A/N: I know that I haven't updated in a long time. I have been busy with my other stories and I wanted this chapter to be just right. This will be a turning point in the story for a lot of the characters. I hope this chapter was worth the wait…Read on!
Liz woke up to Noah's naked body lying next to her. She covered him with the sheet as gently as she could. She smiled at the memory of last night. It was filled with hot, passionate sex. Liz loved how close Noah and her were at this moment. She wouldn't trade him for the world. He was great with Jaiden and made Liz feel safe. She got out of bed and searched for something to wear. She wasn't looking for something fancy considering she was going to have to change later for the wedding. Haley called Liz last night to tell her that she would bring Jaiden to Brooke's. The ringing of her cell phone interrupted Liz from putting on her pants.
"Hello?" Liz said pulling up her sweat pants.
"She not coming!" Brooke said frantic on the other line.
"Who's not coming?" Liz asked pulling on a long sleeve shirt
"Peyton! She's backing out."
"What are you talking about?"
"She's not here yet!"
"Brooke, Peyton will be there soon. I am on my way just try and stay calm."
"But what about…"
"Brooke everything is fine. Every detail is covered. You have everything covered."
"Your on your way?"
"I'm walking out the door now."
Liz hung up her phone and put on a baseball hat. She wasn't to worried about her hair. It was going to be done at Brooke's along with her make-up. Brooke had the world's best make-up and hair artist coming in to do everything. It was being paid by her parents along with everything else. It was a way of saying sorry we cant make it to the wedding. Liz walked over to Noah.
"See you at the church." She said kissing him.
"Bye baby." He said kissing her back. Liz walked out of the house and drove to Brooke's
Karen was at the café finishing up the cake for the wedding. She had to be at Brooke's in a few minutes. She heard the bell above the door ring.
"Sorry were closed for the day." She said without looking up.
"Even for an old friend." A voice said.
Karen looked up and saw Andy in the doorway.
"Andy." Karen said walking over to him and embracing him in a tight hug.
"Hi Karen." He said taking in her scent.
"It is so good to see you." She said taking a step back to look at him.
"You too."
"Coffee?"
"No, thanks."
Things were awkward between them all of a sudden. Karen thought how good he looked after all these years.
"So today is Lucas' wedding." Andy said thinking of something to say.
"I know, it's scary." Karen said putting the last decoration on the cake.
Andy helped her carry the cake to the car and they both went there own direction.
Liz pulled up to Brooke's house relieved to see that Peyton was already there.
"What took you so long?" Brooke practically yelled at her.
"Traffic." Liz said simply
"You live less then a mile away."
Liz looked around and saw that everyone was already there. Liz walked up to Brooke and engulfed her into hug.
"Everything is fine."
"I just can't help but think that something will go wrong."
"Nothing will go wrong." Haley said trying to comfort Brooke.
They all got their hair and make-up done. The photographer took pictures of the process. After they all slipped into there dresses. Everyone looked perfect. Jenny and Jaiden looked adorable in their dresses. Everyone gathered in the limo and took off in the direction of the church.
Lucas paced the room rehearsing his vows in his mind.
"Luke please calm down you're making me nervous." Jake said
"I cant. I'm getting married today."
"Having second thoughts?" Nathan asked.
"No way. I love Brooke."
"We know."
"Give some advice on marriage Nate." Lucas demanded.
"I may not be the best person to ask."
"Why not, you're the only one married in this room."
"Never go to bed angry." Nathan said thinking of something off the top of his head. Lucas stopped pacing to give his brother a look.
"Lucas every marriage is different. Just take one day at a time." Keith said saving Nathan. Lucas looked at all of them and let out a sigh.
"Everyone line up." Someone said from the church said, poking their head in the room.
"This is it." Lucas said fidgeting with his hands.
Everyone was lined up behind the door. Brooke tried to keep herself from crying. She looked down at her perfect wedding dress that fit perfect to her body. The door opened and music filled her hears. Jaiden and Jenny went first. She heard the crowd let out an "aaww" when they walked into the church. Liz went then Haley followed by Peyton. She was next. She felt a reassuring hand on her shoulder. She turned and looked at Karen standing next to her. Brooke centered herself in the doorway. She looped her arm with Karen's. The sound of the wedding song let Brooke this was her cue. The people in the pews stood up. Brooke looked up and her gaze was caught with Lucas. Tears silently ran down her cheeks. The walk down the aisle was the longest in her life. At the end she turned to Karen and kissed her cheek and finished her walk with Lucas. She saw that he had tears in his own eyes. The day of her wedding was finally here. So far it was everything that she ever dreamed of. It was time for the vows. Lucas started with tears in his eyes.
" Brooke I knew I loved you the day I saw the world in your eyes and your eyes in the world. I know that love is fragile and I promise to be careful. The easiest decision in my life was the day I decided I wanted to marry you. I love you Brooke, no questions asked. You Brooke Penelope Davis are my everything." Lucas stated wiping the tears from Brooke's eyes. She composed herself.
"Lucas Eugene Scott. You are my knight and shining armor. You make me feel safe in this unsafe world. You changed me for the better. Without you I would still be the girl was I in high school. You saved me from myself and for that I am forever grateful. I love you with everything I am and I promise to never let you down. I love you so much and I am proud to be you're soon to be wife." Brooke finished and squeezed Lucas hands.
They said their I do's and the priest finished with
"I now present you Mr. and Mrs. Scott. You may now kiss the bride." Brooke squealed and jumped slightly at Lucas. They wrapped their arms around each other and kissed. The crowd cheered and her bride's maid wiped the tears from there eyes. Lucas and Brooke turned to every one and walked down the aisle together once the music started. That was that, Brooke was now married to the man of her dreams. The grooms men and brides maid followed after Brooke and Lucas. After everyone shook hands and gave hugs they all went back into to the church and an hour and half worth of pictures were taken. Everything at this moment was perfect.
