Love Rectangle Plus One
17 - Someday.
(Song by Bryan Greenberg!)
Just so you all know, I'm posting a little recap. Okay, Lucas really wants to love Peyton but he is still confused over Brooke. "Wanting what you can't have." Brooke loves Jake, she is completely over Lucas. Jake loves Brooke as well but, since Nicki came back he knows it's just a matter of time before he has to leave Tree Hill and Brooke. Peytonloves Lucas and believeshe is the one. Naley are just about to get remarried. This is my second update of today, hopefully I can post the last chapter tomorrow. :) As always, Read, Enjoy and review!
Brooke and Peyton where in their room. It was the day of Nathan and Haley's second wedding. "So, what's up with you and Jake? I haven't seen him around these last two days?" Peyton asked helping Brooke do her hair. Brooke looked in the mirror.
"He's been busy with stuff." She didn't know why Jake was being so distant. It scared her because she didn't want to lose him.
"Oh," Peyton said noticing the stress in Brooke's voice. "Well, I'm sure that whatever it is it's important. Hey, do you think you could do my make-up?" It was the least she could do. She knew Brooke would love doing Peyton's make-up and maybe it would take her focus off of Jake.
"Sure!" Brooke said excited.
Lucas, Nathan and Jake were in already at the church. They got there early to discuss Nathan's surprise for Haley. "Okay, so you guys in?" Nathan asked. Jake and Lucas nodded. "Great" Nathan said. He walked outside.
Lucas looked over at Jake. Jake was lost in his own thoughts. "Earth to Jake!"
"Hun? Oh, what?" Jake said confused. Lucas frowned.
"What's up man?"
"Nothing." Jake lied. He was thinking about how he was going to tell Brooke that Nicki had been back for two days and she wanted Jenny. Jake knew what he had to do, leave.
"Ok. But when you want to talk, I'm here." Lucas said.
"Hey Luke, did you ever tell Peyton? About that thing that would hurt her?" Jake asked.
"No." Lucas replied. "It wasn't worth hurting her to make me feel less guilty." Jake nodded. "Look Jake, whatever this is, tell Brooke." Jake looked at him confused. "She's the one for you. She deserves the truth. God knows I've lied to her enough for the both of us." Lucas walked out to Nathan's car.
The wedding started, it was a beautiful day outside. The wind blew Haley's hair perfectly into place. Nathan thought she looked like an angel. He smiled at her. Brooke and Peyton watched smiling. Lucas and Jake stood next to Nathan; it was a great day.
The ceremony ended and the reception began. "Hey boyfriend!" Brooke said giving Jake a kiss.
"Hey," He said. He knew he had to tell her. "Brooke,"
"Hey you two!" Peyton said walking to them. "I'm going to have to steal Brooke" Peyton grabbed her best friend.
"What?" Brooke asked.
"Chris just called me." Peyton confessed.
"Keller?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, he said he missed me." Peyton said confused.
"Okay everyone," Nathan said getting the attention of everyone at the wedding. "Haley, this is my gift to you!" He smiled as he began singing. Lucas and Jake were his back up singers. Neither Lucas nor Nathan could carry a tune but it was so sweet Haley cried.
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.
Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
The song ended. "Okay, the real singer, Jake Jagielski! Everyone give it up!" Nathan and Lucas made their way off the stage.
Haley ran to her husband. "I love you so much Nathan." She said kissing him. He wiped away her tears.
"Not more than I love you Haley James-Scott." He smiled and kissed her forehead as they danced. The music started and Jake sang "Someday." It was fitting for the situation. Brooke smiled as she watched him. Jake knew he had to tell her.
It's the biggest storm in years they say,
Couldn't take a plane so I hopped a train,
Well, I'd like to stay, in a stormy winter's day,
So welcome back to you Someday
As the states roll by it's all so clear
I'm everywhere but never right here,
It's always the same, constant change
But I'll come back to you Someday
So close, so far, so long, so long the worldspin me away
I'll travel a night just to see your face,
the way you touch, the way you taste
Even if only for a day.
Cuz I'll come back to you Someday.
I speak the truth it's all I know.
As your tears fall to the snow,
And we both know tonight that I can't stay
But I'll come back to you Someday.
So close, so far, so long the worldspin me away
So close, so far, so longthe worldspin me away
So close, so far, so long the worldspin me away
"Hey" Jake said walking to Brooke. She gave him a kiss.
"That was so sweet." Brooke smiled in his arms.
"It's time to see who gets married next!" Haley yelled. "Everyone ready to see who's getting the bouquet?" She called over Brooke, Peyton and the rest of the girls.
"Wait Brooke." Jake said stopping her. Brooke looked at him confused. "I have something to tell you." Haley counted down in the background. She threw the flowers over her head. Haley was very bad at throwing. The flowers landed on the staircase above Brooke and Jake. They fell and Jake caught them. Everyone laughed and Brooke smiled at him.
"Are you going to ask me to marry you?" Brooke joked. Jake lowered his head.
"I doubt it." A voice said from behind them. Brooke turned to see who it was. Nicki.
"What are you doing here?" Brooke asked. Nicki put her arm around Jake's shoulders.
"Jakie didn't tell you? Oh, I've been here for days! I'm here for my family. Jake and Jenny." Nicki smiled at Brooke. Brooke looked at Jake. How could he have not told her? Nicki took the flowers from Jake. "Looks like these are mine, just like Jake and Jenny."
Brooke looked at Jake one last time. She shook her head and turned to leave the reception.
"I can't believe Nicki showed up like that!" Haley screamed. "It was perfect and then she ruined everything!" Haley said angrily. Nathan held his wife's hands in his own.
"It's still perfect because, I'm here with you." Haley smiled. She loved that man so much.
Brooke was sitting in front of her old house. "Can I sit?" Jake asked. Brooke looked up at him. He sat down and looked at her. She turned to him and kissed him. He kissed her back; it was hard to do but he had to stop. "Brooke." She put her head in her hand and started crying. He moved in close to her and rubbed her back while she cried. "I love you beautiful." He told her. Brooke shook her head. "Yeah, I do." Jake reassured her. "That's what makes this so hard. Nicki, I can't let her take Jenny."
"I thought she gave up custody." Brooke said trying to wipe her tears away; she got all but one. Jake wiped it away and hugged her close.
"She can still get her. I can't let that happen Brooke." He said. Brooke nodded.
"You're leaving." She said. He nodded. "I want to go with you," She said.
"You can't Brooke." He held her hand. "You have graduation in less than a week and then there is New York. You can't just leave your life for me."
"Jake, you are my life. You and Jenny." She pleaded. Jake hugged her.
"Brooke, I love you and I want the best for you. I don't want you to give up your dreams. I'm always going too have to hid from her. I want more than that for you Brooke." His eyes started to water and he felt dumb. He didn't want her to see him cry.
"Jake," Brooke started.
"I'm leaving. I'm going to go get Jenny and then, I'm gone." He told her.
"Tonight?" Brooke's heart broke even more. Jake nodded and stood up. Brooke stood up as well. She wanted to protest but he stopped her. He gave her a kiss and hugged her tight.
"Bye Brooke Davis. I'll come back to you, someday." He walked away as he choked back his own tears.
It's almost over! Tear Tear! Well, as you all probably already know I will write a second part to this fic, it's called: Write Of Hearts, Lies, And Friends.
NOTE: Not sure if those are the actual lyrics to Someday. I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere so I wrote what I heard.
NEXT: THE FINAL CHAPTER!
