Chapter 2 – Get Out While You Can

There he was, laying down on his bed, staring at the ceiling without blinking. Around him everything was dark. No lights, no sounds. Silence. He wasn't able to close his eyes and sleep. Everytime he closed them, he imagined who it was all going to be. He viewed Peyton and himself walking through the park without saying a word. Once he said what he had to she rapidly ran away. It hurt to much. He just couldn't do it, he couldn't amend things with peyton even though he was doing it for Brooke, he couldn't. He got up, and walked to the kitchen where he opened the fridge and grabbed a beer. The lights went on. Her mother was at the door. 'Anything wrong Lucas?' she asked worridly. 'I see you can't sleep, me neither'.

'I can't sleep mom, i don't know what's gotten into me, but i close my eyes and i think about Peyton'

'So that means you haven't spoken to her yet?'

'No, i haven't, and i can't. It just hurts too much'

'Lucas, that hapenned over two years ago, you have to get over it and face her'

'I can't mom. She's been here for two weeks and i haven't been able to see her yet'

'Lucas you have to be brave, that's how you are, and even if it hurts which i know it does, you have to face her and tell her everything that's on your mind' She walked towards Lucas and kissed him gently on his forehead. 'Good night son'

He smiled and took another sip of the beer. What could he do. He was hurt. So was her. But if he wanted to confront her it would have to be soon because Brooke was marrying tomorrow.

'You lazy girl, you better get up before i kick your ass!' Peyton spouted out to a sleepy Brooke. 'Your future husband just arrived and he wants to tell you how much he loves you before you get prepared for the wedding. Today is your day baby' she added before leaving the room.

Brooke got up just as Peyton had left the room and got ready to go down to breakfeast. She started to get down the stairs. There he was, his future husband. The man she loved the most. She loved him so much that she was willing to spend the rest of her live with him. He was al hers and she was all his. Sh caught him by surprise giving him a soft kiss on the mouth. Chase smiled as he turned around. 'So how did my girl sleep tonight?'

'Well, if i tell you i missed you, would you believe me?'

'Yes i would cause god knows i'm irresistable and you love me so much!'

'She hit him gently on the arm 'Don't you think you are the only man in my life' sha said before going to catch something to eat.

All girls were already settled in their headquarters, Karen's house. Karen had offered Brooke her house so all the girls got ready. Karen was actually really excited about the wedding. For her Brooke was like her own daughter. They had gone through many things together plus Brooke was Lilly's godmother. Brooke used to visit both Karen and Lilly really often dispite the fact that her agenda was full of appointments, she always managed to find a free moment to visit those she loved. Karen was for Brooke like her mother. All this reasons were what finally made Karen tell Brooke that her house would be great for her to get her dress on, her make up on and her hair up. They had become like a family and they were proud of it.

Brooke was setting her hair up. Her hair was curly and Haley was helping her make it as perfect as ever. Lucas entered the room quietly knocking the door carefuly. 'Hey' he said timidly.

'Hey you!' Brooke replied cheerfully.

'Haley, may i talk with Brooke alone for a second please' he asked his friend.

'Yeah, sure. I'm here back when you need me Brooke.'

Haley left the room leaving the two friends alone. Brooke looked as happy as ever, while Lucas kind of looked sad even though Brooke didn't seem to realise. 'So did Peyton you sort thing out?'

'Actually we haven't, we haven't even spoken since she got here and i can't do this now Brooke, i need to heal first'

'Well that's okay. I just ask you to behave please, that's the only thing i'm asking for, please. I mean, have you seen me Lucas ! I'm getting married today!'

Lucas face saddened when Brooke said those words. 'That was what i wnated to talk to you about, i think you shouldn't marry Chase' he spoke.

Brooke's mouth dropped. She couldn't believe what he was saying. 'Excuse me?'

'I know you don't understand right now, but i think you are making a mistake you'll regret. Just think about it please, promise me you will. If you think about it and decide Chase is the man for you then do it but if you are not sure don't. I'll come back later to pick you up.' He said turning around. As he was reaching the door, he turned round and added one last thing. 'Ijust want you to know how proud of you i am. I want you to know that i'm honored to be able to lead you to your future husband.' And with that being said he left.

Nathan was sitting outside Karen's house looking out for Lilly and James. Peyton exited the house and slowly walked towards Nathan. 'Wow! You look great Peyton!'

'Thanks Nathan. You look good yourself too' she said and smiled.

Nathan chuckled. 'So who is that boy who is going with you to the wedding, a new boyfriend?'

Peyton didn't expect this question and started to find an answer. 'No... he is my... cousin Andrew' she said after some hesitation.

'Well, i'll have to meet him later'

It was already time for the wedding to start. Everyone had left the house except for Brooke who was waiting for Lucas to pick her up at his room. She lloked carefully at the wall where pictures of everyone were standing. She looked at the first picture of her and Lucas. They where at the beach. It was after that summer when she had written all that letters saying how much she loved him. A smile appeared on her face. She then went to the next picture. Rachel and Mouth at a party. A small tear fell from Brooke's eye onto her chin. She couldn't keep looking at those pictures, so many memories, so many great moments but sad moments too. She turned around and went over to the desk on Lucas's room. She saw the computer on and her curiosity managed to take over her. It was then when she saw on the down right corner a folder with a name on it. Brooke. She opened it to find around 12 word ducuments. She knew she wasn't supposed to look at them but she couldn't help herself, so she clicked on the second one to try. Once this was done a new window appeared on the screen. On it a letter destined to Brooke.

'Dear Brooke,

I miss you so much. I can only think about you. After what's happened between Peyton and me i can only think of you. You've been so good to me and my mom and Lilly, i really don't know how to thank you. I really apreciate it...'

She was interupted by the sound of a door. Someone was in the house. She fastly closed the computer to turn around and see Lucas entering his room He was smiling. 'Are you ready pretty girl?'

Brooke could only nod.
