Hey everyone, first of all thanks so much for all the reviews!
Second… I'm sorry I took so long to update… I wasn't… inspired at all and with college and life, everything got a little too much for me :P…
Anyway… here's the next chapter… I personally think it's no good… but it's the way I want things to go…. Everything will turn out well, you'll see…
"The most important thing: Happiness"
"Brooke?" he said.
Brooke lifted up her head… she hadn't noticed there was someone standing there. And of all the people in the world, it had to be Lucas.
"Hey" she said, clearing a little her throat and whipping some tears from her cheek, so he wouldn't see them.
"What are you doing here, it's kind of late" he asked.
"Uhm… I know, I just went out for a walk, what are you doing here?"
He walked to the bench and took a seat next to her. They were both looking at the water, it was really dark and calm, and it was like if they were the only people in the world, just them.
"Yeah, I was tired of shooting hoops and decided to cool of walking, and ended up here" he said.
Suddenly silence attacked them, no one said a word for a few minutes, and they were both enjoying each other's presence.
Brooke missed spending time with him, though most of the time they spent together was full of kissing. It felt really good to feel his body next to hers again, some funny feelings were starting to revive in her, the kind of feelings she didn't feel when she was with David.
Lucas didn't know what to do, or say…. He was sitting next to the love of his life, the one who was going to spend the rest of her life married to some other dude… cause there was no chance that she would reject him, why in earth would she do something like that, David was her boyfriend now, and she loved him very much, so much that she let him come all the way to Tree Hill, too her best's friend wedding.
"Are you cold?" he tried asking, they were both so quiet that he thought maybe something was up with her.
"You want to know when the last time I was here was?" she said, totally ignoring his previous question…
"Uhm… I..." he started but Brooke interrupted him
"Almost six years ago, I think… a cold night like this" she said and crossed her arms near her body, she was getting cold "the last night we saw each other"
"The last night we spoke" he added… he remembered that night as if had been yesterday; he played that scene in his head over and over again, every night. He couldn't tell if she was angry or not, he didn't know how to react…
"Yeah.. " she whispered
"Brooke, I…" Brooke again interrupted him.
"Do you think of that night, Luke?" she asked.
"Actually…. Yes, everyday" he admitted.
Brooke did too… She was pretty angry at him for breaking up with her, but still she fell in love with him all over again at the things he said, the way he cared, the way he would gave up his own happiness just to see her smile… though she didn't smile for over a month… all she did was crying, even when she arrived to Rome.
"Do you?" Lucas said
"Yeah, me too" she truly answered
"I'm sorry, Brooke… for how things ended, I…"
"You don't have to apologize, Luke"
"Yeah… you were really mad at me that night, and all I did was push you and walk away" he said
"Well… yes but, do you remember why you did it?"
"yes, because there was no chance that we could be together when you were on one side of the world and me on the other…"
After he said this there was a short pause, they were both thinking what to say next…
"Why didn't you asked me to stay?" she demanded, with tears now in her eyes.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Why didn't you ask me to go to California with you? If you loved me that much then you would have done everything to be with me… why didn't you?"
"That is why… I loved you, Brooke… hell I loved you like no one can ever love somebody, you have no idea, and I wanted you to be happy"
"I was happy with you" she said in a lower voice…
So what if they were yelling right now… there was no one around.
"No Brooke… I wasn't going to take your dream away"
"What dream, Lucas... I could have done some fashion anywhere, just to be with you"
"Do you regret going to Rome?" he said totally calm and looking right at her.
"What?" she asked…
"Do you regret going to Rome, moving there starting your life all over a gain meet this amazing guy there falling in love with him and …" he was about to say marrying him… but she didn't know about that yet "just answer the question, Brooke"
"I… no, I don't" she said
"So… was it that bad what I did to you?"
"I don't understand… are you happy?"
"I'm not" this words just slipped out of his mouth "I'm not happy Brooke… I made some bad decisions in my life, and the worst was letting you go… but I guess that if you are happy… then it wasn't that bad, right?" he said as tears fall from his eyes.
Brooke stayed quiet for a second and looked down…
"Who said I was happy?"
He looked at her confused, wasn't she happy… she had everything she always wanted, why wasn't she happy?
Brooke noticed he was brooding all over again… she shook her head… how could she said that… she was screwing things even more…
"I'm gonna… go" she said whipping tears away and standing from the bench…
"What? No, come on Brooke… what did you mean, you are not happy?"
"I'm sorry Lucas; I just can't do this right now" she said and started walking away…
Lucas stayed at the pier watching her leave...
Ok I think I'm gonna stop right here, I'll try to update once all my exams are over… that will be in two/three weeks..
