"Brooke…" Haley hugged her best friend and stroked her hair. "Brooke I don't know what to say"

"I don't either" Brooke sobbed into Haley's shoulder. "Why would he do something like that? I thought he loved me…"

"Brooke-I-"

"We're home" Nathan said, walking into the house. Both him and Lucas already knew about the video, and Lucas was dreading meeting Brooke.

"Nathan, lets go" Haley said.

"Ok" Nathan said, ushering his wife and Tristan out the door.

"Come on girly girl" Haley said to Emily. Nathan was carrying Dayna and Haley led Emily out the door. "We're gonna go have fun at the park, ok?"

"Ok!" Emily skipped out the door.

"Brooke, I can explain-" Lucas said the minute everyone left.

Brooke's eyes brimmed with tears. She opened her mouth to speak but couldn't get any words out. Lucas saw the thunder in her eyes and immediately felt his own eyes well up.

"Brooke, please say something" Lucas whispered.

"Say what?" Brooke whispered, her voice shaking with anger. "Give me an explanation? I can't say that. You have nothing to explain. Every possible gossip network explained it PLENTY to me, Lucas Scott"

"Brooke, I can SO explain-"

"Explain how you were in bed with another WHORE? How you can come home without your wedding ring on?" Brooke yelled. "I am so angry, Lucas, but above all, I'm so HEARTBROKEN. Look at this life we've built together. We are both incredibly successful people! We have two beautiful daughters and a stable family life. Why, why would you do this to me?" Brooke asked, tears now spilling over and running down her face. "Lucas I love you, and I thought you loved me, too!"

"Brooke I do love you, I was drunk and I-"

"Ok, so that's an excuse for it!" Brooke yelled.

"No, Brooke-"

"Lucas, this is how it's gonna be" Brooke said, her voice shaking. "I'm going to take Emily and Dayna and go to Sarasota and stay with my cousins. I'm going to file for divorce as soon as we get settled there. You are going to sign those papers and we are going to be DONE" Brooke said. "I am disgusted, humiliated, and heartbroken. And NO ONE messes with Brooke Davis" Brooke stormed out the door, to the swing behind the patio.

Lucas sat down and put his heads in his hands. Those tears he had been holding back ran down his face now. What had he done?

A few days later…

"Daddy, where aren't you comings with us?" Emily asked.

"Baby you and mommy and Dayna are gonna take a little trip to see people, ok? I'll be down here doing some important work. Be good, ok?" Lucas said.

"Can I have a kiss?" Emily asked, her big eyes welling up with tears. "I'll misses you daddy"

Lucas bent over and picked his daughter up. He kissed her hair and hugged her tightly. He felt tears well up again in his already bloodshot eyes. "I love you, ok?"

"I love you too, Daddy"

"Hey, Brooke?" Lucas asked softly.

"Yeah?" Brooke looked up. Lucas felt his heart jump. She had been crying for nights on end, yet somehow, she never looked more beautiful.

"Can I see Dayna for a second?"

"Yeah" Brooke handed their daughter to him.

"Dayna, I love you, ok?" Lucas told the baby, kissing her cheek. "Be good"

"I can't believe you're doing this, Brooke. For how long?" Peyton asked, wiping tears.

"Just 2 weeks" Brooke said. "I'm coming back down. I've already found a really nice place just 10 minutes from here"

"Brooke, don't do this" Haley said. "I'm begging you, don't do this. Work this out with Lucas, Brooke…you two are too good to end it like this"

"Haley, don't make this any harder than it already is" Brooke whispered, hugging her. She led Emily and Dayna to the car and strapped them both in. Waving a goodbye, she started the car.

Lucas stood there and watched his life, his love, the reason he breathed, drive away.

"Mommy, whys are you crying?" Emily asked.

"Oh, Emmy, I-"

"Do you misses daddy?"

"Yes, I do" Brooke said, letting her tears spill over. "A lot"

"Will we sees him soon?"

"I hope, Emily, I hope…"
