Chapter 6
The dreaded day that both Lucas and Brooke feared had finally arrived. Brooke was going to leave tonight at 7pm and that would be the last of Brooke that Lucas would see unless she came back for school but that was still three months away.
Lucas and Brooke were cuddling on the couch. They both put on fake smiles trying to enjoy the time that was left.
'Lucas…' Brooke hesitated. 'Is this going to work?'
'I really don't know for once in my life Pretty Girl.' Brooke was crying and sobbing. Lucas himself wanted to cry but he had to be strong for Brooke. He rubbed her back in comforting circles and they sat there for the rest of the morning in complete silence.
'Are you hungry?' Lucas asked Brooke.
'Not really.'
'So I was thinking about what we could do for the summer.'
'Okay. What?'
'Well we could start by writing or calling each other. And when my mom comes back and if there is time in between her coming back and you coming back then I was going to come and visit you.'
'What about if I don't come back?'
'I haven't figured that one out yet.' Brooke nodded softly. 'How about we just go as if you are coming back soon and if not then we can figure it out when you know for sure.'
'Thank You.'
'For what?'
'For giving us a chance and willing to make this work even if I may not see you again…' Brooke couldn't finish. Just thinking of her leaving broke her heart into a million pieces. Again Lucas was there comforting her and rubbed her back and stroked her hair. Finally she stopped crying and she stood up.
'Come on boyfriend. We are going to hang out with P. Sawyer. She needs us. Anyway those love birds (referring to Nathan and Haley) aren't going to comfort her.'
'Ok. I like it when you call me boyfriend.'
'I like calling you that too.' She gave him a small kiss and they headed out the door, over to Peyton's house.
They arrived at Peyton's place ten minutes later. Like everyone else in Tree Hill, they just went in without knocking. They found Peyton on her bed drawing, but had plenty of Kleenexes on her bed.
'Peyton…' Brooke said picking up the garbage. Peyton didn't even look up.
Brooke put her finger under Peyton's chin and lifted it up so that Peyton would be looking into her eyes. 'Peyton. You have to be strong. For me and for everyone else. He is going to be back. Anyways what are you drawing?'
Flashback
'I have to go.'
'What? No don't. Stay here.'
'Nikki found Jenny.'
'What do you mean?'
'She has her Peyton.'
'What? How?' At that moment Peyton felt her heart drop. Not only for her, for Jake too.
'I don't know...I don't...I have to go. I have to find her.'
'I'll go with you.'
'No you can't.'
'But---'
'Peyton…You can't' She was losing the one man she truly loved.
End of Flashback
Peyton was drawing Jake saying 'No. You can't'.
'So that's why you not totally into doing other stuff.' Brooke sighed. 'Peyton…I know you may not like me for saying this but I knew you loved him but you can't let that bring you down. We need you Peyton. I'm the one leaving today and I have to take care of you. You're suppose to take care of me, that's what you've always done.'
Peyton nodded. 'You want to get out of here B. Davis?'
'Yah. Where do you want to go?'
'How about you, me and Luke go over to Tric to talk and have fun. Invite Nathan and Haley also. It will be kind of like a party for you leaving except less hectic.'
'Ok. Luke can you go get Nathan and Haley? We'll meet you there.'
'Yah sure.' Luke gave a small peck to Brooke and kissed Peyton on the forehead. 'You take care of yourself now.' Peyton smiled and Lucas went out the door over to his house.
'So I see that you and Luke have finally figured it out?'
'Yah. Wait what do you mean by finally?'
'It's been obvious for months that he liked you and that you still had feelings for him.'
Brooke smiled. 'Hoes over Bros?'
'Stud over Buds.'
