A/N-I was listening to this song and thought it went really well with the Leyton relationship. So here you are. first songfic so be nice
How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
It had been one year. One long year full of forgiveness and hiding and trying to get back to normal. One year wasted. She was right back to where she started. She lost her best friend and a guy she loved. And she still didn't have the one guy she needed.
I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack you suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Don't think it's too late
She had tried. Brooke acted like she was just throwing their friendship away on a whim. That hurt. But sitting on love, doing nothing? That ached. The feelings for him were pushing their way up, suffocating her. She didn't know why she had thought telling his girlfriend was going to help, but knew she had needed to tell her. And she didn't regret it. She didn't regret her choices. Just the results.
Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
gonna make it alright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow
gonna make it alright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
Sometimes she would wonder if she made the right choice back in Savannah. Maybe she should've convinced him to marry her. She did want that family. They probably would've been happy too. Just not in love.
Well I hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror
She sat alone in the library reminiscing. Their last few real conversations took place here. She had already condemned herself to death alone. Just as she had lived most of her life. But then he came in, as he stood above her, his bat raised, ready to face any danger to find her, she realized what he had been all along. Her savior. The one and only person who could save her from the world. From herself. The one who could keep her afloat right as she felt like she was going to drown. He had always known what she needed, and managed to get it to her. Because he was all she needed.

In the moments that she thought she was going to die she should've been scared. But instead she was peaceful. Because she knew he was there with her. Just like he was supposed to be. So she confessed to him what she had been denying from the first moment she laid eyes on him. And he didn't look shocked or angry. He looked-- accepting. As if he stopped hiding behind his girlfriend for a moment and finally came to terms with it. But he never got to respond. And when they tried to come back to it, the moment had passed.

But she broke out of her safe place and ended it with Jake. She forced herself to brave the ups and downs of love. To stop being passive and make something happen for herself. To be honest with herself. Eventually he would do the same.
