Hey to all my gorgeous readers...
Sorry I've taken so long uploading this chapter... I suddenly got writers block and my mind went totally blank...
So this is the last chapter and I hope you like it... I'm really glad you guys inspired me to do a squeal to liars and cheaters. I loved writing this story a lot... And that is why my updates came so fast... I've been wanting to do this squeal for years, but never got round to it and now it's come to an end and it's a very sad time.
I want to say thank you to all my readers that have reviewed and followed this story... I appreciate all of you support and I love you all. So this chapter is 10 years after Peyton's death.
Anyway here is the last and final chapter... ENJOY!
"Miley can you please get our sisters jacket from the cupboard" I walk out of Cassie's room and down the hall to see Lucas sitting at the computer in his office "Is mighty Lucas Scott joining his wife and kids at the Naley household today?"
Lucas looks up and closes his laptop taking off his glasses and putting them in the case "Does wife and kids want me with them today?" He asks swirly his chair around to face me
"Yes daddy we do" Cassie says running into the room "Let's go" she took hold of Lucas's hand and pulled at him "Come on daddy Peyton's waiting"
"Yeah dad" Miley smiles from behind me "Peyton is ready before you an she's just three"
"Okay I'm coming. God I sure hope this one is a boy... I'm very over powered with all you girls" Lucas laughs picking up Cassie who is 6 and kisses her cheek "Now we better go before Auntie Hales and Uncle Nathan send out a search party"
"Still not funny Luke" I roll my eyes and follow Miley down the hall and down the stairs to a very patient Peyton who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
"Mama" She says when she sees me. I pick her up and she hugs me before pulling away "I have the same name as her don't I?" I turn my head and look to where she was pointing and sure enough there was the picture of Peyton, Haley and I the first time we won the cheer competition.
"Yes princess you sure do" I kiss her cheek and she smiles
"Good because she's pretty just like you Mama"
"Thank you princess now let's go see Auntie Haley and uncle Nathan" I take Cassie's hand and we head outside where Miley was already standing by the car.

"How you doing?" A voice asked from behind me. I turn around and see Haley smiling at me "I know it's a tough day today... Nathan keeps thinking I'm going to break every year"
"Yeah Lucas thinks the same" I comment turning back to look out the window "It's gone by so fast though, don't you think Hales"
"What has?" Haley questions now standing beside me.
"Time" I simply reply crossing my arms across my chest "10 years went by in a flash" Haley just nods as she rocks her hip into mine "I miss her Haley... I miss her everyday"
"So do I Brooke" Haley admits "I just wish I never wasted that year being mad at her... I miss the way us three where together and now it's not the same"
"Mom can Ava come over tonight?" Miley asks walking into the den where Haley and I were standing "I asked dad, but he said to ask you"
"I thought Kadie was coming over tonight?" I reply turning to face my 11 year old daughter.
"I am Aunt Brooke" Kadence answers walking into the den too.
"But we want Ava to come too... Please Mom" Miley does her puppy dog look which I can never say no to.
I let out a loud sigh and rolled my eyes seeing both girls smile "Okay fine Ava can stay"
"Thanks Mom" Miley squeals with Kadence as they walk out the den and back into Kadence's room. Kadence was just a couple of months younger than Miley, but the three girls have been bestfriends since they were 4. A bit like Haley, Peyton and I.
"Looks like you have a house full tonight" Haley laughs
"Yeah, but Cassie and Peyton both love Ava, so it won't be too bad. I just feel for Lucas" I then place my hand on my growing stomach "Lucas hopes I'm having a boy and on some level so do i... I have three girls, a boy would be nice" Haley smiles at me and walks towards the exit to the kitchen.
"You coming Brooke?" I look from the window to Haley and nod. I needed to get back to reality and stop dwelling on the guilt I was feeling.

"Mommy" Hayden came running up to Haley with a marker in her hand "Look what I did" She gave the piece of paper to Haley and grinned "All by myself I did"
"Oh wow princess it's beautiful" Haley gushes looking at the picture "I'm going to hang it up here" Haley takes a magnet from the pot and pins the picture to the fridge door "So pretty"
"Thank you" Hayden grins again before running off back into the living room.
"Oh wow she's so big now?"
"Yeah, they get big too fast" Haley states which was true. Miley was11... it just seemed like yesterday that I woke up on her birthday.
"So where's Harley?" I ask wondering where Hayden's twin sister was... They were normally together always. There was never a time when they were not together. Since birth they have been attached at the hip.
"She should be with the others" Haley replies pouring me a glass of orange juice "So you excited for baby Rileigh to be born?"
"Actually I am" I nod taking a sip of my orange juice "It's funny because Lucas picked the name this time... He said he liked it because it could be used whether we have a girl or boy, but I like the name Ashley on depending on the birth... The name could be switched. If we have a girl we'll name her Rileigh, but if we have a boy then Ashley"
"Ahh I see" Haley laughs sipping at her red wine "Well I think either name is perfect for your unborn baby"
"Thanks Hales" I smile picking up my drink as we head back into the living room.

