.
He knows because he's spent the last year of his life, going to the movies with her, talking to her, laughing with her. He's spent the last 3 months of his life planning a wedding with her for Gods sakes. He knows her almost inside out and it works two ways. It would be foolish to expect her not to notice.
It scares him that he's about to marry a girl who knows so much about him yet doesn't know him at all. Haley knows him. How could she not? He hasn't just spent the past year with her. He's spent half his life with her. Making snowmen, climbing trees, beating her at basketball, sharing knowledge with her, sharing problems with her, sharing everything with her. Reading books with her, walking to school with her, falling in love with her. And now he's bout to promise his life to a girl who isn't Haley James.
He likes Brooke a lot. She's great. She's really great. Everyone says they're a great couple. But for some reason there's something about that word that annoys him immensely ."Great!" It sounds so phoney. Brooke is lovely though. She's full of life and colour. She's witty and sexy and a lot smarter than people think.
So why doesn't he feel anything above a great deal of "like"?
Then there's Haley. Funny, goofy, clever, naïve, neurotic, amazing, beautiful Haley. See? He cant even put into words how incredible she is without sounding stupid.
But he loves her. The way he feels about Haley James is the one certain thing in his life these days. He loves the way she say's exactly what she thinks. Her complete and utter honesty. The way she gets so passionate about things. Her innocence and purity. The way she isn't afraid of life. The way she is never afraid to be her complete and utter self. That dumb lip biting thing she does when she gets nervous. How her face lights up when she talks about music or books or teaching.
He loves her because there isn't another soul on this planet who's ever made him half the person he is then when he is with her.
To put it another way. He loves every little last thing about her. Every annoying neuroses, every silly bad habit. It isn't a misplaced affection love. And it isn't because she's unattainable. It is a very simple and very true love. It is honesty and goodness and the best of intentions. And it's the best kind of love. But the worst kind for Lucas. Because it isn't mutual. And it hurts. It hurts more and more everyday.
So he's thinking long and hard.
Because it's not just hurting him. It's hurting Brooke.
This morning he spoke to Haley in Brookes front yard. And he held her. For a long time. He's scared it was the last time. And he saw Brooke watching them from the window. The pain in her eyes was unmistakeable. He knows because he sees it in his own eyes whenever he looks in a mirror. The pain of unrequited love. When he saw Brooke he almost let go of Haley since he knows how she's feeling. Its what he feels whenever he sees Haley with Nathan. But he couldn't. He couldn't let her go. He still cant let her go. For once he was selfish and he held on . And while he was holding on he felt a hope. Because Haley's nails were digging into his back. Her slender arms were wrapped tightly around him and her hands were clinging on. And in a moment he understood. She couldn't let go either.
And that's why he's thinking long and hard.
Because until that moment in time he had been resigned to marrying Brooke. He didn't like the fact it was hurting her, but he figured if she really had a problem with being second best she would call off the wedding herself. He didn't think he had a hope in hell when it came to Haley James. But this morning had proved him wrong.
Was he willing to risk it all on the smallest of chances?
