BROOKE'S POV

I woke up and saw a bright light flashing through my eyes.

"Will you please turn off your light? It's blinding me."

It suddenly went out. Then, I saw a person coming out of it.

"Keith?"

"Hi Brooke."

"Am I dead?"

"Not yet."

"What do you mean not yet?"

"Well, you will be if you choose to be."

"Why are you here Keith?"

"I'm here to show you something. Come with me."

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see."

We passed many doors. Everything I see is white. My clothes, Keith's clothes, the walls, the doors, everything!

Keith opened a door and said,

"Go inside." I went inside and saw that we are at Rivercourt, back In Tree Hill.

"Why are we here?" I asked

"Just wait."

Suddenly, we saw Lucas and Nathan walking toward us.

"Keith, come on. We got to hide."

"Don't worry. They will not see us. Just watch them."

I did what I was told to.

"So…how are things with you and Brooke?" Nathan said.

"I don't know man. I love her, I really do. But I just tend to screw up every time. And it seems like she doesn't let me all the way in. Like she always has this wall built up, not wanting to smash it."

"Luke, you have to understand. She went through a hard time. Give here time, she'll learn to trust you."

"I just hope so. I'm doing everything I can to show her I love her and that I'll never hurt her again. But she just can't believe me."

"Don't worry. She'll come around. I just feel it."

"Thanks man."

"Anytime Luke.

Keith stood up to walk out and I followed him. He opened another door and we went in. This time, we saw Haley and Lucas talking.

"HI Luke."

"Hi buddy."

"So...how are you and Peyton?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"Remember the State Championship?"

"Yah…what about it?"

"That was the time Brooke told me to go after Peyton, and I did it."

"And?"

"Now, I'm not so sure if I made right decision when I chose Peyton."

"Why?"

"I think that I was just so caught up with the moment, with the victory and everything. And at that time, I thought I loved Peyton. I mean, I do, just now the same way that I love Brooke."

"Then why did you do it?"

"'Cause I thought that was what Brooke wanted. For me to be happy. But I wasn't happy with Peyton."

"So, let me get this straight. You did it for Brooke."

"Yup."

"So what's the problem now?"

"The problem is, I still love Brooke. But I'm with Peyton, 'cause she thought that I thought that's what I want."

"But it's not?"

"It's not. The only thing I want is to be with Brooke. She's my life. She makes me smile. She makes me feel loved. She cheers me up. She's my complete opposite and that's what makes me love her more. Sure, Peyton is fun. But Brooke is the one I want to be with, until I grow old. And what hurts me the most is that I'm with Peyton. It hurts because she doesn't know it. It hurts because I think she doesn't want to know it. It hurts because I can't tell her that because she's with Chase. It hurts because I'm afraid that I might hurt her again when I tell her that. It scares and hurts me because she might not love me anymore. It hurts because I can't live without her, and she doesn't know it." By this time, Lucas is crying so hard. I have no idea he felt like that. It hurts me to see him cry. And now, I'm crying too.

"Come on Brooke." Keith said.

"What is this supposed to mean Keith? Is this want you want to show me?" I shouted at him.

"Yes, this is what I want to show you. Don't you understand? Lucas loved you the whole time. You're just always pushing him away."

"I'm pushing him away?! It's because he screws things up."

"You don't know how much regrets that."

"If he regrets it so much, then why did he choose Peyton?"

"You made him to. Even if he said he's not the he guy for you, he didn't stop fighting for you."

"Then why didn't he tell me?"

"Because he saw you happy with Chase. And that's all he wants. For you to be happy, even if it's not with him."

"I wasn't happy with Chase. I only felt happiness with Lucas. So what now?"

"I want you to realize Lucas never stopped loving you and he still loves you. And you need to go back to him."

"How?"

We walked and walked and suddenly I realized we are on a cliff. Then Keith pushed me over the cliff, making fall off. He shouted,

"Goodbye Brooke. Say hi to Lucas for me when you get back."
