Authors Note:
So, sorry for no Naley and or Brucas in the last chapter. But keep in mind this is a Brucas/Jeyton. Not Naley. It's not that I don't like Naley, it's just I have no clue how to write for them because their not my favorite couple. But I still love them!
Thanks so much for the reviews!!
Here's chapter 10!
"Hey baby." Lucas Scott said walking into him and Brooke's room, where Brooke lay sleeping. Brooke had been feeling awfully tired lately. Lucas crawled in beside her and kissed her neck. "I love you, Lucas." Brooke said, speaking softly. "I love you too Brooke. No matter what." Brooke nodded. She needed that reassurance every now and then. "Tomorrow's the big day." Lucas said. Brooke smiled. "I can't believe it. This week went by so fast."
Jake and Peyton were having their wedding on that day, a Saturday, while Brooke and Lucas had theirs on Sunday. Peyton and Brooke wanted their weddings close together. Nobody knew Peyton's secret yet, but she had told everyone that she had some exciting news.
Lucas and Brooke stayed there cuddling. It was quiet times like these that Lucas knew that he and Brooke were going to be together forever. Brooke smiled. She had never met a man like Lucas Eugene Scott before. He was so loyal, trustworthy, and honest. And yes, sometimes he broke those barriers. But all in the kindness of his heart.
Karen walked past Lucas's door and smiled. She was so happy that Brooke and Lucas had found their way back to one another. Karen had had that love before. Once, from someone who was gone now. Keith Scott. The only man she ever truly loved, and now he was gone. It didn't seem fair.
Karen knocked on the door and Lucas rolled over to his side of the bed. "Hey." Karen said. "It's time to get ready. You don't wanna be late." Lucas nodded as did Brooke. Karen walked away and Brooke smiled. "I love you, you know that?" Lucas asked. "I love you, too." Brooke said kissing him tenderly on the lips. "But right now we have to get ready for P. Sawyers wedding!" Brooke said suddenly happily as she got up. Lucas chuckled.
Jake arrived at the church early with Lucas and Nathan. Peyton, Brooke, and Haley were already inside and fixing up Peyton's wedding dress. Jake, Lucas, and Nathan walked around the church and Nathan smiled.
"I can't believe I was here a week ago." Nathan said, smiling at all the stained glass windows. "I can't believe I'm gonna be here tomorrow." Lucas added, smiling. "I can't believe I'm here right now." Jake said.
Soon people started to gather and Jake began to shake. "It'll be okay man, trust me." Nathan whispered in his ear and Jake smiled. "Yeah, I know." He said trying to convince himself.
Lucas Scott, who was his best man, was eager to say his speech about Jake and Peyton. He had written a lot about them, hell, there was lot to write.
Soon, the service started. Not long after, Peyton came through the arches of the church, accompanied by her father. Her beautiful blonde hair pulled up into a curly bun, her long white gown dragging against the floor. Jake smiled. He had never seen her so beautiful. Well, he did once. A long time ago. In one of the best moments in his life.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I knew you'd talk me out of it."
"So, where's Jenny?"
"She's safe."
"...I love you."
"I love you too."
Larry kissed Peyton's cheek and shook Jake's hand. Jake took Peyton's hand as she stepped onto the alter. Jake lifted the vial and Peyton smiled, wiping away stray tears. The pastor babbled on about love and worship. But soon it was time to say their vows. "Peyton?" The priest asked to a crying Peyton.
"Jake. You didn't know how right you were when you said you could hold me in your arms forever, and it still wouldn't be enough. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Jake Jagielski. I love you, and Jenny, and I hope that's enough. I will, and always love you, Jake. And nothing else matters."
Jake smiled broadly and Peyton chocked back a sob. Both forgetting all of the drama and tragedy in their lives at this point. They wished they had more moments like this, moments of pure bliss.
"Jake?" The priest asked, and Jake smiled again, noticing Larry smiling in the front row. "Peyton. When I first met you, I was just a kid. And some may say we are still kids. But I had a child. A little girl who meant the world to me. And then you came along. You taught me how to love, Peyton Sawyer. You love me, and our daughter. And I wouldn't give any of it back for the world. I promise, I will, love you forever."
And with a kiss, it was official. They were Mr.& Mrs. Jake Jagielski. And it meant everything.
Brooke had started crying halfway through. Seeing her best friend be married off to her friend, was the best thing she could have wished for. Lucas was smiling aswell, and wiping away tears from Brooke's eyes. He had never seen her this happy.
Cameras were flashing as they entered the ballroom, were Jake and Peyton's song started to play. "Far Away." Came on and Jake rested his hands on her hips as Peyton did the same with his shoulders. They just stood there, swaying through the day. Not caring what people thought of them. But knowing they were going to be together forever.
Soon, other people crowded the dance floor. With couples like, Brooke and Lucas, Nathan and Haley. Everyone who meant anything to them.
Lucas was dancing with Brooke. Her pregnant stomach pushed up against his pelvis. He loved these quiet moments. But that's when he saw his mother. Sitting at a table, trying not to cry.
He knew if Keith was here she would have danced with him. Lucas pulled away from Brooke and she looked up at him. "I need to see my mom." Brooke nodded. "Okay baby." She answered kissing him before he walked to his mother.
"Hey mom." Lucas said holding out his hand. "Wanna dance?" Lucas asked. Karen nodded. Lucas and Karen danced slowly. Karen sobbing onto Lucas's new tie. Lucas knew she missed Keith. And so did he.
The song ended. All the couples looked at each other. Brooke with Lucas, Jake with Peyton, Haley with Nathan. This was the way it was supposed to be.
And it would always be that way. Or at least they hoped it would.
