Hello everyone...

I'm back again with another fast update.

I'm glad you liked the last chapter in Peyton's point of view... It needed to be done.

So there isn't many more chapters after this one sop this story will be ending in a few days.

Anyway here's the next chapter... ENJOY!

I felt numb... I had my best-friend back for just a second before she was taken away from me again... And this time she wasn't coming back. Lucas had been dealing with Miley for the past couple of weeks and I appreciate that. Lucas and I got back together after the warehouse thing happened and Miley and I moved back in the same day. I haven't left the house in like a week.

I called Larry... Peyton's dad and it broke me seeing him so broken. He lost his wife and now his daughter. I could see the regret he had not being around a lot flash through his eyes when I saw him. The imagine of Peyton's falling body was printed in my mind and it haunted my dreams every time I closed my eyes to sleep at night.

Peyton was gone and the guilt I was feeling wasn't going away. I casted her out of my life for a long time because I thought she betrayed me, but she never did... She tried to protect me and now I'm can't get that time back... I will never be able to make it up to her and I hate myself everyday for it.

"Brooke baby, you hungry?" I turn my head from looking out the window to see Lucas standing in the door way of our room "Miley is down for her nap, I can cook you something"

"It's okay Luke" I reply looking back out the window "I'm not hungry"

"You haven't eaten for two days Brooke... I'm getting worried" He says walking further into the room. He walked over to me and sat down next to me on the window sill. I felt his hand on my leg. He traced circles on my leg and I must admit it soothed me.

"Lucas... look" I turn to face him. I moved myself closer to him and placed my hand on his "I understand your worried for me, but Peyton is gone... She's gone and she isn't coming back... I wasted so much time hating her and now I've lost her" I cried. I leaned into him and felt his arms wrap around me as I breakdown. I miss her already and the aching feeling is never going away.

"You okay baby?" Nathan asks walking into the kitchen. He had just put Kadence down for her nap.

"I'm doing better" Haley replies turning to face her husband "I just... I feel so guilty Nate"

"Haley you don't have to feel guilty" Nathan tries to assure her

"Yes Nate... Yes I do" Haley takes off the washing gloves she had on and throws them on the counter "I casted her out of my life because I thought she was a home-wrecking whore, but she wasn't... She was just protecting me and I dint let her explain and now it's too late... I would give anything to change what happened"

"Haley baby... Peyton knew you were sorry and she knows you loved her... Yeah the last 2 years haven't been easy without her, but we'll get through this... I promise" Haley just nodded crashing her body to his and Nathan wrapped his arms around her... He just wanted her to feel comfort like she use to.

Lucas just took Miley out when I heard a knock at the front door. I looked out the window seeing a car parked outside. I slowly lifted myself from the window sill and wrapped the blanket Peyton and I made when we were younger around me. I walked out of my room and down the hall to the stairs hearing a knock on the door again. I drag myself down the stairs and to the front door. I turn the knob and see a delivery man standing there. He had a brown box in his hands and a clip board in his other hand.

"Are you a miss Brooke Davis" He asks looking at the form. I nod slowly with a confused look on my face "This is for you" He handed me the box "Could you sign here please" I nod signing my name, thanking him then walking back into the house shutting the door behind me.

I walk into the living room and sit down on the couch placing the box on the coffee table in front of me. At a snail's pace I open the box and the first thing I see are pictures of Peyton, Haley and I in our cheer outfits at the last competition we done together before everything happened. I then notice an envelope with 'To Brooke' written in Peyton's hand writing... Weird... Right? I took the envelope and opened it taking out the pink paper and began to read...

To Brooke...

If you have received this box then that means I'm dead.

I just wanted to explain everything in case I never got the chance to. I'm sorry Brooke... I'm sorry for hurting you, I didn't mean. Dan threatened your life and I couldn't let that happen which is why I agreed to help him. I now wish I came to you sooner because when I found out Dan was on the hunt for me and that he was coming back to Tree Hill I panicked and I knew you all had to know what was going on so you could be aware, but obviously it didn't work because I'm dead.

I'm sorry for leaving you alone Brooke... I hate that it's come down to this and the time we've lost we cannot gain back, but I don't want you nor Haley to feel any guilt... I know you both too well and I know you're both going to feel guilty for casting me out, but I want you to know that I understand why you did it and I don't blame you nor have I ever hated you for it.

I'm going to stop rambling now and finish this short letter with saying I love you Brooke... I've loved you like a sister since we met. You've always been my best-friend and I just wished it never ended like this.

So I had this box sent to you on behalf of me because the things inside are my most precious memories and I want you to have them. This is goodbye for now Brooke, but I'll always be with you... I promise.

A tear ran down my cheek and across my nose as I finished reading the letter. I folded it back up and put it into the box. I searched around looking and a smile appeared on ym face when I found the frame I cherished the most. The home made sister frame she made for my 7th birthday. It had a picture of Peyton and I at my 7th birthday which Larry threw for me. It was one of the best birthday's I've had. I stood up and walked over to the fire place and placed the frame on the mantel piece.

"I miss you and I love you too" I whisper into the silent air and that's when I feel a warm feeling rush through my body... Peyton was right... She'll always be with me.

I stood on the bridge that happened to make our problems fade away as I watch my best-friends casket slowly lower into the ground. I look down at the graveyard where everyone was standing paying their last respects to the girl I'll never see again. A mass of black clothing filled most of my vision, but the 6 year old Peyton standing beside her grave I did not miss. She turned from her grave and looked straight at me. A smile formed on her face and she waved. She waved like it was normal to see her. I smiled back as tears gradually rolled down my face and then she was gone.

I then look down at the seat we would usually take and I see a curly blond headed girl swinging her legs above the water tears rolling down her cheeks. The day her Mom died.

I turn around and look under the arch way and see Peyton standing in her cheer outfit the night of our first game. Her blond curly hair was bouncing around the frame of her face as she grabbed my hand and we ran up to her car to head for the game.

The moment we stole that makeup from the mall flashed through my mind making a small smile form on my lips. Her wavy hair flowing behind her as we ran when the security guard shouted after us.

And my most cherished memory when we were all making cookies for Anna's birthday the year before she died. The disaster we made was awesome even though they came out bad, but Anna still tried one and she told us they were good even though we knew they weren't. It was fun.

And now she's gone. She's gone for good.

I heard footsteps come up behind me as I wiped away the last of the tears. I pull my black jacket closer around me and cross my arms across my chest "I loved her you know" The voice said. I turn around and see Julian standing behind me. He looked from me to the graveyard and then to the ground and kicked a rock by his feet "The more time I spent with her the more I fell in love with her and I know she loved me just as much, but she loved you and Haley more. Don't forget that" And without waiting for me to respond Julian slowly walked away. His hands buried in his trousers pockets. He hung his head looking down at the ground as his shoes scraped against the pebble floor and he was gone.

That was the last time I saw Julian Baker.
