Authors Note:
Thanks for the reviews! Here's chapter 19! Don't hate me Brucas fans! Lol.
"No matter what I say, no matter what I do, no matter what you think, Brooke Davis I will always love you. In the pouring rain, in the hottest days, in the sleepless nights. I will stand by your side. I will never let you down, never let you go. Never break your heart, never tell you no. I will always love you, Brooke Davis. And I will never regret you. You will always have my heart."
Brooke started to cry as she remembered Lucas's wedding vow. The way he made the words flow made her eyes swell up with tears, kinda like how she was at their wedding. Chocking on her tears.
She was sitting on that very same couch that Peyton had sat weeks earlier. Not knowing what to do, what do say, or how to say it. What if Lucas was gone? Gone and never coming back? What would she do without him? Only time would tell.
Jake and Peyton came rushing into the waiting room to find a very distraught Brooke on the couch. "Brooke!" Peyton called running over to her. Brooke stood up and hugged her best friend. "Karen called us. Is Lucas okay?" Peyton asked as Jake walked up beside her.
"...I...don't know..." Brooke cried onto Peyton's shoulder. Peyton gave Brooke to Jake and he hugged her nervously. "Its okay, Brooke." He whispered in her ear, she smiled. "I hope so..." She whispered to Jake's neck.
They sat in the waiting room for hours, Jake and Peyton holding hands and Peyton's other hand holding Brooke's, waiting for the news.
Brooke couldn't believe she didn't hear him. He must have tried to scream...she should have been listening. Oh god this was all her fault. Peyton knew the guilt she was feeling and held her close. "It'll be okay B. Scott."
Soon the whole gang was there. Haley, Nathan, Karen, Larry...everybody. All waiting for the news.
Soon, a nurse with a sober expression on her face approached them.
"Are you the family and friends of Lucas Scott?" They all nodded. The nurse sighed. "I'm sorry...but he's gone."
Brooke couldn't breathe. The air was sucked from her lungs, she was gasping for air but she couldn't breathe. He couldn't be gone. He just couldn't be. She sighed horrifically and began to cry hardly.
Peyton sat there, holding Brooke, crying her heart out as well. And soon, everyone was crying. Karen had lost her one and only child. The only thing that ever truly mattered to her. And now he was gone.
Peyton fell into Jake's arms and he held her, crying as well.
They all had to go home. But they didn't want to leave him there. His funeral was to take place on the weekend. The nurse asked if Brooke and Karen wanted to see Lucas for one last time. Brooke and Karen nodded.
Brooke went in first. Everything was blurry through her ever flowing tears, but there he was. Lying there, his heartbeat a flat line, his shit wide open revealing his chest.
It was a moment Brooke would carry around with her forever.
She sat beside him and held his hand, starting to cry even harder.
She kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear,
"No matter what I say, no matter what I do, no matter what you think, Lucas Scott I will always love you. In the pouring rain, in the hottest days, in the sleepless nights. I will stand by your side. I will never let you down, never let you go. Never break your heart, never tell you no. I will always love you, Lucas Scott and I will never regret you. You will always have my heart."
The same wedding vow he had told her not too many weeks ago. She cried harder and harder that the nurses couldn't take her out of the room, she just wanted to be beside him, lay beside him.
She just wanted to feel him again.
But he was gone.
Jake and Peyton got home and Peyton collapsed into Jake's arms, crying her heart out. Jake unknowingly to her, did the same. They just lied there together, holding each other. Not to ever let go.
Haley did the same with Nathan. Her tears staining his cotton undershirt as he cried as well. Lucas was his brother. He couldn't believe what an ass he'd been in the past. Lucas deserved better then that. And worst of all, it was too late to say he was sorry.
Karen collapsed into the carpeted floor of her home. There was nothing left for her to live for. She lost her son, her fiancé, and her dignity.
But one thing she didn't lose, was Larry.
"Karen..." He whispered from behind her, helping her up as she looked into his soulful brown eyes. And they kissed. That was all she ever wanted. Was love.
She almost died when she home. She lost him.
She cried as she held her stomach and lied down on their bed. Just hoping he would walk through the door and come back to her and their baby.
But he didn't.
And once again, Brooke Scott was lost and lonely.
