Chapter 3 – Don't Take Your Love Away From Me

He was about to open his mouth seing that Brooke didn't move. But he could at the same time she started to walk towards the door. 'You better not say anything' she warned him. And with that being said, she stormed out of the room. Lucas followed behind her. What could he have possibly done to make her furious. Maybe he shouldn't have asked her not to marry Chase, but he couldn't let her make a mistake she would regret for the rest of her life.

The limousine set off with both Brooke and Lucas inside. It was comfortable. But akward at the same time. Silence was the only thing that could be heard. Brooke stared out of the window. Outside the parked cars passed by, the trees passed by and children looking directly to the limousine trying to figure out who was inside. Brooke sighed and turned her head round to find her eyes looking directly onto Lucas'. Those hazel eyes weren't even blinking. He was looking at her with a face full of sadness. 'Why Lucas?' she asked sadly, 'Why now?'

Lucas' face changed in shock. What was all that about? He obviously had no clue on what was going on inside Brooke's head. 'What are you talking about?' he questioned starting to be concerned about her.

'About the letters Lucas. About the damn letters stored in your computer adressed to me! Because as far as i know i'm still Brooke Davis, Lucas!' she said while starting to raise her voice. 'What's wrong with you? Why did you have to write them?'

Lucas finally understood what all the fuss was about. 'I wrote them for you and i never got to send them cause i'm a coward and i never got to do so. But believe me, i regret not having done so'

'But why did you write them Lucas?' she asked while some tears started to form in her eyes. With her hand she wiped the of. 'You better hope my make up doesn't get ruined!' she warned him.

'I wrote those letters cause i felt like i had to, like if i owed them to you. Brooke, i'm sorry if this is shocking to you, cause you weren't supposed to find them but i have to tell you that-' he tried to continue but he was stopped by Brooke who was yelling at this moment.

'Oh no! Don't you dare try to excuse yourself or tell me how much you love me cause all that is just crap Lucas! Ican't believe this is happening to me, not in my wedding day. God! What am i supposed to do Lucas? Tell Chase that i'm not marrying him cause the boy who i used to date, which by the way chaeted me with my best friend two times, hid the fact that he loves for wahtever reason? Is that what i'm supposed to tell him?'

'I think you should' he replied cowardly.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Did he just tell her to tell Chase that she wasn't marrying him anymore? 'Well i'm sorry Lucas, but i'm not doing so. You know why? Cause as much as it might hurt you, i love Chase and i'm marrying him even if that brakes your heart' she answerd coldly while wiping away another tear. In that exact moment the car slowly pulled off. Brooke reached her sight outside the window. They were there. They had arrived to where the wedding was taking place.

Lucas got out of the car and went to open Brooke's door. She got his help to stand up and getting their arms together thay started to walk down a red carpet. Around them, hundreds of pine trees. And in front of them, tall mountains with some snow still on them. It looked like paradise. They were getting to the place were the ceremony would take place. The music started to be heard and Brooke managed to see lots of people standing up waiting to see her pass with Lucas. At the end the priest and Chase. He looked as hansome as ever. As they started too walk passed the people she could see some known people. Ther were friends from New York and of course her friends from Tree Hill. She could see them all. Bevin, Skillz, Rachel, Whitey, Deb, Karen, Nathan, Haley, Peyto. They were all there. She looked back at Rachel who was looking at the floor. Brooke took a last galnce at the empty seat next to Rachel before looking towards Chase who was metres away. She smiled. It was time for Lucas to hand Brooke to Chase, so he kissed her lightly on her cheek while he said those word Brooke didn't want to here again. 'You don't have to do it'.

'Yes i do' he said placing introducing the ring into Brooke's hand. She smiled as he smiled back at her.

But she was consmued by her thoughts, about everything that had happened. What Lucas had told her.

'Brooke?' the priest repeated.

Brooke looked up. 'Sorry, you were saying?'

'Do you want Chase as your legitimate husband?' he replied concerned.

Brooke couldn't believe they had already gotten to that part. She looked at Chase who was smilying. Back at Lucas who seemed sad. She then looked at Peyton who was sitting with her cousin. It was time to say something, to give a response. Did she really want to marry Chase? She loved him right? One thing she knew, she didn't love Lucas, that was for sure. But he was right, was she completely sure that she wanted to marry Chase? Or was he not? Confusion was everything Brooke could think about. Back to the priest and Chase.

'I'm sorry... I can't' she said akwardly as she run away. People started to mutter. Chase looked sad while a little smile appeared on Lucas' face.

She was sitting on a stone looking at the lake. The waters were calm. Chase walked towards her. 'Hey' he said.

'Hey, you are not mad?'

'Why would I? Look Brooke, i know you well enough to know that you must have had a good reason to run away, but don't worry for me. You know, i'm sure that if you once told me you would marry me, you'll do so again in a couple of months, cause you know what Brooke? I'm not going anywhere. I love you and i'm staying here to help you get through everything you need' being that said he gave her a soft kiss on her forehead and started to walk away. He stopped when Brooke spoke back.

'Chase, thank you'

Back at Karen's house everyone had gathered over there. They were still mumbling about what had happened earlier. Brooke could hear all the chating from Lucas' room were she was getting her dress off. A knock was heard on the door for it just to open and reveal Rachel was behind it. 'Hey' Brooke said with a smile on her face for seeing her friend.

'I just came to say goodbye'

'You are leaving already?'

'Yes, i am' she answerd coldly.

'Why?'

'You really want to know why Brooke? I can't believe you are even asking! Do you know how much i would have given to be in your position?' she said starting to increase her tone of voice. 'I was going to marry him Brooke, but i couldn't! And you can but waste the chance!' she said shouting by now. She turned round and left the room.

Brooke couldn't move. She looked back at the wall where Lucas had all those photos and looked directly at the one were Rachel and Mouth were laughing. She was taken awy from her thoughts when Lucas entered the room. 'How are you doing?' he asked concerned.

'No Lucas!' she answered. 'This isn't the place for you'

'Brooke, i know this is hard for you but we can be together now'

'Lucas, when are going to understand that i don't love you!'

'But you didn't want to marry Chase, that must mean something' he said getting closer to her.

'I have a lot of things going on in my life right now Lucas, and believe me, you are not one of them'

'Brooke, you came back to Tree Hill and you didn't marry Chase, that must mean something'

'No it doesn't. Besides, Peyton is my best friend and she still loves you'

'Really does she? Cause i'm not that sure!'

'Lucas! Stop it, ok? You were the one to end your relationship, not her, not me, not anyone. Stop blameing everyone for something that was actually your fault'

'So that's what you think? You think it was me?'

'I know it! Peyton has told me everything and it's all your fault'

'Well tell your best friend Peyton that she might just as well start to tell the truth to you instead of lying'

Lucas turned round and left Brooke alone wondering what he might have been talking about.

Inside the cab she was crying. She was on her way to the airport. It was then when she remembered it all.

FLASHBACK

Rachel was sitting on the couch watching television when the phone rang. She picked it up and answer it. 'Hello?'

'Is this Rachel Gatina? Is it Marvin McFadden's fiancée?'

'Yes this is it. Anything wrong?'

'I'm sorry to inform you that we've just found his body on a lake. He was drowned. I'm sorry miss'

Rachel couldn't believe it. The phone fell frome her hand as she placed both of them on her face. Tears feel over her face. On her right hand, a ring, the one Mouth had surprised her with when she asked her to marry him.

END OF FLASHBACK

Tears fell over Rachel's face. She looked down at her hand, and there it was, the ring the man she loved had once given her.
