No Happy Ending or Maybe So

Ch. 6- The Marriage

Brooke was absolutely a beautiful bride. She had designed her own wedding dress. It was tight fitted dress that flowed at the bottom. Peyton was so happy for her best friend, but little did she know that Julian had something up his sleeve.

Flashback:

Brooke is sitting on her couch drinking wine when Julian comes in the front door. She stands up motioning him to leave. "Boys aren't supposed to be here"

"Where's Peyton"

"Picking up the kids from Karen's, what are you doing here?" Brooke wanted answers. The boys were supposed to be at Nathan's.

"I need to talk to you about something." Julian looked like he had something very important to tell Brooke.

"What"

"I know that tomorrow is supposed to be your big day. It is the most important day in your life, but what kind of day would it be if you couldn't share it with your best friend. You guys have shared everything."

Brooke wasn't sure where he was going with this, "Yeah…Julian what's up?"

"I want to marry Peyton tomorrow after you get married. I've already called her dad and he is on his way here."

Brooke was surprised "What?"

"All of her friends will be there, and I don't know I'm ready to be her husband. We have waited so long." Julian really wanted to be married to Peyton. They had waited so long.

Brooke was a little skeptical of his motives. "Are you sure this has nothing to do with the fact that the two of you are moving here, and her ex boyfriend lives here too"

Julian shook his head. "It has nothing to do Lucas. I'm not jealous of him. I actually hope that Peyton will forgive him because before they were good friends. I want her to be happy. I love her and I want to be her husband, but I'm not the jealous type. Lucas could have had what I have, but he walked away. That's his problem not mine. Please Brooke will you share your day with us?"

"Have you talked to Peyton?"

"No I want it to be a surprise"

Brooke shook her head in disbelief, "She's not going to have a wedding gown although she's gonna have a damn fine maid of honor dress. Are you sure she'll go for this?"

Julian and Brooke sit down on the couch "She'll go for it. I know she will"

"Then I'll share my day with you." Julian hugs her.

"Thank you so much for this Brooke. You really are the best" He was so excited all of his dreams were going to come true. "Please don't tell Peyton"

"I won't. I really am glad that she found someone like you." Brooke couldn't believe how lucky Peyton had gotten with Julian. He really was an incredible guy.

The girls were at the church, and it was almost time for them to get ready. Brooke was so happy. Ethan was her everything.

Haley and Peyton looked amazing in their beautiful blue knee length dresses Brooke had made herself.

Julie and Lily were the flower girls, and Jamie and little Brody were her ring bearers.

Peyton walked over to Brooke who was looking into the mirror, "You ready best friend? This is going to be the best day of your life"

Brooke shook her head "Yeah I can't wait to be Mrs. Ethan Copeland" Brooke hugged her best friend "Thanks for always being there for me"

"No thank you" Peyton said as Haley came over and became part of the hug too.

The church was full with guest, and the girls were ready to walk down the aisle. Lily and Julie walked down the aisle throwing their petals, and then Jamie helped Brody down the aisle with the rings. Ethan was all smiles waiting to see his beautiful bride. His brother, Clark was his best man, and Nathan also stood by his side. They had become really close in the past few years. Haley walked down the aisle next, and Nathan couldn't take his eyes off of her. Then Peyton made her way down the aisle. Julian thought she was absolutely breath taking. Finally it was Brooke's turn. She smiled the whole way down as she made her way to Ethan.

The ceremony began as the Preached asked Ethan and Brooke to recite the vows they had written.

Ethan went first never taking his eyes off of Brooke "I know that it is so cliché to say that I never imagined finding someone like you, Brooke, but it is true. I wasn't even looking for love when you came in my life." He turned and looked at the crowd, "She was sick and had a big meeting she had to go to. She told me to give her some medicine and send her on her way, but she had pneumonia, and I had to put her in the hospital. She hated me, but after she said that I took such good care of her that I could call her if I wanted too, and of course I did. The rest is really history. I promise to be the man that you deserve for the rest of your days in sickness and in health…through the good and the bad…I'll be yours forever" Brooke had tears in her eyes. "I love you"

Brooke was next but she was already in tears, "I haven't ever been one for believing in forever, but there is a point in your life when you realize that dreams can come true, and there are such things as happy endings and I have found my because of you." Ethan wiped away Brooke's tears and Lucas couldn't take his eyes off of Peyton. "I love you Ethan Copeland and vow to you today to be there for you in sickness and in health…for better or worse…because you are my forever and my happy ending…I love you" They both smiled.