"How is my favourite girl doing?" Lucas asks walking up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist and laying his hand on my stomach.
"I don't know about her, but your wife is doing good thank you" I turn around in his arms and smile at him.
"Ha funny" He says smiling back "Glad you still have that sense of humour I love so much"
"Oh is that the only reason you love me Mr Scott?" I raise my eye brow and snake my arms around his neck.
His arms went around my waist again "Nah I think we make really good looking and awesome kids.. That's why I really love you"
"Oh is that so?" I question running my hand through his hair.
"No I love you because even after everything that's happened you haven't broken... Your strong Brooke and I admire that" I smile at him and he smiles back "I love you because you were different and I married you because I knew you were always the one"
"And I love you because you've given me the family I've always wanted" I then lean up and kiss him lightly on the lips "Thank you" I mutter into the kiss.
"Can I ask you something Brooke?" I nod waiting for him to continue "Do you know the sex of our baby?" A grin appears on my face.
"Nope" I lie turning away from him so he couldn't tell I was lying "We agreed to wait remember"
"Yeah, but I also remember how impatient you can get" He says turning me back to face him "So I ask again do you Mrs Scott know the sex of our baby?" I nod slowly and a smile forms on his face as his eyes light up "Pretty Girl?"
"Hmm..."
"What are we having in 3 months time?" He asks and I look up into his eyes and my heart melts all over again and I swear every day I fall more in love with him it's unbelievable.
"Y0u sure Broody?" He nods and I wrap my arms back around his neck and lean up on my tip toes so my lips where by his ear "We are having... A baby" I laugh and pull away from him and to the kitchen door.
"Oi Pretty Girl that's not fair" He states walking towards me "Play fair"
"Okay fine" I give in kissing him lightly on the lips "We my dear husband are having a..." I stop a minute and smile at him seeing his eyes light up again "We're having a boy Broody"
Lucas smile got wider and he picked me up swinging me around "Really Brooke... A boy?" I nod and he crashed his plumped lips to mine "God I love you Pretty Girl" He utters into our kiss.

I stand in the corner watching as everyone in the room interacts with each other. My and was placed on my stomach. I look to Haley mantle and see the same picture I have on mine back home. A sudden rush of guilt and sadness washed over my body like the sea washing over the beach. So I leave for a moment. I walk down Naley's drive way and out the double gates turning the corner I head down to the bridge. The bridge that made everything better, but I knew it wouldn't work this time so I carried on walking down the few steps and to the graveyard.
I push the steel gates open and walk inside through the gravestones I make my way to Peyton's. I sit down on the ground and run my fingers over her tomb stone 'Loving daughter, Bestfriend and sister' was written and I smiled just a little as a tear slipped down my cheek and onto the grass "I miss you and I'm sorry for everything" I cry "I wish you were here... I now have 3 girls and a boy on the way which Lucas doesn't know about yet, so don't tell anyone" I place my hand on my stomach "Oh and I named one of my girls after you and I think she likes that because according to her, you're pretty just like me" I laughed at Peyton saying that to me earlier today "So I speak to your dad on occasion" I tell her stretching my legs out in front of me and leaning back on my hands "He seems happy again Peyton... As his already told you him and Maggie got married 3 years ago. He wished you was there though... Even though it was nice I missed you... I always miss you Peyt" I stood up and placed my hand on her grave stone and a single tear fell down my cheek "I love you " And just like that I walk away through the graveyard thoughts swimming through my mind.
My world came crashing down when I stood at my birthday party and watched the tape Peyton had made of her and Lucas. I felt sick just looking it. The two people I loved the most had betrayed me it hurt real bad, but I forgave Lucas because I loved him and now I regret not forgiving Peyton too... And now she's gone and after finding out she was protecting me makes me feel even more guilty and every day I hate myself a little knowing she tried and I didn't.
I miss Peyton and I wish things were different. She saved my life and died in the process and now it's 10 years later and I still cry just thinking about her.
So the moral of this story is no matter what's happened you never know the truth unless you listen to both stories and not assume things. Peyton was protecting me, but I assumed the worst because of the tape and I lost time with her that I can never get back.
So I guess we all got through this together and not apart. I have my family and they've helped a lot.
As you all know I'm Brooke Davis and this is my story and I hope you all enjoyed me telling it.
So there you have it the last and final chapter over. I hope you liked it just as much as I loved writing it and I hope you loved this story just as much as I loved writing it for you all... I loved all your reviews and all your support. I want to thank you all truly from the bottom of my heart.
I have another Brucas story coming your way... So please look out for it. I will be advertising it shortly.
Much love to you all... Roch xoxo
