I Don't Believe You
Chapter 1
"Three simple Cards. Three beautiful ladies. It's real simple son. All you got to do is pick one."
"Alright."
"Just follow the heart"
…
"Come on now son. Three Queens, three choices. Just follow the heart."
"That's the one."
Lucas Scott opened his eyes, searching for some light in the dark bedroom. He turned his head to see a faint light coming from the living room next door. He got up slowly, rubbing his eyes as he followed the glow.
He walked in the room and saw that the T.V was on, very quietly. That was the only light in the room. Apart from the low noises on screen, it was silent.
"Hey, did we wake you?" Peyton asked, lifting her head from the cushion, so she could see her husband standing next to the sofa which she lay on.
"No, a dream woke me up" Lucas answered, a small smile appearing on his lips as he turned to see his wife lying on the sofa.
Peyton giggled softly at her husband, and she patted the seat, inviting him to sit next to her.
"A nightmare?" She asked, as he sat down.
"I don't know." He answered honestly. He couldn't remember the dream exactly, but he didn't want to. A part of him was telling him to forget it. He gave in and listened to the voice in his head, putting his dream aside.
"Anyway it doesn't matter now. Why are you up?" He asked, glancing at the clock that revelled that the time was 6:23am.
"She was crying because she was getting hungry." Peyton said, smiling down at her baby, Sawyer, who was wrapped up in a blanket, resting in her arms.
"Oh sorry, I didn't hear her." Lucas apologised whilst putting his arm around Peyton and Sawyer.
All of a sudden a strong flashback came flooding through Lucas' mind. One he hadn't really thought about before. Something that was triggered by the dream he had just had, and just remembered that moment. The dream where he had to pick between the three women he loved. The dream that he had many months ago. The dream that had made Lucas certain that Peyton was the one he wanted to marry. The dream that had come back unexpectedly minutes ago. That dream now had Lucas questioning, if after months of leaving Tree Hill, picking Peyton was in fact the right choice.
Lucas sat there, cuddling his wife and child, trying to shake the flashback of himself sitting on a sofa, arm around someone he hadn't seen in a few months, and cuddling baby Angie. That woman's face filled his head. Her dark brown coloured hair that was the length of her shoulders, her beautiful hazel eyes, her cute childlike dimples. Lucas sighed, feeling very guilty for that fact that he was starting to regret choosing Peyton. He began to feel afraid that once again he was falling in love with Brooke Davis.
...
"Brooke, come on were gonna be late!" Julian shouted, knocking three times on the bathroom door.
Brooke threw the door open and almost ran into him.
"Sorry" She said, leaning on the bathroom doorframe to get her balance back.
He took a step back, looking at the long black dress she wore. He then looked at her hair, noting how she had it down, and curled it in perfect rings, and he fringe was parted to the side. Finally he looked at her eyes. Her long black eyelashes and the black eyeliner that were applied with precision outlined her wide brown eyes. A grin spread across his face.
"What's so funny? Do I look a mess?" Brooke asked frantically, turning back to the bathroom to start her look all over again. She began to close the door, but Julian was right behind her, and he put his foot in between the door and the doorframe, stopping it from closing.
"You look perfect." He said, grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the bathroom. They walked hand in hand out of the apartment. Brooke had turned scarlet red after Julian's compliment, yet they both had smiles on their faces.
A long black limousine was waiting for them both outside.
"Don't forget were picking up Nate and Haley on the way." Brooke informed Julian, as he opened the door for her.
"I've already told the driver. Brooke you're worrying too much. It's not even a big deal. Just think of it as any normal night." He joked closing the door once she got in. He walked around to the other side of the limousine and climbed in.
"I can't believe you just said that your first premiere isn't a big deal!" Brooke almost shouted.
"Brooke" Julian began to moan, until Brooke interrupted him.
"No, it's a huge deal!" She corrected herself. Julian rolled his eyes and stretched his arm out so he could put it around Brooke, as they left to pick up Nathan and Haley for the night out.