They each took turns placing the rings on each others fingers and the Preacher pronounced them husband and wife. They sealed it with a kiss. "Oh wait guys don't go anywhere because we have a surprise for you." She pointed to Julian and Peyton was somewhat suspicious of what was about to take place.

"Hi guys a lot of you don't really know me, but I'm Julian Baker and my fiancé and I would like to get married today." Julian looked at Peyton and she looked shocked.

"What?" Peyton glared at him. Lucas looked upset but decided to sit there and deal with his pain.

"I'm ready to be your husband, and Brooke wants to share her day with you."

"Brooke"

"Come on we can have two brides in one day" Brooke said happily.

"But what about" But before she could finish her sentence Julian pointed to Larry coming in the church. "Daddy"

"Hey baby girl" He hugged her. "I think you should marry this man. He's a good one." Larry smiled. He loved seeing his daughter so happy.

"Ok" She said with tears in her eyes. "Let's get married"

Julian screamed "Yeah"

They didn't worry about walking down the aisle or anything like that. They were more focused on each other. The preacher asked them to recite their vows.

Julian looked at Peyton "My vows are simple Peyton. You gave me more than I could have ever asked for. You gave me children, love, and hope. I wasn't the best person that I could have been before I met you, but you made me better. You changed me and I will always love you for that. I have waited for this moment for five years and now we finally have it. I promise not to lose sight of who we are and the love that we have for each other. I trust you and I cherish every single moment I am able to spend with you, and I can't wait to spend my lifetime with you. I love you"

Peyton had tears in her eyes "I don't know how I am supposed to follow something like that especially when I didn't even know we were getting married today." Lucas was so uneasy with all of this but he was handling it as Karen grabbed a hold of his hand. "I'll try though. I was a mess when I met you. I didn't know what I was going to do with my life or even where I was headed. You're the one that saved me" Peyton smiled. Lucas thought about all of the times he had saved her but Julian had saved her from him. "You brought me back to life and you made me believe in happily ever after and you made me realize what true love really was. I will always love you and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

They both said their I do's as Lucas closed his eyes wishing it was all just a dream. Julian had purchased rings the day before. He had everything planned out for their perfect day. They exchanged rings and then sealed their marriage with a kiss. Lucas couldn't take it anymore and he left the church when he saw Julian pick up Julie and Brody. They were the perfect family and it was all supposed to be his. Damn Someday…. He thought

The reception latest for a while, but Lucas cut out early. He couldn't handle see Peyton happily married with someone else.

At home he stared at his lap top looking at what he had been writing for her. The words meant nothing because he was never going to get Peyton back. He took the computer and threw it across the room. It broke into little bitty pieces all over the room. He sat on his couch and for the first time he cried like a baby because he knew he would never get his happy ending.

Brooke and Ethan left to catch the flight for their honeymoon. He was taking her to Hawaii, but they weren't going to do much swimming.

Karen had offered to watch Julie and Brody for the night, but Peyton wanted to spend their first night as a real married family together because the kids were after all everything to them.

Julian, Peyton, Julie, and Brody were in the car on their way to Brooke's. Pretty soon they would be moving into their new house and neither one of them could wait. Peyton was so excited about raising her family in the house her parents had bought to raise her in. "I love you" Peyton said as she stared at the man that had her heart.

"I love you too baby. This is the beginning of the rest of our lives." Julian smiled as he looked through the rear view mirror at his sleeping children.

"Nothing is going to ruin this for us Julian. We were meant to be together." She smiled and took his hand in hers. He smiled and kissed her hand.

His light turned green and he went to turn, but a big truck wasn't paying attention to the red light and before he could stop he slammed into the happy couple's car. Peyton screamed as the car flipped a few times and was crushed on impact.
