A week, a week ago Lucas told Brooke he was done. If she didn't want to be with him just tell him because he was tired of the back and forth between the two. A week ago she stood in his bedroom and a week ago he shut the door to that bedroom and to both people involved that door shut was almost like the door shutting on them.

Brooke hasn't spoken to Lucas in a week and she wants to go back. She wants to be in his room and putting her feelings out there and not letting her fear of being hurt get in the way. She has walked up to his door five times this week and almost knocked each time but never did. She has dialed his phone but hung up before he could answer and she has cried every night this week.

Brooke will tell anyone who will listen that she messed up; she messed up bad and lost the boy she loves. She lost the boy that makes her happy and all because of her damn pride. She hates herself, she hates that she lost Lucas and she hates that she is so sad at a time that should be so happy.

Her best friend in the whole world is getting married in just a few hours. Rachel, Jeff, Lucas and Brooke have all come to Tree Hill to see the couple marry and Brooke is so happy for her friends but she hates that she has to dance with Lucas and that when the wedding is over she has to walk down the aisle on his arm, she is hating it all.

"Brooke are you ok?" Haley asks as Brooke helps finish her hair.

"I'm fine." Brooke lies not looking at her friend knowing if she does she will know she is lying and not wanting to talk about it.

"Brooke…" Haley sighs spinning around to face her friend, "Just talk to me about it." Haley smiles that sweet smile everyone loves about her.

"Haley I can't. If I start talking about it I will cry again and if I cry again I will ruin my makeup and then…" Brooke pauses biting her bottom lip trying all she could not to cry again, "And if I talk about it I have to admit I lost him and I don't want to admit that." Brooke chokes out and by the time the last words come out so do the tears.

"Brooke…" Haley sighs standing up and hugging her best friend. "Shhh…its ok…"

"I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know why I am so afraid to be with him. I just don't think I could handle if I lost him again." Brooke cries and Haley tries to comfort her "I hate this feeling…" Brooke tells her pulling out of their hug and wiping her tears, "I hate that every time he opens up to me I close up and I hate that I can't just be honest with him."

"Brooke, I know he loves you and I know that right now you may think you lost him, but you haven't." Haley tells her friend "If you want to be with him even if he says he is over it and done, if you want to be with him, when you are ready there is no doubt in my mind he will be there." Haley smiles.

"Yeah…" Brooke smiles with a nod.

"Hales…" Both girls hear as the door open up to show the boy they had just talked about.

"Hey Luke what's up?" Haley asks and Brooke wipes her tear walking over to her purse avoiding looking at Lucas and doing all she could not to let him see her cry.

"Umm…" Lucas pauses looking over at Brooke.

"Lucas?" Haley says trying to get her best friends focus off the crying brunette since Haley knows Brooke doesn't want Lucas looking at her, not upset. Brooke hated people seeing her weak, and upset and vulnerable.

"Oh…umm…we are about to start." Lucas tells her but still keeping his eyes focused on the back of Brooke.

"Ok we will be right out." Haley tells him and Lucas just nods slowly shutting the door. "Come on Brooke." Haley smiles "You look gorgeous."

"Thanks Hales…" Brooke smiles hugging her best friend again "You look gorgeous too, definitely the most beautiful bride ever."

"Thanks B."

"Now let's get you married." Brooke smiles sticking out her arm that Haley took and both girls made their way out of the room towards the chapel.

Brooke felt the nerves take over her as she walked down the aisle towards the boy she still loved. The whole way down she had her eyes locked on his until he looked down and her heart broke. She wasn't sure what he was thinking, she wasn't sure what he thought about her anymore and that hurt her even more.

Haley looked gorgeous as she made her way down to them. Brooke loved the smile on Nathan's face as he watched the girl he loves move towards him. And when they said their vows to each other Brooke and Haley both couldn't help but let a tear fall, but now a sad one a happy one.

While both talk about the love they shared for each other Brooke couldn't help but keep her eyes on Lucas. His eyes stayed locked on hers pretty much the whole time only breaking away when he handed Nathan the rings but then his eyes were back glued onto the brunette standing in front of him.

The I do's were said and the rings where exchanged and Nathan just kissed his bride. Now they were walking back down the aisle and Brooke's heart raced as Lucas stepped towards her taking her arm in his, the first form of contact the couple has shared in a week. As they move down the aisle Brooke wished it was longer only so she could hold onto him a little longer, but as they move she feels her heart breaking and again tears forming.

