Chapter 6 Dreaming

"Brooke wake up."

Brooke opened her eyes and was shocked to see Jaclyn in her room.

"Jaclyn?"

"Of course its me loser. God did you forget your own sister?"

"Of course not. But I'm shocked that you're here."

Jaclyn rolled her eyes. "Brooke you aren't that dumb. I'm not here, here. You're dreaming."

"Why are you in my dream now?"

"I've been watching out for you."

"Oh."

"Yeah. You changed Brooke you quit drinking and partying to be somebody different. But you went back to your old ways."

"I'm trying to get rid of the guilt that I feel for not knowing what Tyler did to you."

"Brooke you can't keep feeling bad about that. No one knew and that's how I wanted it. I didn't want anyone to worry and most of all I didn't want anyone else involved because I knew Tyler would hurt them too. Maybe I didn't do the right thing."

"Maybe, Jaclyn if you had told someone then they could have done something to stop him and you'd still be here."

"You don't know that. I broke up with Tyler and he still found a way to get to me. Now listen I won't watch you destroy your life just because you feel guilty or you're angry with me. You have to move on and try to do something that will make you happy."

"You're right."

Jaclyn laughed "Of course I am silly. Now I gotta go. But Brooke remember it wasn't your fault, and you're my sister I just wanted to protect you."

"Ditto." Brooke said as Jaclyn started to leave. "Jaclyn."

"Yeah."

"I love you, you'll always be my best friend."

Jaclyn smiled. "Back at ya."

Brooke opened her eyes and smiled, for the first time in weeks she felt good.

Brooke walked up to Lucas a few days later at school. "Hey Luke."

"Hey don't you look happy today." He said commenting on the smile on her face.

"I am. I had a dream last night about Jaclyn. She told me that I can't ruin my life. I need to start over and be happy."

"Now Peyton and I have been telling you that forever, but Jaclyn had to tell you that."

Brooke rolled her eyes. "What can I say, Jaclyn's always gotten through to me." The bell rang. "Hey Luke walk me to class?"

He smiled "Of course."

Lucas couldn't get Brooke and Jaclyn off his mind. Even that night while he was trying to go to sleep he kept seeing the two of them. They were all at the Rivercourt , the two of them were laughing and talking about normal girl stuff. Then Jaclyn gets up and walks over towards him.

"Hey gorgeous." He said

"Hey Luke, you know I love you right?"

"Yeah of course." He said

"Good. Now that I'm gone I want you to be happy, I don't want you to mope around and be sad. You need to move on with your life." Lucas nodded. Jaclyn looked over at Brooke and then back at Lucas. "You do you think my sister is pretty? Of course you do, she's my sister after all. I want the two of you to be happy." She hugged him then kissed his cheek and walked off.

Lucas woke up and felt a sense of peace that he hadn't felt in weeks. But he also felt confused. Was Jaclyn telling him to date Brooke? Would that be weird for both of them? They were finally getting to be good friends, the two of them dating would be weird. Now he was confused and frustrated. Tonight was going to be a long night.
