"Hey Lucas"
"Jake, what are you doing here" Lucas said shocked to see Jake standing on his porch with Jenny holding his hand.
"I heard about Brooke, I am so sorry Luke." Jake said with concern in his eyes, concern for Lucas.
"Thanks" Lucas looking away from Jake.
"How are you doing?"
"I've been better; I'm just taking it one day at a time you know. Pain comes in waves. Anyway how long are you here for?" Lucas asked eagerly trying to change the subject to lighter note.
"Um actually I'm not sure, you know there is always the problem of Nikki" Jake said sitting down on the chairs Lucas had on the porch.
"Are you going to see Peyton, I know she would love to see you. And I'm guessing she needs a distraction right now away from everything that happened. We all do." Lucas said staring down at the floor.
"Yeah, I don't know. I don't want to see her just to leave her again. You know, I don't want to cause her anymore hurt right now." Jake said.
"Yeah, Look at Jenny though she has gotten so big in less than a year." Lucas said walking over and picking Jenny up.
"Hey little girl, how you been?" Lucas said, playing bouncing Jenny a little in his arm with a smile on his face. It was the first smile that Lucas had on his face in a while.
"Well I think I'm going to go see Peyton" Jake said standing up.
"If you want Jenny could stay here with me. I mean I think you and Peyton should have some alone time after not seeing each other for so long." Lucas said turning his attention to Jake.
"Are you sure, I mean I don't want to any inconvenience to you" Jake said with a questioning look on his face.
"Yeah, I mean it will give up a chance to catch, Right little girl" Lucas said looking towards Jenny.
"Okay, I won't be long."
"Take you're time, she needs you Jake."
"I know, well you be good for Luke." Jake said walking on to Jenny and giving her a kiss on her cheek.
After Jake brought Jenny's stuff into Lucas room and said goodbye again, He and Lucas decided he would pick Jenny tomorrow morning.
After Jake finally left Lucas went into the garage and got out the crib that his mom had saved from when he was little, the one she would use when Jake had to work at the dinner and had no one to watch Jenny.
After laying Jenny down Lucas noticed she had fallen asleep almost right away, so he decided to read the letter Brooke had wrote him.
Reaching over to the night stand that had the envelope with Lucas written in Brooke's hand writing on it, opening the envelope he noticed the letter was on pink scented paper.
Lucas laughed to himself, only Brooke would make a goodbye letter bright and colorful. Lucas pulled out the pink paper and with it came a strip of paper. Lucas turned the paper over to find, they where pictures of him and Brooke.
It wasthe pictures they had taken at the mallphoto boothright after they had started going out again. Lucas smiled when he saw the pictures of them smiling, kissing and makingfunny faces. He remembered that day, it was the day Brooke decided she needed a whole new wardrobe.
Her excuse was "New relationship, New clothes". When they got to the mall Brooke forced him into the photo booth and also made him carry the million bags she had from the car.
Lucas smiled at the memory, Brooke could make anyone, especially him do anything she wanted. All she had to do was smile and Lucas would cave.
Getting back to the letter, Lucas opened up the folded pink paper and read Brookes words that said,
Lucas,
If you're reading this, well then I'm dead. If you're tomorrow (I hope not considering we are still in high school) or fifty years from now, Then Id probably be really old and have wrinkles. Anyway the point is no matter what year you're reading this I want you to know that I loved you and always will, no matter if we where together or hated each other.
I always loved you. I don't want you to cry, I always hoped you die before me not to be selfish just so you wouldn't have to morn me. I want you to know I always pictured us married with children (which we probably are considering I'm pregnant). There aren't any words to describe how happy you made me, I love you and always will Lucas. Always remember that.
Always you're Cheery, Brooke.
Reading the Letter made Lucas miss Brooke so much more then he had within the week or so, she was always able to make a sad moment cheery and funny with one of her comments or jokes. He couldn't believe that she actually pictured their future.
Brooke always seemed to be someone who lived in the moment and never worried about the future, but after all this time it seemed that people could still surprise you.

Peyton was lying on her bed with pictures of Brooke in her hand, she was so lost and alone without Brooke, she was the one person she could always count on no matter what. Well except for a part of last year.
The guilt of what she did to Brooke was killing Peyton even more now that she was gone. All Peyton could think about was that she should have looked back, why didn't she.
She could sit their all night and think but in the end she still wouldn't have an answer. Her thoughts and anger towards herself were interrupted by the sound of someone knocking on her bedroom door. When she turned she almost fell off when she saw who was standing in the doorway.
"Jake."