"You look beautiful." Lucas whispers to her and Brooke looks down away from him as a tear falls. Neither speak again, neither say a word, both just let go of each other and head into different parts of the church. Both missing the feeling of the other beside them.

The vows were beautiful and the wedding was gorgeous. Now everyone was at the reception and laughing and joking about the newly married couple and everyone was about to make their speech, Lucas's best man speech and Brooke's maid of honor speech and both were a little nervous.

Lucas slowly stood up tapped his glass as the room silenced and he began "You know growing up I had two really important people in my life. My little sometimes annoying brother," he laughed causing everyone else to laugh "Then my amazing, sweet, wonderful best friend." He smiled at Haley and she smiled back wiping a tear that was already forming, "I was pretty dumb when it came to them because I thought they completely hated each other, two people who you put them in the same room would rip each other's heads off, which I had witnessed many times," Lucas laughed causing everyone again to laugh.

"But then…then I saw them together as a couple and I realized how dumb I was not to notice it before. The way they look at each other, like their world is right there, like no matter what everything will be ok because he has her and she has him. I have never seen my brother light up like he does when he hears Haley's name, or she walks into a room, and same for Hales she sees Nathan and it's like now matter how bad her day was its better because the person she loves is by her side." Lucas smiled as Haley leaned over kissing her new husband, "And I think that's what we all want, to find that one person who completes us," he said locking eyes with the person he thought completed him "And I can't wait for the day I get to have that. A love so strong it can make it through anything, the good and the bad. I think all of us want what they share." He sighed looking away from the brunette in front of him "So thanks for giving us hope, and thank you Nathan for making the person I have thought as a baby sister for so long finally my sister. To Nathan and Haley." Lucas finished raising his glass and taking a sip as did everyone else, and Haley walked over hugging him.

"I love you." She smiled as a tear fell.

"Love you too." He smiled back as they both took their seats and Brooke stood up wiping a tear that had started to fall.

"When I first moved here I didn't know anyone." Brooke started "You see I was from a completely different town and moving your senior of high school is pretty scary, yet then I meet someone." She smiled turning to look at her best friend "Someone so sweet, and honest, pure and caring, I meet Haley James." Brooke smiled "And when I meet her she was already dating my Natey here." She laughed making everyone laugh "There was something so honest about their love, it was something I wanted to find, wanted to feel. I remember one night I was talking to Nate, it was right after a basketball game and we were waiting for Hales and Lucas to finish doing whatever they were doing, and I asked him," Brooke turned to Nathan who she could tell he knew what she was about to say "I said Nate you aren't going to hurt my best friend right, because I love Haley James like a sister and I will so kill you." Brooke paused as everyone laughed until she continued "And he turned looking me dead in the eyes and said I am now and will always be in love with Haley James and one day she will be Haley James Scott. And with that look he gave me, it was full of so much love, so much honesty I realized that Nathan Scott was under the spell of Hales and I didn't even think she realized it yet." Brooke smiled at the couple "You see these two here will make you believe in love again, make you believe that love is real. That there really is something that makes you heart ache for some else's but in a good way," Brooke said looking over at the blue eyed blonde who still made her heart ache "A way where you hear their voice and your heart races, you can almost feel your blood race through your veins and your body craves to be by them, near them. Some people don't believe in fate or soul mates, but I believe in fate, I believe in soul mates and I believe that everything happens for a reason. Through all the tough times Nathan and Haley have been through they came out of it stronger than they were before, more in love then before and I know through any problems they may face they will continue to do that, because fate has brought them together, life is what made them go through all those tough times and god is what made them soul mates." Brooke smiled "So here is to Nathan and Haley, two people who are completely and madly in love, and two people who share a love I pray to find. Nathan and Haley." Brooke finished tipping her glass to the couple as both stood up hugging her and everyone clapped.

"I think you already found that love Brookie." Nathan whispered to his friend who just nodded looking over at Lucas whispering "Yeah me too."

"Now if you will please I would like to introduce Nathan and Haley Scott, as the couple takes their first dance as husband in wife." Mouth smiled as the newlyweds made their way to the dance floor.

Brooke watched as the couple danced to their first song and couldn't help but want what they were having, the moment they were sharing right then. Lucas stood up slowly walking over to the girl he still cared so much about and reached out his hand "Dance with me." He smiled and Brooke slowly slipped her little hand into his larger one as they walked onto the dance floor followed by other couples.

Brooke let her body relax against his, and took in a deep breath smelling his cologne that made her body get goose bumps, missing that smell and missing being this close to him, feeling his body close and against hers. She felt as his grip tighten around her waist and she got nervous again, slowly lifting her head to look at him as he brushed a piece of hair behind her ear keeping his eyes locked on hers, as he started to move his lips closer to hers.

