He dodges Brooke's phone calls, her questions and her musings, ever since she'd found out the truth of what had killed her best friend she'd been obsessed with it, obsessed with finding a way to somehow bring Haley back and Sam's terrified that in one of his many moments of weakness he just might give her the information she needs to do just that, because Haley was supposed to be his happily ever after and he still longs for his fairy tale ending no matter how jaded he becomes.

When he dreams, he dreams of her and what should have been.
He dreams up a life so extraordinary in its normalcy that he weeps for the loss of it and his every waking minute is spent counting the seconds until sleep comes and he can dream of it again.

He imagines her on their wedding day, her hair shimmering gold in the sunlight that streams through the stained glass windows of the church where the take their vowels. She'd look flawless and perfect in her gown and even his father, still alive, would have a tear in his eye as she glided down the aisle looking like the living embodiment of the innocence he'd devoted his life to protecting.
He imagines their children, a boy and a girl, playing in the backyard while he and Dean bicker over the proper way to light a barbeque and Brooke and Haley laugh at how childish both brothers are acting.
He imagines grocery shopping and play dates, school plays and quiet nights in front of the television, his daughters first date, his sons first car, office parties where his workmates look at him like he's the luckiest guy alive because his wife is the most beautiful woman in the room.
He imagines Haley older with glittering silver strands sprinkled through her hair, sitting beside him on their front porch drinking lemonade with their grandchildren and he imagines the death she should have had, the one where she lays her head down next to his and slips away peacefully in the night.

He's going through the motions of his new life, every demon he fights and every monster he wipes from the face of the earth is just another step closer to being with her again.
He can only hope that when the time comes, she'll want to be with the person he's become.
The Brooke companion piece is half finished so hopefully I'll get around to that soon.
