The moment of happiness was slowly drifting from Brooke Davis. She had wondered why she was feeling so unhappy. She knew that she was losing Lucas and that she would probably lose him forever. She told herself that she would have to understand that Lucas has his own life, that he could do whatever he wants. She remembered the moments they shared together. She never thanked him for helping her change over the years. He was the one that brought her hope for the most damaged situations.
Brooke had dreamed about this moment for a while. She had dreamed that prom would be the best night of her life. She has changed so much over the years, she was always in danger and the center of attention. Soon, she realized that she would not have the friends that she has now. Soon, they would separate and have their own lives. Some would become famous, have her own company and her friends would have their own family and make a life for themselves. Brooke didn't know what she was going to do with the rest of her life and it scared her. She tried to have her fashion line but it could never work out. Her mother didn't like the idea and she had no help. Brooke wanted to keep her young life on hold. She wanted to stay in this place forever. She had so many worries in the world. She had a lot of things to decide and she didn't want money to help her out. She wanted to do things on her own, she wanted to be different from her parents. She looked around the crowded hotel ballroom and didn't see anyone that she knew or liked. The whole senior class was there, also a couple of juniors and sophomores. Brooke felt like she was getting swallowed by the school. She continued to look around but not for her best friend.
"Lucas," Brooke called his name, yelling over the laughing of hundreds of children. She pushed past some of the students but then she realized that she couldn't move. The crowd started to get closer, she felt uncomfortable and her heart started to race out of her chest. "Lucas." She said again, the music was so loud that she couldn't hear herself think. She could barely hear herself calling out for Lucas. She was worried if she was really calling out to Lucas. Suddenly, she felt someone's soft hands grabbing for her. Brooke felt herself being pulled. She looked up and Lucas was standing in front of her, still holding onto her hand. "I was looking for you." Brooke smiled, nervously. She had feelings for Lucas, she couldn't help it. They had become a little closer over the years; he's the reason why Brooke has changed so much.
"Dance with me." Lucas asked her, smiling down at her. Brooke couldn't say no. She agreed and Lucas pulled her out farther into the dance floor. Slow music came on, the whole room became quiet and all you can hear is the whispers of their feet on the ground. They stared into each other's eyes, believing that this would be forever.
"I can't dance." Brooke chuckled, standing in front of him. Lucas chuckled, raising his eyebrow. He has seen Brooke dance plenty of times. Lucas grabbed her hand and slowly started to move with her.
"You look beautiful." Lucas complimented her. Brooke looked up at him immediately. She couldn't believe what he just said that to her. Her heart started to beat slowly and everything was calm. No one had ever called her beautiful before, not even a guy. This was the first time that a guy actually called her beautiful. She finally felt like she deserved to be given a second look.
"Really?" She asked him, raising her eyebrows in surprise. Her voice was soft and gentle. Lucas smiled. Lucas nodded, he rose his arm and Brooke twirled around. She didn't want lose Lucas ever, they became so close over the years and she didn't want to lose that. "Lucas," She called his name, he looked down at her with a smile. She didn't know what the after effect would be if she told him this but she would have to take a chance. "I know that High School is almost over and I know that all of us are going to separate but-" Brooke closed her eyes, she had to brave to say this.
"I'm not going to leave you Brooke." He told her, reading her mind. Brooke looked up with tears in her eyes. He stopped dancing and looked directly into her soft eyes. He meant everyone word and he wanted Brooke to know that he was serious.
"I'm afraid to be alone and seems like you're the only true friend that I have in my life and I want to keep that." Brooke confessed.
"You won't go a day without seeing me and I wont go a day without seeing you." Lucas promised her, he leaned forward so that Brooke could hear every word that he said.
"Your promise? Every day, the rain or shine, the hell or high water?" Brooke smiled a little, Lucas chuckled, leaning back a little. Lucas looked around the room and back at Brooke. Brooke blushed, smiling widely at him. Suddenly, Peyton appeared from the crowd, staring blankly at them. She had this angry look on her face but she tried to hide it with a smile. Lucas let go of Brooke's hands. He kissed her on the forehead and started to walk towards Peyton. Brooke felt her heart ache. She was hurt that he didn't promise her, that he was just saying that to make her feel better. Lucas quickly turned around, looking at Brooke alone on the dancefloor.
"I promise." Lucas told her, a wide smile formed across from her face, ear to ear. Lucas chuckled and walked over to Peyton to dance with her. Brooke turned around, biting her lip. She was excited and happy for their relationship that was about to blossom.