"Lucas…" she said looking down avoiding his kiss.

Lucas closed his eyes leaning his head against hers trying to control every emotion he felt right then, not wanting to get upset at Haley and Nathan's wedding not ruining their day, but knowing right now by that one move she crushed him, and he knew he couldn't do it, he couldn't fight for her anymore, "I'm sorry," he whispered and she looked up at him, "I can't…I can't do this…I'm done..." He sighed letting go of her hand moving passed her.

Brooke stood there watching as he moves around the tables towards the exit and her heart broke, she messed up again and now he was officially giving up on them, "I'm sorry." She yelled after him and his body froze not turning to face her as the music stopped and everyone turned to face her. Brooke tossed a nervous glance at Haley who just smiled and mouthing go. "I'm sorry that I keep doing this ok." he turned to look at her along with everyone in the room, "I'm sorry I keep letting you get close to push you back away and I'm sorry I can't make up my mind. I blamed you for all the pain I felt this past year and I'm sorry for that because it wasn't fair and it wasn't your fault. It was mine." She sighed "I didn't think we would work because every goodbye got to hard and I am sorry I broke us off because I was so wrong, god was I wrong. I missed you so much and when you came back into my life I guess I pushed you away because I was scared. I was scared of getting my heart broken because I could barely get through it the first time." She cried. "When I shut that door I wanted to come back inside, I wanted to let you know that I couldn't do it, that I missed you and I guess that's why I called that one night. But when someone answered I didn't know, I thought you were over me, that you didn't love me anymore so I pushed you away and I kept pushing you away and I am sorry for that also. I'm sorry I am doing this in the middle of Naley's wedding, and that my time sucks so badly." She said and both Nathan and Haley laughed waving it off just glad that she was finally telling Lucas the truth.

"I miss you, which I know sounds crazy because I see you every day I spend almost every second of those days with you but I miss you still. I miss feeling you close to me and I miss the little things you use to do, like kiss me on the forehead or brushing my hair behind my ear. I miss not waking up next to you in the morning and not having you holding me at night." She smiled sadly wiping a tear that had fallen as everyone stayed quiet including the boy she was giving this embarrassing speech too. "You scare me Broody," she said with a small laugh which made him finally crack a smile "You scare me and the way you make me feel."

"How do you feel?" he asked finally speaking, as he moved towards her slowly.

"Like my heart races when I hear your name," Brooke shrugged sadly as she too started towards him "Like when you walk into the room my whole face lights up, and no matter how bad my day is its better because my world is right there, like I can feel my blood race through my veins. My heart aches for you but in the good way and my body craves to be near yours."

"Why do I make you feel like that?" he asked when he was finally in front of her, forgetting everyone else around as if they are the only two people in the whole room, in the whole world.

"Because…." She paused taking a deep breath "I love you."

"You love me?" Lucas smiles and Brooke nods and Lucas smile grows bigger as he wraps his arms tight around her and kissing her for the first time in over four months. Feeling her smile in their kiss and feeling her body fall into his as he picks her up spinning her around in his arms.

"About damn time…" They hear Rachel say making everyone laugh but neither says a word, neither break away from each other. Both are almost afraid if they do it won't be happening, if they end their kiss then they won't be together anymore.

Brooke feels Lucas smile again in their kiss and she feels his arms tighten around her even more and she is more than sure she isn't dreaming, as she slowly pulls away from their kiss, "Lucas please say it back…" Brooke asks nervously, quickly realizing she said I love you but he never said I love you back to her.

"I…" he pauses looking at her with a smile.

"Lucas Scott you better say it back to me or I may die right here." Brooke says with a small smile but at the same time completely serious. She just pulled a Lucas Scott speech and he better confess his love to her.

"Don't die on me I just got you back…" he laughs.

"Lucas!" Brooke squeals pouting.

"Brooke…" he smiles brushing a piece of hair behind her ear "I am completely in love with you Brooke Davis, and I know I will love you forever."

"I love you too." Brooke smiles kissing him again as she wraps her arms back around his neck, "I love you so much and I am sorry it took me so long to get it right."

"It's ok Pretty Girl I wasn't going anywhere." He grins kissing her again and Brooke just hugged him pulling tight looking over his shoulder at Haley who had on a big smile. Brooke smiled and mouthed a thank you and Haley just nodded blowing her a kiss. "Yeah, I'm glad you didn't…" she smiled pulling away and smiling up at him,

"Boyfriend."
